Chapter 1 of the book two rewrite!!!!!!:D:D

 

Chapter 1

That summer, the Pieper’s house was packed for the last time and they got in their cars and drove all of the way to Albuquerque New Mexico to their new house. Well, the house they would live in before they built their forever home. Anyway, all of their stuff was there and they just had to unpack everything so the fangirls and their one yes-fanboy came to help them unpack on the Fourth of July. That day, when Lexi’s friends arrived, Lexi came running out to greet them.

“Hello! It’s so great to see you all!” she cried as she threw her arms around Breanna. Thaddeus raised his eyebrows as he got a good look at Lexi. He hadn’t gone with the fangirls in Auradon to see Lexi, James and Conner in a very long time and the last time he saw her, she was thirteen.

Wow, I thought she was lovely before, but she blossomed. No, no, we’re just going to be friends, Thaddeus thought as Lexi came toward him and wrapped her arms around him in a big hug.

“Oh, Thaddeus, it is so great to see you again!” Lexi smiled. Thaddeus grinned down at her. He was almost a full foot taller than Lexi was.

“It’s great to see you too, Fangirl!” he said as he hugged her back. “Fangirl” was a nickname that he had given her while she had been gone. Lexi giggled as she let go and opened up the door to let them in and they got to work. They unpacked all of the books on the book shelf and put all the games in a closet. The bare minimum of what Lexi's mom would allow them to do.

“I missed you guys so much!” Lexi said as they sat down in the living room. Kaylee smiled.

“We missed you, too! How was it, living in Jefferson?” she wondered. Lexi shuddered.

“It was awful! Well, at least school was. Everyone in school made fun of me because of my tendency squeal when I’m happy or excited,” Lexi explained.

Thaddeus’s face suddenly felt hot. That was really awful, making fun of someone just because of something they do. “It was much better in California. No one made fun of me there, they just teased me playfully.” 

Thaddeus felt nervous for some reason. Like he was going to stutter if he started speaking. Butterflies were flying around in his stomach. It was hard think about anything but Lexi and why had fallen for her when they were kids. She was so genuine, so herself. So kind and giving and loyal to each and everyone of her friends. Including him. Plus, she was gorgeous. She had shoulder length strawberry blonde hair with curtain bangs that always fell in her face, deep hazel eyes, freckles across her nose, and this smile that just lit up a room-

Oh, boy. I'm not over my feelings for her. How weird. Thaddeus thought, sweat beading on his brow. But, wait. Why is that a bad thing? I can ask her out now. The thought excited him. Though, it made him incredibly nervous at the same time.  

I'm going to need help, Thaddeus concluded.

"Thaddeus, what do you think?" Lexi's voice wondered, though it sounded far away.

"Huh?" Thaddeus replied, suddenly being jerked out of his stupor by the very cause of it felt bizarre.

"I was just was wondering if you guys wanted to stay for dinner?" Lexi repeated. 

"Oh, yeah. That sounds great," Thaddeus agreed, grinning as his glasses slipped off his nose.

For the first time in many years, they all hung out together again. They got some of the board games out the new game closet and then they ate the brisket that Lexi's dad had cooked on their smoker. Then all sat in the backyard to watch the beautiful firework show before Thaddeus took everyone back home again.  

“It was so great seeing her again!” Bridgett said happily. Thaddeus was just quiet until they dropped Kaylee off at her house.

 “So, I think I still like Lexi,” Thaddeus muttered awkwardly as he turned out of Kaylee’s neighborhood. Breanna snorted.

“Why am I not surprised?” she teased. Thaddeus chuckled.

“Okay, I need your help. How should I ask her to homecoming?” Breanna shrugged.

“Maybe you should do something Descendants themed. Something like- "

Thaddeus cut her off as he had an idea.

“Ben’s cotilion proposal!” Thaddeus exclaimed. Breanna nodded.

“Yes! You have done your homework, my friend,” she praised. Thaddeus smiled and looked relieved that he had something to work with.

“That is a great idea!” Gabrielle said from the back seat. Breanna turned around to face her.

“Listen, you do not say anything about this. Especially not to Lexi,” she said to Gabrielle seriously. Gabrielle nodded.

“Obviously,” she said, sounding sassy. Breanna sighed in relief. So, towards the beginning of the school year, Thaddeus would ask Lexi to homecoming. He would get her favorite flowers: daisies and lavender sprigs because Lexi was so special to him. And hopefully, she would say yes.

Early chapter again because I'm going to Universal Studios this week!! Chapter 14 of the Fangirls, book two!!!!!!!!!!:D:D

  Chapter 14 When Lexi and Thaddeus arrived to Homecoming, they were the last of their friend group to get there. When they walked in, the fangirls squealed about how pretty they all looked. Then Lexi saw something that deeply amused her. “Guys, Adam ended up going with Karen!” she giggled. Everyone in their group began to laugh to see Karen on Adam’s arm, who was looking both disgruntled and irritated about it. The song that was playing when Thaddeus and Lexi got there ended, and a swing dance song started up. All of the kids gave a great cheer and started dancing to it. Thaddeus turned to Lexi, holding out his hand to her and smiling. “May I have this dance, Fangirl?” Lexi grinned and took his hand. “Please,” she said, sounding rather pleased herself. And flirty. Unlike when she had flirted with the King of Auradon all those years ago, this was on purpose. Thaddeus took Lexi out to the middle of the dance floor and led her in a swing dance. Lexi had completely forgotten how...

A Cute Little Moment: Chapter XII: The Little Moments Storyline:):):):):)

  The “Little Moments” Storyline 😊 (Eight months after Lexi and Thaddeus were married😊) I woke up with a smile on my face that morning of October 21 st . Not just because it was my birthday, but it was my first birthday as a married man. Even though Lexi was six months pregnant with our daughter, she still woke up before I did for work just to make pancakes dressed in whipped cream and raspberries. I could smell it when I woke up and the next thing I knew, she was walking into our room with a plate in her hands. “Lexi, you didn’t have to do this,” I had told her, pushing my glasses onto my face as Lexi had placed the plate in my hands. I knew she had to be exhausted. “What are you talking about?” she’d replied, one hand supporting her belly as she’d used her other hand to make a gesture like she was actually brushing my comment aside. “Happy birthday, honey!” she had smiled, carefully bending her knees so she could kiss me on the cheek. I’d blushed and I had wondered if I w...

A Cute Little Moment: Chapter VIII: The Love is an Open Door scene :):):):):):)

  The “Love is an Open Door” scene ☹😊 I jump at the sound of the doorbell. I’ve been sitting on pins and needles for thirty minutes after I got ready, waiting for Adam to come and pick me up for the homecoming dance. I was wearing a deep sapphire blue dress, one of the school colors. Adam would be wearing a red tie, our other school color. All of the rest of my friends are just going solo, even Thaddeus, which confused me. I thought that there might have been someone in the school who he liked because he’s kind of been acting all weird lately and I asked him on Monday if he had a date to the dance, to which he replied, “No. I don’t have anyone here that I really want to take.” So, that was that. Maybe he was just too nervous to ask her. I was still lost in thought for fifteen more seconds until the sound of the doorbell snapped me out of my reverie. “Oh! He’s here,” I say, feeling flustered as I dash to the front door to answer it. “Hello!” I greet Adam as I beam at him. He ...
