August 20th, 2005.
Chris sat in his cell waiting to hear if he was going to be released. His roommate, A black tattooed guy named Carl, was going to be released too if he didn't have to wait until December. Chris held up his favorite picture of Terri, it was from a Bop Photo Shoot. She had dyed her long hair fire-engine red and put zooloo knots on top of her head. She had on a Geisha Girl Shirt, Black Capri pants, Black 5 in. Platforms, and had a tattoo necklace on. All the guards thought his obsession with this girl had died down. Chris smirked b/c he knew the guards didn't know what his plans were for this lovely lady. He kissed the picture and put it on top of his pillow as he patiently waited for the guard to come back with the news.

At Erik and Terri's House
----
Mana rang the doorbell as she adjusted her black cargo pants and her garbage T-shirt. Her hair was now to her waist as well. It was red with black streaks in it. She waited impatiently as Erik got up to answer the door. He opened and shut it fast and locked it. Terri shook her head as she unlocked the door to let her friend in.
The twins ran to Mana and almost knocked her down wit hugs and hellos. Laughing started as the doorbell rang again. This time it was Mandy, Britney, Lori and JC, Christina and Nick, Lance and Peggy, Justin and Tiff, Cara, Patrick, and Eric. Justin and Tiff had had a baby boy ( Aaron ) 2 yrs. ago and Now were expecting a girl they hoped. Tiff was 6 months along. Lori had twins, a boy and girl ( Josh and Amy Jo ). She too was pregnant again. JC and her hoped that it wasn't gonna be two more bundles of joy. She was 7 months along.
Finally, Peggy and Lance. Yes they have kids too. Two boys Nick and Alex, ages 1 and 3. She had gotten pregnant again too. She was 8 months along and they learned it was two girls. It was gonna be a handful. As far as everyone knew , Terri wasn't pregnant again ( or will she be? ).

At the Jail
----
Chris was about ready to jump for joy. He just found out that he was being released in 4 hours. His buddy Carl, however, had to wait until December unless the board changed their minds. He hurriedly packed his things at the inmates talked excitedly amongst themselves. Chris had his dreads cut off and let his little goatee-beard ( whatever ) on. He grinned evilly and laughed like crazy in his head as he pictured his plan once again.
4 hours later
Chris walked out of the jail and into the awaiting taxicab that had been called for him. No reporters were outside yet because the news hadn't been leaked to the media yet. Before the day was over, the whole word would know that Chris Kirkpatrick was out of Jail. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the threat expect you-know-who and who.
6pm.
Chris had gotten a fake id from his buddy John (friend of Carl) and was heading out to a gun store to purchase a deadly one. He put on his sunglasses and his fu man skeeto winter hat. After a change of clothes at a nearby café, he walked across the street to "GuN PalacE." He carefully chose a semi-automatic .38 (dunno which is the fatal gun so bear with me please) and handed the man $700.00 for the gun and 5 cases of bullets.
Surprisingly, the guard didn't recognize him or get suspicious. Chris walked out of the store, happy as a lark. First, he had to find out where von Detten and Mana lived. Then he would have to call Mana, and try to recruit her for his partner, hoping that she still totally loathed the guy.
He found a phone booth and flipped through the address book. He found Erik's address and ripped out the page and set it aside. He looked under Tyler and found Mana's address and ripped that page out too. Folding the papers and stuffing them into his pocket Chris dialed Mana (Amanda)'s number and waited as it rang 5 times before the answering machine came on. He slammed the phone down in frustration and dialed Terri's #.
At the house
Desiree heard the phone and ran over to answer it. Katelyn ran beside her sister and helped her reach the phone.
Desiree Hello? This is Desiree-Alexandra Marie. Who are you?
Chris (laughs) Hello there. I'm a friend of your Aunt Amanda. Can I talk to her please?
Desiree (jumps off the stool and gets her aunt) AUNTIE AMANDA SOMEONE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Mana- (rolls her eyes and picks up the phone) Hello? (Drops the phone when she hears Chris but picks it up quickly) What do you want? The twins run off to play as the conversation continues.
Chris What I've wanted for 4 yrs.
Mana Why did you call here?
Chris I was wondering if you could help me with my plan to get my girl back. It's very simple and fairly legal of course.
Mana (calmly but angrily) She is not your girl. And furthermore, I'm not going to help you take her away from her family.
Chris I thought you couldn't stand that Erik guy.
Mana I still can't. But I'm learning to get along with him better. I-I-I- I can't and won't help you Chris. She's finally happy so deal with it. Never call here again.
Chris Oh don't worry. I'm coming over to your house to see you. Maybe I can change your mind huh?
Mana No you're not. Just stay the hell away from me !!!!!. If you come within 10 feet of my property, I'm calling the cops.
Chris Now now. Aren't we a little upset here? All I wanna do is take back the girl I love.
Mana You can't fool me with your innocent act. I know what you are capable of you psycho asshole.
Chris You're breaking my heart. I'll stop by at 8:30pm tomorrow and you had better be there or I'm gonna come looking for you. Goodbye for now. (Hangs up)
Mana Oh God. (Hangs up and covers her face with her hands).
She breaths fast and short as Mandy comes over to see what's wrong.
Mandy Are you O.K.?
Mana No.
Mandy What happened? Who called you?
Mana Some jerk I used to know. He was my first boyfriend (Louis?) and I told him to stay away from me. He just got me upset that's all. I'll be fine don't worry.
Mandy- Are you sure?
Mana (nods) Yeah.
Mandy Come on let's go back into the livingroom (the phone is in the kitchen). I'll explain to everyone okay?
Mana Thanx Mandy.
Mandy No problem.
As she sat down and Mandy explained to everyone, Mana started thinking. She didn't like lying to her friends, but she didn't want Terri to know about Chris calling her. The poor girl was still upset at what he did and said 4 yrs. Ago. Erik would also go postal and she didn't want them worrying about her. The news would have it at 11pm and Noon tomorrow plus 6pm that night and 7pm the next day. The thing that worried her most was that Chris knew was all 3 of them lived. There was no telling when he would come by to try and take Terri. She was also worried that he could take her daughters or Erik.
11pm
Erik took his sleeping daughters to bed as Terri cleaned up their toys. The news was on but she hadn't paid much attention to it. She yawned as she took the toys upstairs into the twins' room. Erik helped her out as everything was put back in its place. Goodnight kisses were exchanged as their Pooh nightlight was turned on and the adults left the room. Erik hugged his wife and carried her downstairs. Earlier while they were upstairs:
News Broadcaster This is Lisa Bradley and Later on 2night's news; Chris Kirkpatrick is released from jail and has appeared to have gotten over his obsession with Terri-Lynn AKA Heat from the Pop band ICE. More later tonight. Right after these few messages, the weather.
Erik laid Terri down on the couch as news came back on came on the screen. He yawned once more as he covered him and Terri up as the broadcast ended. Seconds, before the Chris story came on, both fell fast asleep on the couch, the TV still on. 10 am the next day
A car horn woke up the sleeping beauties as it passed by the house. The phone rang then, and Erik groggily answered it after the 2nd ring. All he heard was deep breathing and was very confused. He hung the phone and it rang immediately after. He pressed the speakerphone button and said "Hello?" as Terri came into the 'waking world.' As Chris' voice came over the intercom, both were shocked and scared. All he said was "We shall meet again my friends. Then one of your lives will come to an end. If they don't, it will be a shame. Oh by the way my darling girl, remember I still want you back."
After hanging up, Erik + Terri got up and hugged each other and hurried to get the girls ready for preschool. They were already 30 min. late. Desiree was reluctant to get up, but Katelyn dragged her out of bed with her mommy's help. Erik helped Desiree get ready as Terri helped Katelyn get ready. Desiree wore her Mandy Moore T-shirt and her blue jean shorts with her Mickey Mouse hairties and shoes. She also insisted on wearing her Minnie Mouse socks. Katelyn wore her I dream of Jeanie sneakers, her purple shorts, her Tigger socks, monkey hairclips, and her Britney Spears shirt.
Backpacks (Katelyn- Scooby Doo, Desiree Gilligan's Island) were grabbed, hair was fixed, adults got dressed, breakfast was eaten, and they were all out the door in 20 min.
Meanwhile, Chris watched them from behind a tree in their yard. He fumed with anger and rage as he saw 'his girl' with that 'fag' Erik von Detten. When he had visited Mana's house, he managed to get in with a mask on. After he took it off, she screamed and ran for the phone when he pulled out his gun and she stopped and reluctantly listened to what he was talking about.
She still refused to help him. Her exact words were: " As much as I hate/still hate Erik von Detten, I don't wanna spoil my friends happiness. Just get out of here Chris. I'm not going to help you. Deal with it. If you get outta here now, I won't call the cops when you're gone." Chris but not before punching Mana in the eye and cussing at her. She spat at him as he left and slammed the door. She ran out and cursed at him some more as he drove away. All the neighbors sent a policeman over to check things out but Mana managed to convince him that everything was fine and that it was just her 2nd ex-boyfriend leaving.
