*Emma sits in bed with the camera on her*

 Emma:
*Waves* You alright? Yeah, I thought I'd talk to you, because, like, I never do and I guess now is... um... the time to talk. 

*Nods*

Emma:
And so I thought, why not the internet? Everyone's online these days.

*Pauses and nods*

Emma:
Dear God, heh, sounds bad. Dear Lord... God... Christ... Almighty... Jesus... You've got a lot of names. Althrough, I think if I was you, I'd be called 'Almighty.' Yeah, it sounds pretty epic.

 *Scratches her cheek*

Emma:
And know, my mum used to take me and sister to Sunday School every Sunday.  *Nods* I quite liked it, great stories. There was one story about Jonah... Anyway, he got stuck in a whale. Ingenius. Yeah, because you sent him somewhere to go do something, but he went in the other direction. But, you sent him to Jerusalem, but he went to Nappa. So, on his way there, you created this big f**k off storm to stop him. And then you flood him into the city. Then, this mad-man whale pops up and eats Jonah whole.

*Pause*

Emma:
But... three whole days he spent there, Jonah. Just kicking back in the whale's belly. No food, no drink, just praying. Just kept praying that you would let him out. And, you did. You got the whale to spit him back out again, because you... because you forgive people. Jonah...

*Pause*

Emma:
Anyways, you had me in that whale's belly for three whole minutes. And then you spat me right back out again. So, um... thanks mate, for sparing me!

*She gives a thumb up*

Emma:
Then again, they say, "the good die young." I suppose that makes perfect sense then.

*Points to herself with a sheepish smile*

*Holds up a sketch of his work to the camera*

Shawn:
This, mother f*****s, is what I'm going to be drawing for my final art festival.

*Lowers the sketch*

Shawn:
Pretty wicked, huh? I got the idea from Piscasso, here.

*Holds up an art book with the picture of Guernica in view*

Shawn:
Impressive, yeah? Always loved this painting. I always wanted to imitate it. So, now...

*Lowers the book*

 Shawn:
I am going to start right now!

*He salutes the camera and turns to the huge sheet of  blank paper spread out all over the floor. He gets right to work with the black paint, black ink, pencils, pens, scissors, and his craving knife*

*Two Hours Later*

*Shawn looks up, panting*

 Shawn:
As you can see, this will take me a while.

*Turns the camera down to a black and white partly-finished painting*

*Turns the camera back to himself and grins*

Shawn:
Stick around for the end product, suckers!

Mood:  happy

*Sits in her kitchen, smiling*

 Peaches:
Good news, everyone! I'm getting married!

*Holds up her engagement ring*

Peaches:
Jin-kun finally took a hint!

*Draws back her hand*

Peaches:
It wasn't easy, I'll tell you that. I know what you are thinking: how did this happen? Well, I'll tell you.

*Giggles*

Peaches:
The story starts with his frustration of his darling little sister, Arisu-chan. Jin-kun just won't stop talking about her. To be honest, it's gotten so annoying as of late.

*Frowns*

Peaches:
I was so ready to write him off at this point. My friends even suggested that I do. But yet, the heart is a stubborn thing at things. Doesn't know when to give up. Mine didn't give up on Jin-kun either. "You're destined to be together!" it screamed.

*Sighs*

Peaches:
So annoying, I know. Anyway, Jin-kun was going on and on about the latest drama with Arisu-chan. Apparently, her boyfriend, Sid, was cheating on her with their little hippie in their little group. My baby kept ranting on and on about how he wanted to give Sid hell for sending Arisu down into another spiral. Annoyed by this, he only talks about his sister and his mother anyway, I blurted out, "Why didn't he ever pay any attention to me like that?!?" He looked at me with such shock. I don't think he even knew what to say at first. "What do you want?" he asked. Without thinking, I dropped the bomb in saying that I wanted to get married. I just kept stunning the man at this point.

*Tucks her hair behind her right ear*

 Peaches:
Long story short, he porposed and I said yes.  So now, we're getting married.

*Grins, but then frowns*

Peaches:
Sadly, he still goes on about Arisu. I have to work on her there.

*Bites her lower lip in discomfort and shifts her eyes*

Peaches:
He worries too much about her.

*Waves at the camera* 

Casper:
Hi, I'm Casper. I don't usually go to these sites, but... well I'm a bit nervous. I guess, everyone who does this is. So... Here goes.

*Straightens up a bit*

 Casper:
*Clears her throat* If you're seeking true love with a talented, charming, classy, funny, beautiful woman, then here's your chance. I've had enough of red wine, hangovers, and listening to "Cut Your Wrists" FM. So, I've decided that the time has come for my mum, Lynn...

*Holds up Lynn's picture*

 Casper:
To be brought back onto the dating scene.

 *Puts down the picture*

 Casper:
Never again do I want to be in the company of Perry the Perv, Toe-Sucking Toshio, or Hair line-receeding Honda. There is to be no ironing of wire-friends, awful Frankie Goes to Hollywood record collections, hairy bums, ogling of schoolgirls, commenting on breasts, weird known fetishs, PSbellems, skin tight green jeans, body ordor issues, ogling of schoolgirls, dodgy sideburns, porn addictions, crossdressers, ogling of schoolgirls.

 *Fixes her bangs*

Casper: 
Now, men under forty need not apply. Neither do men who are short, men with bad shoes, cheating Casanovas, commitaphobes, men who are called Choi-- that includes you, Choi, uh... men who don't wash. Yeah, still talking about you, Choi. Men who leave the tiolet seat up and men who pick their nose and wipe it on the wall next to the bed. Yuck!

 *Shudders*

Casper:
Look, whoever you are, you'll be lucky to be with a woman as great as Lynn. Yeah, she's got a ridiculous Monkees collection, but she's laid back, easy-going, and a really great person to be around.

Lynn:
*Off-camera* CASPER, YOU LEFT YOUR COAT ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR! WHY DO HAVE TO DO THE WASHING UP? AND WHY ARE THERE GLOWING JUICE ALL OVER THE COUNTER?!?

*Casper is startled at first. Then, she looks confused and gets annoyed*

Casper:
For f**k's sake, Lynn!

*Gets off of her bed and goes to the bathroom where Lynn is*

Lynn:
AND WHAT'S USED CONDOM DOING IN THE TIOLET?!?

Mood:  don't ask

*Ando sits on his bed, frowning*

Ando:
Kat's getting married, again. *Sighs* Yep. Latest man? Mori Alfie.

*Leans back on his pillow*

Ando:
Though, this won't be so bad potentially. He has been good to her.

*Leans into the camera*

Ando:
The story goes down like this. They went out to a movie. Some romantic film that I'm familiar with. It's strange because she doesn't like those type of movies. Kat's more of a slapstick comedy girl. I think he's working on her well.

*Pause*

Ando:
Afterwards, they came outside. Alfie turned to her and asked her to marry him. She said no at first. But, he wouldn't give up easily.

*Shifts a bit on his bed*

Ando:
Two more times. Two more times. One more at the coffee shop and one more outside of the house. She said no at the coffee shop. With the third time being a charm, Alfie porposed to Kat once more just outside of the house. She finally broke down and said "yes."

*Pause*

Ando:
It's not her that I'm worried about. I am worried for him. Kat is... well... Kat. She can't really commit to anyone without drama or crap. I wonder if they will even last together.

*Frowns and shakes his head*

*Lowers his head and says a quick prayer*

*He lifts his head*

Ando:
Alfie, good luck there, buddy. That's all I'm going to say.

*Reaches forward and turns off the camera*

Shuichi:
I have a great idea today!

*Leans in closer to the camera*

Shuichi:
I'm going to try and marry Yuki.

*Backs up*

Shuichi:
I know, I know. We can't legally marry here in Japan... yet. And Yuki will definitely say no. But, I won't give up! Why?

*Grins*

Shuichi:
It's true that I love Yuki, but there's another reason I'm doing this.

*Leans in close to the camera again*

Shuichi:
Cassie and I made a pact. That's right. She and I have decided to purpose to our lovers. Sure, we know it's impossible. But with love, we do it!

*Sits back, smiling*

Shuichi:
Wish us luck!

*Salute and shuts off the camera*

I have a little plan today! I am going to purpose to Nick.

Cassie:
I know it's crazy. But, I love him so much. I want to be his wife. I think I have him warming up to me now.

*Twirls her hair*

Cassie:
What if he doesn't want to get married? Well then, I'll keep pushing him until he says "yes." Why? I just love him that much! I know I shouldn't, but I do! I love him! I love him! I love him!!!

*Squeals in delight*

Cassie:
I will not fail! Wish me luck!

Mood:  not sure

*In his room*

Simon:
I'm not as confusion as I was after the accident. I can do most things by myself. I can tie my own shoes now. I'm doing better in school again. I can even speak Japanese fluently again. I have most of my memories back.

*Pause*

Simon:
I still get a little confused at times. Some of my memories still haven't returned yet. Darcy leaves notes around the house to help me out. I'm still trying.

*Scratches his head*

Simon:
Things are good with my friends. Casper and I are still distant. I still can't get it up. I want to show her that I love her, but I don't know how. She doesn't seem to know either. I just wish I knew what I was doing.

*Drops his head in his hands*

Simon:
I guess I still have a long way to go.

Arisu:
Hello Sid! Mom and I are back in Mangolia.  Jin's idea, really. I just wanted to spend summer with you. Sadly, not to be. Not to be.

*Sighs and smiles*

Arisu:
Anyway, not much is going this year. Most of the kids grew up and moved away. That strange man doesn't show up anymore. But, I did see a couple of friends around.

 *Grins*

Arisu:
You remember Buqa and Gal, right? They stopped by and gave us plenty of sweets! Isn't that lovely?

*Pushes some hair from her eyes*

Arisu:
I really wish that you can and see this with me. You would like the scenery here. Mama doesn't drink as much as she does in Japan. In fact, she seems pretty happy here and has a couple of friends. It's kind of weird to me. Maybe Jin was right to send her here. As for me? I'm doing good. Other than not being able to see you, it's all good here. I'll be back to finish my classes to graduate. Jin doesn't want that, but Peaches talked him into it.

Arisu:
This is how many days I missed you.

Oh, this is bad. Really bad.

Kat:
I already failed with Ando. I can't really take another child. But what if Alfie wants kids? No, no, no! This is bad, really, really bad!

*Tries to calm down*

Kat:
But, I haven't even taken the test yet. I know, I'll just take the test and see. If it's negative, then I'll be fine. But if it's positive...

*Drops her head again*

Kat:
Oh, I don't want to think about that at all!

*Calms down and lifts her head again*

Kat:
I'm just going to take the damn test.
