Hi guys!

Welcome to the Jack, Brielle and Andy tea party! All types of refreshments are available, make yourselves at home :-)

extreme out-of -character-ness is displayed in the following. Just a bit of fun since I figured the story's been a bit too serious lately.

* : Everyone, Andy is here!

: Hi guys!

: About time. We have a lot of questions for you.

: Um okay. Can we talk over tea?

: Sure. But take it from me, its a lot easier to run on an empty stomach.

: What do you---?

: Why do you write my character this way? Its really annoying. Unpleasant stuff just keeps happening to me, can't I have a bit of peace for once?

: Well, um, you know, I kind of have a plot and a story I need to stick to. Sorry for the trouble. A lot of readers love your character. They've told me themselves. They say your bravery and strength inspires them.

: Really?

: Yes!

: Well I am kind of awesome. What do they think of Jack?

: You certainly are. Jack's got a lot of fans too. Whenever you're in trouble, (because of me) everyone is always cheering him on.

: Well he is quite adorable sometimes.

**: Speaking of Jack where is he?

: He's run off, hasn't he? Well we'll just have to eat the chocolate cake ourselves.

: There's cake? Where?

: It should be under this---its gone!

: Look! Its Jack with chocolate all over his face. He ate the whole cake!

: How dare you! Come down and share it with us.

: Can't. Its all over.

: I hate you.

: You ate it all? I think I hate you too.

: Andy, why don't you and I get together and write a plot making his life miserable instead of mine?

: Sure.

: Hey wait! I'm sorry!

we could get him to fall into a shark tank...or get chased by an angry racoon...or ...maybe have him marry Zachary...or...

: I said I'm sorry! Oh come on!

A/N : What would you do at such a tea party? Especially if someone ate the entire cake?
