(Just so you aren’t COMPLETELY confused, read Danielle’s baby challenge here: http://danielle100babies.blogspot.com/ Or here's a quick summary: Danielle's engaged and Ariel went to her engagement party and got drunk. That's about it.)

“Ughh, why are you here so early?” I open my door, seeing Aria, Logan, Brandon, and some girl I remember seeing at Danielle’s engagement party last night, but never really was introduced to her. “Hey,” I nodded to her. “You’re Mila, right? Aria’s step-sister?”
“Yeah.” She laughed. “I’m surprised you remember anything from last night, you look pretty hung-over.”
“I am.” I rubbed my eyes, hoping for my headache to go away. It didn’t.
“We figured, that’s why we came over!” Aria sang, and waltzed into my house. “We thought we’d take care of the kids for you. Where are the little buggers?”
“Is that really why all of you came over here?” I asked, unconvinced.
“Well, that’s the reason why I came over here.” Aria responded. “Mila wanted to introduce herself, Logan wanted to be a challenge father, and Brandon’s your boyfriend, so I think that’s self-explanatory.”
“Uhm, so, Logan, you really wanted to be a challenge father?” I smiled shyly, giggling at the thoughts of Logan and I’s children. We’re so different, I wondered how these children would be.
“Uh, yeah, if you don’t mind.” He acted so casual about it. Well, being a challenge father, I guess he would get used to asking people.
“Yeah, sure.” I looked down at the ground. “So, uh, let’s just go and do that real quick…”
Logan and I went upstairs, and when all was said and done, I walked back down to see Aria and Brandon playing with Kenny and Joy.
“Where’s Mila?” I asked once I looked around and noticed she was missing.
“She had somewhere to be, but she wanted to know if you’d be willing to meet her at the karaoke bar tonight?” Aria told me while she was playing with Joy, laughing.
“Uh, yeah, but no alcohol, of course.” I giggled.
I picked up Kenny and he hugged me and said his first words. “Mama!!” He giggled.
“Hey, baby!” I smiled at him, and was reminded of why I was doing this challenge.
When Aria and Brandon finally left, it was near time for me to meet Mila at the karaoke bar. I quickly got dressed and headed out. When I finally arrived, I was a tad late. “Shit.” I mumbled to myself and quickly got out of the car and headed into the bar. When I got in there, I saw Mila sitting at the bar, sipping a colorful drink. “Hey!” I yelled towards her. “Sorry I’m late…” I took a seat next to her.
“It’s okay!” She smiled and ordered me a non-alcoholic drink. I picked it up and sipped it lightly. “So, tell me about yourself.” She asked. We chatted lightly for a while, laughing at karaoke-goers and listening to music.
After a bit, I felt a tap on my shoulder to see a slightly familiar face smiling at me.

[Age 15]
I look around the room, seeing the coffin, with Ashley’s body inside. I saw Aperille, Brandon, and Gene crying. The preacher talked about how great of a person Ashley was, and how this tragic accident tore our community apart.
‘It wasn’t an accident,’ I thought to myself. ‘She was bullied to her death and no one cares!’ I started to cry harder than I was before. ‘Why’d she leave us? She could have stayed, we could have helped her…’
---------------------------------------------------------------
A man with blue hair and blue eyes stood over me, smiling. “Oh, hey …” I thought for a moment for his name. “Larn, right?” I remembered Larn, but only barely. He was a challenge father, the father of June and Lily.
“Yep!” He smiled enthusiastically. “How’re you, Ariel?”
“Uh, good, I guess, what have you been doing?” I ask, trying to make conversation, but not really wanting to talk to him.
“Good!” He beams. “Hey, uh, would you dance with me?” He asks, nervously.
“Uh…” I look at Mila, who was laughing her ass off. “Sure..?” I heard Paramore’s ‘Now’ come on, and he took my hand and started slow dancing with me.
After a minute, I started getting uncomfortable. ‘Should I tell him about Brandon?’ I asked myself.
Larn leaned close to me and sang part of the chorus into my ear. “There’s a time and a place to die, but this ain’t it…”
It all came to me in a flash. A funeral. Danielle, Aria, and Aperille crying. A preacher. I was sobbing, I didn’t understand what was going on.
I immediately came back to reality after a second, still not quite sure what was going on. “I-I’m sorry, I have to go…” I jerked away, got my stuff, and ran out.
I drove away, and in a couple minutes, pulled up to my house, where Brandon had been babysitting.
“Hey, Ariel, you’re ho-” Brandon started to say before I interrupted him by hugging him, and sobbing into his chest. “Hey, Ariel, what’s wrong?” He hugged me, trying to make me feel better.
“I don’t know, I just…” I sobbed even harder. I had no idea what had happened and I was scared and worried.
“It’s okay, Ariel.” His words calmed me. “It’ll be alright.” Brandon and I went upstairs, where I fell asleep in his arms.
------------------------------------------------
I woke up and Brandon was sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling at me. “Hey, Ariel! Danielle called, she wanted to know if you wanted to meet at the park, there’s some people she wants you to meet.”
“Alright, do you know who they are?” I got up and rubbed my eyes.
“Uhm,” He made a squinting face, trying to remember. “Payton Bear… and… Becks Best, I think? Kimari and Willow will be there, too.”
“Alright, let me get dressed.” I groaned and got out of bed, feeling a bit nauseous from the morning sickness. I got dressed, checked on the children, and headed to the park. When I got there, I saw Kimari, Danielle, a redhead and a purple-haired girl who I guessed were Payton and Becks.
“Hey!” The red-head waved enthusiastically. “You’re Ariel, right? I’m Payton Bear, nice to meet you!!” She beamed.
“Hey, I’m Becks. Nice to meet you.” The purple-haired girl smiled.
We talked for hours, about our challenges, our love lives, our kids, everything.
After a while, I went home, and a while later, I gave birth to four adorable children, Bridget, Kirk, Angel, and Evie.
