President. has a new PM. "UGH. NEED. Diet. Coke."

Space Case Mace has logged on.
Space Case Mace has a new PM. "Today did not just happen. D:"

Space Case Mace says:
Hey, Nick! (:

President. says:
Uh, hi?

Space Case Mace says:
Can I just say again how SUPREMELY sorry I am?
Because I am.
Supremely sorry.

President. Says:
Oh, Macy. Right. It's okay. I'm used to it by now.

Space Case Mace says:
Did you not know it was me?

President. Says:
Should I have?

Space Case Mace says:
I thought you did...
Didn't Kevin give you my screenname? .
I'll bet he forgot.
He does that.

President. Says:
Yeah. That's Kevin for you.

Space Case Mace says:
Well...
Are you sure you're okay?

President. Says:
Yeah.

Space Case Mace says:
Your foot isn't hurting at all?

President. Says:
No. I'll be fine.

Space Case Mace says:
(: Good.
Um...
JESUS CHRIST, why is it so difficult to talk to you?!

President. Says:
Cause you're not actually talking to me? ;)

Space Case Mace
Oh, God. Did I actually just say that?
I'm sorry.
D:

President. Says:
Relax Macy. I know I'm not the easiest person to communicate with.

Space Case Mace says:
Yeah, but...
Ugh.
So, um.
I overheard you telling Joe that you're nearly finished with a new song.
Wanna tell me about it?

President. Says:
S'just a song...
About...
Y'know...
Love... :S

Space Case Mace says:
Oh.
Cool.

President. Says:
No. Not really.
I'd love to able to write something that has nothing to do with love.
Like...
Superstition.

Space Case Mace says:
(: I loooooove that song.

President. Says:
Yeah. Me too.

Space Case Mace says:
Not as much as, say...
Fly With Me.
:D
But I like it.

President. Says:
Ah. Well cool then.

Space Case Mace says:
xD

President.
I'm glad you like our songs.

Space Case Mace
I'm freaking you out, aren't I?

President. Says:
No. Not at all.

Space Case Mace says:
Are you sure?
You don't find it a little creepy?

President. Says:
What?

Space Case Mace says:
That I can probably quote your songs better than you can, I know your middle name, your birthday, and that you trim your nose-hair because you hate it when you see Kevin's and Joe's?

President. Says:
Okay, the first three things don't bother my in the slightest. The nose hair thing, however...
How did you even know that?

Space Case Mace says:
Honestly, I don't remember.
Now, back to YOUR song.
Be happy that you can write a song.
I couldn't write one about cheese.
I mean, I can TRY.
But I won't succeed.

President. Says:
A song about cheese?
Have you been hanging around with Kevin?

Space Case Mace says:
...maybe?
Look, I've got my little brother breathing down my neck to get on the computer, so we'll have to continue this count-your-blessings discussion later.
If you want to, that is.
You don't have to.
I mean, it would be nice.
But, yeah.
You don't have to.

President. Says:
Seven PM tomorrow then?

Space Case Mace says:
(: Sounds like a plan, Mr. President.

President. Says:
C'est moi.
Later Macy.

Space Case Mace says:
Bye, Nick. (:

Space Case Mace has logged off.

President. has logged off.

-

Space Case Mace has logged on.
Space Case Mace has a new picture. "Me and Nick making the 'srs face.' xD"

President. has logged on.
President. has a new PM. "Anyone seen my inspiration?"

Space Case Mace says:
So, how's the song coming? (:

President. says:
It's an epic failure.
But thanks for asking.

Space Case Mace says:
Aw, what happened?
Can I help at all?

President. says:
I've got writer's block that's even more annoying than Joe on Monday mornings.
And harder to move.
I don't think so Macy.
Unless you've got "Inspiration Dust" or something.

Space Case Mace says:
Well... I used to be in a creative writing class. What are you stuck on, lyrics or music?

President. says:
Both.
I don't understand. I was fine yesterday and then today...
Poof.
Inspiration gone.
Just like that.
(And so it all my Diet Coke.)

Space Case Mace says:
Maybe it's the lack of Diet Coke? :3

President. says:
I thought that too. But I should be able to write with or without Nutrasweet.
Otherwise I'm just a fraud.

Space Case Mace says:
True, true.
Well... what happened between yesterday and today?
Maybe you did something that set you off.

President. says:
No. My days are pretty monotonous. Get up. Go to school. Write a song. (Or two) Fall in Love. Do an interview (Or ten) Fall out of Love. Get mocked by my brothers for it. Record. Do my homework. Fix the recording. Eat dinner. Study. Take a shower. Go to bed.
Nothing was different about yesterday, except for the fact that I was on MSN for the first time in ages.

Space Case Mace says:
Um.
Nick.
You talked to me yesterday.

President. says:
Well done Macy. You're a genius.
Sorry. That was meant to be a joke.
A sarcastic joke.
But a joke.

Space Case Mace says:
I was going to ask if that was sarcasm. xD
Just because I hang out with Kevin doesn't mean that I don't appreciate sarcasm, Nick.

President. says:
Meh. It's okay. I was never considered "the funny one". The "sarcastic one" however...

Space Case Mace says:
I thought you were the "serious one."
:3
But!
Back to your dilemma.
Do you think talking to me put you off balance or something?

President. says:
"Serious one" is my overall title. But I have many.
You should know that.
You have a whole page dedicated to our nicknames on your website.
Why would you have put me "off balance" Macy?

Space Case Mace says:
I dunno.I'm the only different part in your schedule.
O: Maybe me hurting your foot affected your brain or something.
Oh, wow.
What a Joe thing to say.
I'm ashamed.

President. says:
At least you don't have to live with him.
Although... You'd probably love that.
:)

Space Case Mace says:
Not really. He's been INCREDIBLY annoying as of late.
He's always teasing me about stuff.
):

President. says:
Stella related?

Space Case Mace says:
No, actually.
He's more observant than we gave him credit for.
And he's using it against me.

President. says:
What's he saying to you Macy?

Space Case Mace says:
He's just being annoying.
It doesn't really matter.
Back to your song.

President. says:
Do you want me to talk to him? I don't care if you are our biggest fan. I'm not going to let him bully you. Even if it's just for fun. Teasing is never nice. If you want it to stop just say it to me and I'll talk to him.

Space Case Mace says:
Nick, it's really nothing.
No big deal.
Promise.
(:

President. says:
You don't have to put up with him just cause he's in JONAS y'know. If he gets on your nerves just mock his hair. That usually does the trick.

Space Case Mace says:
Trust me, I've tried
But he just threatens to tell... certain people about... certain things.
And I'd rather he didn't.

President. says:
Do you want to elaborate on that?

Space Case Mace says:
Not really, no.
It's embarrassing.
And personal.

President. says:
Okay then.

Space Case Mace says:
It's all Stella's fault anyway.

President. says:
Usually is either Joe or Stella's fault.
Kevin's on occasion.
But not usually.

Space Case Mace says:
I could never blame Kevin for anything.
Which is why it's ALWAYS Joe or Stella's fault.

President. says:
It's always Joe's fault.
Always.
(He scares me less than Stella does.)
In fact, Joe doesn't scare me. At all.
It's his own fault.

Space Case Mace says:
(:
So, about your song...
What was it about, anyway?
I mean, specifically?

President. says:
A girl.

Space Case Mace says:
Which girl, Nick?
For Mike's sake, you can be difficult.

President. says:
Who is this Mike anyway?
I say "For the Love of Mike" and I have no clue who he is.

Space Case Mace says:
I'm guessing he's a politically correct version of Jesus Christ.
Now quit trying to change the subject.
Who is she?

President. says:
Don't laugh?
Okay?

Space Case Mace says:
Why would I laugh?

President. says:
-sigh-
I don't know who she is.

Space Case Mace says:
Um.
What?

President. says:
I. DON'T. KNOW. WHO. SHE. IS.

Space Case Mace says:
NO
I mean...
How can you NOT KNOW who she is?

President. says:
This is going to sound REALLY cliché.
And THIS is why you're going to laugh.
I only heard her.

Space Case Mace says:
You heard her.
Singing?

President. says:
No.

Space Case Mace says:
Then... what?
Oh.
Lemme guess: she was playing an instrument.

President. says:
She was playing the Piano in the Music room the day before yesterday. I only saw the back of her head. Her hair was a little like yours. And when I went to go in to compliment her on her playing JOE dragged me away.
TO COMPLAIN ABOUT STELLA!
So I have no idea who she is.
But her playing was amazing.

Space Case Mace says:
So... you're trying to write a song about a girl you've never even met?

President. says:
Yeah. Exactly.

Space Case Mace says:
And how is that working out for you?

President. says:
*eyebrow arch*
Isn't my failure the reason we're having this coversation?

Space Case Mace says:
No!
I mean...
Nevermind.
What was she playing?

President. says:
It was like a mash up of Halo and Amaranth.
Beautiful.

Space Case Mace says:
Really?
That's a... unique combination.

President. says:
Most definitely.

Space Case Mace says:
So, how exactly did you start?
I mean, what could you write about a girl you've never met?

President. says:
Well, I didn't want to get all Camp Rock so I started with a Piano intro a little like what she was playing and the words "You're a mystery to me."
And it all went downhill from there.

Space Case Mace says:
That's it?
You're a mystery to me?

President. says:
Well... I had more but I woke up this morning, reread it and abhored it. All of it.
So yeah.
That's all I've got.

Space Case Mace says
Hmmm...
You're a mystery to me
And yet you're all that I can see

President. says:
When I close my eyes you're in my dreams.
But reality is never as it seems.
Just show me please.
You're my mystery.

Space Case Mace says:
I want to know
Who you really are
Could it be
Shite.
We're back to Camp Rock.
Why did you three agree to do that movie, anyway?
Not that I don't like Sonny Munroe.
But she was annoying.

President. says:
I never agreed to anything.
Joe did.
I just had to go along with it "because we're JONAS and that makes us a package deal."
Sonny's lovely. A little high strung. But she has a heart of gold.
According to Joe.

Space Case Mace says:
You worked with her too, didn't you?
Hey!
I want to know
Who you really are
I've been searching
Near and far
(:

President. says:
Is it real?
Are you my shining star?
Or is it all in my mind?
Can my imagination break my heart?

Space Case Mace says:
Wow, this is hitting a little close to home.

President. says:
Why Macy?

Space Case Mace says:
I just...
Okay, you cannot repeat this to anybody.
And I mean ANYBODY.

President. says:
I'm not Joe. I won't hold this against you.
I promise.

Space Case Mace says:
Well, you know how I'm not supposed to have a favorite?
I did.
It was Kevin.

President. says:
Oh.
Cool.

Space Case Mace says:
Before I ever met you guys, I had convinced myself that I was in love with him.

President. says:
:)
Yeah. Kevin's great.

Space Case Mace says:
Well, I had built him up into this, like, GOD.
And not that he's not awesome...
But I was just a little disappointed when it turned out he wasn't like I imagined.
I mean, I knew that he was goofy.
But I didn't know that his goofiness would also make him oblivious to the fact that I was "in love" with him.

President. says:
He's not goofy. He's just...
Different.
Oh.
Are you still "in love" with him?

Space Case Mace says:
No.
I'm not.

President. says:
Why not?

Space Case Mace says:
I realized after a while that I was "in love" with the Kevin I had built up in my head.
Not the real one.

President. says:
I did the same thing with Hannah Montana.
It happens.
It's not real.

Space Case Mace says:
Exactly.
So, in a way, imagination broke my heart.
But not really.
Because real heartbreak hurts A LOT worse than finding out that your statue of gold has clay feet.

President. says:
Wow. That's really poetic Macy.

Space Case Mace says:
I told you I took creative writing.
;D

President. says:
Ah yes. I remember.
(:

Space Case Mace says:
Good memory, you have.

President. says:
Eidetic. (:

Space Case Mace says:
Ooh, I like Criminal Minds, too. ;D
Spencer Reid is love.

President. says:
You watch Criminal Minds?
That's my favourite show.

Space Case Mace says:
I barely ever have time to watch it, but yeah.
Me and my friend Lee used to watch it and try to solve the cases.
But then he moved to Kentucky.

President. says:
I love trying to solve the cases before they do.
It's the best part.

Space Case Mace says:
I usually get it right.
My mom hates me for it.

President. says:
Same here.
But I take great pride in it.

Space Case Mace says:
Me, too!
I just go for the least likely person to commit the crime.
"Oh, it was the dad!"
"Macy, hush! You have no idea what you're talking about!"

President. says:
Haha!
I acutally try to profile the UnSub.
(:

Space Case Mace says:
I'm not smart enough for that.

President. says:
Sure you are Macy.

Space Case Mace says:
Eh.
I'm a good guesser and I test well.

President. says:
You test well?
In that case...
Criminal Minds marathon.
My house.
Saturday.
Be there.
Or your house.
If my brothers annoy you.

Space Case Mace says:
I've got a brother, too.

This is a dilemma.

President. says:
I've got a Private Jet.
With TVs.

Space Case Mace says:
Nick!

President. says:
What?
I do...

Space Case Mace says:
But you shouldn't do that just for a movie marathon.

President. says:
What's the point in having one if I can't use it at my disposal?

Space Case Mace says:
No.
Just... no.
It's called "manipulating your family to be out of the house."

President. says:
So I'll send THEM off on the Private Jet then.
:)

Space Case Mace says:
I can arrange for Alan to be at a sleepover when you arrive.
How's that?
Now we don't have to involve a jet or the EXTREMELY expensive fuel to power it.

President. says:
Kevin's always wanted to go to DisneyLand.

Space Case Mace says:
But Disneyland is in California.
And Joe and Stella would lose him.

President. says:
That's where Mom, Dad and Frankie come in.
Besides, Frankie's always wanted to give flying the Jet a try.

Space Case Mace says:
You would NOT let a nine-year-old boy fly that plane!

President. says:
Relax Macy, the pilot would be there.

Space Case Mace says:
But you'd pack up your ENTIRE family and ship them off to Disneyland--missing the trip of a lifetime yourself--just to watch a movie marathon with me?

President. says:
Or I could just book us a hotel room.
Wait! No!
FORGET I said that.
Please.

Space Case Mace says:
O///O
Okay!
Forgotten!

President. says:
Yeah, I want someone to challenge me in Profiling, Kevin wants to go to DisneyLand and Frankie wants to fly. It's win, win.

Space Case Mace says:
What about Joe and Stella and your parents? What do they get out of this/

President. says:
Joe and Stella will be in the close proximity of the Jet and Mom and Dad get to see the look of sheer delight on their son's face when he goes on the Small World ride.

Space Case Mace says:
xD
And you get to teach me how to profile someone on Criminal Minds.
Somehow, this doesn't surprise me.

President. says:
What?

Space Case Mace says:
The fact that your dreams are so mundane compared to your brothers'.

President. says:
What do you mean Macy?

Space Case Mace says:

You want someone to challenge you at your Criminal Minds game. Kevin wants to travel across the country to see a theme park. Frankie wants to fly a plane.
One of these things is not like the other!

President. says:
One of these things just doesn't belong!

Space Case Mace says:
Exactly.

President. says:
Someone flying is ridiculous.
Especially when they're nine.

Space Case Mace says:
Dx
Seriously, Nick?
I mean...
Srsly?

President. says:
-shrugs-
Srsly.

Space Case Mace says:
So why would you want to spend a whole day watching Criminal Minds with me when you could be out looking for "mystery girl"?

President. says:
Profiling is fun.

Space Case Mace says:
But aren't you in love with this girl?

President. says:
No. Thanks to you.

Space Case Mace says:
What do you mean? :/

President. says:
Your "Kevin of JONAS" analogy. You put it into perspective for me. I can't be in Love with someone I don't know just because she plays nice Music.

Space Case Mace says:
Getting over Kevin wasn't as easy as I made it sound, you know.

President. says:
I'm sure it wasn't. We were your rock. And we let you down.
I'm sorry for that.
Truly.

Space Case Mace says:
No!
That's not what I meant!
I could never really blame you guys for that.
You were just trying to spare my feelings.
I mean...
It was like looking at him through a film. There was this picture, this image that I had made up, that overlapped the real him. I figured out one day that what I was looking at wasn't the real Kevin and so then I had to replace that image. And it was really hard. I had to find out what he was really like, get to know him and force myself to see him for what I had learned about him and not what I'd assumed.
It hurt a lot to be around him and still harbor these weird feelings. Because they didn't just go away.
But now it's easy to joke around and have fun.

President. says:
Well, if you really want to test those feelings why don't you go out with him?

Space Case Mace says:
Because I figured out a while ago that there's someone else. And these feelings are a lot more real than what I had for Kevin.
It hurts a lot worse to be around him and know that he's not going to feel the same, which is how I know that it's real.
But I just can't stay away.

President. says:
You're addicted.

Space Case Mace says:
I breakout and I start to shake
When I hear your name
I can't walk away
(I just can't do it…)

I can't stop, even if I try
I lay down my pride
I can't walk away

Describes it perfectly, doesn't it?
That's part of why I love your band so much.

President. says:
Well... You know what they say...
Everyone's Allergic to Poison Ivy.

Space Case Mace says:
I also love you guys because you're inside my head.
;P

President. says:
The reason that you're singing?
(:

Space Case Mace says:
(:
So you're over mystery girl?
Just like that?

President. says:
Don't get me wrong, I really REALLY want to know who she is. But that's curiosty. Not Love. And you helped my realise that. I was in Love with her playing. Her melody. Her skill. Not her. I don't even know her. I could Profile her. But I'd probably be wrong.

Space Case Mace says:
Why don't you try?
Just for funsies.

President. says:
Okay...
I'd say she's Athletic. Judging by her legs and arms.
Yet graceful. Judging by the way she hit the keys.
Musical.
And she wasn't singing. Which means she probably can't. Or won't.
She was sallow skinned.
I'd say she hasn't lived her all her life.
Maybe moved here.
From a warmer state.
And her body language showed that she knew what she was doing, yet she was fully focused.
She didn't even realise I was there.
And that's my analysis.

Space Case Mace says:
Wow. All that from two minutes?

President. says:
I told you.
I like Profiling.

Space Case Mace says:
She sounds... familiar. From your analysis.

President. says:
Do you know her?

Space Case Mace says:
I don't really know.
Amy on the basketball team has got hair and skin like mine. She's from Texas and she's got Native American in her.
But she can't sing or play anything that doesn't involve a ball and a net.

President. says:
Oh.
So the girl I'm looking for is Musical but doesn't sing. Athletic but graceful. Not from here originally. With brown hair, sallow skin and a great taste in Music.

Space Case Mace says:
Wow.
Um.

President. says:
Uh, hey Macy, I really have to go. I'm so sorry. We have an interview. I won't see you in schol tomorrow because of this charity thing we're doing but Criminal Minds on Saturday, kay? If you figure out who the girl is, let me know.
It was nice talking to you and thanks so much for your help with the song. You're now officially a part of JONAS. Welcome to the club.

Space Case Mace says:
(: Thanks. I had a really nice time talking to you, too. Maybe we can pick up again tomorrow afternoon? On MSN?

President. says:
Sounds like a plan. But I don't know if where we're going will have Internet Access. I'll certainly try though.
Later Macy.
(:

Space Case Mace says:
Bye, Nick.
(:
