    LawBreakR: Meryl and Caressa, I know U have plans, but please, please, PLEASE tell me UR still there!!!!!!!!!
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: I’m here. Surfing Sephora. What’s up?
     
    LawBreakR: Aren’t U supposed 2B packing?
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: Done. U know my anal-retentive mom.
     
    MerylM: I’m here, too. Waiting for Ismet to pick me up. What’s going on?
     
    LawBreakR: Get this! Wait—do U want the good part or the bad part first?
     
    MerylM: Just tell us all of it. And don’t you think it’s about time to change your screen name, all things considered, Ms. Police Explorer?
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: What she said.
     
    LawbreakR: No time 4 that. Listen. My dad’s taking me 2 buy a car of my very own today.
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: LILA, OMG, THAT ROCKS!!!!
     
    MerylM: I’m so happy for you! Be sure to get something safe and environmentally sound.
     
    LawBreakR: Wait, UR missing the traumatic part.
     
    MerylM: So tell us!
     
    LawBreakR: Dad invited Dylan to join us.
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: Traumatic? Duh, stoner, that’s totally cool!
     
    MerylM: Yeah!
     
    LawBreakR: Oh, I know. But, that’s not the bad part. He also invited Dylan’s mother. Over breakfast, of all things, because she was still here, need I say more. And he called the outing “a foursome.” A foursome! That’s one person worse than a threesome, I think. I swear, I could die.
     
    MerylM: Lila, honey, take a deep breath, okay?
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: Listen to Mer. This isn’t as horrid as you think. Just go with the flow. UR getting a car!
     
    LawBreakR: [scoff] Easy 4 the 2 of U2 say—UR parents are still married, therefore not on the prowl.
     
    MerylM: Lila Jane Moreno, your dad is not on the prowl. These things happen. And Ms. Sebring is really nice. That’s the part you’re missing.
     
    LawBreakR: I knowwwwwwwww she’s nice! U guys just don’t get it! I’m not feeling the loving support I need from U!
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: No, we do get it. Honest. But try 2 have a little perspective. How bad could it really be? U like Dylan’s mom, right?
     
    LawBreakR: Not the point.
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: I get that, but look at the bright side—U have to grit your teeth 4 a day, and U score a car out of the deal. A car!!!
     
    LawBreakR: Yeah, probably a 1966 Dodge Dart.
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: Huh?
     
    MerylM: What?
     
    LawBreakR: Never mind. I just don’t want 2 double date with my father. The word godawful comes to mind. Also heinous. And puke-worthy.
     
    MerylM: I don’t think puke-worthy is an actual word, just for future reference. Besides, it’s two words, hyphenated.
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: LOL, Mer! Lila, it’s not a double date, geek. Just ignore the parentals. Spend time with Dylan, find the car of UR dreams, turf off the rest.
     
    MerylM: I agree. You’re blowing this thing up into astronomical proportions. Fantasticno je!
     
    LawBreakR: Heh? Meryl, is something wrong with UR computer?
     
    MerylM: No. That was Bosnian (well, technically CROATIAN) for “it’s fantastic.” I’ll teach you how to pronounce it next time I talk to each of you.
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: [baffled] Bosnian, Croatian, Martian. U kill me.
     
    LawBreakR: Me, 2. Mer, UR an overachiever, but we love ya. Anyway, I can see I’m getting no sympathy from U2, and I have 2 get ready. I’ll fill U in later. Caressa, U will have UR BlackBerry, right?
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: Yep, though I can’t check it when the plane’s in the air. E or text away. TTYL!
     
    MerylM: Bye, Lila. Hang in there. It’ll be fun.
     
    LawBreakR: Riiiiight. Anyway, laters. Hey, wait!! One question.
     
    MerylM: I’m still here.
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: Me 2.
     
    LawBreakR: Considering they never actually hooked up, despite having tons of chances since they spent so much time alone, do U guys think Nancy Drew’s alleged boyfriend was really her gay pal, and she was his straight cover?
     
    MerylM: Huh? Are you talking about Ned Nickerson?
     
    Lipstickgrrrrl: Gurl, what RU
