Emma: This blows.

Alan: Let me guess. Being grounded?

Emma: Yeah. I can't do anything fun with my friends.

Alan: Then, you shouldn't have hung out with the wrong crowd, Emma.

Emma: Can Ken cut me a break?

Alan: I don't think so. You can ask, though.

Emma: Ken?

Ken: What?

Emma: Can you cut me a break, from being grounded?

Ken: No!

Emma: Aw man!

Alan: Told ya!

Emma: *sighs* My whole summer is going down the drain.

A/N Emma, just deal with the fact, that you're pretty much grounded, throughout a good chunk of the summer! You made the wrong choices, that lead to this! Don't be a silent reader. Please leave feedback. Thanks.
