Painting or staining bricks gives new life and design to the popular building material. Many find the characteristic design of brick and mortar charming and pleasing; however, adding a bit of color can increase its attractiveness. Both interior and exterior bricks can benefit from painting or staining. Brick around fireplaces often becomes brighter and more modern-looking when painted. Brick outside often looks better and is protected from the elements when a few coats of stain or paint are added. Applying paint or stain to brick is a bit labor-intensive, but is worth the results.
Things You'll Need
- Mild soap
- Soft brush
- Water
- Trisodium phosphate
- Spackling paste
- Caulk
- Putty knife
- Primer
- Paint pan
- Paint roller
- Paint brush
- Paint
- Stain
Painting Brick
Clean your brick to remove any dirt, grime, soot or the like. Apply mild soap to the brick and scrub it gently with a soft brush. Rinse with water. If you still detect the grime, use a strong cleaner, such as trisodium phosphate. Follow the directions on the product's label for dilution instructions, as it can vary per brand. Thoroughly rinse the product off the brick.
Inspect the brick and its mortar for any cracks or missing parts. Fill in any missing mortar with spackling paste or caulk---use spackling paste for small holes or cracks, caulk for small to medium cracks and textured caulk for large repairs. Squeeze the product into the crack or hole or apply a small amount with a putty knife. Use the knife to smooth the product until it is even with the surface. Allow the material to completely dry.
Pour primer into a paint pan. Dip a paint roller into the paint and then roll it back and forth on the textured portion of the pan to remove any excess primer. Place the roller on the brick and move it back and forth to apply the primer. Begin at the top of brick structure and work your way down. Use a paintbrush to apply primer to the mortar and other small areas the roller cannot reach. Apply a second coat as soon as the first coat is dry.
Apply acrylic paint to the brick in the same manner as you applied the primer. Look for outdoor acrylic paint if your brick is outside.
Staining Brick
Clean the brick with soap and water or trisodium phosphate. All dirt, grease, grime and similar material must be completely removed before applying the stain. Use a pressure washer, if needed, to remove the buildup.
Repair any damaged mortar or brick with spackling or caulk, depending on the size of the deformity. Repair the issues in the same manner as you would when painting brick.
Dip a paintbrush into the can of stain. Rub the brush on the edge of the can to remove any excess stain. Place the paintbrush at the top corner of the structure and move the brush back and forth to apply the stain. Apply the stain to the entire brick surface as evenly as possible. Apply a second coat of stain once the first is dried, if desired.

LG launch two mid-range G4 siblings for UK customers
As per LG, Stylus 2 is a direct upgrade to the G4 Stylus that was unveiled in May of last year. With a 5.7-inch display, G4 Stylus came with LG's Rubberdium™ Stylus which you can use for note taking and drawing on the phone's screen. G4 Stylus also featured a removable 3,000 mAh battery, Quad-core and octa-core processors for LTE and 3G variants, 13MP and 5MP cameras, 8GB of storage and a microSD slot.
LG Stylus 2 retains the size of G4 Stylus but comes with a new nano-coated pen for greater accuracy than the one which came with its predecessor. Other upgrades include an upgraded front camera, the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS and twice the internal storage and RAM. LG has chosen to retain the processor, the rear camera and the battery and has decided not to launch a 3G variant unlike with the G4 Stylus.
LG X cam and X screen to bring in top cameras and display for mid-range phone buyers
LG Stylus 2 will also launch with a Pen Keeper feature which will alert you through a pop up message if the phone is in motion with an empty Stylus bay. This will ensure that you do not lose or misplace the stylus while travelling.
While G4 Stylus was available in Metallic Silver and Floral White colours, LG will sell Stylus 2 in Titan, White and Brown colours. Stylus 2 will also be much lighter and thinner than G4 Stylus, letting you hold and operate it with greater ease.
"LG Stylus 2 provides both the big screen and premium notetaking functions of a premium large phone at a price of a mid-tier phone. This device is another example of our commitment to the mass-tier segment where there is so much opportunity for growth and creativity," said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
Brace for two new flagship phones from LG this year!
While Stylus 2 offers a phablet-sized display and similar functionality as Samsung's Galaxy Note 5, it comes nowhere near in terms of specifications. With a limited RAM, storage and processor, we expect the Stylus 2 to sell at a mid-range price and come as a cheaper alternative for G5 enthusiasts.
LG Stylus 2 Key specifications:
Display: 5.7-inch HD In-Cell Touch (1280 x 720)Chipset: 1.2GHz Quad-CoreCamera: Rear 13MP / Front 8MPMemory: 1.5GB LPDDR3 RAM / 16GB ROM / MicroSD Battery: 3,000mAh (removable)Operating System: Android 6.0 MarshmallowSize: 155 x 79.6 x 7.4mmWeight: 145gNetwork: LTE / HSPA+ / GSMConnectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g, n / Bluetooth 4.1 / USB 2.0Colours: Titan / White / Brown

Captain's Word - November 2014Its a huge pleasure to be taking over the helm from Sam Lloyd as Caius Captain of Boats for this coming year. Im not at all intimidated by not having a boathouse for this season if anything, I look forward to keeping Caius the most formidable club on the Cam, boathouse or not. I came to Cambridge in October of 2012, and had the opportunity to travel to Basel with M1 to race the famous Basel Head. It was a tremendously fun experience. I chose to pursue CUWBC for that year, claiming the lightweight cox role for the 2013 boat race, and becoming close friends with many Caians in the program. I decided that 2013-2014 would be the year that I dedicated my time to Caius, where I coxed M1 periodically, spent much time coaching W1 (specifically in the Lents term) and went up three slots coxing W1 in the Mays. My biggest goal for this coming year is to continue the success of both the women and men's senior squads, and importantly, to build a very strong novice intake.

For Jagmohan Dalmiya, cleaning cricket is paramount but the former International Cricket Council and Board of Control for Cricket in India chief says he will not ask the current BCCI president - N Srinivasan - to resign.
Speaking to members of the press late on Wednesday, Dalmiya said the sport of cricket should be kept clean. "The game should be clean. There is no place for entertainment. The (BCCI) inquiry commission may be good but I would say, don't get lost, don't forget about cleaning cricket," he said, adding though that temporarily suspending IPL can be an option to clean cricket. "If need be, for cleaning up of cricket, then temporarily IPL may be banned.".
Asked what his stand is on whether Srinivasan should resign, Dalmiya said he is no one to ask him to quit. "Why should I, who am I? Everyday things are changing and we will discuss the matter in our association," said the Cricket Association of Bengal president.
While clamour for the resignation of the BCCI boss over what his detractors call a conflict of interest at the very least is growing, he himself remains adamant.
Even Sports Minister Jitendra Singh said the BCCI chief should quit. "BCCI is inquiring into allegations of match and spot fixing. As there is a conflict of interest in this inquiry, the BCCI President should tender his resignation on moral grounds, pending its outcome." (Read full report here)

The Guarded Heart (Super Regency, Signet)
The Guarded Heart by Barbara Hazard Beautiful Erica Stone left Regency England for Vienna with a husband she barely knew. But she found her husband mysteriously murdered and herself alone in a city of romance, where women were playthings and words of love were lies. Owen Kingsley, the handsome, cynical Duke of Graves, promised her protection if only she would spy for England among the licentious lords of Europe. Erica, of course, expected that she would be tangling with danger and intrigue and barely raised an eyebrow when her noble targets offered her dubious pleasures at the price of honor. But Erica never dreamed she would soon be wrestling with her own blazing passion for the tantalizingly reserved duke, whose first achingly tender kiss sparked a burning desire in her more powerfully exciting than her heart had ever felt before....

We are having problems with Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0/9.0 crashing on our users when they try to print, either from a separate PDF file or one opened within a browser. There are various PC makes, but I believe all are running XP SP2. We here in the IS department have had no problems and have the exact same applications installed, so we're quite sure it is not a conflict in applications. Any insight on this? It started with one PC and now has affected about 4. We don't want this issue to go unresolved, but at this point the best solution seems to be to switch PDF viewing over to FoxIt Reader.
Thanks in advance,

Interesting problem. You didn't give us the error when it fails.
It isn't unusual for Adobe to put a bunch of hooks into other products - web browsers, word processors, etc.
You also didn't mention what you are trying to print to. The printer driver may need to be updated.
I would look at the event log on the computer where it is failing.
I use Foxit on a couple of machines. It would be a good test to uninstall all of the Adobe stuff and give Foxit a try.
Dec 16, 2008 at 2:28 UTC
Sorry about the lack of detail. I wasn't able to pull up the error again in IE before this post, but the event viewer ID is 1000 and the message is:
- "Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 6.0.2900.5512, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5512, fault address 0x000109f9."
The only other error I see in the application log is from yesterday when the user tried to print it directly from Acrobat, which results in another Event 1000:
- "Faulting application acrord32.exe, version 18.104.22.168, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5512, fault address 0x000109f9."
In searching online I see some possible fixes. Also, I am experimenting with file permissions to see if that is an issue. The computer in this instance had Reader 8.0, so i upgraded to 9.0 (to no avail). I looked at permissions and added a domain users to the ACL for Acrobat 9.0 with default permissions.
Dec 16, 2008 at 2:48 UTC
I gave up on Adobe and tried FoxIt Reader 3.0. It works like a charm and much much faster than Adobe. I'll keep researching to maybe help others in the future, but I think FoxIt is a reasonable solution for now. No need to make things harder than they are, right?
Dec 18, 2008 at 7:39 UTC
1st Post
Same issue here with exact error on a Win XP PC. In our case it only seems to be an issue with one print driver. Updated print driver to no avail. Will try changing from Adobe to Foxit...Good reason to switch to OSS anyway....Thanks for the tip!
Dec 18, 2008 at 8:22 UTC
No problem. I also read that possibly changing print drivers would help, but that did not help. Not only that, but we can't change from particular types of drivers (i.e. PCL vs. PS) due to a special healthcare management software that our facility basically runs on. I didn't like Adobe anyway.
Glad I could be of some help.

"Oh" KEF, you know how to insult an old reprobate, Gent, been called many things with the accompaniment of "Sir" well they had to call me that though probably spelt it as Cur in their heads but GENT?? Still it is nice to know we weave "That old black magic" putting you "In the mood" as David and I "Try a little tenderness" with I must say "Amazing grace" sending you "Over the rainbow" were knowing our luck we would land in the pig pen of "Old MacDonald's farm"? You would be ensconced in a feather bed playing with your "String of pearls" whilst David and I would have a "Blanket on the ground" as we "Roll out the barrel" and with a "Little brown jug" quaff ale until the "Sunrise serenade" ? I would dream of my "Lily Marlene" probably still standing under the lamp by the barrack gate in Bridgend, the Fred and Ginger of the Bridgend dance hall, "err" well she had dark lustrous hair and I was Frank, who disapeared on the "Chattanooga Choo Choo" to the dark reaches of Hampshire, Hoping she would "Not go under the apple tree" while I was away. With a wave and chorus of "Goodnight sweetheart" we would bow to the audience who thought "Babes in the wood" would be a lovely Christmas theme Park by Llewellyn Bowen and not a right old Pantomime as they threw their LIDL vegetables at us and we kept bowing hoping a turkey would follow so we could have a good Christmas lunch, "Look out he is behind you"???
David, in my viking North hugs come with skirts attached, trews a firm handshake and those skirt wearers o'er t'border a clout with a claymore if they get close enough. I use midge spray on them it does the trick.
Thanks David, a firm handshake will do nicely. Joan never went away in spirit I often catch a whiff of her gentle scent and after checking the dressing table for leaking bottles or cracked caps found nothing amiss so accept the fact she has her eye on me.
Home again after getting my orders from number two bossy Daughter who stuffed me as usual Friday lunch time. I will attend my grandsons passing out parade Monday night (Air Cadets). I will co-operate with the CH4 request for a programme on VE Day as there are not many left to tell the story, yes daughter dear, I was wavering, done it before with BBC. I will cook Ham for Christmas day and not let t'other daughter do it as my ham always tastes best??? She will get my Christmas cards for me, do I need her to address them??? "err" done and dusted, I can do things myself you know, "oh" are you sure you managed them all??? for goodness sake do you think me gaga. They all got a shock this summer after thinking me bombproof now they want to wrap me in bubble wrap. So home feet up reading the comments and playing "wait for it" Irish drinking songs, accordion music, as my own accordion needs repair it is all I have at the moment. Straus later.
PS Gosh that was an unloading though must have needed it, once I gave the orders.
Bark mulch takes nitrogen out of the soil and plants need nitrogen, it is best put down in spring when the soil has warmed up. Bark is a weed depressant and tidies the look of the bed, it will in time rot down and slightly enhance the soil, I never use bark. Normal soil enhancer compost would be dragged down by the worms and feed the plants gently when they wake up again in spring As said above there are many differing ideas on mulch, I do what I found over many years works well.
A bright day yet again, one short sharp frost that put paid to the last flowerings, the garden as I look out appears to be settling at last into its winter rest period. My Music as I write and remember Joan's favourite places, "Tales of the Vienna woods" wonderful experiences in a wonderful Country and indeed wonderful music.
My relaxation time will be short and sweet, a full day ahead what with a flurry of birthdays then Christmas my feet have been red hot, it seems years since I was flat on my back in August, time and "music" heals all ills.
Now on new I-pad, was having problems now they seem to be cured, the laptop is only a year old so do not know why it should be different.
Heard of Santa Monica, think I used to Tango with her, "oh" and Santa Lucia, they would fight over me but "Santa Claus"???? Now Father Christmas yes, he comes down my chimney every year which is very queer as I do not have one. Right now I am mad upset red with fury!!!! Who the heck eats the mince pie the carrot and drinks my fine Scottish Lock Water?? Saying that he does leave after shave that brings me out in a rash, fancy soaps on string that get hung in the garage, I think the mice eat them, diaries and calendars pens and pads, is that a hint I do not write to Father Christmas, "oh" I forgot the over sized jumper scarf and bobble hat, the socks with multi coloured messages on them? who reads socks I ask.
OK I do not have to cook the Christmas lunch as I will be with family and grandchildren having a lovely time and we will thank Father Christmas for all his lovely presents, now where did I put the mince pie and carrots.
After much thought, consulting the Oracle and looking into Chrystal balls a resolution has been made.
Concrete it all over paint it green and erect tall fences with beautifully hand painted back drops of colourful country and woodland scenes. Fill the borders with every kind of plastic flower and plant I can find a glass pond with plastic ducks and a silver foil fountain. An old searchlight on the garage roof, problem there the garage is to the North of the garden so my sunrise and sunset will be a### about face. A raised glass roof with a rotary lamp casting shadows of fluffy white clouds drifting over me as I sit with a fan heater behind my chair blowing warm air around my derriere and a glass of something warming in my hand, listening to songs of my youth and memories of dancing the night away. Well we can all dream can we not?
Fairygirl Daughter, I have told you language!!!! "We are somewhat reduced in energy with over exertion" is much better than "bonus knockered" that is Spanish for what you said. You are correct the 31st of December for resolutions not the 1st.
It is the old question, is it a show or a dance competition? The BBC make a show of it for those millions of people who never found the joy of Ballroom dancing, those wonderful nights in the Hammersmith or Locarno's not to mention the Blackpool Tower, club dancing or dancing round your hand bag and that was only the men, does not give an insight in to two people flowing round a room in complete harmony hence the extras, eye candy.
Mark had only a few hours practice because of his day job and Karen had to make it simple she is a good choreographer normally, the Salsa was never one of my dances it was sit out time for me, Latin was Tango, slow or fast, Rumba and Paso, the jive was for the kids penned into the corners of the hall, did it on the odd occasion and not good at it. Jake or Mark next week and then the dancing begins though if anything like other years more Gymnastics than dance. Some may not like Caroline the person but boy can she dance, I would have loved to dance with her in my hay day, long gone now.

The Syracuse-Maryland NCAA Quarterfinal was being played in earnest inside Brown Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Outside, in a parking lot adjacent to the stadium, music blared from a tailgate party. Soon after, the Brown team arrived at the stadium, complete with a police escort that had sirens blaring a la SEC football.
It's not very common for two of the sport's blueboods – the Terrapins and Orange – to be demoted to sideshow status. But the second quarterfinal, between Navy and Brown, clearly was the main event in Providence, R.I.
And the games reflected it. Top-seeded Maryland led by at least three goals for the final 47 minutes of a 13-7 victory over the eighth-seeded Orange.
In the second game, Brown and Navy played a seesaw fourth quarter that ended with Brown holding on for an 11-10 victory before 11,012.
In the final quarter the Midshipmen closed to 8-7, 9-8, 10-9 and 11-10 but did not tie the game nor take the lead.
Throughout the day, the throng of Brown students standing behind the team's bench chanted "Family! Family!" Yet as the game ended, they changed their tune to "Final Four! Final Four!"
Brown is in the Final Four for the first time since 1994. The Terrapins, meantime, are not neophytes on the sport's biggest stage. They are in the Final Four for the fifth time in coach John Tillman's six seasons.
When asked about his success in quarterfinals – Maryland is 5-0 in those games under Tillman – he gave credit to his players.
"Having really good players – guys that really make a lot of sacrifices," he said. "You certainly have to have a lot of talent. We have a lot of guys who are really selfless."
The games were filled with subplots. The primary one emerged before any of the four teams had arrived at the stadium. News broke early Saturday that Brown junior Dylan Molloy, the leading scorer in the nation, would miss the game with a broken right foot that he suffered in a first-round win over Johns Hopkins.
However, the Bears (16-2) still had their second leading scorer. He's also the second leading scorer in the nation. That player, senior Kylor Bellistri, had four goals and two assists against the Midshipmen (11-5). Bellistri enters the Final Four with 62 goals and 28 assists.
Bellistri's performance is part of a huge weekend for his family. On Sunday night his father, Jeff Bellistri, will try to coach Bullis (Md.) to its first IAC championship against St. Stephen's/St. Agnes. The game was moved from Saturday so Jeff Bellistri could attend the quarterfinal.
Kylor Bellistri proved his worth on Saturday. Bellistri's goal late in the first quarter came on a behind-the-back shot while he was double-teamed.
His final goal appeared to be the clincher: Bellistri collected an errant pass about 15 yards from the goal and scored for an 11-9 lead with 2 minutes 22 seconds to play.
Navy's final goal came from sophomore Casey Rees, who got a step on senior John Yozzo-Scaperrotta and scored to cut the deficit to 11-10 with 1:59 to play.
As he had done most of the day, Brown senior Will Gural won the ensuing face-off and the Bears held possession until, with the shot clock winding down, freshman Foster LeBoeuf took a point-blank shot that was saved by senior John Connors with 25 seconds to play.
Navy senior co-captain Jules Godino got the ball just past midfield and tried to pass to junior John Trainor with 16 seconds left. But the ball ticked off the top of Trainor's stick and went out of bounds. The Bears ran out the clock to secure the win.
Gural helped Brown win 18 of 24 face-offs. To stop him, the Midshipmen tried just about everything. They used three face-off specialists and even double-poled the wings, leaving a shortstick defender on an attackman.
"We could never get two face-offs in a row," Navy Coach Rick Sowell said. "We would get a goal and we'd have to play defense or John would have to make a save to get the ball back. That stresses you out."
Against the No. 1 scoring offense in the nation, Connors finished with 21 saves. In the postgame interviews, Connors smiled briefly when discussing Navy's future.
"I think our senior class, we're definitely proud of what we're leaving behind," Connors said. "Look at guys like Casey Rees, [Navy lacrosse] is in good hands. There's a bright future fo a lot of guys."
Indeed, Rees proved he has a bright future with five goals.
The first quarterfinal pitted two teams with fairly opposite playoff histories. The Terrapins (16-2) have not won an NCAA Tournament since 1975. Dating from 1983, the Orange (12-5) has won 11.
Syracuse appeared loose as it took the field for pregame warmups; its shooting drills included the goalies. And the players wore T-shirts under their jerseys that read "Attack Mode."
But it was the Terrapins who started off in attack mode -- they jumped to a 4-1 lead late in the first quarter that was rarely threatened.
Junior Matt Rambo had four goals and two assists and senior Pat Young added four goals for the Terrapins. Senior Tim Barber and freshman Nate Solomon each scored two goals for Maryland.
This year's postseason path is a via della rosa of Maryland lacrosse history. The Terrapins won the Big Ten tournament at Homewood Field, site of their most recent NCAA title in 1975. Their first round game was at Maryland Stadium, site of Maryland's losses in the NCAA Final in 1979, 1995 and 1997.
Brown Stadium is where Maryland's drought began – after winning the 1975 title, the Terrapins lost to Cornell, 16-13 in overtime, in the 1976 Title Game here.
And next weekend, Maryland will play in the site where it lost the 2015 title game but in the city where it won in 1973.
History may, for once, be breaking Maryland's way given the injury to Molloy. A Maryland-Brown semifinal – an ironclad defense against the No. 1 scoring offense -- will be anything but a sideshow in Philadelphia.

Disclaimer: I own nothing blahdy blah...
Author's Note: Sooo sorry it took this long, exams and the like delayed my writing, you know how it is...But here is Chapter 5 up! When we left off, Fez went to get Nessa...
Chapter 5: We deserve each other...
Nessa blinked. She couldn't believe what was happening. So much, so fast.
"I think I would." She smiled. "I've been stuck here all day. It will be nice to get out."
"Alright then, shall we?" He took the back of her chair and wheeled her out of the apartment.
"Ok, so in this book it says that there are countless other worlds outside of Oz." Elphaba pointed to the page, "We just need to figure out which one you came from." Donna nodded in agreement.
"Right, so we should look for Wisconsin." She answered, "Or America."
"What?" Elphaba was confused, "Does the place you're from have two names?"
"Not really. Wisconsin is the State we live in, America is the country." Donna explained. "Like this is Oz right?" Elphaba nodded, "But you said that we're in the Province of Gillikin. It's basically the same thing."
"Oh, alright. So I guess we should get started." Elphaba looked over the book. "Here! America!" She stammered excitedly shifting the book over to Donna.
"Yea, that's it." Donna inspected the map that went along with the description. It was a little out dated, some of the states only came out as territories but the general space was the same. "Does it say anything about how to get there? Or how we got here?"
"All it says is that you have to go through the air." Elphaba sighed in frustration, "I guess that explains the van and the tornado."
Boq and Eric were walking back to the dorm when they encountered Hyde and Fiyero.
"Foreman! Have you seen Donna and that green chick?" Hyde asked, "Fiyero thinks they're going to get us home."
"Hyde, I haven't seen Donna for more than twenty minutes since we got here." Eric's voice was getting all high and squeaky like it usually did when he got excited or nervous, "She's been all, girly with that Elphaba. It's weird man!"
As they were talking Elphaba and Donna came from the other direction.
"What are those four doing?" Elphaba said as they saw the boys from behind.
"I don't know but watch this!" Donna ran up and jumped onto Eric's back pushing him to the ground.
"Donna!" He shouted, wrestling with her, "What are you doing?" She let up and stood up brushing her self off.
"I haven't seen you all day." She shrugged, "I wanted to say hello."
"That was some hello." Fiyero commented, "Hey, Elphie." He said awkwardly.
"Hi," she cleared her throat. "Um, Yea, so we figured out how to get them home."
"You did?" Hyde said, "You're sure?"
"Oh yea, it's pretty good." Donna said, "But we need to find every one. Has anyone seen the others?"
"No." Hyde and Eric answered at the same time.
"Oh!" Elphaba said, "I saw Fez this morning. He was looking for Nessa."
"He was what?" Boq said, feeling protective of Nessarose.
"He was looking for Nessa." Elphaba repeated slowly, not understanding Boq's concern.
"Who was looking for Nessa?" Fiyero jumped as Galinda came up behind him silently.
"Fez." Donna answered, and then looked at Jackie, "What are you wearing?" Donna was of course referring to the Ozian style pink dress Jackie now wore.
"Isn't it fabulouscious!" Jackie squealed, she had quickly picked up on Galinda's style of speaking, "Galinda picked it out."
"You look like Little Bo Peep barfed up a dress." Donna retorted
"Donna, you don't know anything about fashion!" Jackie replied angrily.
"This argument sounds so familiar!" Elphaba laughed glancing at Galinda.
"Well, it seems that you two have that in common Elphie!" Galinda agreed in a giggle, "You don't have any fashion sense either."
"While I would love to stand around all day insulting Jackie," Hyde broke up the girls, "We have a much bigger issue at hand."
"And what issue is that?" Jackie said, not even fazed by Hyde's remark.
"What issue is that?" Donna said, "Some poor girl in a wheelchair is being harassed by Fez."
"Some poor girl in a wheelchair who had a BOYFRIEND!" Boq reminded everyone, as though they had forgotten.
"Thank you for pointing that out Bic!" Galinda, always a diplomat smiled, and the munchkin blushed.
"It's Boq." He mumbled under his breath.
"Where's Michael?" Jackie looked around, "I haven't seen him all day!" As she spoke Kelso and Avaric ran over covered in soot. She turned and saw them, "Oh no!"
"Fiyero! Boq!" Avaric ran over to his friends, "Kelso taught me how to set off fireworks! You should see it! It's amazing!"
"Michael!" Jackie shouted, "You said you got rid of those!"
"I did Jackie." He replied obviously lying, "But somehow, instead of the dump, they ended up in the van! I don't know how it happened. Anyway, it's great because now that I'm friends with Avaric, I have someone to share my passion of blowing up stuff with." Jackie gave him a sour look.
"Smooth, Kelso." Hyde nodded.
"Thanks man! She totally bought it!" Kelso gave a thumbs up sign.
"I'm right here your moron!" She smacked his head.
"Anyway," Donna interrupted, "I think we need to find Fez and Nessarose."
"That is definitely a good idea." Elphaba agreed, "We should split up. It'll be faster that way."
"Split up! Good," Kelso said, "I'll go with Avaric."
"No Michael." Jackie held him back as he tried to walk away, "You'll go with Galinda, I'll go with Avaric."
"Fine" He mumbled.
They split off into pairs, although different from the ones they had been spending time with. Eric went with Elphaba, Donna with Fiyero, and Hyde with Boq.
Fez and Nessa were sitting on a blanket under a tree having a picnic. Fez had lifted Nessa out of her chair and her feet were just exposed showing her sparkling shoes.
"Those are beautiful," Fez commented pointing to them,
"Thank you." She blushed, "My father gave them to me on my first day here. I wear them almost always."
"My parents did something like that." Fez smiled, "When I first left for America they promised me that when I returned home I could have my own heard of goats."
"Oh," Nessa replied awkwardly, "You're going to be a goat hearder?"
"No." He answered, "I thought I was, but now after my American experience I know that I want to be a dancer."
"So everyone else is from Wisconsin, but you said you're not. Where are you from?" Nessa asked him.
"Well, I was born in a little village…"
Haha! You thought I was going to tell you where Fez was from didn't you? NOOO, if the producers of That 70s Show won't tell you I won't either...HAHAHA!
Anyway, if you give me reviews I won't make you wait another month for a chapter...I promise!
