Yayyyy! You updated, thank youuu. I've been waiting for this update for so long. You didn't disappoint as always. Great chapter. I like the way you describe their feelings for each other. Kellan makes me laugh all the time.
But...this cliffhanger was just mean. Soo next time is the big time, isn't it? Please don't make us wait long.

I'm sorry about taking so long to update. I haven't had the feel to write lately but I'm trying to work through it.

I want to keep things as real as possible between Jackris so writing them the way I do is beneficial, I hope, to the story. Kellan has always felt like the goofball of the group. I think it's the dimples. :P

I need the cliffhanger to bring you back! No throwing fruit. :)

<3

If there is an award for best prank ever, this chapter just won it.  I almost died laughing at the prank on Kellan.  So evil, but so funny!

I am out of words to describe how much I like this story.  Your characters seem so real.  They have flaws like "real" people do.  It makes them easier to relate to, and to like.

I was so happy to see an update.  It make me squee outloud when I saw you had updated.  Hope you are feeling better, and that the move goes well.  Reading this has made me even more excited (if that were possible) for the 100 Monkeys concert next week!  Can't wait to read more!

Semen-based recipes FTW! :P

You know that my biggest thing with this fic is trying to keep things as real as possible. I'm thankful that you still feel I'm able to do that.

I'm feeling a little better. Thanks for the love, bb. *hugs*

Ugh!  I was so hoping that we were going to get there on this chapter, but I am greedy like that.  I so enjoyed this update and I know the next one will be awesome!  I liked the part where he asked about the lack of stereotypical dates and I can not belive the trick with the semen based flan!  That was pricesless.  I actually ordered the book for a couple friends for Christmas.  Fun times in PA!!!  I may make a few couples send you a thank you note for the great idea.  Thanks for updating!  (NessieFY)

Author's Response:

I know, I know. Everyone wanted the smeksin to be told, but I need to bring out the cliffie so that I could get you to come back for the next chappy. LOL

The date thing was something I def wanted to address. As much as I want Jackris to be a normal couple, they have obstacle because of the "Jackson Rathbone" name. She doesn't see it as a problem because she's simply happy to be with him and doesn't see him in the celebrity light. He, on the other hand, wants to be able to treat her like he would be able to if his every move wasn't being watched.

Semen-based flan. You can't go wrong. :P

*hugs*

Well, here's a neck smoochie then! :) I soooooo love the casual yet somehow very intimate and totally realistic 'i love you' scene..... well, beginning of a scene? I can't wait for her reaction and everything that comes after!!! Absolutely a genius quality chapter!

Author's Response:

You know me. I'm all about the realistic aspects of fics, especially RPFs. The more realistic it seems, the more readers seem to enjoy it and I hope that this story is able to pull that off.

Again, thank you for reading and reviewing. :)

please update soon, i'm going through withdrawl!! :)

Author's Response:

LOL! It'll prob be another couple of weeks before I can get 21 posted, but I'm trying. RL's being a pain right now so I have to tend to that first. The update will be lengthy so I hope that makes up for it.

Thanks for the love, bb! :)

Holy enchilada, Batman! This story's the shizz. I *just* jump started on my Jackson crush when I stumbled upon this little gem. I have grown fond (watcha, I'm using big words) of this story because 1) Iris is pura mexicana like mahself and 2) I love the humor in this story. Please, pretty please con un cherry on top update soon. Loves me some Jackson Action. :D

Author's Response:

Otra Mexicana! You have no idea how happy that makes me. :D

I'm happy that you found some of yourself in Iris. Being able to relate to a character makes reading fics more enjoyable, which I hope is the case here.

I'll update as soon as I can, but it'll probably be another couple of weeks. RL is kicking my tushy right now and I have to concentrate on that first. :(

Thanks for the read and the review, mija! <3

I have died and am writing to you from the beyond.

Just kidding, but I need a cigarette, and I don't smoke. lol

Author's Response:

Come back to us! We need you on this side. And no smokes for you. It's a horrible habit, one I have to overcome soon. :/

Aaaand, crying again. :'(

Author's Response:

No! Why the tears? I'll fix it! I promise. *lip quiver*

Oh Kellan. He knew exactly what he was doing, throwing those two in a bathtub all wet together. I hope that when Iris and J-Bone have little I-Bones running around that they thank Kellan for his quick thinking. :)

So Iris has repressed the crush (or tried). Now she's going for the avoid. Denying is the last step. I wonder how this will work out? I'm thinking J-Bone might make it a bit difficult.

Author's Response:

Kellan may be a giant goofball and prankster, but he definitely knows what he's doing. He's a little schemer, that one.

Little I-Bones? LMAO

When in doubt, avoid. That's Iris' motto. Sadly, I don't think it's going to work out well for her. :P

I agree with you that the photogs are just relentless. It's even more disgusting the pay these people get for the photos. It's not like people will DIE if they don't have a pic of Rob blowing his nose or something. *sigh* If only we ran the world, right?

Author's Response:

I can't stand the paps. There's a time and a place to take pictures but invading someone's personal space and life is just WAY outta line. The lengths that they go to are reprehensible. People forget that celebrities are regular, everyday people. For some reason, the public tends to think that they have a right to know what's going on in every facet of their lives. It's something TRULY bothers me.

We should rule the world! *fist pump*

I'm seeing from this chapter that Mexicans and Italians are a lot alike. We cook too much food, clean like maniacs before company, and then worry about there not being enough for everyone (even though there's enough for an army!) or that the house is too dirty (even though people could eat off the floor safely). :)

I think dinner went very well! The cast was able to have a good time and not have to be all prim and proper. I imagine Ben G to be a goof too, but very sweet. :)

TwiMoms are fierce! I am friends with a bunch of them. :)

I know you won't believe me, but it's nice to read a story and identify with the main character quite a bit. :)

 

Author's Response:

A few of my best friends are Italian and we always joke about just how similar we are. Nothing like being domestic to bring everyone together. LOL

Graupner's a total goof. I'm convinced. With that smile and lanky body, it's a given.

I'm happy that you can relate to Iris (me). I've been told that it makes reading fics easier. If that's so, then yay! :D

Twi ate my original review, but I hope I remember some of the key points.

I love the Spanish sayings placed in the story. I speak/understand/read Spanish (albeit poorly now because I don't use it as often anymore), and I got all excited that I recognized everything so far! lol

Poor Iris. :( She thinks J-Bone is all about Suzy. :( I am like that too...I can't understand why people even like me most days. Iris uses her humor as a defense mechanism, but I can tell already what a great person she is.  I hope J-Bone realizes that soon too.

Author's Response:

Twi seems to eat a lot of reviews. It's like a damn cookie monster or something. *shrugs*

I catch myself throwing in random Spanish words into everyday convos and my friends think it's hilarious. I figured I'd have Story Iris do it, too. :P

A lot of girls, especially big girls, have a hard time accepting when something is right in front of them. It doesn't help that Suzy's a knockout, either. Little by little, though, Iris'll come out of her shell. While the joking is a defense mechanism, it's going to help her out, too.

:)

Love it! update soon please :)

Author's Response:

Awww. Thanks, hon! I'll see if I can hurry myself along with an update. :)
