***************
You are walking into your neighborhood, miserable. You just got out of school, and it's Winter Break. You should be happy, but you aren't. you are going to be stuck in your boring house the whole break, with no access to the Chatterbox. This is because you are grounded.
For reading. Reading!
Well, that isn't exactly the whole story.
The day before yesterday, you were reading an extremely immersing fantasy novel. You were in the middle of a very suspenseful part when your parent yelled,"Lights out!" You tried to argue, but your parent cut you off. "I don't care how good your book is. You need to get some sleep." You wanted to scream that they didn't understand, that you simply had to keep reading. But you kept quiet; there was no use in arguing. You sighed and turned off your lamp.
Five mintues later, you pulled your covers over your head, along with three quilts on top to make sure your flashlight wouldn't shine through and give you away. You turned it on. It was supposed to be used for emergencies only. And this was an emergency. A book emergency.
You continued reading, feeling excited. You wanted to scream with giddy delight when the main character finally kissed that girl, but you could only smile silently. You wanted to punch the wall when the main character's best friend betrayed him, but you could only grit your teeth. Then that charming wizard guy died. You dropped the book, shaking.
"Nooooooooo!" you wailed. "No, no, no, I hate you, author!"
Your bedroom door flew open, and your parent rushed it. It all went downhill from there.
"I am confiscating your book for two da-" your parent started. Suddenly there was a flash, and the room seemed to shudder. For a second, your parent's eyes turned scarlet. Then everything went back to normal, and you forgot all about that weird thing that just occured.
Your parent's voice was cold. "You are grounded. For the entire Winter Break. No screen time, no blogging, and no leaving the house."
Now you are walking home, dead leaves crunching beneath your feet.
You arrive at your house and open the mailbox. Something flies into your hands. It's a letter:
-----
Dear Chatterboxer and Book Lover,
You have been invited to be in the first group of people to stay at the newly constructed Island Paradise Resort! The Resort sits on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the entire island is owned by the Resort. We are its only inhabitants. You will be taken to the island on a first-class private jet. Once you arrive, prepare to have a world of fun!
Our Resort is made up of a four-story luxury hotel, a beautiful beach, a small amusement park, a five-star restaurant, multiple relaxation areas, three thrilling waterslides, a peaceful forest, and absolutely no murders!
And the best part is...it's all FREE*!!!
The length of your stay depends on the number of people attending. If you choose, you may bring one AE and/or one CAPTCHA. We will pick you up from your home. Watch for our purple limousine.
We are not responsible for any pain, excruciating pain, deaths, excruciatingly painful deaths, or pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows.
See you there,
Island Manager
*You will have to pay for the popcorn.
-----
You pack your belongings right away, and as soon as you finish, a shiny violet limousine parks in front of your house. You run outside, dragging your AE and(/or) your CAPTCHA with you. The car door opens, and you get in. Before you know it, you are driven away in a whirl of mauve.
***************
I will let you all know when we have enough people, and then no more people can join.
And you may start guessing as to who I am starting the moment you join.

It's actually:
We don't need a legacy
We don't need money
If you would let me inside you heart
Oh, let me be a part of the narrative
In the story they will write o-one da-ay
Let this moment be the first chapter
Where you decide to staaaaaaaay...
(September 18, 2016 - 5:35 pm)
And I could be enough
And we could be enough
That would be enough
~ ~ ~
How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire,
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross's flag higher?
Yo, it turns out we have a secret weapon
An immigrant you know and love who's unafraid to step in
He's constantly confusing confounding the British henchmen
Everybody give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman!!!
(September 19, 2016 - 11:28 pm)
LAFAYETTE!
I'm takin' this horse by the reigns makin' red coats redder with blood stains
LAFAYETTE!
And I'm never gonna stop until I make em' drop and burn them up and scatter the remains, I'm
LAFAYETTE!
Watch me engaging them escaping them enrraging them I'm-
LAFAYETTE!
I go to France for more funds...
I come back with more guns and ships
and so the balance shifts
We rendezvous with rochambeau consolidate their gifts
We can end this war in Yorktown
Cut them off at sea
But, for this to succed there is someone else we need.....
(September 20, 2016 - 1:29 pm)
Hamilton!
So he knows what to do in the trench ingenuitive anf fluent in French I mean
Hamilton!
So you're gonna have to use him eventually
Hamilton!
No one has more resilience or matches my practical, tactical brilliance!
(September 21, 2016 - 6:39 pm)
I hate to be obnoxious, but there's one line you missed.
Sir, you gonna have to use him eventually
What's he gonna do on the bench I mean-
Yeah. Sorry.
(September 22, 2016 - 7:35 pm)
Hamilton!
You wanna fight for your land back
Hamilton!
I need my right hand man back!
Yo, get your right hand man back
Yo, gotta get your right hand man back
I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter
but the sooner the better
To get your right hand man back
(September 21, 2016 - 11:05 pm)
Alexander Hamilton...
Troops are waiting in the field for you
If you join us right now, together we can turn the
Tiiii-iiiii-ide...
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
If we manage to get this right
They'll surrender by early light!
The world will never be the same
Alexander....
(September 22, 2016 - 12:31 pm)
Urgh, I feel like I'm being obnoxious again, but one other line missing:
Oh Alexander Hamilton
I have soldiers that will yield for you.
Anyways, skipping to the end there is a transition to... the next song! I'm skipping History has it's Eyes on You because I really want to get to Yorktown and because I'm typing this sentence after I've typed everything else because I've only just realized that I skipped it.
The Battle of Yorktown. 1781.
"Monseiur Hamilton!"
"Monseiur Laffayette!"
"In command where you belong!"
"How you say, no sweat!
We're finally on the field, we've had quite a run-
Immigrants - we get the job done!"
"So what happens if we win?"
"I go back to France
I bring freedom to my people
If I'm given the chance"
"We'll be with you when you do"
"Go, lead your men!"
"I'll see you on the other side!"
"Till we meet again!"

I am not throwin’ away my shot!
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
Hey yo, I’m just like my country, I’m young
Scrappy and hungry
And I’m not throwin’ away my shot!
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
‘Til the world turns upside down…
‘Til the world turns upside down!
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
This is where it gets me: on my feet
The enemy ahead of me
If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me
Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me
Then I remember my Eliza’s expecting me...
Not only that, my Eliza’s expecting
We gotta go, gotta get the job done
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!
(September 24, 2016 - 3:56 pm)
Lol, sorry to interrupt, but...
At lunch today one of my friends said, "I'm French" and I went "OUI OUI MON AMI!"
(September 22, 2016 - 4:44 pm)
Oh my goldcrest if I was there I probably would burst out on song after you said that! :):):):)
This made me smile after a pretty terrible day, so thank you, Brook.
(September 22, 2016 - 5:11 pm)
Definetly!
Bringing-Books, Books, Books, laptop!

Sorry SZ, joining this Ski Lodge is closed...it's been a long time since it began. It's not finished yet, though it's close to being done.
But you are more than welcome to read through it!
**********
@Everyone
Um. Erm.
So...I feel really guilty.
I guess I'll just be frank.
HOLD YOUR HORSES IM NOT DROPPING THIS SKINLODGE CALM THYSELF.
So. I...kinda forgot/didn't forget about this?
Its been a little thing in the back of my mind...there, and every few days surfacing to prompt me to check if the ski lodge is still alive. And I am surprised and happy to say that as far as I know, it's stayed on the first page every day. Being saved by wonderful Hamilton finish the lyric games!
I won't go into how busy I've been...it just sounds like excuses. And it is, I guess...I mean, so many CBers manage to post so much more than me! Maybe I get more homework, I don't know.
I regret to say that this week may be the...second busiest yet.
But I do promise I will work on it. I mean, not that you'd be able to tell, but maybe that makes
You guys are probably dying, and I would be too....but I couldn't leave you in rude silence.
I made this little comment just to say...
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH AND I'M NOT DEAD.
There.
Now, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist because I am feeling SO Hamilton pumped....
Take the bullets out your gun!
What?
The bullets out your gun!
What?
****my addition: Okay, do you guys have a hearing problem or*****
We move undercover and we move as one
Through the night we have one shot to live another day
We cannot let a stray gnshot give us away!
(September 25, 2016 - 6:58 pm)
We will fight up close
seize the moment and stay in it
It’s either that or meet the business end of a bayonet
The code word is ‘Rochambeau,’ dig me?
Rochambeau!
You have your orders now, go, man, go!

And so the American experiment begins
With my friends all scattered to the winds
Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining bravery—
We'll never be free until we end slavery
When we finally drive the British away,
Lafayette is there waiting in Chesapeake Bay
How did we know that our plan would work?
We had a spy on the inside, that's right
Hercules Mulligan!
