(violet's outfits in this chapter)

"Okay, I got my mom's laptop and her password." Jackson said.

"And I've got the link." Ramona smiled, sitting beside the right side of Violet on the couch since Jackson sat beside the left side of her.

"I still feel like this is a bad idea. We're not allowed to watch R rated movies for a reason." Violet nervously spoke.

"It'll be fine, V." Jackson reassured her.

"See you guys later." 

When they heard DJ's voice getting closer from the kitchen, they each panic. Jackson quickly closes the laptop handing it to the girls who hide it under a pillow and they each lean to the side to cover it up more. They smiled at DJ as she walked into the living room.

DJ smiles at them. "Hey, don't forget the party's tonight." She reminded them. She glances at Ramona with a smile "It's a big night for your mom."

"Oh, I can't wait. I love you, mom." Jackson smiled.

"Love you, DJ." Both Violet and Ramona spoke in unison as they smiled.

DJ furrows her eyebrows, staring suspisoucsly at them. "Are you kids up to something?"

"Nope. J-Money just keeping it real." Jackson replied and Violet rolled her eyes at the name he used.

DJ shakes her head and walks over to the door and once she left, the girls get the laptop out. "Why is your mom always so suspicious?" Ramona questioned.

"In her defense, we did just steal her laptop." Jackson answered.

"Well, technically, you stole her laptop." Violet pointed out. 

Jackson rolls his eyes and takes the laptop. "Okay, I bypassed the parental lock." He said after working on the laptop for a few seconds. 

Ramona takes the laptop from him. "Good. Now I click this link and we can watch any R-rated movie without a parent or guardian."

After Ramona clicked the link, ominous music plays through the laptop and on the screen shows a skull with the words 'you've been pwned'. "Well, " Violet said. "This was definitely a bad idea so I get to say I told you so."

"Uh, that's not a good sign, right?" Jackson nervously asked.

"Not unless we're pirating a pirate movie." Ramona worriedly replied.

"Oh, no! My mom is going to kill us. Oh, we've got to get rid of this virus." Jackson worriedly spoke.

"Us? We? No, no." Violet scoffs, waving her hand in a 'no' gesture. "I didn't have anything to do with this."

"That's going to cost a hundred bucks." Ramona explains. "I'm good for thirty."

"And I got twenty." Jackson nods. "Where are we going to find the rest?" He glanced at Violet for help, giving her a puppy dog eyed look.

Violet immediately looks away, knowing she would cave if she kept looking at him. "No way. don't give me that look."

"Violet, come on." Jackson pleaded.

"Well, well, well." 

The three teens turn to look over at Max with confusion, seeing him turn around in a chair by the window. He grins at them. "Sounds like someone needs a loan from the First Bank of Max."

****

"So," Max closes the door as the three teens sat on his bed. "You three need money."

"Two." Violet quickly speaks up as she stands, moving to sit on Jackson's bed. "I didn't even want to do this in the first place so I'm not a part of this." Her friends shot her a look and she just shrugged. 

Max smiles, sitting at his desk. "Well, it's your lucky day. I happen to have money." He grins. "Lots of money."

"How much?" Jackson furrowed his eyebrows.

"I just told you." Max nods. "Lots. Now, before I go into my secret vault, could you guys close your eyes and turn away from the closet?" The three teens turned around and closed their eyes. He then got up and went to his closet. 

"Your 'secret vault' is in the closet?" Ramona inquired.

"Is it? Or is that what I want you to think?" Max asks. "You'll never know."

"Or care." Jackson cut in. "We just want the money."

Max rolls his eyes. "You may open your eyes."

The three teens turn back to face Max and open their eyes, shocked at seeing how much money is in the bag Max held. "Wow," Jackson said in amazement. "And they call me J-Money."

Violet glances at her best friend with furrowed eyebrows. "Who's they?" 

"Yeah, nobody calls you J-Money." Ramona shakes her head. She smiles at Max. "Where'd you get all that cash?"

"Birthdays, Christmases, allowances, lemonade stands, couch cushions-"

"We get it, Max." Jackson interrupted, but Max kept going.

"The dryer, car seats, pants pockets, and wishing fountains."

"Hold on, you go back into the wishing fountains and steal the coins?" Violet said with surprise.

Max smiles. "I jump in after people leave."

 "Wait, that's honestly a good plan." Violet admitted and Max grinned.

"So, how much do you need?" Max asked.

"Fifty dollars." Ramona replied.

Max opens the bag, handing fifty dollars to Ramona. "Here you go. Fifty chalupas."

The teens glance at it in shock. "Wow." Jackson smiles at his brother. "Thanks, Max. We'll pay you back A.S.A.P."

"No way." Max said sassily, setting his bag of cash down on the desk. "You'll pay me back as soon as possible."

"Max, that's what A.S.A.P. stands for." Violet chuckled.

"Oh." Max sheepishly smiles.  "Okay but still, until then you'll have to make interest payments."

Ramona tilts her head to the side. "What does that mean?"

"Show interest in me." Max replies in a duh tone and sits beside Violet on Jackson's bed, kicking his shoes off. "How about a foot massage?"

"Uh, I am not rubbing your feet." Jackson immediately argued as he stood.

Ramona follows his lead, the two of them starting to walk out of the room. "Fine." Max shrugs. "Let mom find out about her virus-infected laptop." Jackson and Ramona stopped at the door and walked over to Max. 

"Wow, you're good." Violet commented with an impressed look and he grinned at her. 

"Better get to rubbing, bro." Ramona said to Jackson with crossed arms.

"Uh, I am not doing this alone." Jackson glared at her.

"Come on, people. I have enough feet for both of you." Max spoke, taking his socks off.

"Alright," Violet chuckles, getting off the bed and heading to the door. "Seems you guys are prettty busy so I'll see you guys later. Good luck, you two." She said to Ramona and Jackson as she walked out.

When Violet walked down to the kitchen, she yelped when she saw a cow in the kitchen. The cow had leash on, the end of it tied to part of the fence the cow broke off. "Holy cow!" She said with surprise, her eyes widen. She then notices Kimmy and Stephanie near the door that led to the living room and she walks over to them, dramatically gesturing to the cow. "What the heck is a cow doing in the kitchen?" 

"Blame it all on Kimmy." Stephanie quickly replies, pointing at Kimmy, who gave her a look of offense. "Hey, I just did 'what would Kimmy do' so technically this is all your fault." Stephanie shrugged.

"This is not what Kimmy would do." Kimmy shook her head.

"Oh, this is exactly what Kimmy would do." Stephanie argued and Kimmy looked at her with offense.

"You don't know me at all." Kimmy set her purse on the kitchen island. 

"You have a cheesecake purse. Do you have a problem with a cow?" Stephanie raised her eyebrows. 

"That's a really good point." Violet nodded.

Kimmy and Stephanie started going back and forth, arguing about the cow as Jackson, Ramona and Max walked in. Well, Jackson was carrying Max on his back as Ramona opened the door for them. 

"Wow." Jackson's eyes widen when he saw the cow.

"That's awesome." Ramona smiled.

"Cool." Max grinned as he got off Max's back.

"Nice cow, mom. Where'd you get it?" Ramona asked.

Kimmy raises her hands in defense. "It's not my cow."

"Huh. Someone's in a mood." Stephanie comments and Kimmy glares at her. Violet snickers at Stephanie's joke. "What? I can't make a cow joke with a cow standing in the kitchen?"

"Yeah, Kimmy, I thought it was amoosing." Violet joked and Stephanie grinned at her. 

"See? She gets it. Look, if you don't like that one, I've got udders." Stephanie smiled from ear to ear while Kimmy rolled her eyes.

"Can I pet her, Kimmy?" Max questioned excitedly.

"Still not my cow." Kimmy quickly replied.

"Yeah, sure, Max." Stephanie encourages. "Go on. She's like a big puppy, you know, surrounded by flies."

Max walks over to the cow, beginning to pet her. "I'm home!" DJ called out from the living room.

"Bad timing, DJ." Violet muttered.

"Oh, no!" Jackson worriedly said. "If mom sees Kimmy's cow, she's going to have a cow."

"It's not my cow." Kimmy angrily spoke.

The group then went over to the cow, trying to figure out a way to get her back outside before DJ got in the kitchen. "How are we going to get this thing out of here?"

"I have no idea. This is my first cattle drive." Stephanie worriedly replied.

The group then tried to push the cow outside, but nothing seemed to work. The cow wouldn't budge. "Hey, where is everybody?" DJ questioned.

"Uh, not in the kitchen!" Max responds. Everyone glances at him with a glare. He smiles reassuringly. "We're safe." 

The group stands side by side, blocking the view of the cow. "Ugh, you would not believe my day." DJ sighed, walking into the kitchen. She grimaces. "Ooh, it smells terrible in here. Who farted?" Everyone holds up their hand in response. DJ just shakes her head and turns to make herself a cup of coffee. The group shuffles over, still side by side to block her view of the cow. "Can you believe that after seven years of dedication and hard work, Dr. Harmon is going to give the  business to Matt?"

Whenever the cow suddenly mooed, everyone shouted boo to cover up the noise. DJ smiles at everyone. "Aw, thank you guys, for the support." 

"That's great Matt is getting the business." Violet smiles a bit, happy for Matt. She grimaces after seeing the look DJ sent her. "I mean, great for him...Not great for you." She looks at her apologetically. "Sorry, Deej. It does make sense though. Matt is Dr. Harmon's son."

"I know, but he didn't work there for as long as I have." DJ frowns. "Totally not fair." She walks to the fridge to open it, frowning. "Oh, darn it! We're out of milk."

Max furrows his eyebrows. "No, we're not." 

Stephanie quickly covers his mouth. "Uh, you know Deej," She pulls her hand away from Max and points at her sister. The group shuffles over to block DJ's view of the cow.  "Why don't you go upstairs and lie down in your big comfy bed, ou know, up there?"

"You know, just because I didn't get the clinic doesn't mean my dream can't come true." DJ responds. The group shuffles back over as DJ walks to the other side of the kitchen. "Maybe I should open my own clinic." She grimaces. "Oh, and a window." She picks up her cup and walks over to the group. "You know, maybe the universe is telling me it's time to do my own thing."

"That's the spirit, Deej." Violet smiled.

DJ smiles. "I mean, if it's my dream, then it's up to me to make it happen. Am I right?"

Everyone shouted yeah in agreement. DJ looks at them weirdly. "Why are you all standing there in a line?"

"Why not?" Violet shrugged.

"Because we are a family united in support of your dream." Stephanie replied to her sister and everyone agreed.

"So go upstairs, take that nap and start dreaming." Kimmy encouraged.

Suddenly, the spoon DJ was using fell to the floor. "I've got it!" The group quickly shouted in unison, all moving to grab it, but DJ stopped them.

"I'll get it."

As she bent down to pick up the spoon, she was face to face with the cow. Her eyes widen in shock and disbelief. "Okay." She sits back up. "I'm going to go upstairs and take a nice warm bath, and when I come back, I want Kimmy's cow out of my kitchen." She grabbed her cup of coffee before she got up and walked away.

Kimmy shrugs and smiles sheepishly. "Maybe it is my cow."

(violet's dress for the party)

Soon it was time for the party. The backyard was decorated with Indian decorations and everyone was dressed up in Indian clothes. Violet honestly was in love with the dress she wore. It was one of her favorite colors and she loved how sparkly it was.

Everyone was chatting with each other and having a good time. Violet was talking with Ryker when she noticed her best friend, Ramona, and Max arrived. She snickered when she saw Jackson was pulling Max on a decorated wagon and Ramona was holding a palm leef.

Ryker raises his eyebrows at the scene, smiling in amusement. "Okay...Do I even wanna know what's going on over there?"

"It's a long story." Violet chuckles. "Let's just say they used some of Max's money and Max wanted them to pay him back by doing things he wanted."

"Smart kid." Ryker chuckles. He then glances at her with a soft smile, intertwining his hand with hers. "You look beautiful, by the way."

Violet blushes as she smiles shyly at him. "And you look handsome."

They continued to make small talk for the next few minutes, continuing to hold hands. Then their attention was turned to Dr. Harmon as he stood on a small platform, getting everyone's attention. "Namaste, everyone. I'd like to raise a glass to my son, Matt, who is taking over Harmon Pet Care." Everyone claps and cheers for him. "And, of course I'd like to thank Dr. DJ Fuller." He points at DJ with a smile. "For seven years of helping me out." He walks over to her. "DJ, come say a few words." He guided her over to the small platform as everyone cheered for her.

"Oh, thank you." DJ smiles at everyone. "And you're welcome, Dr. Harmon, for seven years of helping you out. After careful consideration, I've decided...To open up my own pet clinic." Murmurs filled the air as she revealed that. "So, I'll be moving on." As people started to get upset, she quickly adds, "But, please, continue to enjoy the party."

As she walked away, everyone started talking with each other, but it was obvious this party was a dud. That is until Stephanie stood in the center of the open area, gesturing for the DJ to start the music. She then started dancing as Indian music played. Everyone stopped talking, moving off to the sides to watch her dance with a smile. Stephanie danced over to Kimmy, pulling her towards the middle. Kimmy looked around with confusion, but then she slowly got into it and danced with Stephanie. 

"Come on. Everybody on the dance floor!" Stephanie encouraged as people began to move over to the two women to copy the dance. Stephanie even pulled Matt over, who widened his eyes and shook his head.

"No, no, no. This is really not my thing." Then he suddenly started doing the same dance as everyone else, surprising DJ.  DJ slowly followed along, before she got into it. 

"Let's go dance." Ryker grinned at Violet, who grinned back at him and she followed him to the dance floor, falling in line with Ramona, and Jackson  as they all copied the dance move. At the end, everyone cheered and celebrated with each other. "Ryker, I didn't know you could dance." Violet admitted as she smiled at him.

Ryker smirks. "Yeah, I took some dancing lessons growing up so I learned a few things. Like this." He spun her before he brought her back to his arms and dipped her.

"Very impressive." Violet blushed.
