This seems to be turning into quite a bit of an AU. Go for it though, that's what makes the stuff you write interesting to read! Just saying, if I were you, and I was going to publish it, I would put an alternate universe warning.

Yes... Sorry it does get a little out there. I'm trying to keep it as realistic as possible. It helps if you think of it as, it you took everything we had about the Meltsners up to Album 63, what's one possible road they could take. Obviously, it's not the one the AIO writers are taking them on, but it's the one I'm experimenting with. Because fanfiction is an experiment for the most part. There's two questions that all fanfics answer, "According to this character, what happened?" (Usually narrations and side stories about cannon happenings) and, "If these characters were placed in this situation, how would they act/react" (Eg: If Whit died, how would everyone react?)
Heh. Sorry, that got a little lecture-ish didn't it?

No, no don't apologize! ;) I was just making the comment, Don't flip out. That was my two cents, take those two cents and do whatever you want with it. It is more "out there" than your other ones, it's OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

keep your hands and feet in because you are entering the what if zone. A land far far away a long time ago there was a land called Odyssey. There was a very much loved person named Whit. Once he got into a big fight with a girl named Connie a person well know and loved to. They fought for ten years. Whit finally came to his good mind and went to repair it all. Connie who loved whit dearly made up. But what if she didn't what if instead she... "Whit" dear Connie I am so sorry that fight was so silly could we please work it out?" "Connie" you think i'am just going to forgive you just like that umm like no way dude grards lock him up" So then Whit locked up went to matters only crazy people go to. Now saying his crazy from being locked up. He got hold of a bomb and when Connie came to give him his meal WHOSSS the whole world exploded from the bomb the end.
sorry to post a story on your gallery thing but its really short about the Whit thing.

Haha, I am happy to oblige! But first, warnings and explanations: I generally hate writing marital arguments. For a verity of reasons, but one is that it's boring. (To read and write) Now I'm not saying that this chapter replaces previously mentioned arguments. It's not supposed to. I just didn't feel a strong need to write out Katrina and Eugene's entire argument. So, we're moving on with the story.
WARING! I am putting a strongly adviced age limit on this chapter! And it should be mentioned that I have no desire to write pornographic fanfiction, but simply good stories. So, I'd say anyone under 12 at least should skip this one.
Those of you who skip this chapter, I'll try my hardest to catch you up on what's happening. I'm also posting two chapters at once, so if you don't want to read the first chapter, and just skip to the next one, you can! (Though, I should say that even though the second chapter isn't quite as bad as the first, it still may make some uncomfortable. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)

Okay, after Katrina and Eugene had their argument, Eugene went to Whit's End.
Please enjoy!

Chapter 11
I needed to work. I needed to drown out Katrina’s words that still echoed in my head. I walked down the back hallway of Whit’s End to the computer room. The light was on. ‘Good. Mr. Whittaker is here. I can talk to him.’ I opened the door, and walked into the dim, lamp lit room.
“Mr. Whittaker?! Oh. Miss Carter.”
She was sitting at one of the computers, working our new inventory program from the look of it. I was glad she was there. I didn’t know why, but I was. She didn’t have her hair in her normal side French braid. Instead, it flowed over her shoulders in loose curls. I subconsciously admitted she was gorgeous.
“Oh. Hi Eugene,” she sniffed. Crying? A stinging sensation invaded my heart. “If you have to work, I can leave,” She sniffed.
“No!” I swallowed hard, retraining my obvious desperation. “No. You don’t need to. Um, why are you crying?”
“Oh. It’s nothing really. I just had a- less than enjoyable conversation with my foster parents.” My stomach did a flip at the sentence.
“F-foster parents? I wasn’t aware you- “
“Was a foster kid? Yeah.” She sighed. “But the people I lived with before I moved out are the- overreacting kind. They didn’t want me to move here. They said it was a waste.”
“Of your potential?” I asked, pulling up a chair. I didn’t know why, but I had to be closer to her. She nodded.
“I understand.” I said, quietly.
“You do?”
I nodded. “Not completely. But, I grew up in foster care as well, and when I was older, my birth father didn’t feel like I was meeting my full potential.”
Why am I sharing so much? I usually hate talking about- the past. Why am I suddenly a host to the memories of my past?!
“I’m sorry. I know it’s hard.” Her hand was suddenly on mine. I tried to ignore it- to treat it as purely platonic. But the action sent chills up my arm anyway.
“It was. Sometimes it still is.” I locked eyes with her. ‘What is this? Sexual desire?’ The kind I hadn’t felt for Katrina in a long time. Another tear fell down Renee’s cheek. I was suddenly brushing it away. And then my hand was in her hair.
“Get back at her!” My mind suddenly shouted at me. And I broke. Renee’s lips pressed into mine, and I returned with equal affection. Half of me said to stop, the other half said stopping was impossible. And I didn’t. We went further. More. More. More. I couldn’t stop. I didn’t want to stop.
“Revenge” Echoed in my brain. Somehow, we ended up in the guest bedroom that Mr. Whittaker had reserved for hiding or homeless guests.
We were both topless when-

“EUGENE.” Connie. Renee covered herself. I backed into the wall.
“Connie.” I struggled breathe. She was speechless. She didn’t say anything at first. What could she say? Then her eyes filled with tears.
“How could you?” She ran out.
I was trapped.
I wanted to hide.
I wanted to leave.
I redressed myself as quickly as possible. Not looking at or talking to Renee before running out of the room. If I can bribe her! Beg her not to tell!
“Connie! Connie, wait!” She turned around. Her face was stained with tears.
“What?” Anger.
“I wanted to apologize.”
“A-apologize? Apologize to me? I can’t believe you. I honestly cannot believe you.”
“It wasn’t what it looked like!”
“Really? Because it looked an awful like you were cheating on Katrina. You remember Katrina, Eugene. Blond hair, silver eyes, YOUR WIFE!”
“It- We’re not- you can’t tell her!”
“I don’t want to tell her.”
I released a breath.
“Thank you.”
“But I will anyway.” She turned around and started walking away.
I grabbed her shoulder.
“Miss Kendall- Connie, please.”
She looked into my eyes. Hurt. “Don’t touch me.” She pushed away and ran down the stairs.”
That was it. It would all be over. Everything.

And here's Katrina!

Chapter 12
I sat on our living room couch. Liz was in bed… I glanced at the time. One twenty. Buck would be asleep by now. After Eugene and I’s argument, my regret had only gotten more severe with time. I didn’t want to feel anymore. Eugene had gone to Whit's End, pulling the excuse that he needed to work. But that was over an hour ago now… how did the time go by so fast? The front doorbell rang, breaking me out of my emotionless daze. I forced myself out of my chair, putting on a happy face. Be nice. Be nice.
I opened the door.
“Connie.” I quickly released my happy expression. Connie’s face told me something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
“Can I come in?” Her voice shook.
“Of course.” My heart was pounding. Did someone die? Whit? Is Whit gone? Is it Jack? Eugene! Is Eugene alright?!
“Connie/what’s wrong?”
“Maybe you should sit down.” I did as she said, practically shaking with fear.
“I’m- sorry to be the one who has to tell you this…” her voice sort of trailed off.
“Tell me what? Connie what is it?!”
“I saw Eugene- “
“Wh- “
“Eugene and Renee. Katrina, they were, intimate. Putting it mildly.” I couldn’t talk. What was she saying? Eugene was angry, yes, but he wouldn’t-
“What exactly do you mean, Connie?” A tear fell from her eye. She struggled to speak for a moment, then,
“I saw Eugene and Renee… shirtless- “
“Who.”
“Both of them. Kissing passionately on a bed.”
“Where?”
“Whit’s End. The guest bedroom upstairs.”
“Why would you say something like that? Connie, that’s not funny.”
“I know. I’m so sorry Katrina.”
“No. No you’re lying Connie! You’re lying!” Hot tears streamed down my face.
“I’m sorry.” Connie pulled me into a hug. I had been needing a hug all day- and now. It was all falling apart. Everything. I cried into Connie’s arms for an empty amount of time. Wanting nothing more than to wake up from the nightmare I had just been sucked into.
A few hours later, Connie was stroking my hair, as I rested my head on the pillow in her lap. We didn’t say anything. I think we were waiting for him to come home. But it was four in the morning. Nothing. I thought he might’ve completely left town. Ran away with a college student, ten years younger than me, ten years prettier than me, ten years ahead of me.


I woke up the next morning to Buck tapping on my door.
“Miss Katrina?”
“Hm?”
“Please come to the door.” I hazily got out of bed and slipped on my robe. The one next to Eugene’s. It took all the energy in the world not to start crying. I took a deep breath, then opened my door.
“What’s going on?” Buck was scared. I was scared. I felt stuck. What do I do? Do I destroy Buck’s image of Eugene, or do I not say, causing at least a week of confusion and worry.
“Well. You and Liz are gonna stay with Connie and Jules.”
“Why?”
“Eugene and I are going to have to work through some things.”
“Miss Katrina, I’m not a kid. What happened?”
“Eugene cheated on me.” His expression was at first one of shock- then anger-
“W- What? He- but that’s- did I miss something? You were fine. You have a great relationship- “
“We weren’t… And we haven’t for a while.”
“But- but Eugene wouldn’t do that! He loves you!”
“You’re- not making this easy.”
“Sorry.” He took a deep breath. “What can I do?”
“I don’t know. Take care of Elizabeth.”
“Of course.”
“And- don’t give Connie too much trouble. She- she’s got a lot on her mind too.”
“Okay.”
“Hey, I love you.”
“Love you too. Just- what if you don’t work things out?”
“I don’t know. But Connie’s waiting.”
“Yeah. Okay. I’ll call you though.”
“Okay.”
I'll try and post the next chapter soon!

Look at this! Another chapter so soon!

Chapter 13
I was tired. Just emotionally drained. I hadn’t seen Eugene since… it happened… Whit had convinced everyone that I confrontation was the best course of action. We walked up to his office.
"I can't believe we're doing this,” I adjusted my wedding ring.
"Would you rather divorce?"
"Yes! No. I don't know. I know we need time apart."
"I guess we'll see."
"It hurts, Whit."
He pulled me into a hug.
"I know." He opened the door to his office, and we walked in. Eugene and Renee sat uncomfortably on separate chairs. Eugene's eyes met mine. He looked away. Shame. Good. He should be ashamed. Whit and I sat down as well.
"I um- I believe we all know why we've decided to meet today."
Everyone nodded slightly.
"I think we should begin with the truth. Eugene? What happened?" He hesitated a moment, then, "I think I just destroyed my marriage."
"Hope it was worth it," I muttered under my breath.
"You know what I meant Eugene. Tell me what happened."
Eugene sighed. "Katrina and I got into a fight, so I came here to talk to you, Mr. Whittaker. Somehow... Renee was there and we-"
"Yeah I got that. But why?" I wanted to get to the point.
"I was angry. I- wanted to get back at you. I'm so sorry." He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. He was crying. I knew he'd break at some point. I didn't feel like crying. I felt like smacking him.
"Renee?"
"Um. Well, what Eugene said. We got to talking..."
"Who's fault, is it?" I asked, staring at the ground.
"What?"
"Someone must've started things. Who was it?"
"It was me. I started it," Renee said, voice low. I was half satisfied and half angry.
"Hm. Well we might as well get this over with quickly. Renee- "
"I think I know what's coming. You're firing me?"
Mr. Whittaker nodded, disappointment hanging in his eyes.
"In that case, may I leave?"
"Yeah. I think we can work through the rest without you. Thank you."
Renee left without saying another word.
"Now. What are our next steps?"
No one said anything.
"Katrina, Biblically, speaking divorce is an option," Whit said, almost mournfully.
I nodded.
"I'm not giving up that easily though. We promised to stay together. I want to keep that promise if that's possible. And I couldn't do that to Buck."
"Okay. Eugene, where are you on the issue?"
"I wasn't trying to destroy our marriage. Katrina, I still love you."
"How can I believe you?"
"When did I start lying to you?"
I sighed. "I need time. I think we should separate."
Mr. Whittaker nodded.

Thanks! I've been meaning to change it for awhile, and finally did! And yeah I need to write out an outline, but a scene like that will definitely be in there! (I wrote a version of it, but I need to work on it more)
