15. AndroidsThere are 20 chapters, but this is where I’m at right now. It should be possible to skip chapters which contain elements that the reader doesn’t enjoy without affecting the whole; I’ll put a brief era summary and any rating and warning info as A/Ns on each chapter.

Summary
It’s the fourth party she’s been to this week if the one Taylor Kennick threw for herself while her parents stayed in their room counts (it probably doesn’t but whatever, the point is she’s been far too social lately and is just about ready to revert back to her hermit ways). Seriously, if it gets to the point where Mikey breaks out the password they created for emergency situations, and by emergency situations she means their lives have turned into a body snatchers movie, then she knows it's time to put on her pajamas, lock herself in her room, and eat ice cream straight from the carton.
