Exactly! Really, everyone would expect Norton to be the second in command, seeing as he's pretty stocky, but like you said Peanut probably landed it simply 'cause of his friendship with Johnny. I always picture Peanut sitting in on some sort of leaders and second in command meetings, just standing amongst the taller second in commands and barely reaching up to their shoulders xD If anything, Johnny is Peanut's guard!

I'm not surprised, I guess it was bigger in 2007 and now it's sort of something to poke fun at lol, but ah, I'm a sucker for a quick drama, which probably is apparent by my writing. I'm not sure how far her comparison to Blair will be, but they've definitely got plenty in common in regards to having their entire lives mapped out!

In the first version of the story, that I later scrapped, I was planning on having them bond over their families, mainly while drunk, though. I'll definitely incorporate it if the story gives way, because the drunken Derby/Alexis conversations were some of my favorite things xD

Thanks! It's very appreciated :)
