Book 7 – Seventh Heaven
When Mia bankrupts the student government buying high-tech recycling bins, she needs to raise $5000 soon, so that she can pay for the senior's commencement ceremony. All her friends (including Michael, her long-time boyfriend and so called love of her life) mentions selling candles, but Mia absolutely refuses, so when Grandmere comes up with a solution: a musical, written and directed by Grandmere, starring Mia and her friends, portraying the achievements of Mia's famous Genovian ancestor, Rosagunde, Mia is thrilled, yet quite worried to be cast as the lead. 'Braid!' also results in a new-found friendship, between Mia and 'The Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chili', aka J.P. - Mia's on-stage love interest. Another drama in her life enters the story when Michael mentions his parents are going away for the weekend and he plans on having a party. Mia starts to worry she isn't enough of a party girl. She even (as a last resort, of course) asks her arch enemy, Lana Weinberger, how to act like a "Party Girl". Mia does what Lana says and it all ends in tradgedy. After she gets drunk and 'sexy dances' with J.P., her relationship with Michael seems to be on rocky ground, especially as Michael's parents are splitting up and he is being an absent boyfriend, as her relationship with J.P. soon will be, thanks to Lilly's new literary magazine, 'Fat Louie's Pink Butthole', which includes 'No More Corn!' a story Mia wrote about J.P. killing himself. However, Prinicpal Gupta immediately bans the magazine and confiscates all the copies, as Lilly has submitted five explicit stories to it. The play is performed at the Aide de Ferme, a benefit Grandmere puts on and everyone who is anyone attends, but, before the last scene, Mia is worried about her on-stage kiss with J.P. But then Michael shows up in J.P.'s costume and gives her a perfect kiss and they talk about their problems, and, once again, their relationship appears to be strong.
