The world as Andi knew it was coming to an end. Oh, it had nothing to do with CeCe and Pops selling the house and her losing Andi Shack in that potentially devastating real estate deal. As it turned out, Andi had saved the world—or, at least, her world—by simply proposing that she spend a lot more time back at the old house. It was a solution that made CeCe, Pops, and Andi happier than any of them could have imagined.

But in the weeks since, something else had pulled the rug out from beneath Andi’s very existence: Buffy’s mom, who was in the military, had been assigned to work in Phoenix—so, exactly as the fortune teller at Cyrus’s Bar Mitzvah had predicted, Buffy would soon be leaving town. For good.

In spite of all of Andi’s best efforts to find a way to keep Buffy in Shadyside, including having her move into Andi’s old bedroom at CeCe and Pops’s house, nothing had worked. The simple reality was that as much as Buffy’s mom understood her daughter’s reasons for wanting to stay put—a kid her age needed some stability, especially when it came to school and friends—she also couldn’t bear the thought of missing more of Buffy’s life than she already had during so many previous deployments.

As it turned out, Buffy felt the same way. She loved her friends and dreaded the thought of leaving them, and she shuddered to think how the basketball team would survive without her…or, really, how the entire academic foundation of Jefferson Middle School might collapse without her there. But she wanted to be with her mom more than anything, and who could blame her? Definitely not Andi. So now, with just seven days left to be together, Andi, Buffy, and Cyrus were desperate to squeeze a little bit of friendship magic out of every last remaining second.

“Come on, guys, think!” Andi shot a pleading look at Buffy and Cyrus, who were sitting on the olive-green velvet sofa in Bex and Andi’s apartment. “We only have a week left with each other.”

“I know.” Buffy sighed and hugged an embroidered pink pillow to her chest. “I don’t want to think about it.”

“It’s the world’s saddest countdown…and at the end, we launch Buffy,” Cyrus said softly. Unlike Buffy, who sat cross-legged, he was stretched out with his stripy-socked feet on the coffee table, and his dark wavy hair wasn’t nearly as styled as usual. In fact, it was almost messy, like he’d rolled out of bed and headed over to Andi and Bex’s apartment without even looking in the mirror. Which was a completely un-Cyrus-like move. Wasn’t he the one who had dubbed the three of them the “Good Hair Crew” a few months earlier?

Truth be told, though, Andi could understand why Cyrus was having a bad hair day. She hadn’t felt much like dealing with personal hygiene, either—let alone anything else—since finding out that Buffy was moving away. Still, she had somehow managed to shower and run a bit of product through her dark pixie cut before her friends came over that morning.
