Hour 5:
Q and Lacy are organizing the bags that are full of their groceries, and Ben is trying his T-shirt that he bought(which is a little bit too big.Only a little bit smaller than his graduation robe that he's wearing).

Hour 13:
Everyone says that Ben is a hero that saved their lives, but Ben told them that he did it for his own good, he didn't think about anyone but he himself. But everyone still thanked him.

They finally reached their destination, and found Margo's car in front of Algoe General Store. They got into the building and finally found Margo. But when Margo saw them, she didn't feel any gratitude for them coming for her, instead, spoke like intending to chase them out. Everyone got out of the building, except Q. They argued about their actions for a while, then Margo finally told Q the reason why she left, and the reason of everything that she had done so far. And that she would never go back again. Ever again. But still agreed that they will send mails to each other and might go visit one summer break. Margo used Q's phone to call her family to tell that she's okay. They did a goodbye kiss before Q leaves Margo. She was crying, but Q knows that this is that path that she chose and he can't change her mind again. He left, but went back to kiss her again.

Paper Towns Summary [Part 3/4]

Q got a chance to talk to his teacher, Dr.Holden, about the poem that Margo left for him. He thought that the poem was about suicidal, but no, he told him that it's not really related to death, but life. He tried to talk to his friends, Ben and Radar, about Margo in the morning, but none of them are free, because they are preparing for prom. Q's very pissed that they acted like Margo's not important anymore.

Everyone's going to prom, except himself. He lied to his parents that he's going to prom for using their car, he went to the minimall that Margo left clues instead. He tried his best to stand the dirtiness(rats) to sleep on the same carpet where Margo once slept. He imagined Margo being here and questioned her. There was nothing for him to do, so he started to look at the poem again, another way.But nothing popped up. He spent a sleep there inside the minimall, until Ben called him to go pick him up at the party because everyone was drunk(even Ben himself was drunk). When Q reached the party which is at Becca Arrington's house, Ben and the others were crazily drunk, and trying to break the longest keg stand record. He spotted Becca and Jase almost having sex in the bed room, he was peeping. But then Jase said the name of Margo instead of hers, so after that, Becca spotted Q peeping. Q then rushed to the toilet. He was in the toilet until Lacy came in. They talked a bit about how was prom, and Margo. Q sent Lacy and Ben home safely.

Q called Ben in the morning to tell him about Margo's developments. But Ben didn't care at all, he said that he needs to rest. Q got very pissed of of how Ben acted to him. He felt like Ben didn't even care for him all all, their friendship until now is meaningless. Then he called Radar, which at moment was not free. Radar told Q that he would call back, and he did. Later Radar went to Q's house, and Q told him about everything that he found out about Margo in the minimall. Radar pieced everything up that Q told, and checked in the Omnicionary website. They talked about the possibilities of where Margo should be. After that, Radar told Q of how each and everyone has their own ways.Q then finally figured out how everyone thinks of Margo. Not as a human being, but something special. She's not anything special, but wanted to be seen as a person.

Radar, Ben, and Lacy tagged along with Q to the minimall. They found a person inside. It was Gus, Ace and Carpenter. They told that Margo once tagged along on their urban building exploration. They would take pictures of it, but Margo did not. When she successfully entered the place, she would just stay there, just stay, and write something in her black notebook. They got a fight, so Gus's gangs went off. They found something. A little hole like a pin mark.

They went back to the minimall again to check about the pin mark. It really is a plotted point on the map. They thought about how much time Margo planned for every event she did, and the conclusion is in the black notebook. But the black notebook is no where to be found, it was concluded that it was with her. They had a new theory that Margo will be back on the day of their graduation. Because the timing of her plan was perfect. From Orlando to New York, to the mountains, to Chicago, to Los Angeles, and back to Orlando in their graduation day. It was exactly a twenty-three-day trip. Q could not believe it.

It was their last day in high school. They kept thinking about their lasts in this and that. And the graduation day came. Q's parents gave him a ford car as his present. Later Q found something in the Omnicionary page. The Algoe page was once edited by someone, someone who he knows would be the one who only write weird capitalization down. It's Margo. Q and his friends, Radar, Ben, and Lacy, then skipped their graduation ceremony to go find Margo in New York.

Paper Towns Summary [Part 2/4]

Last night's event with Margo was extraordinary. He woke up even though he's still kinda sleepy. Reached school like nothing happened to him last night. He expected that something might change at school, but no,everything's normal. He told his friends, Ben and Radar, after they saw Chuck's eyebrow that was torn one side by Margo and him. His friends asked everything, like, every single bit of what happened. But he still didn't get to see Margo. He thought that she was on her extraordinary adventure again, so he didn't really worry much about her.

Margo was not back yet, even though it was already 2-3 days passed that night. The school felt different without her, and without her, troubles happen. The tree of them: Ben, Radar, and Q himself, was shot by a water gun with pee inside. Not only them, but the Freshmens too. The culprit was Jason's underling, Jasper Hanson. Q made a new e-mail account hiding himself especially to have a chat with Jason.But Jason knew that it was Q, so Q just went straight to the point that, if he don't control his own underlings, his naked photo will printed and be reviled to the whole school. And the trouble ended.

It was almost a week that Margo disappeared. Until Mr. & Mrs. Spiegleman reported the case to the detective, Otis Warren. He told that this is the fifth case that something similar like this happened. But every time that Margo ran away, she would tell clues to where she goes. When she ran to Mississippi, she left an alphabet of : M, I, S, and P. Also when she spent the night at Disney World, she put a Minnie Mouse plush on her bed. She told her parents that she was disappointed that they didn't even care to look for her, but her parents say that her doings are all silly. Q was shocked at how unloving her parents were. That's why Margo like to run away for an adventure.

The detective asked the information about Margo with Q secretly without his or her parents knowing this. The detective knew that Q knew something about Margo, so he tried to ask if he knew where she went. Q didn't know, but told him about the event that night. The detective so warned things about Margo, that she was like a balloon that floats away when the strings can't take it anymore. But then she will just eventually come back when she heals.

Ben, Radar, and Q had a plan to search for more clues that Margo always place to. They went into her room, and search for things. They found the poem book. The poem that they aimed for was "Song of Myself". Some parts were highlighted in green and blue.[the poem is too long, so I won't type it, but it takes a big part in the story]

Q knew from Lacy that she went to New York, so they made a plan to go there without parents knowing.
Q pretended that he was sick and  vomit the whole night and didn't want to go to school(but he did vomit for real). After his parents leave for work, his friends picked him up and then leave to Florida. They stopped at a old building. When they went in, they smelled death, so Q thought that maybe Margo wanted to suicide, but no, it was a dead raccoon. They walked around the building and saw a graffiti that Margo wrote, "YOU WILL GO TO THE PAPER TOWNS AND YOU WILL NEVER COMEBACK"(Paper Town is the name that Margo used to name the city).Then they went back to the Paper Town. Then Q called Warren, the detective, and told everything that he did today. The thing that Warren told him is that he doesn't need to search for her, because she's already an adult; but Q believed that Margo wanted him to find her, and he missed her.

Quentin Jacobsen, usually called as "Q" in the story, had a crush on Margo Roth Spiegelman since he was nine-years-old. They are neighbors.Once they biked together to the playground, and found a man, lying dead. Margo was interested in the man, but Q wanted to go away, so Q grabbed Margo's hand and ran away with her. That was the last time that they got see talk or play with each other.

Now, in high-school, as a senior they grew up. The topic of prom flew all over high-school. Who will be with who, or who rejected who. Everyone was interested except Q. Even though he asked one girl who is like an ex-girlfriend to him, she already accepted another guy's invitation, so he doesn't have anyone left. Even though he had Margo in his mind, she already had a boyfriend, Jason Washington.

One night after, suddenly Margo appeared all covered with black paint on her face, and wore black suit  in-front of Q's bedroom window. She asked him if he can drive for her or not. And he did. And the mission starts.

It's Q's turn to pick who he's going to take revenge. He chose Chuck, the person who always bullied him before, even in his dance lesson when he was a kid, and that even made him still embarrassed til now. At first they got in the wrong house, but later with the help of his friend, he found Chuck's address. They went in and tore his right eyebrow out, then quickly climb out of the window to the car and ran.

11th Mission:
Break into SeaWorld
They climbed over the fence and landed on the shallow pool. Then Margo was bitten by a snake on her leg. Q then quickly sucked the part which the snake bit her, but gratefully, they found out later that it wasn't a poisonous snake. They found a perverted night guard, but still got through because Margo paid him to be quiet. They sat on the bench, look at the skies and talk for a while.

[After everything, they drove home safely without anyone knowing anything. Even though they fought a little before the 11th Mission, they still became good again.]
