Summary: Five friends reunite a for a little vacation. But after a mysterious person claims Rachael has only five days left to live, Richard will do anything to stop it. Confusion starts to stir, but that's not the only things that stirs between the two...
Chapter One: Reunion
"Dear Rachael," he began.
"Give me that back Joey!" Rachael demanded, but the persistent blue-eyed blond haired boy loved to mess with her, and she knew it.
"Haha! You're invited to..." he stopped and smirked at her.
"What?" she stopped chasing him around the office. It's a wonder they don't get fired for fooling around. "Where to?"
"I don't know, it doesn't say. But it was nice of you to stop."
"Joey!" she whined. "Give it to me!"
"Would it kill you to say please?" Joseph asked, partly joking.
Rachael sighed, "Please?" She her best puppy eyes she could, and it wasn't very convincing even then.
"No!" but before he made a run for it again, Toni quickly snatched the paper carefully. "Hey!"
"Not again." Toni sighed, handing her letter back in her hands. "What is it now?"
"It's a letter from Richard." She said, quickly scanning over the paper. "I'm invited to a vacations with the others." She got a sudden worried look.
"When is it?" Curiosity got the best of Toni.
"Tomorrow." She said. Toni realized why the worried look. Tomorrow was the very same where Rachael help her move in with her. "Look Toni, I don't have to-"
Toni quickly interrupted. "Yes you do. We could hold it off until you return." Toni followed Rachael towards her desk. "This is a big thing for you, and I remember well how you would say you missed them so much. Now is your chance to see them again."
"Are you sure?" Rachael still wasn't convinced. "I have the Daily Planet to worry about."
"Don't worry, Joey and I got you covered on that."
At the moment Joey started to complain, "Me? I'm just you regular-everyday photographer. I don't"- Toni elbowed him hard on his ribs. "I mean no prob." He winced.
"Look, I appreciate your help Toni...Joey, but I shouldn't go."
Toni raised her hand, making her choice final. "Nope, your going." she said plain and simple. Rachel knew there was no point in arguing with her.
"So does that mean Toni wins in the "Raven" headline?" Joey asked out of the blue. Raven, the mysterious, cloaked vigilante who several claimed the new hero of Metropolis, a case which was left to both Toni and Rachel. Then again, they didn't share too well.
"Yes." Toni smiled.
Rchel glared at her best friend. "That is not fair Toni, no wonder you want me to go."
Toni smirked, "Not true, I mean it when I say you should see your friends again."
"I'm not gonna go in that case." Rachael stood firm.
"Look, I could send you some info through e-mail but you have to go. You know better than to argue Rachel, besides we get out in a few minutes. After wards lets go to your place, hang out and them I'll help you pack."
"Can I come too?" Joey asked.
"Maybe, depends if your good boy." Toni teased.
"Fine. Damn you Toni, you have no idea how much I hate you right now."
Toni smiled and headed out towards her office, dragging Joey along.

"Roy, did you get the mail?" Kory had asked her good friend Roy, who was still where she had left in the morning, sitting on the couch with the cooking channel still on.
"Umm..."
"Never mind," Kory made her way out of their apartment and headed towards the mail boxes. On the way she caught up with Garfield, one of her best friends. "Hello Gar." she greeted him by his nickname.
"Oh, hey Kory how's life hanging?" he asked, paying more attention to his mail than her. He was hoping to get fan mail. He had been practicing his acting in hopes of becoming a huge movie star. None.
"Um, we just talked an hour ago," She pointed out. "But how is your play going?"
"Better than ever, I already have dozens of fans." Gar threw away several useless junk mail in a near by trash can. A few bills, and another envelope with out an address were firmly in his hands, "Oh, what's this?" He teared the envelope and took out the paper inside.
"Some one must of taken the trouble to bring it here by them selves." Kory said, noting the lack of adress.
"Why didn't they just knock on the door?" he read over the paper, a bit disappointed. He was hoping that the words were made out of paper clippings, and the kidnapping of some one he cared about, damanding a randsom.
Kory was right, he did watch too much tv. "...It's Richard"
Kory had been searching through her mail and found an envelope similar to Gar's. "Hey I got one too,"
"He wants us to meet up with him, Rachel and Vic this weekend for a vacation." his lightened up with excitement. "Cool!"
"Oh this is just wonderful! Where do we meet at?" Kory finished reading her paper.

"Okay, Vic got everything set?" Richard asked. He had been waiting to get some free time to spend with his friends, his time was usually spend working for Bruce with the 'famly' business.
"Dude, calm down. I got everything set. The letters are sent and the equipment is in the car already. Chill man." Vic said, barely looking over his computer. "Besides, Babs has been calling."
"What for?" .
"Dunno, maybe she wants to go out with you... does that possibility ever occur to you?"
"Me and Babs?" Richard pointed at himself, "I dated her a while ago. Its over for us."
"What ever, you know you like her." He began to shut down the computer. "Better get some rest," he suggested, as he stretched and yawned. "Tomorrow is a big day, and we'll need our rest. Night."
Victor headed out of Richard's room towards his own.
Later the next day, Richard woke up late. He forgot to set up his alarm so, he ran across the room yelling at Victor. "Why the hell didn't you wake up?"
"CHILL already!" Victor said. "Look, it's fine dude, just help me get some last minute stuff in the the car then we can go."
Richard did as he was told and followed Victor in to his 'baby'.
