"This is boring," Alexz said as she watched the movie play across the television screen. That's about all they had been doing for the past twelve hours; watching movies.

"Then let's do something else," Tim suggested before letting out a laugh. She looked confused as his laugh reverberated throughout the room.

"What's so funny?" She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him.

"You begged me to watch all these movies and promised you wouldn't get bored, and now you're bored. Seems kinda funny to me," Tim said with a smirk playing across his face.

"Well . . . shut up," Alexz said and playfully hit his shoulder. "Anyway, since it's summer, I've been thinking . . ." Tim interrupted her, "That's never good." She smacked his head before continuing, "Okay, so before I was interrupted, I was about to say, I think we should go somewhere, like a vacation. And I was thinking we could go to your one vacation house thing that's in Toronto. And of course I'd bring Laci along . . ."

"I guess, but then I'm bringing Jake."

"No way. If you bring Jake then there's no point in bringing Laci," Alexz protested.

"Why not?" Tim asked, obviously confused. Alexz sighed. "Gosh, Tim, you're so out of the loop. Laci and Jake have been dating for a month and if Jake came she'd be permanently attached to his lips. Therefore, it'd be like she's not even there. Get it?"

"Well, it's not fair that you would get to bring Laci and I'd get stuck being the only guy."

"But I already told Laci she could come."

"So you told her she could come before you even asked me if I'd even agree to this whole thing."

"Kind of . . ." Alexz said and Tim sighed. "Talk to Laci and tell her to lay off Jake for at least most of the trip, that way you're happy, and I'm happy. We all win."

"I guess . . . so when do you wanna leave?"

"I don't know, a week maybe?" Tim suggested and Alexz shook her head fiercely, "No, that's too long, I say we should leave in two days." Tim stared at her. "Are you kidding? We have to buy food and pack, there's no way we'd be ready in two days."

"Don't worry, Laci and I have got that covered already, we've been planning this trip for a few weeks now. All you need to do is call Jake and tell him to have his stuff packed and ready in two days, same goes for you, and then we're all set," Alexz smiled and Tim couldn't help but agree.

This was going to be an interesting summer.

Tell me what you think!
