CeCe and Rocky stepped off the plane at Los Angeles International airport into the bright California sun. Spring Break was one of the girls' favorite times of the year and decided that this year they would spend it in California. This was going to be their best break yet, since it would be the last Spring Break of their high school career. CeCe was looking forward to living it up near the beach with her best friend by her side. Rocky was here because CeCe convinced her that going to a new state would be a bit more fun than the same old routine.

"Ahh, doesn't that sun feel great Rocky? Aren't you glad we came out here?" CeCe turned to ask her longtime best friend.

"I guess so, it is really hot though. Why did we have to come all the way out here just for spring break CeCe?" Rocky asked as the girls hailed down a cab to take them to the hotel where they would be staying. They put their suitcases in the trunk of the cab that came and climbed into the back seat. CeCe told the driver to head to the West Beach Inn and turned to face her friend.

"We had to come out here because I want us to have a lot of fun this year! Plus, I have some other reasons for wanting to be away from home." CeCe said with a mischievous gleam in her eyes.

Rocky sighed, "I know that look, what are you planning CeCe? What crazy idea do you have this time?"

CeCe just smiled and shook her head, "Oh no, you will wait until we get to the hotel and then I will tell you."

Rocky released a deeper sigh and decided to try and wait patiently for them to get to the hotel. She loved her best friend, but she always got her into trouble. She hoped that this time wouldn't result in some serious trouble for the both of them.

The girls arrived at their hotel and checked in with the front desk. There room was up on the fifth floor and both girls were happy to see freshly made beds waiting for them. CeCe jumped face-first into her bed while Rocky sat at the edge of her own, examining her redhead friend closely. Rocky knew CeCe was reckless and wild, but even this seemed out of the ordinary for her. Why come all the way to California just for Spring Break? What ulterior motive did her best friend have for coming out here? As she pondered these questions, Rocky decided that she needed to ask CeCe directly.

"So…we are at the hotel now. Care to explain why we are here CeCe? I mean why come all the way to California? What are you planning?"

CeCe, still lying on the bed, turned to face her friend. She was not sure how to explain what she wanted to do here in California. Yeah, the idea was to have fun, but a very different kind of fun from what Rocky must be expecting. CeCe was actually kind of nervous that Rocky might be too strait-laced for the plan CeCe had in mind. But she decided that if anyone was going to support her in this endeavor, it would be Rocky.

CeCe took a deep breath; "Well I wanna try something new out here, a little experiment. Something I can't really do around all of our other friends at home…"

"What is this 'something new' you want to try?"

"I want to date someone out here.." CeCe said timidly and Rocky threw a pillow at her friend.

"Is that all?! We fly all the way out to California, with me sitting next to some creepy business guy that kept leering at me, just so you could date some random guy from California? I can't believe you dragged me all the way out here for something so stupid Cecelia!" Rocky was mad that her best friend would go through all this trouble just to date some guy from another state.

CeCe just shook her head silently and Rocky could see tears forming in the corners of her eyes. Rocky decided that being angry could wait for later. She needed to see what was wrong with her best friend before she flew off the handle again.

Rocky walked over to CeCe's bed and pulled her up into a warm embrace, "What's wrong CeCe? Why are you crying?" Rocky could feel the normally energetic redhead trembling and silently crying into her shoulder. Rocky's concern bubbled to the surface as her anger evaporated.

"Come on, tell me what is wrong…you are scaring me CeCe.."

CeCe looked up at her best friend and saw that Rocky would be there to help her with anything she wanted to do, which came at a great comfort to the shot redhead.

"I am not out here to date some guy Rocky….I am more interested in dating some…girl…" The last word was said barely above a whisper. But Rocky heard it clearly.

"That is why you wanted to come out here? You were afraid of what our friends and family back home would think?" CeCe just slowly nodded in response.

Then CeCe said, "This place felt like a safe haven where I could explore what I have been feeling lately. Like I have just been more…taken by how girls look and act lately. And I was afraid of what everyone would think if I ever tried anything. So I planned to come out here and wanted you with me. You are the only person I really trust to give me some of the moral and emotional support I need. Will you please help me?"

Rocky hugged her friend tighter, "You know I would help you any way I can. I mean you have always been there for me, so the least I can do is be there for you."

CeCe whispered a 'thank you' before getting up to clean her face in the bathroom. After she came back both girls started unpacking their clothes and belongings for the two weeks they had for break. Once all the clothes were put away in the various drawers scattered around the room, the girls sat together in bed to discuss what CeCe wanted to do.

"What is a great place to meet some potential girls for me?" CeCe asked Rocky, since she knew CeCe better than CeCe knew herself.

"Well, you are a very outgoing, adventurous, and pretty. And you really love the sun and the water. So the best option would be to head to the beach."

CeCe clapped, "That is a great idea! And even if I don't find someone we can still tan and look great."

The girls laughed as they began changing into their bathing suits. CeCe was wearing a slightly skimpy turquoise two-piece that accentuated her chest and her slender frame. Rocky decided to go with a form fitting one-piece that showed off her taller build. They threw simple sundresses over their suits for their cab ride down to the closest beach.

Once they arrived at the beach, they took off their dresses and made their way to find a suitable spot. They found one near the water with a good selection of good-looking girls around. Rocky and CeCe went into the water and started swimming and splashing around while discreetly checking out the girls around.

"Oh, she looks pretty sexy" Rocky said as she pointed out a nice-looking brunette sitting on her towel near the water. She looked to be at least around their age so she was a possible candidate. That idea fell apart as the girls saw a well-built, dark-skinned guy walk over and planted a kiss on the brunette's lips.

"Dammit, all the pretty ones always have boyfriends." CeCe said as she looked around to see other young heterosexual couples along the beach.

"Come on, don't give up. There must be some cute, curious girls around here looking for someone like you."

The girls made their way back to their belongings and laid out on their towels to soak in the sun. CeCe started to get restless and decided to ask her friend some questions.

"Do you think I am sexy Rocky?"

Rocky blushed slightly at her friend's question. "I do…I mean I am sure you are sexy CeCe. I mean you never had any trouble attracting guys before."

"Well, I am not trying to attract guys this time. I wanna be attractive for girls now. Would you want to date me if we weren't friends?"

Rocky's blush deepened. She couldn't really answer that kind of question. It was just too strange for her to think about. I mean this was her freaking best friend for crying out loud! So she decided to make up some excuse to just get away for a second.

"I need to go to the bathroom…I will be right back in a little bit…" Rocky then got up and scurried off to the bathroom. CeCe looked at her retreating and giggled lightly. Rocky was always so unwilling to answer questions like that. I mean how hard is it to answer that kind of question? CeCe was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she didn't notice there was a person standing next to her.

"Hiya! I noticed your friend ran off and was wondering if everything was alright?"

CeCe jumped slightly and turned to face the personal that started talking to her. The person standing there and leaning over to talk to her was a beautiful girl. She had blazing red hair (obviously dyed) and deep brown eyes that reflected innocence and happiness. She was wearing a pink Hello Kitty two-piece suit that was a little snug around her chest, which was fairly large for someone her size. CeCe was momentarily speechless as she looked at this cute girl that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

The mystery girl giggled, "Are you okay? Your face is getting really red!"

CeCe's blushed deepened "I am fine. It is nice that you are asking. And my friend had to run to the bathroom, so she says."

The girl say down next to CeCe and began to giggle more, "I think she was embarrassed by what you were asking her!" The girl was bouncing around while sitting. CeCe wondered how someone so small seemed so full of spastic energy. Then she realized this girl must have heard what her and Rocky were talking about.

"So you heard what we said…?" CeCe asked, her voice a little more shaky then she would have liked.

The girl nodded rapidly, "Yep! It reminded me a lot of me talking to my friends Jade and Tori! They always get weird when I ask them if they would date me. Weird like the time my brother kept hiding from a squirrel that he claimed professed its love for him!"

CeCe was shocked by how open this girl was being with her. I mean they just met and here she was saying that she was asking her friends questions similar to what she asked Rocky. Who was this girl? Why was she so forthcoming with someone she ust met?

"So...they didn't give you an answer either?"

The bubbly redhead shook her head, "Nope, they said it was too weird to answer. Which is a shame since they are both really pretty. Just like you are really pretty!"

CeCe felt the burning sensation of a blush spread across her cheeks again. This girl thought she was pretty? Is that why she came over to talk?

"I…thank you. You are really pretty yourself." CeCe said with a bit of hesitation.

"Yay!" the girl rushed over to give CeCe a backbreaking hug. CeCe was surprised but then started to enjoy the feeling of this girl pressed against her, their breasts rubbing against each other's and the feeling of her soft skin against her own.

CeCe broke the embrace, "Not that I didn't enjoy that, but we don't even know each other's names. My name is Cecelia Jones but my friends call me CeCe." CeCe extended her hand out for a handshake.

The girls grasped her had and shook it enthusiastically, "Nice to meet you CeCe! My name is Caterina Valentine, but all my friends call me Cat."

"It is nice to meet you too Cat."

A/N: Alright, I know this is a lot later than I promised, but I had some computer troubles so there was nothing I could do. But here it is, my attempt at a crossover with a great amount of input and ideas from Guns and Roses Galore. So in reality, it is his story too even if I am the one writing it, so give him credit too! I will try to update this story and my Catorade story at least once a week. Hopefully no more computer problems for me!
