Oh Jesus... I got the idea for this a while back when I realized how Spenser and Joel were kind of hinted at as a pairing. So my other story, Like A Child, I went back and read the reviews today... OH MY GOD, I blushed so hard and laughed and giggled and felt good because of you guys. It felt good to be happy after going off on... Some other depressing shit. Yeah. But you reviewers made me feel really good. So I hope you seven are cool with lemon? Because this was intended to be a four chapter JoelxSpenser with lemon. I do hope thats okay. Yeah. This chapter just has fluff, Lemon shouldn't start until chapter three... So, yeah. I hope you all like this~!
Disclaimer: I really hope you don't believe that Pokemon is mine... I'm really not that smart or awesome. Okay, maybe I am... No, JK XD
It was a peaceful day out at Summerland, a nice summers day, perfect for vacation. Wait a minute, isn't it always summer out there? Well... Yeah... I guess... Anyway, Lunick had been sent there on vacation, and had met Joel on the way. Shortly after, Spenser had caught up with them, and the three arrived together. Elita was already there, with Cameron.
"Great! the gangs all here! But... where's Solona?" Lunick asked.
"She went to check out the ruins, I think the Go-Rock Squad was seen checking them out again." Cameron explained. "We've tried calling her, but... It seems that she's offline at the moment."
Spenser looked concerned. "Hey, Lunick?"
Lunick glanced at Spenser, who bowed and said "Sorry to call you off of your vacation, but could you go get Solona? It really isn't the same when you two lovebirds aren't together..."
"Eh? L-lovebirds?" Lunick blushed, but turned his back so the ranger leaders wouldn't see. "Y-yeah... I'll go for her..." The bluenette mumbled, waving his hand.
"Thanks, man. I'll keep in touch with you..." Spenser sighed, rubbing his head.
After Lunick left, there was a moment of silence. Percy was the first to talk, pursing his lips and asking, "So... What now?"
"Idunno." Cameron said. Suddenly, Elita lurched forward, covering her face.
"Elita! Are you okay?" Joel asked, rushing over.
"yeah, I'm fine. Can I just get a tissue? I think I have a nosebleed..." The purpled haired woman explained. The lady at the desk handed Joel some tissues, which he handed to Elita. "Thanks."
Cameron laughed. "You always get nosebleeds when you're here."
"Yeah, not being used to warm temperatures doesn't help much." Elita replied. The icy chill was still in her voice, even if she didn't mean it to be.
"God, it's hot out..." Joel sighed. He stripped of his jacket and unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt.
"Ditto." Spenser said, taking his jacket off as well.
Behind the elevator, Percy and Leilani were on a specific mission from Cameron. Leilani, being the yaoi obsessed fangirl she was, had pointed out a light blush dusting Spenser's cheeks when Joel started unbuttoning his shirt.
"Cameron was right!" Leilani giggled. "He DOES have a thing for Joel!"
Percy grimaced. "I just hope those two don't kill us when they find out we've been spying..."
After a little while, Cameron suggested a Marine Challenge.
"No..." Spenser groaned, slumping on a table. His shirt was half opened, his jacket, gloves, and headband discarded. "Shit, I should've dressed more appropriately..."
"Well said." Elita sighed from her place on the floor. She had stripped down to her undershirt (just a loose fitting sleeveless tee that showed off her stomach) and pants. Even her shoes were gone. She wiped some more blood away from her nose.
"Oh my god, how do you stand this HEAT, Cameron?" Joel asked, throwing his head back to air out his neck and jaw. Spenser watched secretly, and was holding back glomping the other ranger. Hiding the crush on him was hard, but seeing Joel shirtless, with his neck exposed, and groaning was over the top excruciating.
"Ha ha, it can't be that bad..." Cameron laughed.
"IT IS." The three groaned in unison.
"AH HA HA!" Cameron gave a hearty laugh. "Oh! I get why it's so hot to you three! It's because the air conditioner's broken, huh?"
"WHAT?" Joel out right screamed, jerking upward.
"BROKEN?" Elita shrieked, sitting on her hip and thigh.
"CAMERON! Elita, Joel, and I just had SEVEN different nosebleeds in the last ten minutes, and you tell us NOW?" Spenser yelled, standing. Some blood leaked from his nose and he wiped it away with a tissue. "Eight..."
"Sorry. It slipped my mind." Cameron said, rubbing his auburn hair. Though the real reason it was off was part of his plan to hook Spenser and Joel up. Spenser's crush was SO obvious, Cameron was surprised Joel hadn't noticed. Sadly, Elita just got caught in the cross fire, poor girl...
"Hey, we've got some spare swimsuits and towels, you could go and cool off outside." The receptionist said, pulling a box of swimsuits seemingly out of nowhere. Obviously, she was in on this as well.
The three dying rangers shot up, a gleam in their eye. "REALLY? Oh, thank you, great receptionist!" They cried, bowing repeatedly. After digging trough the box and getting changed, they headed outside.
"Geeze, four in the afternoon... Solona's been gone for three hours now..." Spenser said as they got outside. Just as he finished, his styler received a voicemail. "Speak of the devil..."
"Spenser! It's Lunick and Solona. We've been searching around the ruins and jungle. I Think were gonna stay here for the night. Alright, later!" *click*
"I hope they don't get attacked by wild pokemon..." Joel chuckled, pulling his glasses off.
"Or maybe they've reached That Special Time in their lives." Cameron mused out loud. Cameron was floating on his back, probably on one of those mattress floats.
"Hey, I thought you couldn't see without your glasses." Elita asked from her inner tube.
"That's what every one says..." Joel muttered, making a face.
"Well i didn't know you had contacts that time, either." Spenser said, standing with his hands on his hips next to Joel.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Hey..." Joel started. Spenser glanced at him, before getting a jet of salty water sprayed in his face. "Look what I found!"
"Oh, it's on!" Spenser met Joel's pretty blue eyes, ducking the next spray of water. In a fast movement, he ducked and grabbed the other gun, filling it with water and shooting at Joel. This went on for a good thirty minutes, Cameron and Elita too transfixed to look anywhere else. Eventually, the two had resorted to a childish match of pinning each other, which got them in some pretty weird positions. Joel had won though, effectively pinning Spenser's hands above his head and placing a leg between his. Somehow, he had managed to pin Spenser's free foot as well, Elita noted.
"I won." Joel whispered, leaning a little closer. Spenser gulped, red dusting his cheeks.
"Y-yeah. Could y-you get off of me n-now?" Spenser asked, failing miserably at the art of straight speaking.
"Heh, sorry..." Joel smiled, getting up and offering spenser his hand. Spenser took it, hoisting himself up.
"Well, look at the time, almost five already!" Elita saved the two from a very awkward moment.
"Y-yeah. The sun's almost setting." Spenser said, smiling apologetically.
"We three should probably get back to the bases, huh?" Joel asked as Cameron and Elita crawled out of the water.
"Ya'll could stay the night." Cameron offered, but mostly to Joel and Spenser.
Finally, Elita caught on. "Nah. I better go. I need my beauty sleep." 'I don't need to hear screaming if his plan is successful...' she thought.
"Oh. Alright then. Thanks for coming Elita!" Cameron laughed, waving as she returned to the base. "You two?"
"My rangers are still here. I kinda need to stay." Spenser sighed.
"Eh, I can head back tomorrow. I'll stay." Joel said, slipping his glasses back on. "Not to mention my fear of fucking heights..."
"Okay. That's Great! My plan-" Cameron cut himself off.
"Plan? What are you talking about?" Joel raised his eyebrow.
"OH! N-nothing! Nothing at all!" Cameron sweat dropped. 'Oh, shit, that was close...'
The three were back in time to bid farewell to Elita, and still had time to eat and take showers. Cameron collected the data from Percy and Leilani on what they saw, and with that, hatched another plan. Oh, playing match-maker was so sadistically sweet.
I love Cameron now. Did you know his name is Constantino in Italy? And In Spanish, Spenser's is "Alejandro". XD Cue Lady GaGa... No, anyway... Okay, yeah, a few things... I figured Joel was afraid of heights because he was the only leader with a land-based partner... Relate to Like A Child, I mentioned it in there too. So yeah... Thanks for reading.
