Tropical Friends: Chapter 1: Paradise Here We Come!
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why
Sky danced around in her bedroom, lifting her neon pink hairbrush to her lips and singing the song with Billy Joel on her stereo. She was extremely happy today, especially since she had great news for her best friends...and boyfriend!
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Benny slicked his hair in the shower, swiping his wet hair to the beat as he turned off the water and climbed out, pulling a tower to cover himself. He smiled as steam surrounded him, his hair half wet now.
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
Sky smiled as she danced around her room, getting a pair of shorts and a bright t-shirt to match her mood. She was so happy right now, and the sun was shining. The birds were singing! And so was she.
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
Benny smiled as he used his comb and brushed his frazzled and wet hair. He dried it too, and danced out, bringing his iPod with him along with his speakers. He nodded his head to the beat as he slid into his room, dancing. First date jitters...ish. Sky wanted to see him today, and he couldn't help but feel...excited.
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Sky sung the lyrics to the upbeat song, and she hit all the notes with a bang. She was clearly having fun as she tied her hair in a high ponytail. She looked pretty sexy if she had anything to say about it. Heck, she was so arrogant that if she were a dude, she would date herself. Sky laughed at the thought as she got her bag, stuffing the tickets neatly in her pocket, and walked out her room, smiling.
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
Benny threw on some shorts and a khaki shirt that he got from his grandma for his summer present, and danced his way out and about.
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
Sky kissed her parents as she placed the iPod's music on earbuds and danced along to the beat of the drum.
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With and uptown girl
Benny said goodbye to his grandma as he slipped on some headphones. The music blared as he tapped his head to the beat.
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Sky hopped onto her bike and headed towards the gardens, where she knew her friends would be.
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
Benny placed his helmet on his head and biked to the gardens, the song blaring in his eardrums.
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
In fact, they were so distracted that they almost ran into each other. Sky yelped as she crashed onto the soft grass next to the sidewalk, her bike wheel spinning as Benny groaned, rubbing his head.
"So glad I wore a helmet." He moaned. Sky laughed shakily as Benny stood to his feet and lifted Sky to her feet. He sneakily pulled her close and kissed her passionately, among the crash scene. Sky giggled as she kissed him too.
"You tease." She joked. Benny smiled as footsteps were heard behind them. They heard clapping as they turned around. Sky smiled; it was all her friends.
"I can hear the bells now guys." Rory joked. Benny rolled his eyes playfully. "About time we heard them." Erica said with a smirk as Sarah wrapped her arm around Sky.
"Hey girl! Happy summer vacay!" She said, slipping her sunglasses on as Sky nudged her and Erica playfully.
"Agreed my friend! I am so happy; I am friends with graduates! How does it feel to be out of high school?" Sky asked. Sarah shrugged. "Kinda the same as being at high school. Only because I don't have much of a plan." She moped, getting a playful kiss from Ethan. "I hope I am a part of that plan." He joked, brightening her up in an instant as they all walked to Lotta Latte. Sky smiled as they placed orders and sat down. Sky grinned.
"Well, I do have a surprise for all of you." She said happily, digging through her pocket as Rory squealed, sipping his frappuccino as Ethan smiled. "Do go on!" He hinted. Sky smiled as she laid six tickets in front of everyone. Erica frowned. "What is this? Tickets to Single Tear or something?" She asked curiously. Sky smiled. "Closer." She hinted. Benny picked up one of the tickets as his eyes widened.
"Holy...shit...no way!" He said in amazement. Sarah curiously grabbed the ticket on the table as she smiled widely.
"These are six plane tickets for Hawaii! Where did you get this?" She asked curiously. Sky smiled. "I won them at on a radio contest. It was awesome. But my parents talked with all your parents, and guess who is spending these six tickets with?" She asked, wriggling her eyebrows as Erica squealed happily, clapping her hands playfully.
"OMFG WE ARE GOING TO HAWAII!" She exclaimed. Sky smiled at her enthusiastic friend who regained coolness when everyone stared at her. Rory giggled as Sky shrugged.
"I dunno guys. We were all thinking I'd bring my teachers on the trip. But I guess you guys work too!" She said jokingly as Benny hugged his girlfriend, kissing her briefly. Everyone cooed as Sky proposed a toast, and they all clinked their drinks and drank them happily. Ethan smiled. "So how long are we staying?" He asked. Sky smiled.
"I think about two weeks. The radio station is including everything, including first class transportation there and back, food, drinks, pool times, parties, shows, the beach activities, the beach keys to a pretty awesome car, activities and 3 hotel rooms." She listed out. Rory whistled. "Damn. I cannot wait three days." He said slowly. Erica kissed his cheek as Sky continued.
"It is in Waikiki, Honolulu, so I hope you do your research. We leave in three days. Your parents and grandma know everything about it, and I do believe someone has some news to share, eh?" Ethan smiled excitingly as he pulled out a silver key that obviously belonged to a car. He smiled at all his friends, who looked at it in awe. Ethan grinned widely.
"We got our rides to the airport people of the world!" Ethan cheered Rory smiled as he looked at the brochure Sky had handed him. He smiled.
"Huh. We are going to a resort called...The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort, Waikiki" He said, quoting the brochure exactly. He smiled. "Looks fancy." He commented. Sarah squealed in excitement.
"Damn Sky! You are the bestest, awesomest friend we all ever had!" She cheered. Sky smiled as Benny wrapped his arm around Sky.
"Plus boyfriend." He singsonged. Sky smiled fondly at him as she blushed. "I never thought I'd live to see the day Mr. Weir. Remind me to get used to this..." She said dreamily, making Benny smiled as Ethan continued to talk animatedly about their trip.
But Benny and Sky couldn't pay attention, for they were staring deep in each others' eyes, smiling a goofy and lovestruck grin that made each other blush madly. Erica was the one to snap the love birds out of their semi-trance.
"C'mon lovebirds, pay attention. You'll have your own hotel room by the looks of it, so you will have all the time to do...whatever you want." She said, winking. Benny and Sky blushed as everyone laughed.
But in all honesty, sex was all they could think about when Erica mentioned hotel room. They wanted their first time to be pretty amazing, and maybe it could happen in paradise...
"Ew guys. You are disgusting!" Ethan said, grossed out. Sky rose an eyebrow as Benny frowned in confusion. Ethan grinned. "Telepath. Can read minds, remember?" He reminded. Sky and Benny madly blushed as Rory smirked.
"Oh yeah? What am I think about right now." He said. Ethan frowned. "Sex with Erica on Christmas." He said slowly. Now it was Erica and Rory's turn to blush as everyone laughed. Sarah smiled.
"This is certainly going to be the best trip ever." She said happily. Ethan nodded as he wrapped his hand around his lover's shoulder and laughed, looking at his friends.
"Damn straight." Ethan cheered, rushing to hug all his friends in a hurry. Rory grinned. "This is going to be so awesome! I have so much stories about Hawaii! We can go around a campfire, we could jam out to music, we could relax under the starry nights on the beach, we could kiss!" He pointed out. Erica smiled as she nodded.
"He's right. We had such a hell of a year, the least this radio station could do is give us a free trip to paradise!" She said, shrugging. Sky smiled.
"Yeah! This is amazing. I wouldn't hang out with anyone else my friend! I love you guys!" She squealed, hugging everyone tightly as they exited the coffee shop. Ethan smiled fondly at all his friends.
"So our flight is at 2 pm and will last about 11 and a half hours. We will end at 1 am by the looks of it, and we will be at the hotel on Sunday. We leave Saturday. Today is Wednesday. We have three days." He informed. Erica rolled her eyes. "Thanks for the update Captain Obvious. We will be there." She said to Sky. Sky squealed.
"Awesome! I am going to go home and pack. Adios!" She yelled. Benny grinned as they all separated, Benny sticking by his girlfriend's side as a smile crept on his face.
"You really wanna have sex on this trip?" He asked jokingly.
"Do you?"
"Maybe."
"Well, I keep a surprise."
"I am packing condoms anyway." He joked, making Sky smile as she went to her house, a smile on her face.
It was 10 am on a sunny Saturday, and Sky, Erica, Sarah, Rory, Benny and Ethan met at Benny's house. Ethan's car was parked outside the house as everyone said their goodbyes to their parents.
"Call me if anything goes wrong sweetie!" Sky's mom cooed. Sky nodded she kissed her mom and dad.
"Don't turn the ocean to a tsunami." Evelyn warned. Benny nodded jokingly. "I'll try not to." He said happily, earning a kiss from Evelyn.
Erica, Sarah, Ethan, and Rory said goodbye to their parents too as they hopped in the car and drove off.
Ethan rolled down the hood of the car as he drove on the highway, that luckily wasn't so busy. Ethan smiled as music played from the radio. Sarah smiled as she extended her arms out in the open air as she slid her sunglasses off.
"I am surprised there are six seats in here." Erica commented. Ethan smiled as he put his own Ray Ban sunglasses on. "Where else would I go without my friends anyway? My dad got a pretty good deal since his job revolves around cars and insurance." He said, shrugging nonchalantly. Sky smiled as she threw her hands up, cruising in Ethan's awesome convertible.
"I still think this is as badass as we are ever gonna be." She said happily. Ethan shrugged. "I agree." He said, getting a laugh from everyone. Suddenly, a familiar song was played on the radio as Benny grinned.
"Turn it up E! This is my jam!" He cheered happily. Ethan smiled as Rory nodded. "This is the song you jam out to in your car!" He yelled over the wind as Ethan blared the speakers.
"Just a small town girl!" Benny sang, belting out the lyrics. Sky smiled as she pumped her fist in the air. "Livin' in a lonely world!" She sang happily. Rory pretended to air guitar the whole thing as Ethan desperately tried to not sing. But he couldn't help it as he turned onto a mountain highway.
"She took the midnight train! Goin' anywhere" He sang happily. Erica smiled as she belted out the song as well. "Just a city boy! Born and raised South Detroit!" Rory smiled as he sang along with his girlfriend in the back seat. "He took the midnight train, goin' anywhere!" He said, raising the notes as the teens all jammed out to the familiar Journey song. The guitar solo was pro as Rory swore to himself he would figure out how to do this.
"A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on!" They all sang together as Ethan carefully rode off the mountain and onto another highway, seeing the airport sign just ahead.
"Strangers waiting" Sky sang happily.
"Up and down the boulevard" Benny answered his girlfriend happily.
"Their shadows searching! In the night" They sang happily. Sarah and Ethan grinned.
"Streetlight people! Livin' just to find emotion" They sang at the top of their lungs as Rory grinned with Erica.
"Hidin' somewhere in the night!" They held the note perfectly as the guitar filled in again, singing resuming.
"Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on"
Benny air drummed as Rory played the air guitar. Sarah laughed as Ethan turned to find a parking in the airport. He eventually caught sight of one as he drove around the town, listening to his friends fool around in the car.
"Strangers waiting" Sky sang.
"Up and down the boulevard!" Benny answered in song.
"Their shadows searching in the night!" Ethan sang too.
"Streetlight people" Rory belted out.
"Livin' just to find emotion!" Erica sang with her boyfriend. Sarah smiled in the passenger seat as she wrapped her hands around Ethan.
"Hidin' somewhere in the night!" She held the note as everyone smiled, jamming to the guitar musical interlude. The last part they sang together, smiling as Ethan slowly parked in the driveway.
"Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people!"
The song faded off as Ethan lowered the volume and everyone cheered, hopping out of the car in clear happiness. Sky smiled.
"Best. Car ride. Ever!" She cheered, making everyone smile. Erica grinned as she checked the time. "Okay gang, it is 10:30 am. We can check in, go through bullshit security and maybe get a Starbucks or something!" She said excitingly. Rory shrugged. "I'm cool for a double chocolatey chip frappe!" He said ecstatically. Benny whooped as he unloaded the suitcases with Sarah and they made their way into the airport, smiles written on their face.
They did everything Erica had said; check in, go through a very long security process, and got a Starbucks. They ended up boarding at 1:15 pm and their flight did begin at 2 as promised. The six teens were cruising on first class, smiling as Ethan scrolled through the movies they had.
"Damn! They have Avengers, Lego Movie, Tangled, some show about penguins...oh that's Happy Feet. They have the Hunger Games too...this is actually a pretty good list of movies for first class!" Rory smiled.
"I say this is the perfect start to a great adventure." He said, kinda quoting his great grandfather. Sarah laughed as they plugged in their headphones and took off, smiling as they ventured into the air.
*Airplane antics!*
Rory silently groaned as he sighed, huffing in annoyance as Erica, who was beside him, sighed.
"What's wrong honey?" She asked sweetly. "Everything alright?" Rory sighed as he looked back to see a child, angrily kicking the seat. He slumped down and sighed.
"Even on first class, their is always that kid who kicks your seat." He said. Erica laughed as she snuggled against the other blonde vampire, smiling all the way.
...
Ethan sniffled a bit as Sarah frowned. "Ethan...are you crying?" She asked as Titanic finished off. He shook his head.
"He had to let go!" He wailed, crying. "WHY JACK! WHY?!" Sarah smiled at her boyfriend's humorous antics as she nudged him softly, making him blush and smile like he always did around Sarah. He grinned; maybe sad movies are worth watching.
...
Sky and Benny cheered as Iron Man wasn't affected by Loki's staff.
"Beat that bitch!" Benny cheered. Sky nodded. "Iron Man ain't nothing against you!" She cheered along, laughing at all the puns and smiling at all the actions scenes.
...
Ethan was crying hysterically now as the Notebook finished. Ethan sniffed.
"T-They died...t-t-together, and basically they grew old without her knowing about who he was! Then she remembered, then she didn't, then she did! And they were together again! S-So sweet!" He gushed, tears running down his cheeks as he wiped them off discreetly. Sarah smiled.
"You are so manly Ethan." She said happily, stroking his abs as Ethan blushed.
...
Rory was the first to taste the airplane food because of a dare from Sky. No one liked airplane food, so it was no surprise that Rory bit into the "tuna surprise" and chewed it, automatically turning green to rush to the washroom.
...
Sky and Benny snuggled against each other as they finished off the The Wedding Ringers. Sky wiped the tears of laughter as Ethan smiled.
"That movie is hilarious." He concluded, just finishing the movie too. Sarah yawned a bit as she checked the time.
"It is 10 pm. We arrive there at 1, so I suggest getting some sleep because we'd still have to check in." She informed. Erica and Rory were already ahead of them as they slept [more like meditated] softly. Ethan dimmed their lights as he and Sarah got some sleep.
Benny and Sky sat in the dark, listening to the same song tiredly. They shared ear buds as Sky rested her head on Benny's shoulder.
"I love you babe." She whispered, yawning as Benny kissed her blonde hair.
"Love you too." He whispered back.
Sky felt the smile on her face as she finally drifted into dreamland, able to sleep peacefully as the plane zoomed on.
The plane finally landed in Waikiki a few hours later, at exactly 1:35 am. Everyone slowly woke up as Benny groaned.
"I am soooo tired." He complained. Sky yawned as she shuffled down the aisle to get her stuff. "Me too. I am so lucky that we are getting a shuttle bust to the resort. Our own, private shuttle bus." Erica smiled. "Damn girl, you got lucky with this trip to Hawaii!" She said happily. Rory nodded as Ethan threw on his hoodie, placing the hood on his frazzled bedhead. Sarah drank the coffee that was given out on the plane ride as they exited the plane, going through the regular airplane security stuff and the regulations.
When they boarded the shuttle bus, they slept a bit, Sky watching all the palm trees zip past. The starry sky helped her relax as she saw her sleeping boyfriend, snuggling beside her. He was really passed out.
About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the The Royal Hawaiian, the resort they were to go to. Sky looked at it in awe; it was pink and palm trees surrounded it. It was beautiful, Sky knowing how awesome this was going to be. She was definitely ending up going to the beach half the time.
"Sky? C'mon. Wake B up and we got to get going. I'll check in." Sky smiled at Ethan as she handed him the paperwork and stuff. "Thanks E. Remember to say we were the Radio Starlight winners. Under the name Sky Bryans. I'll come there as soon as I get there." She promised, Ethan nodding as he went off with Sarah, Erica and Rory.
Sky slowly woke up Benny, who stirred a bit. "We here?" He asked, yawning as he rubbed his hair. Sky smiled. "Yeah babe. C'mon. You can sleep on a bed when we get there." She promised. Benny wearily nodded as he staggered out, going with his friends to check in.
Sky and Benny arrived in their hotel room, saying goodnight to Ethan and Sarah. Benny automatically passed out on the bed, sleeping like a baby. Sky laughed as she snuggled right beside him, condoms accidentally falling out of her bag. She blushed as she stuff them in and snuggled beside Benny, stroking his hair.
"Goodnight." She mumbled. Benny nodded, his eyes still closed. "G'night." He whispered.
And soon enough, Sky fell asleep too, her mind drifting to one thing.
This was the start to a great adventure.
A/N- This is going to be so awesome! Are you excited? I AM!
