Okay! I felt like writing a summer story and this idea came to mind. I hope you guys like this little tale. It's a beach tale, so I hope I do a good job with physical descriptions

DoA Xtreme- Stealing my sunshine

Chapter 1: Payback and Deception

"I'm so sick of this!" Niki pouted. She crossed her arms to show her irritation.

"Sick of what baby?" Zack asked looking up from a stack of unsigned invitations.

"You only invite girls to this island. It's starting to piss me off."

"Oh Sweety. You know you are always my number one ." Zak said slinging his arm over his girl.

"Prove it."

That left Zack stunned. It seemed that she meant business.

"How so baby? You name and it's your. Anything you want."

"Let me invite some people. As many as I want."

"A couple of friends? "

"Yeah. But you'll see."

The man had some trouble finding it, but there before this daunted postman, was the tower of the Hayabusa Village. He cleared his throat, stood up strait and removed his rice hat before knocking on the door. It was opened by a young woman, no doubt the greeter.

He handed her a parchment envelop with a glitter star sticker as the seal. Sprawled in glossy black ink in a feminine calligraphy, the face of the envelope read "To Ryu Hayabusa."

The cart ran through the village handing out packages and letters to beloved ones. Ayane strolled through the street, wondering hoe she could waste time before it got cool enough to train. She tugged on the collar of her shirt in an attempt to cool her off. That's when she noticed the eye of the postman."Great. A pervert." She thought. Rolling her eyes, she began to walk away.

"Ms. Ayane! I have some letters for you!" The man called. Ayane continued to walk away in disbelif, until he ran up to her with two envelopes in hand.

"Here you are Ms." He said with a deep bow. Sure enough two envelopes were clenched gently in his hand.

One read : Ayane

While the other was in a pink and pastel polka dot envelope with a heart shaped sticker sealing it.

It read: Hayate.

Jan Lee looked at the lime green envelope in a questioning manner. Curious he tore the smiley sticker lightly and read it silently to himself.

Jan Lee,

You are cordially invited to spend a month on zack island, in honor of The Anniversary of the DoAtec Corporation downfall, as well as the Birthday of Zack. We hope you choose to attened, as someone precious to has also been invited..."

Ryu scanned the letter inside. He wasn't really taking it seriously until it started sounding like a hostage note. There were in fact several people who could have been captured.

"Your plane ticket has been paid for, and departure time is June 15th at 6:00 pm, Eastern standard time. We hope to see you there."

"I guess it's a good thing I know how to tell time from US standards...how troublesome."

He left his almost blankly decorated room to tell his father that he would be gone for his birthday. At least that was a good excuse for a rescue mission. Joe was telling him that he deserved to relax a little.

Hayate was also puzzled by the strange invitation. Ayane laughed at her own.

"Don't worry . It's nothing serious. He's done this twice before."

"But hasn't he only invited woman before?"

"Look at your envelope. I'm pretty sure someone else..oh let's say a girl sent you that. We might as well go. It actually turned out to be some fun. Besiudes, if it roles out like it did last year, we'll see some friends. Chances are Master Ryu got one to, and someone like him is probably going play it safe and see if someone important to him really is in danger."

"It is his birthday isn't it? Perhaps, we should go."

June 15,

People everywhere. Hitomi looked on her ticket and back up at her seat.

"Found it!" She cheered. She slid a headphone bud into her ear while asking herself, "Why did I accept his stupid invite?" . She shook it off. Now instead of worrying about fighting, she could party. Like so many of the other DoA contenders she knew, she didn't like DoAtec that much.

"Um Excuse me. May I sit?" Someone said. She pulled out her left bud and looked up at the person before her.

"Hey! I know you! Your Elliot right?!" She said.

Elliot took his seat.

"Yeah. Your Hitomi right?"

"What are you doing on this plane? "

"I got an invite just like you."

He shyly pulled out a milky pink envelope and showed it to Hitomi.

"I guess guys are comin to."

The plane soon filled with familiar faces. Some greeted each other, others stayed away. Kasumi, Ryu, Lei Fang, even Bayman and Christie were there. No one knew how fights didn't break out, but they all looked pretty tired.

Ryu didn't looked bothered by any thing. Lei Fang smiled as she passed by him.

"Hey Happy birthday!" She said.

"Thank you."

Kasumi looked over at him from across the aisle.

"Happy birthday."

"Thanks."

Ayane and Hayate were glad they sat next to Ryu. At elast they wouldn't have to be one their toes.

"Happy-"

"Thanks."

He didn't know it, but he was about to play right into his father's request to "relax a little" Than again , it was unknwon why the girls, nor Hayate (who already knew) told anyone else what was really going on.
