Chapter 1
"Na-Na-Na everyday got my IPod stuck on replay-ay-ay-ay…" Dan was getting fed up with Nellie's off-tune singing. It didn't help that next to him, Amy was whispering to herself 'checkmate' and sighing as if she were still playing chess with Kurt. Sometimes he'd start to wonder if she even realized that she was still on the plane. Dan sighed, feeling so aggravated. He knew that Amy still liked Ian, but now that she seemed to like Kurt better, he sometime wondered if Amy could be a playgirl now. "Love is so lame." Dan said to himself.
Dan, bored out of his mind, was spacing out in the plane. He looked around and searched for things that might take his boredom away. His eyes widened and his heart skipped beats as if he saw a ghost. For the first time in his life, it was a girl who captured his attention (instead of a video game). The girl was around his age, wearing a pretty summer dress that suited her butter colored skin perfectly; she had platinum hair that was done in a messy braid hanging over the side. Dan never expected this to happen, it was the last thing he would write in his 'list of possibilities', since he thought that Love was lame. Though he got tons of girl admirers, he never paid much attention to them. This was the first time that he did. "Scratch that out, what I just said; Love is awesome!" Dan thought.
Dan followed the girl with a gaze and the girl seemed to have noticed it, so she looked at him. Dan panicked and accidentally knocked off Nellie's Diet Coke as he turned away. He felt his face burning in embarrassment.
"What's wrong with you?" Nellie complained and snatched her IPod as fast as she could to avoid it from getting wet and damaged. The girl giggled and left towards the restroom. But Dan was too smart not to realize his own feelings. He covered his face with his hand.
"Wait…I'm not going to end up like Amy!" he exclaimed getting everyone's attention in the plane, even Amy who was in La La Land.
"What did you say?" Nellie asked while taking off her earphones. She twitched when Dan suddenly panicking over something.
"I don't like the girl with the prettiest platinum hair I've ever seen, who has those crystal blue eyes that seems to shine like the stars in the night, and the butter colored skin that looked so flawless, and her smile that melts the heart of the one who would see it. And I'm not turning like Amy, that girl is seriously not my type." He nervously blurted out and Nellie raised a brow, actually sensing what Dan meant.
"Dan, you're going nuts, and I didn't even ask about it! But about the information you just randomly said shows that she's totally your type," She pointed out. But Dan could hardly believe what was happening to his heart, it would be too crazy to believe. "Anyway, you almost broke my IPod!" Nellie snapped.
"Good luck on making her go out with you!" Amy said dreamingly, like half of her thoughts are in the plane and half of it is still stuck in Africa, with Kurt. Dan leaned to the seat in front of him and trying to think about something else that could distract him from thinking about her. But having a photographic memory didn't help him at all this time. The girl's face kept on flashing on his head until the plane finally landed to Japan. Dan kept looking down to avoid seeing the girl and it was kind of a success. Then he bumped into someone.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Dan said and looked up. He was stunned to see who was in front of him. A guy about 6'2 in height, had Brown hair, tan skin, and caramel-colored eyes. It was Kurt.
"Hey there!" Kurt said and looked mostly at Amy, whose face looked like she just saw a ghost.
"W-What are you doing here?" Amy asked with a crocked voice. Kurt smiled.
"The choir is having a concert here. Someone actually found our choir while having a vacation in Africa. So, yeah…we're here now! And it's nice to see you guys here." Kurt said, his eyes stuck on Amy. "So, you're having a vacation here?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's like our second time here. And the first was really bad." Nellie replied, recalling everything that happened when the Kabra's kidnapped her.
"Well, I'm sure you're going to have lots of fun this time. Want to hang out sometime?" Kurt asked, wistfully. Still eyes on Amy, whose eyes, were also staring at him. "Are they having a staring contest?" Dan thought. "It depends on who's your asking to hang out with you." Nellie pointed out, she's just too straight forward when it came to these things and making a person embarrassed. Dan was a victim a while ago.
"I mean, the four of us should hang out sometime. What hotel are you staying in?" Kurt asked.
"Amai hotel." Amy replied this time. Kurt grinned. "Cool! We're staying there too! Professor Bardsley and the rest of the choir are also," He said energetically.
"You guys want to go there together?" Kurt said, not seemingly paying attention to Nellie and Dan but to Amy only. Then they saw Professor Bardsley waving his hand and he looked so happy seeing them.
"Let's go!" Amy said and stood beside Kurt while Dan and Nellie at the back nodding both their heads confirming that the two were totally in to each other.

They arrived at the hotel and got their reservations confirmed on the costumer service desk. They all went to their own rooms except for Dan, Amy, and Nellie that took a suit in the next floor where the choir was staying. The room was amazing. Their jaws dropped in amazement as they explored the place. Amy took another look in Grace's jewelry box and found a small 24-karat diamond. This place didn't even take a whole lot of money. Amy plopped down her bed and rolled over like a dog. And the reason is not just because of the awesome suit and the diamond, but also because Kurt was unexpectedly there. She squealed while burying her face in the comfortable pillow. Dan just laughed at her. Nellie then went to the bathroom and started singing really off tuned. Dan's brows crocked.
"Oh please! Not again!" Dan complained and hurried for the door. He shut it, finally free from crazy people. Good thing he had money with him. He went to the ground floor and sat on the lounge reading a magazines and drink coke. He glanced up from the magazine and saw a familiar face. He was so astonished that he spit out some coke. The person saw him and smiled, approaching towards him. He looked around; wondering if maybe the person is smiling at someone else.
"It's you!" the girl said as if she'd red his mind. The girl took off her sunglasses and smiled at Dan. "You don't remember me anymore?" she asked, looking disappointed.
"Y-You're the girl in the plane!" Dan finally managed to say something. The girl smiled and held out her hand to shake Dan's.
"I'm Ashley." She said as Dan shook her hand. "Dan," he replied.
"You're cute!" Ashley said and Dan blushed. Then suddenly…
"Ashley!" a familiar voice called out. Dan looked up and saw Natalie coming towards them.
"What the… What is Natalie doing here?" He asked to himself. Then he realized that If Natalie was here then so was Ian. And Ashley seems to hear it.
"Oh! You know her?" Ashley asked, and Dan nodded. "Natalie is my best friend." She replied. Dan chocked this time on the coke. While Ashley astonished him, Natalie seemed to astonish him more. Only one thing registered in his mind. The Cobras are here.
