DISCLAIMER: I do not own Hot Wheels or Battle Force 5. Also, sorry to InvaderLuver, because I know she wrote a hotel story too. NOT COPIED I've just had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while.
The team drove into the garage.
"Nice work, guys!" Vert said, the Battle Key on the front of his car. Everyone dismounted from their vehicles when Sage walked out of the elevator doors.
"I apologize for the inconvenience, team, but the Hub is currently inhabitable." Sage said apologetically.
"Big words hurt my brain." Stanford moaned. Agura snorted.
"She means that we won't be able to live in the Hub." Sherman explained.
"What?" Spinner exclaimed. "My video games are in the Hub!"
"I am sorry." Sage began. "I was experimenting with a weapon to aid us in the war. Unfortunately, it malfunctioned and damaged the Hub. Your rooms are not accessible and the Hub is structurally unsafe. It will take a few days to repair."
"So, where are we supposed to stay?" Stanford asked. "I'm high-maintenance!"
"OOH! Can we stay in that new hotel? You know, the one with the waterpark? It's their Grand Opening, so they're having a special where if you stay in a suite you get FREE breakfast!" Spinner said excitedly.
"Dude, lots of hotels have free breakfast!" Zoom said.
"No, free ROOM SERVICE BREAKFAST." Spinner said with meaning. AJ's eyes grew wide.
"I LOVE room service! Can we go, Vert? Please please please please please?" He and Spinner begged Vert.
"Alright guys!" Vert laughed. "Spinner, do you know how many beds are in each suite?"
"Two beds, a pullout couch and a master bathroom." The young Cortez replied immediately, then blushed as the others laughed. "What? I've done my research!"
"Okay, we probably need two conjoined suites then, unless two people want to sleep on the floor?" Vert looked around for volunteers. No one offered.
"Then it is settled." Sage confirmed.
"AWESOME!" AJ high-fived Spinner.
"Wait, what about Stormshocks? Or the Reds?" Vert asked Sage.
"There has been a lull in Stormshock activity, and I will take precautionary measures and be extra-vigilant. If a situation arises, I will contact you immediately."
"Will you be okay? What if Krytus tries to contact you? What if-"
"Vert! I will be fine." Sage stopped the leader mid-panic.
"Alright. Let's go guys!" Spinner said, already in the Buster.
"Wait, how will we get our swimsuits and stuff?" asked Sherman, always the voice of reason.
"I have made preparations for that." Sage said. She handed them each a suitcase and several twenty dollar bills. (A/N: I always assumed this was how they got their money because it's not like they have jobs.)
"Shopping Spree!" Stanford yelled.
"You have to eat too, Stanford." Agura reminded him.
"Meh. I'll just order lots of muffins for breakfast and stash them in my cheeks!" He puffed out his cheeks, making everyone laugh.
"Let's get going guys. We're gonna have to buy new swimsuits and check in before we get to swim." Vert said. Everyone clamored to their vehicles and drove off.
At the Store:
The team walked into the department store and headed for the swimsuit department. The guys and Agura were about to split up when Stanford joked "Let me know if you need any help picking a swimsuit, love!"
"Let me know if you need help finding a girl who will actually be attracted to your pick-up lines, LOVE!" Agura called sweetly and walked off.
"Buurrrrrnn!" Spinner said.
"Hmph." Stanford responded. The guys looked around for a while. Vert noticed that Tezz wasn't buying anything.
"Tezz? Need some help?" He asked.
"I do not find swimming amusing, and would prefer to stay in my room and work on my gauntlet." Tezz responded coolly, gesturing to his suitcase.
"Alright, but are you sure you don't want to buy something? Just in case?" Vert asked. Tezz sighed and randomly grabbed a pair of swim trunks. "Never mind." Vert gave up. After everybody was done, they left the store and went to the hotel.
In the Lobby:
"Woah!" Spinner exclaimed as he looked up at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, then to the gas fireplace and around the expensively decorated room.
"Just be cool." Sherman muttered out of the side of his mouth as they walked up to the front desk.
"Hello, and welcome to Country Springs Hotel! How may I help you?" The perky blonde behind the desk scanned the group of teenagers disapprovingly, and the smile became slightly more fake. Vert stepped forward.
"Uh, yeah, we want to stay here.." He trailed off, and the 30-something lady sighed.
Agura sighed and stepped forward. "Hi." She returned the fake smile. "Can we get two conjoined suites and eight waterpark passes please? Also, if you could give us a few extra room keys, that'd be great." The secretary seemed taken aback by her professional air.
"Yes, of course." The lady punched a few buttons into the register and handed them a few room keys. "You'll be staying in rooms 3114 and 3116. Checkout is at 11:00."
"Thanks. Let's go boys." Agura said, and lead them to their room.
"How'd you do that?" Spinner asked.
"Do what?" She responded, walking quickly down the hall.
"Be all professional and…stuff."
"It's not that hard." She laughed and Vert elbowed her.
"It could be hard! You know, for someone without experience!" He blushed. She laughed and opened 3114.
"Okay, we need to split up in two groups of four." She said.
"I'm with Vert!" Zoom yelled, running to his "big brother". AJ went too.
"We want Agura!" Vert said, and grabbed the Huntress' waist.
She smacked him and laughed. "You do realize I'm not sleeping with any of you, right?"
"You guys can have her!" Vert joked, but didn't release his hand from her waist. Agura didn't want to room with Stanford or Spinner anyway, and was glad to stay.
"That leaves the fun room! And Tezz." Spinner joked and ran to 3116. Agura handed Sherman two room keys.
"You might want to hang onto these…BOTH of them." She said.
Sherman, Stanford and Tezz left for the "Fun Room."
