Notes:
Okay, just to let everyone know, I do know there is a character already named Emma. But, I really love that name and was weirded out when I watched the show. I kinda thought that name was unpopular, until recently. I figured, why let that stand in my way?
This is my own set of Stoked characters, mixed with the original characters as well. Some of my fav (real) Stoked characters will be in it for sure: Johnny, Ty, Reef and probably some more as soon as I can get more of their personality locked down.
I certainly hope people will love this fanfiction and I will try my best on it and make it very good to read!

Arrival
"Paradise Resort?" asked the girl with light hazel eyes and chocolate hair. Her father nodded as he rubbed his bearded chin, reading the plan tickets. Emma frowned, swallowing. "I have to take a plan?" he sighed as he put the tickets down.
"Sì, Emma. You've been glum since we moved to this hotel, I don't understand what's wrong with you. I'm sure a while with your brothers will clear that up...I've already called them and they are glad you're coming. So don't try to get out of it. I've payed for a room, but let me tell you ahead of time, its not one of the best rooms. I thought you'd enjoy having to work to get a better room." he smiled at her with his big blue eyes and laughed at her pale face.
"Don't worry, Emma. The plan won't crash."
"I wasn't thinking that! Now I am..." she sighed. He patted her back.
"Don't worry, Em. I'm sure you'll love it there. You're brothers do." he cheered, handing her the tickets. "You'll be there quickly, I've made sure of it. I've also had your stuff sent early while you were at work." Emma looked flustered.
"Papa, please don't make me go..." he shook his head and pointed her to the door.
"Hurry up before the plan kicks you off the wait list!"
- - - - - - -
"Say, Gill. When did dad say she was comin'?" Noah asked, clearing room in the guest house. Gill, the tall boy with brown hair laughed.
"Dude, like I can remember." he laughed as he kicked a strip of wood back into place in the wall. Noah itched his chocolate hair and yawned.
"I think dad said she was staying at the outer houses anyway, bro. Let's get to the bus station, she might be." Noah went for his jeep's keys and Gill hurried after him.
- - - - - - -
"Jacob, bro! Over here!" called a red head standing near a blond with green eyes.
"Hey Seth, Claire." he nodded toward the blond, who smiled back gently. "how has it been, Seth? I thought you said you weren't comin' back last summer?" Jacob asked, running his hand through his short black hair, his brown eyes gleaming. Jacob had russet skin from surfing and practicing martial arts on the beach with his friends CJ and Seth. Seth loved cooking more than surfing and martial arts. The boy grinned as he stretched besides Claire.
"Yea? I did? Well, I heard Paradise Resort is hiring some cleans and junk. I'm gonna sign up for sure, bro! Hot girls and good surfing. Claire elbowed him, he coughed. "Cool it, sis! I ain't gonna take that..." he rolled his eyes and laughed. "You gonna try to apply there or not, Jacob? It would be awesome if I had a friend..." Jacob chuckled.
"Last year I did and it ended badly. Besides, I've got a job down shore, remember? I'm helping Gill and MoonDoggie with the board repairs. I make decent money there..." Jacob frowned when Seth laughed, smacking his side.
"Sure, bra. Did you hear about the guy from Italy, dude? I hear he is one of the top Hotels in the world. He stayed a night here with his son when he was eight and loved the place, ironic that his hotel is better....but, he's gonna pay loads of money to the place! Big paychecks for the workers. You should go back, man. You'll enjoy it!" he was dragged away by his sister, Claire. "Well, gotta go and apply for the job! By Jacob!"
Jacob sighed as he headed back down shore, to MoonDoggie's hut.

A dark red jeep (which is the natural way of getting around in B.C) pulled up a dirt road and to a narrow board walk made of old wood. A man in black came out dressed in Italian attire and greased black hair which was pushed backward and opened the side door, walking to the left for the passenger to come out. Out came a young woman with chocolate hair and hazel eyes. She was dressed in a yellow Italian Gianni Versace evening dress, her hair was clipped up by a butterfly pin and two silver bracelets were around her wrists. She smiled sweetly at the man that drove her and muttered something in Italian. He nodded and took all her bags out and laid them down by her feet and than got into the jeep and drove off through the dirt road. The girl frowned as she dragged her bags over to a bench to wait for her brothers.
Within thirty minutes, a green Buggy with yellow stripes shot up the road. Surf boards were locked on top of the Buggy, a flag was attacked to the front, glued to be flat against the metal frame.
The driver was her oldest brother, Noah. The guy in the back with no shirt, she knew it was Gill, her goofy brother. She smiled when they pulled to a stop and laughed, hugging her when they got close enough. Noah laughed, pulling away.
"You smell like mom's old perfume...." it was a compliment, she smiled.
"Thank you, Noah--"
"Ah! Its MoonDoggie here, kay sis?" he ruffled her hair and she narrowed her eyes.
"You're my brother Noah and Derek. I don't want--"
"MoonDoggie and Gill, Em! Jeez." Gill rolled his eyes, laughing as he took her three bags of personal items. "Come on, we're gonna show you your new home for the summer!"
- - - - - - -
The green Buggy (which Emma was told was called "Beetle") slowly stopped in front of a brown hut, which was slouching against a bigger hut. There was a sign that said "Open for Work" on the left of the door. The hut had a name "Outer Shores' Boards". Emma frowned. Her brothers built boards? She was taken to the front door, but wasn't shown in. Noah smiled as he dug through his pockets for a key. He handed it to Emma.
"Here, your key. Gill will take you to your hut in the woods. Don't worry, its not that far away." he laughed at her worried face and was taken away by Gill.
"This?" Emma asked as she was shown a torn hut, which only had three rooms and one bathroom. Gill nodded as he guided her into the house.
"Basically, yeah sis. If you want better, get a job." he laughed at that and she crossed her arms.
"You don't think I can work? Well, Derek -- Gill -- you've missed a lot in the past three years." she looked down and he did too, sad. Gill sighed, hugging Emma.
"I know its been tough, lil Em. Papa has been putting you through torture, huh? I wish mom was there, helping you." he swallowed as he turned to the door. "Well...anyway, there's no food here yet, so when your hungry come back to the main hut and we'll serve you something, okay?" she smiled at him and went to go pick a room out and take all her stuff out.
- - - - - - -
Jacob knocked on the hut's door eight times and waited for someone to answer. MoonDoggie answered, smiling. "Jacob, bra! Been waiting, dude. Come in, come in. We're just about to eat, you hungry?"
Jacob smiled. "Um, yeah, sure. I finished the back boards, MoonDoggie. I can't wait for more..." he said as Noah led him into the kitchen and to the chairs. Jacob paused. Everyday for three years has he never seen three chairs set already; he'd usually have to take an extra chair out himself, he frowned.
"Whose the chair for?" He asked Noah, turning to face him. He shrugged.
"My sister. She came today, something went down back at Italy and my pa sent her here."
Jacob sat down when he was handed a sandwich. "Sister? I didn't know you had a sister...how old is she?" Noah laughed, corking an eye brow at him.
"Why? Interested?" Jacob blushed, shaking his head.
"Nah, just...wondering, ya know?" He bit into the sandwich and frowned. Just then the door opened and Gill came in with a young woman. Jacob's eyes went wide. Wow...
The girl gave Jacob one look before smiling and coming over to sit down, a chair to the left. A plate with a sandwich was given to her. "So, Em, this is Jacob. He's been working for us for three years, since we came here." Noah mentioned as he sat down with Gill. Emma looked at Jacob again and smiled.
"Ciao, Jacob." she smirked innocently at him. "I'm Emma Cuore Haze. Nice to meet you." she lightly bowed her head to him. Jacob felt his hands get sweaty.
"Um, Jacob as you were just told. Haha, um..." Crap. Nothing to say! He looked away. "Nice to meet you..." Noah and Derek laughed.
"Alright little sis, we have something to do today so we won't be back until tonight. Why don't you go out and...have fun?" he laughed at the end, some inside joke he shared with Gill. They both headed out the doors, calling Jacob with them. He smiled at Emma and left the house in a hurry. Emma sighed.
Surrounded by water....

"Hey, where are the recruits?" asked a young man with blond trimmed hair. He was wearing a yellow and purple suit. The man behind the counter frowned as he looked at the list.
"I don't know, Andrew. Maybe the bus is late?" the man laughed to himself as he wrote down on a slice of paper.
"Do you want to lose your job, Johnny? Because if our new staff isn't here, we WILL be fired!" Andrew growled as he slammed a pad of names and jobs down. "When they actually get here, make sure each is signed the proper job, Johnny, or both our hides are toast!" Andrew quickly hurried after two boys that ran pass dragging a curtain. "Boys! No!"
Johnny laughed again, but the phone ringed. He picked it up.
"Hello, this is Surfer's Paradise Ridgemount Resort. May I help you?"
"Yes, you may sir. I'm Leonardo Jerome Haze, from Roma Italy. I own the Bello Palazzo."
Johnny remembered. "Oh, yes, yes! Mr. Haze, sir. You never rented a room...?"
"No I didn't, but I talked with Mr. Ridgemount about a job for my little girl. He said he had one for her. May I speak with him?"
Johnny said yes and told him to wait and that he'll tell Mr. Ridgemount that he was on line 3. After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Ridgemount answered.
"Hello? Ah, Leonardo! Its nice to hear form you. How is your little girl? Hm, yes. Good. Oh, Lo and the boys? They are great, yes, Lo had to learn a lesson about money, yes, I know, teenagers. Hm, your kids were always more behaved than the rest. Ahahah! This is true....yes, I did give her a job. Where is she? I've been told the bus is running late. I'll call you as soon as she arrives, Leonardo.
Alright, bye Leonardo." Mr. Ridgemount sighed as he hung the phone up. He pushed a button so he could talk with the staff.
"Johnny, get that bus here now!" he shouted as he pushed it again. Johnny sighed as he hurried to the back.
- - - - - - -
Emma dressed into something comfortable for the heat and for moving around and took the note off the fridge's door. "Go to the bus station and wait for the odd bus - you'll understand why its odd. Papa should call you or someone will tell what to do from there. - MoonDoggie and Gill." she frowned and went on her way.
The bus station didn't have a bench, just a long cement walkway where the bus would drive. She waited near the trees, far away from the salty water that glared and splashed so evilly in front of her. She wanted to know why those surfers in the water didn't feel threatened by the water or afriad of it. She swallowed in fear when a boy with red-brown hair did a face plant into the water on purpose. He came back up, laughing with two other people. One was a male with large blond hair and the other was a short haired blond girl. The red-brown haired boy looked over at her and smiled, grabbing his board, he started to swim towards the shore. The two others followed after gazing off into the distance.
Oh no! They're coming over here! What do I do...? She bit her lower lip and stood straight. Oh, I hope my hair isn't ruined...or I smell! She swallowed hard when the red head came up, shaking water off his head as he laughed and talked to his friends. Emma looked away, acting like it didn't mean anything. Truth was, she was wide eye with fear and shyness. The boys and girl came up. The red head started to speak, his voice lazy with flirts.
"Well, hello there miss. I'm Reef and this is Broseph and...Finn." he nudged his head at Finn, who rolled her eyes. "I'm the surfer god of B.C Paradise Resort and these two simple--"
"I'm better than he is," Finn said, smiling as she put her hand out. "Welcome. Are you staying or just visiting?" Broseph smiled.
"Ah, lemme me introduce meself, Finn." Broseph muttered to her, slightly pushing her aside. "Hey there gorgeous,I'm Broseph...but for you, you can call me yours." he smiled sweetly at her and Emma blushed. Reef growled.
"Well, anyway, what's your name?"
Emma froze. They wanna know my name? She smiled. "Emma."
They stopped and looked at each other, laughing. She became flustered. "W-what?"
"We know a Emma. Wow, its going to get confusing calling different Emmas..." Reef laughed with Broseph but Finn sighed.
"They're just stupid boys. So, why are you here Emma?" she asked, walking a couple feet away with Emma.
"My...my father puts a lot of money into the Paradise Resort here. He knows the owner, Mr. Richmount..?" she was seeing if she got the name right. Finn nodded.
"Oh, than you must be rich too?"
Emma frowned. "Is...is that wrong?" Finn chuckled.
- - - - - - -
Johnny was in a cold sweat when the bus didn't arrive in the next twenty minutes. He looked down at the list again, reading the names off. Broseph Returning Staff, Seth, Brad and Alex. A scribbled mess laid before Alex. He couldn't make it out. The doors opened and he saw Reef, Finn and Broseph come in, along with a new girl. Johnny frowned, rushing over to them.
"Where were you guys?! Mr. Richmount was waiting for the bus, you idiots! We're in trouble!" The girl hid behind Broseph, looking down. Reef laughed.
"Calm down, bra. We saw the new staff outside, Andrew found em twenty minutes ago." Johnny nodded, looking pass Broseph.
"Who are you?"
"I-I..."
"She's the new Emma!" Reef smiled, patting Johnny's back. He gasped.
"Your name is Emma?"
She nodded. "Sì. I'm sorry if it causes a problem..." she frowned but Reef and Broseph shook their heads.
"Her father is the dude Mr. Haze."
Johnny gasped. "Haze?! Jeez, I gotta go tell Mr. Richmount. You -- Emma -- go wait with Reef and Finn. I'll have someone get you when the need arises, your father wanted you here." he ran off to the phone and called Mr. Richmount. Emma was dragged away to the waiting room, where Reef pulled out a cellphone and began texting to someone. Finn answered her phone, saying it was her sister. Broseph sat besides Emma, his whit teeth shining brightly against his tan skin. Emma felt so...weird. She was from Italy, where she stayed in doors due to a few complications. But when she went out, the sun never stayed on her; she was pale. After a few minutes, Broseph smiled.
"So, where ya from?"
"Um..Roma Iltaly--"
"Where were you born, I mean." he chortled at his mistake. Emma smiled.
"VolTerra Italy, I came while my mother was site seeing..." he oh'd her.
"Where's ya mum?" he asked, silently because Finn hushed him. Emma froze, looking down she sighed. Broseph itched his head. "Did I say somethin' wrong, Emma?" before Emma could answer, the door open and Andrew was there. He pointed at Emma.
"You. Your father got you a job, be grateful and come with me, your working at the bath houses." Emma heard Reef, Finn and Broseph gasp. She turned.
"What's wrong with that?" she asked, but Reef spoke.
"You have to take care of the tubs after the old people."
Emma shivered in disgust. "Ew! No way!" she crossed her arms. "I'm not going to do that." Andrew laughed.
"You father said you'd do that." he gave her a letter. She frowned when she finished.
"Can't I have another job? Please?"
"They are just old people. He said you did that back in Italy. Same kind of form, just go with it." Andrew told her to follow him, she sighed and politely followed him. Reef and Finn frowned.
"Poor girl..."
- - - - - - -
Jacob was talking with Seth about how he decided to apply for the job again. Seth was grinning from ear to ear when Jacob got the job with him -- the resort's personal mini chef for the surfers and small time instructors. They would work as instructors when Reef was gone or on break.
Jacob was sharing a break with Seth when he heard Andrew.
"And remember to scrub the tubs after them, alright? I don't want to have to say it again." Jacob turned and gasped when he saw the same girl from earlier - Emma. She was dressed in the wench's clothing, her hair was still down. She had a calm face on, but her eyes looked grossed out. Jacob punched Seth's arm.
"That's her!" he hissed under his breath, pointing to the girl with the bucket of water. She was frowning and following Andrew through the small garden that led to them Seth made an awed face as he saw her short figure.
"Wow! A short hottie!" he smacked Jacob's back. "Have you've talked with her yet?" Jacob nodded slowly.
"Yeah...I made a grom out of myself...she's MoonDoggie and Gill's little sister..." he said it as if he wasn't good enough for any of them. Seth growled.
"You ain't no grom, Jacob! Speak with her after work, talk like how you talk with the other girls - impress her with your surfing! For gods sake, she's from Italy, right? Than she never saw surfing, show her how its done, bra." Jacob smiled, saying he was right. After work, he'd talk with her.
- - - - - - -
Emma sighed as she dropped the bucket of soapy water down; it splashed at her feet, but she didn't care. She was too sore and tired to. She had just finished scrubbing the tubs after everyone left when Andrew told her she could head back to her place and rest, her shift was over for the day. She smiled sweetly at him and gathered everything up to put it away; Andrew was surprised that she knew what to do, only she asked where the storage room was. He pointed to the south building, amazed. He didn't have to scream it or tell her over and over again - how strange. Italy obviously has better people! Andrew thought.
Emma has finished freshening up in the bathroom when she left; she was very tired and wanted to rest. Andrew said her paycheck would arrive at the end of the week, the amount would be as much as she worked and how hard she worked. Andrew said he was proud, so it must mean a lot or at least more than the others.
She paused when she heard laughter and the sound of water being splashed; she looked to her right and saw the ocean from the forest line she stood at. Reef and the others were surfing and swimming. She smiled when Reef pushed Broseph under the water. Their laughter and the sight made Emma sighed. It must be fun having friends...she shook her head and continued on her way through the woods.
Jacob saw Emma standing in the woods from his side of the beach, where Reef refused to go after Jacob beat him, but only because Reef's board snapped in half. He saw her eyes gaze over Reef and his gang and than back in front of her, as if she were lost in thought; hurtful thoughts. He decided - he'd go and talk with her! He hurried from the water and ran after her, unaware of Reef and Broseph, even Finn and Lo watching him, wondering what was wrong.
Jacob saw her walking up a short trail that led to her little hut and quickly charged forward, stopping in front of her, his breath lost. "Hey...wa-wait...a second..." he breathed. She frowned, worried. She reached out to pat his shoulders, but he shook his head.
"Are you okay?" she asked, her hazel eyes melting in worry. He smiled, his pearl white teeth shining brightly.
"Yeah...I just wanted to talk with you." Jacob laughed at her startled face. "Its okay...I won't bite." she giggled at that and broke out in a throaty laugh as well. Her face was flushed when she managed to say:
"A-About...what?"
"I was wondering if maybe...you'd wanna surf with us down at Blue Lagoon?" she looked frightened by it and he wondered why. She shook her head.
"No thank you, Jake--" he frowned, saying his name. She gasped. "I'm so sorry! I meant Jacob..." I'm so stupid for saying his name wrong... "I can't go because I...I can't swim."
Jacob oh'd her.
"Well....I could teach you--"
"No!" she snapped, running away into her brother's hut. She slammed the door shut and locked it. Jacob sighed. I wonder what that was about....
