Author's note: So here's chapter 1 of my Hiro/Cloe vacation stories! There should be several of these. Thanks a million if you took the time to read/review! Enjoy!

Cloe's POV

Spring vacation is the best! Aunt Cass took all of us out to a lake house, which she had rented for the entire vacation, which was awesome because we usually don't go places. I was the first out of the car. I ran into the house. It was a nice one, with two bedrooms, and a living room, and a TV, awesome! My awesome big brother Hiro came in behind me, still rubbing his eyes. He had slept the entire car ride. Why would he want to? I spent the whole time looking out of the window.

"You guys are going to share the room with the twin beds, okay guys?" Aunt Cass said, ruffling Hiro's hair, then mine.

"Okay," we said in unison.

That night, Aunt Cass made us dinner, then, despite my protests, sent us both to bed, promising we could explore tomorrow. Of course, I had other plans...

0000000000

BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

My alarm clock went off.

I jumped out of bed, running over to Hiro's.

"WAKE UP BROTHER!"

"Clo... go away..." he muttered. "What time is it..."

"Five! Time to get up!"

"Where are we going..."

I pulled Hiro out of bed, and down the stairs, outside.

"Clo!" he groaned, once we were on the porch. "Seriously, where are we going..."

"Just follow me!" I laughed, and took off again. I could hear Hiro behind me.

This is gonna be great!

Hiro's POV

Hiro groaned, stumbling along in the cold air. Why did his little sister have to wake him up at 5 in the morning? Even Tadash wasn't that mean.

Hiro could hear his little sister laughing up ahead, and despite how cold and tired he was, he smiled slightly. He was still getting used to being the 'big brother' for Cloe. The little girl could get out of control sometimes, but he knew she basically worshipped him.

Not like that stopped her from waking him up at five in the morning...

Subconsciously, Hiro wondered if he had ever been this annoying to Tadashi. Then he reasoned that he probably had- just in different ways.

"Come on big brother!" Cloe called from ahead.

"I'm coming Clo..." he sighed. He could hear thuds as his feet hit wood. Otherwise, he couldn't see anything, thanks to the thick fog.

"Clo, where are we even going?" he called ahead. He couldn't see his little sister, she was lost somewhere in the fog ahead of him.

"It's a surpriiiiiiiiise!" Cloe laughed, dragging out the 'i' to make it long and annoying.

"Are we almost there?" Hiro groaned, shivering in the cold.

"Almost!"

Hiro kept going. A minute later, he heard a splash.

"Cloe?"

No response.

"Clo!"

Still no answer from his sister.

Hiro felt a surge of panic. No matter how annoying his little sister was, he didn't know what he'd do if anything happened to her.

"Clo!" he called again. He started to run forwards, cold and exhaustion forgotten. If his little sister was hurt in any way-

"Clo!" he went to yell again. Instead, he let out a choked gurgle as the dock suddenly disappeared beneath his feet. He fell into the water with a loud splash, water filling his mouth and nose. He choked again, gasping and floundering towards the surface. Once he reached it, he coughed up all the water he had just swallowed.

Another thing.

The water was freezing.

Hiro shrieked as the cold set in. The water must have just melted yesterday, because there was no other way it would be this cold.

He heard a familiar seven year old giggle from somewhere off to his right.

"That was great!" Cloe laughed. A minute later, she had come out of the fog, wading through the water.

Hiro stared incredulously at her. "Cloe, you got me soaked in freezing cold water at five in the morning!"

"I know."

"That's not-"

He stopped.

She was giving him the puppy eyes.

Hiro sighed. A minute later, Cloe had swum over, and she hugged him. Hiro smiled slightly, hugging his little sister back.

"You're the best, Hiro," she laughed.

"Yeah... just no more freezing water, okay?" Hiro sighed, looking straight into his little sister's blue eyes, to make sure she understood.

"No more freezing cold water!" she agreed.

Cloe's POV

Wait until later today!

Hiro and I both climbed out of the pond, dripping wet. We made it back to our cabin, both shivering.

"Cloe? Hiro?" Aunt Cass said, as soon as we came in. "What happened to you two? And why are you soaking wet?"

"We took a swim," I giggled.

"In the freezing cold lake..." Hiro muttered.

Aunt Cass sighed. "Well wait here, and I'll get a fire going."

A few minutes later, Hiro and I both were wrapped up in blankets, sitting in front of a fire. And things only got better when Aunt Cass brought us hot chocolate. She makes amazing hot chocolate.

I bet even Hiro would have to admit that was worth it.
