Where the Tides Flow

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for the story

It seemed to be another normal day at the Palm Woods. Kendall was playing in the pool with Carlos, James was hitting on girls, and Logan was still trying to come to terms with his and Camille's relationship.

"Hey, so I was thinking maybe you could call me later." James was trying to talk to a very pretty blonde.

"Catch James!" Carlos threw the volley ball at him, purposely ruining his conversation. James missed catching the ball, and it hit the girl square in the face. She was instantly upset and fled the scene before anything else could happen.

"Way to go Carlos!" James threw the ball back at him. "Watch where you're throwing next time!" James's anger showed itself very easily.

"Hey guys have you seen Camille?" Logan showed up.

"No I haven't, but I'm glad Carlos wants someone to be happy." James glared at Carlos and sat on a beach lay-out. "I'll be working on my tan if you need me." The taller boy took off his shirt, started flexing for some of the ladies, and lied down basking in the sun.

"What do ya mean no selling?" It appeared that a Polynesian woman was being hauled out of the hotel. "You no like my merchandise, then you no buy!" She shouted. "Don' throw me out! I saw you eyesin' my grass skirt, it's very saxy." Her accent was very heavy. "Let me go!" Logan walked over to see the commotion and Carlos and Kendall exited the pool to watch too. Her outfit seemed to be a very, very, filthy orange-brown color of some sort and her make-up seemed to make small symbols on her face.

"What's going on?" Logan asked as Mr. Bitters appeared.

"This freak show has been trying to sell things on our beach's property without permission." He told Logan. "She's totally lost it." He laughed. Soon she was hauled out and Logan, Kendall, and Carlos made their way back to the pool.

"What was that all about?" James asked them.

"Some girl was trying to sell stuff on the beach." Kendall stated. "Probably a waste of our time to go and see, but it was funny."

"Okay," James sighed.

"Hey, guys, have any of you seen Camille yet?" Logan asked, seeming to forget about the last time he asked.

"I just said no!" James yelled, still upset. He liked being in a relationship, but was scared to death of commitment.

"Yeah I haven't." Carlos answered.

"Me either." Kendall added on the side. "Have you checked her apartment?" Kendall asked, but before Logan could answer, a hand tapped him on the shoulder. The smart boy turned around to find the same Polynesian lady that was just hauled out.

"Excuse me," She said very politely. "Would you like for me to tell you your fortune?" Her eyes were very endearing and you could tell she was loco-crazy just at first glance. "Only t'ree bucks." She gave Logan a smirk.

"Uh sure," Logan didn't seem to pay attention as he was searching for Camille. "Here," He handed her three dollars and she proceeded. They sat down and she grabbed his palm and started to eye it. Her finger gently pressed against it and started to push in various places.

"Intarestin'," She grinned. Then things were placed in his hand. She forced his hand into a fist and started to shake it. Then his hand released for some reason Logan couldn't explain. A fang landed in its sharp edge, which was impossible, a black coin landed on its side, which was impossible, and suddenly Logan's hand grew burning hot. He looked at his hand and it had NL suddenly burned into his skin. She closed her eyes and took a sniff of it. "Ah, you'll meet someone new. Someone who…" She took another deep smell of it. "Won' mess wit ya heart." She told him. The lady now had his full attention.

"Woah," Carlos stared at the lady. "Me next!" He shouted. "Logan give her three bucks." Logan groaned, but did give her the money.

"Let's see about you," She grabbed the items off of the floor, put them in her bag, and grabbed some new things. Then, she started playing with his palm too. Carlos sneaked a peek, just to see if anything was on his hand yet, but nothing was. "Don' look!" She scolded him, and then placed the new items in his hand. She shook his hand, and Carlos could control his release either. A bullet fell and landed how it normally should, and a vile fell out of his hand and broke. She eyed the shattered pieces, and looked on the bullet. It had a RH written on it. "Ah," She grinned at him. "Very, very curious is you?" She raised an eyebrow. "You don' need to worry…" She stared into his eyes. "They will like you anyeway." She seemed to be reading Carlos's mind.

"Here," Kendall handed her three bucks. She gladly took them and grabbed Kendall's hand. She went through the same process as with Carlos and Logan. His hand was examined, filled, and then dumped. A crumpled paper fell, and sand fell and scattered everywhere. She examined both closely, and then looked at him. "First two letters dat come to mind are…" She put two fingers up to Kendall's head. "K X." She stated. "You need to rememba, hockey isn' everythin'," She told him. "It will help you."

"Please, this is all garbage!" James sat up. "You guys are really going to believe this?" James asked.

"Stingy bastard." The lady called him.

"Excuse me?" James asked her.

"Did I not say it clearly. Stingy. Bastard." She repeated.

"Fine." He handed her three dollars as well. "What's mine?" She eyed the money.

"No, for you, four dolla." She rubbed her fingers together to signal for more money.

"Wha-," James grunted and handed her another dollar. She repeated the activity with James. But his items were a glass eyeball, that looked at Logan, and a ring, that seemed to shrivel up at the first sight. Her head shot at Logan.

"Say two letters." She demanded.

"Uh-uh, W and M," He said.

"Ah-h-ha-ha-ha." She started to cackle, and James seemed worried. "You scared of commitment." She told him. "What you need to know, is dat, commitment is coming." She grinned at him. The lady gave each of them a fortune cookie. "Have a nice day," She smiled very creepily and walked away, looking for more customers.

"That was weird." James stated, and the other three agreed.

Other than that, their day was pretty normal. The boys went to sleep, and everything seemed at peace in the world. Until they woke up…
