Chapter I

It was a brilliant, summer morning in July. The weather could not have been any more perfect – there was no hint of dark clouds covering the sky, nor any stray winds. The heat, though unbearable, could not prevent a young group of females from celebrating.

"Camping! Camping! We're gonna go -" chanted several teenage girls, but were cut off by one of the boys' shrill replies.

"Camping. Yeah, yeah we know. Calm down, ladies, please... I'm trying to read here," sighed a tall boy by the name of Eden. Admittedly not as quite as wild as his fellow peers accompanying him on his trip, he felt the need to say something before the shouting would get to his head. He was busy reading a book, while waiting to arrive to their desired destination: Ferris Beach. He, along with his friend, Raven, was only going to this trip for a project they had been assigned over the summer.

Raven studied his features of almost faked composure as he went back to his book. He was an asian boy with black, spiky hair, who, despite acting calm and collected, had a goofy side. "Stop spoiling our fun. Just because you're STIFF doesn't mean we all have to be," she scoffed. Eden just laughed and gave an apologetic look.

"But you know, we really should be focusing on that assignment..."

Raven ignored him as she continued conversing with the others. It was true: she put a high emphasis on her academia, but that didn't mean she couldn't have fun while doing it. She tightened the hair band of her rich, dark purple hair, twisted into a tight bun, only to be cut short from her thoughts by the shouts of the girl next to her.

"I wanna ~ SEE!" yelled the girl to Ravens's side, otherwise known as Mizu. Hyperactive at best, she was the one who had started the crazy chanting to begin with. Mizu continued to make grabbing motions toward air, to which a boy named Dyne kept from her a book.

"Alya!" cried Dyne, tossing the book toward the seat in front of him.

The girl named Alya caught it, whilst still having her headphones on. "Why are you so secretive of your sketchbook, anyway, Dyne," asked Alya, looking at her best friend dubiously.

"Geez, who cares," she shrugged, as she opened the sketchbook and revealed several pieces of sketches with the flap of each page.

"Oh look, here I am." Indeed, Dyne had drawn Alya with her gleaming lime green hair with matching green eyes, sitting on a bench. "Alya, you traitor," uttered Dyne as the group praised his art.

"I know you're having fun guys, but we're almost there," said the mild- mannered Chase. Even more calm-headed than Eden, he paid close attention to their surroundings, to which their sleeping friend, oblivious of everything that was going on ground them, did not. That sleeping friend, Gizmo, woke up with a start as Mizu tugged at the book Dyne had just retrieved back from Alya, which had landed on his face.

"Wh-what's going on?" asked Gizmo, alarmed. As the book had been opened, all he could see was the black hue of a drawing. His friend, Luna, who was looking out the window, pulled the book off him. She laughed as he gave everyone a clueless look.

"Are we there yet?"

The girl sitting in the seat in front of them, shrugged. "Beats me.." she said, as she pulled the blue ribbon off of Luna's arm, tying it to her hair.

"You know, you should stick to those buttons of yours, before you 'accidentally' tie a knot in someone's hair," advised Chase, sitting to opposite seats from them.

"Yeah, Nova, I don't want to get an impromptu hair cut," agreed Luna.

"You just stick to those buttons of yours."

Nova frowned as she tied the ribbon back in its original place, originally put there by Mizu. It was a long and boring ride. The adolescence had been planning this trip all year. Luna herself had literally been adding things to her seemingly unlimited amount of space of a backpack, and with constant bickering with their parents, were able to go.

More page flipping ensued.

"Now here's one of Dyne." Mizu grinned, gaining possession of the book once more. Sure enough, showing a picture of a boy with brownish-blond hair revealing only one light green eye, as his hair had been pushed to one side.

"You look hot, Dyne," laughed Chase, pushing his midnight blue hair to one side in mock imitation Dyne. He covered one of his purple-blue eyes. Dyne groaned, looking defeated as the others chortled.

Laughing throughout the ride, the nine could not have foretold what fate was about meet them that day.
