Chapter 1: The Plan

"Do you have to go?" Tori whined as she tried to unpack LJ's suitcase. He and Chris Halliwell were flying to San Francisco for the Christmas holidays to visit Chris's family. LJ's family were out of the country for a while on business. He had no one to spend the holidays with so Chris volunteered to have him go to his house.

"Yes! I have no where to go for Christmas, I promise to call every night until you get there," He assured her.

"But that's not the same!" she whined. Tori sat on the bed and pouted. LJ sat down and put his arm around her, a single, lonely tear came out of her eye. LJ lifted her chin up with his finger. She looked directly in his green eyes. He leaned his head in and pressed his lips gently on hers. He let go and got off the bed.

"I'll see you in a week", he told her

"Okay", she said. "I love you"

"I love you too", he replied, and left his bedroom.

Tori's best friend Krystal Danvers (Chris's girlfriend) was standing out side the bedroom door listening. When LJ opened the door, Krystal pretended to just be knocking on the door.

"Oh...sorry", she said.

"That's okay, I was just leaving", he said, walking past her.

"I was sent up here to give you a message. Chris said that if you don't hurry up he's going to kick your ass for missing your flight", Krystal said. She had a big smile on her face, but then turned serious when she saw Tori on LJ's bed.

"Thanks Krystal, I better go", and with that he left. Krystal went and sat next to Tori on the bed. She passed her an envelope.

"What's this?" Tori asked as she opened the paper. She pulled out two plain tickets to San Francisco and a Hotel reservation for on of the ten presidential suits at the Hilton.

"The tickets for our flight next week", Krystal replied. "It's all booked and paid for, all we have to do is pack our bags and we're off in a week.

Tori at first looked disapointed, like she was scheiming and evil plan.

"Thanks, I can't wait" Tori said, and left the room, leaving Krystal all alone.

"Wait up!" she shouted at Tori

After Chris and LJ flew out that morning, Tori called the airport and got their flights changed from next week to that night, and their reservation booked from two weeks to three. After the changes to their plan, Tori packed her two Miss Sixty luggage bags, and drove her black hummer over to Krystal's house.

She knocked on the door and Krystal's father Caleb answered,

"Hey Tori, looking for Krys?" he asked.

"Yeah, is she in her room? I really need to talk to her," Tori asked.

"She's studying in the den upstairs", he replied, opening the door for her to come in. Tori walked passed him up the stairs. She ran down the hall and into the study den. Krystal was on her laptop writing a paper for late english litrature class.

"Go pack your bags" Tori said and made Krystal jump.

"What? Why?" Krystal questioned as Tori pushed her out of the den and pulled her down the hall. When they reached the bedroom Tori started pulling out handfuls of clothes and stuffing them into a Louis Vitton luggage bags.

"What the hell are you doing Tor?" Krystal yelled as she watched in horror as her best friend destoryed her bedroom.

"We have to make our flight" Tori shrugged as if it was all so simple.

"But we don't leave until next week, remember?" Krystal reminded her, but Tori didn't need one.

"Not anymore we don't," Tori said. "I called the airline and the hilton in San Francisco and changed the dates".

"Why?" Krystal asked

"Cause I can't go a day let alone a week without LJ!" she said. "From this morning to now is bad enough."

Krystal's face went from a frown to a smirk. "Fine, but only because your my best friend and I know you'll burst if we don't go now."

Tori jumped and squeezed Krystal so tight that she choked. "Thank you!" she squealed, and get off Krystal so she could pack her own bag.
