Chapter 1: The Stage is Set

One Tuesday afternoon Topher was in his room thinking about how great his life had become in the last few months since Pahkitew Island concluded, he had finally gotten over his obsession with Chris McLean and as a result had removed all his Chris memorabilia from his room. This made him into a new man who was more than just a pretty face, he had learned to be more considerate towards others, and thus had become mildly popular at his high school and was no longer viewed as a creep who obsessed over himself and his former idol. But Topher knew none of his newfound happiness would've ever come true if it wasn't for one person...that one special someone who put his entire life back on track...his girlfriend, paramour and soulmate Ella.

Ella was perfect in every way, her ebony hair, her gorgeous body and not to mention her overall cheeriness and optimism she coveted. Topher had never felt what love was until he met Ella, she taught him how to love someone other than himself, which was the best gift anyone could ever have given him.

Then, he heard a knock at the door. "Come in" he said, Topher's mother Tina came in "Honey, me and your father need to tell you something" she said.

Topher felt apprehensive "what is it?" he asked, hoping he wasn't in some sort of trouble.

"Well, me and your father, we're going off to your fathers cousins daughters wedding."

"And I can't go?" Topher asked.

"Yes, I don't think you'd enjoy it much and we were wondering if you could handle being on your own for the long weekend." Tina finished.

Topher thought for a second and quickly answered. "I can totally handle it mom, I can look after myself for a few days."

"Are you sure?" Tina replied.

"I promise, I'll hold down the fort for you guys while your gone, you have nothing to worry about."

"Then it's settled, we'll be leaving Saturday just before noon, and we'll be back by Monday night."

"Sounds great, thanks for trusting me." he responded politely.

Tina closed the door, leaving him alone. A smile crept up onto his face, 3 days with no parents whatsoever. Topher beamed from cheek to cheek. But he wouldn't be spending his vacation alone, because he had a plan, he would invite his beautiful girlfriend Ella, or as some would say his princess, over to his house and do what they had done on the most magical Valentine's Day of his entire life.
