Delfino AnimVacation

Chapter 1: Expected by Land, Arrive by Sea and Air


A large island in the middle of an ocean, the shape of a dolphin. A tropical paradise which was home to large humanoid creatures with multiple colors, grass skirts and palm trees on their heads as well as little creatures with conch shells as clothing. There were also some little men with mushroom caps worn like turbans while wearing open vests. That's when one more young man came running through the streets between buildings. Donning a sky blue polo shirt and khaki shorts, he was a black-haired man with brown eyes behind a pair of glasses and he seemed to be on the search. "Piantas?" he called. "¿Alguien vio a dónde se dirigía Pedro?" One yellow humanoid pointed in a direction. "Gracias!" He resumed his trek through the island when he spotted a young ponytail blond man moving pottery around with a few of the young men in the mushroom hats. He also wore glasses over bluish-green eyes, not to mention wearing the same sky blue polo and shorts. "Pete!" The blond turned to find the black-haired approaching.

"Diego?" he wondered. The brunette reached Pete, a little out of breath.

"Amigo, you told me for a couple of years about how hard you're to find but seriously…" Pete scoffed to Diego's gripe.

"Degs, I don't try to hide at all… Though my childhood is a bit of an adventure on its own. Anyway, what's up?"

"Neo called me about a ferry nearing the island. There's a good chance it's got some of our guests arriving." To Pete, he had a job.

"Gotcha! I'll head out! Take five, Toads!" The mushroom caps nodded before running off. That's when Diego remembered something else but Pete escaped.

"Oh yeah… Do you know where the-" A revving of the engine stopped Diego before he turned to find a jeep rolling out. Seeing the jeep, Diego shrugged. "Never mind..." Pete drove to the pier where he found a boat approaching shore as reported. On board were two ponytail blonds and a giant suit of armor. The young man wore a red trench over black clothing with his hair braided. The other was a young woman wearing a leather jacket over a white blouse and a skirt.

"We'll be docking in a few minutes," the captain announced. "Make sure you have everything with you as you enter the island."

"Will do!" the young woman nodded. When the boat docked, Pete stepped forward to help the three out.

"Aloha!" he greeted. "Welcome to Isle Delfino." He helped each one out but the armored one became the most difficult. A black dog with a white underbelly jumped off as well, a front left leg appearing in metallic.

"Easy!" The other two blonds aided in pulling the armor on shore.

"Come on, Al!" the young man yelled. Finally, the armor stood on the dock, but Pete fell over from the force of the yank, plunging into the ocean. A few seconds later, he resurfaced.

"You okay?" the young woman asked in concern. Both blonds reached down and pulled Pete from the drink.

"So that's why Degs wanted me to have towels on hand," he mulled. The armor stared down Pete.

"Yeah, you may wanna dry up before you take us to… wherever you're taking us," it snickered. Pete looked up to the armor, nodding to it.

"For sure." That's when he realized it wasn't from the blonds. It came from the suit of armor. "Wait… you can talk?" To the blonds, Pete's reaction was expected.

"Yet another satisfied customer, right Alphonse?" she pointed out.

"How many times has it been, now?" asked Alphonse. "Well over a hundred people..." Pete groaned but had to deal with this finding.

"That's a gust of wind of a new direction," he mulled. "Anyway, once I dry up, we'll head to the hotel. I do have your keys for your room. You two can sit in front with me while Alphonse and your canine can take the backseat." After toweling off, all three boarded the jeep with Pete behind the wheel. "I'm Pete, by the way. I'm one of four staffers on this island resort. You'll meet the rest later tonight when our other guests arrive via airport." Hearing about more people coming, the young woman grew excited.

"I heard about more people coming," she clapped before having an idea. "Is it possible for us to meet them?" To the boys, the young woman wanted to see the others visiting Isle Delfino.

"Winry, why?" the young man questioned.

"Come on, Edward! Don't you wanna meet them as well?"

"It ruins the night if we meet them now!" Alphonse pondered about seeing the other vacationers.

"Pete, you're not driving everyone to the hotel where we're all staying, right?" he guessed.

"No, as a matter of fact," Pete figured. "You can meet each other while riding the Wiggler Buses which will also reach the hotels. I can take you to the airport, no problem." Edward groaned to the idea of visiting the airport instead of resting up for the day. That's when the dog looked to find a blimp descending from the sky and barked. Alphonse turned to the dog with the prosthetic leg.

"Den, what is it?" Looking up, they saw the blimp floating down toward the ground.

"Looks like some of the arrivals are touching down. Let's go meet them." Pete drove to a large structure with a sun having eyes at the front, its sign reading "SUNSHINE AIRPORT."

"Pete, what were they riding in?" asked Winry.

"A blimp. I told others will be arriving in jets." As they entered, Edward saw Den joining and petted its head.

"Sorry, Den," he told the dog. "You can't come in here." Pete came to Edward to clarify some rules about the airport.

"Den can come in. I'm sure everything will be fine." Den stepped to Pete and pounced him, licking his face mercilessly. "Ah! Okay! You're welcome! Help!" Winry came over to save Pete from Den's tongue bath.

"Bad girl!" she scolded as she pulled Den off Pete. Getting up, Pete wiped his face free of Den's kisses.

"Dogs… why are they attracted to me?" Entering, saw the interior with conveyor belts and monitors. Coming out of the a gate were three people and a tiny white humanoid creature with no ears but with an orange drill as a nose. There was a silver-haired young man wearing black with a white undershirt, a young brunette woman in a white tank-top and blue skirt with short staffs attached and a raven-haired young man with piercings over his left eye.

"Got everything, Haru?" the young woman asked. The silver-haired found and strapped a large sword to his back.

"Got it now, Elie," he joked. Den came to see the new people before Alphonse, Edward, Pete and Winry arrived. Finding the tiny creature in the kennel, Den barked to it and alerted Winry to hold back.

"Den, that's enough!" she called out. While Winry kept Den down, Elie checked on the dog in the kennel.

"Are you okay, Plue?" she asked. The tiny dog whimpered, shaking in fear of Den. Winry felt bad for Elie and Plue but was upset with Den.

"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bring you in," she scolded. Pete petted Den to have her look up while Winry offered Elie and her boys an apology. "Sorry about that. I didn't think Den would react to… whatever you have in there."

"I was gonna say. Poor Plue's scared out of his wits." She opened the kennel and released Plue to comfort. Viewing the creature, Edward, Alphonse, Pete and Winry gawked at Plue's appearance.

"What… the hell… is that thing?" gulped Edward.

"And I thought Alphonse being your younger brother was hard to believe," Pete murmured. Alphonse leaned in to wonder about Plue himself.

"Is this another… 'Gust of wind of a new direction' for you?" he guessed.

"Yes…" Plue ceased the shaking, even taking a deep breath to relax.

"That wasn't so bad," Elie cooed before turning to Winry. "Sorry about that. I'm Elie." She extended an arm out to shake.

"Winry Rockbell, auto-mail mechanic," Winry introduced as she accepted the handshake. Haru and the raven-haired decided to greet the brothers as well.

"Not necessarily the start we'd hope for," Haru sighed. "Maybe the two weeks will be fun with you three around." That's when he offered his hand for shaking. "Haru Glory, at your service. My partner here's Musica." Edward saw Haru using his left hand, nodding to the introduction.

"Edward Elric," he named himself while shaking hands. "Fullmetal Alchemist. You can call me Ed if you want."

"Just don't call him anything related to small," Alphonse warned. "I'm his younger brother, Alphonse Elric." Musica twitched his eyebrow at Alphonse's relation to Edward.

"I could ask but I doubt Ed would appreciate it," he acknowledged. That's when Den barked to the window. Coming into view were jets and one was landing. That one had a pair of kids, a blond boy and a brunette girl, along with a white cat with yellow claw gloves and an orange piglet with wings. The boy wore a green long-sleeve shirt with a yellow stripe on each arm and shorts. The girl wore a sleeveless pink and white shirt and yellow shorts while also having pink arm-length finger-less gloves.

"We will be arriving at Sunshine Airport very shortly," the pilot announced. "Please make sure all your belongings are with you as you depart from the jet. Also, during your time on Isle Delfino, the 15-year anniversary of Mario's liberation of King Bowser will have a celebration in the honor." The announcement shocked the blond.

"It's that game?!" he shrieked. The brunette turned to the blond as did the creatures.

"TK?" they called back.

"Super Mario Sunshine… why that game?" To the brunette, the game brought back memories.

"Oh yeah!" she thought. "Mario and Princess Peach came to this island for vacation when the townsfolk accused Mario of graffiti throughout the island and cleaned the streets using that sprayer and stopped Bowser and Bowser, Jr." TK nodded to the brunette's description. Recalling the pilot's announcement, the piglet seemed upbeat.

"Relax, TK!" he squeaked. "At least we don't have to do that cleanup job like Mario, right?" TK nodded to the piglet's reasoning. From in the airport, those inside saw the jets coming in.

"How far into the future are we?!" gawked Edward. Others sighed to Edward's outburst. The jets landed and found different terminals to exit off.

"Awesome," Musica smiled. "Can't wait to see who else is here." The jets landed and everyone came out to the airport to retrieve their luggage. Three kids emerged with two brunettes and a raven-haired girl along with a flying yellow plush lion cub.

"Li, Madison," the brunette girl called. "Got your gear?" The brunette boy nodded, holding a sheath upward.

"Got mine, Sakura!" the raven-haired smiled as she lifted her luggage. The flying cub wanted to make sure Sakura had her equipment.

"Did you make sure the Clow Cards are on hand?" he asked. Sakura opened her luggage and a pouch. Inside were cards featuring creatures with names underneath. This also caught the attention of someone else.

"You collect cards, too?" a young man wondered. Sakura, Madison and Li turned to find three teenagers. The shortest had a wild crown like hairstyle with colors of black, red and blond. There was also a young blond man and a chestnut brunette girl visiting. Sakura nodded as she showed her deck to the wild-haired who saw through with the blond over his shoulder.

"Okay, those aren't the same cards we're used to, Yug," he pointed out as they saw several girls in revealing attire with names like "The WINDY," "The LIGHT" and "The POWER." Madison came to defend Sakura.

"What do you mean 'not the same'?" she asked. The wild-haired decided to show the others their reasoning.

"I got this, Joey," he waived before revealing his deck. On there were numerous creatures with some humans and dragons. One Madison whistled at was a man in a purple cloak holding a staff.

"I'd like to see Li dressed like this." Li snorted his face away. Sakura handed the deck back to the owner.

"Someone likes Dark Magician. Anyway, I'm Yugi Muto. He's Joey Wheeler and she's his sister, Serenity." To Sakura, they could learn from each one's decks.

"Nice to meet you," she welcomed. "I'm Sakura Avalon. She's Madison Taylor and he's Li Showron." Serenity came around to offer handshakes, which Sakura and Madison accepted.

"I'd like to know more about your deck, Sakura," Serenity wished.

"We'd love to." Meanwhile, TK and the other three waited for their bags to emerge when a mewing came around. To the girl, she thought it was her cat but she shook her head.

"I don't meow like that, Kari," she denied. Another mew turned heads to a brownish-gray furry bunny with yellow eyes and a gem on its forehead. Kari came over to meet the rabbit.

"Aren't you a cute little thing?" she cooed. The bunny mewed in pleasure which spooked TK and their animals.

"A bunny that meows like a cat?" he gulped.

"Thought you'd be used to this stuff by now," the piglet reminded. "After all, Gatomon and I turn to angels." That's when someone found the rabbit.

"Ryo-Ohki, don't run off like that!" sounded a pigtail blue-haired girl in a green robe. Behind her was a cyan-haired woman and a young dark brunette man with a tiny ponytail. This startled the first bunch. "I'm sorry. Ryo-Ohki is usually well behaved under my care." Kari didn't mind Ryo-Ohki's interest.

"It's alright," she smiled. "I find it weird for a bunny to meow like Miko back home."

"That's easy. Ryo-Ohki's a cabbit!" TK and Kari blinked to the name.

"A… cabbit?" That made Gatomon itch her head.

"You were saying, Patamon?" she mewed. The brunette came forward with an explanation.

"I happen to house aliens back home," he claimed. "I'm Tenchi Masaki. She's Sasami. That woman behind us… Ryoko." The cyan-haired waived her hand to greet.

"Hey!" she smiled. TK needed to introduce themselves.

"Nice to meet you all," he spoke up. "I'm Takeru Takeda, but you can call me TK. This is my Digimon partner, Patamon." The piglet flapped his wings to waive. It didn't click for Ryoko.

"Digimon?" Sasami grew interested with Patamon.

"Can I hold it?" she requested. Patamon flew down to Sasami who petted him. "I might wanna be careful. I could be holding you more than Ryo-Ohki."

"I'm not worried," Patamon giggled. Tenchi now turned to Kari still holding Ryo-Ohki in her arms.

"So you're TK's friend, right?" he asked.

"I am," Kari answered. "Kari Kamiya. TK and I helped the Digidestined with our Digimon, like Gatomon down here." Tenchi and Ryoko wondered if Gatomon could talk like Patamon.

"I'm not familiar with Digimon but you can talk as well, right?" she asked.

"If you can provide me fish, I'll provide some more detail," she offered. Tenchi and Ryoko blinked to the trade. Edward, Alphonse, Winry, Haru, Musica, Elie and Pete came down the hallway when they found a meeting between two people, shaping to go into mayhem. One was a white-haired young man in a red robe and ears protruding out of the top of his head. Behind him was a raven-haired teen girl in a school uniform with a green skirt and a tiny ponytail-redhead boy in a blue robe and vest. The white-haired faced a spiky strawberry blond teen. Behind him was a tall tanned brunette young man and a buxom redhead teen girl.

"This is not good," Alphonse hushed. Unknowingly, energy emitted from the two.

'What is this I'm sensing from this guy?' the white-haired cringed. 'It's certainly a lot from him… and I know it's not demonic energy.'

'I don't know what's more disturbing about this guy,' the strawberry blond thought. 'Those dog ears from his head or that spirit energy if that's what I'm detecting?' The stare-down continued until the redhead on the girl's shoulder had a solution.

"Kagome, you might wanna stop InuYasha before he wrecks the airport," he suggested. The raven-haired, Kagome, nodded.

"Sit, boy!" she shouted. A necklace around the white-haired's neck began to glow before a sudden pull yanked him to the ground, face-first. The sickening thud turned most of the people away. Kagome and the tanned man didn't budge.

"That had to hurt," Haru groaned. Realizing the one on the ground was InuYasha, everyone calmed down… but the one floored.

"Kagome, what was that for?!" he stammered. Kagome gave InuYasha a stare that scared even Edward.

"That look tells me she's not playing around," he shivered. Kagome regained her composure.

"We're on vacation with a lot of people!" she growled. "We're not here to draw blood on this island… You hear me?!" InuYasha growled back, not taking Kagome's backtalk. While the tension began to simmer, a mew caught Alphonse's attention. Looking down, he saw a small cream colored two-tailed kitten with red eyes.

"Hey, there," he greeted as he hoisted the kitten. It mewed to Alphonse and Pete came over to pet. Kagome and the boy on her shoulder came to see the other group.

"Sorry about InuYasha," she apologized. "He can be aggressive when not necessary."

"That's alright," the strawberry blond shrugged off. "I didn't know what I was seeing when we met eye-to-eye. Ichigo Kurosaki." He offered his hand for a shake.

"Kagome Higurashi. The one on my shoulder is Shippo. He's a fox demon." This astounded the redhead as she reached to the shoulder and picked Shippo up, revealing a furry tail and paws for his hands and feet.

"A demon?" she awed. "But you're pretty adorable to be a demon."

"Well, I am still a fox pup," Shippo clarified. "I've got time to grow." Alphonse came over to meet the rest, as well as Haru.

"Aside from Homunculi, this is the first time I've met a demon up close," he awed. The kitten in Alphonse's arms begged Shippo to differ.

"No, Kilala's the first demon to come across." The boys and the redhead turned to see Kilala mewing.

"Won't you be warm in that suit of armor?" the tanned man asked. Haru stood forward to aid Ichigo's group.

"Already asked Al," he briefed. "He'll be fine. By the way, what about you?" Ichigo turned to his gang for introductions.

"They're classmates of mine," he started. "She's Orihime Inoue and that's Yasutora Sado, but you can call him Chad." Everyone met each other, even InuYasha after calming down. Down the hall, a brunette young man and a blond girl retrieved their bags… or so it seemed. The blond saw the tag on a bag she thought was hers. By her was a white rabbit wearing a red ascot.

"Negi Springfield?" she gawked. "Who the heck names their kid Negi?" Hearing the nagging, the brunette came to the blond's help carrying two suitcases.

"Miss Miya- I mean, Rebecca," he corrected. "I got ours!" Hearing the brunette, Rebecca checked the tags, one reading "REBECCA MIYAMOTO." She nodded to the tag.

"Good work, Shū. Now who's this Negi I-"

"Please, hold on!" cried a redhead boy in a green business suit and glasses. By him was a purple-haired teenage girl with her hair draping over her eyes and a white ermine. "That suitcase is mine, miss." Listening, the boy had an English accent. Rebecca handed the bag to the now identified Negi. "Thank you. I swore Nodoka's and my luggage would be down the conveyor belt from here." Rebecca wanted to know more from Mister Springfield.

"I've listened to a few British people while attending MIT." Negi jumped to the news of Rebecca's school.

"You attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge? Then that must mean…" To Rebecca, Negi also had college.

"You're a young teacher yourself?!"

"Yes! I attended a university in Wales." To Rebecca, she felt content in learning more about Negi,

"We may have some study sessions with everyone. Rebecca Miyamoto, teacher at Momotsuki Academy." She offered her hand to shake.

"Negi Springfield, teacher at Mahora Academy." Both agreed to a handshake. Down the conveyor belt, a blue-haired teen boy and a busty pink-haired teenage girl found three suitcases coming down their path. The girl had three dots on her forehead, shaped like a triangle.

"That must be ours, Yukinari!" she pointed out. Reaching, the blue-haired, Yukinari, spotted a problem.

"Miharu, we only had two cases, not three," he corrected. Miharu blinked before Yukinari checked the tags, one catching his eyes. "Who the heck is Kazuki?" An answer came from behind.

"Those are our bags!" shouted another brunette young man. Surprisingly, he also had a pink-haired girl along, slightly taller than Miharu. "Sorry, we thought our bags came through our gate."

"Hey, no problem! Here you go!"

"Thanks… and sorry for the mess. I'm Kazuki Shikimori."

"And I'm Yuna, his wife," she claimed. Yukinari and Miharu gawked to the news.

"So, is this your honeymoon?" asked Miharu. Kazuki freaked at the claim.

"Technically, we're not married yet!" he denied. Yukinari wanted to believe Kazuki and found proof… or lack thereof.

"I was gonna say," he spoke up. "I don't see a ring on any finger." Yuna protested about their marital status.

"We're not yet, yes!" she admitted. "But I'm still the one truly loves him!" As she proclaimed her love to Kazuki, Miharu found a tag on a suitcase reading "KURIKO KAZETSUBAKI."

"Who's this one?" Kazuki came over to see the case.

"Oh, Kuriko?" he read. "She's the one who got the tickets here." Yuna heard Kazuki and looked around.

"Speaking of whom," she realized. "Where's she?" Turning heads, the four saw nothing. Meanwhile, a buxom blond in a maroon sleeveless business suit with stiletto heels. She viewed a brochure as she walked down the hall.

"Coconut Mall sounds like a great place to find something for Kazuki," she snickered. "Perhaps time at Gelato Beach with him could have Yuna looking for someone else. I bet someone would work better for her." As she scanned through the brochure…

"Here it is, Pikachu!" a young man announced. The blond looked up to find a raven-haired boy in a sleeveless blue sweat-tee over a black t-shirt and jeans. On his shoulder was a yellow mouse with a lightning bolt for a tail. The blond glared at the raven-haired and the mouse while he turned to the side.

"You got your gear?" asked a younger raven-haired boy. He wore a green polo t-shirt and glasses. By him was a brunette girl in a red bandanna and shirt with tight black shorts.

"Right here, Max." The mouse squeaked to confirm. As he regrouped with the others, the blond gawked at the boy. She dropped the brochure as her mind and heart raced.

'What?' she minded. 'What is this aching in my heart? He's younger than Kazuki… but why am I feeling this? Could it be what Yuna told me about when we all met around Kazuki?' Suddenly, a ghost appeared, looking like a young girl with lilac hair and wearing a maroon night gown.

"Kuriko?" she called. "Kuriko!" The ghost couldn't make contact as she started heeling toward the boy with the mouse. "Where are you going?" Seeing who Kuriko began to tail, it worried the ghost. "This isn't right at all! I gotta get to Kazuki!" Quickly, she flew and found the four as Yukinari and Miharu finally retrieved their bags.

"Wondered what took so long," Yukinari sighed. Finding Kazuki, the ghost alerted.

"Kazuki!" The sound of the ghost echoed, the four turned to find the ghost flying. Yukinari screeched in fear.

"A ghost!" he screamed. Miharu came to his aid.

"Don't worry," Kazuki assured. "Elizabeth's one of us!" Yuna feared Elizabeth's sight.

"What's wrong, Elizabeth?" she questioned.

"It's Kuriko," she cried out. "She's chasing some boy with a yellow mouse!" Kazuki and Yuna glanced to each other.

"Is this true?" wondered Miharu. Down the hall from where Kuriko saw the boy, a raven-haired young man was with a blond teenage girl wearing long pigtails from balls in her hair. By her was a pink-haired little girl with pigtails from what looked like spindles. Waiting on the wing was a black cat with a moon crescent marking on its forehead.

"Here it comes, Rini," the blond announced. Three suitcases emerged along with a ball with the head like the cat. Max and the brunette came around when the blond snagged the ball and gave it to Rini.

"Thanks, Serena," she praised. "Let me get my suitcase before I hold my Luna Ball." As Serena put the ball back, she grabbed a small piece of luggage but her swing batted the Luna Ball away. "Oh no!" Rini watched the Luna Ball sail but it fell into Max's hands and he caught the sphere. Serena gasped to the error.

"Sorry!" Max glanced to the ball, giggling to the face on it.

"Better than Meowth as the face," the brunette joked. Max wanted to do the right thing: return the ball to Rini.

"I got this, May," he huffed as he stepped to return the Luna Ball. Rini watched the boy come up to return the knocked item. "I believe this is yours?" Barely registering, Rini awed Max's polite behavior. The elder raven-haired acknowledged Max's will to return the loose item as the young man and mouse watched… or at least the young man. The mouse dashed to Max's side, past Max.

"Thanks a lot, little guy," the elder smiled.

"Aw, don't mention it." The mouse crawled up Max's head to get a view of the three. Max felt it. "Guess you wanted to see them as well, huh Pikachu?" The mouse squeaked in confirmation.

"That's a cute mouse you have," Serena complimented as she petted Pikachu between the ears.

"Max, let's go!" urged May. Max turned and nodded to May.

"I'll see you later," he said to Rini before journeying to May.

"Now that was a nice young man," the elder nodded.

"I agree, Darrien," Serena bobbed. "Don't you think so, Rini?" The young girl didn't react. Max caught her eyes and her focus seemed lost.

"I… I think… love..." she stuttered. Serena and Darrien blinked to the shivering response. Of course, this gave Serena a ploy to tease.

"Oh… are you falling for that boy?" Rini snapped out of the delusion and turned to Serena.

"What!" A sneering Serena grew more willing to mock the sight.

"He was nice returning your Luna Ball. Maybe you see him as a boyfriend at your age." Rini's face bled red in embarrassment.

"Th- That's not-"

"Maybe he could be worth your… MAX-imum attention..." Embarrassed enough, Rini snapped.

"Serena, you bully!" Serena snickered while the boy watched the scene with some laughs.

"At least I can say it since Brock's not around," he sighed. "He could be learning some lessons from Max when it comes to girls." Unknowingly, Kuriko had sneaked behind the boy and found her time to strike. She wrapped her arms around him.

"Well, maybe you can teach me somethings about you," she cooed. "Like maybe your name, first." Coiled, the young man surrendered as Pikachu stopped in front of the two. It looked on, rather confused.

"It's… Ash Ketchum." Kuriko inched her head closer to Ash's head.

"Ketchum, huh? Well, you've certainly caught my heart." Ash felt more uneasy about Kuriko as Elizabeth pointed the four to their missing blond.

"Don't you think I'm a little young for you?"

"Not really. After all, Ash, age is but a number." Yuna had to act and break the hold.

"There are limits, Kuriko!" she growled as she snagged Kuriko's earlobe. The pain from the pinch released her hold.

"Ow! Yuna! That hurts! My ear!" Yuna dragged Kuriko away from Ash as the other three approached him.

"Talk about out of character for her," Kazuki shrugged. "Why did she come after you?" Ash shrugged his shoulders, not sure about it.

"You got me," he blinked.

"Will you be okay?" asked Miharu. Ash fluffed a nod. May and Max traveled to find the exit with bus passes on hand when something came out of May's fanny-pack: a small pink kitten with a cream underbelly. It mewed before running off, panicking May.

"Skitty, what are you doing?" she gasped while chasing the kitten. This left Max alone as a brunette girl emerged from the bathroom and eyed who May left. A smile painted her face.

'I finally have my moment with you, Conan!' she minded as she stepped to Max silently. Suddenly, she kissed him on the cheek as Serena, Darrien and Rini came walking from behind. When Max felt the kiss, he turned and their eyes met. The brunette girl saw Max, realizing this wasn't the boy she wanted to smooch and freaked out. A loud scream alerted a brunette young woman and a dark brunette boy who were near the gift shop. The brunette had hair to her shoulders while the boy had glasses on and a bow-tie.

"Amy!" the boy figured out. The two dashed out to see the occasion and found the girl crying in hysteria while Max looked on befuddled to the event around him. Rini cringed after the girl kissed him and now wondered if Max was after her instead of herself. The boy and the elder brunette came to see her condition.

"Amy, what's wrong?" the elder asked. The boy faced Max, thinking he hurt Amy.

"What did you do to Amy?" he demanded an answer.

"Nothing!" proclaimed Max. "My sister ran off somewhere and suddenly..."

"That's not Conan!" cried Amy. "That's not Conan!" They now knew Amy kissed Max out of mistaken identity. The three relented the boy came to Amy's aid.

"I'm here, Amy," he tried to ease. Amy started to calm down.

"Conan?" The boy nodded to his name.

"You caused quite a ruckus. Everything's okay now." Rini also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing Amy kissed the wrong person. Standing, Amy tried to regain her composure as Max came to check on her.

"That was the wildest first kiss I've been involved in," Max gulped.

"I'm sorry," she apologized. "I thought you were Conan." Max nodded in understanding.

"No big deal. We can still be friends for the two weeks, right?" Amy nodded to the assessment.

"I appreciate that you wanted to make sure she'd be okay," the elder praised. "I'm Rachel Moore. Of course, the one Amy wanted to kiss is him: Conan Edogawa." Conan bobbed to Max. May raced back with Skitty and Alphonse when they heard the scream.

"Max, what happened?" gasped May, out of breath.

"Just a misunderstanding, sis," Max clarified before turning to Alphonse. "Don't tell me you made friends with inanimate objects." Alphonse glanced down, scaring Max and Amy. "It's alive!?" Alphonse snickered to the fright.

"It might take me longer for them to understand my dilemma," he sighed. To Rachel, the two weeks weren't going to be ordinary.

"We're in for some fun, alright," she muttered. Looking at the clock, Rachel had a request. "Say, is it alright if I take your brother for some ice cream after the kerfuffle." May chuckled to the request.

"Sure, we got time," she agreed. Granted, Rachel led the young ones to an ice cream shoppe she and Conan passed after Amy's cry. Half an hour later, everyone visiting the island stepped out with Pete leading. That's when a bus shaped like a green caterpillar with a smiling face and blue wheels stopped in front of the airport. Diego drove the bus.

"Wiggler bus is running," he reported.

"Got it, Degs!" replied Pete. Everyone started to board the bus… and two weeks of fun on Isle Delfino.
