Chapter 1: Vacation Abomination
I looked down the big slope of snow and sighed. "Mom and dad sure do plan the weirdest vacations… I mean, Alaska? Really?" I said to my friend. "Ahh… Come on Jayla! This will be fun! I know you're not a fan of heights and all, but this could still be a fun vacation!" I looked at her with my crystal blue eyes, raised my eyebrows and blinked slowly. "Kate, people have died in skiing accidents. You know, like cracking their skulls open on giant boulders." I said. Her face went green. "Really?" she asked. "Really." I said.
We went back inside our cabin and finished unpacking our bags. "Heeey!" my dad said as he came into our room. "How are you two campers doing?" he asked. "Just great dad…" I said pulling out my iPod. "Well. They're serving dinner in the dining hall in an hour." Mom said. "Okay! See you then Mr. And Mrs. Parker." Katie said cheerfully. "Thank you for inviting me, again." "You're welcome sweet heart!" Mom said. "Oh! I almost forgot! There suppose to be a blizzard tonight! So bundle up, and be inside your cabin before eight!" "Bye kids!" dad said. "Have fun!" "Like that was possible…" I thought as I listened to Hilary Duff sing "Play with Fire". And I drifted to sleep…

They served mountain stew and cocoa for dinner. We took a few packages of hot cocoa to our cabin to drink later, since our room had a coffee pot, mugs and a mini kitchen and fridge. "Shower's open!" Katie said once she finished taking a shower. "Thanks." I said, logging off the computer so that she could check her email too. "Computer's free." I grabbed my purple, long-sleeve pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After I was done, I dried my reddish-blonde hair in a ponytail and brushed my teeth. "I wish I could have brought our Wii… Then I could have played Tree of Tranquility…" I thought. I sighed, plugged in my iPod and tried to fell asleep. "I wish I could live in Waffle Town… With Akari and Luke and Chase… Even though Katie's here, this place is horrible… Why couldn't we have gone to the beach or something? Why can't Waffle Town be real! I wish… I wish I lived there instead…" I thought. I heard a bell ring.
I rewinded the song I was listening to, but there was so ring… I took off my head phones and looked at Katie, who's orange hair was in pigtails. "What?" she asked, staring at me with her bright green eyes. "D-Did you hear that?" I asked. "Hear what?" she asked. "T-That ringing noise." I said. "It was probably just your iPod Jay." She said.
"Just my iPod…" I thought. "No… It couldn't be…" I sighed and figured that it was only my imagination. I poured myself another cup of hot cocoa and read my book I had brought, Twilight. It was okay, I guess. All of my friends told me I just had to read it… but I just couldn't get into it… Harvest Moon is way better.
I sighed again… "Why couldn't they have made Tree of Tranquility on the DS?" I thought. I put down the book and opened up my "Girl's Life" Magazine. What advice do they have for bad vacations?…
Nothing… Absolutely nothing… Zilch… Nada… NOTHING! I put my magazine back in my suitcase. Why don't they ever have useful information?! I mean life's not just about boys, fashion, and make up… well… it kinda is… but that's not the point! I sighed. I bet life would be so much better in Waffle Town… So much… better…. I heard the bell ring again, but I didn't pay attention. My eyes grew heavy, and I fell asleep… in deep sleep…
Author's Note: One of my friends asked me if I could write a story with their name in it, and I was happy to do it! I love it when people love my stories so much, that they want to be a part of them. ^.^
Well anyways, I hope this first chapter was good. ^.^
