Hey guys, new to the Fanfiction world. Really hope you like this story.

Chapter One

"What if I was born normal?" I asked my best friend, slash boyfriend, Josh as he was putting out the fire we had created only moments before. "Because, Maya, than we would have never met," Josh answered pulling me into his arms and kissing my forehead. " Oh, yeah," I stated with a goofy smile on my face. "Come on, we better get going before they catch up," Josh said moving towards the jungle that loomed behind us. I followed and smiled to myself as I thought when that had become a sentence I heard way to often.

So let me explain the situation we in at the current moment of time. You see Josh's older brother, Cory (you also happens to be my ex-best friend's farther), was apart of an elite special forces in the U.S army, he was really good at his job, so good that some rich fancy person asked him to form a special task team. Now this is where I come in, you see my step-dad is apart of Cory's special task team and through this I meet Josh, who is my best friend, my boyfriend (much to my step-dad's disgust) and my teammate. After a couple of years Cory realized that he couldn't protect everyone, but he could as sure as hell try. So, after speaking to some rich people and investors he created a secret organization called Buddyguard, which is an organization that trains young people from the ages of 6 to whenever you look to old. He created this organization, as children or teens can protect children of important people, like the presidents daughter or even a famous pop star without causing any suspicion, but still able to protect them at the same time. Now Josh and I have been apart of this organization since we were 4, which is way younger than most, but hey you can never start to young. At first Josh and I hated each other, but that's a story for another time. We are the best Buddyguards there are, we have been on a total of 99 689 "missions" between the two of us and been put in some serious situations.

The situation we in at the moment is actually a training session for one of the teams, the objective is to find your principle alive who has been abducted, through the rough terrain of Africa without being shot or killed themselves. So Josh is the person who has "abducted" myself, the principle, and the team has to find us. It's been about 5 days and they still haven't found us, but then again no one has succeeded in finding us for a long time and those who do, often manage to get themselves shot by a paintball gun or the principle "dies". Cory gets quite frustrated when no one can catch us that he often calls off the session after 3 days, he must have faith in this team. I'm still waiting for the day that he is going to give up and try himself, Josh and I keep hinting but he just doesn't seem to catch on.

As we trudge through the jungle we kept on our toes and listen to all the sounds making sure that no one could sneak up on us, we have a reputation to up-hold. We came to a stream and hoped in, both taking opposite directions, Josh going up stream and I going down, we will soon meet up at our normal meeting spot. I know what you thinking, "but Maya, that is so unfair," but in actual truth, you never know how many people were involved in the abduction, and the principle could have been handed over to someone else. After about 4 hours of moving through the river, it was a freaking long river, and another 2 hours of hiking through the bush, we eventually caught up to each other and continued on our way like we had never been apart.

It was about midday when we had reached the checkpoint and found Cory sitting in a lounge chair fast asleep with a cap over his face, I swear you could here him snoring from the middle of the jungle. So, as a little payback and because we extremely mischievous, Josh and I grabbed a permanent marker from the car that was parked just behind the snoring body and wrote 'I love Mrs Higglebottoms' across his forehead and drew a moustache and a goatee.

After another hour and still no sign of the Delta team we woke our snoring princess and to his irritation, obviously he was hoping for the Delta team to have found us, he called the search off and requested everyone to return to base for a team brief and basically explain what everyone did wrong and then get 5 hours of fitness for taking 5 days to find us and then an extra 2 hours for not completing the assignment.

As we waited for the team to arrive Josh and I sat on the lounge chair that Cory had been sleeping on, with my legs over his we chatted about the past 5 days and what we could have done to better our techniques and survival skills. Cory was pacing up and down in front of us and every so often he would look at the two of us with a mixture of pride and irritation. Eventually when Josh had enough of his brother's pacing, he kissed me and moved my legs as he stood and started heading back towards the jungle to find the Delta team.

Not wanting to be alone with Cory, I run after Josh and when I got close enough I jumped onto his back and he caught my legs, this was something we did often so it didn't take him much by surprise, I kissed him on the check and rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, as the momentum of his walk was very comforting and I felt extremely safe I started to fall into a deep sleep, it felt good to close my eyes as I've had about 30 minutes of sleep over the past 2 days. After about 15 minutes of walking, I jumped off of Josh's back and walked the rest of the journey by his side, we often joke about it, but we always say to each other that next to each other sides is where we will always belong. Josh took my hand and held it in his, I smiled up at him, as he towers over me, and kissed him on the cheek.

After 30 minutes of tracking down the Delta team, we found them standing in a group, clearly lost and trying to find their way back to base. As we walked into the clearing, a girl named Mandy, spotted us and gave a shriek of joy, "thank goodness you two are here, we are so lost and this pee brain over here cannot seem to read a compass," she said pointing to a large stocky boy who was holding a compass and scratching his head. "I don't get it, it says that north is that way," he said pointing in the direction that was actually south. I smiled to myself, because before Josh "took me against my will" he tampered with their compass to point in the opposite direction to what the true direction actually was.

Once we lead the team back to base it was dark so Cory had created a fire while we were searching for the Delta team. Josh and I resumed our position on the lounge chair, but after awhile he pulled me into his lap and put his arms around my waist, cuddling into me. "What went wrong?" Cory asked the Delta team, once everyone had showered and had something to eat, no one could answer him, either because they didn't have a clue what went wrong or they were to busy crying from laughter because Cory still had the writing, moustache and goatee on his face. "James," Cory called the Captain of the Delta team out, who stood with a sheepish look on his face like he had done something wrong, James was an excellent Buddyguard and being Captain of the Delta team was a huge thing for him, he took his job seriously and never did a half job. "Sir," James said as he stood up, "you have writing on your face, sir," James said as he could no longer hold back is laughter, everyone burst into laughter as Cory spun around and glared at the two of us. " Sorry big bro, but if you gonna snore like prince we gonna write on your face like a king," Josh said causing a couple of looks of confusion. I giggled quietly so that only Josh heard me, he chuckled at my giggled and soon both of us were laughing so hard that our stomachs started to hurt.

Cory washed his face and managed to get the permanent marker off his face, "right, now that that is sorted," he said giving us one more glare, "what went wrong?" Cory asked the Delta team again. Everyone looked at one another and soon they all shrugged. "Sir," Mandy stood up, "we thought we had them this time, we were keeping at least an hour between them, we took no breaks and kept going, reading their tracks. But after about 3 days their trail went cold by a small stream, we tried looking for any signs but there was non. How the porcupines did you two do it?" Mandy ended looking at us. I smiled and moved off of Josh so that he could explain what they did wrong. "First of all, well done for the first 3 days, you kept Maya and I on the move a lot, we couldn't take a break or slow our pace, or else you would have caught up to us. But what you didn't, however, notice when the trail went cold was that there was an overhanging branch across the stream about an hour up, Maya and I managed to climb that tree and hide ourselves amongst the leaves and branches pretty high up. Always expect the unexpected, if you have a gut feeling about something, like James had suggested, go with it. By buying us some time we were able to get a whole day ahead of you. Even an hour ahead could mean life or death for your principle." Josh finished with a smile. He sat back down and pulled me onto his lap again, while Cory began talking again. "Well I had huge hopes for this team, I thought they were finally gonna be the team to find you two," Cory said to Josh and I, I shrugged my shoulders and Josh just smirked. "Well team, go to your rooms and get a good nights sleep 7 hours of fitness tomorrow for you all," Cory said as he rubbed his hands together and grinned at the Delta team as they groaned and headed to their rooms. Cory came over to the two of us and gave me a hug goodnight and Josh a pat on the shoulder, before heading off to bed as well.

"Josh?" I asked seeing if he was still awake, we had been up for about 2 hours after everyone went to bed, just enjoying each other's company and staring at the stars. Josh stole a kiss every once in a while, but other than that we just sat curled together keeping each other warm from the cold winter night. "Yeh?" He replied to me in a sleepy voice. "I have to tell Shawn," I said, this was a topic I often bought up, you see Shawn is my step-dad and even though he works with Cory he has no idea about Buddyguard, he thinks I'm sleeping over at my best friends house at the moment and keeping this secret from him is killing me. "Maya, we've been over this, if Shawn ever finds out that you are apart of this dangerous organization he will kill Cory, and if he found out I am apart of it he will skin me alive. You can't tell him," Josh told me resting his head on my shoulder. "But it's killing me, if he knew the truth he would understand," I said staring into the fire that was still burning. "I know Maya," Jack whispered in my ear. He kissed me on the check and pulled me into a comfortable position and started to hum a lullaby, it was very comforting to know that I would always have him no matter what. I eventually feel asleep in Josh's arms and it was the first good nights sleep I had, had in a long time.

To bad it was all a dream...
