A/N: Yaay, I got my first review today, thank you very much!!!

After another ten and a half minutes of degrading stares from the other people around them, both men successfully made it into Cuba's Airport terminal.
"Jonathan…" Jervis whispered, "The people are still staring at us…"
"Well, tell them to stop it then." Jonathan replied, looking for their bags on the revolving shelf in front of them.
They waited.
And waited.
And waited. After another fifteen minutes of waiting, they slowly figured out that one of their bags was missing.
"Jervis?" Jonathan asked slowly, "What exactly was in that bag?"
"Hmm…Clothes…Clothes…More clothes…My cards…Your toxi- He paused. "Oh shit."
"You don't think they…" Jonathan started, Jervis shook his head nervously.
"No…I'm sure that they just misplaced it…" He frowned. "Customs couldn't have…They wouldn't have…" He sighed. "Oh dear…"
"If customs didn't take it…I suppose that just they'd send it to our hotel once they found it, right?"
"Er…Yes, I suppose…"
"Then let's not worry ourselves over it, alright?" Jervis nodded.

"Alright, I swear to god, if we get one more strange look in the next five minutes, I will see to it that every single person on this bus drowns in my toxin…" Jonathan grumbled, glaring right back at the young couple sitting beside them. The young woman shrunk back against her boyfriend's arms, averting her eyes.
"Relax Jonathan," Jervis said, "It was my fault anyway so don't be so mad at the other people." Jonathan sighed and slumped in his chair, defeated and tired.

Another painfully slow five minutes later, their bus arrived at the hotel. The place was absolutely huge, with large twisting vines covering the front wall and sides of the building.
"Wow…" Jonathan said, "Where'd you get the money to pay for a room here?"
"Well, I went to my well paying, nine to five job and slowly saved up the money."
"Really?"
Jervis laughed,
"No! Don't be stupid Jonathan, I stole it of course!"
"Hmph. I should have known…" He said, laughing.

The lobby of the Hotel was just as amazing as its front entrance way. The floors were polished marble, with large pillars running from the floor all the way to the vaulted ceiling.
The front desk was a dark shade of nut brown, and to the extreme surprise of both men, the person behind it actually had a smile on her face!
"Hello gentlemen," The woman greeted cheerily, "How may I help you?"
Both men, stunned into silence for a brief moment, looked at each other.
"Oh yes," Jervis said, smiling back at the woman. "We've got a room reserved for us?"
"And which room are you two staying in?"
Jervis opened his mouth to reply, and then shut it, his eyebrows furrowing as he turned towards Jonathan.
"Jonathan…What's our room number?"
"I don't know!" Jonathan cried, "You wouldn't tell me one single thing about this vacation!"
Sighing, Jervis turned back towards the woman behind the desk.
"Erm… Please forgive me; I seem to have forgotten our room number…" The woman's smile never faltered.
"Oh, that's quite alright sir, what's your name? I'm sure we have you on our list of current registered guests."
Jervis paused, as if in thought.
"Jervis." He said slowly, "Jervis Sunderland." Jonathan looked at him curiously.
"I thought it was Tec-
He was interrupted by Jervis stepping on his foot. Hard. He winced inwardly. "Ow!! What?!" He said. Jervis gave him that look that said just keep your mouth shut.
"Ah yes," The woman said, "We have you right here, Mr. Sunderland, your room number is 302. Would you like someone to help you with your bags?"
Jervis shook his head.
"No, thank you anyway though."

"Why'd you get such a big room?" Jonathan asked, looking around. "There are only two of us, remember?" Jervis smiled.
"I know, but isn't the view outside just lovely?"
Jonathan walked out onto the room's balcony. He had to admit, it did have a great view… You could see the Ocean perfectly, along with the sun setting slowly in the background, casting orange and pink shades over everything.
"Hm. Not bad." He said, not wanting to prove that Jervis was right about something for once.
He walked back into the room when he heard Jervis sigh loudly.
"What?" He asked, trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong.
"There's no Tea here." He said, frowning. Jonathan laughed quietly.
"You're pouting because of that? Why don't you just go downstairs and ask for some?" He said, "There is a café down in the lobby you know…"
Jervis' face lit up almost immediately.
"Can we go now, Jonathan? Please?" He said, already on his way out of the door.
Jonathan sighed, gently placing his bag onto the bed. It was at that moment that he noticed that the room only had one bed, a couch, and a few chairs.
Oh dear… He sighed; Then again, I suppose I can always make him sleep on the couch if the circumstances call for it…
He laughed slightly at the mental image and walked out the door, shutting it gently behind him.

The café was a small, cozy place, with bookshelves lining the walls. Jonathan took a liking to it almost immediately. Jervis however, didn't.
"Excuse me sir," He said, leaning against the bar's counter. "I'd like a cup of tea, please." The man behind the counter just frowned.
"Sorry, we don't have any tea. We just ran out. We might have some next week though, if you'd like to come back then…" Jervis frowned.
"But…But…" He sounded like a child that had his favorite toy taken away by a strict parent.
Jonathan tugged on Jervis' sleeve gently.
"Come on, tomorrow we can go looking for some at a local shop or something…" He said, knowing very well that the chances of them finding anything were slim to none. Jervis nodded, sighing.
A/N: I'm still having lots of fun writing this and I hope that you guys are still having fun reading it. Also, if anyone can catch the little references to a certain game, it would make me very happy. ^^ Anyway, reviews are still wanted and needed greatly. Thanks!!
