Holly awoke to a clatter from the stairs, giving a high pitched squeal as she jolted out of bed. She turned to see that Micky had fallen down the stairs. She rushed over to him to see if he was ok.
"I'm ok, it happens quite often," stated Micky.
"Often, am I going to have to ban you from using stairs," joked Holly.
"How am I suppose to go to my room," complained Micky with a smirk.
"Well..." Holly said as if in deep thought, "your bathtub looks like a swell place to crash, you could sleep there."
"But..." Micky began to protest.
"Shhh... I'm going to wake up Crystal since your clumsiness didn't."
Holly looked over to the couch, thinking about pouncing on Crystal to wake her. She took a running leap toward the couch, but only landed on blankets and pillows. She quickly threw the blankets and pillows off of the couch, then she frantically dropped on the ground to search for Crystal under the couch. Micky watched Holly with great concern. When she found Crystal wasn't there she tore through the boys pad. Holly ran from room to room shouting for Crystal. She ran upstairs into the guys room, where Mike and Davy were still sleeping peacefully.
"Have any of you seen Crystal, " shouted Holly, tears threatening to spill from her eyes, "she's gone."
"The crystals are hidden in a safe, please don't shoot Mr. Criminal," said a sleepy Davy.
"What do you mean she's gone," Mike asked calmly.
"I mean she isn't in the house. She's gone, disapearered, vanished, left without a trace," Holly panicked.
"She's gone," shouted Davy as he woke up, "Wait...uh...whose gone?"
With that said, Holly began to cry. Holly was babbling about how she was supposed to protect Crystal and keep her safe. Crystal was like a little sister to Holly.
"What if she was hurt Mike? I wouldn't be able to live with myself," whined Holly dramatically.
Even though he knew he would regret it later he wrapped his arms around Holly in a comforting hug. Micky and Davy were sitting on their beds eating popcorn as if they were watching a movie come to life. Mike felt a small flutter in his stomach, but shrugged it off, thinking that yesterday's dinner wasn't agreeing with him.
"Thanks Mike," Holly whispered with a sniffle while looking up at Mike.
"Now let's go find..."
The door to the boys room opened and in walked Crystal and Peter.
"Crystal," shouted Holly running out of Mikes arms, and embracing her friend in a hug, "I thought I lost you forever."
"I was only gone for twenty minutes," Crystal replied.
Holly skipped out of the boys room, dragging an annoyed Crystal with her. Mike was still standing where Holly left him, confused about what just happened.
"Peter, you ruined the movie," Davy exclaimed.
"Yeah, I thought they were going to kiss until you walked in. Now I have to wait for the next episode to see if they realize they like each other," Micky complained.
"What! I certainly don't like her. I just felt bad for her because she was upset," stated an irritated Mike.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night," answered Davy.
"What did I miss," asked a confused Peter.
"Davy and I will fill you in later," Micky replied.
"No, I'll tell you now. Holly was worried about Crystal because she couldn't find her. Holly came in here to look for her, and I comforted her so she would feel better. End of story," said Mike.
"I believe you Mike." Peter responded.
"Of course you would believe him," Micky stated, "But, Davy and I don't!"
"Yeah, and the next episode will prove it, Michael," Davy joked as he and Micky walked out of the room laughing, "you should've seen the way he looked at her when he hugged her."
"I don't get it," Peter spoke up.
"Good for you," a now irritated Mike stated and walked out of the room.
"Wait Mike, aren't you curious why those two girls aren't at their home," asked Peter.
Mike peaked around the door and said,"I'm curious, but we will have to find out when the girls are ready."
There was the sound of glass shattering downstairs and Mike gave an exasperated face, "I have no patience right now, you better tell me who broke something."
"If we hide it, Mike will never know," he heard Micky try to whisper.
Mike stormed downstairs to see what his friends have broken. He had had enough of Micky and Davy's shenanigans for the day, and he knew the only way he would get answers is if he went downstairs himself. He saw Davy and Micky trying to sweep up a very cheap vase into a dust pan, being extra careful to put all the pieces of the vase on it. They then snuck to the trash can and began to slowly dump it in, but they looked up the stairs to see Mike watching them. When they noticed that, the whole vase went in the trash at once. They threw the dustpan to the side and ran for the beach with Mike at their tails. The girls watched from the doorway./
"BEACH DAY," Holly yelled and dragged Crystal out with her.
"I got the beach ball," Peter shouted after them.
Holly ran up to a volley ball net and shouted, "Let's play volleyball!"
Micky and Davy ended the chase by running up to the net by Holly and Crystal.
"I call team captain," shouted Peter.
"Then I'm the other captain," said Davy.
"I want Crystal," hollered Peter.
"Then I get the other girl, Holly you're on my side," exclaimed Davy.
"Yay, I'm on starry eyes side," Holly danced around on her side of net, while Davy made a face that said he immediately regretted his decision.
"Good luck containing her outburst Davy," Crystal laughed, "sometimes I can't."
"Ok, next I choose Mike, because having Micky and Holly on the same team doesn't seem good for strategy," Peter joked.
"I guess I'll take... Hmmm... Mr. Schneider," said Davy.
"You'd choose a dummy over me. You are aware he can't move," Mickey complained.
"I guess I'll take Micky then," Davy tried to pretend to be irritated.
"Thank you," Micky bowed, and ran up to Holly. Micky and Holly began hopping in circles around there net.
"I'm afraid to say, but what are you two doing," asked Davy nervously.
"Pre game exercises David, you should join," answered Holly.
"Yeah, they'll loosen up your muscles before the game," Micky replied trying to sound like a doctor, doing yet another one of his imitations.
The teams got to their positions to play. Davy's side got the volleyball first because he was second to choose his team. Davy sent Holly back first to serve the ball. Peters team was on their toes, ready for Holly to serve it over. Holly threw the ball in the air and hit a fist to it. The ball flew over the net and to Crystal who was ready. She bumped the ball over the net and it went right over Davy's arms and Micky ran to get it, bumping it over the net. Micky flopped after the hit and tripped Holly. She went down and the ball was coming back to them. Davy was backing up for the ball and fell backward, but was able to hit the ball onto the other side. It hit the line barely in, and the team yelled in triumph as they were on the ground in a pile. The gameplay continued, and nobody really won. They lost track due to the fun.
Holly decided to be spontaneous so she ran into the ocean, she was waist deep when she decided that the water was freezing. She walked three feet away from the water, faced it, and jumped in so that her body would get use to the water temperature faster. She started swimming in the water gracefully, followed by splashing around clumsily.
"Come on guys, the waters far out," coaxed Holly.
"Holly get out of there, you only have one good outfit, and now it's soaked," scolded Crystal.
"If you want me to come out you have to come in," Holly stuck out her tongue in defiance to Crystal, "how bout any of you guys, Micky...Mike...Davy...Peter. Do any of you want to swim?"
"No way," Mike protested.
Davy and Micky ran past and dived into the water ignoring the cold it brought to them. To them, cold water was quite enjoyable.
"I knew you wouldn't Mike, you're too uptight, uptight outta sight." Holly complained.
"Yeah Holly, sock it to him," exclaimed Micky.
"Don't be so juvenile," Mike argued.
"You don't even know how to be a kid," stated Holly.
"Well I have to be the adult because if I wasn't the house would be in flames," Mike shouted, unknown to him Holly was inching closer to him.
"Like I said Michael, you are too uptight," Holly grinned as she pulled him into the water, Davy and Micky came to them and helped to pull Mike farther from shore.
"So Mike, how do you feel," asked Holly.
"Cold," Mike replied coldly.
"You have to loosen up man, have a little fun," said Holly.
"As your doctor I have to say that Holly is right. I have diagnosed you with uptightitis. The only cure is to let loose and have a little fun," said Micky, imitating a doctor as best as he could.
"Fine, I'll try to have fun," Mike reluctantly said and he dunked Holly into the water and made a swim for it to the shore laughing a little to himself.
"Davy, I heard laughter! I knew it," Micky shouted, "I told you, my paper doctor certificate never lie-…my certificate! It disintegrated in the water!"
"The saga continues, will they kiss, or will they shy away? Find out in the next episode," Davy narrated.
"My certificate! I knew I should have framed you," Micky shouted as he tried to put the pieces together, but he figured out he was fighting a losing battle.
"Hey, Micky, I think that something is happening in our TV program," Davy pointed out Holly chasing after Mike.
As soon as Mike dunked Holly she swam to shore as fast as she could, and took off after Mike. Although she had completed her goal. She wanted to see Mike smile, because to her, he seemed too serious for his own good.
"You know Mike, you should wear a smile more often," Holly stopped running because she was out of breath, "it really does look good on you, and also you cheated. You had a head start and you have longer legs because you are taller than me, which is an unfair advantage!"
"That's not my fault. Blame genetics," Mike laughed a little bit causing Holly to smile.
"I think it's time to go home now, Mike, and you too Micky and Davy," Holly looked at them and they were sitting in the ocean with a bag of soggy popcorn.
"Aww, fine," Davy and Micky said in sync as they walked out and followed them to the beachfront house.
Peter and Crystal was already at the beachfront house in their beds by the time they got there. It was getting late, and it was time to sleep anyways for all of them. Holly bolted to the fridge and dug a bit to find a small slice of cheese and she ate it, then she looked at the boys with a look basically saying 'don't judge me.' Davy, Micky, and Mike looked at her reaction and smiled about it. She was a mixture of Peter and Micky in a funny way, and that wasn't going to change any time soon.
The boys went to their rooms as Holly made sure Crystal was in bed. She was not going to lose her again. Holly then walked to her bed and fell asleep.
