Maria's POV

I sat alone in the breakfast room. Grace had stolen my only chance of happiness from this horrible idea. I threw away the rest of my bagel and walked out of the hotel with no idea where I was going. I just walked down the sidewalk past the palm trees and pink flowers, dodging cyclists and people walking their dogs. I came to a strip of little souvenir shops and decided to go inside one of them. I looked around at all the random beachy junk, bathing suits and hermit crabs. Then I came to a little stand with shell necklaces on it. I looked at the little sign, they were "magic necklaces" I pulled down a pink one which was the love one. I put it on and looked in the mirror, then the little door thing jangled and a hideous, nerdy looking guy walked up to me.

"That's a beautiful necklace you're wearing!" He smiled and I could've sworn he was missing some teeth. "You know, it's the necklace of love!"

"Ok then you can have it!" I pulled it off thrust it in his hand. "I'm sure you'll be very happy together!" I walked briskly out of the store and down the sidewalk, hoping he wouldn't follow.

Lola's POV

Ringo and I sat in the little small town jail cell.

"I know we're each entitled to one phone call! I'll call George and he can bring some money and get us out of here!"

"Ok, call the guy!"

"Excuse me! Mister!" A man walked up to the cell.

"Yes?"

"I'm entitled to a phone call!"

"Ok, come with me." He unlocked the door and grabbed Ringo's arm. He locked it back and they disappeared. I waited about three minutes before they came back and Ringo was put back in.

"Well?" I asked hopefully.

"No one answered." He sat down next to me.

"I'll try calling Wendy! She was still there when we left! Hey! Come back please!" The guy came back and took me to the phone. I dialed our room and waited eagerly but it just kept ringing. I just stood there, the last of my hope drained. The man took me back to the cell and locked us up again. I sat back down, Ringo took my hand and kissed it.

"It'll be ok, love."

Grace's POV

George and I went back to our rooms and we changed into our swimwear. We walked out across the parking lot and onto the beach, there was a surprisingly small amount of people at this area.

"It's nice how the entrance is practically in the backyard of the hotel!" I said as we took off our flip-flops and walked out looking for Lola and Ringo. But we didn't see them anywhere.

"Maybe they went down that way?" I pointed to the left and we started walking down the beach in search of the two people.

After a few hours with no sign of them we were both tired of walking.

"Why don't we stop Grace, I'm tired of walking. It's so hot and I've been walking next to the ocean for the past few hours trying to resist the temptation and keep looking for those two! Why don't we go for a swim?" He batted his eyes at me and I giggled.

"Ok, fine! With our luck they're at the hotel anyway!" George laughed and pick me up and carried me out to the water and threw me in. "Aghhh! It's cold!" We both laughed and swam around until the sun started to set. We watched the water turn orange and then we went back to the hotel.

Wendy's POV

Paul and I walked back to the hotel, it had been a great day! Paul is so sweet and funny! He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and grabbed a flower off of a bush, except it didn't come off so after standing there for a minute while he pulled, bent and twisted the flower stem he handed it to me and we both laughed and continued walking. The flower actually had a horrible smell but it was pretty so I didn't say anything. When the hotel came into view Paul stopped.

"Would you like to go out for dinner first?" I then remembered we had missed lunch.

"Sure Paul!" We turned around and laughed when we passed the Bush again. We went to a little restaurant with an outside porch thing. We sat down and ordered two cokes which we sipped as we watched the sun setting. Paul scooted closer and put his arm around me, oh let them talk! I don't care! I laid my head on his shoulder and sighed contentedly.
