Hello and welcome to Chapter 7! Be aware, I DON'T own Grojband or the songs in this fanfic. Enjoy :D

A New Beginning

Chapter 7: Vacation Time

Corey's POV.

Laney and I have been together for about eight months now, our fan base has increased, and the band's never been happier. The only problem is that Spring Break is happening for the next two weeks and Sarluca & Comiski's is going to be closed the entire time. We've been trying to look for gigs anywhere to cover our boredom but so far nothing.

On the plus note, Trina's planning on moving out to live with Chris. Hopefully after that she won't be able to screw with our gigs, or us. Especially Laney and I. So far, we've kept our couple status as a low profile. We've talked about telling Kin and Kon but we think they'll try to make fun of us.

So far all the band has done today is sigh since there's nothing to do. "Maybe some T.V. will help." I say while lying on the stage. I do what I usually do and kick my shoe off. It hits the T.V. and instead of "What Dat?" with Buzz Newsworthy, we get a promo for a new reality show called: Total Drama All Stars.

"Hey Laney, wasn't your cousin Gwen on that show?" I hear Kin ask reminding me of that. "Yeah, she's been in almost every season." Laney replies.

I look to my right to see a girl walk in to the garage. "KIN!" She squeals and runs dead on for Kin whom she squeezes till he can't breathe.

"Excuse me but. . . Kin, who is this?" Laney helps him out of the girl's grasp and he breathes heavily. "This is Jessica, my stalker"

I'm surprised. The entire band has stalkers but I never knew Kin had one. "Why didn't you tell us about her, she needs to be added to the stalker board." I point to a board of all the groupies that have stalked us including Kate, Alley, Alana, Lilly, Jenna, Greg, and Bethany.

"Guys, Kin didn't tell you because WE didn't even know about her till last night." Kon sticks up for his brother.

"Well, I haven't been stalking Kin for that long. . . 2. . . maybe 3 years sounds about right heh" Jessica chuckles as I pull a camera out of the desk drawer.

"Say, Stalker for life!* FLASH! The picture gets taken and ready to scan for the wall. I forgot I had a search opened on the computer for gigs and one catches my eye. "Hey guys, I might've found us a gig at a resort in Sunset Island, British Columbia. This may be a new spin for Grojband. Travel to a different part of North America!"

"Sounds epic Core, but HOW exactly are we gonna get there? Even though we don't have school this or next week, the money we got from Sarluca & Comiski's doesn't really give us much adventure." Laney tries to warn me. Just then I push my finger to her lips like I usually do. "Shh shh shh shh." She smiles and blushes whenever I do this. "Lanes, don't worry, I've got a plan that just might work!"

* (TRANSITION) WICKED COOL TRANSITION! *

Laney's POV.

We get our instruments loaded onto the train and stored on the caboose. After that we grab our bags and head for our cabins. Corey and I share one, Kin and Kon share one, and the groupies share one.

I still am curious on how Corey scored this. "Core, how exactly did you get us the private train?"

"Nick Mallory still owed me a couple favors, and ironically enough, he moved to help his Dad work on the railroad."

"Really?" I don't really think he's telling the full truth. "And. . . I paid him $250?"

"That sounds more like it Core."

We enter our cabin and close the door behind us. After putting our suitcases on the racks above the seats, Corey locks the door, pulls the blinds shut on the window leading to the hallway, and pulls me close. "Come here beautiful." We tilt our heads and kiss passionately for about ten minutes.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Three knocks came from our door and made us jump. "Knock knock?" I recognize the voice to be Kin's. "Time for dinner guys! Tonight we feast!"

"Well that scared me as much as when you guys welcomed me back." Corey laughs and gives me a last kiss before we leave for dinner.

At dinner, we have a buffet kind of like Cici's Pizza. The twins ravage all the cheese they can get their hands on.

"Oh man! I'm glad I'm not sharing a cabin with them." Corey's joke makes me giggle a little bit. We look in the middle of the room to find an orange soda fountain to fill our drinks. "Nick's Dad's train system is pretty sweet!" I say. Out of nowhere, we hear "Nick Mallory's Dad knows what the people love." We all turn to see Nick.

"Nick! Thanks again for helping us with the trip!" Corey thanks him. "Nick Mallory's always here to help 'Little Riffin'." Nick then goes to the front car to help his dad with the engine as we gather around the table and have a toast. "To Grojband!" Corey starts. "To Grojband!" All our glasses clank together as we start eating.

When we're done with dinner, everyone else is tired and they go to their cabins. Corey and I happily return to ours where we lock the door and pull the blinds down. I set him down and grab an acoustic guitar. "I want to show you a new song I've been working on."

"Fine by me, any song you sing is magical." He puts his hand on my shoulder as I start playing.

(Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway)

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til I touch the sky
I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And Breakaway
Out of the dakness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love,
And I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change,
And Breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleeping under palm trees
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Far away
And Breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til I touch the sky
I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change,
And Breakaway
Out of the darkness and into te sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
And I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change,
And Breakaway...

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging round revolving doors
Baby I don't know where they'll take me
But, gotta keep moving on moving on,
Fly away, Breakaway

I'll spread my wings and learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
Gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And Breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun,
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change...
And Breakaway, Breakaway, Breakaway

I stop playing and turn to see his reaction. A tear was forming in his eye. "Lanes. . . that was beautiful."

My hand wipes away his tear as it falls down his face as I steal his line from our second kiss. "Don't cry my love." He smiles and we kiss and hope not to stop for hours.

CHAPTER 7 IS COMPLETE. PM me some of your ideas, I may use them in my next chapter :D Thanks For Coming Out Everyone! *Slams Groj Door*
