A music group lived in a large mansion. That mansion was white with a red roof. Several foster children lived in this mansion alongside the rock group. One of the most noteworthy of the occupants was a man with short black hair and glasses. He was Zack Morgan, the security guard for Jem and the Holograms. His main job was to keep the Misfits at bay which was a full time occupation. This man had a budding relationship with the new drummer Raya Alonso. All of the other members of the Holograms could sense that this relationship was about to come to a boil.

The Holograms had spent the past two weeks rehearsing for an upcoming concert in Hawaii. Today was the last day before that concert. All of the members of the Holograms were in a small music studio busy making the final preparations except for Raya who had left to get a glass of water. Zack was sitting at the dining room table involved with an important meeting. He had a walkie talkie close by in case trouble arose.

"I can't wait to get to Hawaii!" Kimber exclaimed excitedly.

"Hawaii is a romantic place," Aja mused. "I wouldn't be surprised if things heated up over there."

"What do you mean?" Shana wanted to know.

"You know," Jem put out with a wink. "Between a certain drummer and a certain security guard."

"Oh, I get it," Shana giggled.

"I thought that Zack was going to turn into a statue when he came into the dugout and saw Raya in her uniform," Aja explained.

"Let's face it!" Kimber blurted out. "They are meant to be together!"

"How do you know?" Jem probed.

"Because he can't dance with anyone else," Kimber answered. "He was Prince Charming with Raya and he almost crippled me."

"Aren't you exaggerating?" Shana asked.

"Maybe a little," Kimber confessed.

Back in the main part of the mansion, Raya found out what Zack's meeting was all about. He was engrossed in a game with Candyland with Ba Nee, Ashley and Deidre. It was at this moment that Raya started think that maybe it was time to advance their relationship. She could see how good he was with children. She also knew how much the girls all looked up to Zack. She eventually woke up from her thoughts and decided to see who was winning.

"Who's winning?" Raya asked while tapping Zack on the shoulder.

Zack was so engrossed in the game, Raya's contact made him jump and drop his game piece.

"I'm sorry," Raya apologized.

"Ba Nee is winning," Zack answered while blushing. "I keep getting stuck in a tar pit."

"Poor baby," Raya teased. "I was on my way to the kitchen to get a drink of water."

"Let me know if the Marx sisters show up," Zack ordered.

"Okay," Raya replied with a thumbs-up just before leaving.

"You must really like her," Deidre guessed.

"I…" Zack muttered.

"We may be kids, but we're not blind," Ashley pointed out.

"I guess I do like her," Zack gave in.

There was a lot of activity the next day because it was time for everyone to get ready for their trip to Hawaii. Zack got up three hours before so he had enough time to make all of the necessary preparations. The last thing he did before leaving was to call his parents to let them know that he would be gone for two weeks.

Zack lugged his suitcase and carry-on bag downstairs and went outside to find Jerrica passing out the plane tickets. When she gave Zack his ticket, she grinned mischievously and winked at him. Zack crinkled his brow as he tried to figure out what that meant. He just gave up and climbed into Rio's van. The trip was uneventful while Zack watched the scenery go by.

When Zack boarded the plane, he saw that the Holograms including Rio were scattered all over coach. When he found his seat, he learned in an instant why Jerrica had winked at him. She had arranged for Zack to sit next to Raya.

"Would you like the window seat?" Raya offered.

"No, thank you," Zack refused while taking a Nancy Drew book out of his bag and putting the rest in the overhead compartment.

While Zack was reading his book, Raya was engrossed in a crossword puzzle until she came to a clue that she didn't know.

"Zack, what is six letters for Nancy Drew's tomboy friend?" Raya probed.

"George," Zack replied.

"You're smart," Raya complimented. "I bet that you could help me finish this."

Zack spent the next hour helping Raya with her puzzle until she dropped her pen. Zack and Raya both reached for it at the same time. Raya got there first and Zack's hand landed on top of hers sending a spark through his body. Zack blushed and pulled his hand back, but Raya just smiled. At this moment, Zack's emotions were all churned up. He got it in his mind that he wanted to kiss her. He wondered if Raya would let him. He put his book down and was just about to go for it when the stewardess brought the meal.

While Zack was eating, a bunch of colored novelty snakes burst from Aja's plate when she lifted the tray. He knew the suspects were limited so he looked around the plane. That was when he realized that the head witch would never consent to fly coach because of her rich father. He needed a way to inspect first class so he waved the stewardess over.

"How may I help you, sir?" the blonde stewardess offered.

"I am interested in how planes work so I was wondering if you gave tours of the cockpit," Zack hedged.

"I'll ask the captain," the stewardess promised.

Shortly after that, the stewardess came back and consented to take Zack into the cockpit.

"Now, we're getting somewhere," Zack thought with a sinister grin.

While walking behind the stewardess, Zack used his peripheral vision to look over the passengers. He saw a woman wearing sunglasses who had her hair covered with a scarf. Another woman further down had red hair. What was curious to Zack was that he could see a strand of blue hair sticking out from the red. The next woman that interested Zack was wearing a large yellow hat that failed to conceal the white hair on her neck. The final woman had brown hair and was pretending to look out the window.

After fifteen minutes in the cockpit, Zack started walking back towards coach. He stopped briefly to wave and smirk at the woman wearing the scarf because he was sure that it was hiding green hair. He then returned to coach where Jerrica was waiting for him.

"Report," Jerrica ordered.

"They're in there," Zack revealed.

"I thought so," Jerrica sighed.

"You are so sneaky," Raya complimented when Zack sat back down.

That night was the Holograms first concert in Hawaii. Zack spent the whole time backstage with binoculars looking for trouble. He was completely on edge because he knew that his favorite playmates had followed them onto the plane. Surprisingly, nothing out of the ordinary happened. He wondered what was wrong with the Misfits.

The next day found Zack having a picnic lunch on the beach with the Holograms. After lunch, he tried to read his book but he didn't get very far because Raya was wearing a red and white striped bathing suit and smearing suntan lotion on herself.

"Zack, could you please put some lotion on my back?" Raya requested which caused his book to pop out of his hands.

"S-sure," Zack agreed as he took the bottle and followed Raya's request. He went back to his blanket sweating a bit more than usual.

After relaxing for a while, the Holograms played a game of volleyball. The exertion helped distract Zack from his bubbling emotions for a while. The game was close but Rio's team beat Zack's team.

Zack and Raya spent most of their first night in Hawaii walking on the beach and holding hands. The idea of kissing her was blaring in his brain. He was hesitant to do it because he did not know if Raya felt the same way. She broke through his doubts when she started talking with him.

"I like a man who is good with kids," Raya pointed out.

"You do?" Zack asked.

"All the girls look up to you and a lot of them have your picture in their room," Raya explained.

"I see," Zack answered.

"I care a great deal about you!" Raya exclaimed. "I know you want to take things slow, but I don't want to do that anymore!"

"I don't want to do that either," Zack replied as he put his hand on Raya's waist and leaned in for a kiss.

The kiss was lingering and delightful. He then put his arms around her back and squeezed her in an intimate hug which she gladly returned.

"I love you!" Zack blurted out breathlessly.

"I love you too!" Raya answered while collecting one more kiss.

Zack and Raya walked back to the hotel holding hands not knowing they were being spied on from a distance by a certain green haired witch and her followers. Zack felt as if he was in another world while he was escorting his new girlfriend back to the room she was sharing with Aja.

"Goodnight, boyfriend," Raya called out when they got to the room.

"See you tomorrow, girlfriend," Zack replied just before Raya left.

Zack was so spaced out by everything that had happened that he did not see his four favorite idiots sneaking up on him from behind. Before he knew what was happening, Pizzazz threw a burlap sack over his head.

"Hey!" Zack protested.

"I've got him!" Pizzazz cried out in glee
