Hey guys! I don't own anything except my characters, of course. It would kick if I did. I wouldn't be writing this. I'd be rich ^_^ Thanks to my idiotic prep friend (Lol Sam just playin') for the inspiration to this chapter.

Diary Excerpt dated "Morning of day3 of my journey"

Dear log,

            It's 6:00 AM. I had the most amazing night last night. I'd tell you the whole story, but it looks like Riley is starting to wake up. He still has his eyes closed, but he is rolling around, so I should hurry up. We arrived at the hotel at about 5 in the afternoon. They gave Riley the softest bed in the building with his own room. The guardians got cots. We got cots! Plus, as if it couldn't get worse, all the cots were stuffed side by side into, literally, a closet. I couldn't sleep at all. The best thing this stupid hotel did for me, Gideon, and Jordan was give us a meal free of charge. They pampered Riley like he was a maester. It was so unfair! But I could tell Riley felt bad. The boys could, too. So we bared it. Back to my point, though. I was up for at least 2 hours after we decided to sleep. I kept tossing on the little cot, its hard surface agitating my back muscles. "Can't sleep either?" I heard Riley whisper over from the doorway. I looked at him and smiled. "Come here." I gladly climbed out of the cot and followed him onto his bedroom. He took my chin into his hand after we reached his doorway and locked my lips with his. We stayed like that, even after we reached his bed. I can stop smiling now. I wonder if the other two heard us at all. I'll be able to tell by their looks at breakfast. Speaking of which, Riley just sat up and is blinking the sleep out of his eyes. He's smiling at me now and beckoning me over. We have at least two hours until breakfast. I'll write later.

            Riley and me sat the large wooden table over looking the ocean shore. We couldn't stop smiling at each other. Jordan and Gideon were at the other end of the table, exchanging nervous glances.  That made my smile even wider.

"Yevon, those cots were uncomfortable," I said as I looked down at Jordan. He looked at me as if he were surprised I was talking to him and scarfed down some eggs. I held back my laugher. Riley went ahead and laughed. I joined him. Gideon smiled at Riley, the devilish glint in his eye. "Sounds like you two had fun last night," he said, looking at both Riley and me.

"Gideon!" I looked at him, wide eyed. Jordan had a small smirk on his face. He was too shy to fully smile. Riley wrapped his arm around my shoulders, his eyes brimmed with tears of laughter. I wasn't even going to ask what jokes they were sharing. Gideon's laughing voice was too deep for me to make out any of his words. I snuggled up close to Riley's chest and closed my eyes. I was exhausted. After all, I barely did get any sleep during the night.

*-~-*~-~*-~-*

We left the hotel a few hours after. Riley forced us to say thank you to all the staff. We mumbled and shot dirty looks as we walked out the door. "You put us somewhere like that again, I'll kick you to the edge of Spira," Gideon growled as we walked down the road.

"I was comfortable," Riley said, looking across our little row to Gideon.

"I bet you were, Ri," Jordan said, smiling at me.

"Shut up!" I reached my arm over and slapped his chest playfully.

"Well, you two could have at least let me have the bed once you were done. Those cots were painful as hell." Gideon pretended to scowl, but he couldn't keep a straight face.

"That's it, I'm not talking to either of you!" I sped my walked a few paces, but laughed and returned to my normal spot.

"Hey, you two decide to do that again, do us a favor and find a different hotel," Jordan said, laughing.

"I haaate you!" I starting beating on his shoulder. Gideon and Riley were laughing up a storm.
