Charlie knocked on Jody's apartment and she opened it. He stepped in and looked around.

"You ready to go?" He asked coolly.

"Yeah. Just let me get my bag." Jody went into her room and came back out with a large roller suitcase and a backpack. She slung the backpack over her shoulders and was about to pick up her other bag, but Charlie got it first.

"Come on, we don't wanna miss our flight."

They two left and Jody shut the door behind her. They walked down to the sidewalk and Charlie got them a cab. He loaded their bags into the trunk and then drove off to the airport.

"You know what this reminds me of?" Charlie asked, looking out the window.

Jody knew exactly what he meant. "Don't even think it Charlie."

Charlie and Jody got off the plane in Hawaii and started off to the small house by the beach. Charlie pulled out a set of keys and unlocked the wooden door. He pushed open the screen door and they walked in.

"Oh Charlie! It's so cute! I love it!" Jody looked around and then kissed her boyfriend. "I still can't believe you did all this! I love you."

Charlie smiled and set down their bags. "I love you too Jody. Come on, let's go to the beach."

They got changed into their suits and went out to the beach to start off the best week of their lives.

~~~!!~~~ (End of flashbacK) ~~~!!~~~

"Ok… sorry." Charlie shrugged and watched the tall buildings float by.

When they reached the airport, Charlie paid the driver and Jody started getting their bags. Charlie took his bag, and then Jody's as well.

"Can't I even hold my own bag?" Jody smiled, reaching for her suitcase.

Charlie turned so she couldn't reach the bag. "No, of course not. Come on."

They walked inside and a little more than an hour were settled in on the plane.

"Really Charlie, first class? Were do you get this kind of money? I know you don't get paid this much from dancing."

Charlie smiled. "My parents paid for it. Have you ever been in first class before?"

"No."

"Me neither." Charlie smiled and looked past Jody out the window as the plane took off.

He liked sitting by the window, but he knew that Jody loved it too, so he always let her have the window seat. He was just like that.

A few hours later Charlie opened his eyes and glanced over at Jody as the plane landed. She was still sleeping. He shook her, but she didn't wake up.

"Jody, wake up." He said.

Jody just mumbled and shifted positions. He sighed and kissed her softly. Jody's eyes popped open and she glared darkly at Charlie.

"Charlie! What the hell are you doing?"

Charlie bit his lip to keep from smiling. "You wouldn't wake up!"

Jody sighed angrily and rolled her eyes. "That is the last time you are ever kissing me… are we here?"

"Yes." Charlie stood up and grabbed Jody's backpack from the over head compartment. "Let's go."

Charlie and Jody filed out of the plane and into the airport.

"Tell me if you see my parents." Charlie said, looking around.

"Charlie, I've never seen your parents."

"Oh yeah." He said laughing. "Oh, there they are. Come on."

Charlie led them over to two people standing by some old blue chairs. Jody took her bag and watched as Charlie hugged them.

"Hi mom, dad." Charlie said smiling.

Jody looked at Charlie's parents. His mom was only a little taller than she was, and she had dark brown hair and deadly brown eyes. His father was the same height as Charlie. He had slightly graying hair and the same gorgeous eyes as Charlie.

"Um, this is my friend Jody Sawyer. Jody, these are my parents."

Jody shook Charlie's parent's hands and smiled brightly. "Hi, it's nice to meet you."

"You too dear. Charlie, how are Eva and Erik?" Mrs. Simms asked.

"Um… ok. They couldn't come because they don't vacation for another few weeks."

Mrs. Simms nodded, then suddenly her eyes lit up. "Wait! Jody Sawyer… aren't you Charlie's girlfriend? Oh, last summer he just would not stop talking about you! I'm so glad you could make it this year! How long have you been together again?"

Charlie glanced at Jody, who was bright red and staring at the floor. "Um… well… we're not… together anymore Mom." He tried explaining.

Mrs. Simms's expression changed slightly. "Oh, well then, I'm sorry to hear that dear. Well, it's nice that you're still friends. Come on then, let's get your bags!"

"We're happy to have you here Jody." Mr. Simms said nicely as they walked off to baggage claim.

Charlie walked closer to Jody and whispered in her ear, "I'm so sorry about that Jody! I totally forgot the mention that we we're together. I forgot they even knew about you!"

Jody shivered from the feeling of Charlie's hot breath on her neck. "Ok." She spat out nervously. "I didn't tell my parents either. I got a message from my mom the other day and she asked how you were."

"Really?" Charlie smiled.

"Yeah… but… she did call you Chuckie…"

Charlie laughed. "Well, it's not like I ever met them anyway."

Jody giggled and they continued whispering to each other behind Charlie's parents.

"Something tells me that it's not completely over between them." Mrs. Simms noted to her husband.

"Now, you stay out of Charlie's love life ok? We don't want another Cecelia episode." Mr. Simms replied.

Mrs. Simms nodded. "You're right."

They got Charlie and Jody's bags, then piled into Mr. Simms car and drove to Charlie's house.
