" What!?!" Cali screamed in my ear - a quick jab from Lei turned the scream to one of anger. " Hey, watch it willya?. . . .Who's idea was it to spend our off-time in Mexico?"

" Mine," Lei said, practically jumping up and down from excitement. " It's soooo cool! We'll be staying at the Sun Princess Resort! And it has a spa, a gym, an Olympic pool, …"

" A TV? " Cali asked, now interested.

" Of course! It's a resort! Rene got us the Presidential suite!"

" OK! When do we leave?"

" Now," I said, finally speaking up. " Let's go."

I stood out on the balcony overlooking the sea and enjoyed the stunning seascape. The cool sea breeze as the sun set was a relief from the heat as we'd spent the entire day at the bazaar. I let my hair down from it's restricting bun and ran my fingers through it, wondering where we'd go for dinner.

Hearing a phone ring, I snapped to attention and answered it before it would ring twice.

" Rene," I said in my crisp, business tone.

* Hello, this is Nagi . . . from Schwartz. Brad wants to speak to you * someone said in Japanese.

' What the hell?' I thought. So, Brad had gotten their tech genius to look me up, huh? I made a mental note to change our numbers. If Schwartz could find us, so could others.

" Rene."

" That's my name. Don't wear it out." Even if I couldn't see his face, I knew he was smiling.

" So, where are you?"

" Could you be more subtle than that? Besides, what is it to you where I am?"

" Nothing. Just wondering."

" Liar . . . If you could find out my number, you should know where I am. Even without the tracing program you're using right now."

" What do you mean?"

" Please don not degrade my intelligence. Au revoir."

" Rene . . ." I hung up.

Rene came in from the balcony looking mighty pissed-off. She threw her cellphone unto the coffee table and plopped down on the sofa next to Cali and me. Both of us were engaged in a bloody game of Mutant Acdemy; I was winning, of course.

" Why so glum, chum?" I asked Rene, giving her a sideways glance. She opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it again and lapsed into moody silence. " Hey, guess what?" I said brightly, trying to lighten the mood.

" What?" Cali and Rene said, with curious and exasperated tones, respectively.

" N'Sync went to Cancun to film the MTV Spring Break Special! I'm breathing the same air that Lance Bass once breathed!" Both of them groaned loudly ( and exaggeratedly, I might add). They were tired of hearing about my * cough, cough* little boyband obsession, and my infatuation with the blonde hottie named Lance.

" Augghh, no more Lance!" Rene said jokingly.

" I know, one more thing about that weird-looking Mississippi albino and I'm going to SCREAM!" Cali joined in.

" That's it!" I paused the game and tackled Cali roughly. We fought for a while until Rene spoke.

" Who wants pizza?"

Both Cali and I paused mid-flight to stare at Rene with hungry eyes. " I want Hawaiian!"

" No mushroom!"

" Hawaiian!"

" Mushroom!"

" We're getting pepperoni." Rene said finally, and went off to the balcony to call the pizza place.

Meanwhile, Cali and I continued our game, and I managed to win yet again. :)

* Ding, Dong *

" Pizza's here!"

I half-glanced up as Lei leapt off the floor and ran for the door. I took advantage of the distraction to turn off that damn " mutant academy" game. Time for a little FF9!!! Kuja and Zidane, here I come!

" Oh my God!!! Where did you get that t-shirt?!!!" , Lei's voice rang out.

Rene peered in curiously from the kitchen.

" Pizza's here." , I explained and she nodded, withdrawing slowly.

Lei came into view, a girl about her age in tow. Wearing a Lance t-shirt, autographed-explains the scream.

She was pretty tall, an inch taller than me, with shoulder length auburn hair. She gazed dispassionately around the room with narrow grey eyes, an earring set above her left eyebrow. I noted the fact that she was more muscular then me. I was lanky and still undergoing spurts of growth.

Lei was all over her and I could see why. The girl fit into her distinction of "funky". Combat boots, black gloves and a dragon tattoo entirely covering her right arm.

But somehow, she-felt-wrong-.

I watched her cautiously as she moved to set the food on the table.

* SNAP *

o_O


. . . my FF9 disk4 . . . .

I seethed. I felt the anger rising, my hands growing warm beneath the gloves used to hold back my powers. Through the emotional haze I noted Lei blanch and the older girl slowly turning . . . . shrug . . . . and - smirk -, " Sorry man."

THAT'S F***ING IT!!!!

I socked her, her head snapping back violently. She ought to be pretty damn glad I was wearing gloves, or her head would have- flew-off!!! And made a pretty pattern on the wall too!

* WHAM *

. . . .I blinked up, confused. I was on . . . . the floor?

THAT F***ING B****!!!

I tore off my gloves, ignoring Lei's meep and aimed a punch at the red-head. She dodged. There was nice big hole on the wall now. I missed!!! S#!T!!!

I launched myself at her again, then smirked as she tumbled , her legs had tangled in the controller wire. Gotcha!!! My fist sailed down -

and caught fire.

" Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" , I ran around the room waving my flaming arm, " Ow! Ow! Ow! " , Rene rushed in with a pitcher and drenched me. I stood in the middle of the room, sogging up, and my hand hurt. . .

Then, I cried.

I rarely cried. The last time I cried was when mom and dad died. But, I cried now. I felt like crying, so I f***ing well did it!!!

Then, I felt someone patting my head. Pizza girl, with a bruise on her cheek, a tiny smile tugging at one side of her lips. I rubbed my eyes, " You burned me . . ."

She shrugged, " Saa . . .I have a copy of the game if you love it that much." I felt myself grin.

The phone rang and Lei held it up, " Cali, it's Shu-shu."

Bad timing love . . .

As I walked to answer the phone, Rene called out, " Not longer than a minute! They're tracking us!"

Fine. . .as long as I talked to him. Let Rene deal with Ms. Firestarter.

. . . .she better replace my game . . .
