~ Okay, in this chapter I'm hoping to have the people do more talking, I was re-reading my previous chapters and I decided that I didn't care to much for them. So I'm just going to do this little adjustment, and I hope it turns out then I'm going to change chapters 1-3 a little as well. ~

Elise let out a sigh of relief when she saw JP was still asleep. She didn't want to intrude if he was dancing naked or anything; ideas were popping into her head now and she wished she brought a camera. She tiptoed over to JP, staring down at his sleeping position. He breathed very slowly, strangely, it almost seemed like he wasn't breathing at all.

"JP?" Elise gently shook his sleeping form, not wanting him to be too pissed off when he woke up.

"Mmmm." JP groaned as he stirred in his bed, stuffing his head back into his pillow.

'Well, this is working nicely.' Elise just stared at him, thinking of a "nice" way to wake him up. She wondered if this was a really good idea in the first place, coming in his room and all. JP's back was exposed but black sheets covered his lower half. 'Uh oh, I hope he doesn't sleep naked.' Elise thought about this, she sure as hell didn't want him to suddenly get out of bed with nothing on under. Elise paced back and forth beside his bed as she came up with a plan; she would have to take a quick peak, just to make sure he wasn't in his birthday suit.

'Ok, Elise, easy girl.' Elise bit her lip while slowly grabbed the thin sheets and started pulling them off JP.



JP's eyes fluttered open when he felt someone touching his back, his vision still very blurry from his recent slumber. Cold, blind, and confused, he felt his cozy warm blankets being slowly lifted off from his body. His focus was slowly making out shapes and colors, and he stared at the person before him. Tall and with very short blonde hair, the predator was definitely a man, or so it looked to JP. Immediately frightened, JP jerked his head up screaming and kicked the figure, knocking Elise flat on her bottom.

"RAPE!!!!" JP screamed as he jumped out of his bed and started smacking Elise with a pillow. "You sick perverted son-of-a-bitch!"

Elise instinctively covered her head in defense, while listening to the frightened man shout threats to her in French.

"JP STOP!!! I'M NOT GOING TO MOLEST YOU!" JP blinked as he recognized the voice, then looked at the model lying down on his floor.

"Elise, do not try that stunt ever again!" JP grabbed his thumping heart, dropped the pillow, and then fell backward onto his bed with relief. "What is wrong with you, woman?"

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?! You just attacked me you little bastard!" Elise licked her fingertips and tried to smooth the frizz down off her hair.

"I thought you were a man. And when a man starts touching your ass it doesn't feel too pretty."

"Yeah, well thanks for the compliment." Elise sighed and felt JP's gaze on her. "What the hell is your problem?"

"Did my clothes break your fall?"

Elise looked down under her butt and noticed that JP's shirt and pants were under her; they did in fact break her hard landing. "Yeah, actually they did." JP stared and lifted a blonde eyebrow. "WHAT?! Why are you staring at me like that?!"

"If you haven't noticed," JP stood back up and grazed his hand across his silky white boxers. "I am only wearing boxers. If you seriously like my body THAT much, then I suppose you can continue to sit on my clothes."

Elise got up and threw JP's jeans to him full force, hitting him smack dab in the stomach. With a few curses Elise stormed out of his room, slammed the door, and then plopped down on a couch. With her arms folded across her chest, she waited for her bare blonde peer to get dress.

A few minutes later, JP walked out in a different shirt then the one Elise sat on. He was now decked in a White tee shirt with a thin black stripe cutting across the center, and khaki cargo pants that hung too low, revealing a portion of his boxers.

"You felt a need to change shirt and pants?" She asked him rolling her eyes.

"The ones you sat on, they suddenly smelt funny, I didn't want to get an infection so I threw them away."

Elise growled as her cheeks flushed with anger. "You are extremely rude! My ass can not give you an infection!"

"I suppose you are right, they cannot give ME an infection, but on the other hand my outfit was contaminated for life."

JP smirked and Elise was filled with rage. "I don't need to take this shit! All I came in was to give you this." Elise took out the slip of paper and handed it to JP. "While you were sleeping and missing our lecture from Rahzel, he told us we needed to become Secret Santa's, some stupid publicity stunt for the media. Anyway, this is your person; you have to spend at least $150, and I know that won't be a problem for your budget."

JP cautiously took the name from Elise and looked at the name, and he smiled. "Did you look?"

"No dumbass, I didn't look! And you can't tell anyone else who you have either." JP nodded and neatly folded it back up, then safely stuck it in his pocket. He sighed and ran his fingers through his light golden hair.

"I apologize for loosing my temper, Elise. I'm not good at waking up."

Elise shrugged, "You're not forgiven, even though I'm actually pretty used to it. Zoe is the same way, every friggin' morning."

JP started to say something but was cut short when they both heard a banging on the door. A low, muffled voice echoed through the bus as Luther shouted to be let in. "JP!" he called as again he made a mad rumbling to get inside.

"I guess I should leave." Elise said as she slipped her boots on and opened the door for Luther. "I see you survived the chair."

Luther laughed as he stepped in. "Yeah, I survived, but boy that chair sure didn't!"

"Luther, please do not tell me you broke yet another chair?"

"Um. maybe."

Elise quietly slipped out of the bus as the 2 males continued to argue. She rubbed her arms to warm up. The air was now chilled as dusk crept up on Mesablanca. As she entered her own bus, she noticed Zoe and Kaori, waiting on their leather chairs for her arrival.



This was a little shorter chapter, I know, but I'll make up for it in the future, I promise! Just don't hurt me!!!
