Unexpected Happenings

Author's Note: I first want to thank those that reviewed cause I thought no one would. I'm glad you proved me wrong. I actually enjoy writing this stuff. So here goes another chapter.

P.S: I don't own RE. That sucks.

Chapter 2- Happy Thoughts

" Sherry, why must you make it so tight?", Claire complained.

" Because, that's how I braid, now be quiet." Sherry retorted. She had seen Claire in a ponytail since Raccoon and just couldn't take it anymore.

" Besides, we're all going to dinner, don't you want to look a little different?"

Claire grimaced as Sherry pulled on the comb a little too hard.

" Yes, but you're making a big deal out of it and. ow!!" Claire was cut short by the sudden pain in the back of her head. " Damn it Sherry, forget it. I just leave my hair down. Just stop."

Trying to surpress a laugh, Sherry undid the little she had done to Claire's head. " There, I undid it. Claire you look even better with your hair down."

Claire took a look in the mirror. Her auburn hair was hanging just below shoulders. She took Sherry's comb and went through it a few times.

"Hmm, It does look different." She smiled at herself. "Thanks, Sherry."

"Anytime. Hey, did you tell Leon about dinner before he left?" Sherry asked.

" Come to thing of it, I don't think I have. You want to tell him? He should be at the pool with Rebecca and Carlos."

Sherry looked at the pool outside. Leon and Carlos had just thrown Becky in. After that, Becky gets out, runs pass Leon knocking him into the pool, and attacks Carlos with a flurry of hard slaps and "love taps". Carlos then takes off somewhere with Becky behind him screaming her lungs.

" Carlos Oliviera, get you South American ass back here.!!."

Meanwhile Claire and Sherry as well as Leon are laughing their asses off. When she finally had calmed down Sherry reached into her bag and took out her bathing suit. " I'm going for a swim. And you're going to find something to wear for dinner. Ok?"

Claire wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes. " Yeah, Sherry."

Sherry had finished putting her bathing suit on and was just out the door when she turned around.

" Make sure you pick out something extra nice for lover boy." With that, she was gone.

Claire didn't have time to ask who was her lover boy. Plus, she had a feeling she already knew.

"Leon isn't my lover boy. Well, not yet anyway." Taking advantage of her peace and quiet Claire quickly began to sort through her formal wardrobe. "Sherry's right, I have to do something different. Leon won't know what hit him." Smiling devilishly she got to work.

Sherry turned around the corner to see a huge indoor pool in front of her. Olympic sized. Lawn chairs with passengers, big and small, we're lined around the edge. On the far side, she spotted Leon and went over to him.

" Leon, what's up." Sherry leaned over the chair so he was facing up at her.

" Hey Sherry. You just missed one hell of a show. The Lovebirds had quite the interlude." He chuckled at the sight of Carlos running for his life from a 22 year old Rebecca Chambers.

" You know, any minute now they'll come around that corner all lovey-dovey again. I guarantee it." Sherry pointed over to the corner.

" Yeah, makes me wish I brought my magnum with me." Sherry burst out in laughter.

" Really." She looked over to see Becky and Carlos return hands around each others waist looking at each other. All lovey-dovey.'

Leon shook his head. Sherry smiled. " I told you Leon, I told you."

Rebecca came to sit next to Sherry and Leon. Carlos wasn't far behind.

"Hey Sherry. Leon." Her voice was perky as usual.

"Hi Becky and Carlos. Where did you two go?"

Carlos answered before Becky could think up an excuse appropriate for Sherry. " To the gift shop."

"Oh. Well I'm going to go and swim. Later." Sherry got up and walked over to the small diving board. She had gotten into diving since Umbrella's demise. No one else new so when she dove into the pool like she did everyone else was surprised.

Leon was wide-eyed. " Did you see that? I didn't know she was into diving."

Rebecca turned to him with a similar face. " Me neither."

" So Becky what did you and Carlos really do after we threw you in? I'm curious."

"We made up.' She stated simply.

Leon didn't want to dwell too long on as to what 'making up" was.

Carlos felt like talking about someone else's relationship instead of hearing about his own.

" So Leon, did Sherry tell you about dinner tonight?"

" No, I think she meant to. It's obviously Chris and Jill's idea."

" What you didn't know. You got something special for Claire?" His smile let off the impression he wasn't talking about dinner.

Leon was amazed at the fact that everyone knew he had feelings for Claire.

" I guess you already know I like her right?"

Becky interjected not bothering to open her eyes. " We all do. Except for you know, Claire. Are you going to do something about it?"

" Yeah, but what?" Leon leaned back into the chair.

" Just spend time with her, I mean you may know her well but there's still a lot you don't know about her." Carlos looked at Becky then at his bruised arm as if to prove his point.

" That's for damn sure!" Leon turned to see Chris and Jill walking towards them hand in hand.

Jill pushed a stray bang of hair out of her face. " Trying to give Leon advice I see." She looked over at the over affectionate couple. " They should know unlike Chris here."

Chris stopped combing his hair back. " Hey, I resent that! Jill just rolled her eyes.

By this time Sherry had finish her free style session and was making her way back to the group.

"Hey Chris and Jill. Come to remind us about dinner?"

Jill looked at her watch. " Yeah, it's almost six. We just came to tell you to be ready at seven. Meet us at the restaurant."

Becky, Carlos, Leon, and Sherry acknowledged the announcement and begin to clean up.

Leon told Chris that he was going to get ready as well as the others and they all went back to their separate cabins.

Jill looked at Chris and smiled. " Don't you think we should get ready also?"

Chris pondered this. And reached a conclusion. " We've got an hour. We can get dress in about 20 minutes."

Jill narrowed her eyes. " What's going on in that sex driven mind of yours, Redfield", her hands on her hip like they usually are when she's thinking or expecting something.

Chris smiled. " Don't worry Jill. You'll see for yourself, 20 minutes is all I need." He pulled her into a hug and gave her a kiss. A light prelude of what was to come.



Author's Note: I'm more of the action/romance type but I could get used to this. I enjoyed writing that chapter and hope you enjoyed reading it. Please review and let me know what you think. Did I do all right for a first-timer? Think about those Nike commercials when you do. Just do it. Alrighty then. Oh yeah, I wanna give a special thanks to Diddly Day. She was the one who suggested I write a fanfic. Be sure to read her stories too. She a hell of a writer.
