~*~

Manndee grabbed Wood's hand and jerked him forward breaking in to a run. The other four followed them as Manndee raced back to the entrance of Toon Town.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw that Derek and Chalice hadn't moved an inch, well, besides the fact that they were now in each others arms, snogging like there was no tomorrow.

Kimber kind of sighed happily as she looked at them. "That's so cute!"

Manndee on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. She went over and wrenched on Derek's ear, breaking their kiss and jerking him to his feet.

"What the hell?" he asked, rubbing his ear. "OW!"

Manndee abruptly hugged the poor confused boy. "Don't you ever scare me like that again!"

"What'd I do again?" Derek asked, leaning over to Kimber.

"Did you even notice we were gone?" Ginny asked, her accent soft and a bit shy.

At the blank look Derek gave here, Manndee shook her head.

"Hi guys!" Alex called walking up to them.

Everyone turned to the young male. "Are we ready to meet up with the other groups?" he asked them.

Manndee nodded, and blushed as she noticed Wood was looking at her.

"I know you haven't had much time here," Alex explained, "but we need to get a move on if we want to beat rush hour. And believe me," he addressed the British students, "we don't want to be in L.A. rush hour." Manndee and Kimber looked at each other and simultaneously shuddered, making Ginny and Dean crack a smile. 'Hey Alex?' he called out in his mind, waiting for his best friend to reply. 'Could you find the other group and please meat us on Main Street right in front of Adventure land?'

'Sure love!' Alex called merrily. 'Hey Jas? Grab your group and come meet us! You heard Alex right?' she asked.

'Yeah. Later sis!'

"The other groups are going to meet us in about ten minutes. Let's go guys," Alex told them and led them off toward the entrance to the park.

"How did he know that?" Ginny asked Tony, grabbing his arm.

"It's a long story," he told her. "I'm not sure if I'm the one to explain it. But it's called kything."

"Derek, I'm sorry," Manndee told him, walking up to where he was walking with Chalice.

"It's ok," Derek tried to assure her.

"No it's not! I was put in charge and I could have gotten you kidnapped! Or worse, and you know it," Manndee told him as they neared the entrance of adventure land.

"Would you feel any better if you were my slave for the next week?" Derek asked, grinning slyly.

Manndee smacked him upside the head. "OW!" He saw her grinning face and smiled. She grinned as she saw everyone else. Donovan was talking to a shy girl from Hogwarts, Hermione was her name if she remembered correctly. Ben had his arm around Alex, as usual, but he was also glaring daggers at an older blonde boy, Draco, who was talking to Sabre and Craig. Elizabeth was talking to Tana, Ron and Jamadam. She grinned as the thought about Jasmine and Adam. Two best friends, always seemed to be joined at the him, thus the nickname "Jamadam."

"Hi love!" Alex called, grinning over to her namesake. "Bout time you got here!"

"Shut up," he told her, smiling slightly. "You guys all ready?"

"Yeah," Krista said, looking up from Harry. "I always wanted to come to Disney Land, but I guess 3 hours didn't cover it." She shook her head sadly.

"Have we really been here three hours?" Tana asked, looking down at her watch.

"Yes, and if we don't leave soon we'll be stuck in rush hour," Alex told them all, starting to lead them out of the park. "We'll stop for sodas after we get out of L.A, okay guys?"

"Yeah," they agreed.

They all approached a small bus. "Are you sure this will fit us all, babe?" Alex called from the middle of the group.

"C'mon! I got someone to magic it for us. Course it'll fit." He leaned over and whispered something to Donovan which Jasmine caught and burst out laughing.

"What?" Harry asked her. "I missed it."

"Alex just was muttering about how she was supposed to be the smart one."

The petite girl reached into her pocket, searching for her wand, her eyes narrowing.

"It's not worth it," a cool voice told her, a hand placed on her shoulder. "We'll get him back later."

"You'll help me?" Alex asked, turning to see Draco Malfoy standing behind her.

He smirked. "Sure. I have nothing better to do."

They all started pilling onto the bus. Alex gathered them in the first room, as it seemed to be as big as a house in there. "After we get out of L.A. I want you all out here, as we'll be going and getting drinks and stuff. But after that, I think we should all play a game of some sort. Any ideas?" he asked.

"I think, since it will be my birthday in a week, I should be able to choose!" Alex told them all, standing up away from Ben.

"Ok. What do you want to do, shortie?" Donovan called.

Alex glared over at him. "Be nice!" she scolded. Krista laughed.

"But you *are* short!"

"Shut up Krista!"

Alex walked up and stood behind her. "And she's weak," he grinned. "She couldn't even fend me off when I first met her!"

At everyone's laughter, she tried to defend herself. "Imagine this guys. Me, lying helpless in Donovan's arms, while he's trying to get into my pants!" she told them all, glaring pointedly at Alex. Well, it caused them to laugh harder.

"I knew you two always had a thing for each other," Kimber commented on Donovan and Alex, "but really, D? Getting your brother to get into her pants for you? That's low!"

For once a pink tinge stained Donovan's cheeks, and he glared at Kimber. "How about we try pantsing her now?" he asked, reaching forward and grabbing Alex's arms before she could jump out of the way.

She squealed in protest as Ben stood. "I'll so help on this one," he grinned. Alex shook her head, hoping he'd reconsider but he was grinning horribly and his hand was already inching for her knee. She shrieked in laughter as he started to tickle her. "Alex!" she gasped out. "Please help?"

"Hey, I promised I wouldn't join in on the fun, but I'm not gonna help!"

"You so owe me!" she tried getting out between giggles.

Sabre turned to Jasmine and Krista who were laughing. "Does this happen often?"

Jasmine nodded. "Yeah. Alex loves it."

"I do not!" she told them, struggling.

"She's so tiny, it's so easy to torment her," Krista added.

"Well, I guess she needs a protector," Malfoy said, standing up and reaching in, somehow extracting the heavy-breathing Alex from the fray.

As he lifted her to his chest, she breathed in his essence and rested her head on his chest. "Thanks love," she whispered.

Alex and Ben caught the endearment and looked at her, as if thinking it was meant for them.

Harry and Ron looked at each other in shock. Had Malfoy just done a good deed for a girl he didn't even know?

"My idea," Alex's soft voice came from Malfoy's chest as she caught her breathe. "Was to play some type of Karaoke game," she finished.

"That sounds like fun!" Krista seconded, and Ginny nodded. Hermione looked skeptical for a moment but at the eager grins on Ron and Harry's faces she decided she'd do it as well. "I have my laptop here. We can D/L any song of the internet if we want to," she told them all.

"Sounds good then?" the male Alex asked. "You guys can all go change or set up your rooms and whatnot. Be back down here in ten minutes to go get some drinks, k?"

Krista grinned devilishly over at Manndee and Jasmine. "Does that include alcoholic drinks?" she asked him.

Alex firmly shook his head now, at which she snapped her fingers. "Dangit."

Sabre rolled her eyes at them all and walked toward the stairs in the back leading the other deck of the bus.

"There are two rooms," Alex called to all their retreating forms. "One is for the boys, and the other is for the girls," he informed them before walking up to the driver and instructing him where to go.

Ginny entered the room. "This is gorgeous! How do they get these things on busses?" she asked rhetorically.

Kimber obviously didn't seem to get that. "Magic, dear, magic."

Krista grinned over at her little sister. "She's not stupid. She did know that."

Kimber raised her eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

Hermione giggled, and they turned to her. "I think you guys are funny. Ginny's the closest thing I've got to a sister," she told them.

Krista put an arm around Kimber's shoulders and pulled her close. "This is on our good days. On some nights she'll almost break my door down for the phone."

"That's nothing compared to us," Jasmine interjected.

"Yeah," Alex seconded. "We used to get in fights about who was more perfect!"

Manndee grinned. "I *hate* Becky!"

"How could you?" Alex asked. "She's such a sweetie!"

"Just live with her!"

"I know this is going to sound a bit weird, especially since we just met," Ginny started, looking around the room at the 9 girls. "But I feel like something in me just shifted and this feels really right! Almost like it's happened before."

Jasmine nodded. "I know!"

"I feel like we've known each other forever," Ginny said and Chalice nodded.

"Maybe we knew each other in past lives or something?" Krista interjected.

No one knew how true sentence really was.

"Ok guys, tell me the drinks you want, and I'll write them down. I'll be back in like five minutes with them, alright?" Alex told them all.

Alex and Sabre both yelled out two sodas at the same time. "Wild Cherry Pepsi and Root Beer!" They looked at each other and grinned.

"Have you ever tried mixing them together?" Alex asked her.

"Yeah. It's the best thing since peanut butter," Sabre agreed, her dry voice seeming somewhat soft as it drawled out the words.

Alex laughed. "You like peanut butter too? Ohmygawd! We're like sisters!!" Sabre laughed and Alex shook her head. "It's so much more fun to say to a guy." she trailed off.

Craig looked over at the two girls as they laughed. They were like opposites, really. One so dark and mysterious and the other playful and exciting. Both a bit shy, but most girls were at that age. Well, except Kimber. He grinned and shook his head. That girl was a riot.

Alex left and went to go get sodas while Krista loaded up her laptop. "This is going to be so much fun guys!"
