Disclaimer: Nothing's mine except a few characters… hehe Matt and Spence is all I need if you know what I mean ^_~



Hello! ^_^ I've decided to give into some of my fans and write another story. Some of you might have read my other story "College Life". If not you should, or you might not understand where some of these characters come from. Let's see… am I missing anything? Um… well, I love Stephen King. He's my favorite male author. So I've decided to write a horror story. Though I can't call this horror yet cause nothing really happens in this chapter. But enough chitchat, read on if you desire to.

Chapter 1 Vacation?





~*Narrator*~



The beginning of a new day. Burning bright, the sun made its way along up into the sky. Its rays moved into the large windows of a certain apartment, obviously in use by girls. The living room was occupied with black leather furniture, a couch, two armchairs, and a loveseat. A large-screen TV sat on a black shelf and in the center of the room was a black coffee table positioned on a light-beige carpet. The rays moved on, up and over the cheaply painted walls down a hall, which held many doors. The first room was a bedroom, where one of our characters, Sakura Kinomoto, slept. Sneaking in silently, the rays moved across the carpeted floor towards the bed. Up over the pink comforter towards the head posts, we see a head. And oh my a stuffed animal. Ok, maybe it's not a stuffed animal because it just opened its eyes. Oh, Kero. Forgot…



~*Kero*~



Ugh, stupid sun and it's stupid rays. What time is it?

Our little friend Keroberos flutters up off the bed and looks at the alarm clock.

Half past six. Early. No wonder Sakura's not awake. That girl… well, at least she's happy now since she's with that little brat. How annoying though. I have to seriously be nice to him now. And his roommates. What's with them anyway? Boys… ~Yeah, I love 'em…~

There was a knock at the door. Kero looked at Sakura, who didn't budge. He sighed.

"Come in," I say. It's probably Tomoyo anyway.

Tomoyo walked in, giggling happily.

I knew it. How's it possible to be so cheery this early in the morning? Only Tomoyo could pull it off.

"Kero! Guess what!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Do I get multiple choice?" I joke. I'm not in the mood for guessing games. ~Kero is not a morning… thing.~

"Nope! Fine, I'll just tell you. You know how it's the first day of summer vacation today, right?"

"Yes, Tomoyo," I answer dryly. Oh, the suspense is killing me…

"Well, Eriol invited us all to his mansion on an island off the coast of California!" ~Let's just pretend he has one. Hey, it's my ff!~

Hey, something interesting after all. "Wow, who's all going?"

"Um… me, Sakura, Meiling, Li, Spence, Matt, you of course, and Layla if she can make it." ~Yes! Me!~

Layla? That crazy chick? ~Hey, I'm not crazy!~ Oh no… "Yeah, that sounds great."

"I hope they all want to come. It'll be so cool! When's Sakura going to wake up?"

I shrugged. Knowing her… not for another couple of hours. "Don't know. But while you're waiting you could be doing something productive. Like making me breakfast." ~That sounds like Kero.~

Tomoyo grinned and shook her head. "Yeah, yeah." She saluted me and left. That girl is such a kidder. At least she has better taste. Eriol is a lot better than that Chinese brat. ~Hmm… I disagree.~ Speaking of that Chinese brat, wonder if his insane cousin is awake.

Kero flew out of Sakura's room and into the hall, going towards the kitchen.

"Morning, Tomoyo," I hear from the kitchen. Then that giggling again. Oh boy…

"Meiling, guess what!"

I go into the kitchen to find Tomoyo telling everything she told me to Meiling. That incessant giggling again. Now there are two giggle bunnies. Ugh, wait till Sakura finds out. Maybe I should spend more nights at the guys' apartment.

"Can you two giggle and make breakfast at the same time?"

Meiling smiled. "Morning, Kero! We're going on a vacation!"

I put a fake smile on my face. "Yay…" Alone with all of them? Ah, I don't know if I can handle that. As long as there's pudding.





~*Syaoran*~



"Ok, Tomoyo. Ok, Tomoyo. Ok, ok! I got it. Bye…" I hung up the phone and sighed, exasperated. Not even seven and I'm being called.

"Who was that?"

I look to find Spence staring at me. After a year, you get used to him. He's not so bad. I wish he wouldn't look up to me so much as if I were some kind of god though.

"Just Tomoyo telling me we're all invited to go to one of Hiiragaziwa's mansions off the coast of California tomorrow," I reply casually.

I watch as Spence's whole face lights up.

"Really? Wow, cool! This is going to be awesome! I haven't seen Eriol since he came to visit in the fall. Who's all going?"

I counted off on my fingers. "Me, you, Sakura, Tomoyo, Meiling, Matt, that stupid stuffed toy, and possibly Layla." ~Me!~

Spence grinned. "Layla's going????"

Syaoran sweat-dropped.

Not surprising he's excited from what had happened last fall ~Hehehe…~. Layla and Spence together again… that'll be interesting. If she gets out here. I admit I miss her though.

"Layla's coming. Great, this will be the best! We've been writing back and forth. I really like her, you know?"

He likes Layla? My best friend Layla? Are we talking about the same Layla? "Well, uh… that's… nice, Spence."

"Yeah. I'm going to go wake up Matt and tell him!"

"Ok, you do that." Matt should be excited, I think. Though, it's kind of early.

Syaoran listened and moments later heard yelling.

"Oh, bloody hell! Spence, get out! Out!" ~Matt's not a morning person, trust me.~

I walk out of my room just in time to see Spence running out of Matt's room, being followed by a fast pillow. I wonder how a guy like Matt met a guy like Hiiragaziwa in England and became friends. Good thing I met Matt, or else I'd think all English guys are crazy like Hiiragaziwa. Spence grinned at me.

"I think he's excited."

Sweat gathered at the back of Syaoran's head.

"Yeah, I'm sure, Spence."





~*Sakura*~



Wow, an island off the coast of California! Sounds fun!

"Quality time alone with the guys… what do you think, Sakura?"

"That'll be great," I reply. Though with Eriol and Tomoyo back together they'll still be scheming against Syaoran and me. Ever since the fall of last year I've been just as paranoid as Syaoran about those two.

"But Layla's going. Ugh, stupid bitch," Meiling muttered. ~We don't get along.~

Sakura and Tomoyo sweat-dropped.

They really don't get along for some reason. Layla's pretty cool to me once you get to know her. She accepted me. Furthermore she accepted Syaoran and me. I'm glad we're ok with each other. She is Syaoran's best friend after all. Besides, I think there's something going on between Spence and Layla.

"If it's tomorrow do you think we should start packing now?" I ask my best friend and nowadays close friend. ~Yeah, nowadays…~

"Nope!"

"No?" I ask, puzzled.

"I say we go and buy a whole new wardrobe. Right, Meiling?"

"Right!"

I'm not the rich kid or in a clan. Hello! "Um, I don't have as much money as you guys."

"Don't worry, Sakura! I'll make clothes for you. And if I see something cute at the mall I'll buy it for you. You don't have to pay me back. What are best friends for?"

I sighed. I was hoping I'd get out of this but obviously not. I laughed to cover it up. "Yeah… best friends."

"We should get started on shopping then!" Meiling squealed.

"What about my breakfast?" Kero grumbled.

Kero. Gee, his appetite is about as big as mine. ~No one can compare to Yukito though. ^_^ ~

"Oh, yes. I forgot. I'm making it as promised, Kero."

Tomoyo saluted him again.

What was that all about? Well, I should be used to living with these two since I have been for almost a year. And Kero even longer. I should help make breakfast. I'm hungry anyway. I wonder what Syaoran and them are doing…





~*Matt*~



Can't a guy sleep around here? Spence will never change…

Matt walked out in boxers ~*Whistles*~ to find Syaoran in the kitchen with Spence peeking over his shoulder as he cooked.

"Spence, if you're going to be in here you could at least help me cook breakfast."

"I don't know how to cook," Spence whined. ~Oh boy is he not lying!~

"Yes, and I don't want to die from food poisoning," I add. That'll be the day I eat Spence's cooking.

Matt cringed as Spence grinned at him.

"Yay, Matt is awake!"

I take a hesitant step back as Spence comes and slaps me on the shoulder.

"What's up, Mate?"

I scowled at him. "I've been better. What were you saying earlier in my room before I kicked you out?"

"That Eriol invited us to go on a vacation with him."

"Oh. Swell. Who's 'us'?"

"The whole gang. Us, the girls, Eriol, Kero too, and last but definitely not least…"

"Layla," Syaoran finished for him.

I chuckled. "Oh, your little pen pal?"

Spence winked at me. "Oh, we're more than pen pals. Trust me."

I looked at Syaoran. I shivered as so did he. "So what's for breakfast today, Li?"

"Pancakes!" Spence cried hopefully.

"Yeah, also bacon and eggs." ~Yuck!~

"Sounds good. I'll be in the shower."

"Yeah, who knows what you and Meiling were doing last night?" ~Spence lives in the gutter I swear…~

I stuck my tongue out at him. "More than writing love letters to each other."

I laughed as Spence fumed.

Matt turned and left, leaving Syaoran alone with Spence, who went back to peeking over his shoulder.





~*Meiling*~



Damn Layla! Why did Eriol have to invite her? Well, I won't let this ruin my shopping. Oh, this green bikini is cute. Thong cut, no straps… a little revealing, but oh well. ~I got one just like that! Um… well there's my useless info of the chapter… catch the next one in chapter II! ~

"Hey Sakura, look at this."

I laughed at the expression on her face. "Isn't that a little… revealing, Meiling?"

"No! I think it's cute. Don't you, Tomoyo?"

I hope she agrees. Sakura is always covering up and her body is almost half as good looking as mine. ~Can we say conceited?~

Tomoyo inspected it. "Yes, I like it. You should get it, Sakura."

"But…"

"No buts! I'm buying it for you."

Sakura hung her head. "Tomoyo…"

Aw, no wonder Xiao Lang likes her so much. She can be so funny sometimes. Wow, it's been a year and it's like we're almost best friends, even though I hated her for my own silly reasons before. And she has grown up. She's not unfortunate of looks I suppose, but she's more mature and caring. And I know she'll treat Li right. Which is okay, because I have Matt. ~Only because I let you have him!~

"Meiling, come on! I need to go buy a new battery for my video camera. A few actually. I want to catch every moment!"

"Yes, Tomoyo," I replied, shaking my head. Her and that camera. Just as long as she doesn't catch me on it. She'll be too focused on Sakura and Li anyway.

"Lunch anyone?" Sakura asked.

Good point. I'm famished. "Definitely! Afterwards we can go pay a visit to the guys."

"Well, you two can. Eriol said he would call me so I'm going to stay home."

Aw, and wait by the phone like a good little girlfriend. How quixotic. NOT! "Aw, tell him I said hi."

"Ok, Meiling."

"Ok, guys, enough talk, I'm hungry!"

Meiling and Tomoyo sweat dropped.

Sakura and her stomach I swear…





~*Narrator*~



Well, while the girls were out doing their thing, the guys were out doing their own thing. Syaoran was finer than ever in a pair of beige cargo pants over a brown wife beater and dark Tim's on his feet. Sexy Spence wore a white wife beater under a plaid, baby blue over shirt which made his eyes set out, over dark blue, baggy jeans and white sneakers. And Matty poo decided to be the oddball and wear black cargo shorts with black sandals with a shirt that had Elmo over a lower part of his anatomy with the words "Tickle my Elmo" under it.

"Dude, I can't believe you wore that. Meiling is going to kill you."

Matt pouted at me as Syaoran chuckled. "What do you mean by that?"

A group of girls just happened to walk past them, your typical sluty blondes. ~No offense to blondes! Or sluts!~

"Oh, I'll tickle his Elmo any day," one said loud enough for the guys to hear.

Matt blushed. Spence rolled his eyes, and Syaoran started to laugh his ass off.

"See, Dummy. Stuff like that."

Matt huffed. "Hey, not my fault I'm gorgeous." ~Amen…~

Syaoran, whom was bent over laughing, stood up straight and gave Matt a look.

"Let's not get carried away now, guys."

I scratched my head. "What are we doing here again?"

Syaoran and Matt sweat-dropped.

"Oh frizzle! Spence, we're here to get presents for the girls. Bloody idiot…"

I glared at Matt. "I'm not an idiot. Shut up, British Bastard."

Matt glared back at him. "Maybe if you weren't so stupid I wouldn't call you an idiot, American Asshole." ~Forever arguing those two…~

"Stop it right now, you two," Syaoran commanded frostily.

Ah, don't yell at me!

The two looked at him. Spence pointed at Matt.

"He started it!"

Syaoran hung his head and sighed.

I can't take these two anywhere.



~*Tomoyo*~



Ugh, Sakura get off the phone with Syaoran! Eriol might be trying to call me.

"I love you too. Bye. Hang up first," Sakura giggled. "No, you hang up first."

A vein pulsed on Tomoyo's forehead as her patience went out.

"No, you hang up. Baby, you hang up first."

I can't take this anymore!

Tomoyo walked over and grabbed the cordless from Sakura.

"I got an idea! I'll hang up!"

Ah, that felt good. Oh, I think Sakura is upset.

"Tomoyo!"

Eh, I can play this off.

"Oh, sorry. I thought you were talking to me."

Good, she looks better.

"Oh, it's ok, Tomoyo. I'll just call Syaoran back."

Sakura took the phone from her and dialed Syaoran's number. Tomoyo's left eye started to twitch.

What the hell? This is impossible. Oh, well. I wonder what Meiling is doing.

Tomoyo walked out into the living room to find Meiling watching TV.

Meiling? TV? Since when? "Hey, what are you watching?"

"Oh, tapes from back in the day. The card-capturing days. I miss those days."

Yeah, those were the days when she wasn't so nice. "I'll watch with you until Sakura gets off the phone."

Tomoyo sat down beside Meiling.

Ew, we need new couches. These are tacky and aren't good for sex. ~Hmm, Tomoyo is a freak.~

Sakura walks out with the phone. "Hey, Eriol just clicked in."

Yay!

"But I'm talking to Syaoran still so I told him to call me back."

Tomoyo fell off the couch anime style.

This cannot be happening. I can't wait for this vacation. ~Yes you can *grins evilly*~





~*Spence*~



I can't wait till tomorrow, I can't wait till tomorrow, I can't wait till tomorrow…

"Spence, what are you jumping around for?"

Duh! Layla! ~I feel special.~

"I might see Layla tomorrow! In fact I'm going to sleep so tomorrow will come faster."

"It's only eleven. You usually don't sleep till about two or three."

How would he know? That loser usually goes to sleep around midnight.

"And how would you know, Matt?"

"I can hear you talk to yourself in the mirror, Dummy."

What??? No one's supposed to know about that! Ah, what is Li going to say?

"What is this?" Syaoran asked with a bemused smirk on his face.

"Ha, Matt, you're so funny."

I wonder what all he hears…

"Oh, I'm quite sure. 'Spence you are so hot. Oh, I want to spank you. And…'"

Spence had jumped on Matt and started strangling him.

Ah how dare he! "You shut up! What are you doing listening to me at night?"

What's he laughing about?

"It's a good laugh for me before I go to bed," Matt gasped between giggles.

You little English muffin!

"You two, calm down."

Spence pouted and let Matt go, who had big red welts on his neck from Spence's fingers.

Fine. I'll just get him in his sleep tonight. Li seems in a good mood. Probably because he just got off the phone with Sakura. I'll admit she's hot and has a nice personality but Layla is better. Ew Matt, close your mouth. ~Well, just his opinion people don't look at me!~

"We should all go to sleep," Matt says between a yawn. "What are you looking at me like that for?" he asked, glaring at Spence.

Wonder what Meiling sees in him. I don't see it. "Thinking on how I'm going to torture you in your sleep tonight."

Syaoran shook his head. "You two need to grow up."

Ex-squeeze me, Father Time. Not our fault we're not one hundred years more mature than we're supposed to be. But I still look up to him.

Matt sneered at Spence. "No use trying to reason with Spence, Li. Once you're past Spence's good looks… you're past Spence." ~That's true in some ways…~

Oh, really? "You think I'm good looking, Matt?"

Matt stood up. "Don't even go there. I'm going to bed."

Oh, I love you too, Buddy. "Me too! Night, guys."

Syaoran eyed them. "You two better behave on this trip."

Me? Not behave? Ok… good point… "Hey, I'm an angel," I reply, smiling innocently.

"Angel my ass. Your halo is crooked from your horns," Matt accused.

"Ah, blow me."

"Got to grow a dick first."

Grrrr. Oh, he's dead!

Matt sensed danger and ran to his room before Spence could kill him.

"Ugh, that jerk!"

"You're not all that nice to him either, Spence."

"Whatever. I'm going to sleep."

"Uh huh. Night then."

The two separated and went into their rooms. Spence stripped down to his boxers and fell onto his bed.

Vacation tomorrow. This is going to be awesome… wait… how long are we staying??? ~*sweat drops*~
