Takes place a year after "Holiday" So Manny didn't get Pregnant in this.

The Invitation and Life story

Manny and Jt played in the water he would tackle her occasionally and she would splash water on him they played like little kids or.....Love birds in Emma and Craig's eyes. Craig placed his guitar down and walked over to Emma who as well as Craig didn't like the friendliness of their playfulness.

"So what's up why aren't you playing with Manny and Jt" Craig asked taking a seat on Manny's towel

"I don't like to play third wheel" Emma said looking over at them

"Then why didn't you bring Chris along" Craig asked

Emma sighed everywhere she went she was asked the same question over and over again.

"He dumped me two weeks ago Craig he said he wanted to give His and Melinda's relationship one more shot they had been through a lot together and even though sometimes she could get on his nerves he loved her and he left me out in the pouring rain" Emma replied now finding an odd interest in her finger nails

"Oh listen I'm sorry for what it's worth I never thought he was the one for you but about the whole third wheel thing you play third wheel when two people are dating unless Jt and Manny are........." Craig started jumping to conclusions

"Calm down Craig they aren't dating Manny isn't interested but I always feel that way since he's still hung up on her and she likes to flirt with him" Emma said noting the sudden flash of relief across Craig's face

"Not that I like her or anything I'm just you know concerned dating someone who's been your best friend as long as Manny and Jt have been best friend could mess things up in the friendship just dating a friend period could mess things up that's why I'm not going after Manny" Craig said which Emma only caught the part about dating a long term friend messing up a relationship causing her to think not knowing Craig was only referring to his situation of denying he had feelings for Manny

Finally Manny and Jt arose from the water Manny with her hair down to her back soaking wet and her bikini top sticking to her and Jt's Trunks sticking to him. They both walked over to Emma and Craig who had their eyes set on their "Friends" Craig on Manny and Emma on Jt.

"Em you really should have came into the water it was great me and Manny missed you" Jt said sitting back down in his spot

"Um...Craig can you slide over just a bit" Manny asked trying to avoid eye- contact

Craig slid over and Watched Manny sit down on her towel now noticing her belly button piercing.

"Hey that's cool" He said touching it lightly as Manny smiled brightly at the feel of Craig's touch

"Yeah thanks I just got it done not to long ago" Manny said while looking through her bag for something

"What are you looking for Manny" Paige and Hazel said walking over with Spinner, Jimmy and Marco following

"A brochure of all the major sites in here it is" Manny said pulling out her brochure for Cancun

"Planning on taking a trip Hun" Paige said taking the brochure and sitting down along with the others

"Yeah she invited me and Jt" Emma chimed in though she didn't like Paige much they had learned to be Civil to one another

"Um...You can come Craig" Manny offered

"Oh just Craig huh" Spinner said with a questioning said in his voice

"No not just Craig all of you can come" Manny said embarrassed and annoyed Spinner had put her on the spot like that

"Great I'm game" Jimmy and Hazel said in unison

"I guess I am too" Marco said

"Me and Spin are too" Paige said

"That only leaves you Craig man" Marco said with everyone attention now on him

"I guess I'll ask Joey" Craig said trying to sound calmer than he really was

"Cool this is going to be the best summer ever" Spinner said excitedly

"Wait where are we going to stay" Hazel asked concerned about renting a room around this time

"Hazel it's the first day of summer the rooms couldn't possibly all rented out" Paige said

"They are people call ahead of time and rent rooms out" Manny said

"So where are going to stay" Spinner asked low-spirited now

"My parents beach house I've only been down their once when I was little but trust me it's huge" Manny said lifting everyone's spirits except for Emma and Jt who already knew

"Wait there's no parent's involve is there" Paige asked

"No just my brother's older friend he's like twenty-two he's a family friend he basically is family he's really cool he won't give anyone any grief about loud music or parties or anything he's just their to make sure the house is still standing after you guys leave" Manny informed them

"You mean after *we* leave" Emma asked curious as to what she meant after they leave

"Yeah of course I mean after we leave" Manny said sounding as though she was partially telling the truth

"So what do we need besides spending money" Paige asked

"Well all you need are passports, clothes and beach supplies even though we have a pool the beach is right across from us so you guys probably want to go to the main beach where all the people are" Manny told them

"Okay wait you mean you guys have a pool and the main beach is across from you remind again why you live here" Marco asked jokily with Spinner and Jimmy agreeing with him

"Well after we left Manila the first place we came was Cancun being as though My grandparents lived there and shortly after they died they left us this huge place but after my dad fixed it up he got a job here in Toronto so we came here" Manny answered remembering her first year there

"Oh" Hazel said

"So your parents would be furious if we had any parties" Spinner added in not thinking about the fact that her grandparents had left them that beach house

"Spin" Paige yelled

"No Paige it's cool they didn't really leave it for my parents they left it for me and another for my brother and one for my parents but I always thought of it as theirs but they said it's my responsibility if I invite friends" Manny said

"So were your grandparents like rich or something" Jimmy asked

"Yeah they own all the major beaches down there"

"You're kidding" Jt said not knowing that himself

"No but my parents wanted to be independent and earn things themselves so that's why we don't really do the whole rich thing even though we have tons of money if we need it.... And I really don't know how I got into telling you guys my life story" Manny said shaking her head

"Me either but one thing I know I'm never saying my treat with you" Jt said joking

"Oh yeah" Manny said pulling a water gun out of her bag and squirting him with it soon having everyone pulling water guns out and squirting each other.
