Later that night
"Girls we have something else to tell you." Jax said as the waiter took their plates.
"What?"
"This summer, we're moving home." Jax said
"What do you mean?" Michaela asked
"Well, we're moving back to Port Charles." Courtney said
"No, we can't Mom, Micah and I are going to be seniors next year. We've been in school in Pasadena almost all of our lives." Jasmine replied
"Yeah, except for that year we lived in Australia with Lady Jane." Michaela added, she looked at Jax, "Please Daddy don't make us move."
"I'm sorry girls, but our foundation needs your father and I back in Port Charles." Courtney said
"But you've always been able to handle the business from Pasadena." Michaela replied
"I know, but we can't do that anymore, people have been tapping into our phone lines, and they've found out information that doesn't need to be out about these kids." Jax said
"Well then get someone else to do it." Jasmine replied
"We can't Jazz, this is our foundation, we can't just give it up." Courtney replied
"Well then you two move out there. Jazzy and I can stay here by ourselves, we're big girls, I'll be 18 by then, and she'll be turning 18 in November." Michaela said
"No, that's crazy we're not leaving you two out here all the way across the country." Jax said
"Well, have someone come stay with us, just don't make us move." Jasmine replied
"I'm sorry, you are going with us." Jax said
"But-"Michaela started
"End of conversation." Courtney replied
A few weeks later
"Where are you guys headed?" Michaela asked her best guy friend, Josh, when she saw him and his cousin in the airport.
"Ryder and I are headed to Miami Beach." Josh replied
"You're lying."
"No I'm not. My parents and his parents surprised us last night, I was going to call you, but it was kind of late." Josh replied
"That's so cool." Michaela said
"What's so cool?" Ryder and Jasmine asked at the same time.
"We're all going to Miami." Josh replied
"Really?" Jasmine asked, Jasmine had a major crush on Josh, and had for quite sometime, but never really made a move because he was Michaela's bestfriend, although Michaela pushed the thought of them getting together.
"Yep."
"What hotel are you guys staying at?" Michaela asked
"The Dunes Motel."
"For real?" Michaela asked, "We are too."
"That's awesome."
A few hours later
"I'm so glad we're here." Jasmine said plopping down on her bed.
"I know me too, I'm so tired, I can't believe we had to have 2 layovers, and one of our planes were late." Michaela replied
"Hey Jasmine, Michaela, we're going down to the beach wanna join us?" Ryder asked as he came to the open door.
"I will, I just have to change into my swimsuit." Michaela replied
"I'm going to take a nap." Jasmine said
"Party pooper." Michaela said
"Well, I'm tired, and I'll be cranky all week if I don't sleep."
"Okay, whatever you say Princess." Michaela joked
"Okay Josh and I will meet you down by the office in 5 minutes." Ryder said
"Sounds cool."
Ryder left and Michaela shut the door, "He's so hot." She said with a smile, "Don't you think he's hot?"
"Whatever you say Micah." Jasmine said obviously trying to sleep.
"Come on Jazzy, just go with us, I'll feel dumb if I go down there with the two boys." Michaela said
"Just go Micah, let me sleep, or Cranky Jasmine will kick yo butt." Jasmine replied
"Okay fine, fine."
The three went to the beach where they were having a big concert bash, and they danced until the sun went down. Michaela took out her cell phone, and called Jasmine.
"Hello?"
"Hey Jazzy, you want to meet us at the café down the street from the motel?" she asked
"Sure."
"Okay, we'll see you in a few minutes, we're just now leaving the beach." Michaela replied
"Okay, talk to ya later."
A few minutes later
"Hey Sleeping Beauty, did you have a nice nap?" Josh asked her
"Yes, I did thank you very much."
"You better sleep tonight because I'm not staying up and talking to you." Michaela replied
"You got it, I'm ready to go back to bed now." Jasmine replied
"Are you sure you're sisters?" Ryder asked, "Because my sisters don't get along this well."
"Yeah, we're step-sisters really, we have the same parents, but not biologically, it's kind of complicated." Michaela replied
"It's extremely complicated." Josh added
"Well, I have all week." Ryder said
"Okay, well our parents married when I was 4 months old, my dad that signed my birth certificate is the one married to my mom, and then my biological dad is my mom's ex-husband." Michaela explained
"And then my dad is the one married to her mom, who I also call Mom, because she adopted me when my biological mom gave custody of me to my dad and her." Jasmine added
"That is kind of confusing." Ryder said
"And now, Michaela and Jasmine are going to be moving back to where they were born, back in New York." Josh added
"Really?" Ryder asked as he looked at Michaela, "That sucks."
"Yeah."
"So Ryder where are you from?" Jasmine asked as she nudged her sister.
"I'm from Bakersfield."
"And you're Josh's first cousin?"
"Yeah, our mom's are sisters." Ryder replied
"That's cool."
Later that week
"Jazzy, can I tell you something and you won't get mad?" Josh asked
"Sure, shoot."
"Well, I really like you, and I have for a long time, not as long as I've been friends with your sister, but it's been at least two years." Josh replied
"Oh my god, why didn't you tell me before this Josh?"
"I don't know, I was scared that you wouldn't like me back?"
"Of course I like you, I have for a long time too." Jasmine replied
"So, you want to go out tonight?" Josh asked, "I was wanting to give Micah and Ryder some time alone since they hooked up last night."
"Okay sounds cool, what are we going to do?"
"Well, I have a few things in mind." Josh replied
That night
"This place is unbelievable Josh, how did you find it?" Jasmine asked
"Well the other night when Ryder and I got into a fight and Ryder came into you guys' room. Well I came down here walking on the beach, it's called and infinity pool." Josh replied as they walked across the pool above the water on a piece of glass, out to a table.
"It's beautiful."
"As are you."
Jasmine couldn't help but smile, and was speechless.
A few months later
"Well, this is it, we're leaving in the morning for New York." Michaela said to Josh over the phone.
"I know, I still can't believe that Ryder is applying to colleges out there to be close to you." Josh replied
"What you don't think I'm worth it?"
"Oh you're worth it, you've put up with me all these years haven't you."
"Yeah."
"Actually I'm kind of jealous that I can't be out there near you and Jazz." Josh replied
"Yeah I know, I'm really going to miss my bestfriend." Michaela said
"I'm going to miss you too Micah, I'm going to miss Jazzy too."
"You already miss her because you know that you can't have her." Michaela said
"I know, instead of her being with me and saying her tearful good-byes to me, she's saying it to Landon Williams." Josh said
"Yeah too bad, you were good to her Josh, and she did you so wrong." Michaela replied
"Yeah, and for some reason, I can't stop thinking about her, I mean, we only went out for a month, but I felt something between us, and I know she felt it too." Josh explained, "I mean, it's not very often you hear stuff like this coming from a jock's mouth, but I'm saying it."
"I know, I saw that connection, and it hurt Jazzy when you guys broke up, but I guess not enough."
The next morning at the airport
"Bye Micah." Josh said as he hugged his best friend.
"Bye Josh, I'm going to miss you." Michaela replied, then turned to her other two friends, Noah and Kelly, "I'm going to miss you guys too."
"We're going to miss you too Micah." Kelly replied as the two began to cry.
Josh looked over at Jazzy, who was sitting alone, none of her friends came to see her off, and Landon was probably sleeping, he walked over to her, "Hey Jazzy."
"Hey."
"You know, as a friend, I hope you don't mind me saying I'm really going to miss you." Josh said
"Yeah, I'm going to miss you too Josh."
"So where's Landon?"
"Oh he said he couldn't bear saying good-bye to me again." Jasmine replied
"And none of your friends came down here?"
"Nope."
"Oh." Josh replied
"Micah, Jazzy, let's go, the jet's ready." Jax told his daughters.
"Well I guess I'll see you when you come out to visit in Pasadena with your sister." Josh said to Jazzy.
"I don't know if I'll be coming with her, but if I do, I guess I'll see ya." Jazzy replied throwing her backpack over her shoulders, and picking up her ballerina bear, he hugged her one last time.
"Bye you guys." Micah said to the three of them one last time, with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I'm really going to miss having another girl around in our group." Kelly told her
"Oh you'll manage, at least until you can find someone to replace me." Micah replied
"Micah, don't say that, we could never replace you." Noah said
"Well, it shouldn't be hard." Michaela replied, "Just remember, I'll be out here next summer, and I'm not leaving."
"Okay."
With that Courtney, Jax, Michaela, and Jasmine boarded their private jet. Next stop, Port Charles, New York.
"Girls we have something else to tell you." Jax said as the waiter took their plates.
"What?"
"This summer, we're moving home." Jax said
"What do you mean?" Michaela asked
"Well, we're moving back to Port Charles." Courtney said
