~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Author's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The sun rose gently over the horizon, gently kissing the ground and all that lied in its path.  One small golden ray of light traveled ever so slowly up and up, climbing higher and higher until it came upon a window where it ever so slowly crept inside.  Inching forward, it reached out and gently caressed the man lying in the bed.  Delicately brushing the tips of his feet, the golden ray slowly grazed his legs, climbing higher and higher.  It was soon at his chest where it seemed to follow his deep even rhythmic patterns.  Crawling on, it softly caressed his chin, then kissing his lips; it soon reached his eyes, bidding the man to wake up.  Ever so slowly, the man answered the call and opened his beautiful azure blue eyes.  Right now, everything was calm and at peace, nothing could destroy the moment.

"OH CRAP!!! I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET UP AN HOUR AGO!!!!"

Well, almost anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Darien's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"WHY DIDN'T ANYONE WAKE ME UP?!?!?" I screamed angrily as I ran around my room, trying to find something to where for the day.  Quickly grabbing some clothes, I ran out into the kitchen, trying to dress myself on the way, but I only managed on getting tangled up in my jeans, resulting in me crashing face forward to the ground.

"Well, we were going to, but we didn't want another incident happening," Kunzite replied smugly, smiling one of those goofy smiles of his.

"Now we're going to be late!" I cried picking myself up.  Putting some bread in the toaster, I quickly finished dressing myself.  This time, I didn't trip.

"No we aren't Dare, so just chill for a sec, okay?" Jedite reassured.  Glaring at him evilly, he slowly backed away.  Apparently he still hadn't forgotten my wrath from the day before.

"Oh man, now Sarah will never forgive me" I worried, pacing back and forward. 

"Dare, just calm down for a second!" Nephrite shouted.  Grabbing me by the shoulders, he glared at me straight in my eye.

"CALM DOWN?!?!?  WHY SHOULD I CALM DOWN?!?!? I'VE NEVER BEEN LATE FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE!!!!!" I screamed.

"Well, that's not exactly true…." Jedite stated.  "There was that one time with the rose bush and the pair of boxers…."

"Jedite shut up!" I screamed.  Why was I reacting this way?

"Make me"

"Zoisite, tell Jedite to shut up!"

"Toast is burning," Zoisite remarked nonchalantly, turning the page of the newspaper.

"What?" Jedite replied confused.  "That has nothing to do with what we're talking about"

"Toast is burning" Zoisite repeated.

"The toast is burning?" I repeated confused.  Then it dawned on me. "THE TOAST IS BURNING!!!!!"  Running as fast I could over to the toaster, I saw the ashy black smoke rising swiftly upward from it.

"Oh shit!" I screamed as I fidgeted the lever on the toaster, trying to get it to let go of my toast.  "WHY WON'T THE STUPID THING LET GO?!?!?!?!?!?!?" I cried in frustration.  By now, the toaster was giving off more ashy black smoke.  If you were to look above their heads, you would see a huge black cloud, but of course, no one did see it, for they were all now concerned about how to get the toast out of the toaster.

"Dare, calm down" Kunzite soothed, placing a hand on my shoulder.  "If you want to get the toast out….." he proceeded to pick the toaster up.  Big mistake.

"YOUCH!" he screamed in agony as he dropped the toaster to the floor, causing little blue sparks to jump from it.

"Quick, throw some water on it!" Nephrite cried.  Jedite listening, quickly ran over to the sink and got a bucked of water.

"No you idiot!  Water and electricity don't mix!" Zoisite exclaimed, setting down the newspaper.  "Just unplug it already!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

*sweat drop*

Since I was closest to the outlet, I reached over and unplugged it, big mistake yet again.

KKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Screamed the toaster as it proceeded to throw a huge amount of sparks in every direction, putting on a very interesting display of fireworks.  Covering my eyes, I backed away from the display.  A few seconds later, the light had died down and the heat was no longer as great.  There on the floor, what once used to be our toaster oven was now a huge pile of black metal.

"Oh my gosh" Zoisite breathed as he slowly made his way to his chair and sat down, rubbing his temples ever so carefully.

"This couldn't get any worse"

CLINK

"What was that?" I asked.

SSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH!!!!!

'Crap;' the sprinkler system just turned on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Serena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"OMG! Amy you are a complete, one hundred percent genius!" I exclaimed.  Clutching my stomach, I fell to the floor in laughter.

"How did you ever think of rigging the toaster?" Lita asked, giggling all the while.

"I don't know, I guess it just came to me" she replied, laughing equally as hard.

"Did you see their faces?" I asked.  This was just too good.

"Especially Kunzite's, it was priceless!" Mina shouted.

"I can't believe Jedite actually wanted to dump water on it!" Raye bellowed.  That got all of us laughing even harder than we were.

"Are you sure you left the window open?" I asked Amy.

"Yea, we wouldn't want to have all that smoke in there"

"And the smoke alarms?"

"Disabled so that the fire trucks wouldn't come"

"Amy, I still can't believe that you were able to hack into the data base and rewire the sprinkler system!" Lita whooped, laughing even harder.

"And not to mention sneaking into their condo and hooked up the video cameras" Mina added.

"Who would have thought sweet little innocent Amy would have had it in her" Raye added.  Amy was blushing feverously by this time, causing everyone to laugh even harder than before.

"Well, what do you want to do now?" I asked between giggles.

"Why don't we go down to the beach?" Mina suggested.  "I heard that there was going to be a Laua (pronounced loo owe.  You know, like in LuLu and when you get hurt you say owe) tonight"

"Really?  I always wanted to go to one of those…" Lita stated, drifting of into la la land.  Bursting into a fit of laughter again, we caused Lita to come back to the real world.  Scowling at us, we burst into a bigger fit of laughter than before.  This time however, Lita joined in.  After a few minutes, our laughter subsided.

"Who would have thought that this would have turned out so well" I commented.

"I know what you mean" Amy agreed.

"And so far so good" Lita added.  "The guys have yet to make a move, well, except for those weird looks at times, but still"

"Yea, it's a good thing you called Sere and told them that we had to cancel this morning.

"I know, otherwise we wouldn't be having this much fun!" I grinned. 

"Now all we need to do is think of our next trick" Raye declared as she cat walked over to the couch and laid down.

"Yea, but it's going to be hard" Amy pointed out.  "I mean, we have to come up with something fresh, something new.  Also, it has to be big, but yet not too big that they get suspicious."

Amy had a good point.  If we went on in manner like such, the guys would figure us out before long.  Now the only question was what to do?

"I know!" Mina cried suddenly.

"What is it?!?!?" I demanded.

"Well…." she said as we all gathered around her on the floor now, all ears.  "Why don't we sneak into the guys rooms and decorate them like sundaes?!?!" she asked.

"MINA, THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE!" Raye outburst.

"Really, when?"

"AT THE CABIN SIX MONTHS AGO!!!!" Raye screamed.

"Ohhhh"

sweat drop

This was hopeless.  We needed to think of something good, and when I say good, I mean good.

"Why don't we set ninjas on them?" Mina reasoned.

"Mina" Lita alleged.  "Where are we going to find going to find ninjas around here?"

"Well, I don't know!  I heard that there were free ninja swords and butcher knives given out a while ago, maybe we could find some people who got them to and set them on the boys!" (Sound familiar?)

sweat drop

"No, it has to be something new, something, something….reasonable" Amy conveyed. 

"Like what?" Mina asked.  "Have the guys dress up in dresses?"

"That's it!!!" Lita cried suddenly.


"What, you want the guys to dress up in dresses?" Mina asked confused.

"No!!  Gather round gals…I have a plan."

(Now, I was going to stop there again, but that would just take all the fun out of everything!!!!!!  Also, this chapter would be way to short if I would have stopped here, so let's continue then, shall we?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Zoisite's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'What did I do to deserve this?!?!' I cried in my head.  Our entire vacation was going down the drain.  The only good part so far was meeting the girls.  Amelia seemed familiar somehow……

RING

RING

Seeing that my friends were in a state of panic as they tried to calm Darien down, I went to go answer the phone.  "Hello?"

"Hi, who may I be speaking to?" a female voice asked over the other end.

"This is Zoisite, and you are?"

"Oh, Zoisite!  This is Amelia"

"Amelia?  Oh hi, umm, why are you calling?"

"Oh, well you see, the girls and I were wondering if you wanted to go to the Luau tonight.  It's right outside on the beach.  It begins at sunset tonight.  There's going to be a huge camp fire and everything.  So would you like to come with us?"

Okay, let me think this over.  I could stay here tonight and risk another malfunction of the sprinkler system or I could get outside and actually get to spend some time with some sane people.  Hard decision. 

"If you want to talk it over with the guys to see if their okay with this…."  Turning around, I saw Kunzite and Jedite had broken out into yet another fight.  Nephrite it looked like was trying to explain to Darien that we didn't need to meet the girls.

"Umm, their a little busy right now….."

"Oh, well if you don't want to go tonight I understand…."

"NO! It's not that, it's just that, well, we'd love to go.  You said sunset right?"

"Yea, we'll meet you there!"

"Great, see you there!"

"Bye"

"Bye"

'I hope the guys won't mind' I prayed in my mind.

"JEDITE YOU DOLT!!!! NOTHING'S GOING TO GET SOLVED BY YOU RUNNING THROUGH THE HOTEL NAKED!!!!"

*sigh*

 "I need start hanging out with more sane people" I muttered to myself as I went to the bathroom to find my spare bottle of Advil.

************Sunset that night************ ~~~~~~~~Jedite's POV~~~~~~~~

"Come on guys!  We're going to be late!" Darien cried frantically.  Great, just what we need, Mr. 'I'm So Cool Look at Me' going into a nervous breakdown. 

"Jedite, hurry up already!" I heard Kunzite yell from outside my door. 

"Coming!" I shouted back.  Gee, he never gets off my case.  Now the only question I have to ask myself is….what do you exactly wear to a Luau? 

*******************fifteen minutes later**********************

Finally making it out of the condo, we made our way to the beach.  It was still warm out even though the sun had set.  There was a gentle breeze running through air, caressing our faces as we made our way towards the huge fire in the distance. 

"Oh good, there you guys are!" I heard voice shout.  Turning to my left, I saw Rachel and Laura waving frantically at us.  Both were adorned in the traditional cocoa nut bras, grass skirts and leas.  I would have looked longer at certain areas if Darien hadn't snapped me out of my senses.

"Where's everyone else?" he asked, worry in his voice.

"Oh don't worry their over by the campfire" Laura replied.

"Great then, let's go before we miss anything" We started moving forward towards the fire.

"Oh no you don't!" Rachel cried suddenly, jumping in our path and pushing us back.  "Not dressed and looking like that you won't!"

Now I was confused.  "What's wrong with the way I look?  I spent a good half hour trying to decide what to wear I hope you know" I retorted.

"That's nice" she replied.  Man, the girls got a temper as bad as Raye's. 

"What Rachel means is that as much as you look nice and everything, you have to wear traditional clothes to the Luau, otherwise it's an insult to the natives" Laura explained.

"Well, then what are we supposed to do?" a very angry Nephrite asked.

"Well, you could do what we did and head over to that place over there" Laura pointed over to her right where there was a huge secluded spot of large walls. "That's where we got dressed.  There's a very nice woman back there, her names Autumn Star and she'll hook ya up with the correct clothes."

"Thank you very much" Zoisite replied politely.  "We had best be going before we become late."  The guys headed over to the spot Laura had mentioned, but I stayed behind.

"I still don't see what's wrong with my outfit…" I muttered as Kunzite came back and dragged my over to where the rest of the guys were.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Darien's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hiya!  My name's Autumn Star and this is my friend Seto Kaiba.  I'm guessing you need some clothes for the Luau?" asked the very energetic woman.  She was about 5'2" with long rich dark hair, fairly tan skin, and milky brown eyes, or at least, that's what it looked like in the almost dark.  Next to her a tall shadow loomed.  That must have been her friend Seto Kaiba. His features were harder to make out since he was in the shadows, but the bit of moonlight that did shine on him revealed him to have a bit of stern face with brown hair and sharp blue eyes.  His skin appeared to be paler than Autumn Star's and he was grinning mercilessly.

Ignoring the man's smile I replied, "Yeah we do, can you help us?"

"Of course! That's why I'm here!" she responded.  "Now let's see, the right clothes…" as she went about looking for clothes, it amazed me at how she could see, it was so dark.

"Found some!!!" I heard her shout.   

"Quickly, put these on" she said.  I could just barely make out her outline. 

"Are these skirts?" I heard Nephrite ask suddenly.

"No, they're funny shorts" she replied.  I couldn't tell if she was sarcastic or not.

"Now if you'll come over here, I'll put your make-up on" a lower raspy voice commanded.

"But how can you see in the dark?" Jedite asked.

"I'm gifted, what can I say?"

"Yea, but whoever heard of a guy doing make-up?" Jedite muttered.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be talking" Kaiba warned. 

"Really?"

"Yes, now shut up so I can put the finishing touches on you and your friends."

Music started to play in the background, the Luau had started.

"Done" Kaiba stated, pushing us to the door.

"Now hurry or you'll be later than you already are!" Autumn Star urged.  "Oh and say this once you get there, it's an apology in Hawaiian.  It's I kapu 'ahi hapai y koloa."

"Thanks a bunch!" I yelled as the guys and I ran from the secluded area towards the camp fire.  As we got there, we were, we noticed that the natives were in what seemed to be an introduction to address everyone.  As we approached, we noticed everyone looking at us funny.

"Do I have something on my face?" I heard Jedite whisper.  Sighing, I turned towards the natives.  By now we were in the firelight and I was able to get a clear look at our clothes.  Swallowing hard, I think I just died.  Jedite and Zoisite were wearing old lady skirts and shirts, not to mention hats.  Kunzite and Nephrite on the other hand were in Scottish bagpipe costumes.  I on the other hand, well, when I looked down, I noticed that I had neither of the outfits that they wore, but I was in a kilt and granny top.  Looking at my friends faces, I came to notice that that's not all that was wrong.  The Kaiba guy who put our make-up on made us look like clowns!!!  Kunzite and Nephrite were adorned with blue triangles and green circles on their eyes, white faces and red lips and noses.  Zoisite and Jedite got off without the red noses, triangles, etc, but they had make-up on that made them look like middle age hookers!  Me, well, I didn't want to think about that right now.  Looking at the natives again, I saw them talking amongst themselves.  Then two big guys with pointy sticks came up to us.

"I kapu 'ahi hapai y koloa" I said, repeating everything that Autumn Star had told me to say.  Expecting the natives to let us go, they turned to me, eyes blazing.  Suddenly, I heard one of the natives yell something.  Out of no where, more pointy sticks appeared. 

"Run for it!" I heard Jedite yell.  Turning around, we all ran as fast as we could away from the natives.  Hearing something yelled, I turned around just momentarily to see more island natives gathering around with big pointy sticks.  The worst part was that they were now chasing after us.  That was all I needed. 

"HEAD FOR THE HILLS!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Serena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Oh my gosh' I thought in my head.  As soon as the guys were out of sight, I fell to the ground laughing where I was soon joined by all my friends.

"Did you see their faces?" Raye asked.

"Did I!" Lita replied laughing hysterically,

"Thanks for helping out Autumn Star and Seto Kaiba" I replied, catching my breath.

"You're welcome" she replied.  As we all caught our breath, we sat down once again on the logs that had been sitting on earlier.  "So what exactly does I kapu 'ahi hapai y koloa mean?" I asked suddenly. Autumn Star looked at Seto and they quickly burst into another round of laughter.

"What's so funny?" Mina asked.

"Well, I kapu 'ahi hapai y koloa means I claim the pregnant yellow tuna fish and duck in Hawaiian."  This caused all of to laugh.

"But why would it be offensive to the islanders then?" Amy asked curiosity in her voice.

"Well, how would you like it if someone told you that?" Autumn Star asked.

"I would think they were quite peculiar"

"Well, you wouldn't if you knew that tonight as a special treat for everyone that they were going to serve us duck and yellow tuna fish" Kaiba rasped evilly.

Another round of laughter took place.  For the rest of the night, we stayed around the campfire, telling stories, looking at the stars, and getting to know one another.  If you listened real closely, you could hear in the distance screams from five different men, but that was only if you were listening, no?

YEA!!! I AM DONE!!!! And just to let you know, I kapu 'ahi hapai y koloa does mean I claim the pregnant yellow tuna fish and duck in Hawaiian.  Yes, I did look it up.  THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO REVIEWED AND WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME IF YOU REVIEWED AGAIN, SO PLEASE DO!!!!

*****This chapter is dedicated to Autumn Ann Star who gave me the idea for the guys in dresses.  This chappie also goes out to Seto Kaiba whose a close friend of Autumn Ann Star's and was placed in the story.  THANKS A BUNCH!!!!********
