HIYA EVERYONE!!!! THE VOTES ARE IN AND THE WINNER IS……..

Wait, why should I tell you?  Read the story and find out yourself!

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

'Why' I asked myself 'Why?'  The girls had split, all because of my dumb idea.  'They must hate me now' I thought silently, 'well, Mina and Amy at least'.

"Sarah, what's going on?"

Turning around, I came face to face with four very quizzical faces. 

"It's nothing really, the girls and I just got in an argument and they stormed out of here and a mad rush.  It's Michelle and Amelia vs. Laura and Rachel if you're wondering" I supplied.  Pausing for a second, I added, "You might want to go talk to them since I wouldn't take sides."

The guys slowly nodded their heads in understanding………..and sympathy?  Shaking my head, my silver hair flew everywhere and landed in the plant next to me.  Pulling my head slightly, I came to the dreadful conclusion that my hair was stuck in the plant.  Lucky me.

"You guys might want to go after them now before they get to far and even angrier then they already are" I suggested.  As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Zoisite and Kunzite grabbed Nephrite and Jedite by the collars and dragged them out the door.  Of course, Jedite had to add a string of cuss words as he was led to the door, but hey, he's male, what else is expected? 

My mind wandered slightly for a second.  I wonder if the guys found the girls yet.  Great; now I have two problems to worry about: my friends and how to get my hair out of this overgrown plant.

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

'I wonder where Sere is" I marveled in my mind. 

SLAM

'I wonder what's going……'

SLAM

'on.  Hmm…….Maybe I should go check to see if everything is okay.  I hope everything's okay.'

SLAM

'Or maybe not.'

"DIE YOU STUPID PLANT!!!!"

Okay, something is definitely up now.  Opening the door to my room a crack, I peered out into the hallway.  After a quick glance, I noted that no one was there.  Opening the door all the way now, I walked slowly out into the hallway, stepping very lightly as to not cause the floor to squeak.  Whoever was out there yet, I wanted to surprise them. 

Rounding the corner, I looked inside the living room.  Hmm, no one was there…..wait a minute, is that Sere fighting with a plant???  This I gotta see.

Stepping very softly and lightly, I made it all the way into the living room without her seeing me. 

"Come on!!! Be a nice little planty plant and let go of my hair…like now!" Sere screamed as she worked desperately to get her hair from out of the plant.  Her back was now facing me.

 You know, it would be so easy right now to just sneak up on her and scare her half to death.  Oh it would be a site!  I could just imagine her right now; her delicate skin paling, her jumping frightened into the air and me, her prince charming, catching her before she fell and hit the ground.  But that would be to mean.  Although it would be entertaining……..

Sneaking up behind her very slowly, I positioned my hands directly above her small shoulders.  On the count of three.  One………….two………….three……….

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

'Why won't this stupid thing let go of my hair!' I screamed mentally as I made, yet again, another desperate attempt to get my hair untangled.  Just as I thought of making progress, I felt something clamp down on my shoulder…..

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" I cried screaming bloody murder. 

"Need a hand?" I voice asked innocently behind me.  Turning around as far as I could go without getting my hair even more tangled in the plant, I met a pair of dashing blue eyes.

"You idiot!  You nearly gave me a heart attack!" I screamed in anger as I watched him laugh amusingly at me.

"I couldn't help it" he explained.  "You just looked so vulnerable……"

"Oh shut up" I snapped, turning back around.

"I'm kidding Sere" Darien said softly.  "Here, let me help you." I felt my hands being taken inside larger, stronger ones as they gently set my hands down from the plant.  He then began to slowly run his fingers through my hair and working so gently as to get my hair out of the plant.  In a matter of minutes, my hair was no longer in the plant, nor was my body standing or by itself……….

"Sere" Darien whispered between his butterfly kisses.  "Do you care to explain what's going on?"

"Well" I said, pulling his head down so it stayed on my lips. 

"Yes?" he murmured against my lips before claiming them once again.

"We got into a fight………." I explained the rest to Darien as we continued our……..conversation, on the floor.

"Oh Sere, what do you want to do?" Darien asked tenderly as he helped me stand up and move over to the couch.

"Well………….."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Raye's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Lita, are you ready yet?" I asked annoyed.  Gosh, I swear it takes that woman forever to change into a bikini.

"Hold your horses Raye, I'll be out soon"

"That's what you said ten minutes ago!" I screamed annoyed.  I hated this.  All I wanted to do was go catch some rays, but no, I had to wait for Miss 'I'll be out soon'.  Just great.

"Are you done yet?!?!?" I screamed pounding loudly on the door.

"YES!"   The door opened up and there stood Lita, or should I say Laura, in a dark forest green bikini.

"What happened to the new one you just bought?" I asked.  The first day we arrived in Hawaii, we visited their little gift store they had inside.  Of course, Lita saw this lightening streaked swimsuit and had to buy it.  She didn't even try it on first, insisting that since it was her size it would fit her.  "Was it too small?"

"No, it was too big" she replied, walking down the hall.

"Too big?" I asked puzzled.

"Yea, in case you forgot that when I'm in my disguise, I'm smaller than I normally am, thus the swimsuit is too big."

"Nice one Einstein!  I could have told you that!"

"Uh huh, right" she nodded her head disbelievingly. 

"Well it's true ya know!" I defended.  "I just acted dumb to make you feel better!"

"Yea Raye, I believe you" 

"Oh just shut up.  Are we going down to the pool or not?" I asked irritated.

"Yea, come on"

As we walked down to the pool, the one outside that is, I couldn't stop thinking about the fight that just recently occurred. 

"Hello, Earth to Raye, come in Raye" I heard a voice say.

"What?  Oh" I looked over only to see Lita staring at me.

"You zoned out for a second" she commented.  "Thinking about something?"

"Huh?  Just the fight" I replied, trying to make it sound like it wasn't that big of a deal.  Apparently she didn't fall for it. 

"I know.  I mean, I see where Amy and Mina are coming from, but it's what we planned, ya know?"

I nodded dumbly.  I knew perfectly well how we all agreed to follow the plan no matter what.  What was our point for coming here otherwise?

"Just forget about it for now Raye, or should I say Rachel" Lita played, causing me to smile, lightening the mood for a second.  "Come on"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Amy's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mina, are you sure what we did was the right thing?" I asked worriedly.  We were just walking around the hotel right now, afraid to go back to our rooms thinking that Raye and Lita would be there.

"Well of…………….I don't know" Mina replied in defeat.  "I mean, she feel the same way as us, so why didn't she say anything?

"I don't know, maybe she has another plan up her sleeve." I suggested.

"It's just…….this is so complicated" Mina sniffed.

"Oh Mina" I stopped and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"I mean, we all thought that this would be great in the beginning.  I mean, half of it was pretty funny, what with the shopping, security guy we hired, and the toaster, but I mean, you saw how miserable they were.  This is just too much."

"And we're going to have a hard time undoing what we had done" I stated softly, resuming our walking.

"What do you mean?" Mina asked puzzled.

"Well, just think about it this way, we're going to have to tell the guys sometime that it's us.  We caused all those horrible things to happen, and why?  Just because we wanted pay back and wanted to see if they were loyal to us."

"You're right" Mina stated sadly.  "We're in such a huge mess of lies right now though, that it's going to be horrible trying to get out of it.  How will they ever forgive us?"

"I don't know Mina, I just don't know."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lita's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, don't splash!" I cried I shock as Raye sent a huge wave of water right at me.

"You never said I couldn't before" Raye smiled evilly.

"Really?  Then you wouldn't mind if I did…..THIS!" I screamed as I jumped over and dunked a very surprised Raye underwater.

"Laura, Rachel, is that you?" a voice asked over towards my left.  Looking over and letting go of Raye, who came up breathing for air, I saw Nephrite and Jedite coming our way.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.  "Aren't you supposed to be back in your room?"

"Yea well, we sick people have to get out sometime" Nephrite joked.  I felt my face heat up at this comment.

"Sorry about that, it turns out I was using a broken thermometer" I mumbled.

"Hahahahahaha!!!!" I looked murderously over at Jedite who somehow found this all very amusing.  Something caught my eye behind him all of a sudden.  That's when I noticed it was Raye.  She looked at me and gave me an evil wink before standing directly behind Jedite.

"Hey Jedite, I wouldn't be laughing if I were you" I warned.

"Yea…….hahahha……..but……..hahaha…….it's just………hahahaha….so…..hahaha…….funny….hahaha…..AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"  Jedite screamed as he did a belly flop, sending all the water everywhere.  Looking up, I saw a very satisfied Raye brushing off her hands on a job well done.  I couldn't hold it anymore.

"I warned you not to laugh" I stated smugly.  I burst out laughing when I caught a glimpse of Jedite.  Raye had pushed in the water, clothes and all……well mostly clothes.  As he got up out of the water, he seemed to be missing one very important piece of clothing.

(An: Anybody care to take bet on what he lost?  Bets start at a dollar a piece!)

"Nice rubber ducky boxers" Raye snickered, causing us all to laugh.  Yup you guessed it, you see, he had taken his shoes off over by the gate when he came in.  Seeing that he doesn't like wearing belts and his pants were slightly on the big side, when Raye pushed him in the water, the force causing him to loose his pants in the process.

"Shut up!  It's not funny!" Jedite ordered, trying to cover up his embarrassment, it didn't work.

Finally after we all settled down and Jedite had retrieved his pants (good thing they were the only ones at the pool), we all settled down on the lawn chairs set out by the hotel and began to talk.  You know, just because the others didn't want to follow the plan any more, doesn't mean we had to follow suit.

"So Jedite, do you weight lift?" Raye asked seductively "Since you seem so strong." Jedite of course ate this all up.

"Why as a matter of fact, I do." he replied smugly.

"Oh pa-lease!" Nephrite moaned.  Apparently I was the only one to hear it.

"Do you mind if I feel just how strong you are?" Raye asked sexily again. 

"Hey Jedite" Nephrite interrupted.

"Yea?"

"Do you need a needle?"

"No, why?"

"Cuz I think I'm going to need one to deflate that ego of yours."

"Shut up"

"So Nephrite, I don't think he's the only one who works out" I stated in my sexiest voice I could manage.

*gulp*

This was going to be fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mina's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Do you think that it's safe to go back to our room now?" I asked Amy who was looking at a clock in the hallway.

"I think so; we've been walking around for a good forty-five minutes.  Knowing them, they probably didn't want to stay just in case we came back."

"But what would happen if they thought that we thought that and they thought that we wouldn't have thought of this so they thought that they would stay there.  Or what if they thought that we thought that they thought that they we thought that they thought that we thought that we would…….."

"Mina, SHUT UP!" Amy cried, knocking me on the head.

"What, oh sorry."

As we arrived on our floor, I quickly pulled out the key to our room.  'Let's see, 218, 220, 222….ah!  224.'

"MICHELLE, *pant*, AMELIA, *pant*, WAIT UP!" I heard a deep voice call from behind us.  Spinning around quickly, I noticed that it was only Kunzy and Zoisite.

"What are you guys doing here?" Amy asked when she saw them.

"Well, you just left so suddenly…."

"How long have you been chasing after us?" Amy asked suddenly.

"Well…."

"Because we've been gone for a good forty-five minutes"

"Well, it took us…."

"Would you like to come in?" I asked, very perky as I put the key in the door and opened it up.  "No one else is here"

"I don't see why not" Kunzite shrugged.

"Great!"

Filing into the condo, Amy led everyone to the living room. 

"Would you like something to drink?" Amy asked nicely.

"Oh don't worry 'bout it Ames…eilia.  It's the same layout as theirs, if they want something they can get it themselves" I waved nonchalantly.

"But…"

"Come on, sit down!  We've been walking FOREVER and my feet are killing me."  Amy looked at me unsurely.  "Come on, SIT!" I said briskly, pushing Amy down onto the couch.

"So……."

"So…….."

"Why did you guys leave?" Zoisite asked suddenly, breaking the awkward feeling around us.

"Sarah told us some of it" Kunzite filled in, "but not much"

"We just got into a fight" I said plainly, trying to drop the subject.

"Yea, but you actually left." Zoisite emphasized.

"Yea, well…"

"Do you want to tell us what happened?" Kunzite asked me gently, placing a hand softly on my shoulder. 

'Okay, don't look into his eyes; don't look into his eyes…' I chided in my mind.

"Because you can trust us" Kunzite stated sincerely.  Looking up, our eyes locked.

'CRAP!' I screamed mentally.  You see, every time Kunzite wanted to know something that I knew that he didn't know, all he would do would look me in the eye, my heart would melt, I'd spill the information out, and then we'd break into a ten second French.  Nice, isn't it?

I couldn't tell him though.  If I did, then they would know everything and our entire plan would go down the drain.  I had to be strong, I couldn't say anything.

"You can trust us" Kunzite said again.  Crap, looked him in the eyes again.  I felt myself break, he broke down all barriers.

"It was about…"

-----------Dun, dun, dun.  I'm so evil aren't I?  THANKS TO ALL WHO REVIEWED!!!  I would have gotten this out sooner, but with having to wait longer to see what everyone voted and all, JUST DON'T KILL ME!!! (I won't be able to finish the story otherwise!)  please review!
