Domon leaned over the counter of the receptionist room. It was a very luxurious hotel, no doubt the owner had been careful not to restrain his posh propensity. There was no receptionist there to greet him so he rang the service bell. A few moments later, a young female attendant appeared from behind the curtained room marked 'Employees Only'.

"Good evening," the woman chimed, smiling from ear to ear. She glanced over at the other two teens that were huddled over in the corner. AJ had collapsed during the trek there and Domon had to carry him for the rest of the way.

"Hi, we've noticed your advertisement and have decided to take you up on it." Domon jerked his thumb back to indicate the other three were with him.

The woman's cheery smile never left. "Yes, of course. The Couple's Package." She studied Domon carefully as if he were the Mona Lisa, thus making him blush and curse inwardly. Back in school, no one had the clout to do what this complete stranger was doing.

Domon scowled, leaning over the counter and supporting his chin in his palm. "Do you have a problem?"

She smiled again. "You four look far too young to be on your honeymoons."

"What?!" Domon fell face first as his elbow slipped from the counter. He got up heatedly and threw the receptionist a death glare. "We are NOT honeymooners!" God, cant this ditz take a damn clue?

"Oh? My mistake, sir. Please do not take my misconception personally. I just assumed that two young couples making a reservation in a hotel this far from the city…"

"No! No! We are just friends on a trip for school!"

Domon was staring daggers at the overly elated receptionist who nodded her head unsurely before motioning for them to follow her. 'Damn,' thought Domon. 'Even the elevator looks classy.'

The bellhop was the first to exit the elevator. He stopped at the door on the far left of the corridor and opened the door with an access card. Setting the luggage down, he handed Domon the card and went to the room next to the one he just exited to set down the rest of the luggage.

"So how are we going to split up the rooms?" asked AJ. His question was asked out of pure curiosity but the ideas formulating in the other three's minds were surely not.

"I guess me and Allenby'll share a room," suggested Rain. Domon nodded in assent and trekked to the other room. AJ followed but stopped when the bellhop called him.

"Excuse me, sir? Just where do you think you're going?"

"Uhh…this room?" He pointed at the room that he'll be shacked up with Domon.

"But your girlfriend is in that – oh I see."

"What?"

"I didn't mean to offend you, sir. May I offer a bit of advice?"

"Sure…"

"We have some uh, commodities, in the dresser. Please do not hesitate to use them with your uh, life partner, okay?"

"WHAT?!" The bellhop bowed at the stunned AJ and left before the indignant teenager could explain he was not queer.

Fumed at the assumptions made by the bellhop, AJ went into the room and picked up his bag. "What the hell are you doing?" Domon asked but seeing his friend's enraged eyes decided not to question his further actions. "We're switching roommates," he growled, leaving the room so the stunned Domon could muse.

AJ nearly kicked the door off its hinges as he entered the girls' room. "I'm staying here," he said in finality as he saw the questioning look on their faces. "Rain. Other room. Go. NOW."

"Just wait a damn – hey! What the hell are you doing?" Rain cried out indignantly as she was bodily carried out of the room. "Let me the hell go!" She squirmed to get free from AJ's grasp but to no avail. "You will stay with Domon," he whispered in a deadly voice, daring her to contradict him. Rain consented but nevertheless glowered at AJ.

"Geez. What crawled up your –"

"Don't you DARE say it!" AJ left her in front of Domon's room and ran off with his hands covering his ears. Rain stared at the retreating form in mock wonder. "He must have issues," she said to herself.

"Hey," said a voice, shocking Rain from her thoughts. He grinned, "Talking to yourself again?"

Rain playfully slapped in on the arm. "Oh, you are so mean sometimes."

Domon smiled at her reaction. The floor looked relatively empty; all the other patrons were at breakfast. He looked left and right, then back at Rain. "You coming in or what?"

Rain was relieved Domon wasn't making a big deal out of the whole thing. After all, they WERE two hormone-driven teens at a fancy (not to mention ROMANTIC) hotel in God knows where.

'Idiot! Stop thinking about that!' screamed Rain's conscience.

'He IS good looking, somewhat sweet, and fun to be around with,' thought Rain. 'Not to mention he has a killer body.'

"Well, I have to get going," said Domon, who inched toward the door. "See you later, okay?"

"Wait, don't go!" said Rain, stopping Domon by wrapping around his arm. Domon raised an eyebrow and threw her a skeptical glare. She winced and let go of his arm. Instantly he felt sorry for startling her. She was very pretty even when she's not in the best of moods. He sighed, feeling thoroughly miserable.

"I'll stay," he relented, his mood brightening after seeing Rain's frown had lifted.

"Oh! We'll have so much fun! We can go shopping, eat lunch, maybe get your hair fixed?"

"That sound – what?" He was slightly abashed about the hair part. There was no way he was going to let anyone touch his 'do.

"Please?" Rain gave him a watery smile she knew Domon couldn't resist.

"Fine, but I'm going down, you have to convince Allenby to take AJ with me."

Rain made a weird noise halfway between a snort and a stifled laugh. She was barely an inch from touching Domon and was about to confess her love for him when the other pair entered the room. The impatient aspiring doctor was about to tell them off but she could only stare at AJ's face. Domon also took notice of his best friend's new look and nearly toppled off the bed as he doubled over in laughter. The culprit Allenby smiled mischievously as she clung onto the chagrined AJ who, by the look on his face, was not all too happy about the reaction of his friends.

"Just…what the HELL is…that?" Domon managed in between laughs, his finger pointing at AJ's mascara covered face. "I don't know. It looks like it needs some finishing touches, huh, Rain?"

"Leave me alone!" AJ stormed out the room, his actions making the other three laugh twice as hard. After a few minutes, they calmed down a bit but it seemed that AJ had already left. Allenby sighed in content as she collapsed onto the nearby couch. She noticed her best friend and Domon sitting really close to each other on the king sized bed. "Did we interrupt something?" she asked, her face the epitome of innocence. Both Domon and Rain looked at each other, their faces turning new degrees of crimson.

"No, it's not like that!"

"Uh-huh. All right, I'm going back to my room now. Don't let me stop you two mad lovers." the blue-haired girl casually sauntered to the door. By now she was at the doorway her mind once again filled with mischievous thoughts. "The bellhop mentioned some commodities in the dresser." She shrugged, trying her best not to laugh at their reactions. "Just a tip."

AJ paced around the ground floor beside with anger. To him, there was nothing more insulting than to be laughed at. But he had calmed down a bit after thinking it through. No, it wasn't his friends that he was mad at. He had acted in an unacceptable way, and for that he had himself to hate. 'Why cant I just take a damn joke?' he thought. A nearby group of elderly people passed by and for some reason was fascinated by him and couldn't stop staring. 'What the hell are their problems?'

"Oh, my! It's always the cute ones," a nearby attendant sighed, winking at AJ when he turned toward her direction. "It's too bad he's –" At that exact moment, a vociferous group entered the room, making it impossible for AJ to hear what she was trying to say.

'Too bad I'm what? Too bad I'm what?' He was about to confront the attendant when he felt someone tapping his back. He turned around to see the maitre d' with a slip of paper in his hands. "Give me a call sometimes, okay?" He tapped his romp, smiled goofily, and left while a number of the male attendants started to swoon.

AJ stiffened as he found himself unable to move. He could feel the blood draining from his face. Once again Faith had chosen him to be the recipient of some sort of twisted joke. It was not the first time he had been hit on by his own sex, but he felt more uncomfortable than any of the other times it had happened.

"I have to get out of here," he muttered to himself as looked at himself in the mirror. His legs seemed to have moved on its own, because he now found himself in the restroom removing the makeup Allenby had been so willing to put on him. He shuddered as he remembered the earlier event. No, he wasn't a homophobe but he didn't appreciate such a suggestive gesture, ESPECIALLY by a homosexual individual who, if he wanted to, could easily find out what room he was staying in.

He soon found himself outside where the valet was. For a hotel located in the middle of nowhere, it had a number of prosperous patrons. Most of the vehicles that passed the valet were Benz and better. As a matter of fact, the Mercedes Benz brand originated from Europe, and was today one of the most– "What the hell am I thinking? My libido has been terminated, I have to get it the hell back!!" He looked around and noticed the famous hot springs. But it wasn't the hot springs that had caught his attention, it was all the bikini-clad babes!

"Have I died and gone up to heaven?" AJ wondered as he frantically ripped off his shirt and walked over to the hot springs, where he was immediately noticed. "Hello, ladies! Don't worry; there's plenty of me to go around!!" Smiles all around, AJ went over to the beach chairs to set his things down.

"Haha! Man, Domon's going to FLIP when he hears about–THUD"

Before he could finish his sentence, AJ felt an immense force colliding with his head. His vision immediately turned red as he felt every cell in the cerebrum region shake. He tried to curse but to no avail; his voice box was not functioning. After one second, the traumatic stress consumed his being as he fell to the floor like a dead weight.

'Just what the hell was that?' was his last thought before drowning into a sea of darkness.

A/N: No, he isn't going to die. But I cant promise there wont be comedy in later chapters.
