Chapter One: Getting There
"Mahiru! Wake up! Today's the trip and if you don't get up now, we'll be LATE!" shouted Akira, running pell-mell about the room panicking. Mahiru's summer vacation had started 2 weeks ago and everyone decided that a trip to the beach was in order. The car was packed, running, and all they needed was Mahiru to get up so they could leave. Said girl mumbled a sleepy "Whaaa...?" and stretched out, trying to open her eyes. She was unable to fall asleep last night due to over-excitement.
"The trip! Remember! Vaca on the BEACH! And if you don't get up, we'll leave without you!" babbled Akira, jumping on the bed and shaking Mahiru.
"OH" Mahiru jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, grabbing the nearest items of clothing and locking herself in. "CRAP!" she shouted, rushing out again, half dressed, to throw a long-sleeved shirt at a blushing Akira. Grabbing a blue tank top instead, she pulled it on and ran a comb through her hair before madly snatching Akira and running out the door. They finally made it to the car, Mitsuru grumbling about them being late and Nozomu near to falling back asleep; the blonde-haired vampire wasn't a morning person. Misoka was in the driver's seat of the van flipping through a book. Once everyone was strapped in, he waved to Oboro and turned the key in the ignition. Everyone was quiet for a few minutes until a small, panda-like noise was heard.
"STOP THE CAR!" Mahiru shouted, unbuckling her seatbelt and slamming open the van door. She was out of the car before Misoka even had a chance to stop. "P-princess!" he shouted after her. Mahiru was sprinting down the sidewalk towards the Moonshine, Nozomu in hot pursuit. 'Damn, she's fast,' he thought, feet slapping the pavement. Skidding to a halt outside the Moonshine's door, he stopped to catch his breath. Mahiru came back out, a stuffed dolphin clutched to her chest.
Nozomu fell over in shock just as Misoka pulled up in front of the bar, more than a little angry about the delay. "Princess, what?" he stopped short, eyeing the wee blue plushy the flushed Mahiru was choking to death and the rumpled Nozomu picking himself up off the ground. Misoka sighed wearily and said, "Never mind, just get in the car and let's go."
A couple rest stops later
"STOP POKING ME, WOMAN!"
"Guys, please—"
"HEY! Give it BACK, Mitsuru!"
"I think I'm gonna be sick…"
Fume-
"That's MINE and I want it BACK!"
"You're such a baby, Mahiru!"
"Ooohhh…"
"OUCH!"
-Fume-
"LIGHTNING!"
"NO, Mitsuru!"
"KYAHHH! Nozomu! Make him stop!"
"C-can't…gonna be…sick…"
"THAT'S IT! I'M PULLING OVER!"
"…"Misoka yanked the van into the shoulder of the road and slammed the brakes, sending the whole group flying.
"FIRST of all, I am SICK of you bickering! Mitsuru, quit acting like a five year old and give Mahiru back her plushy. Mahiru, PLEASE stop screeching. Nozomu—where did he go?"
Nozomu was leaning over the guardrail, retching. Akira was standing next to him, holding the hair out of his face and rubbing his back sympathetically. Misoka sighed and ran a hand through his jet-black hair. Akira helped Nozomu to the van, the vampire pale and a little green.
"I'm separating you all. Mahiru, you'll be up front with me. Akira and Mitsuru, sit in the middle. Nozomu…you can sit in the back, it's darker there and you can stretch out if you need to. Now, I DON'T want to here a SINGLE sound for at least a half hour. Everyone got it? Good." (A/N If you don't get it, the van's seating is like this: 2, 2, and 3. Driver and passenger seat up front, 2 seats in the middle, and then that connected row of 3 seats in the very back, then the trunk…I trust we've all seen a van, right?)
The friends all piled into the van again and sped off toward their destination, a little summer cottage only 5 minutes from the beach. Needless to say, the group was very quiet. Misoka could be quite persuasive.
Author's Notes! YEAAAHH! Nymie's finally writing! (Although it's probably not the story you all want to be updated.) I'm sooo excited; I've just had so many ideas lately (though not enough time to write or anything). First of all, I'd like to announce that AFMN is on a temporary hiatus. (PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! dodges random objects) I'm really sorry, but I just don't know what to do with it. Also, for a looooong time, my computer was acting funny. One day, the hard drive crashed and my dad dumped the whole thing, my files included (obviously). I couldn't save anything… I lost it ALL because I write from my head onto the Word document and don't rewrite it on paper because I'm a BAD Nymie! Needless to say I've learned my lesson and am currently working on recovering it from both the bad computer and my head. . Sooo here's some new stuff for you to munch on while I fix it! Much love, everyone! I PROMISE to update mostly frequently! And that made NO sense whatsoever, but yeah!
