Suggestions? (Again, email me!)

In the morning, the girls woke up to harsh knocking at their door. Nicole rolled out of bed, smoothed down her hair, and opened the door. She was expecting Coco, but the three boys were standing there, dressed and ready to go. Her eyes widened and she screamed, then slammed the door, muttering in a very surprised voice about walking in front of guys in her pajamas without brushing her hair.

Her scream had woken up Dana, Quinn and Zoey. Dana sat up and fired a pillow at Nicole's head. She screamed again. Zoey groaned into her pillow, only to have it yanked from under her head so Dana could hit Nicole again. Quinn not-so-gracefully fell out of her bed and lay in a tangled heap of sheets, pillows, and a quilt. Nicole explained to them what had happened. Zoey groaned again at Nicole's annoyingness. She got out of bed, grabbed a brush, gave her hair a few strokes, and opened the door. The three guys were still standing there. Chase said, "I thought you guys would be ready by now or at least awake. We came to get you guys for breakfast." Zoey took his hand and twisted it gently so she could see his watch. He blushed a deep red. She didn't notice, because she was looking at the watch. It was 10:00. "Omg! It's 10! We only have an hour till breakfast ends! We gotta get ready!" She let go of his hand.

The three girls got ready and met the boys, who were sitting outside in the hallway. They rose as the girls came out. "You guys took 20 minutes!" Mike complained.

"We did?" Nicole said, surprised. "Yeah, you did. And that's not a good thing" Logan said grouchily.

"Yes it is!" Nicole said. "That's a record for me!"

"O-kaaay" the guys said. They were hungry.

After breakfast, the kids decided to explore the ski lodge. They walked around the hallways, passing a large game room, with pool tables, dart boards, etc. They also passed an arcade, 5 lounges, an indoor swimming pool, and a couple of outdoor patios. There was a lot to do, and after explrong they had lunch. After lunch, they decided to go swimming. Tomorrow they would start ski lessons.
They all met each other at the pool. There were a few doors in the pool room. One was to a health club, another was to a yoga room, another was to a gymnastics room, one was to a women's locker room, and one was to a men's locker room. Inside the locker rooms were a sauna, a hallway of showers, a bathroom, and three hallways of lockers. There was a locker for each hotel room. The girls went to their corresponding locker, and stuck their room card into the slot. Then they opened it up. It was about 1 1/2 foot deep, 1 1/2 feet wide, and 2 feet tall. The girls had already changed into their suits in their room, but they put their towels and the clothes they were wearing over their suitsin the locker. The boys had done the same, and they all met at the pool.

There was two pools in the big room. On was a heated pool and the other was just a regular pool. There was also a Jacuzzi in one corner, but it was only for people 16 and over. (yes, there are places with age limits on Jacuzzis. At least in Pennsylvania there are. I went on vacation there once and there was a Jacuzzi with an age limit of 16.)

Dana stood in front of the cold pool, mentally preparing herself to jump into it. Logan snuck up behind her,put his hands on her back and pushed.(A/N:If you didn't see that coming, you are very ignorant! Hahahahaha!Sorry. JK.)

There was a giant splash as she fell in. She came up, spit out a mouthful of water and screamed. "Aaahhh! Logan Reese, you're DEAD!" Logan jumped in, splashing her. She grabbed onto his shoulders and pushed him under. He came up, lifted her over his back, and went under. They came up, he was laughing and she was smiling. "Well, guess you're not such an ice queen after all" he said. For that comment, he got a ducking, but it was good natured. The rest of their group was in the heated pool.

"I wanna go in the Jacuzzi" Logan said, and pulled himself out the water. "There's an age limit, and you won't make it for two years" Dana said. "Some stupid age limit is not gonna bother me-I'm Logan Reese. Come on, join me." He helped her out of the water and pulled her to the Jacuzzi. A guy stopped them. "You kids are not 16, are you."

Dana gave Logan an I-told-you look. "No, but I am Logan Reese. I have a dad, Malcolm Reese. You mighta heard of him, and maybe some of my dead president friends." Logan walked over to his bag and pulled out a wallet. He took out two 50's and a 20. "You know you want it" he said, waving in the guy's face. The guy was only about 22. He took the bills and allowed them in the Jacuzzi.

"That's how you beat an age limit, Dana. Connections." Logan said.

"Yeah, and bribes." she said, but she wasn't complaining. "Thanks for letting me in." Logan looked at her. "Don't be surprised. You're one of my best friends. And I feel bad for pushing you in, before." he said. She smiled. "You know, you're nice when you want to be."

He smiled and didn't say anything. He snaked an arm around her back, but didn't pull her close. She looked at him, trying to figure out if his arm was around her or if it was justthe feeling of the jets.

"What are you looking at me for, Cruz? I know I'm hot, but you're scaring me" he said. She stood up and felt his arm slide off her back. "Aha" she said. "You put your arm around me. Why?" She wasn't mad, just curious.

He shrugged. They were both blushing a bit. "Felt like it" was all the explanation he offered. She sat back down, next to him, closer than before. She pulled his arm back around her and snuggled in a bit. He smiled, and threw her words back at her.

"You put my arm around me. Why?" he asked, in that same tone of voice she had used. She smirked. "Felt like it" was all she said.

Later, at dinner, Dana and Logan were sitting directly across from each other at the table. When Dana turned to ask Mike something, Logan stole half her burger and began eating it. Zoey saw and gave him a look like 'I saw that. Don't you have your own?' Logan gave her a look like 'What? I'm hungry.' He got a look back from Zoey like 'Whatever'. She didn't tell Dana. When Dana turned around and saw it for herself, she didn't say anything either.

At dessert, when everyone's ice cream came,Logan turned away to tell Nicole to shut up. She was blabbering about how hot that guy over there was and blahblahblah. As he talked to her, Dana scooped half his bowl of ice cream in to her own dish. He turned around and demanded to know who stole it. He looked at her. "Tha's you, isn't it, Cruz."

"Number one: don't call me Cruz. Number 2; Maybe." He began eating out of her bowl. She let him.

A/N:My sister Juli (readerbsmschic1053) gave me the idea for them stealing food, so that's her credit right there. Well, I'm on vacation from July 16th to July 24th, so I won't review or anything for the next week. Or update, which I don't do often anyway. But on the (LOOOOONG) plane ride and whenever I have time to spare (I'm going somewhere relaxing, so I have lots of time just to lay in a beach chair or pool lounge and write) I'll come up with ideas so I can update more often. As always, please read and review. Thanks! Hugs and cookies, as many as you want, to all my lovely reviewers, especially Natalie. Ur so awesome, girl! Love ya and see you all l8er. Adios y hasta luego! (Bye and see you later. I'm trying to use my Spanish more, I don't wanna forget it over the summer. ) I will miss you guys!
