Title: California, Here We Come

Rating: PG to be safe, but most likely G

Summary: Tina won a trip for her and 5 friends to California, but the winners all have to attend a highschool

in California which opened its doors to the contest winners. There were 5 winners, making 30 people

(the winners plus their 5 friends). They will find unexpected love, fun, and thrills as they head out to Cali.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, except for the new characters introduced in the next few chapters. I do wish I

owned Michael, but sadly I don't :( but I'll keep dreaming.........

Slight AU: Tina and Dave are broken up already BUT this story occurs right after the Rocky Horror

Picture show, so Mia IS dating Kenny at this time. Also, Tina is the only one who Mia's told about her

crush on Michael.

--Thanks to all the reviewers--

review-happy: Hey, thanks for the tip about the MTV thing, you know what, I think I'll do that.

That's a great idea. You're very smart. If you change your mind about co-writing, let me

know. It'd be great to have your help.

Thanks also to balletbabe101,Gina,robtaymattlouned, saltytheseashorecrabshell, and everyone

else who reviews after I post this! Thanks for taking time out of your day to review! :)

Now on with the story........

--Mia's POV--

"Dad, come on, please?!" I begged.

"No, Mia, don't make me do this. You have to stay here with your family. What about

Thanksgiving? Did you plan on leaving us?"

"No, I just, dad, this is a once in a lifetime offer. Don't you understand..."

"I can't leave you all alone halfway across the country."

"I won't be alone! I'll have Lars with me. Plus, Tina's bodyguard will be there. That's two

bodyguards. Plus, there will be all the staff at the school. I'll also have all my friends.

They won't let anything happen to me." I begged and pouted.

"I don't know Mia........."

"Dad, please! I'll call as much as I can."

"You'll never go off alone? You'll stay with Lars? You're a princess Mia. You need to be

protected."

"Ok, I wont go off alone. I'll stay with Lars. I'll stay away from MYSTERIOUS people, just

PLEASE let me go....."

"Fine. You can go, but you better call and stay out of trouble."

"Oh Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I said jumping up and down and hugging him. "Hey dad,

can you maybe........"

"No way. I'm not talking to your grandmother. I don't want to deal with that woman."

"Dad, please. She's YOUR mother."

"Well, she's YOUR grandmother."

"She loves you more....."

"Hmph"

"Dad....I'll bring you back something from California...."

"Fine, we'll talk to her together."

"Fine." I said pouting and walking to my room. At least I don't have to go all alone. Maybe

I can tell her that I'll........Hmmmmmmm What CAN I tell her? It's got to be SOMETHING about

Genovia. I'll talk to Lilly and Tina. Maybe they'll think of something. I can't wait!

--Michael's POV--

So, I'm in my room packing.....for California. This is going to be so great. My parents

said yes right away. They have lots of meetings this month anyway. They said it would be no

problem. This rocks. Some days, I just love my parents. Although, I'll never admit it.

I can't wait to be alone with Mia in California. I just have to get Kenny out of the way.

Think Moscovitz........

Did I mention that Tina is my hero? I really should thank her for winning and letting me come.

I mean, I'm not even her age or anything like that. I don't really even know her that well.

She's cool though, I mean, I wonder why she let me come.......Well, no matter what, I'm

glad she did. Well I can pack later, I don't know why I'm packing so early. I guess I'm just

really excited. I have to make sure I look my best in California. I really want Mia to notice

me. I think I'm going to go online. Oh, look who's on........Mia, the girl who consumes most

of my thoughts these days. Too bad I'm just her best friend's dorky older brother. Oh well,

I'm not going to give up talking to her just because she doesnt feel the same way about me.

CracKing: Hey Thermopolis

FtLouie: Hey Michael. How's it going?

CracKing: It's alright. So what's the verdict? Do you get to go to California?

FtLouie: I hope so. I mean, my mom and dad both said yes. Now, its just up to Grandmere

CracKing: Ouch. Maybe you can catch her in a good mood.

-What will I do if Mia can't go? Everything will be ruined. I already said I'd go, so if I

changed my mind just because Mia wasn't going, everyone would know. It would be too obvious.

Maybe I could get sick........That still might be really obvious. Darn. Well, let's just

hope that she can go. If not, I'll be having a lot of one-on-one time with Kenny. Kenny is

so lucky. Ugh, why do I have to be the best friend's older brother?

FtLouie: I don't know if she has good moods. At least my dad's coming with me to talk to

Grandmere.

CracKing: I hope everything turns out alright.

FtLouie: Thanks. Me too. I have to go though. The phone's for me. I'll talk to you later.

CracKing: Bye, Thermopolis.

FtLouie: Bye, Michael.

--Why do I have to be in love with someone that will never love me back. It's probably Kenny

on the other line. He's probably talking to Mia about California and how if she can go, they'll

spend all their time together. He's so lucky spending time with the best girl on the entire

planet. Sometimes life can be so unfair!
