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.........Oh ya, I don't own the song either, it belongs to Phantom Planet!!!

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.

Mia's POV -G&T

Today, my dad is coming with me to Princess Lessons. I'm so nervous. I mean, I should be able to go, right? Any normal kid would be able to go if BOTH of their parents agreed. But no, not me, Mia Thermopolis, because I'm a princess! I need the queen's permission to go anywhere. Why do I have to be a princess? I'm already a freak! What other princesses do you know that are tall, skinny, in love with their best friend's brother, flat-chested, and flunking algebra? Can't think of any? I can't either. That's because I'm the only one.

Anyways, it's not like I have any other choice than to ask Grandmere, so I have to gather confidence now. Sometimes I wish that I could just be Lilly. I mean, she's great with adversity, her parents agreed to let her go right when she asked without even an argument, AND she gets to live in the same house as Michael. Well I mean I guess living with Michael isn't a big deal to her, considering that he's her brother. Plus, having these feelings I have for Michael would be like totally illegal if I were her, so I guess I'm fine being Mia. I just wish that I could borrow some of her confidence once in a while.

I STILL have NO IDEA of how to convince Grandmere to let me go. Tina and Lilly couldn't think of anything either. I have to think of something, or this is totally hopeless. Well I'm not giving up on seeing Michael without a shirt without a fight. Oh, speaking of Michael, he's heading over here right now, probably to help me with my Algebra.

Michael's POV

Mia looks so cute writing in her journal like that. I don't want to disrupt her but I really want to talk to her. Maybe I could just ask if she needed any help with Algebra. That would work. That way, I won't look too obvious. So I walk up to her, and here's how it went.

"Hey Thermopolis."

"Hey Michael," she said smiling up at me. Have I mentioned that I love her smile? Well, I do.

"Have you talked to your grandmother yet?" I asked pulling up a chair beside her.

"Nope, I'm going to after school today at Princess lessons," she said frowning slightly.

"Ahh, well good luck with that."

"Thanks. I need a lot of luck."

I laughed. "So, do you need any help with Algebra today?" I asked, trying not to sound too eager.

"Yeah, sure. Just let me get my book," she said pulling her book out of her bag and putting her journal away.

"Hey Mia..."

"Yeah, Michael?" she asked looking up at me with the cutest face I've ever seen.

"I....I....I reallyhopeyoucangotoCalifonia," I said really fast as I smiled at her.

"I really hope so too," she said smiling back at me, looking, well beautiful as ever.

Nothing can put me down now, well unless she CAN'T go, but, well, let's not think about that!
