It was a normal fall day at Cascadia Tennis Academy. The leaves were just turning their fall colours and falling off the trees and the temperature wasn't too cold but wasn't too hot. If only practice was cancelled. Then it would have been a perfect day for the Top Guns.

Once practice was over, the Top Guns would head over to the Open where they would play cards and talk about the stupidest things. They all acted as if today was a normal day, because to them it was a normal day. Little did they know, today was different.

"Okay, I'm sick of cards!" Adena Stiles said as she lay down her cards on the table. Adena was a very well groomed person. She loved to have the latest trends and outfits out there, " Lets do something more-"

"Fun?" Cameron interrupted her. Cameron White was a newcomer to the gang. After Meghan and Sebastien, he and Tannis McTaggart had come in to a not so welcoming gang. Now everyone was cool with everyone and they were comfortable with another.

"We could wander. Never done that before." Said Squib putting his cards on the table with Adena's. Squib was the class, no, school clown. He was the guy everyone knew and everyone wanted to be like. With his wicked serve and amazing footwork Squib Furlong was one of the best players in the whole school. He and Sunny, but we won't go there.

"I'm up for it." Cody said agreeing with Squib. Cody Myers was the artist of the gang. Even though she didn't play tennis, they still included her as one of them. The only reason why she was even in the tennis school was because her father was their shrink.

The gang all stood up and walked outside. They walked all around the school about two times before they were joined by the last member of Group A, Tannis McTaggart. Tannis had two personalities. One was nice, friendly and helpful (mainly off courts.) Then there was the crazy, mad, out of control person who would throw anything in her way at you (mainly on courts.)

"Hey guys, guess what I just found out!" she said as she walked up to then non-enthusiasticly.

"What!" Squib said very enthusiastically but being sarcastic. Adena hit him in the arm.

"What is it?" She asked

"Come here." She walked into the school as the rest followed her. They walked down the hallways until they reached the main office. Tannis stopped in front of the bulletin board and pointed at a piece of paper. It read…

Cascadia Exchange

Dear Cascadian Students!

We are having our very first exchange program where the different groups will be going to different parts of North America to get more 'socialized'! You will work on your game while you're at your new locations, but this activity is mainly because a bunch of parents have informed us that they want their children to get to know more people then just the students at Cascadia!

Without any further ado. Here are where the groups are going!

GROUP A: Orange County

GROUP B: Vancouver

GROUP C: Washington

GROUP F: Toronto

"Socialized?" Cody said.

"Orange County?" Adena and Tannis said together.

"Our parents wanted us to meet new people?" Cameron said.

"We still have to work on our tennis!" Squib said.

"This has got to be a joke!" Cody said looking at the poster.

"Orange County? Where the hell is that?" Tannis asked.

"California!" Cameron told her.

"WE'RE GOING TO CALIFORNIA!" Adena squealed.

"Adena calm down, this isn't a shopping trip." Squib told her as he looked at the poster with Cody.

"The only thing in Orange County are a bunch of rich teens who think about tanning and water-polo and shopping." Cameron said looking at Adena as her face lit up with excitement as the word 'shopping' came out of his mouth. Tannis hit Adena on the head.

"Adena… we are not going to spend the whole time shopping, because that would be a waste of time." Tannis said as she crossed her arms and joined Cody and Squib who were looking at the poster making sure it was real and not a joke.

"This is so stupid. I don't even play tennis." Cody said as she leaned against the wall.

"Yea but your dad is staff and he might have suggested it." Squib said still reading the poster over, and over again.

"Well maybe it'll be fun." Cameron said looking at the gang.

"Fun?" Squib said as he looked at his friend.

"As-" Said Tannis.

"If." Cody finished her little come back.

"California, here we come!" Adena said and smiled to the rest of the gang.
