Chapter 1- Phone call ---- This chapter was written by willowzlilsecret D

"Hold on Buffy, I'm gonna three way Cordy." Willow said into the phone

"Alrighty." Buffy agreed and Willow clicked off the line.

Buffy was still in her pjs, even though it was three in the afternoon. Her hair was still an enormous mess, and she was still half asleep. She walked aimlessly around her room. 'So this is how my summer is gonna be,' she said to herself. 'Just wandering around my house in my pajamas all day, not bothering to get dressed.' Suddenly Willow clicked back on the line.

"Buffy, you still there?" Willow asked.

"Yep." Buffy answered, unenthusiastically.

"Cordy?" Willow asked.

"Duh." Cordelia answered.

"Ok, I have something important to ask you guys." Willow said.

"What is it?" Buffy asked.

"If its red or black, go with the black." Cordelia said at the exact same time as Buffy spoke.

"Uhm right…" Willow answered. "Anyway, what I was going to ask was, do you guys want to spend summer vacation with me and my family at our beach house on the Atlantic coast?"

"No, I'm going to Italy." Cordelia answered.

"Uh, I can check…who all is going?" Buffy asked.

"Ok, Cordelia, since when are you going to Italy? and Buffy, my aunt, my uncle, my cousin, and three of his friends." Willow said.

"Since my daddy got an extra month of vacation, duh!" Cordelia answered.

"Ok, Wills, Cordy, I'll be right back." Buffy said and set the phone down.

"Are you sure you're going to Italy?" Willow prompted.

"Ugh! Yes I'm sure! Would you like me to ask?" Cordelia asked in desperation.

"Yes, actually." Willow answered, sounding pleased.

"God you're so stubborn and high maintenance!" Cordelia exclaimed and set down the phone.

'Ha, someone being more stubborn and high maintenance then Cordy…that'll be the day!' Willow said to herself as she went back to packing. She held the phone between her ear and her shoulder as she picked up some clothes strewn about her floor. She folded them, stuffed them in her bag, and moved on to the next section of clothes.

"I'm back and I can go. My mom was practically rejoicing to get rid of me because she has a bunch of shows at the gallery and then she's going on a business trip to the Big Orange." Buffy said.

"Uh…Orange Country…as in Florida?" Willow asked.

"No, silly, the Big Orange as in New York City, duh!" Buffy said.

"Uh, Buff…that's the Big Apple." Willow said laughing.

"Oh…I knew that." Buffy said and joined the laughter. "So where'd Cordelianna get to?"

"How did we ever come up with Cordelianna?" Willow wondered, then answered. "She should be back any second now, she was just making sure that she's actually going to Italy."

"Uhm…Will…can you do me a huge favor?" Buffy asked.

"What is it?" Willow asked hearing Buffy's worried tone.

"Well, the only way I can go to the beach with you is if I bring Dawn." Buffy said.

"That's fine! One of my cousins friends is bringing his brother and he's the same age as Dawn, I think…" Willow answered.

"Oh thank God!" Buffy exclaimed.

"Ok, I don't want any comments from the peanut gallery." Cordelia said, butting into the conversation. "But we're not going to Italy because my mom has a weird phobia of planes or whatever."

"That's awesome! That means you're coming!" Willow exclaimed.

"I never said that!" Cordelia protested.

"Oh come on Cordy, you know you want to. There will be guys there. Hot guys." Buffy said trying to convince her, even though she knew she was already won. Cordy likes to play hard to get.

"Ok…but only because otherwise I'd have to swim in a public pool." Cordelia said. Short pause. "My Daddy isn't opening our pool this summer." she explained.

"YES!" Buffy and Willow exclaimed in unison.

"I think this calls for a shopping trip!" Buffy said enthusiastically. She had something to do this summer! It wouldn't be spent sleeping and being lazy! Cordelia and Willow agreed immediately and the three girls started planning.

"This is gonna be the hottest summer ever!" Willow exclaimed.
