Buahaha! Next chapter or two… the secret! xD For now… they're going and getting there.

"There." It was already 9:00 AM, past the time school started. I was supposed to be picked up by Tetsushi, Hiroki, and Nina. There wasn't enough room in the car (since his mom is driving), so Yuta and Sayaka are taking his dad's car…

From below came a loud honk, which surprises me. I jumped, eyes wide, realizing my friends were here. I grab two hair ties and tie my hair into two ponytails, grab my bags, then run downstairs. "I'M LEAVING MOM!" I scream to my mother in the backyard. I lug my suitcases out, and see the cars.

"H… hi." I pant as I throw my suitcases into the trunk and hop in the car, next to Tetsushi and Nina.

"Hi!" the two greet me, with a mumbled "hello" from Hiroki in the front passenger seat. I figured he was being laid back (and tired) as usual.

"So… um… How long will it take before Nina will start asking?" Nina questions, with a crooked sort of smile. I then notice her hair is in one braid, which she's never done. Maybe she wants to impress Hiroki.

Hiroki seems like he can't suppress a small smile. "At least 2 ½ hours."

Nina sighs, and fiddles around with her computer. Then, soon, she's on the internet on the little computer. Who knew that she could have done that?

I take out a book, a very interesting one at that.

I slowly blink and see fuzzy pictures of Nina and Tetsushi. Nina is moving her mouth and I hear my name.

Suddenly I jerk up, and gasp, "What happened? Where are we? Are we there yet?"

Tetsushi gets a kind smile on his face, while Nina laughs. "Ayu, you fell asleep on Nina's shoulder, and she pushed you back, and then I pushed you back, and well… let's just say you got in the middle of a fight. Literally. And we're at the Yokotama Lodge. Yes we are there, as I just said. Now get up before you fall asleep again, don't ruin your birthday!"

I blush an incredible scarlet and am helped up by Tetsushi. I notice my bags have been dragged out already, and my friends walk into the hotel, and I drag my suitcases in as quickly as possible.

I see my friends' suitcases on a roller already, and I place mine on, and catch up with them. "Umm… what room are we in?" I ask them.

"We have two rooms." Nina responds. "One for Yuta and Sayaka, and one very BIG room for Nina, Hiroki, you, and Tetsushi."

"How many beds are there?" I whisper, a slight blush coming to my face.

Nina hesitates, gives a smile, then says just as quietly, maybe a slight bit quieter, "Two beds. At least that is what it said when we ordered it. The others were too expensive. But we can order a cot… if you want."

Nina and I are lagging behind purposely so we can talk normally. "Do you mean," I hiss, "that I am supposed to sleep with my boyfriend? I am not a slut!"

"Nina is sorry," my best friend apologizes quickly, an intimidated look coming to her face. "but we should keep it a secret at the least!"

"Well, HERU yeah!" I growl loudly, causing a couple people to stare at me. "Sorry, sorry! Slipped out… yeah. Slipped out."

"Eee! Well, Nina is very sorry! But if it offers you anything, Nina will be a slut too!" the blonde-brown girl scuttles off, leaving me angry and… embarrassed.

"God, Nina, I hate it when you do that!" I growl, running to keep up with the others.

Nina slides in the key for the room, number 865. She turns the brass handle and pushes the door open.

"Ohh! It looks so cool in there!" I squeal, running in with Nina at my side.

"Yes, yes! It is!" Nina agrees in a high excited voice.

The room was basically an almost metal-less place. There were actually three beds- "Nina, you moron!" – and the other two were in another room to the side. In the room was a bunk bed, and a plastic small sign to the option of the room read, "The two beds may be stacked on top of each other. Please call the lobby if needing help. Thank you." The frames of the beds looked like they were made of glazed, polished, and sealed pinewood. The carpet was a pretty forest green, and the walls were a soothing cream. There was a desk in one corner of the room with a book of places, numbers, and other things, a large lamp, and what looked like something to hook up a laptop to the internet.

As for what may have been the fourth bed, it seemed like it was removed and replaced with a bathroom. The dresser contained a large television and drawers.

I open my mouth to call one of the separated bunk beds, but Nina chose that moment to scream, "NINA AND HIROKI CALL THE BUNK BED!"

I blush an even deeper scarlet than I was in the car, and when I timidly say, "Tetsushi, I guess we're sharing a bed" Tetsushi seems to blush very deeply too.

After a very humiliating pause, Tetsushi opens the binder with everything in it, and says, "Is anyone hungry?"

Nina nods vigorously, and Hiroki agrees, and I shrug and say, "I guess." (A/N: Iiick. I'm not feeling so good, and it make it worse thinking about food.)

Tetsushi reads off many places, and as soon as he reads off a Mexican restaurant, Nina and I say in unison, "We'd like to go there!" The evening before Nina and I had instant messaged each other making plans. Some of the plans had included going to foreign restaurants and learn how to ski.

"All right then. But we should settle in." Hiroki finally speaks up.

"But HirOKI!" Nina and I groan.

Everybody bursts into laughter.

Later… (A/N: 'Cause I don't like writing about food right now)

It's only three pm. Still.

The guys are having their fun time snowboarding, while I teach Nina how to ice skate.

"Look. First you have to lace up the boots and tie them on." I lace up my boots and tie them, and Nina copies my actions.

We slide onto the ice and I show Nina how to actually move on the ice. I push on the ice and slide a few meters.

"Try it. It's like rollerblading." I call.

"But I don't even KNOW how to rollerblade!" she wails.

I sigh. This would take awhile.

Umm, yeah. I kind of had a bit of a writer's block there. Anyone have any suggestions for the story? I need to bide my time until I can… hehehe…reveal the secret! –very ebil laugh-

Please review! (I need to do chores, that's why I left off like that)
