Yes, I know! It's been weeks since I last posted anything but it was exams. And now I've got a project to do that I haven't even started yet. Also, it might be a while till I post chapter two up considering the fact that I have to prepare for my project, prepare for this thing at school and I haven't started anything on chapter two yet.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed my other fics, especially the ones that reviewed for each chapter. You don't know how much it means to me.

The Parent Trap
Prologue
L, is for the way you look at me
The sky was dark purple with hints of dark blue.
O, is for the only one I see
The deep blue sea was calm, the only ripples came from the large ship heading towards England.
V, is very very extraordinary
The ship was grand and beautiful.
E, is even more than anyone that you adore can
As the sky darkened to pitch black, fireworks could be seen.
Love, is all that I can give to you
A man held out his hand and a woman took it as they stood in front of someone holding a book.
Love, is more than just a game for two
Candles are lit on a table set for two.
Two in love can make it
The man offered his arm to the lady and they went through a door. Confetti was thrown at them.
Take my heart and please don't break it
The two stood in each other's arms out on the deck while fireworks exploded around them.
Love, was made for me and you
The woman rested her head on the man's shoulder as he rested his head on the woman's head.
Love, is all that I can give to you
They slowly pulled a part when a waiter came with wine.
Love, is more than just a game for two
He showed them the label: ………….
Two in love can make it
The red liquid is poured into two glasses.
Take my heart and please don't break it
The couple stood up to dance.
Love, was made for me and you
The sea is still beautiful at night-time.
L, is for the way you look at me
The indigo haired man twirled the woman round and round.
They finally stopped and the lady fell into the man's arms, her dark purple hair covered her face.
O, is for the only one I see
The lovebirds were once again in the same position as before as they say down.
V, is very very extraordinary
The woman's head rested on the man's shoulder.
E, is even more than anyone that you adore can
The man hugged the woman closer.
Love, is all that I can give to you
A blond woman came over with a large camera, "Would you like a souvenir picture?"
Love, is more than just a game for two
They both nodded.
Two in love can make it
"Can you turn towards each other please?" the blond asked as she got ready to take the picture.
Take my heart and please don't break it

The Parent Trap
Chapter 1
A line of buses drove through the gate of Camp Walden in Somerset. All the leaders, captains and the camp director waved as the girls passed. The transports parked up and the girls filed out.
"Come on, hurry up."
"Okay, okay…"
---
"My God, my phone is just not working."
"Oh My God, how are we ever going to live?"
---
"Alright, pass me the next one…thank you!"
"Oh, here she comes. Excuse me but do you know where the Nightingale Cabin is?"
"Yeah, it's right over there."
"Thanks."
---
"Oh, my bag is so heavy."
---
"Good afternoon ladies and welcome to Camp Walden. My name is Maggie and I'm your Camp Director. Now girls, lets find our duffels as quickly as we can, we have a big first day at campus. I'm going to turn the megaphone over now to my best friend and right hand man, Ruby. Ruby, bunk assignments if you please!" Ruby blew her whistle. "Alright ladies, here we go…"
---
"Wait a second, I thought this was a boys' camp," a brown haired boy said to one of the leaders.
"Boys?" a group of girls giggled.
/\/--\/\
Hiiragizawa's POV
A large, yellow duffel was dumped into a heap of many other duffels. I jumped up as I recognised it as mine. "Okay, found my duffel," I said smiling, relieved that it had not accidentally fallen out of the bus. This was my first year at Camp Walden and I am really nervous. At least one good thing seemed to have happened so far today and that was finding my duffel. But as soon as I said that, many more duffels were then thrown on top of it. I took my sunglasses off and placed it on top of my head lightly, trying to calm my annoyance. "Now the question is," I muttered to myself as I walked around the pile, "How do I get it out?" Bending down and I seized the handle, tugging at it. "Okay, I can do it…" I encouraged myself. I soon gave up on that, it never worked, "Okay, no I can't,"
"You must be new," I heard someone say next to me.
"How could you tell?" I replied, still trying to release my innocent duffel out under the others.
"You didn't know how to grab your duffel, before the Age toss it into the heap," a girl with short brown hair and brown eyes with glasses balancing on her nose replied. "I would say, you need some serious help."
"Thanks, it's the big yellow one." It was great to finally get some help. I had been so lonely getting to this camp. I thought that I would not make any friends at all. Apparently I was wrong. The two of us pulled at the bag in vain when another brown haired girl, wearing a white T-shirt with 'Angel' written in silver glitter on it walked towards the pile. We saw her perfectly as she was opposite us. The girl took the handle of a duffel near the bottom, lifted it up without any effort and started to walk away. The pair of us stopped tugging. "Whao," I said, how could anyone do that? "Now that's my kind of women."
"Yo, Angel girl!" my new friend shouted.
Angel girl swirled round, "Hm?" and walked over to us.
"Could you give me a hand with my duffel?" I asked hesitantly, not sure will she help. She towered over the two of us and seemed strong enough to break our backs yet somehow long sweet and innocent, freaky. "It's the big yellow one, buried way in there."
"Sure," Angel girl said, dropping her own duffel and taking hold of the handle. In two hard tugs, she was able to pull my duffel out, amazing. "Hey, you live in Lake District?" Angel girl asked me suddenly. I did not know how to react so I just nodded. "Is it, like, nice there?" continued Angel girl.
"Yeah," I replied, I loved my home. "We live next to a vin-yead."
"A what-yeard?" Angel girl and short brown hair girl both looked confused.
"A vineyard," I quickly covered up. "It's where you group grapes to make wine. That's what we do, me and my dad, we own a vineyard." A look of understanding passed over the other girls' faces. It was partly true, we did live next to a vineyard but we also live next to a vin-yead, which is, very basically, a space that contains magic.
Out of nowhere, we all heard Ruby's booming voice, "Hiiragizawa, Haylie!"
"Here!" I quickly shouted, holding my hand high to show where I was.
"Magpie!" I did not think that she needed to use the megaphone, her voice was loud enough without it.
"That's were I am," my first friend of this camp stated.
"Same here," my second friend of this camp said at the same time.
"Yes," I high-five with the one with glasses as the three of us walked off.
"So, uh, do any of you know how to play poker?" I asked, I was itching for a game.
"Nah, never played it before," the other two replied.
"No? That's a shame," oh well, there are always the rest of the campers. "So, uh, how many…" a limousine hooted behind us. My question flew out of my head.
"Whoa, who is in there?" I wondered aloud, amazed at the size of the car.
"Come on, Magpies, lets get to our cabin," the brown haired girl walked towards their little hut.
/\/--\/\
Nikki's POV
I walked along the gravel path towards the Magpie cabin. I had never been there before. The only cabin I had not slept in, that and the isolation cabin. I'm sent here every year. My family thinks I should have some involvement with the outside world. My whole family has magic, every single one of us. Because we have magic we are all home tutored and rarely meet anyone outside our safe and secure circle of relatives. It's rather annoying, seeing as I don't have anyone to talk to. No one that has different life to mine or hear their complaints and support them.
I continued walking, pushing away the lonesome feeling gnawing away at my heart. There was a pile of duffels up ahead, only newbies ever leave their duffels for the leaders, or the Age as we call it here, to dump it in a pile. There was a girl with dark purple hair there, wrestling with the pile of duffels, willing them to free her one. Feeling strangely generous, I decided to help her. "You must be new," I said after lowering my own duffel on the pile
"How could you tell?" the girl said, still trying to release her duffel out under the others. I noticed that she had very bright sapphire eyes, so bright I almost had to look away.
"You didn't know how to grab your duffel, before the Age toss it into the heap," I replied. "I would say, you need some serious help."
"Thanks," she sighed, finally letting go of the handle to rest a bit, "It's the big yellow one." We both took hold of the handle and tugged at it hard, it was no use. Then again I've never been strong. I almost considered using magic until I remembered that my purple haired friend would see. I told you that my family is isolated.
After a few moment of struggle we stopped. At that moment a girl with red-brown hair, wearing a white T-shirt with 'Angel' written in golden glitter on it, went to the other side of the group of duffels and took the handle of one near the bottom. She lifted it out with surprising strength because she looked more of a gentle girl, have I mentioned that my family is rather isolated so I have had no real practise whatsoever of other people's expression. Sure I can read every member of my family just fine, but anyone outside it, I'm clueless. 'Angel' girl started to walk away and we both stood up.
"Whao," my friend said, "Now that's my kind of women."
"Yo, Angel girl!" I shouted, there is no way the two of us will be able to get the duffel out, we needed outside help. Angel girl swirled round, "Hm?" and walked over to us. "Could you give me a hand with my duffel?" the clueless new girl asked. "It's the big yellow one, buried way in there."
"Sure," Angel girl said, dropping her own duffel and taking hold of the handle. In two hard tugs, she was able to pull the sunglasses girl's duffel out, amazing. "Hey, you live in Lake District?" Angel girl asked, my friend nodded. I also turned over to her, Lake District is apparently a beautiful place although I've never been there. There's a rumour that the half reincarnation of Clow Reed lives there. "Is it, like, nice there?" continued the Angel person. I suddenly remembered who she was, the karate champion at camp. She came last year but we have not properly met yet. I think her name is…..Rebecca? Rinni? Rita? Something like that, I'm not that good with names. But I do remember that she was born in Japan, moved to America, then to Thailand, then finally settled in England.
"Yeah, we live next to a vineyard," replied the purple haired girl.
"A what-yeard?" Rebecca/Rinni/Rita and I said at the same time, looking confused. I could not help but thinking that she had said a vin-yead. That's an area where there is strong magic and I should know, I live on one.
"A vineyard, it's where you group grapes to make wine. That's what we do, me and my dad, we own a vineyard." A look of understanding passed over our faces, well relieve and disappointment on mine. I was getting a little too excited at the fact that someone at this camp knows magic. Suddenly, Ruby(the coolest Age) shouted, "Hiiragizawa, Haylie!"
"Here!" the sunglasses girl shouted, holding her hand high to show where she is.
"Magpie"
"That's where I am," I stated.
"Same here," Angel girl said at the same time, we really have to stop doing that. People would think we are twins or something, not that we look alike.
"Yes," Haylie and I high-five as the three of us walked off.
"So, uh, do any of you know how to play poker?" Haylie asked.
"Nah, never played it before," we replied, okay, it's really scaring me now.
"No? That's a shame. So, uh, how many…" a hooting noise behind us interuppted Haylie.
"Whoa, who is in there?" she wondered, amazed at the size of the car. I was not so impressed.
"Come on, Magpies, lets get to our cabin," I said, leading the way to our little hut.
/\/--\/\
Rika's POV
This is so annoying! My supposed 'friends' had just dumped me for this new rich girl. Apparently I 'flirted' with teachers and am too aggressive which also 'clash' with my appearance. Just because I do Karate and don't wear slutty clothes does not mean I'm aggressive. And what did they mean by my appearance, sure people have said that I could look innocent if I wanted to but that wasn't my fault! Fortunately, I can make new friends in this camp even if it is my second year already. My duffel was right at the bottom, again. This happened last year. Still, it's not really a problem for me. I took my duffel and placed it onto my shoulder. Out of the corners of my eyes, I saw two campers staring at me in shock. I fought to keep my smile in, sometimes, I love it when I'm the centre of attention.
As I walked away I heard someone yelled, "Yo, Angel girl!" I turned around, perfectly aware that my T-shirt said 'Angel' on it. It was the girls at the duffel collection, the one with glasses. I know I've seen her before but I can't really remember her name or have I even spoken to her. Yeah I know, I'm rather forgetful. There was nothing to do, packing doesn't take that much time and I'm looking for new friends anyway.
"Could you give me a hand with my duffel?" the girl with the purple hair asked the moment I was still. "It's the big yellow one, buried way in there."
"Sure," I said, trying to sound nonchalant. I dropped my own duffel and took hold of the handle of hers. In two hard tugs, I managed to pull it out. As I hauled it over to the owner I noticed the location written on it. "Hey, you live in Lake District?" I asked, I've been there once, well, pass it. I loved it, it was amazing. Everywhere you turn the view was picturesque. The purple hair girl nodded. "Is it, like, nice there?" I questioned.
"Yeah, we live next to a vineyard."
"A what-yeard?" the other girl and I looked confused.
"A vineyard, it's where you group grapes to make wine. That's what we do, me and my dad, we own a vineyard." Okay, now I know what a vineyard is, the only problem is remembering it. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Hiiragizawa, Haylie!"
"Here!" the sunglasses girl shouted, holding her hand high to show where she is. She even stepped onto some of the duffels to make sure she could be seen. I hope that there weren't anything fragile in those bags.
"Magpie," Ruby shouted.
"That's were I am," the girl next to me said.
"Same here," I spoke at the same time, what a coincident.
"Yes," Haylie high-five with brown haired girl as the three of them walked off.
"So, uh, do any of you know how to play poker?" Haylie asked.
"Nah, never played it before," the other girl and I replied together once again, this was cool.
"No? That's a shame. So, uh, how many…" a limousine hooted behind us.
"Whoa, who is in there?" Haylie wondered, amazed at the size of the car. I was equally stunned.
"Come on, Magpies, lets get to our cabin," the brown haired girl quickly walked off. She did not seem to be impressed by a limousine, she's probably really rich or something. Ha, right back at ya ex-friends, I can have a friend who's rich too.
/\/--\/\
The limousine parked next to the dinning hall, girls stared then headed to the cabins, muttering between themselves. A tall man in black suit with black hair to match got out of through the back door. He was followed by a young girl of 11 years of age. She wore high heels and was in a checked skirt suit. Her long hair was half tied up, twisting at the sides, a head band was on top of her head. Stepping out, she looked around with her sapphire eyes. "Well, here we are," the man said.
"It's rather picturesque, don't you think?" the young lady asked.
"Yes, shall we review your mother's list?" The girl nodded, so he continued. "Right, vitamins?"
/\/--\/\
Ami's POV
I was here, I was finally here. My first ever summer camp. I'll be staying here for quite a while. All alone with my friends, if I find any. No family to help protect me. No butler to do my chores for me, complete independence.
Zack started to read my mother's checklist though we've already went through it at least five times. Better safe than sorry I guess.
"Check," I affirmed the first thing Martin said.
"Minerals?" was what he asked next.
"Check."
"List of daily fruits and vegetables?"
"Check, check," I said, without missing a beat. Zack looked confusedly at me and I giggled. It was funny to get him confused. For all the lies, I mean stories, he tells I'm surprised that he can be mixed up so easily.
"Check for fruits, check for vegetables, go on," I announced and put his mind at rest.
"Ah," he said in understanding then went back to the list. "Sun block, lip balm, insect repellent, stationery, stamps, photos of your mother, grandmother and of course your trusty butler, me."
"That is all I think," I smiled, excitement barely contained.
"Oh, and here's something from your grandmother," he said, taking something out of his pocket. "A brand new set of cards. Maybe you'll find someone in this continent who can actually beat you in poker."
"Well I doubt it but thanks, and thanks for bringing me here, Zachary."
My butler had a sad look on his face and informed me, his adolescent mistress as he always calls me, "Now, you remember, if you change your mind and want me to come here to pick you up at the end of camp, I'm only a phone call away," he said, his hands holding mine. Really, I'm only going to be gone a few weeks and he's already getting emotional? I wonder what he would do if I decide to go abroad for University.
"Thanks but I'll be fine. Really!" I reassured him. "See you in a few weeks, Zachary!"
"Missing you already, queen of my heart," was his response, where does he gets his words? Zachary held out his hand while I took it, after shaking it we both smiled knowingly and it turned into a complicated hand shake of taking and letting go of each other's hand, turning in a circle and walking until we are in the other's place. There, we shook one last time. I love our secret handshake.
"Have fun, Ami," Zachary said, getting back into the limousine but not before waving, "Sayonara!"
"Sayonara!" I, Ami Daidouji, waved back as the limousine drove away.
/\/--\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/\/--\/\
Girls ran into the dining hall at lunchtime on that first day of campus. Everyone has just unpacked and were all looking forward to the summer. Some were sitting down on the long wooden benches while others were queuing up along the food bar to take their food. Whispers were passed around the table where Shaolan sat.
Shaolan's POV
I screamed into the phone I was holding next to my ears. "Fuutie, Shiefa, Faren, Feimei, are you there? Pick up! COME ON!" Why, what have I done wrong? I was stuck in a camp with girls, girls and GIRLS! To get me to socialise is one thing, but do they honestly want me to think about marriage at this age? Maybe I shouldn't have thought of that. Damn, I'm going to be really worrying myself now. A girl smiled at me as she sat down on my left. I couldn't help but think that she had the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, such a lovely shade of green. But I was getting distracted, back to the problem at hand. "Someone pick up now or I am seriously going to hurt someone when I come back. I don't care how much I have to practise to beat all four of you but believe me I will and you are going to regret ever sending me to this camp…" I continued to mutter death threats to my family onto the machine, no one picked up. Damn!
/\/--\/\
Ami and her friends were walking along from one side while Haylie and her friends moved from the other side. The two groups, who have yet to meet, both laughed at a bowl of funny red things in it but placed it on their trays anyway, their similarity were unknown to them. Little would they expect that this summer camp will be the one they will forever remember.
Sakura's POV
"I'll save you a seat Ami," I said, taking my tray and walking away.
"Okay, thanks, Sakura," my friend replied, she was still edging along the bar. Guess she was really hungry. There were three seats free around a boy, funny, I thought this was a girl's camp. I smiled to him anyway as I sat down. He didn't seem to see me, probably too busy growling obscurities into phone he was holding. Wonder who he's taking to, I didn't even bring a phone with me. It's only a few weeks afterall, my family will be find with letters. I reached out for my drink, big mistake. Why? Because my arm knocked over the salt shaker which then knocked over the pepper shaker which then knocked over the drink of the guy next to me. That then proceeded to pour over him making him jump up and curse loudly…oops.
/\/--\/\
Haylie's friend has also left to sit down. They were now next to each other, moving ever closer. They both reached for a roll behind the giant bowl of strawberries just as Maggie stepped in between them. "Excuse me girls but I just got to have a scoop of these gorgeous strawberries," she said, spooning some into a bowl. "Would you care for some, dear?" she turned to Haylie.
"Oh, no thanks, can't…I'm, I'm allergic."
"Oh that's a shame," she said, then turned to Ami, "How about you dear? Strawberries."
"Oh sorry, wish I could but I can't, I'm, I'm allergic."
"Yes, I know, you just…" Maggie turned back to her left then to Ami again, a bewildered look on her face, "told me that…how did you get over there?" Maggie laughed, "Oh, well, first day of camp you have to excuse the old girl." Ami nodded, pretending she knew what Maggie was talking about. As soon as Maggie turned her head to the food for a second, she took her tray and walked away. "At least I'm not putting salt in the sugar shakers," Maggie kept talking, not realising that Ami has walked away. "Well, I mean, sugar in the salt shakers." She looked up to see that Ami has disappeared. "Now where did she go?" she wondered to herself.
/\/--\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/\/--\/\
Sounds of metal against metal could be heard, then a thud as a girl fell onto the grassy floor and took of her fencing helmet. "Fantastic!" someone complimented Haylie who has just took her helmet off. She helped the girl up, "Good job," she slapped her shoulder when she walked back to the bench to take off her gear.
"Alright, excellent kid," Ruby congratulated, holding Haylie's hand high up in the air. "The winner is the undefeated champ from Lake Districts, Miss Haylie Hiiragizawa!" People on the stand cheered and Haylie grinned. "Do we have any challengers?" No one replied, "Oh come on, ladies. Let's not be damsels in distress here."
Meiling's POV
We walked towards the fencing grounds, Ami Sakura and I. We were laughing, technically they were laughing at something I said. We all caught the last part to Ruby's sentence and Ami thought she might have a go. "I'll take a whack at it," she said, tennis racket in her hands. It was then that I saw the CUTEST boy on the stand, staring at us. I badly wanted to ask him out, but then he waved to Sakura, who waved back. He was taken, pity, I decided to turn my attention back to Ami.
"Okay, we have ourselves a challenger…" Ruby wrote down Ami's name. Ami put on the appropriate gear and turn round, her helmet under one arm. She smile confidently, settled her helmet on to her head as this other girl faced her, after chatting with her friends on the bench. She too had her fencing helmet on, therefore, neither of them saw the other's face. Both with their fencing helmet in front of them. "On guard!" Ruby shouted, "Fence!" The two started fencing with lunges, basic parries, reposts, octaves, binds, counter-reposts, circle parries and many many more. They slowly moved away from the fencing square and towards the outdoor cafeteria. Sakura and I barely got out of the way!
'She's good,' I thought as Ami leaped over some haystacks, her opponent in hot pursuit. Leaning against them, she placed her free hand in front of her mouth and pretended to yawn. Okay, isn't that a little too confident? Ami had better watch herself, her rival is not an amateur either.
/\/--\/\
'Think this is boring, huh? Well you won't have that attitude when I win, sister. I'm gonna show you exactly how good I am,' Haylie thought to herself. With a flick of her hand, her opponent's weapon flew to the air but she quickly recovered by jumping on to one of the haystacks, catching it. The audience, who had followed them, cheered. The duo was now at the edge of the outdoor cafeteria, one gab in the chest from Ami ended the fight. Fortunately, Haylie was wearing the right clothing, protecting her from the gab. Unfortunately, she was pushed over the edge of the cafeteria and into the horse trough, which was filled with water. SPLASH!
"Oh, let me help you," Ami said, offering her hand while girls around them giggled.
"No, let me help you," Haylie growled, taking the hand and pulling Ami down next to her, into the water. The girls laughed harder, Haylie's two friends high fived.
"Okay! That was quite a show. I think we got ourselves a new camp champ. Miss Ami Daidouji from Tomoeda Japan!" The spectators clapped, some cheered and whooped. Ami and Haylie stood up, back towards each other, got out of the horse trough and took of their helmets. "Alright girls shake hands," Ruby said. A hush fell on everyone, Haylie and Ami sighed but refused. "Come on, girls," Ruby urged. Sighing another time they turned to face each other. Gasps were heard as Ami's eyes widen and Haylie's jaw dropped. They shook hands and quickly looked away.
After a while, Haylie seemed to have recovered.
"Why's everyone staring?" she asked. Her two friends walked up behind her, as did Ami's.
"Don't you see it?" Ami questioned, surprised.
"See what?" Haylie frowned.
"The resemblance between us."
Haylie chuckled, "Resemblance? Between you and me?" Ami nodded a yes. "Let me see," Haylie continued, "Turn sideways." Ami obliged. "Now the other way," Haylie said. Ami did as she was told. "Well, you eyes are a bit closer together than mine," she said. Ami turned, face betraying her shock at such rudeness. "Your ears…don't worry, you'll grow into them," Haylie's cabin mates laughed. "Your teeth are a little crooked," Ami ran her tongue over her teeth. "Ugh and that nose!" Ami's hand flew to her nose. "Don't worry dear, those things can be fixed," reassured Haylie, sarcastically.
Meiling stepped forward, "Want me to beat her up for you?" she asked, fists raised at the ready.
"Hold on, I'm not quite finished yet," Haylie said as Ami smiled a thanks to her recently found friend. "You want to know the real difference between us?"
"I know how to fence and you don't?" Ami answered Haylie's question with one of her own. "Or I have class and you don't? Take you pick."
Haylie advanced forward, "Why I outta…" Ami also moved, not at all phrased by Haylie's angry face, she had one of her own.
"Okay, I think it's time we break up this little love feast," Ruby interrupted, "Haylie, Ami…I-I mean, Ami, Haylie…I-I mean…whao…"
To Be Continued……
