Going All The Way: Summer Vacation!
A/N: Hello one and all! The last chapter had a bit of fluffiness and this chapter, you guessed it, also has a lot o' fluff and fun! But first, some review replies!
nightmare car: I'm sorry that Jack hasn't been in the past two chapters, but he is a major character, basically. He'll come back very soon. No need to worry yourself. Also, thanks for the review!
Catwarrior: Yes, they do need to swallow their pride and just go out already, but it's not in them to do that. Don't worry...it may happen...
Drackial: That's how a lot of people catagorize the couples. Diana and Bastion; adorable. Zane and Zeta; cool. Chazz and Tasara; entertaining. "I can explain" is such a classic I just had to have Chazz say it.
.: Chapter 10 :.
They were walking over to the Ferris wheel, having to make a few stops because Jaden either wanted cotton candy or a soda. They had about ten minutes before the fireworks and decided to just hang around the Ferris wheel area until it was time. Fallon was then called over by one of her friends.
"Fallon, come on! You said you would watch the fireworks with us, remember!" he friend called. Fallon nodded and looked over at Jaden.
"Thanks for going on the tunnel of love with me," she smiled. He smiled back.
"No problem," Jaden said. As Fallon walked away she called back;
"J'aime que toi!" Jaden gave his friends a puzzling look.
"Okay, what the hell did she just say?" Chazz asked, his hands in his pocket. Zeta thought for a moment and tried to remember what she had learned in French class at her old school before coming to duel academy. She looked over at Tasara and Diana, knowing that asking them would be pointless. Diana took Latin and Tasara decided to take German. She thought again and then grinned.
"I know what she said," Zeta said, her grin still in place.
"What does it mean then?" Zane asked. She whispered it into his ear and he smiled a little.
"Isn't that cute?" Zeta asked her boyfriend. He nodded and held her hand. Jaden gave Zeta a look that screamed, 'I wanna know what it means now!'. Zeta smiled knowing that Jaden was oblivious to the fact that Fallon had a crush on him. What she said meant 'I love you' in French. She smiled at this even though it was a little sad that he couldn't get the message.
After a while if talking, they were finally on the Ferris wheel and looking up at the sky, waiting for the fireworks to go off. Zane had his arm on Zeta's shoulders and her head rested on his shoulder. To start small talk between them, Zeta asked;
"Zane, why didn't you tell me that you liked me a long time ago?" Zane looked at her.
"Well, I was just a little...embarrassed. What if I was to tell you, but you didn't like me?"
"I would have thought that was really cute."
"You would have?"
"Of course, I would have! But, when I first met you, you seemed a little to stuffy and strict, but now that I know you I like you a lot. It just took some time to get past your serious face and see what was under that."
"I guess...When I first saw you, I thought you were a very hyper active girl who acted her shoe size rather than her age. I was proven wrong."
"I'll say," Zeta stated. They decided to change the subject shortly after that.

Diana and Bastion sat close. Diana still felt a little chilly even with the jacket on, so Bastion held her in a loose hug to help her stay warm. They had started a few small conversations which quickly died out. They could hear Chazz and Tasara argue with each other, but that eventually died out as well, but it would start up again and continue in that cycle.
Bastion was about to say something, but then chocked on his words. He didn't say anything. The same happened to Diana and she stayed quiet as well. Sitting in silence wasn't really working out for the two of them and Bastion eventually let go of Diana and sat back. Diana turned her head and looked over at the ship. Since they were so high up she could see it clearly. For some reason the ship looked very interesting at the moment. She took her hair out of the loose bun it was in and placed the hair band around her wrist. She then crossed her arms and remained silent.
"Okay, Bastion, pull yourself together..." he thought. "Out of everything you can do, duel, crack passwords, figure out the hardest equations; you can't talk to a girl! Come on, pull yourself together and ask her out on a date. Maybe we could go to one of the small restaurants on the ship or something...hmm...it's worth a shot. Okay, here I go." He cleared his throat and tapped Diana on the shoulder.
"Diana?" he asked. She faced him and smiled pleasantly. He felt his words get caught in his throat again, but was able to quickly recover.
"Yeah?" she asked. He rubbed the back of his neck and started to blush a little. Diana noticed this and she kept on smiling.
"I was wondering if you would be interested in-"
"Isn't this great!" someone asked from behind Diana.
"Ah!" Diana shouted. She then gave Bastion a hug and her heart was racing. "Who was that?"
"So much for asking her out..why is it when someone wants to ask another person out something happens?" Bastion thought. He looked over and saw Jack. "How did you get all the way up here?"
"I have these cool boots that I can use to fly like Peter Pan, my friends!" Jack said and then laughed manically. "They are sooooooo cool! COOL I TELL YOU! You wanna try? I KNOW YOU DO! DIANA COME ON DOWN! YOU ARE THE FIRST CONTESTANT!"
"I'd rather not," Diana said, now calm. She let go of Bastion and sat back as Jack hovered in front of them. "Who knows what will happen once I put those on. Besides, I want to stay here." Jack looked over at Bastion and laughed again.
"Did I interrupt something?" Jack chuckled, narrowing his eyes at Bastion.
"No," Bastion quickly said. "Nothing at all. Now, can you move? The fireworks are about to go off and you are blocking our view."
"Right...I'll leave you both alone...right here...very high up...alone...with each other..." Jack then flew off to get his own view of the fireworks from higher up.
"So...what were you going at ask me?" Diana asked. Bastion swallowed the lump in his throat.
"It can wait," he said. "It's not that important." He knew very well it was important, but he didn't want it to weigh on Diana's mind. She nodded and they both looked up at the sky as the fire works went off.

"I hate fireworks..." Chazz hissed, his arms crossed.
"You could have gone with Jaden and Sy," Tasara said, anger in her voice. She was still very upset with the whole Tunnel of Love accident.
"I am NOT hanging out with those two at the arcade place. Who knows what they will try to pull with me being the only one there. I can't control the both of them!" Chazz shouted.
"Like I care," Tasara hissed.
"You're still mad at me, right?"
"Damn straight."
"It wasn't my fault! Something tipped the boat and I fell over!"
"Well, you shouldn't have stood up on the boat in the first place!"
"I didn't mean to!"
"You are such a liar and a pervert!"
"Well, if it was intensional, which it wasn't, I would have to say that I missed my target big time!"
"Missed? What the hell do you mean by-!" She couldn't finish her sentence before Chazz's lips met hers. She eventually, after the shock wore away, melted into it.
"I guess I can forgive him...this time."
A/N: Fluff and much more was in here! But next time in chapter 11:
Tension rises between Tasara and Chazz as Jackie makes her final stand before having to leave duel academy for good. What does she have planned? Whatever it is, it will crush Tasara and might even destroy their relationship.
PLEASE REVIEW!
