So sorry that I've been MIA for a while with this story. Would you believe that I got abducted? Yeah, I didn't think so. I just didn't know exactly what to do next, but never fear! Chapter 4 is here! Enjoy!

Chapter 4:

"Uh, Carmen! What are you doing her?"

"Oh, um, I saw this tray just sitting here." She brushed a strand of hair behind her abnormally small ear. "I figured I'd let the residents here know. And who are you? I didn't quite catch your name at the airport."

"Zoey."

Carmen handed Zoey the tray and asked, "Is Chase here?"

"Yes, come on in."

Zoey lead her down the hall and set the room service tray on the kitchen counter. "Hey, guys. Guess who's-"

She stopped mid-sentence when she noticed Chase and Logan in a tussle in front of the TV. It seemed like they were fighting over the remote. Guys!

"What happened?" Zoey asked Lola and Quinn who were sitting at the counter, watching the brawl.

"They got into a fight over weather to continue watching the football game or turn to some new comedy show that Chase wanted to watch," Lola explained while taking the lid of the food tray.

"Wow," Zoey said in an I'll-never-understand-guys tone.

"That's one way of putting it," Quinn sighed.

"Let me handle this," Zoey said, starting to walk over to the boys.

"Actually, if you don't mind, I think I can handle it more swiftly."

Zoey raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Be my guess."

Carmen walked around the couch and stopped right in front of the boys. Chase was now trying to make Logan eat carpet. It was rather hilarious, actually.

"Hey, Chase," Carmen said coyly.

Chase was just about to give Logan a Wet Willie when he looked up into Carmen's blue eyes. "Carmen? What are you doing here?"

"Breaking up a fight," she laughed breezily.

Chase stood and smiled. "I meant on this cruise ship."

"Vacation, the usual. You?"

"Logan's dad owns the ship," Chase responded.

"And is this Logan?" she asked, looking around Chase to see Logan coming to his feet.

"Yeah. And that's Zoey, Lola, and Quinn," Chase said while pointing to each girl.

After that, they both just stood there, staring at each other for the longest time. You could tell that they were in there own little world.

Finally, Logan reached his breaking point. "Can you guys say something," he said rudely.

"You could leave," Chase said, not removing his eyes from Carmen.

Logan rolled his eyes and muttered, "Freaks" as he left the room with his dinner.

Lola, 11:00pm

After dinner, Lola grabbed her diary and started writing.

Dear Diary,

I am loving this cruise, not to mention the boys on deck! But of course the boy I really want to be with barely pays attention to me. RL is such a jerk! Maybe I should start dropping unsubtle hints. I think I actually might do that.

Love,

Lol

Carmen and Chase, 11:05pm

"So thanks for letting me stay for dinner," Carmen said as they stood in front of her cabin.

"Thanks for joining us," Chase said smoothly…well, for him.

"Anytime." They were both practically glowing. Then, an awkward silence enveloped them. They had no idea what to do.

Then, Carmen stretched up the inch difference between the two and kissed Chase on the cheek. She smiled and slipped in to her room.

Even though it was the slightest of touch, it was enough to make Chase walk away with the goofiest grin.

Zoey, 11:05

Zoey grabbed a scrap piece of paper and started making a very important list.

21 Ways to Make Me Laugh Involving Carmen

1. Sneak into her cabin and draw on her face with red sharpie (hope she's a deep sleeper).

2. Blindfold her, tell her we're going to play break the piñata, then make her be the piñata.

3. Drop my dinner on her every night that she shows up.

4. Tell her I see a mermaid, then when she comes to look, push her overboard.

5. Tell her that Chase likes bald girls, then laugh when she finds out the truth a little too late.

6. Put a lit bag of dog crap at her door.

7. Set her up on a date with Logan.

8. Get Quinn to give her a freaky Quinnvention that shocks her every time she comes near Chase and she can't take it off.

9. Tell her Chase is gay then say that Logan is his boyfriend.

10. Tell Chase that she is gay then say that she asked me out.

11. Tie her to the front of the ship.

12. Send her a message saying that the Easter Bunny is stalking her.

13. Stalk her to get some dirt on her, and then if I get caught, say that Chase paid me to do it.

14. Tell her that Chase believes in aliens, and says that anyone that doesn't isn't good enough for him!

15. Promise to be her best friend then annoy the crap out of her!

16. Challenge her to a smoothie chugging contest but put hot sauce in her's.

17. Have Michael throw up on her.

18. Have Lola yell in her ear.

19. Feed her to the sharks.

20. Give her some fish then release 100 hungry pelicans on her.

21. Hit her in the head with a baseball bat.

Zoey reread her list. She didn't think that the last one was all that funny, but anything that made Carmen miserable would have made her happy at that moment. Zoey couldn't figure out why she was so angry with Carmen, but she was. Simple as that and out of the blue. It couldn't be jealousy…

Michael 11:30pm

Michael walked into the girl's bathroom, hoping to find something for his stomach. He felt like crap. The last time he could remember feeling this bad, he had just turned six. He ate a whole bunch of candy, cake, and ice cream and was sick for weeks. It was just like being six again.

He found some Tums in the medicine cabinet and chewed one of the pink ones. Michael hoped desperately that he would feel better soon as he sulked back to his room.

Quinn and Logan 11:45pm

Logan knocked wildly on Quinn's door. "Quinn! Open up! Quick, before the others see," he whisper-yelled.

Quinn flung her door open. "I'm still mad at you."

"For what?"

"The whole 'Man, she's hot. Nice but, too' thing," Quinn confirmed, doing a bad imitation of him.

Logan looked up and down the hall then grabbed Quinn's arm and stepped into her room. She started to protest, but Logan interrupted her. "I only pretended to be interested in Carmen when we were at the airport because that was what the old, single Logan would have done. Would you rather they know that we're dating?" He nodded toward the closed door, obviously talking about their friends.

She didn't say anything, and Logan took the chance to apologize. Quinn smiled appreciatively and forgave him. He kissed her then, slow and tender. Then, the kisses progressed, and the next thing they knew they were making out on Quinn's bed. Ten minutes later, Logan and Quinn were talking. They talked for hours, and at three o'clock, they both fell asleep. Right there. On Quinn's Bed. Where anyone could find them in the morning.

What'd ya think? Let me know. I will update as soon as I can on the next one, and I know that I said that last time, but I'll try harder this time, as long as I get enough reviews! And if I do take a while, don't be mad, stay patient :]!
