The resort was nothing like I had ever seen. Well, on second thought, the resort was very similar to Kalahari with minor differences. For example, Kalahari had an African theme for its hotel slash indoor waterpark while this resort had a more tropical theme. While both had the same amount of water rides and activities, the resort was less crowded (probably because we were the only ones there) and had a whole other part of the park that was strictly wildlife. The six guys had stared at us, no doubt expecting our reactions to be bewilderment.
"What? We've been to places like this before." I mentioned while Morgan shrugged her shoulders.
"Although I must admit the tropical scenery is so pretty! Look at the palm trees!" Morgan paused for a second. "Are those real?"
"Yes, our family strives for authenticity." Kyoya explained with pride although you could also catch a hint of distaste.
Since everyone was already ready to swim, everyone headed towards the pool. Hunny and Mori were the brave ones and jumped right in, bracing the more than likely cold water. Haruhi was sitting on the edge letting her feet kick back and forth in the water. Kyoya sat comfortably in a lawn chair with his laptop, the always faithful, constant companion, but admittedly while wearing swim trunks he looks more relaxed. I looked over at all the waterslides, all of them silently calling out to me. The tallest one was the one I decided Morgan and I would try out, but before I got a chance to mention it to her, I was picked up and hauled over someone's shoulder. I glanced up and behind me catching a glimpse of auburn hair.
"Hikaru you better not be…"I didn't get a chance to finish my sentence before he let go and my back met the water with a smack. It didn't hurt but it did come as a shock, I won't lie. When I came up for air, I playfully glared at him.
"Hikaru you are going down. Just wait. I will have my revenge."
At first, I tried to run towards the edge to pull myself out but it seemed as if I wasn't getting anywhere so I decided to swim which definitely worked out better. As soon as I got to the edge, I hoisted myself up and ran at Hikaru. I know you're not supposed to run on wet surfaces for you could slip, but that was not my main concern. I continued to chase him until he was close to the pools edge. I tackled him and we both went tumbling over.
"Ha I win!" I exclaimed before swimming back over to the edge where Morgan was sitting with Haruhi.
"Hey let's go on a waterslide." I stated.
"Okay which one?" She asked. I pointed to the extremely tall one that swirled about three times horizontally then zigzagged the rest of the way down. Morgan looked at the waterslide warily and pursed her lips.
"Yea if I die it's your fault."
"Sweet! Let's go!" I hopped out of the pool and walked over to Kyoya.
"Hey Kyoya, do you have any tubes to use to go down the waterslides?"
"Yes. They're by the waterslides in a shed. I'll have to go get them for it's locked up when customers aren't here." He got up and guided us over to the waterslides. The shed wasn't really a shed. It was more like a room dedicated strictly to tubes. They had one person tubes, two people tubes, family sized(but that normally means four to five people), tubes that were small, tubes that were large and all of them brightly colored yellow with the resorts logo in green.
"Pick whatever one you like." He stated, gesturing with his arm. I just grabbed one of the two people ones and walked out.
"Are you sure about this?" Morgan asked with a slight quiver in her throat.
"Positive let's go. It's even better because there are no lines!" I went to race up the stairs but then realized it'd probably be better if I made sure Morgan was in front of me just in case she tried to make a break for it. It took about three minutes to get up the stairs and I was glad I would never have to see this place when it was actually busy. Then again this resort was mostly for rich families. I wonder how many actually throw image to the wind and slide on a waterslide. As soon as we got to the top, I had to admit I was a bit nervous because of how high we were up and I was not a big fan of heights. I glanced over and saw Morgan inching towards the stairs.
"Hey no! We are up here so we are going down this waterslide." I set the tube down in the rushes water that would shoot us off. Once we were both seated, we pushed off and down we went. At first the slide was just half of a tube before it became enclosed. Luckily the slide was yellow so the tube wasn't extremely dark. We could feel when we reached the horizontal tunnels, but what happened next was something that neither of us would have wished happened.
~_~_~_~_~_~_~Morgan's Pov~_~_~_~_~_~_~
I knew this slide was a bad idea, but I let Alyssa talk me into it anyway. All was going well until we got to the horizontal tunnels. All of the sudden, the tube stopped moving.
"Why'd we stop? Why'd the tube stop? Oh my gosh we're stuck." I began to panic and fear soon was gripping me.
"Okay let's not panic…let's not panic. The walls are closing in. Oh my gosh we're stuck."
Did I mention that we're both claustrophobic? This was not good. We began to take deep breaths to calm ourselves and prevent ourselves from hyperventilation.
"Okay…is the water still running?" Alyssa asked. I reached down to see if the water was running. The tunnel felt wet but there was definitely no water flow.
"No there's no water."
"Well either we sit here or we climb out. I say climb out because there is no way I can just sit here." She suggested while scooting herself out of the tube. I nodded going along with it because quite frankly I wasn't going to stay here by myself.
"So are we gonna climb up or down?" I asked.
"You decide. Either we climb down and be in an enclosed space the whole time, knowing for a fact that at least we won't fall, or we climb up and at least not be enclosed in." I thought over Alyssa's options. Although the thought of falling was quite a frightening one, being enclosed seemed worse.
"I say let's go up." She nodded and I let her take the lead. Climbing back up wasn't too bad until Alyssa lost her footing thanks to the slippery surface which knocked her into me which caused us both to slip. About five minutes of crawling we finally got to the opening of the slide. We dared not look over the edge and just continuously crawled until we were safely on the deck.
"Thank the lord! Freedom!"
I just stared at her in disbelief before stating, "I will never go on another waterslide again."

~_~_~_~_~_~_~Morgan's Pov~_~_~_~_~_~_~
We were packing our bags so we could leave for the airport and be there by 4:30 AM Saturday morning. We decided to take our two weeks vacation now because for one it'll be during Ouran's summer break and it's been almost a year since we saw our friends and family. We didn't tell the host club though. We didn't want them to come to America. Don't get me wrong, I love the host club, but we just need some time away from them. Besides, we weren't going away forever. It was just two weeks; they'll survive.
"You packed Alyssa?" I asked, walking into her room.
"Yea. I think I packed enough for two weeks." She had one giant suitcase that was bloated but didn't seem like it was going to explode. William trotted into the room and brushed his muzzle against my hand.
"What're we gonna do with William while we're gone?" I inquired while petting his head.
"Either take him with us or have Haruhi watch him." I thought about it for a moment. I knew I couldn't have him at my house and I wasn't sure if Alyssa wanted to bring him to her house. We both have cats and it just wouldn't work.
"Let's have Haruhi watch him." She nodded before yawning.
"Well I'm heading to bed. Getting up early tomorrow is gonna suck." She said, heading towards the bathroom. I nodded but a thought struck in my head.
"Do you really think we should leave without telling Hikaru or Mori?" The thought had been reoccurring in my mind and I didn't think it was right to leave without at least telling them.
"Well they're gonna make a big fuss about us leaving for two weeks whether we tell them or not. But it could be worse if we didn't tell them."
"True. I'm going to go call Mori and tell him. Safe ourselves an argument."
"Yea I'll give Hikaru a call, and Haruhi. Not to mention Kyoya." She mentioned Kyoya at the end and I wasn't sure why.
"Why Kyoya?" I questioned.
"Because we know that Tamaki will probably freak and who will be the first person he goes to for information?" I nodded for it all made sense now.
Once we called everyone, Alyssa announced, "I'm going to bed." She walked to her room with William following right behind her. Not long after, I too went to bed.
~_~_~_~_~_~_~2:30 AM~_~_~_~_~_~_~
~_~_~_~_~_~_~Alyssa's Pov~_~_~_~_~_~_~
2:30 came sooner then I wanted it too. My alarm went off and I wanted nothing more than to somehow murder the dang machine. I groggily got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. In all honesty I was contemplating just going to the airport in my pajamas, but it would definitely turn heads. Once both Morgan and I were ready, we dragged the luggage out to the car then headed back into the apartment to get William so we could take him to Haruhi's.
By the time we reached the airport it was around 4:15 AM. We were fifteen minutes earlier then we needed to be but it was always better to be early. We got on the plane about 5:00 and departed about 5:30. It was a ridiculously long flight. Restless kids kicked chairs while the people in the seats would angrily yell at the kids then the parents would get angry at both the kids and the people. The whole atmosphere is definitely something I will not miss.
We landed sometime around 9:00 at night. Our parents were waiting there patiently for us to show. My mom and dad were standing there along with Barb, Morgan's mom. I didn't spot any of my brothers, so I figured they must have stayed home. Soon we went our separate ways. Getting home took about another hour and I honestly couldn't wait until I was able to get out of the car.
Pulling into the familiar drive, I looked at my house. Its brick structure still stood strong and hadn't changed at all. My parents helped me take my bags in and I walked into my room. It was just as I had left it. My bed was planted up against the wall with my nightstand right next to it. My old TV sat on its stand with multiple movies left piled on top of it, collecting dust from the past months. My book shelf held many books all in a way forgotten.
I dropped all of my stuff and plopped down on my bed. I felt the weight shift and I glanced up to see my calico short haired cat, Sarabe. We had named her off of The Lion King. I heard my door open and saw my mom standing in the doorway, decked out in her pajamas.
"What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?" She inquired.
"How about coffee cake." I suggested while sitting up.
"I can do that. Your grandparents are coming over also."
"It'll be nice to see them."
"They'll be happy to see you." I nodded too tired to say anything else.
"Well I'm heading to bed. Don't stay up too late." She said before shutting my door. She didn't have to tell me twice. As soon as I went through my nightly routine, I was out like a light.

Today, Alyssa and I decided to go and see our old friends by dropping by the school. Sure we were on break but they weren't. Because of the way we were and because we picked a little bit up from the Host Club, we decided to plan a little surprise. We had visitor's passes so getting into the school was no problem. Right when we entered the school building, you came face to face with the high school office. Behind the desk sat Mrs. Landis and it was just the person we needed to talk to.
"Hi girls. How are you?" She asked politely.
"We're fine, you?"
"Good, what can I do for you two?"
"Actually we were wondering if you could do us a favor." Alyssa hinted at.
"What type of favor?" She inquired.
"Could you call down Amber Meed, Nurashia Hall, and Caitlyn Byran to the courtyard in about five minutes?" Alyssa asked with hope lacing her voice.
"I'm really not supposed to, but I don't see the harm." Mrs. Landis paused before saying, "Sure." We both thanked her and headed down to the courtyard. It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny. We sat at one of the tables and patiently waited for the announcement. Soon we heard the beeping of the overhead.
"Will the following students please head down to the courtyard. Caitlyn Byran, Nurashia Hall, and Amber Meed. Thank You."
Of course she had to say it in alphabetical order. Soon we saw them walking down the hallway leading to the courtyard, all three in deep conversation about why they were called down. Nurashia was the first to spot us. She screamed while running over to hug us, while the other two were slightly delayed. We all shared hugs and laughter. I had to admit, it was good to be back.
So yea...for some reason I have normal print down here again...weird...anyway I hope you enjoyed this and please review!
