.:Chapter Five:.


Carlos smiled to himself as he pulled his tick of roasting marshmallows away from the bonfire that was in front of him. He brought the stick up to his face and started to blow out the flames that caused his dessert to brown and puff up.

"Careful Carlos, don't get it too close," Mrs. Knight warned.

"Too late for that," Sydney said around a mouthful of a s'more. "He already burned off his eyebrows; I don't think he can burn anything else other than his forehead."

"His nonexistent mustache, maybe," Katie said with a shrug and laughed to herself as she pressed a graham cracked against her marshmallow.

Carlos ignored them as he blew out the last flame, causing the smoke to twist and turn up towards the dark sky that was littered with stars. He made sure that each of his eight marshmallows were cooked perfectly before he turned to find a place to sit down on a log.

"Is this seat taken?" He asked, moving to Rhuben's side.

"It is now, Care Bear," Rhuben replied with a smile, moving over so he had room to sit down. "If you give me one of those marshmallows."

"Deal," Carlos sat down and peeled one off of the stick before putting his plate in his lap to start making his own dessert.

It was their last day in Hawaii, the rest of their time there had gone by pretty quickly. They had gone into town to see the locals, they had driven around the islands, and they had gone snorkeling and surfing again. They even got to meet Alana Blanchford and Bethany Hamilton, which made Riley and James very happy (for two different reasons). The while time they had gotten more than enough footage for BTR's music video and they had a great time as well. Earlier they went to a luau with the locals before Sydney had concocted a slip-n-slide out of plastic trash bags that were torn apart and soap and water. They used the luau and the slip-n-slide for the closure of the video and just to have some unbridled fun along with thanking the residents of Hawaii for letting them visit. Now they were rounding things out with a bonfire and eating s'mores before they got back on the plane to go to California.

"You know what I'm thinking?" Kendall asked after a few moments of silence.

"I smell speech," Patrick remarked.

"More like a heartfelt statement," Noah corrected him.

Kendall smiled as the other's laughed. It was just the way that he was, he was so loyal and so into his friends being ok that he had a habit of making speeches and saying heartfelt things to show them how much he cared. He did it so much that they could tell when he was getting ready to say something.

"Let him finish," Ronan chided them. "Go ahead, Kendall."

"I was just saying that it's been kind of a while since we've all ended up in the same spot together." Kendall shrugged. "We've all been so busy with our own stuff; us with our bands," he motioned between himself and the Jacksons. "You guys going back to Australia every six months, Mom being our Momager, Ronan working with Gustavo and now he's going to start working with bands back in Australia…" He gave a peaceful smile. "I'd just like to say, it's nice that we were all able to come here to spend a vacation together."."

"You know, you're right," Riley nodded. She tilted her head to the side and gave a smile as she raised an eyebrow. "I feel like I'm in the middle of some sort of holiday special."

"Yeah, but I think the group hug is a little premature," Logan said with a laugh, putting his arm around Riley's shoulders and giving her a hug, rubbing her arm. "However, I'm sure we'll find a way to become estrange again in no time." He added, jokingly.

"Well, before we do," Kendall held up a finger. "I would just like to say that in a world where people who raise you wind up letting you down," he frowned for a moment, but his smile replaced it. It was inevitable, no matter how long he was around his friends, he was always going to find a way to smile and genuinely be happy. "It's an honor and a privilege to have you guys to turn to. And even if we end up splitting apart and going our separate ways in the future we still have moments like these. We'll always have each other to turn to."

"Well, I can't wait for the Stanley Cup acceptance speech," Rhuben said, shaking her head when Kendall had finished.

"There's not going to be a dry eye in the house," Katie and Sydney agreed in unison.
