And as of tomorrow, school is starting back up for Katie and I, how sad. So updates might take a little longer to get up.

Brooke's Zen of the Day: You are stupid, and there for wrong.

Brooke

The next morning I woke up to having the pleasure of meeting the floor in a tangled mess of sheets and limbs. After a minute I sat up and looked at the bed to find my dear friend Katie sprawled across our bed as if she wasn't supposed to be sharing it with someone. So, once again, Katie pushed me off the bed, stupid bed hogs. I am so switching beds with Fran tonight cause, apparently, Fran's a bed hog too. Dear lord, we're surrounded.

I looked at the clock and it read about six thirty. Well there wasn't really a reason to try and fall asleep again. Getting up I stood in the middle of the room trying to think about what I was going to do next. Feeling like terrorizing someone, I pulled on a pair on jeans and went across the hall with my Ipod and speakers to greet the 'Spada good morning. Katie and I made a plan to swipe an extra room key. It worked and I used it to sneak into the room.

I turned the volume all the way up on both my Ipod and speakers before I chose a song. Flipping through my playlist, I saw Bodies by Drowning Pool. I grinned evily, or as Katie would say, like an evil clown. Speeding through the song to the part where it got all creepy and emo, I went into the middle of the room, and made sure that when I pushed play all of the sleeping Spada would hear it. Too bad for the 'Spada that they were just heavy enough sleepers that they didn't hear me come in, sucks to be them, don't it?

Taking a quick breath for courage, I pushed play and blasted the music. Two of the 'Spada jumped out of their beds at random times, all except for Emocar who just sat up in his bed and glared at me. Stupid bastard, did he think that I wasn't able to scare him? Oh how wrong he was.

"Wha's goin on" Grimmy asked slurring his words slightly from having been waken up so roughly.

"Where's my sword!" Nnoitra yelled holding up a pillow. I held up the sword, which is very heavy mind you, and he glared at me.

"Give me my sword back bitch!" he screeched. I grinned and took off running back across the hall with my Ipod and Nnoitra's precious sword in hand and slammed our door as fast as possible. I could hear Nnoitra on the other side yelling about it. Then the door of Stark and Szayel's room opened and I heard Stark bitching out Nnoitra about waking him up at six in the morning. I cracked open my door and peered out double-checking that Nnoitra was back in his room. I also hoped that no one had heard that little fiasco.

Turning around I saw Katie sitting up in the bed and rubbing her eyes.

"Wtf man...what are you doing up?" she asked. I held up Nnoitra's sword and she started to laugh.

"Hahaha you're so dead!" I grinned evily again, before tossing the big ass sword on the floor. The only reason I had taken it was because if I hadn't, they would have been serving Brooke-kabobs at breakfast later, and since we weren't supposed to bring weapons to school or any school function, I was just, keeping Nnoitra an honest man. Tee Hee.

"I highly doubt that." I went into the bathroom, got a shower, and went out into the room. Katie sprinted into the bathroom and locked the door. I raised an eyebrow.

"What are you doing in there?" I said pounding on the door.

"Lilinette just woke up and I wanted a hot shower!" a muffled voice replied. I rolled my eyes and went to put on a clean t-shirt.

"Don't forget to layer your clothes! I'm so not giving you my sweatshirt when we get on the ferry" Katie shouted through the door. God she could be such a mom sometimes. I pulled on a sweatshirt annoyed that Katie was right. She came out of the bathroom fifteen minutes later fully dressed in a pair of her favorite ripped blue jeans and a red t-shirt.

"Where did you put the brush smarty?" she asked. I pointed randomly at the table leading her on a small manhunt, well brush hunt, for it. Unlike Katie, I don't need much time to get ready, my routine is like so: shower, clothes, brush, and go. Katie's is more like: shower, clothes, hair, make-up, check and go in that order.

We all met in the lobby with the rest of our group for breakfast after everyone else was finished getting dressed. The poor hotel staff had to deal with ninety-five hungry teenagers, ten chaperones and the rest of the people staying at the hotel. Man I thought that they were gonna break down and cry. After everyone crammed into chairs, Mrs. Richardson got up and got everyone's attention.

"Alright, today we're going to Mackinaw Island!" she waited for everyone to stop cheering and settle down before she continued. I looked over at our table and found Stark was half asleep where he sat, lazy ass basterd, seriously, I don't know what Katie sees in him, maybe it's the goatee… "Okay, settle down everyone. So you will be in the same groups as yesterday and once we get to the island you're group can do whatever until 6:00 tonight. You got it?" everyone cheered once again, anxious to get going, and ready for breakfast, "Now the hotel has been kind enough to give us a free continental breakfast, so be courteous while getting your food, the bus leaves in 45 minutes." And with that, we 'walked' to get our food. Seriously, 95 hungry adolescents, no door, or person, is going to stand in our way for food. Would you want to get in our way? Yeah…didn't think so!

After we'd had a very nutritious breakfast of 'Lucky Charms', 'Fruity Pebbles', and Waffles, we, finally, got everyone onto the buses and off we went to Mackinaw Island. Then we took a five-minute ride to the ferry ports. I guess we could have walked but it was early and with everyone still somewhat asleep, walking across a busy road just didn't seem like a very smart idea. The 'still asleep' problem didn't last very long since when we got to the ferry port; it was freaking cold. I was very happy that Katie told us to layer our clothes for the ride over, let me restate, it was cold as balls!

By the time we got to the island, everyone was awake and ready to go. After going through Mrs. Richardson re-telling us our rules and guidelines for this trip, we were off. The first ten, fifteen minutes of our time was spent deciding what to do first. It took that entire ten minutes, but eventually everyone (or nearly everyone) agree to getting a tour around the island on one of the horse drawn buggies. We had to get two seeing as each buggy held five people, and we have ten. It then took another ten minutes to get everything situated but eventually we got going, Katie, Stark, Nnoitra, Ulquiorra, and Fran in the first buggy and Lilinette, Szayel, Harribel, Grimmjow and myself in the second one. It was a little cramped, but it's better than paying for three buggies.

Before we even reached one forth around the island I was bored, our 'tour guide' was telling us all the information in the most monotone voice ever. I mean, I know it would be hard to say the same things all day but seriously, try and put at least a little effort into it. Eventually we stopped to check out an old house/museum and I didn't know how much more of this I could take. Lilinette and I had spent most of the ride playing Rock, Paper, Scissors until Grimmy-Kitty got mad at us for arguing over whether or not paper beats rock.

As we walked around the museum our 'tour guides' told us all about the old house and facts. Apparently the first buggy didn't have it any better than we did seeing as their guide was an overly perky Barbie wanna be. I'm not sure which one was better, the apathetic Emocar clone, or Barbie 2.0. In one of the halls on the first floor I found a locked door that didn't have any markings of what it was.

"Hey, what's this door lead to?" I asked causing our entire tour to stop.

"That door leads to a tunnel that ends in the middle of the island, it was made incase there was an invasion of the house so that the family could get away safely." Barbie 2.0 told us, "Now if you follow us, we'll show you the old bedroom of the master of the house and his wife." As everyone turned to slowly follow, I grabbed Grimmjow's shoulder.

"Hey Grimmy-Kitty, unlock the door." I whispered, as our group got farther away towards the amazing bedroom that I really didn't care about.

"Why should I?" He asked me sounding quiet irritated.

"Because, we're going on a quest to see where the tunnel leads!" I told him happily, ignoring the glare he gave me, "Well, it's either that or you can go see another doily covered room." He thought it over for a minute before sighing.

"Fine." And with that he blew the lock off with a mini-bala. I stared wide-eyed at the lock while he opened the door. "What?"

"I didn't know you could do that while in a Gigai." I told him before looking inside the room to find that there was in fact a tunnel leading somewhere. The only problem was that it was darker that Hades in there. There was no way we would be able to see anything in there.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" I turned around to see Lilinette watching us from a little ways down the hall.

"Were going on a quest, only we need to find a light." I told her sadly.

"Can I come?" She asked skipping over to us, "It's so boring on the buggy."

"Yeah I know." I agreed, as Grimmjow seemed to get even more agitated.

"Come on, we need to either go in and shut the door or leave because someone's going to come to see what the noise was." On cue we could here someone coming down the stairs near by, headed in our direction.

"Hurry, hide inside the tunnel!" I whispered urgently. We quickly darted inside the tunnel and shut the door soundlessly. My first estimate seemed to be correct seeing as inside the tunnel the only light was coming from under the door and I still couldn't see my hand in front of my face.

"Hmm, the lock fell off. I guess we'll have to get another one." We heard a muffled voice say, "Hey Jim, you go get a lock while I watch the door."

"Okay Chuck." Then a set of footsteps slowly disappeared as we waited inside the darkness. Within minutes the footsteps came back and there was a loud click as they put another lock on the door, then the two men talking as the walked away.

"Fuck, we're trapped." I swore under my breath.

"What now genius? This was your idea." Grimmjow said angrily somewhere to my left.

"Well, the only thing to do is to walk down the tunnel." Lilinette told us as I heard her start walking.

"One problem how will we see where we're going?" I asked skeptically, if I couldn't see my hand an inch from my fact, how were we supposed to get out of here?

"Well Grimmy and I can see pretty well, just hang on to one of us." She suggested happily before heading down the tunnel. Sighing I grasped at the hem of Grimmy's T-shirt as we started after Lilinette.

Half-hour later I'd stumbled down so many time that I ended up getting a piggyback ride from Grimmy. Then we started moving faster, Grimmjow and Lilinette would've Sonído if it weren't for the gigai's of if we knew how stable the tunnel was, Sonído-ing might cause it to collapse. All in all it took us around four hours to get out of the tunnel.

"Yes, sunlight, sweet, sweet sunlight!" I called as I jumped off Grimmjow's back, feeling really stiff. Looking around I saw that Barbie 2.0 was right and that tunnel lead us to the middle of a dense forest. It was really pretty with all the greenery and the way the sun filtered through the leaves.

"Yeah, sunlight, now where do we go princess?" Grimmjow asked me obviously still annoyed that he'd been wrapped into this.

"Well, it's 2:39 and the sun should be more to the west and the port is on the south part of the island so we go, that way." I pointed to where I believed south was, "But no matter which way we go we'll eventually reach a path that'll lead us back to the port."

"Well, let's get walking then!" Lilinette said happily (as always) as she started off in the direction we believed was south. Even with as hard as trudging through an over vegetated forest is, it was still better than that lame buggy ride, well, Lilinette and I thought so, Grimmjow, not so much.

We made it to the little city like port around 4:20 and the first thing we did was go get food. Breakfast was around eight hours ago and besides the few snake we'd packed, that was the last time we'd ate. We quickly picked out a little sandwich shop to get food. While waiting in line to get our food, the door opened an in walked the rest of our group.

"There you guys are." I turned around to see them and smiled happily.

"How was your tour?" I asked innocently trying not to look too guilty, besides me Grimmjow rolled his eyes and Lilinette ran over and hugged Katie and Fran.

"Boring as hell." Katie whined once we'd pried Lilinette off her, "Seriously, everything they showed us was to educational. This isn't supposed to be a learning trip. Remember last years Spirit Trip?" I laughed at her face; I knew walking in the dark was better than that tour.

"Can we just get our food already?" Grimmjow whined like my friend as the rest of our group got in line with us. After everyone got our food we went outside to eat.

"So, what'd you guys do?" Fran asked us just as innocently as I had earlier. I knew something was up.

"We went through that tunnel, you know, from the first stop? Then we trudged through the forest." Lilinette told with her mouth still full.

"Told you. Hand over my money." Katie smiled as Fran grimaced and handed over ten bucks.

"What?" I asked them rather confused.

"Katie and Fran bet on whether or not you and Grimmjow were 'hooking up'." Szayel told me as I felt my face go beat red.

"What the hell?" Grimmjow yelled as Lilinette laughed at us. Glaring, I took Emocar's water (he's to bland for pop) and pored it on both of my friends who were laughing with Lilinette.

"What? I said you weren't!" Katie defended herself while her hair dripped.

"But you said they weren't only because of Lilinette!" Fran told me, causing me to throw the empty water bottle at Kati's head.

"Trash." Emocar said glaring at me for using his drink as my revenge weapon.

"It was either your water, or Nnoitra's sword, which would you think Aizen would rather I'd use?" I asked innocently as Nnoitra glared at me once again for taking his sword, "Anyways, Grimmy and I would never hook up, that'll be either Katie and Stark, or Fran and Emocar." I laughed as Fran smiled and put an arm around Emocar's shoulder, who mealy pushed it off and glared at her.

The rest of the time at Mackinaw Island was spent with us looking around the towns many stores and then hanging near the water edge. When six o'clock came around we left on the ferry then went to some pizza place. Needless to say I ate salad and breadsticks while Katie and Fran made fun of me for not liking pizza. By the time we were back at the hotel, we were all too tired to do anything but have a movie night in our room. The only down side was that Nnoitra got his zanpakuto back.

The movie ended up being some horror movie, so I had to hide my face the entire time. That night I woke up once from a nightmare, that's when I noticed that everyone had fallen asleep in our room, Stark and Katie were asleep at the foot of my bed, Katie had her head leaned against Stark's shoulder, which was adorable. Fran's foot was dangling off the bed in front of Emocar's face and Lilinette was hogging up the most of their bed while Harribel had the couch again. Both Szayel and Nnoitra had left before the end of the movie, not of course before making fun of me for freaking out so badly. I could have woken everyone up, but it was so cute seeing everyone so peaceful with each other that I could bring myself to do it. Turning off the TV, I snuggled closer to my pillow and went back to sleep.
