Stoked Part 3

"What about you Riptide, Lu$h-" Glitch turned around to ask them but his eyes widen. They're nowhere in sight. He had a faint sound come out from his mouth, making everyone suspicious.

"Glitch, are you okay?" Lil'T asked him, Glitch still let out the same faint sound. "Glitch is there something wrong?"

"R-Ript-tide… Lu$h…" Glitch stuttered. "T-They're A-A-Aren't w-wiith u-u-s."

"That is…" Lil'T stammered and looked behind Glitch. She covered her mouth.

"OH you have to be…" Taye hissed and turned around, her voice faded. He was right. They're nowhere near them.

Mo didn't believe him, so he turned around. He didn't spot them either.

"DCI we have a problem.." MacCoy and Dare spoke up, after finding out the other two crews aren't with them.

Rasa and Lima turned to Taye, who is standing. "Yes?"

Taye and the others gulped. "Where was the last time Riptide and Lu$h have been with us?"

Back From Where We Left Off...

Rasa and Lima turned around and looked behind the four, who are fear-stricken. They're eyes widen and Lima gasped.

"They were just here... No... This cannot be right..." Lima murmured and bit her thumb. "Taye, try to call either Bodie, Angel, Aubrey or Emilia. Quickly!"

"Aiight, aiight." Taye stammered and quickly dialed Emilia, placing the phone on her ear. A few seconds later, she groaned. "No connection."

"Damnit," Rasa scowled under his breath. "Mo, Glitch- any luck?"

"Hang on, I'll try to call Bodie." Glitch raised a hand, trying to call Bodie. The call has been corrupted, Glitch sighed. "Crappy phone service."

Everyone tried to call or text the missing members, but no luck had hit them. They had no choice but to go to the hotel.

"I hope they're okay," Dare muttered and continued to walk with the remaining members.

Meanwhile- With Riptide and Lu$H

"Where are they?" Aubrey bit her lip and tried calling Taye. Not a single ring echoed in her ear. "I can't get hold of anyone."

"Great," Emilia sighed and sat on a bench. "We're lost and neither of us can't speak French."

"I know some French," Bodie spoke up. "Not a lot of it though."

"Angel, any luck?" Aubrey looked at Angel, hoping if he can get any signal.

"My phone's dead, " Angel pointed out, his iPhone died during the process of calling the others. "I only have an iPod 5 with me that's it."

"I blame traffic and crowded people," Aubrey sighed and sat down. "And we blame ourselves too."

"How come?" The others asked.

"Well I got distracted by some French men who were hitting on me, Emilia got hungry and went to the bakery which had a long line up, Bodie ran into an annoying mime and Angel got distracted by some French girls." Aubrey told the other, which she made a good point. "So it's basically somewhat our fault that we got separated from them."

Emilia nodded. "Reason the line was long is there was an argument."

"The mime wouldn't stop! I seriously wanted him to go away!" Bodie crossed his arms and pouted.

"The girls were annoying." Angel rolled his eyes.

"It's almost 8 and where are we going to stay?" Bodie questioned. "We can't look like we're homeless in these clothes."

"Bodie, you said you have a relative that lives around here?" Emilia assumed. "France, right?"

"Sadly, he's in Italy." Bodie corrected. "We can try to go there on bus..."

"MY HOME, BABY!" Emilia cheered.

"Oh hell no!" Aubrey hissed. "I can't have the same incident!"

"We arrive there probably around 11pm.." Angel noted. "So chances are everyone's asleep."

"And the woman is somewhere else, she shouldn't be taking the bus apparently." Emilia shrugged.

"Don't we know the hotel name?" Aubrey made sure before they decide to take the bus. The others shook their head. "Never mind..."

"Come on, we don't want to wander around here too often." Angel pulled Aubrey with him and so headed to the bus stop along with Riptide.

They went to the bus stop and waited for almost an hour despite the fact the bus got delayed. The two girls were sleeping on their partner's shoulders. The bus eventually came by to bring them to Italy, so Angel and Bodie had to carry their sleeping partners inside the bus.

It was awfully quiet in the bus; no passengers are inside except the four. The drive to Italy was quiet, yet awkward between the two men who are awake and the bus driver. An hour passed until the bus driver spoke up.

"One hour and ten minutes left," The bus driver told the two. He was American, apparently.

"Okay, good to know." Bodie noted.

"Hey, you four look familiar…" The bus driver smiled and looked at the four by the mirror. "Aren't you Lu$h crew and Riptide?"

Bodie and Angel exchanged looks. No one really noticed them, but the bus driver did.

"Yes, sir." Angel gave him a faint smile.

"What are you doing in Europe?"

"Spring break, but we got separated from our friends." Bodie sighed.

"Let me guess, distractions or too crowded to get through?"

"Both." Angel and Bodie sighed.

"Do you have currency?"

"Yes sir."

The bus driver nodded and kept driving. Bodie watched Emilia, who looks like she was shivering because the bus temperature wasn't really warm and she was only in shorts. Bodie took off his jacket and wrapped it around her, to give her warmth and comfort. Angel did the same to Aubrey, in addition stroking her hair. It went extremely quiet in the bus; no sign of awkwardness filled the air. The hour and ten minutes went by quickly and arrived in Italy at 11:00pm.

The bus driver asked if one of them had a relative living in Italy and Bodie told him the address. The bus driver drove them to Bodie's uncle's house instead of letting them walk by themselves because it can be dangerous during night. A couple more minutes passed and arrived at Bodie's uncle's house.

"Hey Em," Bodie murmured in Emilia's ear, waking her up from his voice. "We're here now."

Emilia did wake up; rubbing her eyes and blinked a couple of times. Riptide got off the bus, saying thank you to the driver and walked on the driveway. Angel tried to wake up Aubrey, but she was sleeping deeply. Angel picked her up and walked out from the bus, thanking the driver.

"Is this the right place?" Emilia asked, holding on to Bodie.

Bodie nodded. "I'm sure of it. My mom told me his address just in case something like this ever happens. She doubt it this would happen."

"Yeah, tell her that it did happened." Emilia coughed and told him knock on the door. Bodie and Angel laughed as Bodie knocked on his uncle's door. The door opened and his uncle stood at the door. Emilia's eyes widen as she saw his uncle.

"That's your uncle?" Angel and Emilia gave a look to Bodie; and he nodded.

"Bodie?" His uncle's bright blue eyes focused on Bodie. "What are you-?"

"Questions later," Bodie cut him off. "Can we come in?"

"Course," His uncle let the four in his house. The house was the perfect size for at least five people to live. The four dropped their bags on the living room floor and sat on the couch other than Aubrey, who lied on the couch.

"My name is Dylan, in case you're wondering. I'm Bodie's uncle." Dylan introduced himself to Angel and Emilia, who are still shocked that Dylan looks young for his age.

"That's Angel," Bodie pointed to the Latino. "The one sleeping is Aubrey and the one beside me is Emilia."

"I have a question," Emilia faked a laugh. "Are you the twin brother of Chris Pine, cause I think you're his twin brother!"

"Actually, no. I may look like him and sound like him, but I'm not related to Chris Pine." Dylan smiled and Emilia lost half of her excitement. "Sorry for crushing your high hopes."

"It's okay," Emilia scoffed and gave him a slight smile. "Bodie already does crush my hopes whenever I read dystopian novels."

Bodie gave her a look and nudged her playfully. "No I don't."

"Sure you do," Angel smirked.

"See? Even Aubrey's lover is on my side." Emilia gave him an evil smile.

The conversations in Dylan's house went reckless and interesting. The night grew gradually less and it was 3 in the morning. Everyone went to the guest rooms and slept, hoping for more hope for tomorrow.

With Glitch and Lil'T- Back in Paris

The two had a hard time falling asleep in their hotel room so they went from playing UNO to watching horror movies to finally play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Same rules but whenever someone loses, they get a slap on their hand.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!" Glitch and Lil'T cried. Glitch went for Rock while Lil'T went for Scissors.

"Aw, damnit Glitch!" Lil'T sighed and Glitch showed her a smirk. "I only slapped you like five times and you like a hundred!"

"Ahem, pass the hand please." Glitch smirked and Lil'T obliged. He slapped the hand and Lil'T gawked in pain.

"Can we do something else? Or can I like eat?' Lil"T pouted and Glitch nodded. Lil'T went to her bag and looked for a box of Pocky she bought. She took it out and opened it, getting Pocky sticks out form the bag.

"Can I have some?" Glitch asked. Lil'T shook her head and sat down beside him. "Why not?!"

"Because you slapped my hand 101 times, already." Lil'T pointed out. "And I'm hungry."

"Pleasseee!" Glitch begged and gave her puppy dog eyes. Lil'T quickly averted her eyes from his, avoiding the puppy dog look.

The guys do it really bad no offense but when it comes to Glitch, I just wish he were a puppy! Man, do I really have to give him some?

"Ugh, fine." Lil'T snorted and gave him some. "You're lucky I gave you some."

Glitch smiled and grabbed one out of the bag. He finished it in seconds and as Lil'T had one in her mouth not bothering to eat it, he bit the other end.

Lil'T was surprised and took a bite. Glitch did the same. But something went blank in Lil'T's mind. Every time one of them took a bite, their faces were drawing nearer and nearer. Lil'T felt warmth rushed up her cheeks as their lips start to touch. Glitch took in one last bite and as she knew, they were kissing.

Lil'T felt nothing in her, just warmth and melted chocolate stirring through the kiss. They pulled away, with sheepish smiles and awkwardness drifted in the air.

"S-Sorry…" Glitch stammered, his face was completely red.

"I-I know you are." Lil'T smiled. "It's okay."

Glitch just smiled and gave her a light peck on the lips.

"Hey, wanna try to call the others again?" Lil'T blushed.

Glitch nodded and called Angel- the first one who came into his mind.

Meanwhile in Italy- In the Lu$h Guest Room

Aubrey fluttered her eyes and looked at her surroundings. She was on a decent king bed. Where the hell am I? Where's Angel?

The door creaked, making Aubrey hid under the covers. It was Angel, who came into the room. He noticed that Aubrey was moving under the sheets, so Angel realized she was awake.

"Hey, chica." Angel smiled as he approached the bed. "It's just me. No stranger or anything."

Aubrey slowly went out from the covers and saw Angel. She blushed as the minute she saw him. A towel draped his head, meaning he took a shower. Streaks of water trickled his bare chest; the only thing he wore was a pair of unbuttoned jeans, showing a pair of grey boxers.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?" Angel questioned as he saw the awkwardness in her eyes.

She blushed harder and shook her head. "N-No! N-Not at a-all."

Angel noticed her hesitation and sat on the edge of her bed. He went closer and stared at her directly into her eyes.

"I sensed your hesitation." Angel smirked and Aubrey blushed even harder than usual. Her face was completely red. "It's not like your first time seeing me shirtless. Come on, you modeled with shirtless men and you don't react."

Aubrey relaxed a bit. He does make a good point.

Angel was about to draw nearer to the blushing red head until his phone rang.

"You charged it?"

Angel nodded and grabbed the phone. He answered. "Uh… Hello?" He then placed it on speaker

"HOLY SHIT! ANGEL YOU ANSWERED FINALLY! YES!" A voice of two teenagers cheered on the line. Aubrey and Angel exchanged looks.

"Who are you?" Both of the confused asked. They have no clue who called them.

"YOU STUPIDS ITS US- TIYANNA AND GLITCH!" Lil'T screamed at them. "FINALLY YOU HAVE SIGNAL!"

"Oh." Aubrey and Angel laughed.

"Why are you awake? It's like 3 in the morning!" Aubrey asked the teenagers, who are happily cheering at the other end of the line.

"We can't sleep. Don't say we're high." Glitch told. "Why are you two awake? Drinking?"

"I took a shower and Aubrey woke up from her 6 hour nap." Angel replied. "Wait- where are the others?"

"In their hotels rooms sleeping." Both replied. "Where are you guys?"

"In Italy." Angel answered.

"Wait- we're in Italy?' Aubrey questioned and Angel nodded.

"It's at least a good thing that you guys are okay…" Glitch said. "I'll tell the others when they wake up in the next four hours."

"All-nighters, huh?' Aubrey muttered. "Hope you don't get tired when you come to Spain."

"Oh don't worry, we have a plan." Lil'T snickered. "Go get rest. We'll- I mean, everyone will talk in the morning."

"Okay, see you."

"Bye."

About six hours later… In Paris- At the Main Lounge 9:34am

"Man, it's at least a good thing to be in a different set of clothes than yesterday." Mo stretched in his hoodie. "I feel a lot better."

"Did everyone sleep well?" Rasa said, fixing his collar of his sweater. Everyone nodded, except Lil'T and Glitch had a wide grin on his or her face. "Uh, are you two okay?"

The two kids nodded, still smiling. "Yep."

"You didn't sleep, didn't you?" Dare asked, raising an eyebrow.

"We have some news for you and I think you'll be happy about it." Lil'T squealed and jumped up and down. "Ready to tell them Glitch?"

Glitch nodded and both took a big breath. The others stood there in confusion, not knowing what's up with the two.

"We found out where the others are!" Glitch and Lil'T exclaimed and jumped up and down multiple times. The others gasped and thought they were kidding.

"You have to be joking…" Lima mumbled and looked at the two. "Where are they? And how did you contacted them?"

"Calling, duh!" Glitch noted and the others chuckled. "I guess there's better signal in 3 in the morning."

"Anyway, we called Angel on our first try and he told us they were in Italy." Lil'T continued.

"So, shall we take the bus for the second time and go to Italy?" Taye asked the crew and everyone nodded.

"Ooh, I cannot wait to go taste the fresh pizza and pasta! Mmm!" Mo said in an Italian accent.

Whew! The kids save the day! Good thing they know where the others are

Review please? :D
