A.N: Hey guys! I hope you're enjoying the story so far! Sorry for the long update, I've been having a little bit of writers block.

A couple of days later, Baumer and Seth were able to go back to the hotel. Nina had stayed with both boys to keep them company. Giorgio had come to pick them up from the hospital to go back to surfer's paradise. Johnny was going to take the role as the manager while Baumer rested so Baumer didn't put any strain on his body. Seth wasn't going to surf for a while until he fully recovered.

The three were sitting at a table in the DR eating lunch.

Seth slammed his hands on the table. "Alright guys, listen up. We have a serious problem." He was finally going to tell them what happened with his father. He had trouble keeping it inside so telling them would be a relief.

Nina looked up from her food and swallowed. "What is it?"

Baumer looked at Seth. "If this problem was so serious, why did you wait until now to tell us?"

"Well because I didn't know how to tell you."

"What do you mean?" Nina asked. "Is the problem that serious?"

"Well seeing as my father wants to shut down surfer's paradise, yes." Seth replied.

"What?!" Nina gasped. "Why would he do that? Why would he do that?! That's crazy! We can't let him! No!"

Baumer gasped. "No! I'll be out of a job!"

Seth shot Baumer a look of disapproval.

"I mean, oh no that'll be terrible."

"H-He…can't! I don't want it to shut down! I love it here!" Nina told them, eyes glistening with tears.

"We won't." Baumer put an arm around her and cupped her face with his other hand. "We'll do something."

Nina smiled and nodded.

"But what?" Seth asked.

"Protest?" Nina suggested.

"No." Seth answered quickly.

"Why?"

"Dad hates protests." Seth replied.

"So?" Baumer asked.

"Well, to save the hotel I don't want to do something he may not like." Seth explained. "There are plenty of other ideas."

"Well what idea do you have then?!" Baumer rose his voice. "Capture him and force him to not shut the hotel?"

Seth put his hand to his chin, thinking. "Hmm…"

"…I WAS KIDDING." Baumer told him quickly. He didn't want him to think he was serious.

Seth smirked. "I know."

Baumer sighed. "Alright, what idea do you have then?"

"If only we can show him how much the hotel means to everybody and who would be affected if it does shut down." Seth told them.

"So like the thing where you get people to sign to go against something?" Nina suggested.

"Petition?"

"Yes that's it!" Nina grinned.

Seth smiled. "Yes, we can do that."

"How many signatures?" Baumer asked.

"Five hundred."

"Sounds like a lot." Nina commented.

Seth grinned. "Do you know how many guests are in this hotel?"

Nina let out a gasp. "That's right!"

"Two hundred and seventy four." Baumer told them.

Seth slowly turned his head to Baumer.

"I'm the manager." Baumer reminded him.

"Yes, I know."

Nina stood from her seat. "Well what are we waiting for?" She asked. She as eager to get these signatures.

"Okay, I'll have Johnny type out the paper." Baumer told them.

As if on cue, Johnny appeared. "Already done, sir."

"I made it 10 pages back to back and each page can have 50 signatures. All the signatures are numbered," Johnny explained. He put the papers in front of Seth. "And I think you should be number one." He smiled at Seth, handing him a blue pen.

Seth smiled back at him and took the pen. He signed his full name on the first line of the first page. "Alright you guys, let's get these 500 signatures."
