I wake up just realizing that I had dozed off in the chair. I stretch my legs and decide to explore this vast library. After a while or walking around aimlessly I realize two things; it is no wonder that Stephanie is so smart with this many books surrounding her, and secondly, I was lost. This was not an uncommon situation for me anymore because of many occasions that we ... did stupid things and ended up in stupid places. Unfortunately, the shelves were of towering height and there was no glowing neon exit signs anywhere.
At this point I wondered where the rest of the crew went to spend their day. I had a feeling that they were getting themselves in trouble, as always.
"Well at least there isn't about to be anyone (female, Asian and named Krissy)jumping out from behind a bookcase to attack me."
I closed my eyes and braced for the usual irony of the statement to hit me but when nothing happened I continued walking down row after row and nothing really seemed to change.
"Now this is boring."
I kinda miss the loud rambunctious laughter that usually accompanied this kind of situation.
All of a sudden, a gold braided rope dropped in front of me, suspended at the ceiling. A simple note was attached to it.
"Pull or not to pull"

JayJay

I really really hoped we’d find a secret cave of wonders with treasure and everything, just no ebil-ness. I was actually pretty sure that everyone knew I was thinking that. So I decided to think of something else. It was hard though, because Jenny swam in front of me, and whenever she was distracted…her flippers would slap my face. And because we swam in a single-file line, whenever Jenny’s flippers slapped my face, I’d slow down…and Daniel would totally head-butt my flippers. Which caused me to swim a little faster…and then head-butt Jenny’s flippers. It was an everlasting cycle of annoyance, which seriously ticked me off.

But on a lighter note, as we continued swimming…the tile slowly became jagged rocks and the pool water became fresh water. How did I know it was fresh water? Because once when Daniel head-butted me…my mask came loose…and I had to drink the water in order to breathe again. Boy would he get it once we got on land.

We continued to swim for gosh knows how long…but we were pretty tired. And then we reached the end of the tunnel. Light flooded our senses as we swam out of the tunnel, one by one. We were in an underwater freshwater oasis. Life was teeming everywhere, and as everyone was paying attention to the glorious scenery…I had just laid my eyes on the biggest darn pearl I’d ever seen.

Meanwhile, everyone else had decided to spend the day by Stephanie's pool. It was an enormous pool, and was designed with a Greek-like touch. I gazed in awe at the great pillars spaced out around the pool which seemed to stretch on and on. Half-submerged steps led into the pool, disappearing into it's depths. As I peered into the pool, I realized that I could not see the bottom.

"Uhhh..." I asked, not turning away from the deep pool. "How deep is this pool, exactly?"

"Not too sure, actually. I never did try to go all the way to the bottom." We all turned to stare at Stephanie in disbelief. What was this?? She had her own ocean in her backyard! "Well," she continued with a lofty air about her, "do you want me to get some scuba equipment? We could explore the pool."

Minutes later, we all stood geared up on one of the steps leading to the pool. We were standing waist-deep on the stairs. "Ready?" Jenny asked everyone. We all nodded and put our goggles on. I left the stairs and floated deeper into the pool. Then, I submerged my head under the water. We swam deeper down for a good half hour until we reached the tiled bottom of the pool.

"How deep was that? It was like more than 100m!" I exclaimed through the speaking devices installed in our scuba gear.

"Hey look!" JayJay pointed out. "There's a secret tunnel under this tile!" Indeed, she had lifted up a tile from the floor of Stephanie's pool.

"How do you see this stuff?" Jonathan muttered as they swam one after another through the narrow passage way. I was last, claustrophobic and not wanting to enter some small tunnel deep under water. Resigning, I dived deeper into the passage, switching on the light on our suits, lighting my way through the darkness into the unknown.

Emily

The strange silence was unsettling for me. Usually we are NEVER this quiet, especially when there are situations involving a member from each of the opposite sex. But alas things returned to normal when Krissy suddenly picked him up with sudden scary strength and throw him across the room. This time there was silence once again but it was a shocked one. Then the chaos of sudden outbursts begins at exactly 0.6 seconds after the audible thud.
"Wow ... do that again!"
"Anger management much?"
"What was that for?"
"So unbecoming of a woman."
"Was that really necessary?"
"OMG"
"..."
etc.
Krissy's response?
"Meh"

After eating a breakfast consisting of eggs, sausages, bacon, bagels and milk I snuck out of the kitchen and went to search for a place to read ... Merchant of Venice.

After some aimless wandering around the house, I managed to find a comfortable enough place, semi secluded area with a single large reading chair cleverly placed next to an extremely large window which gave a brilliant view of the morning sun.I began reading, but knowing me and knowing that I can't concentrate on Shakespeare and interpret it early in the morning, my mind began to drift.

The imagination is the ultimate form of transportation, you can cross endless bodies of water within seconds and be exactly where you want to be. I picture the one I want to picture. The one that I want to stay by. Reminiscing the little stupid things that we have done. The harmony of our voices melding together as we sing quietly to each other.
"I wanna sing for you my friend."
But are my feelings for you just friendly? Is growing jealous of the person who is not me dancing with you classified as friendly? If it is not friendly then what is this feeling?
"I wanna sing for you with all my heart."
I remember growing embarrassed every time you lock eyes with me when we sing.
"I wanna sing for you my dream."
I want to be with you right here right now, but it can never happen. You are in another continent while I am here. I can only dream of being with you.
"I wanna sing for you my ..."
Is that my fate?

JayJay

This morning just couldn’t get any better. Hyperness first thing in the morning. I groggily got up, and looked around. Man, did my head hurt or what. The most likely cause would be…me drinking…and forgetting that I was drunk…and me continuing to drink.

My first impression of the scene before me was simply that it was an average day. Emily getting crushed by a girl-monster, while we were just sitting there, or in the guy’s case, standing there. I spotted Daniel, and gave him the ‘it’s-just-another-day-look’. He nodded, and we surveyed the scene before us.
I got up, and since the silence was deafening me, I yelled, “WHO WANTS VODKA AND CEREAL?!” I saw Daniel smirk from the corner of my eye, while everyone just sighed.

Out of the other corner of my eye, I saw Tom walk towards Stephanie, and he sat on her bed beside her. Since no one really replied to me, we were all focused on Stephanie and Tom. He scooted closer to her, and spoke, “Good morning my darling, how are you this fine morning?” and as he spoke, he put his hand on Stephanie’s hands. The silence deafened even more. One could almost HEAR Jonathan’s jealousy and anger.
The silence was totally awkward. So I saw Krissy do something about it. She picked him up and threw him across the room.

Emily

"Wake up!!"
"Waaaahh!!" and I hit something really hard with my forehead as I quickly sat up. I look around and find that the sun beams were peaking through the curtains and the birds and what not were chirping their little heads off. How disgustingly cliche can this morning get.
"Riiise and shine sleepy heads!"
... and if I hadn't already sustained damage to my forehead I would palm face myself in shame.
Jenny was up and about really early this morning apparently as she was bustling about waking up the others who seemed to be knocked out cold from the reunion (JayJay) around me. Which suddenly makes me wonder why she isn't the one who is moaning in pain. Acutally, second thought, who IS the one moaning like a wounded animal so early this morning. Lets take a guess, there are like 5 girls in this room, one of them being me, if Jenny isn't the one who I just butted heads with and Jay Jay is too far to be the culprit then that leaves ...
I quickly glance at the far corner and find that the creepy beast was still safely barracaded.
"You APE!!!"
A sudden vaguely pink and frilly thing was seen being launched at me from the corner of my eye but me being too full of sleep was too slow to react to the incoming missile.
"Nuooooeeee, Emily my looove!!! (this line is actually part of the 10% non fiction)"
So do you wanna hear the good news or the bad? Well the good news was that I didn't get hit by the pillow. The bad news was that Krissy had practically tackled me to the leg of Stephanie's bed. Oh how I can feel the bruise coming.
Suddenly the door burst open and all the guys came tumbling into the room in various states of dress (eg: pjs, t-shirts + shorts/ jeans, and in Tommy's case, a bathrobe).
Oh, but on the bright side, my morning can't get worse... right?

JayJay

I tried to get up as much as I could, considering the chain around my neck. The chain felt a little odd though, like I could sort of see that the chain around my neck was loose, but it felt like it was tightly wrapped around. I looked up at the almost-dawning sky, and tried to focus on other voices. I could still hear Daniel’s voice, and it didn’t seem like he was too far away. I yelled out, over and over again, but nothing happened. Daniel’s voice didn’t seem to respond. Something felt wrong, very wrong. Of course, when something’s wrong, what do you do? Yell, and yell, and yell, till someone else does something.

Well, something did happen. I couldn’t yell anymore. No, literally. After my unth yell, all I could do was a muffled sound. Like something was wrapped around my mouth. I tried moving my mouth, and it could move properly, but my yells came out as muffled sounds. Something was really wrong. And it had nothing to do with my throat.

Okay, I did what anyone would do. I totally panicked. I was totally thrashing around, when something came loose. I think. I felt something like a wire on my arm, but when I looked at it, there was nothing here but some particles of dirt. I started feeling up the wire, until it got to my neck. I pulled at it, and it came loose. And the entire setting in front of me disappeared. And I found myself in a helmet. Or at least my head was.

I pried off the helmet and I was in a lab. A freaky dark lab with little green star-like lights flashing at me. I looked around and noticed Daniel sitting in a weird dentist chair not far from me, wearing a similar helmet…

Where were we?

Emily

I don't know where I am now. After so many turns and twists down the endless dark halls I have finally lost count. My legs finally crumple beneth me and I double over, catching my breath. The hall echoed with my breathing but thankfully, I cannot hear the malicious melody anymore. The ground is cold and hard against my burning cheek. Such fear I feel ...

I hear loud footsteps from the ground. It grew louder and closer to where I was laying and with it, I hear frantic breathing. Then a sharp pain sprouted from my side.
"Ahwwwah!"
I rolled over in time to watch a dark shadow vault over me to land unceremoniously on the ground.
"D-daniel?"
I waited at a cautious distance but there was no answer from the still shape on the ground.
"Jenny? Jonathan?"

Then I heard a soft tinkle and an eerie glow from far down the hall behind me.

twinkle twinkle little star ... I found you

Something cold grabbed my hand ... and pulled ...

I had a hard time falling sleep, listening to Tom's snores. 'Note to self,' I thought grumpily at 2AM. 'Never listen to people's snores when you try to sleep... You can never stop.' Suddenly, a soothing note rang through the air.

Hush now...

'Hm?' I wondered. 'Is someone else still awake?' As a opened my mouth to whisper the question, another soothing note sounded through the air.

Be still love, don't cry...

And slowly, sleep overtook me.

I opened my eyes to the clouded grey skies, lying on the cold, hard ground. I sat up and gazed around at the hard, worn walls around me. I stood up and stared at the dark corridors around me - a maze?

Tinkling laughter echoed through the dark. I turned quickly just in time to see a girl in a red dress skip around the corner. 'Jenny?' I thought groggily. I stood up and slowly walked towards where the girl had disappeared, supporting myself using the wall. 'Why do I feel so weak...?' I wondered as another tinkling laugh echoed through the silence.

Sleep like you're rocked by the moon...

I remember the sound of breathing before I fell asleep. It was a soft reassurance that everyone was still there. After a few miscellanious mayhaps, one learns to look for little signs.
Later that night I woke up and a prickly feeling made me feel that something was horribly wrong. I rubbed my eyes to rid myself of the sleep only to find myself not wearing my pajamas. I was in a school uniform and lying atop a multitude of desks in an apparently deserted classroom.
"Ah... heck no..."
I get up stiffly and crawled off the desks. The classroom was plain, sterile, and dark. The sound of my shoes against the floor echoed loudly in the empty air as I walked towards the door. I was glad to find it unlocked and opened it slowly, afraid of what I might find on the other side. To my relief, the hallway was empty and dark as well, the same as the classroom. It was better than I had expected so far but I dare not call out as I inched my way down the hall.

twinkle twinkle little star
how I wonder where you are

The tune of the song reached out and wrapped its sinister innocence around me.

where are you my little star?

Another dull sound reached my ears and I realized ...

The humming of the song came closer to where I was frozen against the wall.

I hear your life calling to me
twinkle twinkle little star
how I wonder where you are

...the pounding of my heart is going to give me away.

(a/n: I was in a horror story type of mood today so ^^)

"Joy." Magic, frogs, and a love triangle with Emily in it. That's EXACTLY what we needed. Then add the blown up rooms, and the slumber party, and you've got a hollywood hit. Okay. okay. okay. I'll stop with the movie stuff, but seriously...this was getting out of hand. Finally...Nick got up from the ground, and we all stared at him. Krissy took a book out of nowhere, and threw it at Nick's head. There was another POOF, and Nick was now Nick the Frog. Krissy brought out a cage from nowhere and stuffed Nick in. She shut the door of the cage and we saw there was 5 locks on it. She locked each one, and looked at us witha quizzical look.

"So, what now?" asked Krissy. "I heard something about a slumber party?"

We had nothing to say. Today we went from hiding in bushes, to throwing rocks at guards, to meeting Flouffy, to eating a great dinner, to seeing three rooms being blown up, and now Nick the Frog, and Krissy-the-one-head-over-heels-in-love-with-Emily. It was a long day.

"How about we just get some sleep?" said Jenny. The best thing i've heard all day. I noticed that she was rubbing her eyes, and most of us were trying to stay awake. Most of us nodded, just Stephanie was looking a little stressed, and Nick was croaking loudly.

It turns out we actually went to sleep. Or at least most of us did. All the guys were in Tom's room, while all the girls...were in Stephanie's room. We sort of had to corner Krissy so she wouldn't ...M-AHEM-O-AHEM-L-AHEM-E-AHEM-S-AHEM-T-AHEM AHEM AHEM Emily. I woke up and opened my eyes. I remembered the ceiling of Stephanie's room was pink...so why were we still staring at stars? It was barely dawn, and there was still a few stars out. Where were we?

"Where ARE we?" I heard a voice in the distance. It was Daniel. I looked around, and i was the only person around, except for Daniel who was probably about 40-50m away from me? What happened? Where were we? And why was i chained to the ground like a Dog? Like...Flouffy?

Emily

(a/n: i realise that i have been posting very frequently .. lets see how long this can last XD)
"Damnit where did that toad go!!" came a very loud and very familiar voice.
Suddenly, a human shaped blur turn the corner really quickly then pause.
"There you are!!"
The frog/toad/Nick's eyes widened (I presume in fear) and it jumped into my shoulder causing me to be very distracted in getting it off to not pay attention to the speeding blob hurling straight at me. Till it was too late of course.
"Gotcha!"
"You got more then the frog." pointed out Aaron. "Alot more."
I opened my eyes to find a girl staring at me curiously. I realized who it was.
"K-krissy?" I mumbled.
"Kyahh!!! Emiii-chan!"
I was in for a major snuggle-age. But was saved by a loud croak. The frog glared angrly at Krissy and caused her attention to focus back on the animal in her hand.
"Ah yes... you my dear Nick are not going to lay a single sticky toe on MY Emily."
Oh dear god someone help me.
"Whaat, so that frog IS Nick?!" Daniel, dear Daniel, you really need to clue in more often.
"Daniel, dear Daniel, you really need to clue in more often." stated Krissy.
"... get off me?" I think I may have caught the repetition syndrome that Daniel and Jay Jay are so prone to.
My statement was ignored as Krissy began her story.
"Wsll it all started after the incident at the magic school and obviously I had fallen in love with my savior." she looked at me fondly as she said it and I looked away. "I was in love to a point that I found as much information as I could on her, which was fairly easy seeing as I was student council president and have ultimate access to the school intranet, and followed her all the way here. The situation on Nick, well... I found him lurking around and he so dimwittedly admitted that he was stalking my Emily. So I turned him into a frog."
The frog croaked again angrly and Krissy rolled her eyes at it. The frog made a bid for freedom but Krissy quickly chucked it at the wall causing Nick to transform again.
"Ah, unfourtunately HE kept moving and therefore the spell was not completely done correctly causing him to transform when hitting something hard."

JayJay

In a world, where guest rooms are blown up... in a land where girls were going to have a slumber party...there was a hallway. A hallway where our seven friends met their worst enemy. Coming to a hallway bombarded with frogs near you, JayJay Production Company Incorporated Inc. TM. presents...GAY FROGS!

Okay. That's what was running through my mind at the time. So lemme get this straight. A frog. Went to Emily. She hit it onto Tom's face. Poof. Nick and Tom.

Okay. That was messed. But it's the truth.

"NICK?" I yelled? I didn't quite remember him. Actually, i think i only know his name. Even now, as i stared into his face giving him the where-in-the-world-did-you-come-from look, his face seemed vague. I turned around and gave Daniel the plan's-changed-look. He replied with a nod, and we decided to deal with the problem at hand.

Daniel was the first one to speak up. He asked the question we all were wondering. "Nick? Why were you a...frog?"

Nick didn't seem to reply, he just stared at Emily is vague, dazed eyes. Either like a drunk man in love, or a possessed person. Either way, it was bad. I glanced over at Stephanie, and it looked like she was going to have a temper tantrum. It was a bad situation. I looked into my bag-of-everything (mentioned in Bonanza Beach) and brought out a 3 meter long rope. I glanced at Daniel and nodded. He seemed to understand. I shouted at the top of my voice as i ran toward Nick and Tom with my rope as Daniel brought out his markers. Wait...markers?!?

I glanced back at Daniel and the fact he misunderstood me, and i accidently collided with Nick. I knocked him over, and there was another poof. Even through the poof, i heard Daniel say "Oh, THAT'S what you meant."

As the smoke was somehow blown away. (I don't know how smoke can be blown away in a hallway, but who knows?) I realized that there was a frog sitting on my foot. I had landed on Tom, and he seem really dazed. Nick was gone, and there was a frog staring at Emily on my foot. Okay this was screwed.

Not only had i just turned Nick back into a frog, Daniel had misinterpreted my look, and ruined our plan. He ruined my plan on drawing on everyone's face with a marker when they were asleep. Okay. Something was seriously wrong with this house. And this situation.

(a/n: WOW. I wrote a lot. Ehehe. I was bored. At school. Ehehe. )

Emily

(a/n: well i am running short on time so please excuse the mispellings and the crappyness)
We were all walking through the multiple hallways to Stephanie's room. Everyone of us was at least somewhat cheerful except for Stephanie. She looked like she is marching towards the gallows. It was mildly quiet till...
"ribbit"
"Ahh a cute froggie!!!" squealed Jenny.
Oh dear god, please let that not have been true. I turned slowly.
"RIBBIT!" said a frog really close to my face.
"Jenny get that thing away from my face!!!" I flailed my arms and knocked the frog from Jenny's hands. It went flying through the air. Only to land on Tom's face.
"Wahh?"
"Ribbit?"
Then something really weird happened and Tom along with the frog were obscured by a puff of sparkly smoke.
"Is this another one of your really expensive stage props?" Inquired J.J.
"...no."
"It's frog prince!!" concluded Jenny. "But that means Steph's fiance just kissed a frog ... eww... cross species dating..."
When the smoke cleared there was not one but two people.
"They multiplied!!!" I exclamed, they meaning Tom. But the second wasn't Tom ... it was Nick ...
"Does that mean that the frog is gay?"

JayJay

I was gawking. True…I’ve been to slumber parties and all…but never shall I ever go to one quite like this. I was pretty sure of what was going on in Jonathan’s head. And Tom’s. And Stephanie’s. And I have no idea what was going in Jenny’s head when we said that. Oi. This was going to be a night. In this huge mansion, the three guest rooms we were going to sleep in, was suspiciously blown up…and then Jenny spoke of her wonderful idea. It’s a catastrophe in the making.

But why did the room’s have to be blown up? Something…wanted us to sleep or…”sleep” in that room together. I gave Daniel the you-know-what-I’m-thinking look, and he returned with a i-know-what-you’re-thinking-and-we-should-totally-do-it. I thought for a moment on whether or not someone would have a wrong idea, but hopefully no one would be able to read my thoughts. I returned his i-know-what-you’re-thinking-and-we-should-totally-do-it look with a okay-we-meet-in-the-kitchen-at-23hours look. Then we both looked at the group with a let’s-do-it look. I seriously hoped no one could read my thoughts. It would ruin my entire plan.
Stephanie glanced over at us, but her stress levels were seriously too high to deal with me and Daniel’s looks of…oddness. She finally thought for a moment…and spoke.
“Okay. Slumber party it is. Three rules. Tom sleeps in his room. Daniel and Aaron sleep in the corner of the room. Jonathan sleeps outside of the room. The rest of us…will sleep in the remaining 98% of the room.”

At this plan…me and Daniel exchanged looks again. I gave him the…okay-change-of-plans-look-,-we-meet-in-the-kitchen-as-soon-as-this-is-done look. He merely replied with a –okay- look. He thought for a moment, and gave me another look. I-sincerely-hope-no-one-can-read-our-looks look. Unfortunately, someone did. I just didn’t notice him at the time. Tom glanced our way, but immediately focused on Stephanie. Unfortunately, he read our looks well. He knew too much.

Emily broke the silence. “Slummmmmmbaaaaah Parttttteeeeh!”

Frog

Ribbit ribbit.

Where am I?

Ribbit ribbit.

Why am I here?

Ribbit ribbit.

This sound... It has come to become like my heartbeat. It seems as though I've been hearing this sound for years... For all I know, I could have been. It's hard to keep track of time...

Ribbit ribbit.

Great sounds boom around me, like big heartbeats. The sound is familiar, but all that seems so long ago... Big figures surround me for a moment, but they move away all too quickly. It is all hazy, but something catches my eyes. She is the one. The one with the shining eyes. I must get to her.

Ribbit ribbit.

But why? Why am I here?

Emily

(a/n)you do know that we still don't know of steph's reason on why she needed to leave GVH and return to russia...O_O we can all be in a movie!! GVH goes hollywood! XD roflmao)
I rolled my eyes at the utter misfourtune that we have suddenly come across. Like seriously, why do we, the GVH group always have such stupidly coincidential things happen to us? I seriously need to find more lucky friends of atleast get a good luck charm ... a REALLY strong good luck charm.

"So where are we goning to sleep now?"

We all turned our heads to face Stephanie. I believe that she had just gotten another wrinkle in the middle of her forehead.

"Well ..." she rubbed her temples.

"I know!" Jenny exclamed so suddenly that Jonathan jumped a bit and brushed elbows with Tom, elicting glares of challenge at each other.

"What is your brilliant idea Jenny?" Stephanie looked up a bit hopefully at her savior.

"We can all room in Steph's room! It's gonna be like a slumber party!"
And I felt that the world seemed to crash around Stephanie.

Aaron

My eyes glanced back and forth between everyone as a big silence hung over us. The first one to speak was Jonathan. "That... Wouldn't be that bad," he said, looking shiftily at Stephanie.

Tom coughed, noticing Jonathan's actions. "Stephanie actually has a room upstairs. It's her house, after all." Jonathan's face was unfathomable, but no one wanted to know what he was thinking. Suddenly, a huge crash came from somewhere in the house.

"What was that??" Daniel exclaimed. We all rushed to investigate. Stephanie took a sharp intake of breath as we examined the mess left behind of what was once 'the three guest bedrooms.'

"Well..." I said slowly, forcing a smile on my face. "I guess we're going to have to sleep somewhere else!"

No one suggested a place as Stephanie's ragged breathing of disbelief echoed in the silence.

Emily

Everybody gasped in surprise when Stephanie's true reason on why she needed to return to Russia was revealed.
"So you're a..a....!" exclamed Jenny.
"Wow, we never figured that you had to leave for that. We always thought that you just had enough of Jonathan's advances." Jay Jay kicked Daniel in the shin for being so stupid and saying stuff out loud without thinking.
"Ow...what? I was only telling the tru...!" Aaron quickly stuffed a spoon of icecream in Daniel's mouth almost shattering the front teeth in the process.
"Mmmph!"
"Yes, yes tastes good no?"
"Uhuh..."
Okay, I'm getting very tired of this (his/Daniel's) stupidity and utter brashness. Who in their right mind can put up with this guy for over 48 hours without sleep? I guess Jay Jay can, but she is not always in her right mind seeing as she is a very young alcoholic. But seriously, if I could survive another 24 hours then I would break a world record.
"Hey Steph, where are the rooms?"
"Rooms?" asked a zoned out Stephanie. "Oh you mean the guest rooms?" They are down the hallway and on your left." she waved her hand in the general direction tiredly but was interrupted by a maid.
"What? Oh yeh, I forgot, some of the guest rooms are under renovation so there are not enough rooms for everyone to have their own. Also there are some other guests in this mansion so...in total there are three available rooms."
"WE HAVE TO SHARE?!" yelled Jay Jay.
"Sadly yes, Katerina here will show you the way."
"Who's rooming with who?"
"Well there are six of us and three rooms... but there are three guys and three girls..."
I stopped in my tracks. "You mean... one of US will have to go COED?!"

"A screeeam??" JJ slurred, bumping around the cabin. "I think SOMEBODY's had too much rum! Ahahahahaha-daaaaaaaaaa!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's a new daaaay!!" shouted someone from below. "No doubt, an action-filled day must be started off with a specialty of mine: sake!"
Obviously, JJ had woken up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sorry," Stephanie panted slightly from the tiring swim, "we had to go and check something."
"You had to check something?"
"No," Emily said. "It was more like they followed me when I was trying to do something."
"You had to do something?" JJ repeated. Jonathan suddenly sprang out from the group of the others and leaped towards Stephanie.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Say Nick, yah feeling lonely?" Jonathan had appeared again and took a seat beside Nick.
Nick edged away, having heard rumors about Jonathan being gay.
"Well if you need some one to help u out then you can always come to me, we bachalors must stick together."
"Uhh sure, okay."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ummm... I call double dare with Jonathan," Daniel said, deciding that he wouldn't have to hug or kiss anyone if he was partnered with Jonathan since noone wanted the letch near them during such a game.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where'd she get the bottle from?" Aaron whispered, leaning towards Nick's ear. Nick shrugged and watched as Daniel and Jonathan opened their mouths and began to sing... Very off-tune.
"Remember," Jenny called over the laughter at their singing, "you need to do a dance too!"
At this, Jonathan immediately began waltzing around with Daniel. Daniel, being steered by Jonathan, got flustered and began messing up the words to the song. Finally, they finished and sat back down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aaron...I..." started Emily. But she never finished that sentence.

JJ threw a pillow in between the two friends. So basically, the two friends kissed the pillow, instead of each other.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JJ looked around the room. She really couldn't decide. So stood up, spun around in a circle and pointed at a random person. Stephanie.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who are you?" asked Aaron.

"Me, i'm a witch. A witch over memories and magic. And it seems like you have stumbled into my maze. Maze #283, Bonanza Beach. Welcome, Aaron."

"A witch?" replied Aaron, stunned.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What's your name?"
"Lenora, got it memorized?"

"MY RUM!! THIS BUFFOON HAS GOT TO MY RUM!! WHY IS MY PRECIOUS RUM WASTED ON HIM!!!" howled J.J. from a distance like a wounded animal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ahh my beautiful lilly was going to practice on Aaron so she may not look like a fool when she places those soft lips upon mine. And by practicing on Aaron so he may gain experiance with Jenny. Ahh I understand it all."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This leaf, according to my research, contains many healthy properties and is good for healing wounds, as well as curing flus, colds, and sinus problems."
"How can it cure sinus problems?" Aaron asked, puzzled.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Please use complete sentances and proper grammer and actual words next time."corrected Reuab.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JJ smiled and leaned in near Aaron's ear, hand covering so that it looked like she was going to tell him something noone else could hear. "Seee-" she said, "creee-eeet."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And...where did you get those ingredients from?" asked Jonathan.
"Do we REALLY need to answer that question?"asked Stephanie.
"No, ma'am." replied Jonathan. "We don't need to waste that lovely voice of yours."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Jonathan seems to have suffered a bite from a very contagious monkey. We think it might have had rabies. He seems to be attacking everyone and it's not that kind of attack, but, well, the other one. Help us! Please come back us soon before Jonathan steals our... Well, you know... It starts with a 'v'? Rhymes with 'imagine'... Find us as quickly as possible!! - JJ, Jane, and even Aaron.
PS. If you come and find us, beware of Jonathan.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the four ran towards the smoke, they were momentarily delayed by JJ. "I found a ten dollar bill!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the cabin, JJ continued to move the button closer and closer to the small house on the map. Finally, the dot arrived in front of the house. "Ooooh..." JJ said, her eyes growing wide. She then threw the remote behind her, adding, "I don't get this game. Now then... I'm gunna go outside and scout around again."
Opening the door, her eyes grew in surprise at what she saw infront of her.
"Daniel!" she cried. "What are you doing in that big turtles mouth? Why are you infront of my cabin suddenly?"

--GVH Setsuna

Emily

(ooc//ok in the end ...please don't actually have me so INTENSELY involved with a tree. It's just ... too weird. *splinters*)

"..." I find it very hard to believe that THE Stephanie, the SAME Stephanie that we knew would fall so easily for a pretty boy like Teddy? Theodore? Timothy? Well, you get what I mean. Strange how she would irresposibly fall for pretty boy what's his name. But I admit... I didn't repeat pretty boy for no reason, he good lookin' but not as strong and down to earth as my "tree".

"Aren't you two under the age of consent?" Jonathan looks a bit pale to me as he stared hard at Stephanie's feet.

"Not here we aren't, and by next year we are getting married." T whatsit's name answered a bit smugly. "Your friends are welcome to attend the grand ceremon-"

BAM!

(O_O) (O_O) (O_O) (-_-) (O_O) (O_O) (!?)

"Nice uppercut Steph." I pointed out as what'shisname went flying into the wall.

"Thanks."

Stephanie straightened up, brushing off invisible specks of dust from her clothes then turned towards the rest of us with a heavy sigh. "You see ... I'm actually ..."

Stephanie

"...are you flirting with my fiancee?" inquired Tom in an indecipherable tone.

Before Jonathan could respond, a scream pierced the sudden stillness of the dining hall.

"GENETICALLY MODIFIED OHMYGOD! YOU TWO ARE... ENGAGED?" JJ cried in ALLCAPS.

"No!" I barked.

"Yes!" he barked.

"!" went a potted tree in the corner, wobbling from the extreme tension in the room. Emily appeared in the doorway and ran (as well as possible in crutches) over to it and tried to soothe it.

I ran a hand over my nosebridge. "Sit down and I'll explain."

There was a 'fwoosh' of air as everyone sat down at the table as quickly as possible. If not for Emily, the tree would have toppled over.

"Watch it!" she barked, petting the tree's smooth, unblemished bark.

I sighed and began my story. "It all happened last summer. Let me first disclaim that I was young and foolish, and Tom was stunningly drunk...actually, stunning and drunk."

Tom smiled.

Emily

...an army of maids standing in two rows stretching at least a couple hundred meters down carrying silver platters.

"Uhhh...Steph...how rich are you exactly?" asked Daniel. The maids entered the room in such a manner that it seemed like it was choreographed with the efficiency of a soldier and the grace of a dancer.
Everyone ignored Daniel's question as their attention was drawn to what was concealed in the silverware. Then a scream pierced the stillness of the dining hall.

"I scream for ICE CREAM!"

Stephanie waved her hand and every maid lined up to present to us all the delicious cold treats that they had.

"Chocolate swirl, chocolate mint, french vanilla, mango, strawberry, dark cherry, and green tea!" I have never seen this many different flavors of ice cream in front of me at one time. Although I don't like sweets, I can't resist this. The yummy stuff is just parading itself in front of you in silver plates how can you not resist this. And the flavors keep coming. I can just picture Jay Jay calculating how much this may have cost.

"Steph, if you have so many different types of ice cream then why aren't you... I mean, how can you sustain your beautiful figure?" stammered Jonathan as he made gestures with his hands trying to express what he meant.

"Jonathan..."

JayJay

"It's not an uber expensive stage prop? Drats." Man, i had to stop making these dumb money quotes. They were making me look...well...dumb. But besides me being dumb was Daniel. That's right, we were the couple-who-usually-say-reaally-dumb-and-random-stuff. Yeah, i'm half expecting Daniel to say THAT aloud anytime now.

Well, we were all walking on the small, tiny, petite bridge, and we actually finally got across without any deaths, injuries, or retarded comments. -pheeew-

Well, the streak of no random questions had finally ended. I just had to ask! "Hey, Tom...are you going out with Stephanie?"

There. I said it. I could almost just feel Steph's glaring eyes fall upon me. But before i died from that, we arrived at the dining room. And holy crap was it big. It was nearly three times as big as the one in my house. And boy i thought THAT was big. Dark scarlet red curtains blocked the sunlight outside. The dark cherry wood flooring was absolutely stunning, $5,000 to maintain a month, at least. The wonderous display of well chosen artifacts stunned me. But what was the awesomest were the 1787 gold plated knives, and the 1788 silver plated spoons, and the legendary 1789 platinum plated forks that were given to a begger by Queen Katheryn Bristol herself.

"Hey look! It's the 1787 gold plated knives, and the 1788 silver plated spoons, and the legendary 1789 platinum plated forks that were given to a begger by Queen Katheryn Bristol herself!" said Daniel.

"Man...don't we think alike." I walked towards Daniel, and patted him on the back. No point getting mad at him, really.

Suddenly the door burst open, and 7 heads turned around to find...

To be continued...(ehehe^^ just for the heck of it)

Stephanie

I stepped back to allow Tom to pass. Around the Hall, camera and effects crew were stepping out of the artfully crafted shadows.

JJ sighed in the direction of Flouffy, rubbing her hands as if in anticipation. Jenny sighed as Tom pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to her. I sighed to watch Tom flirting so shamelessly.

"Tom, let's get this place cleaned up. We can do introductions and explanations-" I shot a look at each of my friends, "over a meal in the dining room."

"Sure thing, beloved," he answered.

Five heads snapped towards me even quicker than when I called for Flouffy to heel.

I walked across the bridge to where the animatron, Flouffy, was paused in mid-motion. The extremely realistic slobber had stopped dripping, at least. "This crevasse is actually quite deep; it's not a stage prop, so tread carefully," I called over my shoulder.

Aaron

"CUT!"

Everyone turned their heads in the direction that the intelligent voice had come from, landing their eyes on a high balcony. A young man stood up from his seat and removed his sunglasses, looking down at us. He was well-built and I heard the girls sigh at the sight of him from beside me. Rolling my eyes, I turned and noticed that there were lots of people suddenly hustling in the Forbidden Hall.

"What is this?" I asked, turning towards Stephanie.

"It's a movie set," she replied matter-of-factly. "My grandmother is a famous actress, didn't you know? The Golden Butterfly, she's known as. Her real name, of course, is Jine Fan."

Emily cast a shifty eye at the three-headed dog. "What about Flouffy?"

"Oh," Stephanie said with a regal air, "It's all mechanical. It was very expensive to construct, being high-tech and all. It's very life-life, don't you think? Its memory chip is very advanced and it has taken to know me well and obey."

Jay Jay's eyes glew as she turned towards the machine. "Expensive, did you say...? Exactly how much money are you talking abou - ?" She was interrupted as the group turned to face the director coming towards them.

"Jeez, Stephanie... As if you haven't played with that dog enough..." he complained unprofessionally as he rubbed the back of his neck. Looking at the others, he said, "Oh! I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? I'm Tommy, Tommy Winston."

JayJay

(OOC:// Iono if this is just me. But i seem to be posting a lot. Mainly cause i'm really bored in CALM. Well, post peoples ~ !)
Okay, maybe the pit WASN'T 7 feet deep, and maybe i was exaggerating about the depth, but at least i wasn't exaggerating about the three headed dog. At least i hope i wasn't.

So i was out of the hole by the time Stephanie yelled "HEEL FLOUFFY!" Yeah, that was HER DOG? ...DOGS?!? Man, today has been such a weird day. But then again, my day's always weird.

So there was this akward silence. Even the dog(s) stopping drooling. About time too. It looked like Jenny was just sick of the shower that she was getting. Jonathan turned off his dune-buggy, and we just stared at Stephanie. So i guess she realized that we were trespassing. But it was for a good reason. I think. Would "just cause" be a good reason? I don't knoow.

I mean, she must've missed us right? I mean, at least she wasn't yelling at us by now. So she should be happy right?

There was only one person who could break the silence now. "Hey Jonathan, can i get a ride in that thing?" Daniel spoke, quite innocently in fact. It was almost as if he didn't notice the dead silence that hung above us. Mainly the dog. Dogs. Man, do i refer it as a he or she? Or, is it plural or something?

Well, i just stood there. Stood there and waited for someone to say something intelligent. Which thereby excluded Daniel.

Stephanie

There was a dog. With three heads.

I smirked and let the scene before me play out. Ah, sadistic is my middle name.

Just to make sure that we all learned a lesson about trespassing (I still had no idea why my schoolmates had attempted to enter my property!), I used my foot to dig the dusty soil out of a 30-cm-high divot in the rock. According to my calculations, JJ would be heading this way soon enough.

Aaron and Jenny were scrambling to reach the bridge and get away from the chasm at the same time, which did not produce efficient results.

JJ and Daniel were... having some fun together. Suddenly, JJ broke away, screamed in my face, and ran. At least, she tried to. She fell into my 30-cm-high hole, and began to flail.

Predictably, Daniel came around to help her. Honestly, just because 30 cm is relatively big compared to JJ, it doesn't mean that she needs emergency assistance, Daniel-provided or not.

I tried to point out that JJ could get out on her own quite fine, thank you very much, but suddenly the rumbling peaked and the door behind us exploded.

Okay, I exaggerated. Something, rumbling like a lawnmower, shot through the door and towards the bridge.

Jonathan waved hello from his seat in the dune-buggy. He drove full-speed towards the cliff, probably aiming to jump the crevasse or something equally Gryffindor-ish.

I gaped. Talk about an unlikely hero.

Not that we would need one. I decided to take charge - they were in my house, anyways.

"Flouffy!" I yelled. Eight heads turned toward me. Phew, I'm not sure if it was just me, but it was turning out to be quite a party in there. "Heel, girl!"

JayJay

(OOC:// WTF!?!?!?! TREE???) (Stephanie Edit: For goodness' sake, people, it's 'OOC', not 'OCC'. Whatever blog you saw 'OCC' on had a spelling error. 'kay? =D)

Okay, this was a problem. Something was rumbling, and it was coming from somewhere. Just not from Daniel's stomach, nor my need of money. On the other side of the so called flimsy bridge, i saw Aaron and Jenny. And a three-headed dog. Okay, that was weird.

"Hey! What are you doi-" i screamed at Daniel as grabbed at my belt. It took me awhile to settle down and realize that he was trying to get the walkie-talkie. He began talking loudly and told Aaron and Jenny to cross the bridge (of death, so it seemed).

Honestly, if i was in either Aaron's or Jenny's postition, i would've ran right across the bridge with my eyes closed, and hoped that someone would pay for my medical expenses, but that's just me.

I looked at Stephanie's stunning face (not like she would be stunned that we were here) and totally screamed "RUN!"

I totally forgot about the three-headed dog. Yeah, it was weird, it was scary, but most of all, it could probably eat us. Three-at-a-time. With not enough people for seconds of course. I ran towards the exit, but tripped and fell into a random pit.

That's right. A random pit. A random pit that OBVIOUSLY wasn't there when me and Daniel entered. Which means someone had dug it. It was too high for me to get out by myself. It was quite frustrating.

Daniel came by the top of the 7 foot pit, and waved hello. "Are you alright?"

I seriously half expected myself to reply "...alright...alright...alright..."
But i didn't. I was a little stressed with the situation at hand.

Aaron

Pushing the tile past our heads, I pulled myself up first and looked around, gazing at the intricate designs on the high ceiling.

"Little help here..." a muffled voice came from behind me and I suddenly remembered where I was. Turning around, I leaned forward and helped Jenny get up into the vast hall. "Whoa," she said in awe. "Where are we?"

"No idea..." I replied, gazing around the empty hallway for some signs of guards or dogs. "Oh right! We'd better put the tile back in place..." Bending down, Jenny helped me as I lifted the tile and set it back into place. Suddenly, a large glob of liquid sloshed down Jenny's front and she fell back in surprise.

"Ugh! What is this stuff?" she asked, feeling the substance in her hand. A large shadow fell upon us and we both looked up to see a huge gaping mouth of teeth... Make that three huge gaping mouths of teeth. Stunned for a moment, I quickly grabbed Jenny's arm and pulled her with me as we ran for our lives. Obviously, we wouldn't be able to outrun it, but hey, we could try, right? In the distance, we could see an enormous crevasse in the ground.

"Uh oh..." I panted as we reached the large pit. "Now what do we do...?" Jenny gasped and clutched at the front of my clothes, eyes widening as the three-headed dog came closer and closer...

Stephanie

"You're an idiot," I admonished the guard in front of me matter-of-factly.

"But, Miss Lishakov, he threw a rock at me! That classifies as a high-level threat!"

Mother of Pearl, I'm surrounded by idiots. "So you shot your gun."

"Yes, Miss Lishakov!"

"All right, which way did they go?"

"Which way did who go?"

"...The one with the little eyes and the one who threw a rock at you."

"Oh!" the guard exclaimed. "Them!"

I wanted to get to the nearest tree and bash my head against it.

"That way." He pointed towards a door to the manor.

I almost choked on air. 'Almost' being the key word. It wouldn't do to actually show emotion in front of my subjects, now would it?

THE FORBIDDEN HALL...

...read the big, flashing neon sign over the door.

"No! They can't have been so desperate or blind or MORONIC as to enter THAT door!" I tried to reassure myself. It didn't work. Such are the friends that I keep.

The guard looked nervous. "Miss Lishakov, perhaps we shouldn't follow them..."

"Shut up," I answered curtly, and headed into the house.

The Hall is not a hall. I wish I knew which of my ancestors made up the label so I can spurn them for it.

In fact, it is a natural crevasse cutting straight through my property as a result of glacial movement.

Only the most desperate or blind or moronic people can imagine it as a hallway. The ceiling is visible; the floor is not. It's a sheer 300-metre drop with a tiny rope bridge across to connect the West and North Wings of my manor.

"...That is one deep crevasse," said a male voice, just as I opened the door. Daniel, I thought.

"You keep speaking my thoughts out loud." That was another voice - I'd recall it anywhere. Jenny. Jenny Jiang.

I stood back a couple of feet to watch them. They didn't even notice. I hadn't seen my friends since summer began, and it felt nice just to be in their company. Not that I'd ever admit that out loud!

Daniel leaned over the edge of the cliff and repeated, "That is DEEP."

"DEEP.. deep..." the canyon echoed back, and Daniel's eyes widened.

He called back down into the crevasse, "HELLO!"

"Hello!...hello..."

"IS ANYONE DOWN THERE! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?"

"...all right... all right..."

"Okay, just checkin'!" he said, giving a thumbs up sign. Then he glanced over his shoulder at us. JJ was sitting on a rock, shaking her head back and forth in an 'I pity you' manner. It was almost fond.

"Hey! Stephanie!" cried Daniel.

JJ's eyes widened too. At least I thought they did. Maybe. It was hard to tell, as one can imagine.

"STEPHANIE!"

Then everything started rumbling, and it was not Daniel's stomach.

JayJay

The large scary figure was actually a dog. The sad thing was that we, or at least me, was afraid of that dog. It was a big, scary, vicious, frightening, horrific, unimaginably scary, dog.

“Oh look!” Daniel whispered, “It’s a big, scary, vicious, frightening, horrific, unimaginably scary, dog.”

I kicked Daniel in the shin hoping to gain myself some time, and tried to run away. Unfortunately, I kicked the ground next to his leg, tripped on a branch, and fell flat on my face.

Daniel started talking again, “Maybe in attempt of gaining yourself time, you probably tried to kick my shin but you kicked the grou-“

I yelled at him to start running, but it was way too late. Someone had already noticed that we were here. And by someone I mean a person, not a dog. It seemed like a guard had noticed us hiding in the bushes, and was running towards us. “Hey, you kids! Stay where you are! You are trespassiin-“

Daniel threw a rock at the guard, and continued running. We saw a clearing amongst the trees and we ran towards it. Man, what was it and people copying my words, and interrupting sentences…anyways, we hit the clearing, and ran towards the nearest door to the house. We pushed open the door together, and saw this huge hallway.

The Forbidden Hall.

I was speechless. Okay, maybe not.
"Holy moneybags"

Stephanie

I rolled my eyes at the scene before me. Those guards reacted at just about anything! Really, how annoying.

The moment I snapped my fingers, the dozen or so armed guards stood to attention.
Taking quick stock, I counted two boys in the trees beyond. One of them yelped.
Two thoughts suddenly occurred in my analytical mind.

1. Her voice was too high to be a girl's.
2. I recognized these two trespassers.

"What are you doing here?" I exclaimed.

One of the guards looked at me. "Miss Lishakov, there were several trespassers. These were the ones we caught, but I assure you - the guard dogs are out looking for the others."

I heard a bark from the vicinity of the West Wing. "Call of your dogs and put down your guns," I ordered briskly. Jonathan looked like he was about to wet himself. I almost snickered at that image. Jonathan's wet pants... ahah.

The guards were looking at my smirking face with something resembling anxiety. "Miss Lishakov?"

"Huh? Oh, yes, go back to patrolling. Make sure those dogs don't attack anybody. Oh, and - get this girl to the North Wing infirmary."

Then it was to the matter at hand. I sighed. "All right, ruse is up, Emily, Jonathan. Who else is her-"

An alarm sounded.

"Miss Lishakov! Someone tried to access the Forbidden Hall through the trapdoor!" A guard informed me in a panicked voice.

"Lower your tone with me, guar-"

A gunshot sounded from roughly the same place that the dog's barks had come from.
'Uh-oh,' I thought. I didn't dare say it out loud, since obviously everything had to have just the timing to interrupt my speech today.

JayJay

"Ack." my foot got caught in some shrubbery. In the distance i heard a small crash, as if someone was accidently pushed because someone was trying to get away and thus fell off a tree branch and onto the mossy ground.

"Did you hear that?" asked Daniel, "It's sounds like someone was accidently pushed because someone was trying to get away and thus fell off a tree branch and onto the mossy ground."

... I had nothing to say. After Aaron's and Jenny's walkie-talkie went dead, I was crawling around the mansion in thick, disgusting, shrubbery. Me and Daniel were trying to find a better entrance to the house. We just hoped that Aaron and Jenny were okay. I mean the guns were really scary. And really expensive. They were top model sniper guns, and some assorted golden shotguns with platinum bullets. Some very nice equipement.

"Did you hear me JJ?" asked Daniel.

"Only too well. I know you too well too." i replied in a whispered tone.

"Well, i have a plan. Come over here, i'll tell you. First I'm going to ru-urk."

We were once again interrupted by a strange figure that was standing no less than 6 meters away from us.

Aaron

Panting, I scanned the dark tunnel with my flashlight and watched the glow fade out into the darkness ahead. Sighing, I turned my eyes as Jenny slowly turned around and gaze cautiously at me.

"You okay?" she asked. "We're lucky we found that strange cellar door in the middle of nowhere... If not those guards would have seriously gotten us."

"Can't say I'm not okay since we were really lucky, but I wonder when we're going to get there..." I replied as she turned and we continued trudging along the deep underground path. "Well, too bad we can't get any signals here for our walkie talkies. I guess we'll have to wait until we get up, hm?" I stretched with a more cheerful tone. There was a muffled crash from above in the distance and tiny dirt particles fell in dusty clouds as the tunnel shook.

There was a moment of hesitation, then Jenny said, "Wow... I wonder what's going on up there... Oh hey! There's finally some stairs over there!" Hurrying forward, we clambered up the stairs and I focused my light on the trapdoor above us.

"Ready?" I asked as Jenny nodded. Together, we pushed open the trapdoor and pulled ourselves up, bathing in the bright light of day as we examined our surroundings.

Stephanie

A muffled crash interrupted my thoughts. I put down my copy of Dante’s Inferno and stretched like a cat. The overstuffed armchair looks like everything else in the manor – large, opulent, pretentious, and from an era long past. This one was from the mid-1600s, apparently. Priceless. Who cares? I used a fingernail to pluck a hole in it.

I was bored.

The antique grandfather clock read 9:42.

‘Well,’ I thought, ‘might as well investigate that crash, Stephanie.’

Leaving the library, I walked down several long corridors lined with paintings of my long-dead ancestors.

I passed the ballroom, the dining room, the servant’s quarters, the garage, and the Forbidden Hall – and I hadn’t even left the East Wing yet.

Once I descended the stairs into the Entrance Hall, I nodded to my butler and signaled for him to open the front door.

Emily

Now what kind of trouble can Jay Jay gotten into? I stretch from my cramped position sitting on the wide branch of a tree. Is she drunk already? Probably, I mean guns... suuure, and I'm a boy. I inch my way forwards on the branch and part the dense green foliage to look down on the courtyard below.

Well... steal my sword and skin me alive... there ARE men with guns down there. Who ever thought of this brilliant idea to sneak into Steph's house is going to die once I get outta this tree. A sudden rustling behind me drew my attention and guess who I just had to get stuck with. You guessed it, Jonathan, and he looks like he saw a ghost.

"G-guys... with BIG guns," He gestured franticly towards the guards, rustling more leaves as he shook.

"I'm not blind you know." Honestly, how did I ever get stuck with this guy in my tree.

Then the hairs on the back of my neck tingled and I turned back to look at the guards below. Apparently they found something interesting to talk about. A guard looked up and pointed in my general direction while his buddy raised his gun. Hang on ... WAIT DON'T FIRE!! I turned and warned Jonathan, and my repayment? A kick in the face as Jonathan attempted to scramble off the branch. My last thought as I plummet to my almost certain death? I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!

JayJay

Crouched down underneath a pile of bushes, I was totally muttering to myself. It already felt like i wasted money on a pair of plane tickets to Russia. So far, ever since i got to Russia, i've been crawling under bushes, trying not to get noticed.

"It wasn't a waste of money, it's for Stephanie's sake." whispered Daniel from behind me.

I elbowed him in the ribs.

"Oh shuddap, that was my hard earned cash. And I paid for you too!" I sighed, took a breath, and continued with my rant, "like, can't we just waltz into her house and say surrrpr------gun." My rant was stopped short and i heard a click of a gun.

"Surprgun? Man, i know you're weird and all, but you don't have to go inventing words like that." whispered Daniel.

I elbowed him again, and took out my walkie-talkie. I pushed down a button and whispered "Wolf-girl, AarBear, JT, Jon. Target has maximum security. I repeat, maximum security. It's going to be a toughie. Be on your toes. Birdie, out."

Daniel gave me a confuzzled look. I merely pointed to the dozen people walking around a huge mansion. Guards. With guns. But man, was that a big house or what. It would definately be worth a fortune. Suddenly i heard a click from the walkie-talkie. Me and Daniel bent down to listen.

"Urgent, urgent. We've been spotted. Escaping now. Run for yooour liv- "
The line went dead.

SUMMARY OF ACTUAL MANGA

Meet the new exchange student from russia, Stephanie.

Winter break approaches and during the winter dance, J.J. spikes the punch. Jonathan tries to grope Stephanie but is awarded with a slap across the face.(soo Inuyasha) Aaron, Jenny and Emily were making absolute fools of themselves. Daniel set off a firecracker in the girl's washroom (Jonathan's idea). All things that happened above were under the influence of the booze (except for the slap). When asked for a confession Aaron, Jenny, and Emily admitted to the crime that they did not do (under the influence of booze ^^) . J.J. admitted to her crime. Principle, not knowing who or what to believe, sent all seven of the students to a camp in a nearby National Park.

The bus, while traveling on icy roads, skidded and rolled into the ditch. The bus driver (Fahim) was drinking ( sure has alot of drinking in this story) and ran away into the forest claiming he was a bear. (...) They were stuck in the mountain peaks of Mistletoe Mountain. (duh). Daniel remembers that he has the key to his uncle's lodge at the mountain and the group hike the little way into the forest to the cabin.
Here is where the drama begins and new love is blossoming as the friends grow closer over the vacation.
