Ian woke up to the annoying sound of his phone ringing. He groaned and picked up the phone, seeing that it was his manager, and answered it.
"What do you want, Devin?" He asked in a groggy voice.
"Well, good morning to you too, sunshine! So, how are things?"
"Cut the bull. What's going on?"
"Well, you know how you keep on saying that you deserve a vacation?"
"Yeah..." He said, excitement building now, his irritation forgotten.
"Well, I got you one! You're going to an island where there will be no paparazzi to ruin your fun and all sorts of people there to mingle."
"Ooh! Sounds like fun! When exactly am I going?"
"Get dressed and get ready, you need to be out of the house in 2 hours." With that, the line went dead. "Yahoo!" Ian said, jumping out of his bed. He went straight to his dresser to pick out some clothes. It took him a while, but he finally decided to wear his faded black skinny jeans and a dark t-shirt, then rushed to the shower. He would get the accessories later. he took his shower, then got out and got dressed. He blow dried his hair, then put flexible gel in it so that he could have his purple hair in long spikes that don't stand, but lay near his face(like his picture). He then put on his deoderant and cologne and brushed his teeth. He went out to his room again and grabbed his favorite leather jacket. He then started packing.

Later on, he was on the road, his suitcase in the trunk of his car and his radio blasting Avril Lavigne. He was on his way to his manager's house, and stuck in traffic. He cursed under his breath as he waited. After a while, he made it to Devin's house and was on his way back out.
"We're taking my car to a private airport so that no one sees you or follows you."
"Will there be other famous people there?"
"This place is made for famous people." Famous people who need to shape up. He thought. You see, Ian was a bit of a diva and was always getting caught by paparazzi at bars, totally shit-faced. It was giving him a bad rep, so Devin was sending him here for some quiet time to get the bad news cleared away, and hopefully Ian would learn to be better while he was gone. They made it to the private airport, and Ian boarded the plane, waiting for the rest of the people to board so that it could take off.

Nori snuggled down into the warm confines of his down comforter and mumbled some incoherent words. Suddenly his phone began to ring out. He sighed and picked it up and looked at the name: Chika Yuuta. His older brother.
''What.'' He said more then asked as his brother said something to some one around him most likely.
''Noririn get your ass out of bed! Your getting sent off to a vacation island.'' He yelled.
''And will I be alone?'' He asked the slightest bit of hope in his voice.
'' 'fraid not, lil bro. Other stars gunna be there.'' Chika said in a humored tone.
''Then I have nothing more to say except Im not going. Goobye.'' He said about to hang up.
''Norio If you dont go then Im sending you to Uncle Jonie!'' Chika yelled.
Nori remained silent and Chika to that as his surrender.
'' I'll pick you up in a hour.'' He said in a smug tone and hung up.
Norio glared at his phone and sat it on his bed side table. He got up and walked over to his dresser. '' What a jack ass forcing me to go to a island with strangers. And then saying if i dont go he'll send me to uncle Jonie's!'' he said in a grumbled tone. He chose a black top the stopped before his belly botton, a pair of dark denim washed short shorts, and some knee high plaid high tops. He ran to the bath room and took a nice long bath and then got out. He put on his black and yellow batman underwear and the his short shorts. then he applied deoderant and slipped on his shirt which hung loosely off one shoulder. he pulled on his high tops and then went to his room. he pulled on a set of black bangles, fingerless gloves, a locket necklace, a pad lock belt, and some bluee suspenders. He then began to pack his bags. Soon a horn was honked and Nori grabbed his bags, phone, mp3 player, and pink sunglasses and running out side.

At Airport

''Bye Bye Noririn!'' Chika called before he drove off.
Nori just rolled his eyes and got his bags and walked over to the only other person he saw. He didn't walk over to the male because he wanted to talk but he guessed being with him would be better then being alone.
He lifted his pink shade from his eyes and sat them on top of his head. He sighed and looked around wondering who else would come on this little joy ride.
(his outfit

Ian turned to the boy sitting next to him. He was his age, and pretty cute. "Hi. My name is Ian, what's yours?" He said, trying to start converation. He didn't always like talking to people he didn't know, but he might as well, because not only would they be stuck on the same plane for a long time, but they were going to be on the same island too. He was a little nervous to be talking to someone new, so he sounded really hyper when he talked.

Nori Looked at the male next to him with a lazy gaze, pondering if he should talk to him or not. He was pretty hot in Nori's eyes so he decided he should at least carry out a conversation with then male who had introduced him self as Ian.'' Well Hello Ian, I'm Norio, But you can call me Nori or Noririn.'' He said in a playful and flirtaious tone a small smirk playing on his lips as he leaned his head on his hand.

Ian smiled, hhearing the flirtatious tone in his voice, on the verge of a giggle, but he held it back. "Okay. I think I'll call you Nori, since that's the shortest and easiest." He crossed his legs and looked at Nori. "What are you on this plane for? My manager says that I need a vacation, which I've been begging him for and he hasn't given it to me, until now that is." He stopped himself, realizing that he was rambling and hogging the conversation. He smiled warmly at him. "So, what're you here for?"

"Keiko get up this instant, you terrible lazy child it's a wonder that you get anything done...", Keiko's mother went on and on like this. It was four in the morning and she had Keiko up till midnight the night before, but this was how it always went for Keiko her mother said jump, and she asked how high. She rolled out of her bed still in the clothes she had on the night before, "You have a photo shoot this morning, then you've been invited on a trip with a bunch of celebrities. I can't believe it maybe we can get you into some movies, wouldn't that be wonderful", said Keiko's mother with a dreamy look in her eyes. She had always lived vicariously through her daughter, "Yes mam", was all Keiko could sleepily manage to say as her mother practically shoved her in the shower clothes and all. After the ice cold shower Keiko came out shivering like a frightened Chihuahua. Her mother threw an outfit at her a light blue plaid sundress, Keiko began to dress, she was beginning to enjoy the thought of being away from her mother for awhile. The chauffeur pulled up as Keiko's mother stood behind her combing the knots out of her hair, the maid would pack for her while at the photo shoot. The photo shoot was as usual Keiko trying her best to not show everything and the photographer and her mother only wanting her to flaunt more. Little did Keiko know that her mother was hoping she would learn something from the celebrities, to not be so uptight and naive. As she finished up the shoot as some half naked, video game character, her mother through a meal shake at her and the rushed on their way to the airport. "Now remember to make friends and maybe we can get you into some exclusive things", that was all Keiko's mother ever thought about was how they looked to to the paparazzi and to become more famous. The chauffeur opened her door and carried her baggage for her, Keiko's mother babbling the whole way about how she should act around the celebrities. When she stepped into the door of the private she noticed there was already someone there, she thought she had seen him before but wasn't really sure, turning she waved a sleepy goodbye to her mother and finally sat down in one of the seats. She looked over at the guy, she knew she had seen him on TV and in the tabloids. She sighed and put her earbuds in her ears listening to the latest J-pop sensation.

Hibiki watched the terribly annoying woman that had dropped her daughter off drive away, he didn't know how the girl could stand that woman he had heard her stupid chatter all the way from his car. "Hibiki are you in there?", asked Colette his manager he turned and smiled, "Yes", she gave him an annoyed look, "Okay then what did I say", she asked. Hibiki looked at his laptop, "That your going to ship me off to some stupid island till everyone gets over the fact that I didn't go to my mother's funeral. Frankly Colette, I don't care what they think and their stupid to judge me on that fact, they would have swamped me there if I had gone", he said still not looking at her directly. Colette shook her head she knew why he hadn't gone but the paparazzi was having a field day with it, if he had gone they would have made a stink how he had disturbed his mother's funeral with his "celebrity" status. He was damned if he damned if he didn't, he never caught a break and his "I don't give a shit" attitude made it even worse. As he walked up the steps to the plane she wondered if this would do him any good, to realize that the world was not as stupid as he thought it was. Hibiki stepped into the cabin of the plane he saw that one guy with the purple hair, and the girl with the banshee for a mother, "This is going to be a long flight", he said as he sat down.

Nori Giggled and tilted his head a little.'' My Nii-san said i have been a bad boy and that coming here would set me straight.'' He said his cool features falling into a adorable pout as he laid his head on the air plane seats. his stomach churned as he thought about how high the plane would be. he tried to hide the fear of heights he has had for so long. Though barely he kept up his cute act and then smiled at Ian.'' Soooo...'' he trailed of thinking for a second.''Are you dating anyone?'' He asked playing with his fingers.

He listened reapectfully during Nori's story, and then the last thing he said. This time, Ian couldn't hold it in. He giggled. "No, I'm not dating anyone. Why, do you know someone that might want to date me?" He said, half teasing, half flirting. He was glad that this boy had sat next to him. It was fun to finally find someone he could flirt with, and not get torn apart from paparazzi. He looked up as two more people got on the plaane and sat in their seats. He then turned back to Nori, waiting for his reply.

Nori puckered his lips and put a slender finger to them as he thought. He tilted his head up and nodded.'' I think I do.'' He giggled. He had noticed that two others had gotten on the plane, but he took no part in acknowladgeing them, for he beleived them weren't deservent of his time. He looked back at Ian and smiled as he put his head in his hands and watched Ian closely, admiring his good looks.

Reiko was about to take her first bite of the delicious pancakes she had made when her doorbell rang. She stared back and forth between her fork with food and the door. The ringing grew insistent and with a disappointed sigh Reiko put down her fork and went to open the door. Opening it she glared at the person that had interrupted her beautiful moment. "What?!" Felix blinked suprised at her angry snap but pushed her aside and entered her apartment with a flourish. Reiko slammed the door and went back to the dining room. As she did her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
"Mmmmm. Dear, you've gotten better at cooking. I could almost say I'm in heaven." Said Felix as he munched on HER pancakes.
"W-wha... W-what are y-y-you doing?"
"Oh! That's right! I came here to tell you to pack your bags honey! You're going on vacation! Isn't it wonderful?" He said as he finished the last piece of pancake.
Reikos left eye twiched slightly as she stood frozen, staring longingly at the now empty plate. "May you rest in pieces and digestive gases." She whispered. Suddenly she smiled and started to jump up and down excitedly. "Really? Vacation? Where? Why? For how long?" She gasped. "I have to pack my things!!!" She scrambled out of the dining room and went to get ready.
Felix tsked and shook his head. "That girl needs it bad."

============Airport============

She waved rapidly at the retreating car and yelled in a sing songy voice, "Bye Felix!!! Don't think I won't kill you later on for eating my pancakes!!!"
Felix honked and Reiko took that as an 'I understand'. She turned back to the airplane she was about to board with a huge grin. Slowly the grin turned to a pout. Why does it seem like eveything is bigger than me?, she thought to herself. Flushing that thought down a blood vessel, she smiled again and climbed aboard. Her eyes rounded out as she came inside. "Cool!" She jumped once then stopped. Looking around she spotted two guys sitting together. Then she noticed a girl and another guy. She tilted her head to a side curiously and muttered, "Where have I seen these people?" She tilted her head the other way and thought some more. After a few minutes of that she shrugged. "Eh, whatever. Ill remember eventually." She smiled and waved at everyone. "Hi hi people!" Then plopped down on the first available seat. She hummed a show tune that had gotten stuck in her head then angrily whispered, "Gahh!!! Get out of my head!" She smacked her head with her palm and then went back to humming the same tune.

Ian smiled at Nori. "Well, that's nice. I've been single for soo long." He laughed. "So what about you? Are you single?" He hoped he was. This guy was funny and cute. He watched Nori, looking into his wonderful blue eyes. He wondered what he thought of him. Maybe he was just teasing him, and he really wasn't interested. But, he wouldn't think of that. So, he just looked at him and waited for the answer.

Nori Smiled.'' Yep I'm single too, and it sucks.'' he said pouting slightly. he looked at Ian and laid a gentle hand on his arm. He looked down at his lap and then at Ian again.''Im really glad your on the trip, and Im really glad your single. I think we'll get along perfectly!'' He chirped happily, for some reason having the urge to hug Ian.

Irina was in the middle of a photo shoot with one of her co stars of the movie that she was going to be in, who was also one of her best friends, when her phone rang. She looked at the ID and saw that it was her manager, Ryan, and held her hand up. "Stop, I need to take this." She muttered standing up and putting the phone to her ear, "hello?"
"Irina! Your leaving?"
"Leaving?"
"Yes, on a vacation!"
"A vacation? Ryan, I'm in the middle of a photo shoot, can't this wait?"
"No, the plane is leaving soon, you need to leave now!"
"What!? No, I'm not leaving on some stupid vacation."
"We'll drop you if you don't go."
She growled and hung up. "Kaede," she called to her friend, "I have to go, do you think you'll live without me?" Kaede smiled, and nodded, and the photographer resumed taking pictures.
Irina left and found a car waiting for her, "oh how convenient." She muttered, stepping into the car. The ride to the airport was silent and boring, but she survived, she climbed out of the car and walked over to the plane.
She noticed there was already a bunch of people there, also that she was still wearing her costume from the photo shoot, (the one in the picture, girl with black hair, the blonde girl is Kaede). Sighing, she sat as far away from people in the plane and sat there twiddling her thumbs.
Frankly, she thought the one boy that she passed was kind of hot. The one that wasn't already flirting with someone, though he probably wouldn't like her, love was elusive, at least for Rina. She felt repulsed by the two guys who were flirting, though she knew that she'd have to be nice to them since they'd be on an island together for a while, and she felt kind of bad for the girl sitting by herself, but what could be done, right?

"Awh, it's okay!" He put his hand over Nori's. "I'm sure we'll both find someone." He said and winked at him. He saw a girl pass and give them a dirty look. He frowned. He could not stand homophobes. He just ignored it and turned back to Nori. I think that we'll get along too! This is going to be super fun! We can stay close when we get to the island." He smiled brightly at him. "We can plan stuff and go to fun places and meet all sorts of new people."

Nori blushed lightly as Ian put his hand over Nori's own."I'm sure we'll both find someone." Ian said and winked at Nori causing him to blush even deeper. He saw Ian look past him and frown, Nori looked and just barely saw a girl with a respulsed look on her face as she looked at them. He rolled his eyes and looked back at Ian. '' I think as long as I'm with you I'll have fun!'' he said happily smiling at Ian.

He smiled at Nori as he blushed. "Awh, don't be so embarassed." He took his hand off of Nori's sensing that he might be uncomfortable. "Yeah, we'll have a blast! We can go to the beach and swim, or we can find somewhere else to hang out. We should make plans!" He was getting excited, glad he made a new friend and a new crush. Had Devin known this would happen? No way, that's impossible.

Nori frowned as Ian removed his hand, it had felt warm on his cool hand. He pulled his hand back and sat it in his lap.'' Ohh if there's two people rooms, we could share a room!'' He said standing and then sitting on his knees. Suddenly there was a ding and a kind womans voice came over the PA system and did saftey rules and all that jazz, and then told everyone to put seatbelts on they would take off in two minutes. Nori widened his eyes but quickly masked the fear with a fake sadness.'' I can't swim.'' he said sadly looking down.'' I never learned.'' He said looking at Ian hoping he wouldn't laugh at him.

"Ohh! We could be roomies! That would be super fun!" He said excitedly. Then, he saw Nori's eyes go wide and then his explaination. "I can teach you to swim, if you want. And we don't even have to go very far in the ocean. We could just wade in. And if you need a swim suit, I think I packed a couple extras." He smiled at him. Then he remembered the fear that he had seen in Nori's eyes. "Are you sure that's it? You can tell me anything, you know." He gave him a reassuring smile.

''Yeah I'd like if you could teach me to swim.'' He said softly. He had brought his own swim shorts but he wanted to wear some of Ians. "Are you sure that's it? You can tell me anything, you know." Ian said giving Norio a reassuring smile. '' Uh...yeah thats a-'' he stopped as the plane began to lift off and his eyes got wide again.'' No, I'm kinda...a little scared.'' He said hating himself for being so valnurable.

"Awh, It's okay!" He said, giving him a little hug. When he pulled away, he asked, "You want me to close the shade so you don't have to look? Or are you scared that something is going to happen to the plane?" He asked, closing his shade anyways. He put a comforting hand on Nori's shoulder, hoping that something made him feel better. "Nothings going to happen. I promise."

Nori smiled slightly as Ian had hugged, but it didn't hardly as long as he wanted it too. He watched as Ian closed the shade. Ian laid a hand on Nori's shoulder and Nori leaned his head down and nuzzeled the hand. he sighed, ''I just don't want the plain to fall.'' he said in a scared tone as he looked at Ian.

"It won't fall. And even if it does, I'll be with you the entire time." He smiled at him and took his hand off his shoulder and stroke his head. "We'll be fine, I promise. Let's talk about other things. It'll take your mind off of it. and if you're really scared, you can hold my hand." He stopped stroking his hair and held out his hand.

Nori blushed happily as Ian stroked his hair. He leaned his head into the touch and closed his eyes.'' Your really sweet you know that.'' He said smiling at Ian.'' Ya talk about other things, What do you do for a living?'' He asked as Ian put out his hand. He slowly grabbed his hand and smiled softly.

Ian closed his fingers around Nori's hand, entertwining theiir fingers. "I act, what do you do?" He didn't know about Nori, but his stomach was full of butterflys and was doing all sorts of flips and turns. His heartbeat was going crazy, and he wished that he had the courage to say any of this. Any other crush he had was very small and usually went away before any of this happened. He was surprised that these feelings were growing so fast. Maybe it was because they hit it off so well. It was a mystery.

Reikos eyes suddenly widen and she peeks at all the people behind her. She looked like one of those kids that turned on their seat to sneek a peek at the people behind them. Actually, that's exactly what she was doing, except in this case she was a young woman and not a child. They're famous people! Hmm, I really need to watch TV more... She looked at each one closely and with a nod assessed that they were all very good looking. She smiled to herself and turned back in her seat. Having figured out the puzzle, she decided that now would be an excellent time to read a good book and hear some great music. Taking out a few books from her bag she tried to decide which one to read first. Finally she settled on reading City of Glass. She had, after all, read the first two books and was practically dying to know what happens next. Turning to the first page, she begins to read.
