(P.S. I'm not making fun of people in Rome or has family in Rome or people that have lived there. I just wanted to make a story that can't happen. Just something out of the blue, you know. Something funny, exciting, stuff like that. So if you feel affended by any of this, I'm sorry, I'm not making fun of you, I just wanted and enjoyable story.)

Chapter 1: Unexpected guests

"Issa, come on! Summer won't last forever!" I shouted at my cousin Issa who stoped at a window to look at a display. It was the new vintage store at South Center. We were shopping there for more summer clothes. "Come on Issa." My other cousin Sabrina said. "We're supposed to be shopping for Suh- meerrrrr clothes. Not old lady clothes." Issa didn't take her eye off the window. She was staring at the couderoy bag on display. She loved bags like those. "I need that bag!" She said and ran in. Me and Sabrina ran after her. We already saw her pushing though racks when we got inside the store. She ran from rack to rack and me and Sabrina were trying to stop her so we had to run too. First left. Then right. Then left. Then right. Left. Right. Left. Then left. Wait, did I go left again? I turned right around the corner and ran into somebody. I fell to the fllor. So did the person I ran into. "Ow..." they said. My head was spinning but the person I bumped into was a boy... a teenager. His voice sounded like I heard it before but I couldn't figure out who it was. I rubbed my forhead at tried to stand up. But couldn't. The boy helped me up said," Are you OK?" His voice was gentle and full of concern. No. Considering the fact I bumped into you. I thought. I took a few seconds to get my head back together and looked at the boy and almost fell down again. The guy that I ran into, that helped me up, that asked "Are you OK?" was Kevin Jonas. The Kevin Jonas. I stared. No words to say. At all. This was amazing. This was Incredible. The Kevin Jonas. I nodded. Then shook my head. "Uh, yeah, fine, great! You?" I said. I couldn't think of anything else to say. "Uh, Yeah I'm fine." Kevin said. I had to say sorry. "I'm, uh, sorry, um, um, K-K-K-" I tried to say"Kevin" but he finished for me. "Kevin." he said stretching out his words. "Yeah uh..." I trailed off. Suddenly, Sabrina and Issa came running over. "I heard you guys run into each other. Are you ok?!" Sabrina said outta breath from running. "Ahhh.... Your mom is gonna get SO mad at me if you're hurt. Cuz I'm supposed to watch over you guys!" She panicked since Sabrina was the oldest by 3 weeks. "Haha." We're fine." Kevin said. Issa looked down at Kevin's feet at looked all the way up to Kevin's face. she clinged on to the rack next to her to keep her from falling to her feet. Sabrina looked confused at Issa and the looked at Kevin also. She dropped her mouth open. "You're... you're..." Issa began sliding closer and closer to the floor. "Kevin."Kevin said extendeing his arm to help her up. Issa looked at his hand at then at Kevin. Hand. Kevin. Hand. Kevin. She smiled and finally grasped his hand and he pulled her up. Sabrina, still staring at him. was so in shock she couldn't move. Kevin bent down to her height and patted the top of her head. "Nice to Meet you too." he joked and used two finger to push her jaw back up. Then another surprised happened. "Kevin! Where in La La Land are you?!" We heard Joe Jonas shout. He didn't mind since no one else was in the store but us. "Here guys!" Kevin shouted back. "Kev- Kevin?" I heard Nick Jonas say through the racks. Finally Joe and Nick came jumping through racks. "Ah, Kevin, we finally found you." Nick said outta breath like Sabrina. "Don't go into a store without us!" Joe scolded. "Dude. I'm the frikkin' first born I'll go anywhere I want." Kevin insisted. Nick looked down and and shook his head. I think he noticed us standing here and said, "Sup." One simple "Sup" and all 3 of us were clinging onto racks to stop us from falling to the ground like Issa did a few minutes ago. I grabbed onto Sabrina's shoulder to get myself up. But my feet felt like they just were stinged by a JonasBug! Joe and Kevin turned to face us and Joe said, "Hey." Me and Sabrina were still clinging onto the the racks but Issa let go and fell to the floor. Joe was like her hero. She admired him soooooo much. My eyes were filling up with tears. I noticed that Issa and Sabrina's were too. We couldn't hold it in. We burst out into tears and cried and cried.

Chapter 2: Get Ready to Cry Again

Joe, Kevin, and Nick looked confused. So each bent down to each of us. I wiped the tears off my face and saw Joe neeling right in front of me. "Hi?" he said kinda nervous not knowing what to do to make me stop crying. "Did I say something wrong or something?" Joe asked. I took a deep breath and said, "No. We were just a little surprised to see you guys here." I answered. He nodded his head in understanding. I looked over to Sabrina and Issa. Issa's eyes were glued on Kevin. Sabrina looked so tense, she was a statue! Kevin, Nick, and Joe helped us up. "Cling onto the rack again and get you your tissues. You gonna cry again." Kevin warned. We each took a deep breath to let out all the tensity. Issa looked aroundthe store. "Oh. I didn't know we were still in here." She said quickly. "Sabrina and I looked around too. "Oh!" Sabrina said. Kevin, Nick ,and Joe looked around too. "Wait. What were we doing again?" Nick asked. "You were gonna tell us something." Sabrina reminded him. "Oh yeah!" Kevin said. "Anyway. We would like to invite all 3 of you..." He stopped. Me, Sabrina, and Issa were already slipping again to the floor. Joe chuckled. "To Europe!" Nick finished. Uh-oh. Tears. Happiness. Energy. Meter was rising again. Issa let go first. She let go of the rack and fell to the floor. She was crying her eyes out. It didn't take long for Me and Sabrina to do the same thing either. Sabrina took a jacket from the rack and wiped her eyes with it. I blew my nose into my shirt. But Issa was laying in her stomach in the floor and cried hard. Kevin, Nick, and Joe did that confused look again. "Is that a Yes?" Joe asked. Issa jumped up and grabbed Kevin waist. "Thank you! Thank you!" she wimpered through her tears. "Uh, uh huh?" Kevin didn't know what to do but hugged her back. Me and Sabrina got up and pulled Issa away from Kevin. "Issa! Let go!" I said. She finally let go and I dove for Kevin. I threw my arms around Kevin's neck and hung there. "I don't know about you but I'm gonna hug Nick." Sabrina said and clutched Nick waist hard. "Okie dokie then!" Issa said. She went over and hugged Joe softly. Man, this is so AWESOME!

Chapter 3:Plane Ride to Europe

Our parents seemed Ok and excited to know that we're going to Europe with the Jonas Brothers. Even though Issa's parents hesitated a little bit. The plane ride there was, um, OK. Even though people were snapping photos and taking videos on their cell phones of us. It really got on my nerves but i got used to it in about and hour or so. "This is so cool!" Sabrina said. Kevin was slowly drifting off into a sleep. "Those guys that made fun of me at school," Issa said to the ceiling of the plane and pointed, "IN YOUR FACE! I"M HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE WITH KEVIN, JOE, AND NICK JONAS! WHAT NOW?!" Kevin woke up from Issa screaming to the planes ceiling but Joe found it pretty funny. Joe laughed and said, "Nice, very, nice Issa." Issa looked at him confused. "What?" She asked. "You're talking to the ceiling." He told her. Issa nodded. "Well you're kinda quiet, Crystal." Nick said. He was sitting diagonally from me. I glanced at him and nodded my head. I was tired. I could tell he was trying to start a conversation with me. "So..." he tried to start. "So." I said sarcasticly. I proped my elbow up on the arm rest and rested my chin on the palm of my hand. "Passengers, we are arriving in Rome shortly. Just hang back a few minutes and enjoy the rest of your flight." The pilot said on speaker. "Finally." Sabrina said. Issa laid her head and the headseat. "I'm SOOOOOOOO sleepy!" she complained. "Don't worry. We're almost there." Kevin told her. I heard the Ding! again. The pilot was gonna say something. "We're now arriving in Rome. Please collect all your belongings and enjoy your stay." He said. I pulled my carry-on from under my seat and place it on my lap. "Please stay seated." The woman said on the speaker. I was the first off the plane i watched my footing down the stairs. I finally got to the bottom. I looked around. I swear, Rome is the MOST beautiful place ever.

Chapter 4: ATTACK OF THE CUPCAKES!!!! ((Yeah. You read it right) Sabrina helped me write this)

We were walking to the hotel since it was not far from the airport. The luggages were hitting the bricked streets as we walked. Suddenly, a pink object fell from the sky and landed on Nicks curly head. "He- Wha- Uh?!" Nik studdered. He took it off his head. It was sticky and had pink frosting on it. We all knew what it was. So do you right? It's in the title of this chapter. "A CUPCAKE?!" All 6 of us said at the same time. "That's weird." I said. Pink frosting was all over Nick's brown curls. "Here." Issa said. She pulled a roll of toilet paper out of her purse and handed it to Nick. Kevin stared at it. "You keep toilet paper in your purse?" He asked. Issa nodded. "Yeah. you'll never know when you're gonna need it." She said. "I also have hand sanitizer, Cleanex, purfume spray... Stuff like that." She recited rummaging through her purse. "No surprise." I said. Sabrina added,"Yeah. She gets it from her mom." Issa looked at her like she's lying but you know she's really telling the truth. Joe shrugged. Issa was still rummaging through her purse when more cupcakes fell from the sky. A chocolate cupcake with blue frosting fell in Issa purse. She shreaked. Joe chuckled. But then a red velvet cupcake fell on Joe's perfectly white left shoe. He looked down and kicked it off. The crushed cupcake flew off his shoe and landed on Sabrina's butt. She wiped it off and it left a red mark on her blue jeans. The cupcakes came down more falling all over us. We ran and ran to the hotel as fast as we can. Joe ran faster then us he made it to the hotel and burst open the door. We collasped on the lobby floor. Some people walked by and stared at us as the walked off. Kevin checked in. "Ah, Mr. Jonas?" the guy at the counter said. Kevin was still out of breath so he nodded. He saw the cupcake frosting and said,"Oh. Got caught in the rain huh?" Sabrina set her luggage down and said, "It was raining cupcakes. Does this happen often?" The counter guy set the pen down and said, "Nah. Yesterday it rained M&M's. And Thursday it rained Cups of pudding. Yeah. People's windows weren't very happy." I made a confused look. I didn't have to look but I knew Kevin, Joe, Sabrina, Nick, and Issa were making the same face. "Okay.... Thanks." Nick said. We picked up our luggages and made our way to out rooms.

Chapter 5: Night in Europe

The rooms looked like any normal hotel room. If you were blindfolded and taken to this hotel room, you'd think you were back in Seattle or the Las Vegas Strip or summin. Sabrina, Issa, and I shared a room. While next door Kevin, Nick, and Joe shared their room. We just had to get our friday night ON! I curled my hair, Issa feathered her hair, and Sabrina... Well, she likes her naturally straight. We met the boys in the the lobby downstairs. "Oh. You guys look AWESOME!" Joe commented giving us a thumbs-up. "Er- Thank you...?" Sabrina said unsure what to really say. "I love the hair." Nick said edging closer to me. I smiled. "Uh," I looked down at my outfit. I wish I could change it. I was wearing a normal tee and jean shorts with beat up converse. "Thanks." I finished. Nick smiled back and offered his hooked arm. "Don't worry. I love the outfit too." he added. I tried not to but I giggled a bit and hooked arms with him. " I looked behind me. Kevin and Sabrina were hooking arms and Joe and Issa were hooking arms. I smiled and turned back around. "Let's rock 'n roll baby!" I heard Joe say. I heard Issa laughed. We made our way outside and started walking down the street. Then I thought of something funny. Sabrina-Kevin... Sevin... Seven! I stopped myself from laughing but made a snort instead. "What's so funny?" Nick asked me. "Sabrina plus Kevin equals..." I was laughing so hard I couldn't finish my sentence. "seven." I whispered. Nick smiled but soon started chuckling himself. "What's so funny? I heard Sabrina and Kevin." Kevin said. "Nothing. Nothing." Nick said. I think Joe and Issa heard cuz they were laughing too. Or maybe they were laughing at something else. We went to a really fancy resteraunt whos name I couldn't even pronounce. They gave us this we're soft mushy stuff neither of us didn't know what it was. I didn't want to be the first one to try it. So I asked ," Sabrina, darling," I tried to be nice, "would you like to try it first?" Sabrina gave me a look. "Erm...." She said sarcasticly. "NO!" I leaned back. "Uh..... I'm sorry." I apologized. "Nick? Joe? Issa? Wanna try the- this stuff?" I asked. "No thanks." they all said at the same time. We all looked to Kevin. "You guys are fraidy-cats." he said. he took his fork and stabbed the jellyish stuff on the plate. He moved his fork in the air to make it jigggle and he finally stuck it in his mouth and chewed on it. He gagged and got up from his chair ran to the bathroom with his hand to his mouth. And thank goodness we didn't hear what was going on in the bathroom. "Excuse me." I called a waiter over. "What is this?" I asked. The waiter looked at the plate and said ,"That, my good lady, is the finest cow fat in Europe!" Did I hear that right? I asked myself. "Thank  you." Nick said. "I think I gonna puke." Issa said. Sabrina fake gagged. "Now, that's just nasty." she said. "Just thinking about it makes me wanna puke." Kevin came out a few minutes later and said, "I really don't wanna know what it was." He was holding his stomach and he still looked a little green. "That's too bad." Joe said. "We were just gonna tell you it was.." He cleared his throat and said in a Italian accent, "Thee feenest cow fet in Europe!" Kevin shook his head. "I wasn't expecting that. It could have been anything else, but it had to be, just had to be COW FAT?!" He said. Sabrina, Issa and I giggled a bit. Then Nick burped. EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!

Chapter 6: The Tank Is Coming!

Kevin got some bed rest that night. It wasn't the perfect way to start out our trip but it did kick off some excitment. All 5 of us surrounded the bed to make sure he was OK. He was still a little pale but I'm sure he'll live. Nick's phone rang so he took it out in the hall. We waited in silence for him to come back inside. The phone call lasted for about 30 seconds. He came back inside and sat down again. "Not to be nosy or anything," Sabrina said. "but who was that?" Nick put his phone back into his jacket pocket. "Yeah. Who was that?" Kevin asked from the bed. To tease him, I said, "It's probably his girlfriend." Issa laughed. Then Kevin coughed and drank his water. "Are you gonna tell us or sit there?" Kevin asked ruder then expected. Finally Nick spoke. "That was Frankie." he said. Sabrina ran over and sat next to him. "Frankie?! Why couldn't I talk to him?" Everyone including me was looking at her. "Sabertooth, you're almost 14. He's only 8." I said. Sabertooth is her nickname. "Yeah Saber, that's kinda weird." Issa said. Sabrina gave us a dirty look. "I never said I like him!" she said. "Ok, I do like him, but age isn't important right now. And I'm the oldest girl here so I get to like whoever I want!" she protested. I looked down and shook my head. "When's he coming?" Sabrina asked excited. Nick answered, "Um, he's off the plane right now and should be here-" Nick never got to finish his sentence because the door slammed open and there he was. The one, the only, the short, the young, Frankie Jonas! The Bonus Jonas! Frank the Tank! Yup! It was him! Though me and Issa weren't all that excited, Sabrina on the other hand, her eyes were glowing like she just saw the Jonas Brothers without shirts on. She screamed and ran over to hug him. We thought it was a little funny to see her bend over to his height to hug him. Kevin, Joe, Nick, Issa and I snickered. "Hi Frankie!" she shreaked. Frankie looked a little uncomfortable but hugged her back. "Uh.... Hi?" he said. "Oooh! I love it when you talk!" She said. Joe and Nick went over to pull her back. She let go easily. Then I realized... how's Kevin gonna feel? I think Issa was thinking the same thing. We both looked at Kevin. He wasn't pale anymore, but he was really, really, REALLY, red!

Chapter 7: Torn Between 2 Jonas' (Crystal's nicknames is any kind of gem. So if you see Ruby, Emerald, ect., that's Crystal)

I felt sorry for Kevin when we had to leave the room to go to sleep. I really did. I knew me and Issa had to have a talk with Sabrina. We got ready for bed and just before we went to bed, I said, "Sabertooth, we need to talk to you." Sabrina agreed and sat on my bed. Then Issa came and sat on then other side of Sabrina. Here is what the conversation sounded like:

Issa: Sabertooth, don't you think you kinda hurt someones feelings tonight?

Me: You really hurt their feelings.

Sabrina: Ok, Ok. I'll share Frankie with you guys. Problem solved! Goodnight!

Me: No, No, NO! That's not what we mean.

Issa: We mean Kevin. You really hurt his feelings.

Sabrina: How?

Issa: 'Cause, you seem like you like Frankie more then him. And he really got jealous. Why don't you like Kevin?

Sabrina: I do! I just like Frankie a teensy bit more.

Me: A "teensy bit"? You completely ignored him. Can't you see that he really, really, really likes you?

Sabrina: Well, I guess, but... Ok, I like Frankie more Ok?

Issa: But Frankie is so much younger then you! And Kevin is more of... your type.

Me: Come on Sabertooth, choose Kevin!

Sabrina: Well, Kevin is way older then me too.

Me: But do you think Frankie will seriously treat you the way Kevin treats you?

Sabrina: I'm sure he will.

Issa: Ruby, She's not listening.

Me: I know.

Issa: You know what? Make up your own desicion. I give up!

Me: Yeah, so do I!

Issa walked over to her bed and  tried to sleep right away. Did I mention she can get ticked off easily? True. Sabrina left my bed and turned away from me. I bet you neither of us can go to sleep that night. I bet you all of us were wondering what was going on in the Jonas room. Here's what the Jonas conversation sounds like. Frankie was already asleep.

Kevin: Man, I'm p****** off right now.

Nick: I know, man. She just likes Frankie.

Joe: (chuckle) Heh, that's kinda funny. I mean, she's almost 14, and he's only 8.

Kevin: I know! I can't believe she likes an 8 year old more then me!

Nick: Well, you are a little bit older then her.

Kevin: Oh, now your backing her up on this?!

Nick: No, no, no, no! I mean- I'm just saying.

Joe: Ok, don't get mad at me, but I kinda agree with Nick.

(Kevin looks at Nick and Joe in an angry way)

Nick: Come on Kevin, if she likes Frankie more, she can like whoever she wants.

Kevin: Fine, you're right. Goodnight.

Joe: Night, man.

Nick: 'Night.

Frankie: (SNORE!)

Any of them couldn't sleep that night either. (Just to let you know, Sabrina is not hating on any Jonas Brother in real life)

Chapter 8: Decision Time

None of us talked to each other in the morning. We all got bathed, dressed, and fed with very little communication. Here's one conversation between me and Sabrina.

Issa: (Achoo!)

Me: Bless you.

Issa: Thanks.

Yup. That short of communication. Here's another conversation between me and Issa.

(Issa points to hairbrush on the bed.)

Issa: Is that yours?

Me: no.

We were watching TelliTubbies on T.V. It felt really awkward in so many ways. "Guys. I made my decision. I decided I like Frankie more." Sabrina said. Me and Issa acted like we didn't care but we really did. "Sorry?" she said. We didn't take our eyes off the T.V. Then there was a knock on the door. No questions asked. I answered it. It was Joe. "Ok, I can't take this anymore. We're going out. TOGETHER! ALL OF US!" He said. Kevin and Nick came behind him. "Get you're shoes on guys, we're gonna eat lunch together!" We did as he said. We got out to the street. None of us were hooking arms. Nope. Frankie walked in front with Joe. I hung back for no reason. We ate at a small cafe. We thought Joe had a plan for us to get along again but he ate in silence like the rest of us. Each of us sat at single tables. We ate different things and didn't say anything. Kevin finished his food first. He didn't wait for us. He just got up and left the cafe.

Chapter 9: A Lesson for Kevin

I was curious where he was going. I was halfway done with my sandwich. I set it down on the plate and grabbed my purse and ran out the door to catch up with him. "Kevin!" I shouted. He stopped walking and turned around. He waited for me to catch up. "Where are you going?" I asked. "I'm going to another cafe. That food sucked." He lied. "No I saw you. You finished all your food. Whats the matter?" I said. He told me that he was still depressed about Sabrina. I understood. "I'm gonna teach you something Issa's  mom taught me." I said. I put my hands on his shoulders. "To carry a roll of toilet paper in your purse?" He kidded. I laughed. "No. She said being depressed about someone you used to like is just... BS." I said. He nodded. "Oh. You're right! I'll just forget she existed!" Kevin said. I shook my head. "No, no, no. I mean, you like her as a sister." I explained. "Oh." He said. We walked all the way back to the hotel.

Chapter 10: I'm SORRY

Issa went to Sabrina when she walked back in the room. "I'm sorry!" she sobbed for some reason she was crying. Sabrina hugged her back, "I'm sorry too!" Sabrina started crying too. Now this made me cry. I went over for a group hug. "You guys are the best sisters ever!" I said. I think Kevin, Joe, Nick, and Frankie were right outside our door because they came in and all of us group hugged. They weren't crying but I'm sure they felt the same way as us. "You guys are the biggest idiots I ever met!" Issa said. When Issa says that, you know she really cares. After our big group hug, we sat down with popcorn and watched "TelliTubbies: The Case of the Missing TelliToast!"

Chapter 11: Issa's Hidden Talent

The next morning, all 6 of us got bathed, dressed and fed like we do every morning. Me and Sabrina were reading a magazine when Issa comes and sits next to us on the bed with a worn out piece of lined paper. "I wrote a song last night." She said. So that's what the piece of paper was for. She invited Kevin, Nick, and Joe over, Frankie was still sleeping. She sang the song to us while the rest of followed along on the paper. Here's the lyrics (This is "On the Line" by Demi Lovato and Jonas Brothers! I obviously didn't write the song! And I'm not stealing it!!!)

 I didn't wanna say I'm sorry
For breaking us apart
I didn't wanna say It was my fault
Even though I knew it was

I didn't wanna call you back
'Cause I knew that I was wrong
Yeah, I knew I was wrong

One in the same
Never to change
Our love was beautiful
We got it all
Destined to fall
Our love was tragical
Wanted to call
No need to fight
You know I wouldn't lie
But tonight
We'll leave it on the line

Listen baby,

Never would've said forever
If we knew it ends so fast
Why did you say I love you
If you knew that it wouldn't last?

Baby, I just can't hear what you're saying
The line is breaking up
Or is that just us?
Or is that just us?

One in the same
Never to change
Our love was beautiful
We got it all
Destined to fall
Our love was tragical
Wanted to call
No need to fight
You know I wouldn't lie
But tonight
We'll leave it on the line

I try to call again, I get your mailbox
Like a letter left unread
Apologies are often open ended
But this was better left unsaid

One in the same
Never to change
Our love was beautiful
We got it all
Destined to fall
Our love was tragical
Wanted to call
No need to fight
You know I wouldn't lie
But tonight
We'll leave it on the line

We'll leave it on the line
Yeah, oh yeah
We'll leave it on the line tonight

"That's a great song!" Joe said. "We should record it!" Nick said. Yeah!

Chapter 12: Someone New Is Coming!

I figured Kevin will be very lonely because he just lost Sabrina to his little brother. I made a phone call. I invited an extra person to come here. It took only 24 hours for her to arrive. I met her downstairs in the lobby to let her know she found the right hotel. "Amy!" I said. "Hi Sapphire." She said. Amy is my older sister that's 16 years old. I walked her in the lobby and we sat down on the couch. "You like Kevin Jonas right?" I asked. "I pretty much only came here for him!" Amy replied. "Good." I said. "You're going on a date with him tonight." Amy was so happy. She jumped up and down screaming, "I'm going out with Kevin!" I finally managed to calm her down. I helped her with her bags and brought her up to our room. "FishyFlakes Girl!" Issa said. FishyFlakes is Amy nickname. Sabrina said, "Hi Ama." They went over to hug her. Ama is also her nickname. "Where we going tonight?" Amy asked. "We can't pronounce it. But I heard they have the best spaghetti!" Issa said. "Awesome." Amy said. Sabrina got up from the bed. "I'll go get the boys. I want you to meet them." She said.  She came back with Kevin, Nick, Joe, and Frankie. As soon as Kevin walked in the room, Issa ran over and covered his eyes. Joe, Nick, and Frankie didn't seem to care. "Ok Kevin, we got you a little surprise." I said. I moved Amy a little closer to him. "Duh duh DUH!" Issa sang and released his eyes. He looked at Amy. Like Sabrina, his eyes glowed as if he just saw the first guitar EVER made. "Wow." Amy and Kevin said at the same time. Sabrina edged over to me and Issa while Amy and Kevin were staring at each other. "I think they like each other." Sabrina said. "Ya thank?" Me and Issa whispered together. "How 'bout dinner?" Nick clapped his hands together once. "Alright!" We all said. We walked a couple of blocks to get there. As we arrived we were out of breath, but it sure was worth it. The resteraunt was bright, elegant, and romantic. The waiter said he had just enough tables for each of us. But that didn't mean we could all sit together. We decided to sit in pairs. It was Me with Nick, Issa with Joe, Sabrina with Frankie, and Kevin with Amy. The good part about this, is that we could all talk privately to each other. But, the bad thing was that the tables we each got were split into each four corners of the room. Heres Issa and Joes conversation:

Issa: Whatcha gonna order Joe?

Joe: I don't really know. The food plates are the size of the globe flattened. What about you?

Issa: Uh, that's a nice way to put it. But I don't know.

Joe: Wanna share the "Deluxe Grante Entree? It's crab, fish, muscules, and clams.

Issa: It sounds like a really big plate but we can eat leftovers tomorrow.

Joe: Ok.

(They order and get their food)

Issa: This is good! But you know, not as good as my dad's fresh seafood though.

Joe: I bet it is good, Now I'm gonna have bad breath!

Issa: Hehehehehehe, that's fine with me. I mean, it's not like your gonna kiss me or anything, psh.

Joe: I know that's crazy! Hehehe, psh, hehe...

(Awkward silence)

Issa: Joe?

Joe: Yeah?

Issa: D-d-do you want to kiss me?

Joe: So much.

(Joe leans over to kiss her, but Issa pulls away and shoves a piece of fish down his throat.)

Issa: Later, please?

Joe: Fine with me. 

Here's a conversation between Sabrina and Frankie:

Frankie: Is there a Kids Meal?

Sabrina: Uh, no. Aw! But it's so cute when you want a Kids Meal!

(Awkward silence)

Sabrina: Sorry.

Frankie: No, no, no. It's not you. It's... THIS STUPID RESTARAUNT THAT DON'T HAVE NO KIDS MEAL!

(Everyone stares at their table.)

Frankie: Dang it.

Sabrina: It's alright. What are you going to eat?

Frankie: I want spaghetti, do you want to share a large order?

Sabrina: Ok sure!

(Order and get their food.)

Frankie: Did you want the meatball?

Sabrina: Sure. Thanks.

Frankie: This is quite awkward.

Sabrina: Very.

(Another awkward silence)

 Frankie: I... I really do like you Sabrina.

 Sabrina: (blush) I like you too.

Frankie: I know, it's obvious!

(Both laugh)

Here's the conversation between Kevin and Amy:

Amy: Well, this place is really cool.

Kevin: Yeah, I agree.

Amy: Well, want me to tell you how I got my nickname FishyFlakes Girl?

Kevin: Sure. That sounds interesting.

Amy: Well, it all started when...

(Story goes on and on until the end)

Amy: And that's how I got the name FishyFlakes Girl!

Kevin: Hahaha nice! So, do you like alfredo pasta?

Amy: I love it! But that sounds a little large, wanna share?

Kevin: Of course!

(Order and get their food)

Amy: I still can't believe I'm actually here with you right now.

Kevin: Yeah, I know. I can't believe I'm here with you right now either.

Amy: (blush) I've waited for this night to come for such a long time. It's just as I wanted it.

Kevin: I always wanted it like this too.

Last, here's the conversation between Me and Nick:

Nick: So, Crystal, I haven't has a lot of alone time with you yet. I mean, with out Sabrina and Joe and those guys. What I mean-

(I nod my head.)

Me: I know what you mean.

Nick: So, what are you gonna eat? Or did you wanna share or summin'?

Me: Well, the plates are pretty big. I guess we can share somethin' like the veggi plate or something.

Nick: Veggi plate sounds good. I'm trying to lay off the chocolate and soda for a while.

(Order and get our food.)

Nick: Better then I thought.

Me: Yeah. It's really good.

(Talk about ourselves and found out we got a lot in common.)

Me: Yeah, Issa and Sabrina are exactly 18 days apart. Sabrina born first. Then after Issa was born, almost exactly a year later, I was born.

Nick: That's cool. At least you guys are around the same age. Frankie, Kevin, Joe, and I are scattered.

(Both of us reach for the last carrot.)

Nick: You can have it.

Me: No you.

Nick: I'm fine.

(I take the carrot not eat it myself, I fed it to Nick. he didn't argue, he just ate it. Then I giggled.)

Nick: Thats one good carrot.

Me: (giggle)

Nick: I love that giggle. it's cute.

Me: No. I don't like it.

Nick: I love it. And not only that, I love your eyes, your smile, your hair... Everything about you.

Me: Really?

Nick: Really.

Our conversation was interupted by Joe and Issa. "Let's go. It's already 11:30." Joe said checking his watch. We met the others outside of the resteraunt.

Chapter 13: Issa's Romantic Experience

When we got back to the hotel, we went up the stairs to get ready for bed. we thought the day was over but to let you know, it wasn't. When we all got ready, someone came knocking on the door. Sabrina answered the door and there was Joe leaning against the door frame wearing a fancy, expencive-looking suit."Joe?" Issa asked. "Mmmm-Hmm." He muttered. "May I borrow Ms. Clarissa Fe for a moment?" Joe asked. Issa wasn't dress romantically, she was wearing purple sweat pants with a University of Washington sweat shirt and bunny slippers. "Uh, sure." Issa hesitated. she followed him out to the courtyard. Now that I think about it, unromantic outfits make the scene more... romantic. Anyway, they walked slowly and Joe did all the talking. He said "You remember when you said, 'Kiss me later' at the resteraunt?" Issa said." Yeah." I could tell she knew what was going to happen. Me, Amy and Sabrina peeked out the window to see what was going on. And I could bet you anything Kevin, Nick, and Frankie were doing the same thing. "Well," Joe said. They sat down on an elegant bench and he started to talk again. "It's later." Joe shrugged. "Yeah." Issa said. Enough said. Joe kissed her. Right there on the lips. I say it lasted about 2 seconds. All of us freaked out. Amy, Sabrina, and I were so excited, we ran across the hall to the boy's room. "They kissed! They kissed!" We shouted. We were jumping up and down so much I felt bad for the people sleeping under us. We ran back to our rooms and acted normal like we saw nothing. Issa walked in the room and layed down in her bed. "So, what happened?" Amy asked. "Don't pretend like you don't know." Issa said. "But it was pretty... sweet." She told us all the things he said and she didn't leave out a single detail. "I'm too excited to sleep now!" I said. "I know." Sabrina said. "Maybe I'll kiss Frankie one day!" We all looked at Sabrina. " Sabertooth, I'm sorry, that is NOT gonna happen!" Amy said rudely. But Sabrina had hope in herself.

Chapter 14: A Walk to Amusment

The morning after that was as usual. We all took a bath, changed, and ate. Just a normal old start of the day. The main thing that we mostly did was eat at some resteraunts. So, I decided we should add a just-for-fun trip. So while we were eating, I stood up and said, "Maybe we should go out somewhere for fun!". "You mean an amusement park?" Issa brought up. Sabrina and Amy looked up from what she was doing. "I think there's one that's about 20 minutes away if we walk." Issa added. I could see the excitement in Sabrina's eyes. "Well! What are we waiting for?! I'll go tell the boys!!!" Sabrina exclaimed. Amy stopped her. "Calm down, Sabrina. We'll go together." Amy said slowly. We walked down the hall to their room and went in. "Hey guys. Do you guys wanna go to an amusement park? Because we think that there's one about 20 minutes away if we walk." I said. All 4 heads turned up and looked at us. "Nothin' better than a afternoon jog!" Joe said and smiled. We all laughed and Kevin said, "How about we leave at three-ish?". "Alright!" We all hollered in excitement. "Whoop! Whoop!" Kevin said. After getting ready and all, Amy, Sabrina, Issa, and I walked across the hall to the boys room. Amy was so excited, she didn't even knock. She just walked in. "Hey!" Kevin screamed.  "Wait!" Amy's eyes widened. I pulled her back and Sabrina shut the door. "What did you see?" Issa asked. "Nothing." Amy said. "Just Kevin with his shirt off. That. Was. Awesome." Issa shook her head. Kevin, Nick, Joe, and Frankie walked out a few minutes later while we were waiting out in the hall talking about ostioporosis. "Yeah. It's true. It's called 'Brittle Bone'." Amy showed off how much she knew. "Cool." I said. "Ready?" Nick asked. "Yeah." Sabrina and Issa said together. "Gee, Amy. You could knock." Kevin said offering his arm to Amy. "Sorry." Amy apologized and took his arm. Issa and Joe snickered again when Sabrina had to bend down a bit to take Frankies arm. We walked in silence with little comunication between couples. "Aw, you're so cute!" Amy cooed pinching Kevins cheeks. He laughed along but I don't think he liked it. "Ok, I got one." Joe said. "I dare you, to go up to that shop and knock on the window." If you know Issa really well, she'll never, (I repeat) NEVER back down from a dare. Me and Nick watched her. She creeped to the window and knocked on it kinda hard. The people inside turned to her and she smiled and waved like a total idiot. She laughed and came back to the troop. "That was a good one" Issa said. "Haha, I can't believe you just did that." Joe said. "I know! Ok Joe, it's YOUR turn now!" Issa said and grinned. "BRING IT ON!" Joe said loud enough to cause the people in front of us to look back at us. I couldn't imagine what Issa had up her sleeves for Joe. By Sabrina's puzzled look, I could tell she was wondering about that too. "I dare..." Issa started, "I dare..." Issa repeated. "Continue..."Frankie said. We all giggled. "I dare..." She said once again. "Get on with it..." Frankie said smiling. We giggled even more. "Ok, ok. I got it. I dare you to..." Issa rushed through before Frankie could make another comment, "I dare you to go up to 3 random people and make animal sounds at them!" Issa finally finished laughing. Her laughing caused a chain reaction. We all laughed, even Joe himself. "Go ahead Joe!" Issa smiled smugly. This was going to be interesting. Joe went up to a young teenager and started making monkey sounds. "Ooh ooh! AH AH! Ooh ooh! Ah ah!" It was impossible for us not to laugh. I was trying to say "stop", but I couldn't breath. The teen had pure confusion. "Hehehe... Hi?" She said and fast-walked away. Then Joe went up to a well-dressed man in a tuxedo. "MOO! MOOOO! MOOOOOO!" Joe said trying not to laugh. The man ignored him and like the girl, fast-walked away. Then he went up to a boy on a skateboard. "Arf! Arf! Grrrr... RUFF!" Joe said. The boy chuckled, then fast-skateboarding away. Finally, it was over! But now the laughing was unstoppable. Sabrina was making funny sounds and faces while she was laughing. Issa was bobbing up and down, trying to slow it down to giggles. I was covering my mouth, attempting not to let out another sound. Amy's and Kevin's eyes were getting teary. Nick's face was red with hilarity. Frankie, well, let's just say we were all pretty sure he was going to run out of air if Joe kept going. I was sure that my gut was going to burst right then and there. Joe joined again and we were all trying to get our heart beats back to normal, which was extremely difficult. We were laughing so hard, we had totally ignored the fact that we were already at the entrance gate. "Oh... Hahaha, we're already here?" Amy said wiping the tears with her sleeve. "Finally!" Me, Issa, and Sabrina said at the same time.

Chapter 15: Hold on Tight! It's a Roller Coster Ride!

The first thing we all did was get a drink from the water fountain. We needed to clear our troats from laughing so much. "Oh, that's much, much better." Nick panted. I looked to the ground to see if my shoes got wet from the dripping water. Then I looked up and saw maybe the most beautiful thing ever: The biggest roller coster I've ever seen. I grinned and cocked my head to the side without noticing. Amy stood right next to me and cocked her head the same way I did. "I take it you wanna ride the roller coster." She said. "No!" I answered sarcasticly. "The feeling never came to me!" Amy inched away from me. "'scuse me." she said rudely. I turned around to the rest of them. "I wanna ride the roller coster." I said boldly. Everyone turned their heads up to the roller coster. "That's... mighty big there." Kevin said still looking up. "Okay, it looks way cooler from your point of view." Frankie complained. "That. Looks. Awesome." Sabrina said barely moving her mouth. "Oh, I read that's the tallest roller coster in the world." Nick explained. "I goes upside-down 12 times and the highest drop is 372 feat in the air. I read someones hair actually ripped off 'cause of the speed." Nick was still looking at the humungous drop. When he looked back down to face us again, our eyes were on him and our mouths were dropped. "You are such a lier." Issa muttered. "No, no. I'm not lying." He pointed to an advertisment nearby. "Go read the sign." He told all of us. We walked over together to read the sign. I read out loud, "The Thunderstorm is a mixture of excitment, energy, and facing your fears. It spirals 12 times in a row and the top drop is 372 feet at 56 mile per hour. It holds a world record for tallest roller coster drop in the world. If you can stand nonstop cartwheels, vertical drops, and loosing your head, you'll enjoy this ride!" I looked back at everyone. Sabrina and Issa were giving a weird look. Joe and Kevin and Frankie acted like they weren't scared. Though, Nick in the backround was smiling and nodding his head. "I say we still ride it!" Sabrina said punching her fist in the air. "Yeah!" We shouted together. "Come on!" Frankie screamed while we were running to the line. "Is there a height limited?" Amy asked looking at Frankie. The guy at the controls heard us and said," Nope." And that's all he said. "Ok then. Let's go." Joe said leading us to the front. Joe knew that Issa was going to be afraid to be in front. So he took the second car. Me and Nick sat in front, Sabrina and Frankie behind Joe and Issa, and Amy and Kevin in the back. "You ok?" Nick asked me. "Yeah. Just... That's a really big drop." I squeaked. "Crystal, you're the one who wanted to ride in the first place!" Amy shouted from the back. "Don't worry." Nick comforted me ignoring Amy. "I won't let you get hurt." he promised. Though Issa was sitting only in the second cart, her and Joe were pumped up more then any of us. "OH YEAH! I GET READY TO ROCK. 'N. ROOOOOOOOOOOOLL!" Issa shouted to all Europe. "IF I DON'T SURVIVE," Joe shouted out after Issa. "I LOVE YOU ALL! NOW MAKE SOME NOISE!" Joe and Issa screamed. "Guys, guys," Sabrina said. "Stop. Please." She begged. "Yeah. The ride hasn't started yet." Frankie reminded them. At the same time, the carts started moving. I checked to see if the bar was as tight as it could. It was. "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" All 8 of us shouted. The hot summer heat was making me sweat but I was sure as soon as the ride gets into action, I was going to be cooler. First thing first, we went up about a 20 feet high peak slowly. When we got to the top, we all went bonkers. We shouted at the top of our lungs. I bet you America could hear us. We vertically fell. I could now feel how 56 miles per hour felt. Me. Sabrina, Amy and Issa do the same thing every time we're on a roller coster. No matter who we're with, we always shout "JOEY!" 'cause he's one of our favorite cousins and he always rides costers with us. "JOEY! JOEY! JOEY!" We kept shouting. We went around in the spiral 12 times like they said. It's not like any of us counted. We were too dizzy! The last thing was the drop. We slowed down and jerked up the hill. Frankie screamed. "I always loved you guys!" halfway up the drop. "I want Joey!" Issa screamed. Then I screamed, "JOEY!" After me, Sabrina, Amy, and Issa screamed along. "Joe, Nick. I sorry I borrowed your socks! And Frankie. I'm sorry I flushed your toy down the toilet!' Kevin shouted. "JERK!!!" Joe, Nick, and Frankie shouted back at him at the same time. When we finally reached the top, Nick, Joe, Issa, and I dangled at the edge. It took a few seconds for us to drop vertically. We all went totally bonkers. We shouted and screamed. Us girls even forgot to scream for Joey. "Where's the frikkin' brakes when you need them?!!!!" Nick shouted. I was the only one that heard him. "BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY! SO I'M NOT GOING TO CRY!" Sabrina screamed. The drop went by so slowly, it felt like forever for the ride to be over. When her came the the stop, All the girls were screamming, "JOEY!!!!" All of us stopped except for me. "Joey! Jo- oh." I didn't notice but both of my arms were around Nick's neck. "Ahem." Nick fake coughed. "Oh. Sorry." I said and unlocked my arms. When we got off the ride, we crammed on the bench next to the exit. "That. Was. Awesome." Frankie said first. "Sorry. But I really don't wanna ride that again." Amy said shaking her head. "Nope." Nick added. "I need a drink." Issa said and got up. She walked toward the drinking fountain and took a long drink. All of us were all too inpatiant to wait. But we waited our turn. "What ride next?" Joe asked excitely. After playing carnival games, riding smaller rides, and wasting some of our money on candy, we were all tired by the end of the day and decided to go back to the hotel. Our feet were aching but no one complained. We went to sleep as soon as possible and wondered what'll happen tommarrow.

Chapter 16: Frankie's Walking High Above The World (For a While)

"Frankie, I wish you weren't so short." Sabrina said outta nowhere while we were watching some show on T.V. we didn't understand. "Is that a bad thing?" Frankie asked her. I snickered a little bit to hear how awkward this was. Issa slapped my left knee to make me stop laughing, even though she was holding her laugh in also. "No, of corse not." Sabrina told him. Joe and Kevin continued watvhing the show grinned a little bit. "I jusr wish we could make you a bit taller." Sabrina added on. "Oh." Frankie said sadly. "Sorry to butt in, but I have a solution to your problem." Kevin said raising his hand. "Ok. What is it?" Issa asked. "I'll be right back." Kevin said. He got up and ran out the door. "Where's he goin'? Joe asked. "Ah, cause I can so read his mind." I commented rudly then expected. We expected Kevin to come back in 2 minutes. But instead he came back in half an hour. He walked in the hotel room with a bag. "Hey guys." he happily said. "Where were you?" Sabrina asked. "Store, buying Vitamin Water." He answered. "So you made us wait for half an hour, so you can run off and buy juice that claims to be water?" Frankie asked annoyed. "NO!" Kevin shouted back. "I bought Vitamin water, a glue gun, and shoes that are Frankies size." He held up the things he bought. "Uh, that's... interesting." Issa commented. "Just watch, and learn." Kevin said. He sat down next to Joe and went to work. It looked simple, and we all got the idea quickly. All he did was super glue the shoes to the Vitamin Water. But before he did that, he drank half of each bottle to lighten the weight. "Put these on." he told Frankie. Frankie did as he was told. Sabrina got up to held him stand. She held his hand and pulled him up to his feet. He wobble forward, and backward. Then Joe quickly came behind him to hold his back so he won't fall. "I'm ok. Ok." Frankie said. Kevin nodded his head in pride. "Kevin," Issa said. "Are you sure this is gonna work?" Frankie lifted his right foot and set it down. "Of corse it will work." Kevin promised. "He just has to get used to it." Frankie held onto Sabrina and Joe. He did looked taller then Sabrina now. Only by a few inches though. That's how tall he should be. "I can't walk." Frankie whinned. "Just hold onto us, and start walking. It's just like learning to ride a bike." Joe taught. Frankie held onto Joe and Sabrina like if he didn't, he'll die. He started walking slowly. Then let go of them. He smiled big and walked around the hotel room. "One problem." Amy pointed out. "How is he gonna walk up the grassy hill to our date tonight? He can't walk up hills." I agreed. So did everyone else but Kevin who had another idea. "Issa and Nick or someone will just guide him up the hill." He put the glue back in the plastic shopping bag. "Kevin, I didn't mean that you need to make him taller. He's fine the way he is." Sabrina said to Kevin. "Let's just try tonight, and if it doesn't work right away, we'll just simple take off the shoes." That night, Amy and I guided Frankie up the hill. We had to walk quickly so we could watch the sun set. When we got there, Issa and Nick set up the blanket to sit on. Nick helped him to the ground. "Dude, these shoes are killin' me!" Frankie complained while taking off his shoes. "Bu- But we don't have extra shoes for you to wear." Issa said. "Unless...." She glared at the shoes. "Oh no you're not." Kevin grabbed the shoes. "I spent good money on these!" Issa went at him. "Sorry Kev, we're gonna have to." She reached for the shoes and Kevin pulled them away. "Who was the first president of the United States?" Issa asked putting her hands and he hips. "What?" Kevin asked. "Just answer the question." Issa said rolling her eyes.

Kevin: Uh, George Washington.

Issa: Yes. What was the first exsisting civilization?

Kevin: Mesopotamia.

Issa: What is the common name of ostioporosis?

Kevin: Brittle Bone.

Issa: What time was I born?

Kevin: What?!

Issa: What time was I born?

Kevin: Uh.....

Kevin thinks for a long time. In that time, Issa snatches the shoes away from Kevin and throws one to Nick, and one the Joe. "Hey! Wha-heeeeey!" Kevin screams confused. Nick grins and says, "Sorry Kevin." And rips the shoe off the bottle. "This is what you get for borrowing my socks!" Joe yells and he rips the shos off also. Kevin stands there in disbelief. "Well, there goes $15 of wasted money." he whispers. Nick and Joe toss Frankie his shoes. He puts them on and sighs. He lays back on Sabrina's lap and folds his arms. "That's so much better." He said. We all laugh, even Kevin who didn't seem to care about the shoes any more. We all lay down. Sabrina is the only one sitting up with Frankie's head laying down on her lap. Amy head rests on Kevin arm, Issa is hugging Joes waist, and my head is laying on Nick's arm while my arms are 'round his neck. We were looking up at the stars. I'll tell you, these stars are entirely different from looking at them back in Seattle. These ones looked brighter, more promising, and a whole lot more romantic.

Chapter 17: The Night Under The Stars

This feeling felt like a movie. Only thing was we didn't have to act. I kept thinking to myself "Nick's gonna kiss me any moment." But I knew how slow Nick liked taking relationships. So I kept patiant.

Kevin and Amy moment:

Amy: I love my Guitar Hero.

(Amy pinches Kevin's cheek again)

Kevin: Not as much as I love my Fishy Flakes Girl.

Amy: Stop it! You are so funny!

(Kevin chuckles)

Sabrina and Frankie moment:

Sabrina: You look cute when you're sleepy.

Frankie: Well, I'm not sleepy.

Sabrina: Oh, well, you look like it.

Frankie: Now that you'd mentioned it, I am a little sleepy. But I don't want to leave here yet.

Sabrina: Me neither. 

 Issa and Joe moment:

(Issa plays with Joes hair)

Issa: (Sigh)

Joe: You tired?

Issa: No, no. I just love your hair.

Joe: I like your hair too.

Issa:...ok.

Me and Nick moment:

Nick: If you were still at home, what would you be doing right now?

Me: I don't know. Watching T.V., computer, eating chips.

Nick: You're so lucky to be here tonight.

(I smile)

Me: You don't have to tell me. I know.

Nick: I know you know.

(I giggle)

The night went wonderful. We were so caught up, we forgot to eat the stuff we brought. We went back to the hotel and went to sleep.
