» CHAPTER ONE «

Rina woke up in the dark tour bus. She yawned and stretched back, smacking someone in the face. "OUCH!!"

*Yaaaawwwnnn….* "Yeesh, how long was I asleep?"

Cleo gingerly rubbed her nose. "Ag couble uf ours nowg"

"Really?" Rina asked sitting up and fixing her hair. She looked around. "Why are the lights out?"

Cleo sighed. "We broke down about an hour ago"

"WHAT?!"

"I SAID, WE BROKE--" (slap)

"I heard you! Where’s everyone else?"

"I’m not sure…"

Tatem rubbed her bare arms while shivering in the freezing cold air. She held a miniature flashlight between her teeth while Larry, the bus driver, checked the engine. "(clack) (clack) W-will y-you hurry (clack) UP!" she stuttered, making the small circle of light jump all over the place.

"Shut up! You’re shaking the light!" Larry said with his head and shoulders fully inside the hood of the tour bus.

"(clack) but (clack) (clack) L-larry!" She whined as her teeth chattered. "I-(clack)I’m c-c-cold!!"

Larry snorted. "You’re cold…When I was your age I had to walk 15 miles to school! Uphill both ways! Beating off bears with twigs and my bare feet!"

"(clack) For Christ’s (clack) sake, I DON’T (clack) CARE!!"

"Hey!" Gia called running up in a big blue puff coat, mittens, and hat. "There’s another bus coming!!"

"Damn it Gia! Those are (clack) MINE!"

"Where?" Larry asked, sticking his head out of the hood and squinting.

"Over there!!" Jasmine, who seemed to magically appear, shouted while jumping up and down. Two headlights come over the horizon about a mile away. Rina came stumbling out the bus with Cleo following her.

"Rina! Rina! A bus! A bus! LOOK!!"

Rina looked at Jasmine lamely as she pointed and squawked like an idiot. "Well let’s get out there and flag it down!" Cleo took off to the back of the bus.

Nadine lifted her head from the bushes. "What was that?"

"What was what?" Luchi asked, standing up from petting a squirrel she was petting.

Nadine frowned and shrugged. "Never mind."

"HEY!!" Cleo yelled, flapping her wildly in an attempt to catch the attention of the bus. It pulled to the side of the road and shut down. Cleo turned and cupped her hand next to her mouth. "GUYS!! C’mon it stopped!!" She ran to the door as it opened revealing a black man in a blue bus drivers uniform ::You know the guy::

"Hey, what seems to be the problem here?" he asked.

"Our bus broke down." The driver nodded as Larry came running up.

"Hey! Fred!! How the hell are ya?" Larry and Fred gave each other a manly hug, while patting each other on the back.

"I’m great Lar, so why did ya break down?"

Larry scratched his head. "Well, I think it’s the whoosa what’s it or the dingle bop, but I’m not sure..."

"Hmm…let’s go take a look." The two walked away to the other bus.

Cleo looked at the dark open doorway to the bus…then the two streaming headlights of her bus…the door…her bus…the door… She scratched her head. "RINA!! TATEM!!"

"Where’d the driver go?" Rina whispered as the three tip toed onto the dark bus.

"I don’t know but it stinks in here…" Tatem blocked her nose and made a face.

"You know what that means…" Cleo smiled looking back at the two, who nodded.

"Boys!!" they all squealed.

"Larry nodded. "Alright. I’ll go round up the girls and lock the bus."

"I wonder whose bus this is anyway," Tatem whispered, glancing around. Rina, who had her ear pressed to a curtain of a bunk, then motioned them to come over. Cleo and Tatem crept over beside her and pressed their ears on it too.

"Snoring?" Cleo asked. The other two nodded.

Rina grinned excitedly. "Let’s see who it is!!" She reached up for the opening.

"No!!" Both Cleo and Tatem harshly whispered, jumping on her.

"Why not?" Rina pouted.

"Because, idiot, you’ll wake them up!!" Tatem whispered. She smiled and grabbed the opening. "I’ll do it!"

"Tatem!"

She flung back the curtain. Only a faint outline of a body could be seen under the blankets. Cleo curiously leaned over it to see it’s face.

"Cleo!" Rina hissed.

"What?"

"Didn’t anyone ever tell you curiosity killed the CAT!" (Author’s Note: Cleo has a strange obsession with cats, sometimes she’ll sit in class and lick her wrist then run it over her head…it’s sorta embarrassing especially when we take her out to dinner) Cleo made a short squeak/meow noise and shrunk back.

"Hey Rina" Tatem giggled. "Why don’t you kiss him?"

Rina scrunched her nose. "Eww!! First of all ‘he’ could be a she!" Just then the figure snorted loudly and grumbled. The 3 girls sat extremely still until he stopped moving. "And," Rina continued a little more quietly. "He could be ugly! Or dirty! And don’t get me *started* on morning breath!" Tatem and Cleo rolled their eyes.

"Okay…better idea…let’s just see who it is and then leave," Tatem suggested.

"Why do we even have to see who it is?" Cleo asked.

"Because," Tatem whined. "I want to know!"

Rina rolled her eyes and Cleo shrugged. "Okay…." Cleo reached into her pocket and pulled out a lighter. "On the count of three." She flicked the lighter but got only a spark. She tried again…and again… and again…then she swore and chucked it across the bus.

"Uh…good thing I stole those matches from the drugstore," Rina mumbled, pulling out a book of matches for her pocket. "On three…one….two…" She lit the match. "…three" They all leaned over the body as the soft orange light filled the bunk.

Cleo frowned and squinted. "It looks like…like…"

"BRIAN LITTRELL!!" Tatem screamed, causing Cleo and Rina to jump and hit their heads on the bunk above.

Brian’s eyes snapped open. "What the--"

"Ahh!! My fingers!!" Rina yelled while dropping the match…onto Brian’s bed.

"HOLY SH*T!!" Brian jumped up as his blanket went up in flames.

"Rina! What did you do?!" Tatem screamed, panic spreading over her face.

"Bri…" came a groggy voice from bunk across from his. "What’s going on?"

"FIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRREEEEE!!!!" Brian yelled, grabbing onto Tatem and Rina’s wrists, dragging them off the bus.

"WHAT?!" came 4, now wide awake voices. The curtains from the surrounding bunks flung open to see the glorious blazing bed, which was spreading quickly.

"Everybody off the bus!!" Kevin hollered, jumping out of his bunk and tucking Cleo under his arm like a football. The other guys scrambled out of their bunks and ran to the door.

"What the hell is going on?!" Fred screamed as the BSB and the girls ran off the bus, followed by tons of black smoke.

"I-I don’t know!!" AJ panicked. "I was sleeping and Bri yelled ‘fire!’. I looked outside my bunk and his bed was in flames!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Fred wailed, falling to his knees. "BEEEEERRRRRRTTTTTHHHHHAAAAAA!!" He began to sob into his hands.

Shaking his head, Larry wiped away a tear. He patted Fred on the back. "It’ll be okay man…"

"H-how could this happen…" Fred whined.

Larry turned to two girls who were desperately trying to hide behind each other. "I can think of two good reasons…" he glared.

"Sh*t," Nick spat, throwing his hands up in the air. "There goes all my stuff!"

"MY HAIR GEL!!!" Howie screamed unto the sky. He fell on his knees next to Fred.

"Uh…Howie calm down…" AJ uncomfortably patted him on the back.

Kevin looked down at Cleo, who was still under his arm. "Who *are* you?" Cleo, whose eyes were slightly glazed over, stared up at him, moving her jaw but not making a sound.

"I think she’s in shock" Tatem supplied. They all turned to look at her. She ‘eeked’ then jumped and hid behind Rina.

"Errmm…" Rina smiled sweetly and placed her hand behind her head. "H-hey guys…"

"Are YOU the one who set our bus on fire!?" Nick yelled in her face.

"NO!!" she yelled back.

He backed off a bit and raised his eyebrow. "Oh? So *who* did it then?"

Rina raised her nose in the air. "How should I know? It’s not like I--"

"WHO WAS IT!?"

"STOP YELLING!"

"I’M NOT YELLING!!"

"WELL IT SOUNDS LIKE YELLING TO ME!!"

"Um…guys…" Brian said quietly, looking at the bus.

"WHAT?" Rina and Nick snapped.

"Do you ever watch action movies?"

"WHAT?!" the whole group asked.

"Well in the movies, when cars and stuff catch on fire, don’t they usually blow up?"

After about 10 seconds of blank stares Kevin took off with Cleo STILL under his arm. "RUUUUUNNNN!!!" Tatem screamed. They all took off down the highway.

~ In The Woods ~

 "Okay I know I heard something that time…" Nadine whispered.

"Hey you guys in here?" Gia asked, pushing a branch out of her way.

"Yeah," answered Luchi. "Who is that?"

"Gia and Jasmine." Gia slipped on a patch of moss but managed to keep her balance. "Stupid shoes" she mumbled.

"Good thing… I thought you were Rina or Tate or Cleo…they’re really starting to get on my nerves.."

"I know," Jasmine sighed, sitting on a stump.

***BOOM***

"What was that?!" Jasmine shrieked.

"I don’t know."

~ Back At The Bus…Well Rubble ~

 "Well now what are we supposed to do?" AJ wailed, looking at the heap of burnt metal.

"Well we could take their bus!" Brian suggested, pointing to the girls.

"Uhhh…actually…" Tatem winced.

"What…." Kevin asked cautiously.

"Our bus broke down…that’s kinda how we ended up on yours…"

Larry sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Well I guess we’re gonna have to walk." A chorus of ‘Oh mans’ and ‘I hate girls’ were heard. Slowly they all started to head down loooooong highway.

After about 10 minutes Rina suddenly gasped, they all stopped and looked at her. "Okay I know this will sound weird but I’m doing it anyway! I’m 1, Tate you’re 2, Cleo 3, Larry 4, Nick 5, Brian 6, Kevin 7, Howie 8, and Fred 9. After I say my number Tate you say yours, and so on, alright?"

"Um…WHY?" Brian asked.

"So none of us get kidnapped, attacked, or killed!! Don’t you ever watch *horror* movies!! That’s how it happens, one by one they disappear!" They all stared at her blankly, then began to walk again. "Ok…one"

(chirp, chirp)

"ONE!!" Rina yelled, panicking.

"Oh huh? TWO!" Tatem yelled laughing.

"Three.." Cleo whispered, still under Kevin’s arm.

"Four!"

"Five" Nick grumbled crossing his arms.

Brian sighed. "Six.."

~ About An Hour Later ~

 "One"

"Two"

"Three"

"Four"

"Five"

"Everybody in the house so come on let’s--" Brian was cut off by a slap upside the head.

"Now’s not the time for Mambo #5!" Rina hissed.

"Hey!" Howie yelled.

"Oh not you too Howie…" she whined.

"No look!!" He pointed up a dirt road that led to a mansion, sitting on a mountain. Lightning flashed, lighting up the sky. Rina made a flying leap onto Nick’s back.

"What the--"

"AHHHHHH!!! I HATE LIGHTNING!!"

"Wonderful…" He groaned and began walking again.

Tatem blinked at the dark building on the horizon. "Uhh…is it just me or does that place freak anyone else out?"

Brian walked by her mumbling something about girls being stupid and babies. Tate made a little ‘eep’ sound as her eyes watered. Cleo patted her on the shoulder. "Maybe he wasn’t talking about you?" she suggested with a friendly smile.

~ A Few Minutes Later ~

 "HURRY UP GUYS!!" Kevin yelled already at the door. The others slowly came and stood beside him.

"Well? Are you going to open it or just *stare* at it all night?" Tatem snapped.

"Yeah hurry up! It’s starting to rain harder!" Nick wined.

"I’m waiting for Howie to get here." Kevin pointed to a short troll like figure coming up the hill, his faint voice saying something about hair gel.

"HOWIE! SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT THE FRICKEN HAIR GEL ALREADY! I’M FREEZING MY ASS OFF OUT HERE!!" Nick yelled, scooting Rina up so she wouldn’t slip off his back.

"That hurt my ear," she said.

"Shut up, you weigh a ton."

"I DO NOT!!"

He dropped her on the ground. "Opps! Sorry the weight got to me."

"Asshole" she grumbled getting up, rubbing her backside then going to stand near Kevin.

Howie finally came up and joined the others. Kevin took a deep breath. "Well here goes nothing…" Slowly, with all his strength, he pulled back the heavy wooden doors. Kevin walked ahead by himself while the others clumped together in a shaking mass of legs and arms.

"Well," Kevin said turning around to face them. "Someone needs to go get help…" They all looked at Larry and Fred.

"Oh no….NO WAY…" Larry said, backing away from the group.

"But Laaaaarrryyy!" Rina wined. "We *really* need to cut back on characters…" She stuck out her lip and made her eyes get big and teary.

"Gaaaaahhh….no….not….the…eeerrrgg….minx…..cutsie…SPELL….nnneeeeggg….OKAY FINE!! Just stop looking at me like that!!" He snapped. He wiped his forehead with a rag. "Jesus girl, you’re going to kill me one day, you know that right??"

Rina shrugged and smiled innocently then turned to Fred. "No way!" he said shaking his head and walking towards the door. "I’d rather hike miles in the pouring rain…c’mon Lar." They both walked out into the rain and shut the door behind them.

After about 10 minutes of complete silence, AJ got nervous. "JERAMIAH WAS A BULLFROG!! HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE--"

"DUDE!" Howie yelled, shutting him up. AJ turned to him. "What the hell is *wrong* with you??"

AJ shrugged. "Sorry I was bored….HEY! Why don’t we go explore?!"

"Okay." Brian pointed to who he thought was Cleo and AJ in the pitch black. "You guys come with me and Nick. The rest of you are together."

Tatem grinned widely and pinched Rina. "He pointed to us!!" she whispered.

Rina rolled her eyes. "He probably thought you were AJ…"

"YES!!" Cleo exclaimed, punching her fist into the air. "All three to myself!!" They all looked at her. "Hehe…umm, so let’s go!!"

Author’s Note: I know what you’re all thinking. What’s going to happen to the girls in the woods? Where are the bus drivers going to go for help? Is AJ on crack? What’s in store for the group in the mansion?! And most of all, WHERE’S THE SEX?! YOU PROMISED SEX!! lol well don’t worry we’re getting to it! Buuut for now you can just e mail us!!
