Finally, a time to getaway from those demons.Yusuke held the plane tickets in his hand. a trip for two to the sunny beach of Florida. " Heh-heh", yusuke smiled at the thought of Keiko wearing her bathing suit. He had asked Keiko to join him in his vacation. He needed time alone with her. It was time to go. Yusuke stopped by her haouse to pick her up. Their flight was due tonight.

Meanwhile in another part of the city. Kuwabara, just outside Yukina's house was trembly and nervous. *Would she agree?* These thoughts flashed through his mind. It was time to knock. Suddenly the door opened and out came Yukina in her cute kimono. The startled kuwabara regained his balance and stared at her. After a few minutes of staring, he finally found his voice." Er..Yukina?" Yukina smiled . * He's here again.*, she thought. He had been here the other day and the day before that. Kuwabara scratched his head." Would you do me the honor of joining me for a summer vacation to Florida?" Yukina thought for a moment." Sure!", she nodded.Kuwabara couldn't believe his ears. " Wh-what did you just say?" Yukina smiled again." I said i'd be delighted to come with you." Kuwabara pinched himself several times to mak sure he wasn't dreaming. Yukina laughed quietly. "*Sometimes Kuwabara can be so funny*

"What's this?", Botan asked Koenma. Koenma just smiled at her affectionately. Botan noticed Koenma was acting stranger and stranger ever since Yusuke defeated Sensui.* That was so long ago, even when there was the tournament with Yomi, he had been flashing those smiles at her.* Koenma interrupted her thoughts. " That is a plane ticket to Florida.", he smiled again and Botan's heart did a sudden flip-flop. " I'm sure you know that i was given a vacation to Florida." He paused for awhile then looked outside his window." I've decided to invite you too." Silence.
Botan finally spoke. " Thank you for the invitation and I appreciate it very much but I'm afraid I must refuse." Botan saw the expression on his face. " Why can't you go?" Botan was surprised by the question." I-I don't have enough money to cover for all the expenses, the food, .." Koenma shook his hand." No need to worry about that, I'm paying." Botan was again surprised." Wh-hat?"

Yusuke threw away his soda can. "Come on Keiko." Keiko looked at her ticket." It says here that we are seat number 12 and 13." Yusuke opened another can." That's right, and we'd better get to our plane."

Yukina finished her cup of noodles.( How can Kuwabara be so cheap!) Kuwabara threw her cup into the trash can, missing Yusuke by a few minutes. " Let's see...We are seat no. 14 and 15." Yukina glanced at her Esprit watch. ( Given to her by her brother and not Kuwabara) " It's time to go." They walked towards the plane.

Botan stared at the people around her. Wait a minute! For a second, she thought she saw Yusuke. * Must be my imagination.* Probably form all the stress Koenma's change of attitude. Koenma pointed to a seat at the very back. " There's our seat." As they neared their seats, Botan thought aloud. * I can't believe this plane is so large!* As if reading her mind,Koenma spoke." This is so large that they have 6 seats per row, we'd probably be sharing with 4 more people." Yhey sat down and for the millionth time, Botan became edgy. Koenma was so close to her.

Yusuke glanced around him. " I had no idea this plane was so large." Keiko nodded her head in agreement. She was really surprised and wondered if it would crash because of the weight.She pushed the thought aside and replaced it by thinking Yusuke was with her and it dosen't matter. Suddenly yusuke gave a shout which surprised everyone on the plane. " There's our seat!!" Keiko wanted the cover her face with shame. * Yusuke can be such an idiot!* She thought as she dragged him to their seat. She was so preoccupied with her thoughts she failed to notice her seatmates. Suddenly, she looked up." Botan?" The two girls hugged each other and decided to catch up with each other. Botan smiled. " I'm so glad we're seatmates!!!" Keiko nodded in agreement." Listen why don't we arrange our seats so we can talk."

Finally Kuwabara found their seats. Without Yukina's help, they would end up going in cirles. " Huh Yusuke?" Yusuke just gave a thumbs up sign. " So Yukina actually agreed to go with you." At this Yukina blushed red. "However did you escape Hiei's vigilant eyes?" Yusuke added.

And so the unusually large plane was ready to take off. The group exchanged seats and this is how they were arranged.
