[IC] There is a place for everyone ( 1x1 Twilights Curse & BeautifulSnow )

[BeautifulSnow]

''Wait.. the jeep? Really ?!'' Vanessa asked and looked at Xaven's parents and then at Xaven in surprise. ''That is way to much..'' she said but knew they wouldn't take the car back. ''Thank you so much'' she then said and smiled. She hugged his mother in return and enjoyed the kiss on her forehead, then she walked to his father and hugged him too. ''Thank you, thank you both'' she said and then looked at Xaven. ''Don't worry, I have four more like him to keep in line while I'm there'' she said and giggled.

She then walked towards Xaven and laid a hand on his forehead. ''You better put your seat down some and take some extra rest.. I'll grab a pillow and a blanket before we drive off'' she said worried. She looked at him and kissed his cheek. ''Don't worry'' she said and then looked at his mother again. ''Sex talks? But, we don't have sex... so don't worry'' she said and giggled. ''We only make love, that is something totally different'' she said and they all laughed. ''Now let's go you two... Or else you really will be late'' Robert said and Vanessa nodded. She grabbed the lunch boxes and then, with her own last bag on her shoulder, the boxes in her arms and her new car keys in her mouth, she walked of.

- psssssst check the OOC

[Twilights Curse]

Xaven, when she touched his forehead shook it. "nah, just two from what i've heard. Ed had to start college early and James went walkabout and is currently backpacking or hitchhiking europe. Ralphie and Drake are going to be there however" he said, though he still felt like crap, and she'd feel he was hot, hotter then usual. at the mention of extra rest, he was all for that so he nodded, kissing her cheek back. "never worry" he said, moving to the fridge, grabbing another bottle of water and turning it up, he guzzled its contents in one go, throwing the bottle away once it was sucked dry.

"damn right" when she brought up the making love comment, he smirked before walking toward the garage door. "we are going, we are going" grabbing the bag off her shoulder, and the boxes in her arm, sick or not, he wouldnt let her carry all that by herself. once at the jeep, her new vehicle, he put the stuff in the back. "dad even put the top back on for ya, just remember dont go taking it down unless you got help" as he climbed up into the passenger seat, leaning the set back, he groaned. "feels like i got hit by a mack truck"

[BeautifulSnow]

''Cool! It's great to hear that they will be there since I couldn't just spend my hole free time on alone you'' Vanessa said but showed her tongue to him. ''Just kidding'' she then said and looked at him taking the boxes and all. ''Wait!'' Xaven's mom said and walked up to them. ''Here, you might need those'' she said and handed Vanessa a box with condoms. Vanessa looked at them, awkwardly and then tossed them towards Xaven. ''That is your task!'' she said and after giving his mother a fast kiss on the cheek, she jumped into the Jeep. Giggling, she started the engine and drove backwards, out of the garage. His mother waving at them, Vanessa waved once more and then headed towards the road.

She looked at Xaven. ''You really don't look good'' she said and laid her hand on his head once more, he was hot, really hot.. She was worried and started to drive slower, reaching to the backseat for her bag, she grabbed it and took out a bottle of water and another pain killer. ''Here, take one and this bottle and if you need another bottle, just tell me'' she said and then when he had taken them, she started to drive again. Only for her to drop her speed after fifteen minutes as they drove by her old house.. It had survived the fire, or most of it and her aunt had totally let it be renewed for Vanessa if she ever wanted to go back. She shook her head and then drove to the highway.

---

An hour and a half later, Vanessa parked the Jeep and looked at Xaven who had fallen asleep. She smiled and stroked a few hair locks from his face. ''A sleep as a baby'' she said but then was rudely brought out of her day dream when the door of her jeep was opened and she was splashed by a water balloon. ''Got ya V!'' Ralph said and both laughed. ''You!'' Vanessa called, she freed herself from the seat belt and started to chase after Ralph, only to get hit on her butt, this time by Drake. ''Bulls eye'' he said. ''Oh, so I am a bull to you?'' Vanessa said and looked at him. ''Sorry Sugar, I just got a hundred points'' he said. Vanessa rolled her eyes and walked to the Jeep. ''Just help me get the stuff to the houses of the junior's'' she said. ''What about him? Am I allowed?'' Ralph said and held a water balloon above Xaven's face. ''If you dare, I'll dye YOUR clothes pink'' Vanessa said and the boy took away the balloon before it could splash open.

Drake opened the back of the jeep and picked up the two big bags. ''The red one is Xaven's'' Vanessa said. ''I figures that the turquoise one is yours'' Drake said and Vanessa smiled. She got back into the Jeep and slowly started to wake Xaven.

[Twilights Curse]

when the condoms were thrown his way, he caught them with a look. "why is this just my task?" he asked. "box of water balloons, alright" he teased, before stuffing them into a pocket of his pack, he waved back to his mom and dad as they pulled out and soon were off.

"Dont feel that good, i dont know whats going on, i dont ever get sick" feeling her hand on his forehead. "mm, your touch is cool" laying back he nodded and popped the pill and opening the water he tossed it back til it was half gone. "just means i'll have to take a dunk in the lake when i get there" screwing the bottom lid back on "and dont worry, i'll let you know" taking her hand, squeezing it.



Xaven laid there, chest rising and falling slow and steady, which was a lie really, cause his dreams were anything but. dreams of pain and rage, and oddly blood. his hand tightened on his stomach as he continued to sleep on, even after she pulled in, they'd arrived at the camp, not knowing he'd been close to kill poor Ralphie if he'd gotten hit by the water baloon. he came around when she started to wake him up, he opened his eyes, blinking them for a moment. "we here? damn i slept the whole ride?" he asked, sitting up. "im sorry Nessie, that had to be boring as hell" leaning over, kissing her deeply, his hand caressing her cheek. "i feel better though" he did, not by much but it was better then when he woke up. "where's tweedledee and tweedledum?" looking at her shirt, and then shorts. "and why are you wet?"

[BeautifulSnow]

''It wasn't boring, you talked.. or mumbled cause I didn't understand a thing from what you said but it was cute'' Vanessa said and when he kissed her deeply, she was a little surprised but then kissed him in return and closed her eyes. When he stopped again she giggled. ''I got attacked by a little boy'' she said and pointed to her back where Ralphie was taking over a bag from Derek. ''They attacked me, and now I make them carry our stuff'' she said with a giggle. ''I guess I am still their princess'' she said and then kissed Xaven on his cheek. ''You go easy and go take a dive, but not too deep because I don't wanna drive to the hospital with you'' she said and then smiled. She got out of the car again and grabbed the last bag. ''Looks like only the last stuff left is the tent'' Vanessa said and looked at Xaven. ''If you think you can carry it, you can take it too the camping side'' she said and then walked of to the camping side.

[Twilights Curse]

Smirking, Xaven shook his head. "serves them right then for attacking, make them do some manuel labor for a change" Ralphie smirked and Drake rolled his eyes "guess you still are" Xaven said, rubbing his head. "that last pill and nap helped i think, and be glad i was mumbling, my dreams were weird" shaking his head he smiled when she kissed his cheek. "no, i dont need to go take a dive, lets go and get set up and all that" getting out, and moving in the back he grabbed the tent, tossing it over his shoulder, and at her side, he'd walked to the camping site. "not feeling good?" Ralph asked "weirdest thing, i wasnt either when i woke up, felt like someone ran me over, then backed over me" Xaven nodded. "same here" admitting. "maybe your getting sick, why dont you head on home, i'll take care of Vanessa while she is here" Xaven narrowed his eyes. "and i'll shove these tent poles where the sun doesnt shine too" and it started.

[BeautifulSnow]

''Oh my goodness, are you two starting already?'' Vanessa asked and turned around, she had taken a few steps faster so she was walking in front of the guys. Now she turned around and looked at Drake and Xaven. ''You two man up and don't act cocky.. We all know that I won't let Xaven drive My jeep.. he is too rough for her'' she said but smiled. ''And btw..'' she said and now looked at Drake. ''Quit the crushing Drake, you might get hurt.. Really, I feel honored that you like me but I thought that everybody of our crew already knew I totally and only have a thing for Xaven... And really, my second choice? It would be Ralphie... He is cute'' she said and then turned around again and took of, she walked to the place where she always had her tent and putted the boxes in her hands down. ''This is my place!'' she claimed and smiled.

She knew Drake would not help anymore and be like, mega upset about what she just said but she had too... She didn't like lying and she never would lie either. She saw his face and walked up to him, she took over the stuff he had in his hands. ''I am sorry Drake.. I just don't like you that way'' she said and looked in his eyes. ''But you will find your own girl and you will feel way happier with her that you ever could with me..'' she said and then walked away. Drake now turned around and walked away, pretty upset and more heading towards angry. Vanessa didn't know what to do more than that and she just hoped he would be back soon.

[Twilights Curse]

Xaven shook his head, his hair blowing around as he made the motion. "there is no starting here, just a simple talk" far from simple, they were so starting. Ralphie smirked when she told them both to man up, the cocky thing wasnt going to happen, for either of them. "wait" Ralphie said. "when did it become your Jeep?" he asked, confused, it was always the party jeep but they all knew it was Xaven's parents. "i am not rough with it" smiling back at her. before he stood there as she told Drake how it was, he shook his head. "everyone knew but doesnt mean its still like that, people change" before he balk when she said she'd go for Ralphie next, who turned as red as a beet and began inspecting the things he was holding.. luckly they were where she camped. Drake was about to drop the stuff right there when she came and took it, he brushed it off. "its cool, no skin off my teeth" playing it off like it was no big deal, and then he was gone. Xaven sighed, shaking his head. "well he's going to be impossible for days as he pouts" Ralphie nodded. "yea, doesnt help that he got her a little after me and felt like crap, so did i actually, woke up so sore and hot" dropping the tent. Xaven nodded. "Same here man, same" he opened the tent up and began setting it up.

[BeautifulSnow]

Vanessa sighed and looked at Drake brushing off and shook her head. ''Maybe I was to rough.. But, I just didn't want him to keep his hopes up'' she said and then looked at Ralphie and Xaven. ''Raplhie, your too cute'' she said, seeing his red face. She never learned how to set up her tent and walked over to Xaven, she laid her hand on his shoulder and kissed his cheek. ''Can you do the tent for me?'' she asked and smiled some. ''You know how a struggle it will be if I must do it myself...'' she said and really hoped he would help her

[Twilights Curse]

Xaven looked up as Ralph would smile, waving his hand at her. "hush i am not" he said, going bright red again. Xaven laughed before he looked to Vanessa. "you wasnt to rough, he'll be fine.. we've seen him strike out with girls since we started coming" before getting the kiss to the cheek, Xaven smirked. "yes, i will do the tent cause i do know if you tried it, you'd just be laying on the ground wrapped in the canvus" he teased a little.

twenty minutes later

"And pull up" Xaven said, him and Ralph pulling on the poles and up goes her tent, just like that. both of them stomped the supports into the ground and that was that. "there you are my dear, one tent" Xaven said, dusting his hands off. "i should charge you" Drake walked up. "hey" Ralphie said. "so what else needs doing?" Drake asked.

[BeautifulSnow]

Vanessa looked at Xaven and raised her eyebrow. ''What.. But.. That is mean!'' she said and acted semi-affected. She then started to unpack her stuff and start to pump up her air bed. She was still stamping on the pump when Drake walked back to them. ''A lot of decoration and a bed.. I am doing the bed but it isn't working.. I think I did something wrong'' she said and stepped away.

She then took out her heart shaped pillows and giggled. ''I couldn't help it'' she said, she first looked at the soft back of the hearts and then threw one at Xaven, Ralphie and Drake. ''For the three of you, Look at the back.. A special message'' she said. For Xaven there was standing: ' I love you, and always will ', for Drake there was standing: ' Heads up, hot head. Your my B.B. (Big Brother) for ever ' and for Ralphie there was standing 'Your my little brother, not just because your younger than me, but also smaller :P '. ''I let those make for you guys.. Because you three are my family'' she said and then waited for their reaction while she was gonna figure out why the air bed didn't get inflated.

[Twilights Curse]

Xaven laughed when she said that was mean and she acted all faked effected by his words "aww poor baby" he said back as they'd help her with unpacking, while she went working on her air mattress. when Drake came up, he knelt down. "hose is wrong, you were on the sucking out side still" twisting the hose, snapped it off and placed it in the other, before twisting it. "there you go" rising back up.

all three caught the pillows. "really" Drake said "hearts" before each one turned it over to read. Xaven smiled, nodding. "ditto" looking back at her. Drake, he read and smirked, nodding. Ralph nearly fumbled his but he caught it and reading it he blushed. "thanks Vanessa" all of them looking at her, before they rushed forward and had her in side of three sets of arms, squeezing her tightly. "bear hug!" Xaven said, though not really all, one of his hands was firming on her tight behind, giving a squeeze.

[BeautifulSnow]

''Whaaaaa!!!'' Vanessa yelled but laughed. ''Hey guy's, you all know I love you but this is a little too tight'' she said and acted like she couldn't breath anymore. When they all let go of her, she gave Xaven a very meaningful look and then looked at Drake. ''Friend again?'' she asked with a pout and he nodded. ''I can't stay mad for at you for a long time and just as you said, it was pretty clear that I would try to catch a already caught fish'' Drake said and gave her a little smile. Vanessa was happy about the fact that he was not mad anymore. ''And, thank you for the pillow'' he then said and grinned.

''Your most welcome and you know me, I just have to choose something cute and cuddly'' Vanessa said, mostly to all three guys. She started to stamp on the pump again and she saw that it airbed slowly was getting filled with air.

By the time she was halfway, she was tired of stamping. ''Geez.. so much air'' she said and then started stamping on the pump again. Ralphie walked up to her and took it over. ''You go hang up those weird lamps...'' he said and Vanessa nodded. She hang the little lanterns around the outside of her tent entrance and smiled. ''In the evening I'll put electric tea lights in them so you have a little bit of the nice soft light you get from them'' Vanessa said with her smile. Her tent always had been decorated. She found a, maybe weird, kind of rest in putting up decorations or getting a room decorated, she simply loved it. She always had said, if I can't make it as a photographer, then I'll become a interior designer. Once her tent was done and her air bed was filled with air and placed inside with her sleeping bag and pillows, she looked at the guys. ''When are you guys gonna do your tents ?'' she asked. ''Because... I wanna go for a swim with you three.. We didn't do our welcome dive yet.. You know, the one we always do at the beginning of the new week'' she said.

[Twilights Curse]

once they let her go out of the hug, and Xaven got to meaningful look, they'd helped her finish up her camp site before they were finally done. Ralph rubbed his leg, having been pumping away. "im going to buy you a automatic pump so i dont have to do that again manually" he smirked. Xaven laughed. "aww, baby boy" grabbing Ralphie and rough housing a bit, before pushing each other away. "we can set ours up later" Xaven then answered with Drake nodding. "yea, wont take us long, so i say lets go swimming" pulling his shirt off, just as Xaven did, both of them already wearing their trunks so, not like they had to change much.

Ralph shook his head "let me go change real fast" rushing off with his pillow she'd gotten him. Xaven stood, throwing his shirt into Vanessa's tent, winking at her when he did. it would give him reason to come sneaking back during the night to come and get it, and then.. well wouldnt take a genius to figure out his plan. "well come on then" Drake said, clapping his hands at Vanessa "lets go, lets go, now you got me wanting to swim"

[BeautifulSnow]

Vanessa smiled at Xaven and Drake and when they took off their shirts she acted very shy. ''Oh my!'' she said and hid her face behind her hands but fingers spread so she could 'peek'. ''What are you guys doing now?'' she said but grinned, seeing Xaven throw his shirt into her tent she lowered her hands and raised an eyebrow.

She then looked at Drake and Xaven again and smiled. ''Silly ones'' she said and put one arm in the air and unzipped her dress and let it fall on the ground. ''Ha, I was way faster'' she said and stuck out her tongue at them, she stepped out of her dress and turned around. She looked back to see where Ralph was. ''Ralphie! Hurry, it's very rude to make a lady wait!'' she said and right after she said so, Ralphie came back with a towel too. Vanessa dived into her tent and grabbed herself, Xaven ánd Drake a towel and after getting out of her tent, she slapped both guys with it. ''Because Dumb and Dumber like to forget this always'' she said and looked at Xaven when saying 'Dumb' and at Drake when saying 'Dumber'. Then she kicked out her flipflops and ran of. ''Last one in the water is a egg-head!'' she said.

[Twilights Curse]

Xaven and Drake laughed when she faked covering her eyes. "your Delicate nature was corrupted long ago" Drake said, as Xaven nodded. "yes it was, and we know you like checking out the goods" flexing a bit as they waited for Ralph to come back from changing. when she dropped out of the dress, Xaven stared at her with that look, the same one from the first night together, then the one in the jeep, it was the look of want. Drake had it as well.

at the brow Arch, Xaven just smirked, giving a wink that would say he'd tell her later. once Ralph got back, and Vanessa dove into her tent, Ralph kicked his own shoes off. "i had to change i wasnt swimming in my jeans, and you make us wait all the time on you" he reminded then she came back out and Xaven and Drake both got a good pop with the towel. "yoew!" Drake said, grabbing it. "why am i dumber?" he asked. "clearly" Xaven said, taking his own towel as he began backing up. "cause im smarter then you" and at the words, the race was on.

"Cheater!" Ralph called out, sprinting after Vanessa, and like always Xaven and Drake pushing each other trying to best the other. it was a male thing, to show who was the best, but even running like that, they were catching up. Xaven with a quick push to Drake, he put more power into his legs and came right up behind Vanessa, grabbing her up "gotcha" he laughed, dropping their towels right at the Dock, before he sprinted them right out to the end and lept clean off right into the water while holding her in his arms "WE WIN" before the massive splash and they went under. then on either side of them, two other splashes as Ralph cannonballed in, and Drake in true show boat fashion dove in, shooting through the water like a dart.

[BeautifulSnow]

Vanessa laughed but when Xaven lifted her from the ground she yelled and laughed. ''Whaaa!!!'' she said and hold on tight to him and once they where underwater she let go of him. She saw Ralphie and Drake in the water too and smiled before going back up. Once trough the surface again she breathed and giggled. Of course she had seen the looks in Xaven and Drakes eyes and last summer or the summer before she wouldn't have known what that look would mean but now she did, and she didn't know how to react on it.. Or.. She didn't know how to react on Drake's look.

She swum back to the dock and climbed on it. Once turned around she saw three pair of almost begging eyes. ''Oh look at the three of you.. So cute, with those big puppy eyes'' she said. ''I should have taken my camera with me but it's still in the tent'' she said and giggled. Then she jumped back into the water, right in front of the three so they all got splashed. Once she got back to the surface for the third time, she looked at the three of them. ''For ever together right?'' she asked and she saw Ralphie nod. ''Hell yeah, I wouldn't know what to do without my friends'' he said.

Vanessa smiled and placed her hand right above the water. ''Shall we then now finally make a official pack? One with a promise to never lie, never hide and never leave each other?'' she asked with a little smile and looked at the three of them. Raphie laid his hand on hers and now she waited for the other two.

[Twilights Curse]

with all of them underwater, Xaven laughed and kicked for the surface, breaking through he tossed his head back to get his hair out of his face just as Ralph then Drake broke through as well and now they all tread water and watch as she climbed out and turned back around, laughing at them. "want me to go get it?" Xaven asked when she mentioned her camera being back in her tent, but that question died when she dove right in front of them and caught them all in her splash, making them laugh. oh the Splash fights were coming, that is for sure. Drake, at her question nodded. "forever" he said. Xaven smiled. "try to keep me away"

when she placed her hand right above the rippling water, and she gave her speech. Ralph was first, then Drake nodded and laid his on top of Ralph's and then Xaven's laid his over all of theirs. "sounds like a plan to me. though sucks the other two couldn't be here with us" meaning the other two of their friends that had taken different paths with their life, not that there was anything wrong with that at all. Xaven, with his hand on top gave all theirs a squeeze before he kicked back. "now lets have some fun!!" he yelled out, before he brought his large, muscular arms around, just barely in the water which cause him to send a wave of water heading right for all three of them as he laughed.

[BeautifulSnow]

Vanessa smiled and was happy they liked the idea. ''The other two are allowed in our pack too, but only if they feel like it, yet again: Always welcome'' she said and when she saw Xaven making a wave of water, she breathed in and just before it would hit her, she let herself sink down and escape by swimming down and left the corner they made. She came back up behind them and laid her hands on Xaven's shoulder, pushing him down but at that same time she got attacked by two splashed from both Ralphie and Drake so she dived down too again.

Once down under she looked at Xaven with a smile and swam away, she went for Drake and grabbed his ankle and pulled him down. Right before he tried to grab her, she turned around and went back up to breath. Ralphie then splashed her again and she started to splash him in return.

[Twilights Curse]

Xaven would laugh as he got Ralph and Drake before he felt feminine fingers on his shoulder and pushed him down into the water not that he cared, he spun around only to see her swimming away from the assault on the surface coming from Ralph and Drake. he smiled back, before watching her swim away. "ha, we got her on.." Drake had been saying before he was suddenly under the water, having been pulled under. Ralphie, the only one left began splashing her, not before he yelped as he went flying into the air, Drake and Xaven together having caught his feet and tossed him straight up.

Xaven came up laughing so hard his headache came rushing back with a vengeance as he groaned, rubbing his temple. Drake shook his own head, no longer laughing either but not in as much pain as Xaven was. when Ralph rose back to the surface, back facing them it was bright red from having back flopped into the water. turning around he flipped Xaven and Drake off. "not cool, its suppose to be boys against the girl like it always is" Xaven shook his head. "its a free for all baby boy" since he was the youngest in their age group. Xaven swam up to Vanessa, wrapping his arms around her waist and swam up behind her, holding her back against his chest, his hands rubbing along her stomach. "what are we doing tonight?" Drake asked, purposefully trying to ignore what Xaven was doing
