It's break at Emerlie University, and one spontaneous blond ex-rockstar and his ex-bandmate, now boyfriend suddenly set up a road trip. They round up the whole gang and have now departed on their summer trip. For two months the crew are going to be aimlessly driving around the country, going to see the sights and soak in the scenery. But others might have things in mind, such as breaking hearts, getting a new sizzling hot summer romance, and what remains to be seen. Just what will three whole months being cooped up in a bus and perhaps a few cars do to these young adults? Because sometimes, you just get sick of seeing someone's face after so much time together. Just depends on how your character will deal with it. Buckle up, we're in for one hell of a summer.


Disclaimer: The picture to your right is not the bus they are traveling on. And no, my dears, it's not a pimp bus. It's a Volkswagen.

1. Literacy.Literacy is an absolute must. We expect at the very least one paragraph. This paragraph should consist of five or more sentences. One liners are unacceptable. I’m sorry, but five sentences is not asking too much. You should write in third person and in past tense. There shall be absolutely no **’s or anything of the nature for actions. Speech should go in quotations. Use proper grammar and a spell checker if needed.

2. Posting.A post everyday would be nice, if not more than once a day. However, we understand that people do have lives. Therefore, we created a nifty policy. If you have not posted in two days, you will receive a PM. Two days after receiving this PM, if you have not yet made a post, your profile is deleted. If you have a really good reason for not posting, your profile may be put back up. For example, we’d understand if a family member died or something like that.

3. Profiles.You must follow the profile skeleton we post. Do not change it in any manner. Altered profiles will not be accepted. The skeleton is there for a reason. Your profiles should be titled as well. When sending your profile, title it “Brat Pack.” Any profiles without this title will not be accepted. Your profile may either be sent to
X_CandyCoatedRainboww or K I k I k0lada. Do not send it to Lukereplica because he has a job, so it may not get answered.


4. Appearances.We do not want anime pictures. End of story. Use real people only. We have limitations, however. You may not use Alex Evans, Matthew Lush, KikiCannibal or Hannabeth. They are over-used, and we are tired of seeing them. Use other people. You may not use Tyler Toxiphobia, Bou [An Café] or Gregory Rabbit. They are already being used. Otherwise, with the exception of those listed, go nuts.

5.Gaian TOS.Really, people, these are self-explanatory. Follow them. End of story.

6. Formatting.Let’s make these posts something pretty to look at. Size 9-11 fonts, an image and some form of quotations would be nice. Any questions?

7. Space.There are as of now five spots available on the bus. However, following the bus in your own car is perfectly acceptable and encouraged. On a side note, the bus is a double-decker bus.

8. Multiple Characters.You are allowed to play more than one character. However, if all the spots on the bus are filled, your other character must have his or her own mode of transportation.

Niko Sanchez had been invited by his best friend, Ian Tailee, for a trip across the country with some other friends. All of which, Niko had never met. He had heard about Sam a few times. This only because Sam was Ian's new boyfriend, therefore, Sam was also the first thing Niko heard about when he talked to Ian on the telephone. Unlike Ian, Niko did not attend Emerlie University. He had stayed at an instate college to save his family some money. The people that would be on the double-decker bus would be total strangers for the raven haired male. He suddenly wished he had made Nessa come with him. However, Ian would have to do, if he wasn't all over his boyfriend the entire time.

The raven haired male leaned against the outside of the bus, awaiting Ian to find him. His fingers made their way to his necklace and tangled within the chain. It was a nervous habit he had developed from wearing so many necklaces. He sighed, wondering if the trip was going to be worth it. Perhaps there would be somebody on the trip worth talking to besides Ian.



“I don’t want to fall in love.
I don’t want to see the stars
Up above in the sky.
I just want to catch your eye.”
Now everybody in this b***h gettin tipsy,
Everybody in the b***h gettin tipsy.
1, here comes the 2 to the 3 to the 4,


          Aeron groaned. Bus. Bus. Where is the bus? She's been running around for about twenty minutes now. ALL OF THE BUSES LOOK THE SAME. Frowning, she stopped and wrinkled her nose. Okay Aeron. Relax. You can find the damn bus. She peered around the corner of another bus, and staring at the ground, ran to the side of a second bus. She did this repeatedly until she finally came to a bus with a male leaning against it.

          Quick to assume, Aeron smiled. "Hewwo there! I'm Aeron. I guess you're Ians' friend, mmhm? Nice to meet you!" She didn't even think about the fact that this may be the wrong person. Aeron made herself comfortable, tired of walking on her feet, and sat across from the unknown boy. "So where are you from?" Aeron was a very curious girl. Always. Always nosy, always asking questions. Of course, she was still kind of young. Eighteen. Young for college. But I bet her college professors wish she'd ask more questions in class, instead of sleep and come high.

Niko's aquamarine eyes fell upon the blond who was talking to him. She seemed to be asking a lot of question. He tried to more attention to her instead of the necklace he had around his neck. It was a difficult task to accomplish.

"I'm Niko," he finally replied, after a moment of fidgeting with his necklace, "Ian's friend from California." His braces were shown as he spoke. He was a bit too old for braces, but the dentist had waited late to decide that the male needed them. He absolutely hated his braces with every fiber of his being. They were nothing but an inconvenience.

"Speaking of Ian, would you happen to know where he is?" Niko asked, curious as to where his friend was. He assumed that Ian was either sleeping or doing something with his boyfriend.

Sonny had been in the bathroom for about an hour, before she finally emerged, steam billowing out after her. Coughing a bit, she ran a hand through her multi-colored hair, and tightened the towel, that barely hug against her small body. Slipping on some black skinny jeans, and a black and white spotted star shirt, she threw on an open white hoodie, and took a quick check in the mirror. Holding up a quick thumbs up, she closed her door and made her way down the stairs. Twenty minutes later, she'd become frustrated and annoyed. The buses all looked completely similar, and she had no idea where the one she was supposed to be on was. Scowling, Sonny took a second trip, and spotted two people who seemed to be conversing. Sucking in a deep breathe, she closed her eyes, and slowly walked over. Tugging on her left snakebite a bit, with her lip, she smiled. Looking over the girl, a smile brightened her face, dimpling her cheeks. Her icy blue eyes traveled over the boy who seemed to be that boy Ian invited. Smirking, she silently thought to herself. Pretty cute, nice choice, Ian.

Opening her arms, she hugged her friend tightly, and left a quick peck n her cheek. It was a French custom, she'd never gotten rid of. As the male spoke, presumably Niko, she smiled. Braces.. huh? That's weird, most people ha by now, gotten rid of them. Wrinkiling her nose a bit, she prepared for her heavy accent to cloud up her words.

"Hello, my name iz Zonnet, Sonnet, but call me Sonny, mmkay? Nice to meet you Niko, and long time no zee Aeron!" Relaxing her grip on her friends shoulder, she rested her headon it instead. Quite comfortable actually.
Now everybody in this b***h gettin tipsy,
Everybody in the b***h gettin tipsy.
1, here comes the 2 to the 3 to the 4,


          Aeron frowned. She figured she was being a bit overbearing. Of course! It happened often. She just had a tendency to talk fast. Really fast. "Nice to meet you, Niko." She repeated herself from before now that she knew his name.

          With a finger, she played with her lip. "Mmm. I'm not quite sure where Ian is." Concentrating, she couldn't remember if Ian had told her before or not. "He'll probably be here soon. Can't just let us stay here all night, now can he?" A smile grew on her lips as she played with her lip ring.

          Frowning again, she pondered, "I hope he gets here soon, though. I'm bad at waiting around." She looked up at him and studied Niko for the first time. He wasn't bad looking, not at all. Quite cute, in fact. She ran a hand through her hair, and 'mmfed' when her bracelet got caught. Jerking her hand a little bit, she managed to get it untangled.

          Aeron looked up from her hair entwined with her bracelet to see Sonny. "Oh it's been too long Sonny! She hugged her friend back tightly, then patted her on the head when she rested her head on Aerons on shoulders. "Comfy, 'ey there love?" Oh don't worry, Aeron never makes any sense.

Niko stared at the two for a moment before fidgeting once more with his necklace. He tried not to smile. His braces weren't exactly the part of him he wanted people to see. However, he was rather confident about the rest of himself and adjusted the way he was leaned against the bus, posing slightly. It was something he did without thinking much. He could pose naturally, and a few friends had said he should consider modeling because of this. Niko himself had never thought much about modeling. His thoughts drifted back to Ian and just what that blond could be up to.

"Probably trying to wake up Sam or something," he said, making assumptions, "Or raping Sam. Neither would quite surprise me."

His eyes fell upon the other girl for a moment, and he couldn't recall if he had introduced himself or not.

"Oh yeah, I'm Niko." A grin crept across his face, and despite his braces, he made little effort to make it go away.

Sonnet had noticed the boys' fidgeting, and a small smirk spread across her face as she watched him. Tugging on her lip ring with her tongue, she looked behind her. Paranoia was something she seemed to have all of the time, no matter where they happened to be. With the pat that followed after making Aeron's shoulder her headrest, she giggled again, her dimples began popping in and out, as she tried to stop. As he smiled she once again, noticed her braces. She scrunched up her face, as she usually did when something looked cute to her.
"Ces attaches paraissent si mignonnes sur vous! Er, I mean, vell those bracez look zo cute on you.. don't hide them." Shaking her head at her sudden outburst of French, she lifted her head and leaned against the bus. Touching her eye to make sure her mascara wasn't coming off, Sonny frowned. Where in the hell was Ian, she was already getting antsy, and waiting for her friend was making matters worse.

As he cracked the joke about Niko, she laughed, but didn't dare say anything. Her French had decided to make its grand entrance today, and her constantly confusing everyone with her words, would not help anything. By the end of the day, they'd be completely tuning her out. The wind seemed to knick at her exposed skin, and she cowered a little bit closer to Aeron for warmth. Feeling the heat she sighed, "It'z pretty cold out here, ya?". As she finished the comment, she shivered a bit, as her eyes once again, took to overlooking the boy. Hopefully her staring wasn't making him uncomfortable.

Ian pried open the door to Samson's door, realizing that Zander must have purposely left it unlocked so that the blond could sneak in. He made his way towards to bed. The blond had come prepared. In his hands were two Starbucks cups. One for himself, and one for Sam. He knew Sam would need it when he woke up. The brunet always needed coffee in the morning. Ian rested the cups on a nightstand and sat on the edge of the bed, facing Sam. Leaning down, he quickly pecked Sam on the lips.

"Good morning, sunshine! The earth says hello!" beamed the blond, laughing as he did so.

Niko didn't quite understand where the blond had gotten the cold from. It was summertime. He shrugged the thoughts off and stared up at the sky, watching the clouds pass by. His fingers were now tangled in the chain and no longer fidgeting. He allowed his arm to hang by the chain wrapped around his fingers and his neck.

The girl seemed to like his braces. For the life of him, Niko couldn't figure out why. They were inconvenient and disgusting in his opinion. Of course, he figured most people with braces thought the same thing. Shrugging the thoughts off, Niko tried to make conversation.

"I noticed you were speaking French. That's pretty cool," the boy stated, wondering if that statement had seemed weird.

Forcing one bright blue eye to open just enough to see the owner of the familiar voice, Samson Searle groaned. He spied a cup of Starbucks and a blond Japanese boy. Each of the two pleased him, as the brunet was a self-proclaimed coffee addict and Ian was always a good thing to see. But at this hour, at this godforsaken hour, he couldn't even muster the energy to sit up. He mumbled groggily something that seemed almost not understandable to Ian, "Nah, buuh me, s'eep. Tah ear'ee, Ian, tah ear'ee."

Awaking without caffeine and before two in the afternoon was not one of the boy's strong suits. He barely managed to function most times in the morning, and when it had to do with morning classes he was a sight to see. Dragging his feet all around, practically falling asleep in the shower, never talking quite right until he had his first cup of coffee of the day was normal to the twenty-two year old.

And with his statement towards his boyfriend, his eyelid drooped and closed again as he struggled to stay awake. Sam faintly remembered something going on today, yet he couldn't place it. This thought was brushed aside as he fell into a light doze.


Because oh because
I've f a l l e n quite hard over, over you
If I didn’t know you, I'd rather not know
If I couldn’t have you, I'd rather be alone
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
A l l of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while, I never knew
