     Kennet ran up on the beach and rummaged through her bag to find her phone.  She texted her parents saying she had a surprise for them down on the beach behind the hotel and to come down as soon as they were done.  Then she ran back down to the water to join her friends.

    Later, she ran up on the beach to greet her parents.

     "What's the surprise?" Kendra asked.

     "I found him." Kennet said, with tears in her eyes.  Her parents gasped and pulled her into a hug.

    "Did Jade find hers?" Kendra asked.

    "Yes,mom, ours are best friends just like us."

    "Sometimes the universe is funny like that."

    They let go of her and saw tears streaming down her cheeks.

     "Let's go get some dinner to celebrate." Steve said.  "We'll meet you in the hotel lobby while you guys get changed." They turned and flew toward the hotel.

    Kennet turned toward Keith and saw his smiling face shatter.  He pulled her close.

    "Why the tears?"Keith said and she could hear the sadness in his voice and it broke her heart.

    "They're happy tears, not sad tears." she said wiping them away.

    "Oh, in that case, I believe a dinner was mentioned." He said with a smile.  She laughed and they started up towards the hotel.

     Kennet picked out a tropical blue sundress that stopped just above the knee.  She went into the bathroom to change and when she came out, she found Jade sitting on her bed crying.

     "Jade, what's wrong?" Kennet said rushing over to her.

     "They're happy tears, genius." Jade said giving her a smack on the arm.  "Okay I'm going to go change now."

     "Hurry up.  We got two smokin' hot guys waiting for us." Kennet said.

     "I really like that description of me." Keith said as he walked into the room.

    "I'm flattered, Kennet, but I'm taken." Kyle said.

    "You better be!"Jade shouted from the bathroom.

    They all laughed.  Jade came out of the bathroom and Kyle couldn't help but stare at her.

     "What's the matter?  Do you like the view?" Jade did a little swish of her hips.  She knew she looked hot and embraced it.

     "You better believe it." Kyle grabbed her and pulled her close, giving her a kiss on the cheek.  She shoved him away and tried to hide her reddening face.

     Keith leaned in towards Kennet and she put a hand on his chest to stop him.

     "If you come any closer, you will lose an arm." Kennet tried really hard not to think about how well built he was.  Keith backed up so quickly he tripped and landed on the floor.  Kennet started laughing so hard a choking sound came our of her mouth and she had trouble breathing.

     "Help me up!" Keith shouted holding up his hand.  Kennet gave him a skeptical look before grabbing it and getting pulled to the ground herself.  Jade came over and helped her up.  Then a chirp came from Kennet's bag and Keith flew across the room to get her phone.  He ran out into the hall with it and she followed.  She barreled into him in the elevator.  She hit the lobby button and reached for her phone.  Unfortunately for her, Keith was taller than her.  She grabbed his collar yanked down.  He stumbled forward and she retrieved her phone.  She saw she had a text from her parents: taking too long. meet us at country roadhouse down the road.  Karana, party of six.
