"Mmmm," Mike sighed as we parted for air, his lips a mere few centimeters from mine, "You're forgiven."

"Good," I smiled, leaning forward and kissing him again, sighing as his tongue immedietly snaked it's way into my mouth. I let my tongue fight with his, wrapping my arms around his neck as he slid his own arms around my waist.

I let out a yelp as something grabbed my ankles suddenly, yanking me underwater, Mike following. We surfaced to find Chester and Joel laughing and high-fiving each other.

"You guys suck," Mike spat, wiping the water from his eyes, "We were kinda busy y'know."

"Yeah, you WERE kinda busy," Joel giggled, both him and Chester erupting into another round of laughing.

"Cute," I smirked, "Anyways I'm hungry. Who wants to eat lunch?"

"ME!!" Chester grinned, "I'm starved."

"You're ALWAYS starved," Mike laughed, "All you do is eat Chester."

"Hey, I'm a growing boy," Chester smiled, "I need my food."

"Yeah yeah," Mike smiled sweetly at him, "Growing the WIDE way."

Chester gasped, his eyes wide. "Alright Noda, you better sleep with one eye open from now on!"

*Mike*

After we finally got out of the pool and changed, the four of us were walking towards town, trying to see if there was anywhere we could eat. For some reason, I felt really hungry, more hungry than I usually feel. And I felt like I'd been living in the bathroom. It seemed like I always had to go. Maybe I got a bladder infection or something. But that wouldn't explain my sudden hunger...

"Don Pablo's," Joel read the sign, "Original Mexican Food. That place sounds good. Everyone agree on Mexican?"

"I do," Benji smiled, his hand holding mine tightly, "How about you Mike?"

"Sounds good," I smiled, "Chazzy?"

"I say, let's eat!" Chester grinned, "I'm starved."

We went inside and got a booth, me and Benji sitting on one side, and Chester and Joel across from us. "This may be a mistake..." Joel trailed off, "The whole menu is in Spanish... i forgot Spanish after high school ended."

"Me too," Benji laughed, "We're screwed."

"Nah, I know Spanish," Chester smiled, "I lived in Arizona, and that was close enough to Mexico that I had a few Mexican friends who spoke Spanish. I kinda picked up on it from them."

"Then we're saved!" Joel grinned, hugging Chester tightly, and kissing his cheek, "You're my hero."

"Gag me," Benji giggled, "I can clearly see that love is in bloom for you two."

"Then you got good eyesight," Joel smirked, "Anyways, I think I'll have the Quesedia thingies. They look cool."

"Yeah... what're Taquitos?" I asked, "Are they these rolled up thingies?"

"Mmmhmm," Chester nodded, "I think we'd do better ordering the sampler thing, so we can all see what we like and all, and then order."

"You've done this before, haven't you," Joel laughed as Chester blushed.

"Why yes, I have at some Japanese place before, and Mr. Half-Japanese over there didn't even know how to speak it, so we ended up with a sampler thing first."

"Hey, just 'cause I have Japanese in me, don't mean I know it," I laughed, "No one at home ever spoke it so I never learned it."

"Soundcheck at five and the show at eight," Billy told me, "They cut it really close this time for some reason."

"I noticed," I nodded. We were standing on the side stage, watching the other bands do their soundchecks before us. We were up last to do our's.

"Where's the rest of GC?" I asked Billy, "Did they vanish?"

"Yep," he grinned, "Actually, Paul's determined to beat my high score on Tetris, so the three of them are huddled around the Game Boy before we're up."

"Sounds... fun," I laughed.

"Fun?" Billy snickered, "To anyone who doesn't know them, it seems like they have no life."

"Good point..." I nodded, watching as Linkin Park went onstage to do their soundcheck.

"So, you and Benj have been pretty close with those two Linkin Park guys," Billy observed, "Anything going on there I should know about?"

"Well... see the guy with the flame tattoos on his wrists? That's Chester, and he's my new boyfriend, and the other guy who's singing with him is Mike, and you already know about him and Benj."

"Congrats man," Billy smiled, "I was wonderin' when you'd get yourself a good man."

*~*~*~*

*Chester*

"Maaaaaaaan I'm hyped!" Joel grinned as he and Benji ran offstage after their set, "That crowd is nuts!"

I smiled and nodded, hugging Joel slightly. Not too much, since he was all hot a sweaty. Good Charlotte had performed last, since they did their soundcheck last.

"Well, we should get back to the room and shower our stinkin' selves," I smiled at Joel, sliding my arm around his waist and following Benji and Mike outside, "We have tomarrow off before we head to Dallas. Would you wanna go see a movie with me?"

"Sure," Joel smiled, "I'd love to."
