Thread: A Summer Like No Other ~

Author's notes:
This story is mainly going to be adventure and romance, not just romance. :)

Someone once told me that fanfiction is nothing more than a bunch of cliches cramped into terribly-written superficial stories by unworthy teenagers. To that I replied: But that's the point.
These stories don't have to be any good, they're not going to get published, they won't be made into movies.
The point of these stories is not to create a masterpiece of writing, nor a literary piece of art.
The point is to have FUN, writing and reading.

And that is why I am going to enjoy every moment of reading others' stories.
And that's why I am going to enjoy every moment of writing this story.
And that is why I will fill my story with every cliche I can possibly think of, on purpose.
And I truly hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

... so here goes nothing!
PS: That is how I created my 1st Fanfic :) Also sorry the beginning is slow, I needed to introduce the idea

You can’t help who you fall in love with <3

CHAPTER 1

"Yes daddy, I can take care of myself... I'm 17, remember?" I rolled my eyes.
"But you'll always be my little girl" Smiling, he pinched my cheek just to annoy me, and well, it worked. "I won't be long, one week max... promise."
I waved goodbye, and as he drove off I heard him shout "One week!"

I guess this was the price to pay to have a dad working for the CIA. I had to admit, it was an awesome job! Or in the words of my BFF Skylar: 'totally kick-ass'! I was always very proud of all he had accomplished, but it really didn't feel like he was an agent... it was more as if he was a doctor on call 24/7, or a businessman who travelled all the time. Not like in those movies where the family had to constantly worry for their lives because they were constantly kidnapped, nah. Life felt pretty normal.

"So it's just you and me now?" I said, turning to my cat, Olivia. She stared at me with her big green eyes, probably thinking 'meow'. Not a complex cat, I'll admit, but she was a sweetheart.
I climbed up into my room and scribbled in my diary.

Dear diary,
Dad's off again, god knows where... Switzerland I think? Or was it Spain? Here's another rant about how he never spends enough time with me... blah blah blah. But on the bright side, summer is almost here! And I can't wait to do something exciting with my life, considering how unproductive last summer was... Dad better take me somewhere. As much as I love it here it always manages to get dull. Everything is just too redundant, I want change.
:/

I quickly locked my diary, threw the key into the bedside drawer, and headed downstairs to watch some TV. I told myself I would sleep early because tomorrow was the last day of school, and I might as well save myself from having to worry about the bags under my eyes... but I ended staying up till 12 anyway. Figures.

BEEP BEEP BEEP
If there's anything I hated in this world more than the infernal beeping of my alarm clock, it was getting up early. My eyes wouldn't open. This is the last day, you can do this. I stumbled out of bed, made my way to the bathroom and washed my face.
I got dressed, fed Olivia and grabbed my bag. What was I forgetting? Oh yeah, keys! Quickly seizing them off the counter, I locked the door behind me and jogged my way over to my bike.
As I pedaled, I remembered that I had to get there early today because I said I'd meet Perla in front of her locker, apparently she had something to show me and she sounded excited... so no long way through the park today.

"Evaaa!!! Last day of school!" I heard a familiar voice shout out to me.

"Yesssssss finally! It feels like we've been waiting forever"

Both Skylar and Perla were waving at me from the end of the hallway.
"Always inseparable, huh?" I laughed

"Since birth!" Perla answered

"Guys I've got to go get all the junk out of my locker for good, see ya!"

"Okay, bye Skylar! See you in biology", mental note: don't forget to also empty your locker at the end of the day

"So Perla, what's gotten you so excited? besides the obvious..."

CHAPTER 2

"So Perla, what's gotten you so excited? besides the obvious..."

"Guess what came out yesterday at Macy's"

"Um... new dresses?"

"Here's a hint: I'm wearing it"

"Hm... new shoes? Come on, you know I'm bad at guessing"

"Terrible!" She laughed "No, it's the new Justin Bieber Perfume!!!! Doesn't it smell AMAZING?? Here smell! I've already gotten 8 complements on the bus today"

"I love how you get all worked up over this... you and your obsession" I replied, smiling. "It's been long enough since you mentioned him, I was beginning to worry"

The bell rang loudly near us. Still laughing, we locked arms and headed to class.

How this girl managed to get obsessed is beyond me. After she dragged us to watch his movie 'Never Say Never' I knew it would *cough*never*cough* end. Sure at first it was a bit annoying, but we managed to get used to her constant blabbing on and on...

I mean I get the idea, the guy is gorgeous, I'm not blind. But why the obsession? Beats me. I guess I'm just immune to his charm, or his (as they call it) his 'Bieber Fever'.

Anyways, school went by faster than I thought. We didn’t have any hard-core studying but we did have summer homework… LOTS. All together I would say it was a good day. This marks the beginning of my summer, officially! Ironically, I seemed to be the only one who hadn’t made plans. I said goodbye to the twins and headed home, taking the long way.

If felt like just another ordinary day… no surprises. Same routine… *sigh* I guess it wasn’t summer yet. I got home only to find the TV flashing with a red exclamation mark, a video message from dad. This better be a surprise vacation I just need to do something. Anything. I’m desperate.


-Incoming Message-

Hi sweetie! How was your last day of school? Hope everything was good, call me if u need anything

Anyways I just wanted to say that, even though I’ve only been gone a day, something came up. This mission is gonna take longer than a week… I’m SO sorry. You know how bad guys can be unpredictable, well this one just plain… vanished. I’ll do my very best to get back as soon as I can!

The good news is I plan on making it up to you: I organized a little surprise… I know how badly you’ve been wanting a vacation, so a good friend of mine should be dropping by soon and she’ll explain everything to you. I can give you a hint though: if you accept, you won’t need to wait for me to come back, you’ll have your own adventure.

Again I’m sooo sorry honey… Take care!

-Message Terminated-

I laughed at his puppy-dog eyes and pout, always a kid at heart. No wonder he loved his job. A surprise, huh? Hmm… I shouldn’t get too excited, only because I wasn’t sure what my dad’s idea of a ‘surprise’ was. So from what I gathered, a certain friend was dropping by soon, and was going to offer me an opportunity for an adventure? No hesitations: YES!

i lovveee it updateee

sounds really awesome!!!! UPDATE!!!!!

Amazing! !!!!! Youre a good writer!

CHAPTER 3

But now I was too excited and curious to rest... “dropping by soon” … how soon? I could kill the time with another diary entry and a couple of wild guesses.

Dear diary,
Last day of school’s highlights: Another delayed mission, I got to bike the long way back home and Perla got a new Bieber perfume… what a day.
Good news is dad is going to surprise me with some sort of an adventure. If I know dad, it will be something like a new spy tech device I could play with. And this ‘old friend’ is probably his former partner Silvia or his boss Marie. Whatever the surprise may be, I hope it finds a way to fill up my whole summer.
Note to self: re-read this diary entry when my summer is over. Just for fun
(:

I didn’t bother locking my diary and just left it on my bed. I would probably write in it some more later anyway. I went to feed Olivia and refill her water bowl. Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. I rushed to the door as fast as I could and opened the door, smiling. How could I not? I was genuinely excited!

To my shock, it was Perla. I sighed. Seriously dad? You send over my BFF to entertain me?
“Perla! What are you doing here?” I asked, sounding a bit too surprised “Did my dad send you?”

“What? …no I just came over cuz my date stood me up” She looked down

“Oh my gosh! That’s HIS loss! Come in…” I gave her a big hug. "Where's your twin?"

"Right now, I couldn't care less... Why were you so shocked to see me?"

“Sorry I was just expecting someone else…”

“Really? Who?” She really didn’t seem too upset.

“I actually don’t know, here let me show you” I walked her in and replayed my dad’s video message to her. She watched carefully and kept her reaction until the end.

“Eva that’s awesome! Why aren’t you super excited?!?!” She jumped up and down, apparently forgetting all about her date.
“I am!”
“So do you have any idea what it could be?”

“Nope, but it’s probably just a new gadget or something”

“Hmm... I wouldn’t underestimate your dad” She winked at me “I’m gonna go upstairs, I’ll wait for you in your room, ok?”

“Sure! Just don’t read my diary”

“Promise!”

The doorbell rang again. This time, I wasn’t as excited. It was probably Perla’s twin, Skylar, here to check up on her.

Except it wasn’t.

I was staring at a relatively short woman with straight brown hair. She seemed in her mid thirties. Oddly familiar... I knew I had seen her before...

“May I help you?”

“Hi, let me introduce myself, my name is Patricia. But you can call me Pattie.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DUN DUN DUNNN... xD
What do you think will happen next? O:
I would love to hear all your ideas!

updateee

Nuhuh!!!! Th@ is so cool!!!
Update!

CHAPTER 4

"Hi, let me introduce myself, my name is Patricia. But you can call me Pattie.”

It hit me. Patricia Mallette was standing outside my door. What were the odds? I stared at her in total disbelief.

“c-c-come in!” I stuttered

“Thanks” She smiled sweetly

I lead her to the living room.

“Did my father send you?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything”

We were cut off by a yell from upstairs “Eva, wha was that?”

I had forgotten about Perla! Oh my gosh.

“Could you excuse me for a second? My friend upstairs happens to be one of your son’s biggest fans and-“

“Bring her down! I would love to meet her”

"Are you sure?"

"I hear girls scream every day, one more wouldn't hurt!"

“Thank you! I think you just made her year!" I yelled, trying to hide my laughter. Why was I this happy? I mean, sure I'd never met a celebrity before... but I knew they were normal people. And this wasn't even a celeb, this was their mom. So why was I shaking?

"Perla? PERLA! Oh my gosh hurry!!”

She walked out of my room “What’s going on?”

“Come down NOW I have a surprise for you in the living room! You’re gonna freak!”

“Okay I’m coming…” She hurried down the steps and looked around to see what the fuss was about. She stared at the back of a stranger in the living room. Then, Pattie turned around and smiled at her.

---------

Fortunately, Perla's parents came to pick her up. I didn't know how much more I could handle. Pattie of course seemed used to it... how? How on earth could someone be okay with random girls always yelling? "I LOVE YOUR SON OMG!" Ugh... Right there and then, I gained more respect for Pattie and her whole family.

Of course Perla didn't want to leave but she couldn't keep her mom waiting.

"C-can I p-p-please have one l-last p-picture?" she managed to say and not scream

"Of course sweetie!" In total, Perla had managed to take 27 pictures. I had never seen her like this before and I don't think I'll ever be able to forget this frenzy.

I closed the door behind her and the house was suddenly very quiet. Wow.

"Yeah... so... sorry about that... she's just..."

"No worries" Pattie said softly, although I did get a sense that it was more extreme than what she was used to. "Now, I bet you're wondering why I'm here"

In all the chaos I had to admit, I had forgotten about why she came in the first place.

"Well I needed a favor, a really big favor. I trust your dad very much. He helped my family out a lot and he's actually the reason we found Kenny. We are extremely grateful but now something else has come up. You dad says I can trust you, so would you be willing to help me out?"
