DeeDee & Wade Day two
Wade jumps off the motorbike and grins at DeeDee who is apparently mesmerized by Turkey Point.
"Wowee!" She gasps. "This is where you live?"
"Yah!" Wade takes her hand and leads her to a small shack where two small children are sitting outside licking lolly pops.
"Uncle Belvedere, Pepper!" Wade yells. "Come and meet my Angel DeeDee!"
A thin, scruffy man & a rather large teenage girl appear at the door. DeeDee shyly sticks out her hand for them to shake, but Pepper pulls her into a lung-crushing hug. "You better look after Wade,". She whispers in the poor Angel's ear.
Pepper lets go and DeeDee wheezes a little "I will,".
Wade frowns at Pepper. "Never do that again,". He snarls. "Are you ok darling?" He puts his face close to DeeDee's.
"I'm fine thank you,".
Wade smiles.. "Now how about that driving lesson?"
DeeDee raises her eyebrows and laughs. "Ok.. if you're sure,".

TM & Axel day two:
TM and Axel arrived in Arizona, in an old house. She looked around and thought she arrived in the middle of nowhere.
''You like it?'' Axel asked ''Oh yeah very much I'm only not used to this it's so quiet.'' TM said. ''Aw you will feel right at home soon.'' Axel said while putting the bagage on the floor.
TM watched Axel, while he moved from the one place to the other.
''No no you never liked me, your father was right'' ''What do you mean!'' Screams were coming from the hallway. ''You know what, goodbye mum!''
TM looked up. ''Axel who are they?'' TM asked. ''Oh that are Elaine and Grace, you know just let them be they are mother and daughter and they are always fighting.'' ''Oh'' TM said laughing. ''I hope they don't mind that I'm staying here with you Axel?'' TM said blushing. ''Oh no, I'm sure they won't mind.'' Axel said
TM looked at Axel and she starts thinking, '''Hey Axel, does that offer still stands?'' ''What offer?'' ''Well you mentioned flying, I would love to fly with you if you don't mind we can put the bagage up later, I would love to see this place.'' ''Sure dear, come on!'' Axel said while putting an arm around TM.
To be continued.

C, you are doing an excellent job of keeping John under control so far! I am very impressed ;D Can't wait to hear what else you got up to.
Day Four
Jay knew that what she was doing was wrong but the adrenaline was addictive. George had no trouble persuading her to do another two drops at the airport. It was all so easy. Walk in, drop the case, pick up the new one and leave.
“I’m not even nervous when I go in any more,” Jay told George as she climbed into his car.
“Oh yeah? Maybe it’s time for a bigger challenge.”
“What do you mean?” Jay asked suspicious of George’s grin.
“I’ll show you!”
He drove them to a tiny airfield some thirty miles out of the city. There was a small plane sitting idle on the runway. Beside it were two more cars, their occupants leaning lazily on the bonnets smoking.
“Please tell me that’s not your plane,” said Jay.
“It’s not my plane,” said George easily. Jay narrowed her eyes.
“But you’ve hired it, haven’t you?”
“That’s right. Don’t look so worried!” He reached over and brushed Jay’s face lightly with his fingertips. “I have it all worked out, it’s the perfect plan.” There it was again, that little word that promised too much. Still, George’s plans had worked out so far…there really wasn’t any reason to doubt this one, no reason but the niggling feeling in the back of her mind that simply refused to go away.
They were going to fly under cover of darkness. Jay listened to George go over the plan with his friends as the light faded and all she could make out clearly was the burning orange ends of their cigarettes. She didn’t realise how cold she was until George put his arm around her.
“You alright?” he asked her.
“Um…not really. We’re about to take a plane, fly it into Mexico, load it up with illegal cargo and fly it back to America. I don’t think I can do this, George.”
“Of course you can,” said George giving her shoulders a squeeze, “Besides, if you never move into the fast lane, how do you ever really know you’re alive?”
“Slow and steady wins the race, George,” Jay pointed out.
“Life’s not about winning. It’s about those poignant moments, the ones you’ll remember until the day you die. Are you ever going to forget this night?” Jay had to admit, he had a point.
Day Five
They landed in Mexico just after dawn. While George completed the deal, Jay took in the spectacular surroundings. She had never been to Mexico before. The furthest she had ever travelled with John was the seaside at Brighton and he had complained so much about not being in London that they had never strayed far from their usual route again. And now she was in Mexico. It was surreal.
“Jay?” She turned to see George waving at her. Behind him the plane was being loaded. Jay felt her stomach twist.
The return flight was a lot less relaxed. There was a lot of drumming fingers, nervous coughing and tight, tense voices. Even George seemed to be affected, his posture rather straighter than usual, his eyes fixed on a point beyond the window as if he was hoping he might spot trouble before trouble spotted him. As they began to descend for the landing, Jay found herself gripping the handrests so tightly her fingers hurt. George laid his hand on hers.
“Nearly there,” he said simply.
The plane came to a bumpy land. The engines cut out and died and for about thirty seconds nobody moved or spoke and then, as if on cue, all the men leapt from their seats and began to cheer. They had made it back to American soil. Jay remained in her seat as all around her celebrated their daring success. The niggling feeling was still there, something wasn’t right. That’s when she heard it, the high pitched keening far away but getting closer. Her blood ran cold.
“George!” He didn’t hear her at first. “George!” As soon as she had George’s attention, silence spread quickly. Jay did not need to say anything, the police sirens were clearly audible to all.
“GO!” Suddenly they were all running, scrambling to get out of the plane and into the cars that were still sitting untouched where they had left them. Jay hadn’t even managed to shut the door behind her when George started the engine and slammed his foot down. Neither of them spoke and Jay didn’t dare look back. All she could hear was the sound of her own heart, loud and terrified, in her chest.
(Day Six and Seven coming soon! I am really enjoying reading everyone else's stories...keep them coming!)

Please don't beat me over the head with a fish SS! #fishslap#
Day 3
DeeDee puts on her helmet with trembling hands. "Are you sure this is safe?"
Wade laughs and puts on his helmet. "Don't worry sweetie.. you'll be fine with ol' Cry Baby,". He climbs on the motorcycle. "We're going to a quiet place where i can teach you. No one'll be crushing your ribs,". He shoots an angry look at Pepper.
DeeDee climbs on behind him and the motorcycle speeds further and further away from Turkey Point. DeeDee feels the wind in her hair and she throws her head back laughing. "I love this feeling!"
The motorcycle starts slowing down and it comes to a sudden halt in front of a vast, deserted field. Wade climbs off and grins at DeeDee. "Here we are,".
DeeDee gulps. Will she make a fool of herself in front of Wade? She grins wildly and takes her place behind the handlebars.
"Now,". Wade leans towards her. "Hold tight onto the handlebars and start the engine,". DeeDee starts the engine and the motorcycle begins to rev. It goes along slowly with Wade walking alongside it. He smiles at her. "You're doing great. Think you can do it by yourself?"
"I'll try,". DeeDee looks braver than she feels.
Wade lets go of the motorcycle and DeeDee keeps her balance. "Look at me!" She gasps. "I'm on a motorcycle!" As soon as she says that the motorcycle begins to pick up speed and she finds herself speeding towards a nearby bundle of hay. "Wade!" She yells as the motorcycle crashes into the hay.
Wade runs towards the poor Angel and helps her to her feet. "I feel so dizzy,". She falls to the floor with her hands still in Wade's and he falls with her.

TM & Axel day three:
''Are you sure you want to do this?'' Axel said. TM looked at Axel with a nervous look. ''Uhm...uhm I think so'' TM said while looking at her hand wich were full with sweat. ''You will be fine I'll promis, now put your hand here and don't let go while I'll start the machine.''
Axel had a huge flying machine he made with Elaine, she loved to fly that is all she can think about. Axel told TM that they haden't quiet tested it yet but he said it would have to work.
''Oki doki are you ready!'' Axel screamed. ''Yes!'' And the huge flying machine lifted up in the air Axel could just jump on the chair before it flew and I could clearly tell he had done this before. ''TM put your hands down.'' Axel said. TM looked through her fingers one hand was holding Axel's right arm and one was in front of her face. ''Wow! this is pretty nice.'' TM said. ''You aren't scared of the heights anymore'' ''No it's beautiful up here I feel quiet comfortable now, and ofcourse I'm with you Axel'' Axel blushed.
After flying around for half an hour TM and Axel decided we should go inside, but first we had to get the flying machine on the ground.
''Axel what's that?'' TM screamed. Axel looked behind, smoke was all around us then the flying machine made a weird noise. ''AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!'' TM and Axel both screamed.
Few minutes later
''OUCH, well that was nice'' TM giggled and at the same time trying to put all kind of bugs of her clothes. ''Oh here let me help you'' Axel said. ''Thank you'' TM said. ''You know I think I need a cup of tea'' TM said. ''I will make some for you and I'll make some coffee for myself.'' And TM and Axel walked inside the huge house.

Day 1Lua looked at the Johnny Swap List. Her jaw dropped when she saw 'Don Juan' next to her name. Her heart started to race. "Wow!" she thought to herself, "a whole week with Don Juan!" Lua turned around and saw all the Angels saying goodbye to their Johnnys. She spotted Don Juan saying goodbye to their Johnnys. She spotted Don Juan saying goodbye to Dona M. After they said their goodbyes, Lua walked over to Don Juan. "Umm, hi Don Juan. I'm Lua and I'm going to be your Angel for the week." She stuck out her hand so he could shake it, but instead he kissed it. #mask# "It's nice to meet you señorita," he said in his sultry Spanish accent. Lua felt her face burn and her legs were turning into Jell-o. "So what will we do today?" Don Juan asked."Well, I was thinking that maybe we could go to the beach; would you like that?" Lua suggested."That sounds like a fantastic idea. I love the beach," said Don Juan. "But first we should find a place to stay for the week." "Alright, good idea. I know where we could stay! There's a condo right on the beach, the view from the balcony is beautiful," said Lua.Lua showed Don Juan the condo and they both agreed to stay there. They brought all their luggage in and got ready to go to the beach. When they got there, they chose a spot and put down all their towels, sunscreen, and sunglasses, which Lua had put in her beach bag. They each lay down a towel and sat on them. They talked and got to know each other a little better. They sat for an hour or so talking and playing with the sand."Would you like to go for a swim, Miss Lua?" Don Juan asked politely."Actually, I don't know how to swim," Lua replied, blushing slightly. "You don't? Would you like me to teach you how?" Don Juan asked."Really? You'd teach me how?!" Lua asked excitedly. She had always wanted to learn, and who better to teach her than Don Juan!! #mask# "Sure, why not?" Don Juan said. "But it's getting late. I could teach you tomorrow if you'd like. How about we take a walk along the beach and then get something to eat?" "Good idea. I liked talking to you today, it was nice getting to know you better." Lua said. "I also enjoyed talking to you my dear," said Don Juan.So they took a walk along the beach and enjoyed the marvelous sunset, ;D then picked up their things and went to find something to eat.

Day 2Lua and Don Juan woke up the next day and ate breakfast. After they ate, they got ready to go to the pool near the condo so Don Juan #mask# could teach her how to swim. As Lua got ready, she felt very nervous. She had a major fear of drowning and it was almost impossible for her to get over the fear. When she finished getting ready, she grabbed her beach bag and followed Don Juan out the door."Are you alright, Miss Lua? You look worried about something," Don Juan said looking at her."I'm fine, just a little nervous that's all," Lua said."A little nervous?" Don Juan said smiling."OK, I'm very nervous," Lua said laughing."I'm terrified of drowning." "Ahh, I see. You don't have to worry my dear, I won't let you drown," he said, giving her a reassuring look."Thanks," said Lua blushing. They got to the pool and as Lua was putting her beach bag on a chair, Don Juan took off his shirt. All Lua could do was stare at the handsome Johnny. He had the perfect tan and amazing muscles. Lua caught herself staring and looked away and cleared her throat. Fortunately, Don Juan didn't notice. "Let's get started then," said Don Juan getting into the pool.Lua got into the pool and stood in front of Don Juan. He explained to her what to do and then showed her how. Then it was her turn. She felt butterflies in her stomach and started to shake a little."There's nothing to be afraid of. I won't let you drown, I promise," said Don Juan trying to comfort her.Lua looked into his deep, brown eyes; they were gentle and patient and it made her feel more relaxed. She took a deep breath and did what he told her to do. She started to sink a little and felt Don Juan pull her up again. She drank a little water and coughed."Are you alright?" asked Don Juan."Ya, I'm OK. Umm, thanks for catching me," said Lua.Don Juan winked and told her to try again. After drinking a bit more water, she started to get the hang of it. Don Juan taught her some more and she practiced. By the end of the afternoon, Lua had learned how to swim! (Well the basics anyway)"Look! I can swim!! ;D Don Juan, thank you so much!" Lua said happily giving Don Juan a massive hug. #hug# "You're very welcome," Don Juan said laughing."You're doing very well, good job." "I don't know about you, but I'm starving!" said Lua. "Let's get something to eat and get in some dry clothes, I look like a giant prune!" So they grabbed their stuff and headed back to the condo.

Day 4
DeeDee groans and tries to sit up. "Where am I?" She appears to be in some sort of bed. It creaks as she moves around. A pair of hands rest on her shoulders and push her back. "Lie down darling. You banged your head when you fell,". Wade sits down in a chair beside her and smiles weakly.
"Are you ok?" DeeDee rests her head on a soft pillow and looks at the teenage drape sitting beside her.
"I'm fine darling, i fell on you.. sorry,".
DeeDee laughs. "It's alright. It's my stupid fault.... i shouldn't have got on that motorcycle, i'm a clumsy oaf!" She looks around the room with great interest. "Where am I anyway?"
"You're in Pepper's bedroom,". Wade gets up and shows her twin beds in the corner. 2 small children are staring curiously at DeeDee sucking lollypops. DeeDee grins and waves at them. They wave back shyly. "Does Pepper mind me sleeping in her bed?" DeeDee whispers suddenly aware of her surroundings. She sits up again and Wade forces her back down/
"Nahhh Pep ain't that mean,". Wade makes his way to the door. "D'you want a drink. Milk, juice, water... beer,". He adds winking. "Juice will be good thanks,". DeeDee closes her eyes.. she suddenly feels very tired....
