What Happens in Vegas...

oh oh the good bits coming up
MICHAEL half naked
i feel real bad for syd
michaels freidns arfe a really bad word im not allowed to say (lol) i dont know how she puts up with them
 
Why are they being so harsh on Sydney? I clearly don't see anything wrong with her at all :thinking:

I hope that Michael doesn't do anything stupid... although... considering that there will be a bet, it can't be good :angry:
 
hey!~!
great update!~!
“Dude there is no way I’m sharing a bed with Michael – that’s sick!” Andrew proclaimed. Everyone immediately groaned.
sorry just had to do that :P
“Well he doesn’t smell that bad,” Sydney chimed in, finding a rare moment to make the group laugh instead of turning on her viciously. Luckily it worked, and they all laughed, except Michael, who gave her a rather unamused look.
nice save syd!~! :P
“It’s not just that – I can’t share a bed with a guy; that’s disgusting. Jas and I will share a bed,” Andrew said, locking an arm around the dark haired girl’s neck.

“No we won’t!” Jas insisted, pushing Andrews arm away from her.

“Yeah it’ll work out fine – Steve and Tammy, you and I, Sydney and Michael, and then we’ll have a bed leftover for our suitcases and other stuff,” Andrew rationalized.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Michael jumped in, looking rather concerned. “Sydney and I!?”
yer sydney and you wats wrong with that?
“Oh you guys we can’t do that to Sydney,” Jas said in a sweet voice. “I mean, you know her, she’s probably never even touched a guy before. If we make her share a bed with Mikey here poor Sandra Dee’s head might just explode.” Jas giggled rather wickedly while everyone else laughed as well and gave Sydney a patronizing look.
oh c'mon guys grow up!
and leave syd alone!
it's bad enough that you taped condoms on her locker!
oh just a heads up dont get syd mad unless you wish to wake up in a hospital!
With a determined expression and a slight growl under her breath, Sydney picked up her bag from the floor and stated, “We’re taking the bed closer to the bathroom,” before stomping into the adjoining room.

Just as she set her luggage up onto the bed and began to unzip it, Michael walked into the room looking very cautious. “Um, Syd, you know we don’t have to share a bed if you don’t want to? I mean, I’m sure I could talk to the guys and we could make arrangements otherwise…”

“Michael it’s fine, really. Unless you don’t want to share a bed with me?” she asked, her tone very dangerous. After her time of the plane plus the teasing on the way to the hotel from the airport she was really on edge.
UH...OH you better stop now if i was you!
“Okay fine!” Tammy shouted, taking control of the situation. “We’re not having a luggage bed. Steve and I will sleep in here; Sydney and Michael in there, and then you two can pick which of you stays where that way Andrew can have his own bed,” she said in an obviously patronizing tone, looking between Andrew and Jas.

“I call in there!” Jas exclaimed, pointing to the room in which Sydney was changing. She slung her bag over her shoulder and was just about to walk through the adjoining door when Michael practically threw himself in front of her.

“No you can’t! I mean, Sydney’s changing right now…give her a minute,” he added more casually.
no Vaughn you mean you CANT sleep in there!
“Sweet I get to see her chastity belt up close and in person!” Jas laughed, trying to push her way through the door once more.

“Guys c’mon and give Sydney a break, okay? This is her vacation too and its not fair if you ruin it for her,” Michael told them.

“Jeez we’re just having fun!”
no your not you were picking on martial arts master who can tottally snap you in two!
As everyone began packing their luggage, Michael did the same, carrying his in the other room and sitting it on the bed next to Sydney’s. As he was going through it and setting out toiletry supplies to carry into the bathroom, Sydney emerged in a red bikini top and cutoff jean shorts, under which there presumably was a red bikini bottom to match the top. Upon seeing her, Michael promptly dropped everything in his hands back into his bag. Of course it was not the first time he had seen her in a bikini, but there was something about seeing such a vast amount of flesh on any attractive woman that made him all thumbs.
sounds like someones got a majour crush!
“So-so you’re going to the pool then now like now?” he stammered, inwardly kicking himself for sounding like a fool.

“Um…yeah,” she said, giving him a peculiar look as she pulled out a novel from the side pocket of her luggage.

“Well I’ll come with you if-if you want,” he smiled softly at her.

“Don’t you want to go and start drinking and gambling with everyone else?” she raised a curious eyebrow at him.

He shook his head. “I can gamble anytime; it’s only sunny during the day.”

“Alright, whatever,” she shrugged slightly. Then she turned her attention back to her bag as she looked for a very important item. Sadly, it was not there; she had forgotten it in her haste earlier that morning. “felgercarb I forgot sunscreen…”

“I think I have some or you could borrow some from Jas….or I’m sure you can buy it at the hotel gift shop,” he added quickly at the less than amused look on her face. “Just gimmie five minutes and we’ll go.”

“Okay,” she agreed. Then, she sat down on the bed and opened her book with a sigh to read a bit more while she waited.
yer now syd gets to check Vaughn out! :P
PHE ONIX
 
Chapter 4
After listing to the party hardy foursome complain that Michael was not going to be accompanying them when they dove head first into the bar at one pm that afternoon, Michael and Sydney made their way down to the pool area. The sun so high in the sky combined with the fact that they were in the desert made it sizzling out on the pool deck, which was surprisingly empty. Sydney and Michael chose neighboring lounge chairs and began laying out the towels they brought from their hotel room out onto them.

“It sure is nice out here,” Michael smiled at he sat down on the towel-covered chair. Then, he pulled out the small bottle of sunscreen he found in his toiletry case (most likely packed by his mother since he had no recollection of doing so) and began applying some to his nose.

“Can I have that when you’re done?” Sydney asked, sitting down on her own chair.

“Sure. I’ll even do your back if you want,” Michael smiled at her.

“O-oh o-okay,” she stammered slightly. Michael rubbing creamy suntan lotion all over her back and shoulders – yeah, that was going to help her situation. Though she never admitted it to anyone and rarely admitted it to herself, Sydney had always had a crush on Michael. Well not always but ever since their beach trip six years earlier and she was able to catch a glimpse of his body, perfectly toned and tanned from all the time he spent working out during baseball practice. She was far from the first girl in her class to have a crush on Michael Vaughn. In fact, she was fairly sure that every girl had a crush on him at some point, so it was just one of those things, or so she told herself. Nothing would ever come of her crush, though, this she knew. They were too close as friends for anything like that to happen. Besides, why would the most popular guy in school choose one of the nerds over the more beautiful cheerleaders? Oh, that’s right, he wouldn’t.

“Alrighty then,” Michael said. He squeezed a dollop of the white lotion onto his finger tips and began rubbing it across Sydney’s back, starting at her shoulders and working his way down to the strap on her bikini, making sure not to miss an inch. Sadly, the last time he had done that to a girl, he had missed a rather oddly shaped patch on her back, which caused this girl to get a burn in that same odd shape. Not surprisingly, she was not very happy with him and he was not anxious to repeat such a mistake.

While Michael was applying Sydney’s suntan lotion, a guy and girl just slightly older than them walked by them. As they passed they heard the girl say in a most annoyed and disgusted tone, “God Brian, how come you never put suntan lotion on my back?! You’re such a crappy boyfriend!” Once they were a few feet away, Michael could hear the guy, Brian, attempting to apologize and couldn’t help but laugh under his breath.

Sydney, too, heard this exchange between the strangers, but she only found it mildly amusing. For the most part she was focusing on the fact that the strange girl obviously believed she and Michael to be a couple. This horrified her slightly though she did not know why. After all she and Michael were just two friends. The fact that he was putting suntan lotion on her back meant nothing. After all, if she had a female friend who asked for assistance with such a task, she would not have hesitated to help. It was the same situation; no different. At least, that’s what she tried to tell herself.

“There all done,” Michael said once he was finished. Then he handed over the tube of suntan lotion so Sydney could put it on her face and wherever else she wished it to be.

“Thanks,” she said softly. After she had applied suntan lotion everywhere she felt was necessary, she settled back against her lounge chair and picked up her book once more. Michael, too, settled back with his hands behind his head, attempting to rest so that the jet lag did not affect him too much later that evening.


Just fifteen minutes after she picked up her book, from the corner of her eye she saw two girls no older than herself approaching Michael in all his glistening chiseled-body beauty. Fighting the urge to throw up, Sydney concentrated even deeper on her book as the two girls struck up conversation with Michael, obviously wanted to be invited to hang out with him, perhaps even more than that. Instead of falling subject to their coy smiles and bikini-clad bodies, Michael simply chatted politely before hinting as subtly as possible that he was not interested.

“Well you accomplished that fairly well considering you left your stick back in Virginia,” Sydney commented softly once the girls were gone.

“Huh?! What stick?!” Michael asked with utter confusion.

“You know, the stick you use to beat off all the women throwing themselves at you,” Sydney explained further.

“Oh,” he said shortly. He was also rolling his eyes but that was impossible to tell due to his sunglasses. “I’ll have you know that I own no such stick and women are certainly now throwing themselves at me.

“Mmhm,” Sydney sighed in a disbelieving tone.

Wanting to change the subject desperately, Michael asked, “So Syd, when do you start your new job again? The Monday after we get back?”

“No, the next Monday,” she told him. She had been one of the lucky ones to graduate college with a job already available and waiting for her. Actually, she had accepted the position back in the middle of April, which made studying for finals even more difficult. The job with a pharmaceutical company was located relatively close to her parent’s home, which meant she did not need to immediately move out on her own. Of course, she planned on doing so well before the end of summer, but at least the pressure was off for the time being.

“Ah yeah…it must be nice having employment,” he sighed.

“You’re going to get some, Michael. I’m sure once you start going on interviews you’ll get snatched up right away.”

“I hope so,” he sighed. Though he went on a few interviews, Michael had yet to land a position. This was partly because of his lack of pursuance on the issue since he was still unsure if he wanted to stay close to home to find a job or go further away. His mother’s cancer was in remission, so he did not need to stick close to home for that reason, but he was unsure he wanted to leave behind everyone else, including Sydney.

“C’mon let’s get in the water and cool off; it’s freakin’ hot out here,” Michael encouraged.

“Alright,” Sydney agreed. She was at a very good part of the novel she was reading, but in a more pressing matter Michael had a very valid point; it was boiling. She stood and shimmied out of her shorts before walking over and dipping a toe into the pool water. “Its freezi-AHH!” she screamed. Before she could even finish the word, Michael barreled into her and tackled her down into the water, where they both landed with a violent splash.

“Oh my god I’m going to KILL you!” Sydney screamed when she finally surfaced after having a very rude introduction to the water.

“But you’re cooler now aren’t you?” he asked with a cheeky grin.

“I’m freezing,” she informed him. Then she waded her way over to the pool edge, climbed out and returned to her lounge chair to plot her revenge.

ok onto reviewing:

“O-oh o-okay,” she stammered slightly. Michael rubbing creamy suntan lotion all over her back and shoulders – yeah, that was going to help her situation. Though she never admitted it to anyone and rarely admitted it to herself, Sydney had always had a crush on Michael. Well not always but ever since their beach trip six years earlier and she was able to catch a glimpse of his body, perfectly toned and tanned from all the time he spent working out during baseball practice.

Oh, that’s right, he wouldn’t.
yes he would a sertin girl called Sydney Bristow! :P

While Michael was applying Sydney’s suntan lotion, a guy and girl just slightly older than them walked by them. As they passed they heard the girl say in a most annoyed and disgusted tone, “God Brian, how come you never put suntan lotion on my back?! You’re such a crappy boyfriend!” Once they were a few feet away, Michael could hear the guy, Brian, attempting to apologize and couldn’t help but laugh under his breath.
i kno they are such a cute couple when they're not together romanticly are'nt they?

“Well you accomplished that fairly well considering you left your stick back in Virginia,” Sydney commented softly once the girls were gone.

“Huh?! What stick?!” Michael asked with utter confusion.

“You know, the stick you use to beat off all the women throwing themselves at you,” Sydney explained further.
jannet did u have a dirty mind when you wrote this or is it me?...?

“C’mon let’s get in the water and cool off; it’s freakin’ hot out here,” Michael encouraged.

“Alright,” Sydney agreed. She was at a very good part of the novel she was reading, but in a more pressing matter Michael had a very valid point; it was boiling.

no your not your going to love like allways!

“But you’re cooler now aren’t you?” he asked with a cheeky grin.

“I’m freezing,” she informed him. Then she waded her way over to the pool edge, climbed out and returned to her lounge chair to plot her revenge.
i kno wat ur revenge could be:
a surprise kiss!
oh wait the ugly 4-some couple will see and most likely tease michael about geek jerms
but he shouldnt let them destroy his love for sydney!
oh i kno another form of revenge that would be by dacking him infront of everyone!
 
hey guys... you know whats a crappy bday present? going to work <_<

Chapter 5
After a few minutes of potting, Sydney found the perfect revenge for Michael throwing her into the cold pool water. She ordered a soda from the outside bar, took an ice cube out of it and dropped it down the back of his swimming trunks when he was least suspecting it. This caused a very interest reaction during which he danced around the pool deck frantically, nearly knocking five people over in the process as Sydney laughed so hard she could barely breathe. Needless to say, Michael was not very happy with her after this.

Three hours after arriving at the pool, Michael and Sydney left so they could shower and change before dinner. Not surprisingly, their room was empty when they returned. Sydney did not even want to guess where they went, though she had a pretty good idea already.

After showering and changing, Sydney and Michael headed back downstairs to attempt to find the rest of their crew so they could eat dinner together. Of course in an expansive casino with dozens of people this was easier said than done, but after a few minutes of searching they managed to find Steve and Tammy playing slot machines. Steve was able to direct them towards Jas, who was playing craps, but as for Andrew…well, he had gone off with a woman he met at the bar and they were not exactly sure where he went to. Deciding Andrew could find his own meal (and probably already did), the group of five went to eat without them.


“While you two freaks were at the pool we managed to win ourselves a cool fifty bucks,” Steve said proudly as he glanced over the top of his menu.

“Oh yeah, how much money did you have to put in before you won that?” Michael laughed. Steve said nothing and looked back down towards his lap while everyone laughed.

“You’re gonna come to the casino with us after we eat, right?” Jas asked Michael and Sydney.

“Yeah I’m there. What do you say, Syd?”

“Oh I don’t know,” she said in a hesitant voice. “I mean… I’ll try one of those slot machine things, but I don’t think I’m gonna stay.”

“Why?” Jas laughed. “Does being a virgin affect your ability to gamble?” Michael shot her a silencing glare which she ignored easily.

“No I just… I didn’t bring that much cash with me,” she mumbled a lie hoping it would get Jas and everyone else to leave her alone.

“What? Why the hell not? Didn’t Michael say you’ve already got a job? You can afford to gamble a little bit!” Steve laughed. Sydney continued to stare at her menu, not wanting to explain that she did not want to part with all her hard-earned savings; she thought it was pointless. Luckily she didn’t have to because a moment later the waiter arrived to take their orders.

Along with their chosen meals, the two men ordered beers and the two women ordered mixed drinks; Sydney ordered a coke. Once again, this caused her to be the subject of heavy mockery. “A Coke?! A Coke?!” Jas exclaimed. “You’re not even going to have one drink?! God, Sydney, you’re even more of a prude than I thought.”

“Hey she doesn’t have to drink if she doesn’t want to,” Michael defended her quickly. Then he added under his breath, “Lord knows you’ll drink enough for the both of you and then some.”

For Sydney, the rest of dinner did not go much better than the beginning of dinner. She was forced to sit through more teasing and mocking mostly coming from Jas, though the others put in their fair share as well. Michael tried to deflect their comments as much as he could, but it wasn’t always enough and soon Sydney was feeling so sick to her stomach she could hardly eat.

At the first possible moment, she escaped the table and wandered out into the casino. She was just about to make her way over to the slot machines so she could gamble a bit to say she had done it and then go back to her room and finish the book she was reading when she heard someone call out her name. Turning around, she saw it was Michael jogging towards her.

“Syd I am so sorry,” he apologized immediately. “Jas is being such a jerk and I’m really sorry she’s ruining this trip for you.”

“It’s okay,” Sydney said even though it really wasn’t. “I’m used to it; its fine.”

“No it’s really not,” he sighed. “How about you and I do something tomorrow without those idiots in there? Just you and me and we don’t have to see or talk to them all day.”

“Oh Michael, you don’t have to-”

“But I want to. Please? C’mon it’ll be fun. This afternoon was fun right?” he asked with a grin.

“Yeah especially the part where I put that ice cube down your pants,” she snickered. He gave her an unappreciative glare.

“I’m serious. Please?”

Sydney sighed heavily and weighed the decision before answering. On one hand, she did not want Michael to feel obligated spending time with her when he could have been hanging out with his friends. Then again, she also did not really want to spend the next five days all by herself. “Alright,” she agreed finally, “it’s a date.”

“Great,” he smiled. Then, after playfully tapping her nose, he went back into the restaurant, where Steve, Tammy, and Jas were still waiting.

Shaking her head slightly, Sydney continued on her path over to the slot machines. There, she pulled out a ten dollar bill from her wallet and inserted it into the machine. All she was going to bet was ten dollars; no more. If she lost it all, it was not that big of a deal; it was just ten dollars.

On her first turn, she lost completely and couldn’t help but laugh and wonder why people did this so frequently; losing wasn’t any fun. Despite this, she pulled the handle once more. That time, she won a quarter and felt slightly better about the game.

Half an hour later, she had doubled her money and decided it was time to quit. True, everyone around her would have thought she was insane, but she wanted to quit while she was ahead instead of losing all twenty dollars. At least, she thought as she walked away from her slot machine, Jas wasn’t around and she did not have to face ridicule on that front.

Once she pocked her twenty dollars, Sydney walked over to the elevator so she could go up to her hotel room; a long night of relaxing awaited her upstairs and she could not wait to get started on it.
 
I'm glad Michael is doing what he can to try and get them all to leave Syd alone, even if it doesn't totally work. I hope their day alone goes well.
Great update
