Holiday sun

Chapter 1- Connor is a lucky one

Everyone is doing a holiday story, so I had to join in. Here is my story which uses a mix of sun, falling over and epic fails! Just to say this chapter is to start it off and later on it will fall back into how I normally write- with a few mishaps along the way- nothing is plain sailing!

Connor ran into the ARC grinning. Abby just stared up at him like he was an utter lunatic (which he was sometimes). Abby tilted her head then it clicked... "What have you broken now?" Abby asked. "And why are you smiling so much?" Abby frowned at him. Why wasn't he answering? Abby really hoped that he hadn't broken the microwave (again). If he had he was paying for a new one. Not doing his puppy dog eyes and making her give in on him and pay for it.

It wasn't her fault last time, or the time before for that matter. If he tried to microwave a sock- it's his fault! No wonder when the sock caught alight that the microwave wouldn't work. But he still got his way out of it; Abby definitely wasn't letting him this time.

"Oooh!" Connor squealed. He jumped into the air once then ran over to hug Abby. Then he began to spin Abby around until finally she had to push him away to break free of his rather tight grasp.

"What. Are. You. On. About?" Abby cried. She stared at the rather hyperactive form of Connor which currently couldn't sit still for more than a few seconds, let alone stand still.

"I may have won a trip for me plus six people!" Connor laughed.

Abby just stared at him like he was insane, "H...how?" Abby asked. Connor was not the lucky one normally, she was luckier than him! Abby really hoped it wasn't compensation -if they realised that he was just a very clumsy man then they might realise and un-compensate him...

"Well... you had to answer questions on this radio show," Connor began and looked over at Abby who just nodded and he started to talk again. "For each question you got a prize for answering correctly. So the first was a microwave, then a spa day for two, then a day trip to Alton towers for 4, then there was a meal in this posh restaurant thingy, then £300, £600, £700, £1,000, next we have a trip to Comic Con and then finally... I won... a trip to HAWAII!" Connor cried jumping in the air.

Abby stared at him slightly confused. "What kind of questions were they? And how did you win?" Abby cried running over to him and putting her arms around his neck. She was still slightly confused as to how exactly he had managed to win.

Connor had a huge grin now spread all over his face as he looked at her. "Everyone got to 6 but I got to 10! I beat them all!" Connor cried hugging Abby even tighter.

"How?" she asked him.

Connor looked over at the others in the room who were staring at him like he was insane. "I read too much and this job!" Connor whispered into her ear and giggled, he let her go and began to run around the ARC.

Lester emerged from his office and looked at them. "What are you doing?" he asked frowning at the giggling figure of Abby and the now hopping around Connor. Who had just fallen over and bashed his shin in the process. "Can you tell me, what is going on?" Lester demanded.

"We're all going to Hawaii!" Connor cried as loud as he possibly could. Lester just raised an eyebrow and stared at Connor.

"Finally, some peace around here. You'll have to tell everyone so they can get organised. Tell Jess to get them to the hub," Lester muttered and began to walk casually back to his office.

"Lester!" Connor cried and ran after his boss to catch up.

"What?" Lester demanded. He span around to face the annoying little Connor standing directly behind him tapping him repeatedly on the shoulder- what a bad move. He stared at the still ever-so over-excited form of Connor Temple.

Connor just grinned up at Lester like he hadn't just invaded his personal space; and Connor just giggled! "You're coming too!" Connor cried and stared at Lester expectantly.

Lester stared him in the eyes and ever so slowly shook his head. "No; I'm not, I'm having a peaceful time here- alone," Lester muttered and turned his back on Connor and headed back to his office.

Connor just ran to catch up ignoring the irritated tone creeping into Lester's voice and his strained expressions. "What if we don't bug you? What if I get you a separate larger suite all expenses paid?" Connor relayed to Lester.

"Still no"

"I'll call your wife. Plus I will tell Jess if you refuse and she will find a way to irritate you for at least a month," Connor explained briefly. Lester just stared at Connor- the cheek of it! His silent anger radiated through him. Then Lester suddenly calmed down completely... he'd thought actually it may not be that bad. He'd refuse to do certain things with them, but he'd knew he wouldn't go swimming in the sea unless actually dragged into the water. "We're meeting in the hub in a few minutes Lester," Connor commented and ran over to where Jess sat the ADD machine. She was staring at him- utterly confused.

It was only a few minutes later until everyone was standing around the hub.

Then finally someone broke the rather awquard silence. "Why have we all been called here Connor?" Emily asked staring over at Connor who was grinning like a maniac. Then Abby once more began to laugh to herself.

Connor looked up and began to address everyone in a rather flat and emotionless tone. "Next week on Thursday for two whole weeks, all of you are invited to..." Connor never managed to finish.

As Abby decided suddenly that he was taking far too long. "We're going to Hawaii!" Abby shrieked. Jess nearly fell off her chair at the sound of Abby right in her ear. Abby was standing right beside her at that point, so Jess was slightly deafened... Emily just stared at Matt like she thought everyone was totally insane. Becker slowly began to edge away backwards and managed to walk into Lester.

"If I am going, so are you Becker," Lester whispered to Becker wearily. Then Lester turned to address the whole group, "How are we getting there?" he asked.

"Oh, it's a first class flight, Lester," Connor answered quickly.

"No Connor, we're taking the private jet," Lester muttered and abruptly walked off.

As soon as Lester was out of hearing distance Matt looked over at Connor and asked him, "Is Lester really coming?" He looked rather surprised that they'd see him out of work, and maybe even a suit. And they might see him, dare he say it (or even think it) - relaxing.

Jess poked her head into the conversation and began to grin, "He got us a private jet!" she squealed. Suddenly Emily, Abby, Jess and Connor were in hysterics. They were all going on holiday together! No dinosaurs, no anomalies, and definitely nothing to do with work! It was going to be bliss...

How do you like that chapter? Yes, it isn't too long, but I had to write it up as fast as I could to get my idea out there. If I continue to upload this... there will be twists, broken air-con, shopping and a rather drunk Connor!
