"Wow, I can't believe that we graduated college, right Jonas?" Connor said as if he just ran a marathon. They were both exhausted having just finished their final exams before graduation.

"Yeah, I can't believe that you surived with such a small head... Trust me, I would know!" said Jonas in his usual joking way. Jonas had a weird sense of humor. He was the funniest guy Connor had ever met. Jonas had a unique way of saying jokes that made Connor laugh hysterically except when they were about him.

"Yeah ok, but you might want to rethink that last insult because I am holding two tickets in my hand to J & C Island. Do you remember that place?" Connor said smoothly as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Oh yeah, when we were little we always talked about going to that place in Hawaii called Ka'ula." Jonas had a look on his face wondering if Connor was serious or just making this up.

"Let's get another Starbucks coffee first, right?" Connor said.

"I don't know how you could even think about coffee after what you just shared." replied Jonas in astonishment.

"Well, I'm going to need it to stay up all night and get ready. Our flight leaves at 6:00 A.M. tomorrow." Connor spoke as if it wasn't big news.

"6:00, like 6:00 in the morning?" Jonas stopped dead in his tracks.

"Yeah, you in or what? Connor sounded annoyed.

"You know it!" Jonas reached up slapping Connor for a high-five.

"Wow... Hawaii is so amazing! I still can't believe that we are here."
