what should I do?

Ever heard of this thing ... Honda Civic User Manual... came in the glovebox of your car? It has the proper storage procedures in there. Where better to learn it from than from Honda's own... If you don't have it then SW20 MR2 has the proper procedures on his site.

2 weeks? you've got nothing too worry about.. i stored my car over the winter.. all i did was fill it to the top with premium gas, change the oil.. and you may want to remove the battery. Done.. My car sat for months, so i had to start it every now adn then, and roll it back a few inches so i didnt get flat spots in my tires (which i did!) .. you're only gone for 2 weeks.. just park it and fly.. you've got nothing to worry about.
