Just so you know… I AM currently working on the next Broken Strings chapter, but am having a hard time writing another chapter that meets the previous chapters caliber. I wrote about two hundred words, and slammed my forehead on the keyboard after not being able to write more. So… I'll try my best to have something up by the end of next week. Until now… ANOTHER ONE SHOT SORRY! Wooo! Some crack pairings, for my fellow crack lovers! Some pairings sweet, some pairings stupid. Might be short, might be long. I dunno! So to help douse my boredom and maybe help my writers block… First pairing!

Pairing: NoahxKatie

If that high-pitched, squealing, girly… Thing, didn't shut up about Justin for five minutes, within five minutes, Noah was seriously considering sliding off the bar chair and into the pool and drowning himself.

Did she ever shut up? I mean, really? How can one talk for so long, let alone about some guy who never talks. It didn't make sense.

Well, most things Noah encountered while on this stupid show didn't make sense. So, was it really that surprising?

Noah narrowed his eyes behind his novel, trying to concentrate on the sentence he was on. The sentence that he had read twenty-seven times now in the past ten minutes. But hey, who's counting?

Deciding that this was a lost cause, Noah sighed and placed his bookmark on the page he was reading, and snapped the book shut. He placed his book on the counter of the juice bar, and decided to tune in on the wonder twins conversation. Not because he wanted to; he didn't. It was the last thing he'd ever want to do on the planet!

Or so he said.

He only joined in on their idiotic ramblings because he was bored…

Though, he did admit the way her face scrunches up in disgust at the mention of last month's fashions was kinda not completely horrible…

And the way her bright pink, full, glossy lips parted slightly when she was confused; which frankly, I'm not going to lie, was quite often, was sort of not utterly repulsive.

And the way the sun reflects off the sheen of her raven black hair was so… Not hideous.

"…and I could TOTALLY see my reflection in his perfect…pearly…white teeth. Sooooo dreamy." Sadie gushed, clamping her hands together and smiling adoringly at the male model from afar. Katie sighed contently, and nodded in agreement making her pigtails flop around.

"Oh, I know Sadie! And his tan… Is just so… Yummy!" Katie chirped, fanning her face as if the hotness radiating off of Justin she was drooling about was affecting her, and she needed to cool off.

Noah rolled his eyes, and leaned against the counter with his head propped up in the palm of his hand while his elbow held it up. He lazily glanced at her, smiling sardonically. "Yes, because you obviously know what cancerous, toxic tanning oil tastes like." He droned.

Katie sent him a look, and rolled her eyes. "It's like, a figure of speak?"

Noah felt a smirk tugging on the corners of his mouth, and he obliged. "Oh, I'm sorry I'm not as fluent in valley 'speak' as I am in actual English. I guess I forgot to pack my Valley to English dictionary… My suitcase was already too full of actual literature."

Katie narrowed her eyes, and scoffed. She crossed her arms and clenched her jaw slightly. "Hey! I totally can speak proper English, right Sadie?"

"Totally!" Sadie agreed, coming to the defense of her BFFFL. Sadie slid into the cool chlorinated pristine water the resort had to offer, and swam to the edge where she proceeded to go gossip with Beth leaving the two alone.

"Really…" Noah challenged, sitting up to look the tanned girl with more interest then previously let on.

Katie closed her eyes and tilted her chin up conceitedly. "Ch'yeah huh I can!" She said, agreeing childishly.

Noah narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled at her smugly, and leaned close to her. The closest he's leaned into a girl in a long time. "Prove it."

Katie uncrossed her arms and clenched her hands into fists, and growled slightly. He was implying she was stupid, wasn't he! Ugh, how she totally hated when people did that, or looked down on her and Sadie because they weren't total Einsteinettes…

"Fine! I will, Noah! I will prove you wrong, by not being myself. I'll prove that's wrong to be different, and be happy the way you are. I'll prove that just because I love being near my BEST friend in the whole wide world and care more about having her as a friend than a stupid dumb contest, makes me a useless, brainless, sheepish, BIMBO! AND I'LL PROVE THAT I DO INDEED, HAVE MY OWN BRAIN!" Katie exclaimed, grabbing the attention of not just Noah, but most of the ex-campers.

Noah stared at her with wide eyes, and slight…respect, even. Did she really just say that to him?

Yes, yes she did.

Did it make him feel allure?

In the wise words of Lindsay; DUH.

Katie breathed heavily, and tried to catch her breath after outburst. Once her breathing was under control, she grabbed her Strawberry-Banana Bananza smoothie and took a sip of it.

Noah blinked a few times. "Uh…" He trailed off, staring at her somewhat awkwardly.

"What are you talking about, Noah? What do you plan to utter to me?" She asked, playing coy. She smirked slightly, as she took another drink of the smoothie.

Noah slowly narrowed his eyes and raised an eyebrow. Oh, so that's how she wanted to play it, huh? "I plan to 'utter' to you, that someone of your caliber can not simply outsmart ME. I have an IQ of over 188 points, and-" Noah spat.

"If you're truly that intelligent, why did you sign up for a reality show?" She cut in, sending him a look.

Noah was taken aback by that statement, but quickly regained composure before she could celebrate her fickle victory. "For obvious reasons." He retorted, crossing his arms, and leaning against the glass counter of the in-pool mini bar.

Katie raised an eyebrow and eyed him apprehensively. She too crossed her arms, then glared down at him. "Like what?" She questioned.

"To spread my knowledge with humankind and make the world a better place, by ridding it of some of it's stupidity by winning the cash and funding Laurier University."

"Oh, what cash?" Katie laughed, rolling her eyes. "You're eliminated!" She pointed out.

Noah pursed his lips, before rolling his eyes and pointing at her. "Yeah, well so are you!" He countered.

Katie smirked and leaned dangerously close to the bookworm's face. "Yeah, but you," she whispered huskily, jabbing a manicured glossy bright pink finger to his flat untoned chest, before intensifying her smirk, "got eliminated before me."

Noah was at a loss for words. Not only because Katie. KATIE. Had outsmarted him, but also because of how close to his face she was. He glanced around nervously, trying to think of a snide remark to bring him back towards being the victor of the argument, but he was having some major difficulties, only making her smug smirk grow tenfold.

"What's the matter Noah, cat got your tongue?" Katie giggled, pushing his jaw slightly to the side with her fist.

Noah shook his head wildly, either to get his chestnut brown bangs out of his eyes, or to shake the urge to press his lips against hers out of his brain. He looked into her eyes, and sighed.

Katie's face lit up and she pulled away from Noah's face and threw her hands up in victory. "HA! I TOTALLY WON!" She cheered.

She leaned close to his face again, and smiled cockily at him again. "I. Am. The. Winner. And. Just. Out. Smarted. Noah the Know it all!" She gloated, jabbing a finger to his chest arrogantly after each word.

Noah scowled, and grabbed her hand and narrowed his eyes. "Could you stop your idiotic prodding! It's very aggravating!" He shouted.

Katie's face fell, before it morphed into anger as well. She stuck out her lower lip and rolled her eyes. "Ohhhhh… Looks like someone…" Katie trailed off, before grinning and turning towards the rest of the people chilling poolside. She cupped her mouth, and smirked. "IS A SOOOORRE LOSAHHHH!" She yelled.

"I AM NOT A SORE LOSER!"

"You so totally are." She snickered, turning back to him.

Noah grit his teeth together, and growled. Katie raised an eyebrow and looked at him haughtily.

"Hey guys, do you- why are you two holding hands?" Sadie asked walking back over, pointing at the two tanned teens.

Katie and Noah's expressions blanked. They quickly snapped their gazes from the larger BFFFL down to their hands, and surely enough they were still entwined.

"GAH!" They exclaimed, each jerking their hand away from they other. Noah hastily swung his arm behind it and scratched it awkwardly, while Katie looked down at her hands, her cheeks the slightest shade of pink.

"O…k then…" Sadie said, hesitantly. She grabbed her Star Stalker magazine, and waded back over to where Beth was sitting at the edge of the pool. Sadie smiled to herself as she headed back to Beth.

Those two were so totally crushing on each other.

Especially after Sadie noticed how tenderly Noah held her hand, and how well hers fit in his.

Too bad they were totally pulling a Duncan and Courtney and not admitting it.

What a shame.

But hey, they've still got the elimination of twelve more people! Who knows what will happen? But the secret glances they stole from each other definitely confirmed that it certainly would be good.

You like? You hate? Was it good? Was it bad? I hope I did pretty well on my first Notie one shot, and kept everyone in character pretty well! I'm not so used to these characters, and hope that it wasn't completely horrible… PLEASE REVIEW!

Next chapter: DuncanxBridgette, JustinxCourtney, or TrentxLindsay? You decide! The pairing with the most reviews/requests will be written no matter HOW BAD I SCREW UP WITH IT.

PEACE OUT FOR NOW!
