"You know, I guess it isn't so bad being here. At least we get to have a longer vacation." Taylor said as she and Eric lay on the beach a couple of days later.

"Whatever." Eric mumbled sleepily as he continued to nap.

"I wonder why we haven't seen any dolphins, or whales or anything." Taylor said looking out to the ocean.

Her only reply was Eric snorting loudly and then turning his back to her in his sleep.

"Hey, snort hog, wake up! You're totaly not listening to me!" Taylor said nudging his shoulder.

Eric's only mumbled incoharently, took off his hat, and started swating with it behind him.

"Eric!" Taylor said getting a little frustrated before getting up and stomping back to camp.

Back at camp, Daley walked to the fire pit with an armfull of clothes. Suddenly she saw two hands go over her eyes.

"Guess who." an obvious Nathan said behind her.

"Um, lets see. It's obviously not Taylor or Melissa, Lex is to short, Jackson's hands are bigger, is it Eric?" Daley said smiling as Nathan took his hands off her eyes.

When she turned around Nathan was staring at her in mock anger.

"I just can't believe you." Nathan said turning away shaking his head and crossing his arms. "I absolutely cannot believe you."

"How about I make it up to you?" Daley said as she walked over.

She walked up behind him and leaned over to give him a kiss, but before she knew it Nathan whipped around and pulled her into a kiss.

"I hate Eric." Taylor said stomping up and sitting down on a cooler interupting them.

"What else in new?" Nathan said quietly smiling as they broke apart.

"He's always either sleeping or pulling pranks on me. You know at first it was fun, but now it's just annoying." Taylor said crossing her arms.

"Tell me about it." Daley said quietly also smiling as she walked past to finnish the laundry.

"What's up?" Jackson asked as he walked past.

"Taylor's mad at Eric for being lazy." Nathan said before going back to picking up firewood.

"Good, then it's unanimous." Jackson said to himself as he continued to go.

"How's the party coming?" Nathan asked walking up to Melissa who was boiling some water.

"Great. Jackson's going to decorate everything and I''m going to fix the food while Daley takes Lex for a walk on the beach to distract him." Melissa said smiling. "We should be ready by tonight."

"That's awsome!" Nathan said sitting down on the log beside her. "I need to ask you something."

"What?" Melissa asked noticing his voice got lower.

Nathan looked around. "Well, me and Daley's one week aniversary is coming up in a few days, and I wanted to do give her something. Have any ideas?"

"You seem to be coming to me alot for stuff for her." Melissa said taking the pan of water off the fire.

"It just seem like I can't do enough for her." Nathan said shrugged

"I'll see what I can do." Melissa nodded smiling.
