Lilly couldn't believe that she stayed up the entire night. She was tried and even more aggressive than before. Even something as precious as the birds chirping made her wince.

Oliver slowly climbed out of the tent as Lilly sat there, her hands clamed to her ears.

"Are you okay now?"

"I will be when somebody shoots those damn birds."

Laughing, Oliver sat next to Lilly. "At least you're mad at the birds now."

"At this point, I'm mad at everything."

"Oh right – that time of the month."

"No Oliver! I haven't slept all night!"

"Oh right! Well, why didn't you?"

"It was a mixture of being pissed off and being confused. Oh, and I've been outside."

Oliver nodded his head."So are you still...?"

Lilly gazed out to the wilderness in front of her, pondering that question. "Yes. But I'll accept it eventually."

"Good," Oliver said wrapping his arm around Lilly, "Because I don't want my best friend hating me in our possibly last couple of weeks of our lives."

"I don't know Oliver," Lilly said, freely accepting the comfort and warmth of Oliver's embrace, "I have a good feeling we're going to be just fine."


"Amber, calm down."

"WE'RE GOING TO DIE!"

Amber continued to pace up and down and Miley beamed. "They'll find us."

"You know what it is today? Our second day here! We're not that far out. You'd think they would find us! Even Mrs Cassel is in a corner alone because she know's what's coming!"

"Yeah, I guess it's odd. But we can probably still last out a few days."

"With the load of food we have! We have nothing, Miley! NOTHING!"

"For god's sake!" Daniel finally shouted, "We'll just have to find something out here won't we?"

"But – but – but – but – but – huh?"

"Yeah. Look, there's a lake just there…there might be fish."

"But it's breakfast!"

"You have anything better to eat?"

Miley looked at the lake, disgusted. "So you want us to kill fish."

Amber shook her head. "I just remembered that I'm a vegetarian."

"No you're not Amber. You come to Ashley's house all the time. I've seen you eat meat."

"Look I'd rather have to become a vegetarian before we slaughter fish than after."

"I'm with her."

"Come on, guys."

Daniel strode over to the lake. Looking at each other, the two girls shuffled after him.


Ashley brought out the box. "Okay, I have dry weatabix or dry frosties."

"Why are they dry?"

"Because we have no milk."

Jake nodded his head. "What the hey, it's food. Dry frosties."

"I'd take the dried weatabix."

"Why?"

"Saving for a pissed off day."

"A what?"

Ashley sat down. "A pissed off day. We're all going to get pissed off over this week, some people did last night. This way at least you'll get the better cereal when you're in a mood."

Jake smiled."I'm impressed Ashley. That's practical thinking."

Ashley blushed, looking down on her feet. "Thanks." It was possibly the first compliment that she had received in a while.

Oliver leaned into Lilly. "Oh my god. It is so obvious that they should be together."

Lilly asked irritated. "Yeah, don't you just hate it when people don't see a couple that are clearly meant to be?"

"Totally."

Lilly shook her head. Getting it into Oliver's head was hopeless. What was the point in trying anymore?


"Guys! You won't get any fish until you get your asses in this water."

"But I don't have a bikini or anything!"

Daniel shook his head as the two girls hesitantly stood around the rim of the lake.

"When are you going to wear those clothes again?"

"Hopefully today."

Daniel waded over to Miley. "We can wash it."

"I just don't want to. You don't know what's in there!"

"Princess getting scared?"

"No, Princess is just grossed out. Now leave me be!"

"Okay," Daniel said. He then pretended to walk away but then pulled Miley into the water.

Miley coughed abit as she reached the surface. "You asshole! What the hell were you thinking?"

"Well since you're in the water now, help me out."

"I cannot believe you."

"I know," Daniel said wrapping his arms around Miley's waist, "I'm just too good to be true."

"Get your hands away from me or you'll be too dead to be true."

Daniel removed his hands but brushed past her as moved his hands under the water in search of fish.

"Ew," Amber screamed, "worms!"

Daniel then beamed. "That's great, we can use them for bait, pass them over!"

"What?"

Miley frowned. "Either you're giving us the worms or you're coming in the water with us."

Amber looked down at the worms moving around in the dirt below. Slowly she picked one up and threw it over to Daniel.

"Here, M'lady," Daniel said passing the worm to Miley, "you can have the first one."

"Don't I feel honoured?"

"You should."

Miley dipped her worm into the water and moved it around abit. Suddenly, the worm felt much more heavy and as Miley grabbed what was underneath, she beamed, "I got one!"

Miley then threw the fish far into the surface. Amber looked at the fish with repulsion. "I'm not picking that up!"


Jake lay down, looking up at the sky. "Do you think anyone will find us?"

"I'm sure they will."

"But who? Nobody's come to look for us."

"They don't know where we are."

"Jake do you have a satellite on your cell phone?"

"Yeah but I can only track other numbers. If that's even possible."

"So call Miley." Oliver beamed at the prospect. "Perhaps she can do the same for us and besides, I wanted to speak to her anyway."

Ashley rolled her eyes and Lilly's fists clenched slightly. Oliver really had no clue.

"Yeah but I want to talk to Miley first," Jake said immaturely.


"Still don't have any signal."

"I think we have bigger things to worry about," said Amber, pointing down at the four fish in front of her.

"Does anyone have a knife?"

"Yup. Ashley got the food and I got knives, forks, and spoons. I hate that deal now."

Amber handed the knife over to Daniel. He hovered it above the fish. Finally he slammed the knife down, eventually cutting the head and fin off.

Miley turned away, the flow of plasma and organs disturbing her.

"Okay, Miley, I'm gonna need to you to scoop out the insides."

"No way!"

"Miley, please do it for me."

"I think that's more of a reason not to."

"Look okay, if I give the job to Amber we're gonna be here all day. Do you want to eat?"

"Yeah."

"Then get scooping. Amber, start a fired then peel the skin off the fish – oh but that's after you put in water to remove the remaining blood or whatever's there."

Amber nodded slightly, deciding that she had no choice on the matter. Miley didn't look down as she stuck her hand inside the fish. Because the fish had passed away, the organs were cold but Miley could still feel it. Using her bare hands, Miley removed the guts. She could feel her stomach churning. It was as if the fish was a human, but a lot smaller.

Miley pushed the fish to one side in disgust but was distraught to find that Daniel had another fish ready for her to dismantle.

Amber threw the fish into the water. When it was there long enough, she then quickly picked it up. Then laying it down on her notebook, Amber began to remove the scales, letting out an 'ew' each time her hand left the fish. She then placed it on the pan she had gotten from her bag. She then grabbed another one that Miley had finished and began again.


Jake sighed, closing his phone. "Didn't get through."

Lilly mumbled. "Well now Oliver's going to be disappointed."

"What?"

"Nothing."

Oliver stared at Lilly for a moment before taking Jake to one side. "I have a question."

"Shoot."

"Why is Lilly acting all weird about me and Miley?"

Jake looked as if he was about to hit Oliver. "I cannot believe you still cannot see it!"

"See what?"

Jake wanted to lie. To be honest, planning with Ashley was more fun than it sounded. But the thought of letting Oliver play dumb, was unbearable.

"She likes you."

Jake then walked over to Ashley while Oliver stood there. For a moment he looked back on the past years in a new light. He then walked up to the nearest tree and banged his head against it. "I really am a donut!"


A/N: Now he knows!! Mwahahahahaha…what will happen now? For all people who were grossed out by the fish, I apologise but it was supposed to be gross…it's that all part of the experience?

As usually I urge you to review! And wow thanks for the reviews on the last chapter. It was as if as soon as I posted it, I got immediate feedback! This is brilliant!
