Chapter three: Not so famous any more...

MORNING: Month 5: Day 16. (Four days after The Jonas Brothers crashed)

Joe-with a healed leg-ran around the beach chasing Eric and Nathan, "EAT MY DUST!!!" He shouted.

Emily and Taylor watched Joe run back and forth, "Truly amazing..." Emily muttered.

Nick decided to join the game that Joe seemed to be playing, Joe slowed down. "Hey, Eric. Nathan, let's get Nick!" He shouted.

Eric smiled, "3 against 1, I like it!"

Joe stared at Nick, and then: "CHARGE!!!" Joe shouted.

Kevin walked up to Taylor and Emily who were washing clothes, "Hey," He said, "Can you wash my shirt please?" He took off his shirt and threw it in the pile.

Taylor tried to look away from Kevin, "Uh...s-s-s-s-sure..."

Kevin pulled out one of his shirts from one of the few suit cases that were not destroyed from the explosion.

Emily slapped Taylor's shoulder, "Stop drooling!"

Taylor sat up straight and rang a shirt around her wrists, "I'm sorry, but I just can't help it..."

Emily continued to do the laundry, a huge shadow gleamed over her.

Emily looked up, "Hey!" She said. The shadow had belonged to Nick, the shadow disapeared as he sat down next to her.

"Need help?" Nick asked. Emily blushed and twisted a T-shirt. "Uh...no...but thank you any way."

Nick smiled and looked down, "Okay, so...what grade are you in?" He asked.

Emily giggled, dispite that that was an odd question to ask. She answered it anyway, "Ninth,"

"Me too! What are you interested in doing?"

"Uh...song writing, story writing, acting and guitar playing..." Emily said.

Nick stared at her, man her eyes are beautiful... "Uh...hello?" Emily muttered.

Nick shook his head, "No, that's awesome! Totally, awesome."

Eric stared at the two laughing and smiling at each other, "He's totally flirting with her," He said.

Nathan looked at him, "Dude, let it go. Take a look at the people around you, three 16 year old girls. 3 sixteen year old guys, one 10 year old and one 15 year old. It was out numbered for Emily. Ever since the Jonas Brother's crashed, Emily seemed happier."

"Well, duh she's happier. Every girl perfures them to be...sexy!"

"It's not just that, Emily was upset, she told me. She said that it was unfair that it was even couples for the older kids and she didn't have a guy-friend that she could hang out with like we have girl-friends that we can hang with."

Eric stared at him, "Hey, don't mess with me man!"

"What I'm trying to say is...leave her alone Eric. She's happy, Nick is happy, you should be happy that she's happy."

"Man, whatever. I don't need to be lectured 'cause I'm trying to protect her!" Eric shouted.

"From what, actually being happy for the first time?"

"From...from..." Eric pulled Nathan closer, "From doing it...you know...doing it..."

"Ew! Dude, too personal!"

"Well you asked dude, I gotta go. Keep an eye on Emily for me will ya?"

"Dude!! You can't chain her down forever! I can be a better big brother than you can!! Well up yours too!"

Nathan sighed and sat down at the fire pit, he thought that Nick was perfect for Emily. That they were a perfect couple and that Eric was being a protective know-it-all.

Joe in between Emily and Nick, "Wazzup my fellow island-mates? What's happenen?"

"I'm doing laundry," Emily said.

Nick looked down, "I was...um...talking."

"Right, talking! Awesome! I'm hungry, where's all the food?"

"We need to get more..." Said Nathan, Joe smiled. "Sweet, when do we go out on our mission?"

Daley looked at Joe and then looked at Kevin, "Is he always this hyped?"

Kevin laughed, "That's him being mellow!"

Joe looked at Emily and then looked at Nick, "Hey! You two just look so cute together...dang, I wish I had a camera to snap a picture of you guys!"

SHUT UP!!!! Joe your embarrassing me in front of Emily, crap! Nick shouted to himself.

Joe was being quite rude and seemed to not have been aware that he was being rude.

"Um...Joe," Kevin muttered, "Can I talk to you for a sec? Thanks..."

Joe walked up to him, "What's the matter man?"

"Your embarrassing Nick and Emily, what are you doing?"

Joe looked down, "Oh man...did I really embarrass them?"

"YES!" Kevin shouted.

"Dude I'm sorry...I'll not talk okay?"

(There's something going on in between Nick and Emily, and Eric doesn't aprove. Nathan is fed up with Eric, for many reasons. How will this all turn out?)
