Sitting there with the straw hat over his eyes. He snoozed while waiting for the fish to bite. And it didn't take long either. The rod started to move back and forth pulling Erics leg almost half way off the rock. He quickly woke up from his slumber and pulled the rod up to his chest, forcing his body to lay back on the rock. And quickly pulling the fish out of the water. There laid a bright blue fish, a kind of fish Eric had not seen before. He quickly picked it up and ran back to the camp site.
"Here," He said. gentely placing the fish in Daleys arms.
"Wow..This is the biggest fish any of us have ever caught!" She said surprised. Eric felt proud inside. He never knew he had the nack for fishing untell now.
"It's um...It's great." She said smiling up at him, Eric couldn't help but smile back.
"Well, im gonna lay this out and get it ready for dinner. thanks again Eric." She said walking off.
Thanks Eric...Thankyou Eric...Hey Eric! Nice job!...Eric you rock!...I could get used to that.
He walked into his tent and decided to relax some more.
Shelter
Jackson stood in front of it with Lex aside him.
"Doesn't it look like its mossing something..?" Jackson asked.
"Like what?"
"I
dunno...Something," He said. He walked around it getting a good
view. Then, he quickly snapped his fingers.
"I got it." He said.
"What are you gonna do?" Lex yelled finding himself far away from him.
"Just wait I'll be back!" He yelled running into the bushes. Lex stood there. He thought he could add something as well.
Jackson ran back to the shelter. Finding only the shelter...
"Lex..?" He thought to himself. Where'd he go?
"Wow!" Melissa said in amazment.
"Yup...And guess who caught it?" Daley asked grinning.
"Umm...erm...dmm...hmm." She thought for a moment. Eric walked out of the tent.
"Eric did!" Daley snapped.
"Eric?" Melissa asked.
"Huh..?" He asked nearly half asleep, rubbing his eyes, he found Melissa standing right in front of him.
"Oh..Hi Melissa." He said yawning.
"You caught that fish?" She asked, "It's as big as Nathans head!"
"Hey...!" Nathan yelled from aside Daley. "I'm here to!"
"Sorry Nathan.." She said giggling. Taylor walked up the hill as dirty as ever.
"What happened to you?" Daley asked standing up.
"Well...I-I was gonna
go for a nice walk along the beach. a-a-and I tripped and fell in
some dirt on my way there. And my bracelet fell in the dirt, so I was
looking around for it...and well.."
Daley let a laugh slip
her lips.
"Well im glad you think it's funny!" She yelled walking inside the tent.
"Wipe your feet!" Daley yelled running inside the tent.
"Oh um, Melissa could you.."
"Sure I'll do it." She said turning the pan with the fish on it. Daley quickly ran inside to tend to Taylor.
Melissa kept flipping the pan.
"There sure is alot to eat here.." She said smiling.
Eric sat down next to her. "Yup...I think I like fishing." He said smiling.
"Why?"
"Cause...It's
easy." He said.
"Really?"
"Yeah...Incase
I catch anything I get a wake-up call." He said. Melissa swung
her head back getting some hair out of her eyes.
"You know..your doing a good thing." She stated, Eric sighed.
"Yeah yeah.." He said. Melissa rapped one arm around his neck and hugged him closely. Eric (More awkward then ever) sat there silently waiting for it to be over. Melissa finally let go and continued cooking the fish.
...Melissa's always been there for me I guess...even in school when I would make fun of her...It's like she never has an anger button. But that's what's so cool about her. That's what so unique. If it wasn't for her..I-I wouldn't be here right now...Woah...I never really thought about it much.
Eric turned away from Melissa.
She's so nice..And..maybe...Possibly..she means alot-
"AAAARRRGGGHHH!!" Daley growled. Melissa and Eric immediantly stood up still.
"Daley are you
alright?" Melissa asked shaking. "Is there another lizard
in there?"
"No!" Daley yelled. Walking out of the
tent, showing her bright orange shirt that had mud and dirt stains on
it. Melissa gasped.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Taylor happened.." She moaned. And walked back into the tent. Eric couldn't help but laugh. Melissa let out a few giggles.
"Poor Dale.."
Eric
nodded.
"Um, Daley the fish is ready!" Melissa shouted.
"FISH!?" Taylor yelled. "EWWW!"
Melissa rolled her eyes and grabbed the knife. ready for cutting.
