Disclaimer: The first five chapters explain what I do and do not own, so there is no need to repeat myself anymore. X3
Here is the first part of the 'couples switch-off' chapters, starting with Trent and April, Geoff and Leshawna, and Harold and Bridgette. Some couples have difficulty, and some have it easy. Fine out which ones they are as you read!

Day 14: Small Talk
!!
Under normal circumstances, it would not have been a problem to prepare a daytime date with a close friend's girlfriend. This was especially true when there was no alternative choice when a sadistic, egotistical TV show host set up the date…But when it came to going out with a brunette teen girl, with dyed red bangs, who was as rebellious as the friend, this was not a specialty of Trent.
The black-haired musician did not have anything against April as a person; she was pretty, strong, independent, and friendly to those who showed the same respect. The main problem was that she acted so much like a rebel that she was almost considered to be a female counterpart of Duncan. Trent even remembered the parting words from the mohawked delinquent before the couples were separated.
"Just make sure that nothing bad happens to April while I'm gone," Duncan reminded his friend with a stern expression. "You got that, Trent?"
"You have my word, man," Trent replied with a nod.
April wrapped an arm around Trent's neck in a casual manner, a sly grin on her face. "No worries, Duncan. Trent and I will have a lot of fun."
Oh yeah, they were having a lot of fun…with April running away, broken guitar at hand, and an angry Trent following behind. The rebel girl had decided to play with the guitar earlier rock-style and accidentally smashed the musical instrument on stage without even realizing that it was his in the first place.
Regardless, April was still laughing her head off at the whole ordeal.
An hour later of chasing and retrieving the broken guitar, Trent finally managed to fix his instrument as much as possible. He was still peeved at April for breaking it, but he figured that there was plenty of time to confront her about it.
As he walked by the Bass girls' cabin, Trent stopped in his tracks and listened as he heard what sounded like singing from inside the cabin. Taking several steps closer for better hearing, he recognized the voice to be April's. This shocked Trent, but he continued to listen while stepping into the cabin unnoticed. Her voice was beautiful, but it was missing something essential…
Then it hit him. A singer needs an instrumentalist to play beside her for blended melody. With a smile, Trent began to strum on the guitar strings while keeping in tune with April's voice. April heard the musician behind her but did not stop singing, a small smile on her face.
Despite their differences, they had finally found a connection.
Meanwhile, in the mess hall, differences had not interfered with the partying pairs of Geoff and Leshawna, and Harold and Bridgette, as the couples danced, grooved, and boogied all afternoon. Geoff had pointed out to them that they were indeed supposed to stay with their assigned partners, but that did not mean that more than one couple could not spend time together. The other three liked this idea and had a blast just the same.

I'm glad you all like this idea. It's so fun to write about the different possibilities of switching around couples. We might even think about using this idea for other series. ^.^ The next chapter will focus on Owen and Lindsay, and Tyler and Izzy!
