I do not own any of the characters like Scott or Shelby etc. but I do own the trailblazers
and Jill and John. They belong to FFC.

~~~~~~ Group ~~~~~~~~

"What are you doing here?"

"Shelby, that's not a nice way to welcome someone into our group." Sophie said
frowning at Shelby.

"Ok guys this is Jill. She was a trailblazer but we did not want her and her brother in the
same group so I'm putting in here with you. Because she has been at Horizon for a while
she will not have a first week buddy, but please make her feel welcome. Ok guys lights
out in one hour." Peter said smiling in a welcoming way at Jill.

Everyone started walking away when peter said "Shelby, can I talk to you in my office?"

"Sure." Shelby mumbled.

"What's wrong, did something happen?" Scott asked with a look of concern on his face.

"I don't know what he wants. Meet me after lights out?"

"Of course. See you later." Scott said, still not sure Shelby was telling him the whole
truth.

~~~~~~~~~~ Peter's Office ~~~~~~~~~~

"Hello Shelby"

"Hi peter. What did I do this time?" Shelby asked in her old attitude.

"Well, lately you haven't said anything rude until I walked in with Jill. How do you know
her?"

"I've just seen her around." Shelby said looking to the left.

"I don't believe you, have you spoken to her before?"

Shelby didn't answer; she just looked at her shoes.

"Either you tell me how you know her or I'll put you on shuns for 2 days. Your choice."

Shelby didn't want to tell him about the fight, but the thought of not seeing Scott for two
days was even worse.

"Ok, I'll tell you." She said reluctantly

"Good" peter said with a knowing smile on his face.

"Well when you gave me kitchens I was doing them with Jill. I accidentally got her wet
and she went off on me. I tried to say I was sorry but then she called me a skank and we
started yelling at each other. Daisy had to calm me down." Shelby looked embarrassed
while she said this. Lately she wanted to impress Peter and she had just let him down.

"Well I'm disappointed in you but I can see that you are sorry so I'm not going to punish
you."

"Thank you peter, thank you so much!" Shelby said relieved she wasn't going to get in
trouble.

"But you two will have to have a buddy walk back."

Shelby didn't say anything she just groaned.

"If you two don't resolve your issues now they nay never be resolved and will only get
worse. I want you to fix them now before you have serious problems. Your hike will start
tomorrow morning right after breakfast and you should be back by six at night. Just in
time for diner. Good night Shelby."

Shelby mumbled good night and went to find Scott.

~~~~~~ Docks ~~~~~~~~~

Shelby was sitting at the end of the docks, holding her knees to her chest when Scott
came up.

"Hey beautiful"

Shelby let out a little scream

"You scared me. How long have you been there?"

"I just got here." Scott said, "What did Peter want?"

"I have to go on a buddy walk back tomorrow with Jill."

"Why? What happened?" he said starting to get concerned.

"We got in a fight today while I was on kitchens." She looked down; she didn't want to
see Scott's look o disappointment in her.

"Why didn't you tell me? What was it about?" he was confused. Why hadn't she told
him?

"It happened just before group and she called me a skank and so I yelled at her and then
she just sunk it into me. Daisy had to stop the fight. I didn't want to tell you because I
was scared."

"Why were you scared?"

~~ Shelby thought back to the MORP. ~~~

"Because…because I love you."

"You Promise you won't leave me ever again?" she said hoping he would never leave her
again.

"I promise but only under one condition… You promise to try to be nicer to everyone
else, and not get into anymore fights. If someone is messing with you, you talk to me first
and I'll deal with them."

"I promise," she said.

"Then I promise too." He looked down at her, and for the first time she didn't even want
to be mean because she knew he loved her.

~~~~~~ End of thoughts ~~~~~~~

"Why were you scared?" Scott asked for the fourth time.

"I'm scared that you're going to leave me now." She started to cry. She didn't want him
to leave.

"Shelby, I'm never going to leave you. I promised."

"And I promised too. I promised I wouldn't fight and I did so now your going to leave."

"Shelby, I'm not going to leave you. You haven't gotten in a fight or been rude to anyone
since we made that promise. I'm so proud of you. Obviously if you got in a fight with her
she deserved it. I love you and I'm not going to leave you."

"I love you Scott," she said wiping away her tears.

Scott wiped away the rest of her tears and then leaned down and kissed her.

"I love you too, Shelby." Scott said glad she felt better now, "I'm gonna miss you
tomorrow."
"I'm gonna miss you too but I have to go get some sleep if I'm going to make it through
the Forrest tomorrow." She said with a smile.

Next time:
- Buddy walk back
- Shelby tells Scott something important

Author's note: Ok, sorry it took me a long time to write but I thought no one liked my
story since I wasn't getting any reviews. Please review or give me suggestions. Bad or
good. Also, do y'all like it batter in the script format (chap 1) or the story format like this
chapter with the quotation marks? Please tell me. Oh yeah I just wanted to let you know-
Jill will not be interfering with s&s but will have an impact on Shelby, but good guess.
