Author's Note: thanks guys for not frying me for that chapter. They will get back together eventually. I'm a huge s&s fan. Sorry it took so long to get this out. I couldn't get this one out sooner; fanfiction.net was acting strange all weekend. Thanks for all the reviews and feel free to e-mail me.

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

"Peter we need to do something. They are all having more problems than usual with each other." Sophie said worried about her group.

"I've noticed. Whenever I come around when they're together they all, seem do be down. We need to do something. Tell me all about the troubles they are having."

"Well the first one and most obvious is that Scott and Shelby haven't been talking the last two weeks. Shelby tries but Scott just ignores her. They are both really upset about the break up. They are both reacting so differently though. Scott has the usual reaction. He's pouting and being rude to everyone. He won't participate in anything unless he has to, and he keeps snapping at everyone. He's basically having problems with everyone.

"And how is Shelby acting?"

"She's the one I'm more worried about. She is acting like nothing is wrong. She is as happy as she has ever been it seems like. She never stops smiling and is being extremely friendly to everyone, even David."

"I'm with you. I am more worried about Shelby. That's not a normal reaction, especially or Shelby. Do you know why they broke up?"

"No I couldn't find that out." She said upset that her group wasn't talking to her.

"Ok who else is having problems?"

"Well, actually their aren't any other big problems But it seems that they whole group is fighting because of the way Scott is acting."

"Then the only way to solve our problem is to help Scott through this. Since it is affecting the whole group I want the cliffhangers to go on a quest."

"When do you want to do it peter?"

"I think we should leave first thing tomorrow morning. Go call all the cliffhangers and I'll tell them what the plan is ok?"

"Ok." Sophie kissed him on the cheek and went to go get the cliffhangers.

~~~~~ Overnight ~~~~~~~~

The next morning after breakfast all the cliffhangers were ready to go. Not that any of them really wanted to go.

"Ok guys, you ready to go" Sophie said looking around at her not to happy group.

The rest of the cliffhangers moaned.

"I wish I could come with you," Jeff said waving good-bye.

With that they were off. They spent all day hiking around the forest. Peter was in the front leading the way. Scott walked by himself right behind Peter. Then about twenty feet behind him were Daisy, Ezra, Jill, and Shelby. They were talking and joking around and having a lot of fun. They didn't even really notice how hard the walk was. Then right behind tem was David, just listening to their conversation. Making comments when he saw fit, but mostly keeping to him. Then about fifty feet behind David were Juliet and Auggie. They didn't talk much; Auggie was just walking with her so she wouldn't be alone. Then right behind them was Sophie. They walked all day until around 5:30. Then they started to set up camp.

"Ok guys. I'm going to split you up into two groups. One group will go out and get some wood for the fire, and they other group with stay here and set up camp. Scott, Juliet, Ezra, and Jill. You will be the group to stay here and set up camp. Shelby, Daisy, David, and Auggie you will be the group to go out and collect some wood."

They all split up and went to do the jobs they were assigned. About an hour later they got the fire started and began cooking dinner. About thirty minutes later everyone had their dinner and were all eating their food.

"Ok guys, you will be left alone tonight and we will be going back to horizon. You guys will have to find your way back alone tomorrow. We gave you guys all the necessary tools to get back to horizon so you should be fine. See you guys tomorrow." Peter said turning and walking away.

"Bye guys, be good." Sophie said running to catch up to Peter.

"Peter why are we leaving them here?" She asked confused. The last they had spoken that wasn't the plan.

"Right now they aren't a group, they are a bunch of little groups. The only way for them to get back tomorrow is for them all to work together in one big group. It will hopefully bring them closer together."

"My aren't you smart, Mr. Scarborough." She said holding onto his hand.

"Ok guys, its getting late we should split up. Peter said boys will stay in that tent over there and the girls will stay in this one. Good night everyone." Juliet said authoritatively.

They all said good night and went to the correct tents.

~~~~~ Boys tent ~~~~~~~

Auggie had trouble sleeping. He had too much on his mind. As he looked around at all the other guys sleeping he realized that Ezra was still awake. "Yo ez, you awake?" he whispered.

"Yeah what's up?"

"Yeah can I talk to you about something?"

"Sure, wanna go outside?" he asked curious about what Auggie was going to say.

"What is it Auggie?"

"Well I um have a friend and he has a problem and doesn't know what to do about." Auggie said hoping Ezra would buy it.

"Who?"

"Umm he's a ridge runner. You don't know him. He's new."

"Uh-huh ok, continue." He said knowing that Auggie was lying.

"Well my friend has this super great girlfriend. She's beautiful and nice, and really smart."

"But…" He said knowing their was something else.

"But my friend likes this other girl he just met. He doesn't know what to do."

"He should be true to his heart, but also fair to his girlfriend and not just string her along." Ezra said knowingly. He had been the one in the relationship before and knew how it felt to be strung along.

"Thanks man, he really needs the advice."

"So are you gonna break up with Jules for Jill." Ezra sad curiously.

"How'd you know?" Auggie was now worried that Ezra was gonna go tell everyone.

"You're not a very good liar. So are you? I won't tell." Ezra said sincerely.

"I don't know yet. I'm kind tired, let's go to bed."

When Ezra was getting out of the tent he didn't realize he had kicked David and woken him. David had heard everything they were talking about.

~~~~~~ The next Day ~~~~~~~

They had been walking for a good two hours. It was a really hot day and everyone was getting tired. They decided to take a break. They all sat down under some big oak trees.

"Scott, can you pass me the water canteen?" Shelby asked.

Scott didn't even look at her he just chunked the canteen at her barely missing her head.

"Gosh what was that for?" she asked trying not to show how upset she was.

"Forget it." He mumbled, still not looking up.

"What has been your deal lately man?" Auggie was starting to get really fed up with Scott's behavior and knew something had to be said to him.

"Nothing, everything is just dandy." Scott replied sarcastically.

"Stop taking you troubles with Shelby out on everyone else." Auggie couldn't hold it back. He had to tell Scott exactly how he felt.

"There are no problems with Shelby because Shelby is to good for me now." He said in a whiny tone. He was really starting to feel sorry for himself now and everyone else knew it.

Shelby couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't see Scott hurting the way he was, but she knew she had to do it. She got up and walked away.

David saw Shelby leaving and just couldn't help the easy joke, "hey sexy, wait up for you real man." He said calling to Shelby.

Scot ran up to David and started pounding on him. But before he could do any real harm auggie and Ezra were able to hold him back. Scott sat back down with his knees up to his chin.

"You know what, you're right. When you act like that she is better then you." Daisy said disgusted by how Scott was acting.

"Shut up Morticia." Scott replied.

"Hey don't talk to her." Ezra said defending Daisy.

"Oh yeah, what are you gonna do about it?" Scott said standing up to show how much bigger he was then Ezra.

"Step back man He's not worth it." Auggie said to Ezra.

"Would everyone just stop fighting." Juliet said trying to make peace.

"Who asked you?" Scott snapped at Juliet.

"Hey Jules was only trying to…" Auggie started.

"Trying to what, but in as usual." Scott said finishing his sentence before Auggie could.

Jill had heard enough of this fighting and was annoyed by the way Scott was acting. She decided to put in her two cents. "You know what Scott, you are really lucky and you take it all for granted." She said in a calm voice.

"Lucky? What do you mean Lucky? The only person I have ever loved just left me." He said in a calmer voice then he had been using.

By now everyone was looking at Jill in anticipation, waiting for her answer. "You're lucky because you've had people who have loved you. You have parents and friends who like you for you. You even have someone who loves you so much they look out for you and would give everything up for your happiness and success." As soon as she said this she looked at daisy for help.

"Yeah, we all have Peter and you take him for granted Scott." Daisy said hoping she had fixed Jill's blunder.

"I think its time we continue on our hike. Is everyone ready." Scott said standing up. The rest of the hike he thought about what Jill had said and by the end of the hike he was even smiling.

Author's note: I have a couple of questions for y'all. Jill or Juliet? Do you like the other stories besides s&s or should I cut the out? Script or story format? And what is the name of the prep school across the way.
