Author's Note: Thanks for all of the reviews. They really helped a lot.
"This is so confusing!" Fulton said as he walked downstairs. "Maybe if I talked to someone about it it would help."
"Ok Fulton the next person you see you are going to tell." he thought as he looked around.
"It just had to be Dwayne didn't it?" he said looking up into the sky.
He walked over to Dwayne who was cutting up some logs for the fire. "Hey Dwayne can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure what do you wanna talk about?" he said sitting down and talking off his cowboy hat.
"Well see I have this friend who has this girlfriend and they really like each other and are really happy together." He paused a moment. "But this other friend really likes her too and really wants to go out with her. What do you think he should do?"
"What?" Dwayne said with a confused look on his face.
"Never mind." Fulton said and got up to leave. "Ok the next person." He thought as he looked around once again.
"Not Averman." He said watching Averman washing his sheets again. "He probably wouldn't take it seriously." He added and continued to look around.
"Not Connie." he said and watched her walk toward the cabin away from Guy. "She would see right through me and know who I was talking about." And then he looked toward Guy. "He is off in dream word about Connie so he wouldn't be any good to talk to.
"Definitely not Goldberg." He thought as he watched him stuff a whole turkey sandwich down in one gulp. "He would be even more confused than Dwayne."
He walked into the cabin and heard Luis practicing his pick-up lines in the bathroom. "Well he wouldn't be any help either." He said and then went back outside.
He looked around the side of the cabin and saw Julie and Portman. "Well I can't talk to them. This whole thing is about them." He thought and then walked to the back to the back of the cabin and looked down near the river. Adam, Russ, and Charlie were down there trying to catch some fish.
He continued looking down at the river and didn't even notice that Ken walked up. "Man why does Charlie have to be around people when you need to talk to him?" Fulton said still not knowing Ken was standing behind him.
"Yeah it always seems to happen like that doesn't it?" Ken said and Fulton swung around.
"Man little bash bro I didn't even realize you were standing there." Fulton said. "You scared me a little bit."
"That's a first." Ken said laughing.
"Hey Ken would be good to talk to." Fulton thought and a sudden smile popped on his face.
"What are you so happy about?" Ken said looking at Fulton.
"Ken can I talk to you a minute?" Fulton said getting serious.
"Sure what's up?" Ken said also getting serious.
"Well see I have this friend who has a girlfriend and they really like each other. But I have this other friend who really likes his girlfriend and really wants to go out with her himself. What should he do?" Fulton said looking at the ground.
"So in other words Julie and Portman are going out and they really like each other but you really like Jules." Ken said and Fulton looked shocked.
"And I thought Connie would see through me." Fulton said. "Promise you won't tell anyone."
"Promise." Ken said and they shook on it.
"So what do you think I should do?" Fulton said getting very serious again.
"Well I think that I was the wrong person to ask but if I were you I would not interfere with what it going on with Jules and Portman. What they have only comes around once in a lifetime." He said and then paused for minute. "If Mother Nature wants you and Julie to be together it will happen on its own time but in the meantime just let Jules and Portman have their time."
"Wow thanks Ken you were a lot of help." Fulton said and then got up still thinking about what Ken had just said.
"That's not fair." Fulton heard Julie say and moved toward her voice.
"Yes it is." Portman said and smiled at her.
"Just because you are taller than me you get the last ice cream. That is so not fair." She said putting her hands on her hips.
"Then I guess we will just have to share it." Portman said and sighed acting like he really didn't want to share with her.
"Guess so." Julie said and was pulled in for a quick kiss.
Fulton immediately felt jealous but at the same time and smile tugged at the end of his mouth. "Ken is right." He said after awhile. "What's meant to be is meant to be and will happen eventually." Fulton said and another smile came across his face. "Even if what is meant to be is not me." He said as he walked upstairs to take a quick nap.

"Hey angle baby." Guy said as he entered Connie's room.
"Hey." She said and put down the book she was reading.
"What have you been up to?" he said sitting on the bed.
"What you mean for the five minutes you haven't been in my sight? Nothing really." She said as Guy leaned in for a quick kiss.
"Not so fast mister." Connie said putting her hand on his chest and pushed him away.
"What?" he said a little confused.
"I don't know I just wanted to make you wait a little bit longer." She said and they both smiled.
"Well have I waited long enough Queen Connie?" he said rolling his eyes.
"Not if you have that attitude." Connie said still smiling. "Hey I like the way Queen Connie sounds."
"Connie!?!" guy said getting frustrated. "And don't get used to the Queen part" he said and smiled.
"Ok ok fine." Connie said and paused. "I guess you can kiss me now." She said with a fake frown on her face.
"That's what I thought." He said and leaned in for his long awaited kiss.
Just then Fulton walked in.
"Hey Fulton." Connie said.
"Man I was" Guy started but was cut off by Fulton.
"I know you were this close." Fulton said and sat on Julie's bed.
"Well I'm going to go downstairs and get me a snack." Connie said and headed for the door.
"So am I." Guy said following her. "See ya later Fulton."
"Bye." He said lying down.
*
"I'm going to go upstairs and just sit around and think for awhile." Julie said.
"Alright I think I'm gunna go try and catch some fish." Portman said and smiled at Julie.
"Key word: try." Julie said and returned his smile.
"Hey I'm actually very good at catching fish thank you." He said proudly.
"Whatever well I will see you in a little bit." Julie said and started for the cabin.
*
"Oh hey Fulton." She said as she walked in.
"Hey."
"What are you doing in my bed?" she asked looking at him confused.
"Oh when I came in Connie and Guy were in here and this is just the bed I landed on I guess." He said.
"Oh." She said walking over to Connie's bed and sitting on it.
There was a long moment of silence and then Fulton spoke up.
"So you and Portman look really happy together." Fulton said looking over at Julie.
"Yeah we are." She said with a sudden smile on her face.
"I just got hungry all of a sudden." Fulton said sitting up.
"You know what? So did I." Julie said standing up.
She started walking over to the door and tripped. Fulton quickly got up and caught her just in the nick of time (I have always wanted to say that) and they were standing face to face.
"Wow that was a close one." Julie said looking into Fulton's eyes.
"Yeah it was." He said and then suddenly kissed her.
Just then Adam walked in with a plate of cookies and milk. When he looked up his mouth dropped to the floor and so did the food.
"Oh my God that did not just happen." Julie said backing away from Fulton.
"I am so sorry Jules I just couldn't resist." Fulton said trying to comfort her.
"How could you! You know I'm going out with Portman and you know we really love each other!" Julie said getting very angry. "I thought you were his best friend!" She said and looked at Adam who was still in shock.
"Jules I have had a crush on you for the longest time and I just wanted to kiss you once." He said and then paused. "I promise it won't happen again."
"It better not." Julie said and there was like five minutes of silence. "Should we tell Portman?"
"Well he is going to find out one way of another." Fulton said and nudged his shoulder toward Adam. "I think it would probably be best if I told him."
"Yeah I think it would too." Adam said and Julie and Fulton both looked toward him.
"Well I'm gunna leave now." Fulton said heading for the door and then stopped. "Hey Jules." he said as he put his hand on the doorknob.
"Yeah Fulton." She said putting a hand on Adam's shoulder.
"This doesn't change anything between us does it?" he asked.
She smiled sweetly and then said. "Of course it doesn't."
Author's Note: The reviews got me out of the writers block pretty fast. Thanks for all of your great ideas. I'm sorry this chapter was a little short but this is just kind of a getting everything together before the important stuff happens kind of chapter. Um yeah I think I said that right.
