"I can't believe I'm stuck on an uninhabited island with you!" Kate remarked as she pulled out a nail file.

"Oh yeah? Well, it ain't no pleasure trip for me either!" Lizzie yelled.

"Ladies, could we please tone it down a bit?" Ethan looked through the bushes.

"At least you get to hang with someone who's more popular then you! I have to lower my standards to your level just to make sure you understand me!" Kate screeched back.

"Just because you're what some call 'popular' doesn't mean you have to be so snotty! I remember when we used to be friends!"

"Don't remind me!"

"What happened Kate? You used to be so nice! But once you got 'cool friends' you left your real friends in the dust!"

"My 'real friends'? You guys? Puhlease! My real friends have style!"

"Ladies, can't we discuss our unresolved issues another time, like when we're back on the MAINLAND!!" Ethan screamed.

"Whatever!" Lizzie and Kate started walking away.

"Wait a sec, I'm not finished!" Ethan grabbed the two by the back of their shirts. "Sit," he pushed them onto a log.

"I'm tired of people thinking that I'm just a stupid pretty boy!"

"You aren't?" The girls asked, quite surprised.

"No… I do have a brain! Just because I'm hot and have a sense of style, doesn't mean I'm dense! Okay, so maybe sometimes I'm slow on the uptake, but aren't we all fried after one of Mr. Peter's algebra tests? So when we get back…

"If… we get back."

"Yes Kate, If we get back, would you please try to treat me as a regular person. Like the way you treat Gordo or Larry."

"My gosh," Lizzie patted Ethan on the back, "I never knew it meant so much to you Ethan. We'll do our best."

"I have something to say!" Kate stood up and Ethan took her place on the log with Lizzie. "I know I'm like, always snotty to you urchins. But I really think you guys were better friends then the ones I have now." Kate paused for a moment as she let this sink in. "Thanks for being there for me, I'm sorry for always causing you so much pain."

"Wow." Lizzie was stunned. "I guess if you two say something, I should say a little something too. Well, I'm tired of always being 'Little Miss Goody-Goody' and I want to change that. I do have my bad side." Lizzie glared at Kate when she snorted in protest. "Just ask my little brother, Matt. I try to be nice to everyone, yes, even you Kate, because I don't want anybody to get mad at me for saying something mean. I want to be popular, I just don't know how to get there. So I think, when I get back to the mainland, I'm going to change my whole image and style."

"You know, that's a great idea! I can help you pick out some new clothes and everything." Kate started looking Lizzie over, excited at the prospect of doing a total make-over.

"Come on girls, we'd better try and make a signal or something, just in case a plane comes." The trio pushed their way through the undergrowth, looking for any sign of life.

A/N: Ahh! Ethan is SMART? Whoa… how am I gonna work with that? Stay tuned!
