"Take me away! To a place where the good times, good times roll! I just wanna stay! In the place where the good times, good times roll!" The setting was usual. On the sandy beaches of Malibu, California. It was one of their last days here before they had to go back to Hillcrest. It would have been peaceful, but as usual, Ashlee and Lizzie decided to turn that idea around. While Kacy and Emma decided to tune up their already golden tans, Ashlee and Lizzie spread peanut butter on the sleeping girls' arms. Emma and Kacy awoke to seagulls pecking away at them. Kacy's hazel eyes shot open, and narrowed at her cousin, who was doubled over in laughter.

"You're DEAD!" Kacy screamed as she tore off after Ashlee.

Emma sweetly smiled and said to Lizzie, 'good one!'. They both laughed as Ashlee and Kacy rolled around in the sand wrestling. Lizzie turned on 'Good Times' as Emma and Lizzie went to go join the girls in the sand fight.

"Gosh my room seems so...so empty!" Kacy said, looking around the room.

"Maybe because you got rid of all the junk!" Ashlee said.

"No. There's still ONE piece of junk left!" Kacy said, cutting her eyes at her cousin.

"Sorry I'm late!" Lizzie yelled, running into Kacy's pink room.

"Sice when are you NOT late?" Emma asked, sitting on Kacy's fuzzy pink bed and reading the 6th Harry POtter book for the 8th time in a row. Lizzie smiled and shurgged. The blonde had had hair in pigtail braids, a black 'rockstar' shirt, a pink and black skirt on, and of corse, converses.

Suddenly a cell phone went off, ringing to the tune of 'Uptown Girl'.

"Hello?" Kacy asked.

"Hey Kacy it's Caden," The voice on the other end said.

"Oh hey!" Kacy exclaimed, as Ashlee rolled her eyes.

Ashlee was the one that introduced Kacy to Caden. Caden was as big of a sports freak as Ashlee, and they both had a major love for soccer. The 2 had grown up together. Then, Ashlee moved and never really stayed in contact with him. Then Ashlee was playing a championshp soccer game that summer and Caden was the opponet. Ashle and Caden used to be tight...but lately, something had ben drifting them apart...and that thing, was Kacy.

"Okay! Alright! See ya then!" Kacy exclaimed and then hung up, "OH MY GOSH! OH MY FREAKEN GOSH! You guys will NEVER guess what just happened!" Kacy screamed.

"What?" Lizzie asked, before Ashlee could say something mean. Caden is going to Hillcrest! Oh I am just SO excited!" Kacy ran out of the room shrieking with excitement. Ashlee just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Look Ash...there has go to be a reason that you don't like Kacy and Caden going out together!" Emma told Ashlee.

"They AREN'T going out together!" Ashlee screamed.

"You better not say that you don't care if Kacy and Caden get together!" Lizzie said to Ashlee's anger.

"OK, Caden is a sports freak! I just don't think that Kacy relizes that his 3 favorite things are sports, sports and SPORTS...in that order!" Ashlee said, laying down on Kacy's fluffy pink bedspread.

"Yeah well...opposites attract," Emma said quietly.

"Emma! Ashlee does have a point! Caden is a MAJOR sports freak and Kacy is...well..." Lizzie was saying but was then interuputed.

"Just a freak!" Ashlee finished her sentence for her.

"Not excatly what I ment but.." Lizzie started off.

"This is gonna be the best year at HIllcrest ever!" They all her Kacy sheirk from another room.

"Oh! Let's do the happy dance!" Ashlee said sarcastically.

"OK!" Lizie said, as she did a made-up version.

Kacy ran in the room, squeeled with delight, and then ran back out. Lizzie, often quoted the blabbermouth, trailed behind her.

"OK, now that Lizzie is gone, what is the REAL reason you hate them liking each other?" Emma asked.

"For once...it's not Kacy I don't trust. I just don't like Caden liking Kacy. He's been acting really weird latly...og gosh I don't know!" Ashlee said.

"How has Caden been acting weird?" Emma asked.

Ashlee started to say something, but then stopped herself. Evedentaly, Ashlee could see something no one else could.
