Melissa and Jackson decided to tell the gang at breakfast that the rule would be annulled and while telling them this set them up. When the two walked back to the camp site, Lex was putting back together the radio, Nathan was lugging water, Daley had just gotten back from collecting fruit and was starting the fire. A few minutes later everyone was eating. Jackson stood up and cleared his throat.

"Melissa and I have decided to go out, meaning that the relationship rule is annulled." Melissa stood up and grabbed Jackson's hand.

"So Nathan you can ask out Daley like you have been wanting to do for days." Melissa said as Daley started choking on a piece of mango while Nathans eye practically popped out of his head "And Day, you can stop talking about Nathan every night before we go to bed." Eric and Taylor were snickering on a log beside Nathan and Daley.

"And Taylor you can stop fighting with Eric so he won't see that you like him, and Eric you can stop moaning Taylor's name in the middle of the night." Eric stopped laughing and looked at Taylor while her jar was hitting the floor. The rest of the Breakfast was spent in silence except for Jackson, Melissa and Lex who where talking like nothing happened. Everyone finished breakfast pretty quickly and left to do chores. Jackson told Eric that he could help Taylor with the Laundry, making him lug water with Melissa. During breakfast he told lex to fake trip over a piece of wood making it look like he hurt his ankle and ask Nathan to take him job of helping Daley get fruit.

The Plan was working well so far until Nathan and Daley where walking by the watering hole only to see the abandoned water jugs and foot prints off into the forest.

"What do you think they're doing?" Daley said and laughed a little.

"Same thing I have been wanting to do with you for 2 years now" thought Nathan as he grabbed a mango. Or at least he meant to think it. Daley whipped around so she was facing Nathan.

"What! You're the one who never asked me out!" Daley turned back around only to hear

"I thought you hated me! Its not like you sent any signals to me or anything!" Nathan said 'oh great now we are fighting! I'll never get to be with her' he mentally kicked himself.

"We have been out her for like 4 hours and you haven't said anything. The only reason I believed that fake fall Lex did was because I was hoping you would ask me out." She began walking and looking for more fruit.

"Is it true? Do you really talk about me every night?" Nathan asked hoping for the answer he longed to hear.

"Of coarse I do Nathan your the last thing I think about when I go to bed and the first thing I think about when I wake up….. Have you really been wanting to ask me out for days?" Daley look at he sandals, at this point she had relised what she had said and was too embarrassed to look up. Nathan stepped closer to her and lifter her chin up with his finger. He kissed her lips gently.

"more than anything." He said with his eyes still closed. When he opened them Daley was smiling at him. The next thing they knew they were sharing the most passionate kiss either of them had have experienced. When air was needed they broke apart. "Daley, will you go out with me?"

"Of coarse I will." Daley said before kissing Nathan again. Little did they know Melissa and Jackson had been watching from inside the forest.

"Our plan worked!" Melissa said happily watching the new couple. Jackson put his arms around Melissa's waist from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Yep… you know...that's what…we were doing... before they… started screaming… at each other" Jackson told Melissa as he planted soft kissed on her neck. Melissa turned around and put her arms around her neck. They were millimeters apart and almost about to kiss when she said "What about Taylor and Eric?" she stepped back with a definite smirk on her face and started to walk back to the water jugs. He grabbed her arm and spun her around .

"That was mean." He said with a pout on his face. She gave him one peck on the lips but he had a spell on her that she couldn't walk away from, and soon they were as hopeless as Nathan and Daley

Back at camp Eric was washing a shirt while Taylor was hanging up clothes to dry (or how ever they dry it out)

"Eric don't scrub that shirt to hard you'll loose the color in it!" she said as he tried to get the mud out of one of Taylor's green shirts.

"You don't need to fight with me anymore, I know you like me." He said with out looking up from the stain. She rolled her eyes.

"Then don't talk about me in your sleep." She retorted he didn't acknowledge her comment. "You know I don't fight with you because I like you. You are just so annoying and no one else will try and shut you up. And…" Eric stood up and walk to Taylor standing only about a foot in front of her. "A-an-and... I-I might-t have a little something f-for you." Taylor stuttered out her confession as her and Eric as their bodies almost touched.

"And I definitely have feelings for you." Eric said as a foot became inches, and inches became centimeters until their lips finally touched in a sweet kiss both of them had been longing for. When they broke away they couldn't keep the smiles off their faces.

"Remind me to thank Jackson for annulling the rule for no relationships later" Taylor said "Wait, we are in a relationship….. Aren't we?" She asked confused. "She looks so cute when she's confused" Eric though as he put his arms around Taylor.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." He said as he kissed the top of her head. She smiled and they got back to work.
