"Stop it! Stop it please!" Melissa sobbed.
"They have the camera!" Lex pointed at Taylor and Eric inside the plane. Taylor laughed and waved.
Jackson ran up. "Turn it off, Taylor!" He yelled. She ignored him. He pulled a wire from the sound system Lex set up, and Melissa's voice stopped. She stood there crying.
Nathan and Daley ran up. "Hey Melissa, that was an interesting way to tell Jackson you liked him!" Nathan said, not noticing her tears. She sobbed more.
"What happened?" Daley asked.
Taylor and Eric came out of the plane laughing.
"You self-centered princess! All because of a shirt!" Melissa screamed at her. Nathan put his arm around her. (Best friend only people, best friend only!) She calmed down.
"It wasn't all my fault!" Taylor said. "Eric helped!"
"Well that's obvious!" Daley said.
"She just saved your life, and this is how you repay her?" Nathan said.
Melissa wriggled from Nathan's grasp and ran toward the fire, wiping away tears.
"Taylor, give me the shirt Melissa burned." Jackson said, trying to keep his voice even.
"What are you gonna do with it?" She said suspiciously.
"Throw it in the fire!" He said.
"No, you can't!" She said.
"Fine, but your dinner ration tonight is being cut!" He grabbed the camera from her, took out Melissa's tape, gave the camera to Lex, then followed Melissa to the fire.
---------------------------------------------
When Melissa saw Jackson coming, she tried wiping away her tears, but they wouldn't stop flowing.
"Hey." He said, and sat down beside her. He put the tape in her hand.
"Thanks." She said shakily. "Look, I would really appreciate it if you just forgot this ever happened."
"Well, did you ever think maybe I liked you back?" Jackson said.
"I'm really not in the mood for jokes." Melissa said.
"I'm not joking." Jackson replied.
She smiled.
---------------------------------------------
Nathan and Daley had finally caught the pig.
"So, which one of us is gonna do it?" Nathan said, staring fearfully at the pig.
"You know Nathan, I kinda don't…"
"Want to kill it? I feel the same way." He blurted.
Together they picked the pig up out of the hole and set him free.
-----------------------------------------------
A/N: Yeah, I didn't want to copy my other story and have Melissa fall down the cliff and get knocked unconscious, but I didn't want to copy the show and have her fall but not get hurt, so I just didn't write it in at all. Review lots!
