Davis continued to be in pain. As he, Ken, and Yolei sat at a table in public, they saw Kari and T.K. across from them and acted like a cute couple as they fed each other. Davis couldn't stand seeing this anymore.

"Davis, why don't you just look away?" Ken said.

"I want to, but I can't." Davis said. "This is so not fair. I was going to admit my feelings to her, but just when I was ready, he of all people beat me to the punch. Now it feels like I'm being punched."

"Davis, I'm sorry, but you really are too late." Yolei said. "Kari seems to like T.K. and she doesn't know how you feel about you. Maybe it's time you finally moved on. I think you should consider going out with someone else."

"Leave it alone, Yolei. Davis is ready when he's ready." Ken said.

"But he might never be ready if he doesn't at least try." Yolei said. "He might be one of those people that mope around about this for the rest of his life."

"The rest of his life?" Ken said and whispered to her. "If that relationship gets more serious, he could end up killing himself. Close casket because I doubt he want to see those two together at his funeral."

"Davis, you should at least try." Yolei said. "What about Ashely? You know she likes you. How about you go out with her? In fact, here she comes." All of them looked and spotted Ashely walking down the street. "Go and ask her out."

"I don't know. How can you go out with someone when you have feelings for someone else?" Davis said.

"You can't unless you think you're ready. Clearly, you don't think you are." Ken said. "Besides, you said you stay away from them until you figured out what you want." Davis didn't think he was, but he looked over at Kari and T.K. and hated seeing that. That's how he also got a great idea.

"Wait a minute. I got it." Davis said. "One way to know if Kari likes me is to make her jealous."

"Come again?" Ken said as both of them didn't like the sound of that.

"I think I will go out with Ashely to make Kari jealous. If I make Kari jealous, she'll see that she should be with me and not T.K." Davis said.

"No. That's a terrible idea. That never goes well." Ken said. Davis didn't listen as he got up and went to talk to Ashely. "Does he ever really think about this stuff?"

"Of course not." Yolei said. "He always does what he wants until it blows up in his face. That's when he learns his lesson. It's always the hard way in these scenarios." Ken began to see that. All they could do is sit back and watch.

"Ashely, hey!" Davis called out and got her attention.

"Hey, Davis. I'm glad I found you. There's something I want to tell you." Ashely said.

"Can it wait?" Davis said. "I want to know if you would actually like to go out." As soon as Ashely heard that, her whole world felt like it just lit up.

"Are you serious? When? Where?" Ashely said.

"Um… I'm not sure yet." Davis said. He looked over to Kari and T.K. He needed to figure out where they were going for his plan to work. Ashely spotted that and was able to put the pieces together.

"Wait a minute. You like Kari, don't you?" Ashely said.

"What?" Davis said as he tried to act innocent.

"You want to go out with me so you can make her jealous." Ashely said. Davis did not see a way out of this one.

"How did you even know?" Davis said.

"I'm a girl. We tend to pick up on those kinds of things when we're not the ones being crushed on." Ashely said. Davis felt like he was in trouble now. No way Ashely is going to go along with it. "I'm in."

"What?!" Davis said as he didn't expect her to go with it when she got the truth.

"You heard me. It might actually be fun. I'll find out where they're going." Ashely said as she went over to talk to them. Davis couldn't believe it. Davis walked over to them and was liking this.

"She actually went through with it." Davis said.

"You mean she said yes?" Yolei said.

"She saw right through me. She knew what I was planning and agreed to help me." Davis said.

"No way." Ken said.

"That can't be right." Yolei said. Ashely came back over to Davis.

"They're going to the bowling alley tonight." Ashely said. "Meet me there by six and we can start our plan there." All three of them couldn't believe that Ashely was actually helping Davis with this.

The Penthouse

"A little peanut butter. A little jelly." Miley said as she fixed herself a little sandwich and went to the couch. "On the couch. Now to eat." She was about to take a bite, but that was when Davis and the others came in.

"Davis, this jealousy plan of yours is a bad idea." Ken said.

"Sounds like I'm not the only one about to have some jelly." Miley said.

"Ashely went along with it. I'm sure it's fine." Davis said.

"Yeah. That doesn't make sense." Yolei said. "If Ashely likes Davis, why would she agree to a plan to help Davis get another girl? It makes no sense."

"What's going on? Give me details because this sounds interesting." Miley said. "At least better than anything that's on the screen."

"Davis came up with a crazy idea to try and make Kari jealous." Ken said. "So he asked Ashely to help out. Ashely is aware of what he's doing and she actually agreed to go with it."

"Oh my gosh!" Miley said. "Davis that is brilliant in an evil way. Why can't you be brilliant with your school work?"

"You actually agree with this?" Ken said as he couldn't believe that.

"What about Ashely? I still don't see why she would agree to this if she likes Davis." Yolei said. "Do you think she's just that nice of a person?"

"Maybe she really doesn't have a crush on Davis." Ken said.

"What? You saying she doesn't really like me?" Davis said.

"All I'm saying is that maybe she confused her feelings towards you for love." Ken said. "That can happen. Maybe she didn't like you that way all along."

"It doesn't really matter. I think I've made it clear that Kari's the one I like and I'm doing this." Davis said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date to get ready for." Davis went on to his room and didn't care about how they all disagreed with what they were doing.

"Miley, you're not going to talk him out of this?" Ken said.

"He's a teenage boy." Miley said. "Teenage boys don't know as much as they think they do when it comes to girls. Besides, he always ends up learning his lesson the hard way."

"That's what I said!" Yolei said.

"This is not going to go the way Davis wants." Ken said as he can only imagine how bad this is going to go for him.

…

The Bowling Alley

Davis went to the bowling alley just like he said. He was a little excited to do this. All he needed was for Ashely to show up. He looked around and he soon spotted Ashely heading his way.

"Hi, Davis." Ashely said.

"Hey. Thanks for doing this." Davis said. "I saw Kari and T.K. already head inside. So are you ready to do this?"

"You bet I am. This could be fun." Ashely said. "It will also be fun when I beat you at this game."

"Hey! I'm not going down that easily." Davis said as the both of them went on inside. It looked like the place had a decent amount of people in it. Davis looked around and he spotted T.K. and Kari.

"There they are." Davis said.

"Already spotted them. Let's get our shoes and pick a lane." Ashely said. "Just remember to act casual." Davis understood. The two of them rented their shoes and were ready to put their plan into action. "The only bad thing about bowling is that the shoes always look hideous."

"Come on. They don't look that bad." Davis said as he slipped his on.

"That's only because they look uglier on you than me." Ashely joked.

"Hey!" Davis said as the two of them shared a laugh. When both of them were ready, they went over to a lane close to Kari and T.K. and Kari was able to spot them.

"Davis? Ashely?" Kari said.

"Hey, guys. Surprising to see the two of you here." Davis said as he tried to act innocent.

"Not really. We told Ashely where we were going." T.K. said. "It is surprising to see you, Davis. Are you two on a date or something?"

"Sure am." Ashely said as she grabbed Davis by the arm. "Come on, Davis. Let's start bowling."

"Sure. You want something to eat as well." Davis said.

"How nice of you to ask." Ashely said. The two of them did their best to make it look like they were on a date. Kari and T.K. were suspicious about a few things, but they weren't too sure and just tried to ignore it.

"You think it's working?" Davis asked.

"Maybe, but I think we might have to turn it up a little." Ashely said.

"You got an ideas?" Davis said.

"Just follow my lead." Ashely said. She grabbed a bowling ball and put her acting skills to the test. As they were working, some people spotted Ashely.

"Is that Ashely Allson?"

"I think so."

"This is so cool."

"Davis, could you help me?" Ashely said. "I need a little help with this bowling ball. Could you show me? You're so strong and athletic."

"Sure." Davis said as he walked over and placed his hand on hers. He was trying to show her how to bowl and people could not believe what they were seeing. Some snapped some pictures on their phones.

"Look at those two." T.K. said. "They seem to really be into each other."

"You really think so? T.K., don't you think it's a little strange they're here when we told Ashely we were going to be here?" Kari said.

"I don't know. Maybe they were hoping to double date or something." T.K. said. "Look, let's just leave it alone for now."

"I guess you're right." Kari said and the two of them just kept going.

"I think it might be working." Davis said. Ashely rolled the ball and it hit the pins, but she got a perfect strike.

"Aw! I got a strike! I've never gotten a strike before!" Ashely said. She was so excited that she jumped into Davis' arms and hugged him.

"Wow. It's just a strike." Davis said. "You still got a long way to go. Besides, you only got it because of my help."

"Oh please. We were acting just now." Ashely said. "I bet I could still beat you at this game."

"We'll see about that." Davis said. Both of them spent their time actually playing the game and trying to get Kari's attention to try and make her jealous. It was a little hard to tell if it was actually working. Ashely bowled again and got another strike.

"Look at that. I'm winning." Ashely said.

"Maybe, but the game isn't over yet." Davis said as he ate some pizza.

"Look at you. You got sauce all over your face." Ashely said as she grabbed a napkin and tried to clean him and tried to get Kari to look. "How does Miley and her husband put up with you?"

"What are you talking about? I'm awesome." Davis said.

"Says the boy who is losing." Ashely said.

"Says the girl who thinks she's all that." Davis said.

"Now you done it." Ashely said as she playfully shoved his pizza against his mouth and had a laugh.

"If you weren't a girl, I would so pay you back for that." Davis said. In the end, both of them were having a great time. Ashely spotted T.K. leaving for a drink.

"I'll be back. I need a refill." Ashely said as she got up and went to get her own drink. Davis might have came here for the wrong reasons, but he actually was having a great time with Ashely.

"Hi, Davis." Kari said as she came over. "Is it okay if we talk for a little bit?"

"Yeah." Davis said as he believed this was what he was waiting for. "Is something wrong?"

"No. Well, I'm not really sure because a few weird things are going on here." Kari said.

"Weird? Like what?" Davis said as he acted innocent again.

"Well, I don't want accuse people of anything, but I just want to be sure." Kari said. "Are you and Ashely trying to make T.K. jealous?"

"T.K.?! What?!" Davis said.

"I think Ashely might have a thing for T.K." Kari said as she looked over and saw those two talking together. "We told Ashely where we were going and you guys showed up. Then, it's almost like she's trying to get his attention."

"You think Ashely is trying to make T.K. jealous?" Davis said as that was the opposite of what he was going for. "What about you? Are you jealous by any chance?"

"No. I don't really get jealous." Kari said. Davis didn't know that. "That could lead to something mean or rude and I don't want to be that kind of girl. I just don't think Ashely is being fair to you or T.K. for that matter." As soon as she said that, it completely ruined all that Davis planned.

…

The Next Day

"So Kari thought Ashely was trying to make T.K. jealous. I guess that bothered you." Ken said. Davis met up with his friends and told them what happened last night.

"Yeah. That kind of killed me. I'm starting to think Kari really feels nothing for me." Davis said.

"So what happened after that?" Yolei said.

"Nothing. I told Ashely and we just got out of here." Davis said. "She also posted that whole thing was staged so people didn't think we were actually dating when we're not. So much for making Kari jealous. She doesn't get jealous, but when we weren't trying Ashely and I actually had fun together."

"Davis, Ashely may have agreed to help you, but that still doesn't make what you did right." Ken said.

"I guess you're right." Davis said. "It was all for nothing and I guess I shouldn't ty to make someone jealous. It isn't fair to the person I'm using or the one I like." Davis looked around and spotted Ashely heading their way.

"Hey, Davis. Can we talk?" Ashely said.

"Yeah." Davis said as the two of them went to talk in private. "Listen, Ashely. I know you agreed to help me the other night, but it still wasn't right for me to do that. You deserved better than that."

"Davis, its fine. I was glad to do it seeing as how you like Kari so much." Ashely said.

"But why did you agreed to help?" Davis said.

"That's actually what I wanted to talk about." Ashely said. "I did it because I thought it would be the last time we get to hang out. I'm actually leaving for the next few months."

"You are? Why?" Davis said.

"They're doing some filming outside the country and I have to go with them." Ashely said. "So I'm not going to be able to see you for a while."

"Oh…" Davis said and he thought works best with him. Since he still isn't sure about how he feels towards Ashely, this might help.

"You know, there was something we could have tried to make Kari jealous." Ashely said.

"It wouldn't have mattered. Kari doesn't get jealous." Davis said. "I guess this is goodbye." Davis turned away, but Ashely wasn't leaving like this. She grabbed Davis by the sides of his face and actually kissed him. Davis was surprised by this and so were the others. Yolei even spat out her soda from seeing that. When Ashely released him, she began to leave and gave him another wink as she left. Davis went back to the others and was shocked.

"What just happened?" Davis said.

"I think you're looking at a possible girlfriend if she comes back." Yolei said. Maybe Ashely leaving is a good thing for it will give Davis time to think, but what will happen when she comes back?
