Eric did something other then just sleep. He felt overheated so he decided to relax in the ocean. He would float there with his eyes glued shut trying not to fall asleep. After he felt he done enough. He would struggle out of the water back on land.

"Hey Eric," She said throwing him a towel.

"Hey Melissa," He chuckled. rubbing the towel over and under his face.

"I've been watching you for sometime now." She said smiling.

"Oh really..? Must have been boring for ya.." He said,

"Yeah..But you don't seem to have much fear of the water.."
"I learned how to swim when I was 5...My dad taught me how...He used to be real good at it.." He sighed,

"Swimming?"
"No..being a dad.." He said turning away. Melissa frowned.

"Dad..? He was..?-"

"He was somebody who would always make me laugh...I would want to be like him.." He said smiling.

"But..?" She asked,

"He wasn't the kind of father who would be there for his son,"
Melissa frowned once more.

"Oh...I'm Sorry.." She said moving upwards.

"Yeah well...Being popular kinda made me forget all about it...still, I kinda wish he was more father like then more of a commidian.." He said walking up the hill to camp. Melissa stood there stiff.

I never knew Eric had it so hard...Feel sorry for him.

"Eric," Daley said. Eric stopped in front of her.

"Yeah?"
"Your not doing anything about the water...So how about you fish." She suggested. Handing him the fishing pole.

"Fishing..?" He asked.

"You can handle that can you?" She asked. He felt like smacking her...But he didn't.

He snagged the fishing pole. And walked up to a tall stone near the ocean. He sat there silently. casting his string into the water. it bounced up and went back down. Shining in the sun light on the side of the bobber.

He sat back and covered his face with his straw hat. He laid there snoozing. Not dreaming...

...Boing...boing..boing...

The pole started shaking, Erics leg started moving around, He immediantly woke up and grabbed hold of the rod. Pulling his arms back pulling the rod. Back anf forth he went. It was the fish verses Eric. He finally gave it one more tug, she fish came flying out of the water and onto the rock. But..He knew he had many more to go...

Camp

"Wheer's Eric?" Nathan asked,

"He's fish-"

She was cut off by seeing Eric walking up the hill with a load of fish in his hands.

"There..Here's your fish.." He sighed. And threw them into Daleys arms.
"Wow Eric..It's ju...wow!" He said smiling.
"Eric...Good job," She said smiling. He nodded, Daley and Nathan ran to the fire place trying to get the fire going.

He stood there watching him work.

"Hey Eric..you up for it tomorrow?" He asked.
"I guess...Fishing was kinda..relaxing." He said crossing his arms. He noticed Taylor walking by.

"Hey Tay," He greeted.

Taylor did a loud 'humph' and walked right past him,

"What's with her..?" She asked. Daley shrugged and continued working on the fire.
