"Jackson, can I talk to you?" Daley asked pushing him off to the side." I can't take this anymore. Its not working. Its hasn't even been 24hours and they can't stop fighting. I thought the talking would stop but I think it's gotten worse. We need to think up a better plan or maybe just drop the whole thing. Iv'e gotten used to it. Imagine a day without them yelling. "
She thought about it." Quiet. I can't stand quiet. I'll go mad!'
" What do you suggest we do?"
"I don't know. Maybe you should decide.I mean my ideas don't turn out so great. I'll leave it up to for deciding."
"Okay I have a plan. Lets just keep them like this for today and if it doesn't turn out to work, then i'll pick something else."
"Sounds fare. Okay deal."
They smiled and went to do work.

Melissa walks up to Eric. He and Taylor were at camp sitting in chairs. Taylor was supposed to be sleeping but she was really listening.
"Hows it going Eric? Had enough of Taylor yet?"
"Duh...this is torture."
Just then Taylor sits up straight and blurts out" I can hear you!"
Melissa walks away and winks at Eric who smiles back. Then he turns to Taylor. He stopped smiling. But, he had a plan! So once again, he smiled.
This time at, Taylor!
" Don't you think this is torture?"
"Of course. I'm going crazy"
"I'll alert the paramedics" He laughs. But suddenly stops." Okay, heres what I think we should do. If Daley and Jackson are gonna keep us tied like this forever unless we get along, then I got a plan."
She looks at him. Wondering. Thinking. Whats going on?
"Whats your big idea, smart guy?"she said sarcasticly laughing.
"You sure your up for it, not so smart girl?"
"Yes-just say it!"
"Okay. Come here"he stood up and she did too. They walked over by the plane where nobody could hear." If getting along is what they want us to do then, we should pretend."
"OOooh-"she sounded very interested" You mean like,acting?"
"Exactly"
"I like this plan of yours! Is it gonna work?"
"Of course. We just need to pretend to get along when others are around. No fighting. Lets agree to everything and be polite."
"Ok sounds good. When do we start?"
They saw Jackson walk by. He quietly whispered"Now."
They started to laugh as if they heard a very funny joke!
"Good on, Eric!"
"Thanks Taylor!"
Jackson walks over." What are you two up to?"
"Of I was laughing at the HILARIOUS joke Eric told me!" she said still faking a good laugh.
"Really? Eric-was it HILARIOUS?"
Eric was puzzled. He didn't even tell a joke." Uhmm...I guess"
"Really? What did you say?"
"Huh?" Eric hesitated.
"The joke...what was it?"
"Oh, you don't wanna hear it " he said cautiously.
"I think I do. Just say it."
"Okay uhhmm..." he made one up at the top of his head" Why couldn't the 7 year old get into the pirate movie?"
"I dont know. Why?"
"Because it was rated...RRrrrrrrr!" he started to fake a laugh. But Jackson didn't laugh. Taylor actually thought it was a good joke, so she started to crack up.'WoWTaylor is good at acting!Eric thought.
"Uhhmm...okay. HAha! You gotta come up with better ones than that" Jackson laughed and walked away.
That was a close one!
But not enough to think they were pals .
Taylor loudly says" I love you,Eric!"
Eric looks speechless and worried.She went way to far.Their cover was sure to blown now."Taylor! Why did you do that? Were sure to be caught now!"
"Just trying to make it seem convincing."
"Do you tell people who are your 'friends'that you love them, everyday?"
"No!"
"Then don't say anything you wouldn't say!"
"Okay."
They walked down back to camp. Maybe they'd have better luck later.
