Sam, Jake, Jen, Darrell, and Ryan were all gathered outside of Sam's locker, going over their plan one more time. As the other students began pouring into the halls, they quickly dispersed, smiling and secretly laughing over their plan. Sam shook her head and laughed, this was going to be one fun day if everything went like it should!

After her last class before lunch, Sam walked down the halls to the corner where Jake was supposed to meet her. Sure enough, he was there, looking all smug. Sam laughed and gave him a quick kiss before looking down the hall, waiting for their signal. They had waited about five minutes when Darrell turned the corner and gave them the thumbs up.

Before they could rethink it, Jake spun her around and gave her a huge kiss, which deepened as they got more passionate, and as Rachel came closer. They were so wrapped up in each other that they barely heard Rachel yell "Stop kissing my boyfriend Sam! I don't know why you would ever think he would like a cowgirl like you!"

Sam abruptly, pulled away and faced Rachel, blushing deeply "Well, excuse me! Last time I knew, Jake wasn't dating anyone!"

"Well, my brother here," she said pointing to Ryan who had just came down the hall, "just told me that Jake wanted to know if I would go out with him and of course, I said yes!"

"Sorry, Rachel, but Jake just asked me out, so I think Ryan must have been mistaken. Now if you will excuse us, Jake and I were in the middle of something." Sam said, as she saw Darrell rounding the corner with Jake's mom. She turned around to face Jake and kissed him briefly.

Suddenly, her face stung as it collided with Rachel's fist. "Ow!" Sam cried as she fell to the floor, holding her cheek.

"Rachel Slocum!" Jake's mom's voice rang threw the quiet hall. "I would like to see you in my room for a moment. I will be there as soon as I see if Sam is ok,"

"But-" Rachel started to say.

"Now!" Mrs. Ely repeated, as she turned to Sam, who was now laughing through her tears, along with Jake, Darrel, Ryan and Jen who had been watching the whole thing from her secret location. " I won't even ask what that was about because I won't be able to punish Rachel then and I have been wanting to do that forever now!" she told them cheerfully. All of them laughed so hard they cried. Part one of the get Rachel plan was in process! It was going better than they had thought it would!

"We were so good! Rachel actually believed it when I said Jake wanted to date her!" Ryan laughed as they all walked to Sam's. To celebrate, Sam had invited them all over to her house, well actually Ryan had invited them over to his house but they decided that wouldn't be a good idea. So, in the end they decided on riding the bus to Sam and Jen's stop and walking the rest of the way.

"Yeah and the look on mom's face when she was able to punish Rachel! It was unbelievable!" Jake said

"Definately," Sam said, leaning closer to Jake. After they got off the bus, they had quickly grouped off. Jen and Ryan in the front, followed by Sam and Jake and finally.

"Aw man! Now I'm the fifth wheel!" Darrell complained. "Maybe I shouldn't have let Sammy go so easy!"

Jake stopped in his tracks and turned around to face Darrell, who burst out laughing. "Man, you shoulda seen your face! I was just kidding! I mean, Sammy's yours now, not mine. And you know I won't steal her back from you unless of course, she still loves me!" Darrell managed between fits of laughter.

Sam pulled away from Jake, and walked back to Darrell, "Aw, now Darrell, you know you will always be my secret love right, Honey? Now come up here and keep me from this cowboy who thinks Rachel would make a good date!"

"Now Sam! You better not be talking about me because I do not think that Slocum is pretty! She is a stuck-up snob! No offense, Ryan," Jake said competivly.

"Of course I'm talking about you Jakie-Poo! Who else would have a crush on that Slocum? Not Ryan surely and definately not my Darrell!" Sam said. But instead of saying something back, Jake's head fell and his smile disappeared.

"Well, if thats how you feel, I might as well head home then call Rachel," he said before jogging down the road, past Jen and Ryan who were staring. Surprised, Sam quickly followed.

"Jake! Wait up!" She called as she ran towards Jake. He slowed but didn't completely stop. "I didn't mean it! I was just picking! Come on! You believe me right?"

Jake finally turned around and though he kept a straight face, Sam could tell he was laughing inside. "I might. I guess you will have to prove it to me!" Sam, taking the hint, stood on her tiptoes and kissed Jake right on the lips, but instead of pulling back as she normally did, she let her lips linger, daring him to kiss her back. It worked! Before they knew it, Jake was kissing her back and they were kissing harder than they ever had before.

"Ok, break it up! I know you're a couple of lovesick birds, but this is a road and some people would like to get to Sam's so we can have whatever Grace is cooking!" Jen called, pushing her way through Sam and Jake. Jake and Sam pulled apart, laughing and blushing. They all headed down the road, in the same order as before, with Darrell shuffling his feet behind them.

Finally, when Sam got tired of the scuffing and she knew Jake had known she was picking, she called Darrell. "Come on Darrell! No need for you to be back there when you can be up here with your truly!" she joked. Darrell laughed and trotted up to join them.

They walked into Sam's house, still laughing. But when they saw Linc Slocum sitting at the table, they all quieted down. After brief hello's they all went up to Sam's room. "Sam, Jake, will you come down here?" Gram's voice called up the stairs.

Sam and Jake looked at each other before heading down. They knew Jen, Darrell and Ryan would be listening from the top of the stairs. When they arrived in the kitchen, Linc was leaving and Brynna, and Grace were sitting around the table. "Sam, Rachel got suspended from school today and you and Jake are going to tutor her until she is aloud to go back. Mr. Slocum has agreed to pay you both if you do a good job." Sam and Jake stared, mouth agape. They were supposed to tutor their worst enemy?

When they went back upstairs, Ryan was laughing hysteracally and Darrell and Jen were smiling. "So, Daddy convinced you to tutor my evil sister?" Ryan laughed. Jake groaned and Sam laughed, "Well, think of it this way, now you will have a better chance of getting back at Rachel!"
