Summer is here! I'm so excited now I have more time to read,write,and swim. WOOH! I'm excited because I got my 200th review!

"I guess those performances were okay," Maddie said.

Khione got up on stage with the contestants."Hello hoolay! This is Khione with your contestants,and we're gonna let the crowd here choose the winner!" She pulled up Scott and Neveah. "What do you think of Scott and Neveah and their version of OneRepublic's All We Are?"

The crowd applauded very loudly.

"Cool! Or,rather,Safe!" she said,making a baseball umpire gesture. "Now how about Jamie and John and their rendition of Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Cailat?"

Another loud applause.

"And how about a hand for Sean and Julia and their version of Broken Record by The Plain White T's?"

A booming applause came.

"Wooh! You two are definately safe. What do you all think of the song Sweet and Low by Augustana,sung by these two?" She pointed to Danny and Kate.

An applause as big as Sean and Julia's came.

"You two are also absolutely safe. And next is Demi and Raine's performance of All at Once by the Fray."

A soft,but gradually raising applause came.

"Okay. so how about Nate and Amy's song, Fallin' Apart by the All American Rejects?"

An applause and a few 'woohs' were given.

"Settle Down. Now how about Haden and our sucky singer,Annie here's performance of Before the Worst by The Script?"

The final and most surprising applause came.

"Really?" Khione said. "You know she can't sing right?"

"But that doesn't mean she can't wrap," Haden said.

"Umm..," Annie whispered. "Haden,it's spelled r-a-p."

"Oh yeah. That doesn't mean she can't rap."

"Stop breaking my wall!" a voice of a young girl came from a distance.

"Who was that?" Chris asked.

"Oh nothing," Chef said. "That was just the author."

"I said stop it!" the voice came again.

"Alright!" Maddie yelled. She looked at Khione. "Get on with it."

Khione had a confused,but amused look on her face. "Umm. So I guess we'll just wrap it up early then. So invincibility goes to Neveah and Scott,Danny and Kate,Nate and Amy,Sean and Julia,and Haden and Annie! Now it seems that Hana,Christian,Tonia,Vince,Elizabeth,Alex,John,Jamie,Raine,and Demi are gonna be going to elimination. But there is a twist. Instead of one person being voted off,the pairs will be voted off by our lovely readers!"

"Are you breaking my wall again?" the voice asked threateningly.

"No ma'am!"

"Good."

"Okay!" Maddie said. "Contestants! Elimination will be tomorrow,now,we're gonna have a little bonfire under the eiffel tower,then we'll take a nap here!"

*Confessionals*

Kate: Kate's face was pale. "Fist we have to SLEEP under one of the tallest buildings in the world,now we're have a fire under it? Haven't these people heard of safety?"

Julia: Julia was clapping in glee. "Yay! I love bonfires!"

*At the bonfire*

Demi frowned as she looked around,everyone seemed distant from eachother. Where was the love? They were having a bonfire,under the eiffel tower! What could be more romantic? They were in Paris,the City of Love! There was not a single hint of romance...yet.

*Confessionals*

Demi: Demi was rubbing her hands together evilly. "It's time to play matchmaker!"

*End*

Demi decided to start with something easy. She looked around,then found the perfect pair,Haden and Hana. Hana was on one side talking,well arguing,with her partner Christian. Haden was talking to Sean. Occasionally Demi would notice Haden glancing over Sean's shoulder to look at Hana.

"Time to get to work," Demi said to herself. She walked over to Hana and Christian. "Guys! Stop fighting!"

Christian ignored her. "Okay,Joan of Arc. She led a rebellion and is still counted as a saint."

"But she did it out of self defence," Hana rebuked. "And how did that end up? Oh yeah,she died."

"So you admit it! At certain times violence is the answer!"

Hana groaned. "You-"

Demi sighed. "This argument is pretty stupid. Just shut up and admit it! Christian is right."

"Ha!" Christian said.

"And so is Hana."

"Ha!" Hana said back. Her serious look then suddenly broke into laughter. "I'm sorry,I just can't stare at you without laughing!"

Christian cracked an amused smile. "Is that a bad thing?"

Hana laughed again. "No,I just suck at staring contests."

"I can believe that," Christian said.

Demi smiled too. "Good. You're done arguing."

"I don't think we were arguing in the first place," Christian said. He pointed to Hana. "I mean look at her."

Demi grinned again. "Okay." She walked away from the two. A few moments later,she was caught up by Haden.

Haden had his hands in his pockets as he faced her. "Umm Demi. What's going on over there?" he asked nervously.

"Over where?" she asked innocently.

Haden looked down and shuffled his feet. "You know. Christian...Hana..."

"Oh Haden. Are you jealous?"

"No!" he denied. "It's just. I want to know."

Demi smirked. "They just made up."

"Oh. Good."

"You know Haden," Demi said. "If you like Hana,you can just say so."

Haden blushed. "I don't like her!"

"Too bad."

"Why?" Haden asked. "Does she like me?" he said quickly.

Demi shrugged.

"Ohh," Haden was disappointed. "I should have known." He sadly walked away.

Demi smiled. She didn't need to do any more work with Haden. Soon he'll tell Hana how he felt.

When Haden walked back,Sean was suspicious.

*Sean Confessional*

"Is Demi trying manipulating others? That's my job! Oh well. Demi. Poor child. You just made it easier for me to get Haden's loyalty."

*End*

"Why so glum Haden?" he asked.

Haden sighed.

"Girl troubles?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh. I'm telling you buddy. I've been there."

Haden looked at him hopefully. "You've been in love who doesn't even look at you for reasons you don't know?"

"Well no,but I have had my share of crushes."

Haden grinned. He grabbed Sean's shirt. "Help me!"

"Umm okay." Sean delicately took Haden's hands off of him. "I'll help you get Hana."

"Okay!"

"Wait. As long as you help me,with an alliance of sorts."

"Yes!" Haden was desperate.

Sean smiled and evil smile. "Good."

*At the bonfire*

Demi moved on to Julia and John.

"John doesn't like me," Julia admitted.

"But you like him?" Demi asked.

"Yeah,but. Someone told me that if he doesn't like me then." She sighed. "Maybe he's not worth it."

Demi put a hand on her shoulder. "Oh Julia...Don't worry. I'll tell him you like him right now!" She ran off to get John.

"No!" Julia yelled. She ran after her. "Demi!"

It was too late. Demi had gotten to John first. "Julia?" he said.

"John don't listen to her."

"Julia."

"Okay! Okay! I did like you,but I didn't know if you like me so I didn't tell you."

"Julia."

"I can't even contemplate these feelings,because everytime I bring them up to you you push me away."

"Julia."

"So just tell me how you feel,so I can stop worrying about this?"

"Julia?"

"Yeah?"

"There's a bee on your shoulder."

"What!" Julia looked at her shoulder and saw the eyes of a giant bee. "Ah!" She jumped.

"I got it." He grabbed Julia by the shoulders and brushed the bee away. "So what were you saying?" he asked,oblivious to what she was saying before.

"I like you John," she said bluntly.

"What?" John froze.

Demi had to literally cover her mouth to keep from squealing.

Julia twiddled her thumbs. "I like you."

"Uhh...Like like like me?"

Julia smiled. "Yeah...Do you like like me?"

John's face drain in color "Umm...Yeah..."

"Really?"

John nodded.

"Yay!" Julia put her arms around John's neck and kissed him on the cheek,then she bounced away.

John gently touched the part where she kissed him. "So," Demi said. "You two are an item?"

John blankly nodded.

"Mission accomplished!" Demi ran off to find her next pair. She was humming happily when Jamie caught up to her.

"What are you doing?" Jamie asked.

"Oh nothing!" Demi said,giggling.

Jamie crossed her arms. ""You're doing something. Tell me!" She shook Demi.

"Okay!" Demi said. "Don't tell anyone,but I'm playing matchmaker!"

"So that's why Julia was so rapturous after you talked to her and Haden so dismal."

"Rapturous and dismal?"

"Happy and sad. Now. I WANT TO HELP YOU!" she said in a little kid tone.

"Fine," Demi said. "I'll go find Elizabeth and Alex. You find Annie and Christian."

"Yay!"

*Jamie*

Jamie snuck around like a spy on a mission. Finally,she found them. Christian was still talking to Hana and Annie was talking to Elizabeth. She saw Demi across from her and nodded to her.

Jamie walked up to Annie. "Hey Annie!"

"Hey crazy chick," she said.

"So...What's up?"

"Umm nothing?"

"Hmm." She looked around. Demi had taken Elizabeth away to play a cards game. "So Christian..."

"What about Christian?"

"Do you like him?"

"As if!" Annie scoffed.

"Oh really darling?" Christian said. It was in no way a flirty move. He narrowed his eyes.

Annie growled,then it turned into a soft smirk. "Oh don't happen to be disappointed in that do you?"

"Not at all, sweetie."

"Oh really? I thought you would since you obviously can't get a girl,even if you tried."

"You want to go there Summers?"

"Of course not Greene. Unlike you I have self control."

"What you also have is a bad temper." He stuck his tongue out at her.

"Could you be anymore immature?" Annie crossed her arms. The two glared at each other,a spark of anger forming between them.

Jamie studied them. Between them was pure hatred. It wasn't love-hate like Duncan and Courtney and not flirty like Heather and Alejandro. No it wasn't a secret. They seemed to know a lot about the other,but still wanted to prevent it. "Wow. You two really-"

"Hate each other?" Annie said. "Yep."

"No," Jamie said. "You two are very alike."

Christian stiffened. "Are you crazy? I'm NOTHING like that." He pointed to Annie.

"And I wouldn't want to be," Annie said.

"Me either."

Jamie sighed. "You two just agreed right now."

"No we didn't!" Annie and Christian said in unision. The both covered their mouths.

"Listen. I don't know what's going on between you two,but you have to fix it. No matter how much you want to deny it the truth is you two are a lot alike. I think you two could be good friends." Jamie grinned. "Or more."

Annie face turned pink out of embarrassment.

"So," Jamie continued. "I think you two should- SQUIRREL!" She turned her head to the bushes and followed the squirrel.

"Weird girl," Annie said to herself,her face still pink.

Christian groaned. "Stop blushing,it's so annoying and girly."

Annie's face turned red with anger. "Who said I was blushing!"

"I could see it!"

"I was just embarrassed! For some weird reason she thinks we're the same. Yeah right. We may both be harsh and cynical and have daddy issues,but unlike you I don't get angry for no reason! I'm not guarding everything about me! I'm not hiding myself because I'm scared of being hurt again like you are!"

"You do EXACTLY that!" Christian said harshly.

Annie got silent. She realized he was right. "Maybe I do," she said. "But it's because I've gone through a lot."

"Right, And unlike you I don't complain about my life," Christian said. He mimicked her in a high pitched tone. "Oh I'm Annie and my dad abandoned me! Boo hoo! "

"I don't sound like that!"

"It's like that to me! You're complaining about loneliness,but you know nothing about being alone. You have Elizabeth,and you family and all that,but no, you just hang on to you dad. Me? I have nothing and no one,and it's been like that for a long time Annie! So you want to talk about bad fathers Annie? Talk to MY dad who in jail for murder. Or maybe you want to talk to my mother? Well you can't,because she's dead,and all because of HIM." Christian huffed. After his rant they both were quiet. He waited for an answer. "Well?"

Annie glanced at him. "What? Do you think I'll be sympathetic? I won't. I'm not gonna go 'Ohh Christian! I didn't know you poor boy! I'm so so sorry! Let me get you an ice cream cone!'. If you're looking for that you're not gonna get it from me." She kept her arms crossed.

Christian sighed,and his frowned softened. He put an arm on her shoulder. "Thanks."

Annie flinched. She turned away. "No problem." This time she really did blush.

*Danny and Kate*

Danny and Kate both awkwardly sat still. They seemed to be the only ones left at the bonfire. "So," Danny said.

"So."

"Want some s'mores?"

"What?"

Danny's mouth opened. "You never had s'mores?"

"Well...I've seen them."

"Okay. We have to fix that. " Danny pulled out gram crackers,marshmallows,chocolate,and sticks form behind a log. "I got these from first class." He put two marshmallows on a stick.

"Are you sure that's clean?" Kate asked.

"It's fine," Danny said. He slabbed a marshmallow on a gram cracker,then he put a piece of chocolate and another gram cracker. He handed it to Kate.

Kate didn't take it. "I think it's too hot. I'll probably sit it out."

"Oh please." He stuff it in her mouth." She quickly spit it out. "What? Not good"

"It burmed ma thongue!" She said,her tongue burning.

"I don't understand you," He said nonchalantly.

Kate punched him in that back. "Ithiot!"

*Demi*

Demi was exhausted. While trying to get Elizabeth and Alex together,she ended up getting them into a fight,and finally she got away from it. She didn't feel like doing anymore matchmaking,so she sent Jamie to find Danny and Kate. She fell onto the grass. "Ahh!"

"Hey!" Raine said. "Get your own grass will ya?"

Demi smiled. "I have as much right to the grass as you do."

Raine ripped off some grass and threw it at her face. "There's you grass."

She threw it back at him. "Not nice dude!"

Jamie watched from a distance. "Aw!" she exclaimed. "Demi found her own little match!" She turned around. "Now it's time to find Danny and Kate." She snuck around in the bushes and found something else that was interesting.

Behind the bushes was Vince and Amy. Together. All alone. Kissing. That's right mouth on mouth.

"Well that's interesting," Jamie said to herself. She saw Nate. "Hey Nate look at this."

Nate came over and then saw the two. His face froze. Jamie saw a look of...

But let's move on shall we? I'm sure you don't give a crap about this drama. Or maybe you do? Or maybe you don't? Or maybe you do? Or not. Maybe...Maybe...

*Confessionals*

Neveah: "Okay, so starting a fight with Scott over something as stupid as music wasn't such a good idea...and it made me feel even worse from the love song he chose, I thought he'd make us sing something about break-ups or something. Man, I'm such an idiot...

Scott: "So me and Neveah are still fighting. I'm not sure if we're gonna break up over something so weird. I'm sure we're fine...I know what you're thinking. Why did I choose,All We Are instead of a a hard break up song? Well, I have to admit it wasn't my first song choice. But I always wanted a song to gracefully show how I felt.

*Scott flashback*

Scott was all alone,and decided it was the perfect place to practice his song. He angrily sang the lyrics. "When you see my face hope it gives you hell! Hope it gives you hell! When you walk me way hope it gives you hell! Hope it give you hell!"

*Back to Scott confessional*

"I'm not always so calm alright! I have feelings!"

*At the bonfire*

Neveah had decided to have a stroll. She ended up walking under the Tower. She walked around,and only closed her eyes for a second until she opened them and saw Scott sitting in front of her. He was listening to a song on his ipod. Neveah waited for a while. He still didn't notice her. She was relieved,but there was still something she had to ask him.

"Are we over?" she asked him.

Scott turned around. He motioned her to sit down. She did. "I don't know," he said.

"Oh."

Scott nudged her. "Well don't say oh like that. It makes me think you don't like me," he said playfully.

Neveah smiled. "So what do we do about this? Do we get back together?"

"I don't know. If we get into a fight over something as small as music,maybe it's not worth it."

Neveah looked down. "Yeah. Maybe."

Scott put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey. Let's still be friends okay?"

Neveah smiled. "Sure." She stood up. "I think I'll get some shut eye."

Scott looked up to her. "Good night."

"G'night." She walked away,and sighed. When she got to the campsite,she saw Nate. Something was bothering him.

"Neveah?"

"Yeah Nate?"

"Were you and Scott talking?"

"Yeah."

nate sighed and wrapped his arms around Neveah's leg. "Please don't split up Neveah. You two are just so good together. I don't want you two to be separate."

Neveah patted his head. "It's okay sweetie. Go to bed."

"B-b-ut Neveah! I don't want to go to bed!"

"Go to sleep!"

"But I'm not tired!"

"Nathaniel!"

"Fine." Nate drudged to his sleeping bag.
