Quick Author's Note: Thanks for everyone who has been reading,reviewing,and enjoying. Although, someone did suggest that Alex shouldn't die? What? Ahaha, there's no way I would have a character die,especially in this type of story. Although it was pointed out that Casey should stop hating Alex. This is true, and believe me, Casey stops hating her in Chapter 6. Something else happens in Chapter 6 as well, except I think I already said too much! :)

John decided to drag George to join the other campers in their group and play basketball. George was hesitant at first, but he decided to give the sport a try.
"Hey Guys"
Elliot Fin and the rest of the guys looked over and saw Munch and an unfamiliar guy walking towards them.
"Hey Munch, who's your new friend?" Fin asked.
"His name is George" John said "Any chance you have two more spots on a team?"
"Sure" Elliot said "You can be on my team. Let's go and start this game."
One of the guys passed the ball to Elliot, and he started running to the other side of the court. He tried passing the ball to George, but he didn't catch it. Another guy on the other team ran to their side of the court and scored two points a minute later.
"Hey Munch, does your friend know how to play basketball?" Fin asked his friend.
"I'm sorry, but he doesn't get out much."
The group started laughing, and George joined in. He can't have fun if he can't laugh at himself.
"Very funny, guys" George said.
"All right, let's do this."
Munch held the ball in his hand and passed it to George. He caught it and passed it to Elliot. The entire group of campers ran to the other side of the court. Elliot tried to shoot the ball, but Fin raised his hands and blocked Elliot's shot. Elliot started getting angry; he could have had the shot.
"What the hell was that?" Elliot shouted.
"It's called a block" Fin said "Ever heard of it?"
"Ever heard of a foul? You touched me when you blocked my shot."
"Calm down, man" Fin said "It wasn't a foul, and I'm sure that the rest of the group can confirm that it wasn't."
"Oh, so now you're plotting the whole freaking group on me?"
Elliot pushed Fin away from him, and that was the move that started the fight. Fin ran in front of him and the both of them started punching each other. The other guys on the court didn't know what to do but chant "Fight!" and cheer them on. A minute later, their counselor, Patrick ran over and got in the middle of Fin and Elliot.
"That's enough from the both of you!"Patrick shouted as he spread him arms so there was distance between the two campers "First, I'm bringing the whole group to the nurse's office so the two of you can get some medical assistance. Then the both of you are going to the camp office!"
The Girl's group was at the isolated part of the camp for archery. They were walking to archery and talking amongst themselves.
"Did Elliot ever accept your challenge?" Melinda asked Casey.
"Yeah, he did. He said to meet him at the dock tomorrow during their free swim."
"Is there any chance we can watch? Amy is going to yell at us if we don't go to Arts and Crafts" Olivia said.
"Unless the three of us are sick and get away with it, I think only one of you should come."
"I think Olivia should go, since she has a big crush on him" Melinda said. Casey started laughing.
"I don't have a crush on him!" Olivia said loudly.
Once they started arguing about if Olivia had a crush on Elliot, the group was already at the archery range. The Archery counselor greeted them as they put their backpacks on the ground. Some of the girls decided to sit down and watch, having no interest in shooting bows and arrows. However, Alex Cabot wasn't one of them.
"You're actually going to shoot?" Casey asked Alex.
"Why not? I love to have a challenge" Alex said as she put on the arm guard and grabbed the bow.
Casey, Alex, and Olivia walked to the line where they had to start. When the archery counselor told him it was okay to shoot, the three of them started the normal routine of shooting the arrows. What wasn't routine was the fact that Alex's last arrow was in the bull's eye of the target. Olivia was shocked, but not as much as Casey.
"What the hell?"
"Great job for your first time, Alex" the counselor said "Everyone can get their arrows now."
While the girls went to get their arrows, Casey knew that Alex was trying to show to her that she wasn't the quiet and snobby girl that Casey thought she was.
"What seems to be the problem?"
Elliot and Fin were in the owner's office. His name was Mr.Cragen, and not many people got off with a warning when they were sent to his office.
"This idiot blocked and fouled me..."
"Even though I didn't" Fin snapped "You have some nerve lying to the owner's face like that."
"At least I'm not a constant liar..."
"That's enough of the both of you" Cragen said "I think that the rest of the week, the both of you don't have free swim and after every meal, you have to clean up the dining hall."
"But sir, I..."
"There are no excuses. That's your punishment, and my decision is final."
Olivia, Melinda and Casey were talking amongst themselves as they started eating their supper.
"I can't believe her" Casey said "How can she possibly get a bull's eye the first time she held a bow and shot an arrow?"
"Maybe it wasn't the first time" Melinda suggested.
"I think you shouldn't judge people, Casey" Olivia said. Casey didn't say anything as she continued eating her sand-which. A few seconds later, Elliot sat down next to Olivia and joined them.
"Hey girls" he said.
"Don't you usually sit with your male friends?" Olivia asked. Elliot could only laugh at her question.
Guys don't always have guy friends" Elliot replied "Casey, we have a problem about tomorrow's dock challenge."
"What's the problem?"
"Well, today in basketball Fin and I fought each other..."
"You mean an actual fight?" Melinda asked.
"Yeah, so I'm banned from free swim for the rest of the week" Elliot said "I'm sorry Casey, but I can't do it."
"Yes you can."
Olivia, Melinda and Elliot looked at her with confused looks on their faces.
"What do you mean he can?" Olivia asked.
"The owner said that he can't go to free swim, but did he say that Elliot can't go to free swim with us?"
"No..."
"Then meet me at that dock during our free swim."
"Casey, he'll get into even more trouble than he already is!" Olivia said.
"And Trouble is my middle name" Casey snapped "Come on Elliot, can't you live a little?"
"Fine" Elliot said "Is your free swim at three?"
"Yeah" Melinda said.
"Fine, it's a challenge then."
Olivia was sitting on the steps of the group's cabin. She was somewhat at Casey for trying to get Elliot in trouble. She knew that it was possible that Elliot could be kicked out of the camp, and Olivia didn't want that. As she sat on the steps, she saw Elliot, Munch and George walking towards the cabin, since the boy's cabin is past the girl's cabin.
"You two are a riot together" Elliot said.
"We try" Munch said "Hey look Elliot, it's your girl."
"My girl?"
"It's obvious that you like her" George said.
"Right, I'll catch up with the two of you later" Elliot said.
"All right, see you later."
Munch and George walked past the cabin while Elliot walked towards Olivia on the steps.
"Isn't it lonely out here?"
"Not really" Olivia replied as Elliot walked up the stairs and sat down next to her.
"Then why are you out here?"
"This is going to sound really cheesy" Olivia said "But I like looking at the stars."
"It's a great night to look at them."
Elliot put his arm around her and looked up at the sky with Olivia.
"It's weird" Olivia said "You think that the stars are so close, but they're light-years away. I wonder why that is?"
"It's because the stars don't like you" Elliot joked. Olivia turned to him and gave him a little push away from him.
"Stars don't have feelings" Olivia said.
"But I do have feelings, and I don't appreciate you pushing me away" Elliot said with a smile on his face.
"Well, I'm sorry" Olivia said as she smiled at him "Well; I think I'm going to get going. I think your counselor will get mad if you don't go to your cabin."
"You're right. Goodnight Olivia."
"Goodnight."
As Olivia walked into the cabin, Elliot walked down the steps and walked past the cabin. He knew that this was the beginning of a wonderful thing.
