I'm back. And it's only been how long? I dunno… but definitely less than six months! So, below is the lovely fourth chapter, along with all that good stuff that to me is just the icing on the cake. Enjoy!

Review Responses

LovieDove- Gracias for the grand review! I don't speak spanish…can ya tell?

SweetArwen- It's great to know you can relate to her…I definitely can too. I don't know, when I write in first person it usually rolls right off my pen. That's why I hate essays .

So, yeah, I don't know about Caveman yet…that's something else I need to ponder I guess!

DigiqueenTMIM- Ah, a faithful reviewer! I'm glad to see you've started reviewing as I've picked up my writing. See, we can get through this! lol! Thanks bunches. You deserve a hug.

YES! Three whole reviews. That's okay…I guess I deserved that since I haven't exactly remained faithful lately to my fellow ficcer…people…lol just read the darn story.

Last chapter:

This place isn't for the weak-minded.

But they'll find that out rather quick.

Change of Plans

Chapter IV

My Fate Is Chosen

I felt so confused and lost in that tent.

So many guys, and just as many names to remember! They're not even these stupid guys' real names! What is up with this tent?

Dr. Pendanski clapped his hands. "So, anyways, here's the deal! Each boy will be paired up with a young lady over here! The guys will be showing their partners the ropes and all that good stuff!"

"Um, Mom…question?" Which boy was that? Hold on, I remember…M. Starts with an M…

Dr. Pendanski's eyebrow furrowed rather quickly. "Yes, Jose?"

"I can see why we're doing this whole buddy thing…but how do we get to know the other girls…ya know...besides the girl we're partnered with?" 'M' asked. I nodded.

So they weren't complete idiots…

"Don't…don't try to find my mistakes! I know what I'm doing!" Dr. Pendanski's face reddened. It really brought out the white on his nose. "Anyways!" The doctor regained his composure. "I'll just pair you guys up now, and..."

"Moooooom!" One of the boys interrupted. Aw, man, what's his name? I know this time, I swear. He's the...Armpit! That's it! Armpit interrupted.

Dr. Pendanski looked miffed. "Yes, Theodore?" I cocked an eyebrow. No wonder the boy needed a nickname...although I'm still trying to decide if 'Armpit' was an upgrade or not.

Armpit carried on. "Why don't we pick our own partners? It'd be a lot easier. For you, I mean."

Survey says…?

Dr. Pendanski huffed. "Fine. Let's pick our partners. I'll be nice for a change."

No one moved.

Well…Twitch kind of twitched…and Amie impatiently tapped her shoe. Um…flip-flop.

Man. Dr. Pendanski looked flustered now!

"Are you kidding me?" He demanded. His arms flapped wildly in frustration. I suppressed a laugh.

What? He looked like a penguin or something with his snow-capped nose, lame fishing hat, and dorky white socks.

"We just wasted thirty seconds of my life making a decision, and then you guys throw it away? What do you want from me?"

Wow. Breath. Take a chill pill.

"Mom, chill, we'll pick!" One guy said, hands up defensively. Taking the toothpick out of his mouth, he got up from his perch and sifted through the girls.

I felt like I was part of one of those criminal line-ups, where you identify the murderer or whatever.

His brown eyes landed on me, his toothpick then following suit. "How 'bout you…Lindsay?"

Ouch. I'm not guilty; I swear I didn't do it!

For a brief moment I examined my surroundings. Amie huffed, reminding me momentarily of Pendanski's winged moment. I let a smile just barely creep on my face.

That was enough evidence for an answer right there.

"Sure."

"Cool." He popped his toothpick back into his mouth.

Being picked was great! One problem…what was my partner's name, again?

...end...

I'm depressed..my dashes don't work...

Oh well.

Haha! I win. C'mon guys…you got to know who's viewpoint this is now, right? Please? I'm not THAT bad an author, am I? So, yeah…that's a wrap for this chapter, I guess! Don't forget…review! Reviewing is your friend…you must embrace it…

Okay getting weird, Kermit out!
