A/N: Okay, well, I decided I just had to include the conversation in the cupboard(one of my favorite bits ;).

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the charters, what I may describe or dialogue, only what I write,

without further ado, on with the story.


Rich's P.O.V.

It was after the doughnut eating contest, Gabe was gloating, hideously I might add. Jimmy was gloating along with him, surprisingly not as much. Glancing at Kait, she looked about as hesitant as I was. "Umm, I think it's time we had a time-out," she said, glancing at me. "Yeah, I agree." I reply, slightly annoyed at my team, knowing entirely what she meant.

~In the library~

Gabe's striding around the room, like a cockerel markin' his territory. Jimmy's lookin' quite chuffed with himself, playing on the Wii, and I'm sat on the couch, texting Kait, this is what it said:

'Kait,
meet me in the storage cupboard,
behind the studio
, in 5mins.
Rich.
'

Kait's P.O.V.

Esme, Dani, on the tablet (well kind of, her one was running out of power, so she'd gone to look for the charger). I, was in the kitchen. Esme was stretching funnily enough, since she didn't actually have a body to stretch, and I was playing with my nail polish, when I felt a vibration in my pocket, causing me to jump out of my skin. I'd been meaning to change it off vibrate for a while now. "That you?" Dani asked, when she had found her charger, and plugged it in. "Yeah" I say, taking my phone out my pocket, and read the text. It was from Rich, he wanted me to meet him in 5 minutes, 'well, it takes two to send one due to the bad reception,' I think to myself, 'and three to receive one, and then another three to get there,' I continue, when I hit the bullet point. 'SO THAT MEANS I'M GONNA BE LATE!' I mentally shout. Excusing myself, I quickly walk out the door, and then start running when I turn the corner.

Rich's P.O.V

'Urgg, where is she,' I started getting impatient. Granted, I'd only been waiting a few minutes, but still.
My feelings for her had grown, since the fake wedding, but not too much, I'm relieved to say. Just then I hear a knock, opening the door, to see Kait, 'wow' I think, gesturing for her to come in. "I got your message," Kait said, "yeah, this needs to stop." I replied. "Okay, and we're having this conversation in the cupboard because?" Kait asked, clearly a little uncomfortable with that fact.
"Look, you seen what it's doin' to Dylan, and Gabe's talkin' like we're at war." I reply. Kait smiled half smugly, half relieved. "And you want to surrender, consider it done. Girls rule, the end." She said about to walk out, what, did she not get it? "Look Kait, this is serious," I say, "I'm fright'nd of history repeatin' itself, and everybody fallin' out with each other"
I couldn't imagine fallin' out with Kait, if such a thing were possible, or worse, if she fell-out with me. She sighed as she gave in, "yeah, you're right," she replied. "So what are we gonna do?" she asked. "Well, some'ow, we need to make sure nobody wins," I answered. Kait pulled a face. "Are you sugesting a draw?" She asked, making sure she understood. "Yeah. Look, it's the final round, and the boys are 1 point behind the gals, SO..." I say, trailing off, "...so, how are we going to guarantee that it's a draw?" I smile, Kait had listened, I wasn't sure if she would, to be honest. "I know just the chap, follow me." I say, as I was about to walk out the door; Kait did the same thing, making just the perfectly awkward situation.

3rd person P.O.V.

"I know just the chap, follow me." Rich says, as he was about to walk out the door, Kait did the same thing."Er, hehe, after you," Kait said, slightly embarrassed. "Ladies first," Rich says, deciding to try the polite approach. "No, I said after you Rich," Kait replied. "No, no, gentlemen," Rich insisted "ladies first." Kait looked at him for a moment, then shrugged. Only once again, as she was about to walk out, Rich got the timing wrong, and bumped in to Kait again, both sighing in frustration."Look, I said after you, Rich." Kait insisted,
"Just walk,"
"Rich."
"Just walk, just walk,"
"Rich."
"Just walk," they both kept insisting, Kait's tone going up, to match Rich's, progressively, squeaky voice, until Kait gave him a look,"just walk." Rich said, in his normal voice, letting the tension go with a sigh, and this time waited until she was all the way out the door, before walking.
Kait gave a slight sigh, "you've gone and made it very awkward now." She said. 'what, you mean you didn't think it was awkward before?' Rich thought with a sigh, as he followed her.

Kait's P.O.V.

"You've gone and made it very awkward now." I say, walking back to the kitchen. Granted, it was slightly awkward before, but that was a different kind of awkward.
Anyway, as I walk in to the kitchen, I see Dani and Esme getting all fired up for the next round, like a couple of sports cars, revving up for a race. Rich as gone to get Dylan, he told me his plan on the way. " Okay time for the last round." I say to my team mates, "the concentration round." I say, picking the table up and gesturing to Esme to follow me.

~In the library~

As we enter the library, I can see Gabe throwing warring glares our way, 'okaayy,' I mouth to myself and just keep walking, putting Dani down on the stand. "Look" I whisper, in a group huddle. "Now, this was just meant to be a friendly competition" I said.
"So let- " I was cut off, by Dani, "sorry I can't hear you whispering, I'll just turn the volume up a bit..." she trailed off as she did so. "Yeah, I'm sorry what were you saying?" She apologized, sighing. I reminded her of how it was a friendly competition, so we should try to keep it that way, receiving the standard, 'yeah, yeah' brush off. Roling my eyes, I just hope Rich's plan works.
Just then, Rich came through, with Dylan at his side. Good, phase 1, 'Get Dylan to help' complete. Let's hope he's as good (or 'freaky' to quote Rich,) as he described him. "Meet our new team member." Rich declared. "What?" Esme asked, "Dylan can't join your team, you'd have to many players." She pointed out. "Well, he can if I drop out," he said. "What! You're abandoning us?" Gabe asked shocked, having lost a stand to gloat on.
"Yeah, yeah, d'you know what, I got a really, really bad back."'Hmm.' I thought, 'amusing bluff.'
"Dylan, you traitor. You were a girl." Esme said.
"If chameleons can change colour, I can change sides. Don't worry guys I can do this." Dylan said. I looked at Rich, giving him one of my best 'well?' looks. "He's actually a champion starer," he replied. "If you ask me, they're up to something," Dani said. "Kait, do something." I look at Rich, who gives me an urgent look back, and moved his hand by the collar of his cardigan, doing the 'cut-throat' gesture. "I see no reason why he can't join their team," I say, earning a grateful, and relieved look from Rich.
"Fine," Esme said, obviously annoyed. "We're still gonna beat you though. Dani's our secret weapon in this." "I once played a robot delivery driver, in T.V. pilot, called 'Vandroides'. I am the best at not blinking" Dani said, more to us, than to the other team.

Dylan's P.O.V.
'Hang on.' Yes Dylan? 'Do you mean I get to narrate and stuff?' As long as you don't make it too obvious, yes. 'COOL! so do I just pick up where Kait left off?' If you want to, it's up to you.
'Ok. Right, well, let's get going'

"Contestants," Gabe said, as Kait took Dani to the stall, and I got into position. "Ready?" Gabe asked. "Ready." Dani and I, answer. "Good luck Dani," Kait says, breezily, "and good luck Dylan," she finished. I nodded my appreciation, as Gabe gives the signal to start except Kait and my big brov, who's just walked up beside her, start whispering encouragements to me and Dani. Dani looked like she was having trouble, maybe it was the fly buzzing 'round her face, I'm not struggling at all. Hang on, why do Kait and Esme look freaked out?
Oh, of course, Rich told me, those who aren't used to it do find it freaky. I wonder if Gabe and Jimmy are freaked out.
I just keep on staring, but the previously mentioned, fly had done it's job, Dani had to blink. Resulting in more gloating from Gabe, I'll spare you that, and obvious annoyance from Esme. "I'm sorry, I did my best." Dani said, Kait reassured her that they didn't mind. "Well done Dylan, you won." I can't believe it, "I- I did?" "Yeah, it was for real this time." 'YES' is the only thing going throgh my mind a that moment so I start dancing to try and get my excitement out, resulting in a victory dance from the our team. "Alright, alright, don't milk it." Rich said, "no-one likes a show-off." "Or a role stealer?" Kait remarked, informing him that that's what he normally did, but just got a shrug in response.
"Your brother is not normal." Dani complained. "No-one can go THAT long, with-out blinking." Now, if I know Trafford, I- 'Dyan.' I know that, wha- yeah? 'story, we're not talkin' about reptiles.' Oh, right sorry, where was I? 'You were tellin' Dani why you can go so long without blinking.' Er... oh yeah!
"Well, I learnt how by studying snakes" I reply. She pulled a 'what' face. "They have transparent eye lids?" I suggested, as Rich wrote the score down.
Dani just looked at Kait, as if to ask 'well? are you just gonna let that go?' She just waved it off, Dani just shrugged an 'ok then' in response, "hang on, the boys haven't WON, they just equalized." Esme stated. "Well, well done." Dani said. "Anyway, I'll be back soon, gotta go." Every-one said their 'byes' as she hung-up.
"Huh, indeed, it is a draw." Gabe said, looking at the score board. "I guess that means boys and girls are equal." Kait answers, "who'd have thought that?" Jimmy asked, sarcastically, getting at the fact that she was the one who brought the matter up, but he retreated a bit, when she thew a warning glare his way.
"Well, we can't just leave it like that," Gabe said. "Yeah, we know need to know who's better, boys or girls." Esme said. "Look, we've had a laugh, en't that enough?" Rich asked. "Yeah," Jimmy said looking at me, as I nodded my agreement,"time to let it go," he finished.
"History demands an answer." Gabe said decisively. "Yeah, we're duty bound to play until we know." Esme continued, stepping onto the stall. "For my mother's honour!" She called. "For my father's honour." Gabe replied, as they both had an idea: "tie-breaker." They both said at the same time, provoking every human in the room to sigh, collapsing on to the couch and bean-bags, in exhaustion.


DISCLAIMER: I do not own the characters, or what I may describe and dialogue, only what I write and the bit where the guys are in the library, through the start of the second paragraph that's told from Rich's point of view.

A/N:

That one wasn't quite so trying, maybe because there's not so much dialogue in the part of the episode I did, surprisingly.
It was almost twice as big as the first chapter, so i divided it in to two parts. I decided it was appropriate to have Dylan narrate the bit where he wins the staring competition, also, it means I get to have a character break the forth-wall, and I think either Dylan or Esme would be the kind of character for that, I can see it happening. Well, on to the next one.
