A/N: I know I suck at updating and I am so sorry for the long wait. I hope this chapter makes up for the wait. :)

Shane got up in the morning bleary eyed. He had spent the entire night tossing and turning unable to sleep just because of what he had seen yesterday. He looked over at Jason who was still sleeping and glared. The nerve of that guy, to sleep so peacefully when he was cheating on Nate and Natalie. What was the world coming to? Jason had been the most honest of all his friends and now he was so dishonest.

Nate was sleeping too and Shane felt terrible for him. Poor guy, would he able to handle this? He would act strong on the outside and act as if nothing happened at all but inside his heart would be breaking. Shane knew Nate very well and he was not looking forward to the fallout of this whole mess.

Shane threw his bed covers aside and picked up his phone and gazed at the incriminating photos thoughtfully. At least Mitchie wouldn't think he was raving mad now. He would just leave out the parts where he had jumped behind trees in order to hide. He would tell her everything else. Filled with a sense of purpose and a terrible need to go to the bathroom Shane made his way to the bathroom with his phone. He wasn't going to take any chances with it.

As soon as Shane left Jason and Nate jumped out of bed fully dressed. After making sure that Shane was safely inside the bathroom both of them raced outside and all the way to Caitlyn's cabin. Standing a safe distance away Nate called up Caitlyn.

Caitlyn was sleeping when the buzzing of her phone jolted her out of the bed and onto the hard painful floor. It was one very annoyed, sleepy Caitlyn Gellar who answered Nate's call.

"What?"

"Shane's up and we are ready and you're still sleeping?"

"I am up thanks to you. Be there in ten minutes."

"She's not a morning person" Nate felt compelled to say to Jason who nodded understandingly. They both watched as they saw Caitlyn make her way to the bathrooms. She was stalking and wildly gesturing her hair flying around.

Nate felt slightly guilty but the plan had to be carried out. Maybe he would make it up to her later on. Yeah…he would make it up to her later on.

Caitlyn grumbled as she hastily collected her things and fled to the bathroom. She had been having the most amazing dream. In the dream she had been on stage about to receive a Grammy for her fabulous work and just as she had been about to get it Nate's call had come.

She quickly finished bathing and brushed her teeth, all in ten minutes. Yep she was fast. It came from having to share a bathroom with two other siblings who liked spending a little too much time on their appearance.

She came outside and there were Nate and Jason waiting for her, they looked slightly apprehensive. She dropped off her things at her cabin and made her way out again.

"Sorry. I am not a morning person" she said by way of apology smiling as she watched the worry on their faces dissolve into relief.

"It's okay" Nate said smiling as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Caitlyn smiled back returning the kiss.

Jason rolled his eyes and caught their hands and dragged them to Lola's cabin. Lola was already waiting outside for them and Barron was with her too.

Caitlyn motioned to the both of them and the whole group set out to the girls cabin where they ensconced themselves comfortably as usual in a bush, awaiting Shane's appearance. Over the next one hour they discussed everything under the sun, laughed and giggled and in general had fun.

Had anyone passed by, the person would have been suspicious as to what was happening but as no on did pass by the five of them were safe.

Barron who had been keeping a lookout alerted them to Shane's presence and immediately Caitlyn looked around at everyone. Everyone looked back at her solemnly as if they were leaving for an important mission until Lola burst into muffled giggles and everyone else followed suit.

Shane strode up to the girls cabin and knocked on the door. Mitchie came out rubbing her eyes and still in her pajamas. Shane told her everything at first it looked like Mitchie did not believe him but as he showed her the photos her eyes grew wide and her mouth dropped open. Mitchie went back in when she realized that she was still in her pajama and told Shane that she would get dressed and come out again. Shane sat down on the steps of the cabin and looked grimly at the photos.


Meanwhile Caitlyn nudged Nate and Lola out. Both of them stood near the bush out of Shane's sight grinning at each other. Caitlyn gave them the signal and they stepped out in full view of Shane and hugged. At that time Shane happened to look up from his phone and was stupefied by the sight of Nate and another girl hugging and doing god knows what.

He was so shocked that he just stared at them forgetting to even take a photo for evidence. This was really the last straw on the camel's back. Were both his friends going out with people and cheating on them? It was as if he did not know them anymore. First Jason who he thought had been the most honest person he had known. He found him cheating on Natalie with Nate's girlfriend. And now Nate. He had thought that Nate was the kind of guy who cherished relationships. The sight before his eyes told him differently.

This mayhem was getting too much for him to handle. He was going to confront them straight out. If not to question their honesty and their morals, at least for the piece of his mind which was reeling under all the drama he was getting to see.

Caitlyn, Jason and Barron watched Shane's face and collapsed on the ground laughing. The look on his face was priceless and would have been captured if they weren't laughing so badly. They caught their stomachs and tried to close their mouths but it was impossible to do both at the same. They stumbled out of the bushes laughing madly. Nate and Lola broke apart and started laughing too, watching their fellow partner's in crime.

Shane's jaw dropped even further if it were possible when he saw Caitlyn and Jason and another guy emerge out of the bushes laughing hysterically. What was going on? He needed to know now. He ran up to them.

"What the heck is happening?" he demanded.

Jason sobered up enough to tell him. "It was the look on your face when you saw Nate and Lola" before doubling over.

"I don't understand. Why should you be looking at my face when these two are here clandestinely hugging each other and doing stuff?" Shane said tersely. This was making as much sense as quantum physics or rocket science.

Nate quieted himself and prepared himself to make a long explanation.

"It was all a prank; you were ever so interested in what was going on between me and Caitlyn so we thought we should play a prank on you. Lola Jason and Barron just agreed to help us out with it" he said smiling at Shane.

"So all of this was just an act. Caitlyn and Jason aren't together and you and Lola aren't together either. And Jason isn't cheating on Natalie' Shane said thoughtfully

"No they aren't. And it was all just an act." Nate said.

"And I am not cheating on Natalie" Jason said too.

"What about you and Caitlyn? Are both of you together?" Shane asked Nate with a placid look on his face.

"Yes we are" Caitlyn spoke up blushing.

"So all my worrying was for nothing. This was just a prank" Shane said the expression on his face still calm.

"It was and we are sorry for causing you worry but it had to be done" Nate said.

"Well if you are sorry than you had better start running because I sure as hell am not going to be after kicking all your asses. I won't hit you Caitlyn but I will chase you" Shane said finally dropping the look and narrowing his eyes. Jason Nate and Caitlyn saw the warning signs and took to their heels while Shane set off in hot pursuit yelling things like 'I worried about you all", "what sort of warped idea of fun is this?".

"That was quite fun" Barron said

"I agree. I think I have a new pranking target" Lola said thoughtfully as she and Barron made their way to the cabin steps to sit down.

Mitchie came out only to see Shane chasing Nate, Caitlyn and Jason around a few trees and yelling things which seemed incomprehensible. She then saw Lola and Barron sitting on the steps peacefully looking at the sight before them with interest

"What's happening?" she asked helplessly.

Lola just patted the space next to her and Mitchie sat down as Lola and Barron began to tell her how it all began with Shane and her dressing in matching outfits to Nate and Caitlyn hiding in bushes and plotting deviously to confuse Shane.

To all this Mitchie could only say one thing. It was a mad mad world in which she lived.
