Chapter 11: The Caldera
After Mitchie released everything, she was again back with Shane. Shane was still laughing as they walked off.
"Stop it." Mitchie told him. She was starting to get embarrassed.
"Okay. Okay. Sorry." Shane tried but he really can't.
Mitchie stopped and pouted.
Shane calmed himself down and took a deep breath. "Okay. I'm done laughing." He smiled mischievously.
Mitchie glared at him but resumed walking with him. After a few minutes of walking Mitchie's stomach got painful again. Then she sat on the street as she held on her stomach.
"Mitch, are you okay?"
"NO!" Mitchie called. Then Shane took her on his shoulders holding her legs and her face at his back. "Shane!" She shouted. "What are you doing?"
"When people here gets bad stomach, they are being carried this way."
"Put me down! I am heavy!"
"What are you talking about? You are light as feather Mitch!"
Then after a few minutes of walking, Mitchie dozed off to sleep. But she was still continuing on farting and beside Shane's face! (A/N: I love this part)
While walking, Shane met up a seller of jewelry whom he we was friends with. "Is that your girlfriend?" the guy asked in Greek.
"No. But she wants to be." Shane lied. Then smiled to himself as he continued to walk off.
Then he reached the place he wanted Mitchie to see next. He put her down on a bed sheet that he borrowed to a nearby house. "Mitch, wake up, we're here. It's our final stop." Shane whispered to her.
Mitchie woke up and saw Shane. "Where are we?"
"We're at the caldera." Shane told her. Then he pointed to a small volcano at the middle of the sea.
"It's beautiful." Mitchie said. Mitchie wasn't really feeling well but she was trying to sound fine.
Shane felt this so he got the second sheet he borrowed and wrapped it around Mitchie. And he too wrapped himself around her, for body heat. Then as the sun was setting before them, they watched it in the cozy position they were in. People were also around there, the site of the caldera was one of the most famous sites at Santorini.
"Thank you for this day Shane." Mitchie smiled at him.
"Nah. It's nothing." Shane smiled at her.
"So what's up with this caldera, why are people swarming around it?" Mitchie asked.
"Well, aside from it being the best scene here in Santorini, that is also the remembrance of one of the greatest volcanic eruption of all time which created Santorini."
"I see." Mitchie then smiled at him and looked again at the wonderful sight of the caldera and of the setting sun.

The day was over for Mitchie and Shane. So they went back to the house peacefully and without a single argument.
"Well, well, well… Look who's back!" Caitlyn called to the two as they approached the house. "Mitch, where were you? Your brother was calling all day!"
"What?" Mitchie called. "I was out with Shane and my celphone was dead battery. Oh gosh, my brother would kill me! I'll just charge my phone and call him." Then she last smiled at Shane and entered the house.
Caitlyn was looking at Shane suspiciously. "You my friend, be careful or I'll kill you if you hurt my best friend!" she told him.
"Hey, I wasn't planning on to!" Shane said.
Caitlyn smiled and followed after Mitchie and so did Shane.

That night. The four housemates ate splendidly for the first time ate one dining table.
"OH! I never thought this day would come!" Caitlyn told her friends.
"What Cait?" Mitchie asked.
"This. The four of us eating on one table peacefully. Ever since we got here, all you two do is bicker!"
They all laughed and just shrugged the topic off to forget all the awkwardness and arguments they had. The four laughed their heads off to every joke that the guys would crack and so did the girls. Then Mitchie's cellphone rang.
"Hey, it's my brother. We haven't talk so I'll just answer this." Mitchie excused herself to talk to her big brother, Jason.
"Hey." Mitchie called.
"Hey Mitch. How's Greece?" Jason asked.
"It's fun." Mitchie answered with all smiles remembering her day with Shane.
"I can feel a smile on your face right now. That's good. Where were you later this day?"
"I was with a friend. He toured me around Santorini." Mitchie explained.
"He? You were with a guy? Where's Caitlyn?"
"Jase, easy, he's just a friend. Caitlyn was off with her 'I think soon-to-be boyfriend'" Mitchie told her big brother.
"Okay. I think I don't have to worry about you. So continue to have fun okay? And no work. Okay?"
"Yes Big Brother." Mitchie replied and hung up the phone. Then she returned to her friends and finished their dinner.
