TA-DA! I am so happy I wrote the first three chapters before posting the first – that way I don't have to worry so much about updating and you don't have to wait for my laziness =D. I am amazing at how many reviews I go so far, I expected three/four at the most! I love all you guys! So here we go, chapter two!

Chapter Two:

Operation Neggy

Mitchie seems to think this 'set-Nate-up-with-Peggy-and-hope-they-get-married-and-have-kids' plan is actually going to work. I think she's nuts. Peggy and Nate have only ever had one conversation before. Would you agree to go out with someone you've hardly spoken to before? Especially by Mitchie. Not that Mitchie is a murderer or anything (I asked her). Who knows, maybe it'll be successful. Maybe Nate goes for the girls who steal pens from innocent people (a.k.a Mitchie and me).

However, Mitchie is unsure (even in her 'they are so perfect for each other' attitude) about setting them up as she asked me to help her out. I said no at first, but then she bribed me by saying she'd buy me that new mixing programme. So now I'm sitting here at the lake with Nate.

It's part of the plan. I'm meant to casually bring up Peggy in the conversation and listen to what he thinks of her. In a way I sort of want him to say he hates her. Only because then Mitchie would have to go with one of my suggestions (the cat, the girl who delivers the newspapers down my street or Mitchie's smoker cousin Jade) and I can brag. Then again, if Nate said he didn't like Peggy then Ella is probably next on Mitchie's list.

Why does she want to set Nate up so badly with someone? Is it because she's so incredibly happy with Shane (though she keeps pointing out that he hasn't asked her to be his girlfriend yet) that she feels the need to turn into Cupid? I bet when Shane does ask her to be his girlfriend she'll start planning their wedding or something equally as creepy.

Anyway – back to operation Neggy (I combined their names – I'm such a genius). That's what I call our plan. Although the name took some getting used to (it sounded like eggy, and I hate eggs), I finally decided that it sounded better then Pate (another combination of Nate and Peggy). Putting names together is extremely fun to do. Take Mitchie and Shane for example. If you put their names together it would be Mhane (which I have no idea to pronounce) or Smitchie. I think both are stupid. Who would call a pairing Smitchie? Probably some idiot with nothing to do – wait … did I just call myself an idiot?

Anyway (I seem to be saying that a lot) so far I have achieved nothing to help operation Neggy. However I have found out (from playing would you rather) that Nate would rather lick peanut butter of a hobo's foot then be trapped in a lion's cage.

"Do you think McDonalds is going to achieve world domination?" I asked Nate, turning to look at him curiously. Okay, so it wasn't exactly about Peggy, but I knew someone would agree with me and Nate seemed like the next likely option after Jason (who I hadn't got round to asking yet).

Nate looked at me (totally serious, I might add) and nodded. "Yeah, probably."

In your face Mitchie! I knew someone would believe me! Now Nate and I can plan to shut down McDonalds everywhere and-

Wait, why is Nate laughing at me?

"You need to stop drinking caffeine, Cait."

Okay, this isn't funny. Are Mitchie and Nate connected by brainwave or something?

I glared at him, crossed my arms and stared straight forwards. I call this (or rather, Mitchie calls this) my 'drama queen attitude'.

"Oh come on Cait, you have to admit, that's pretty far fetched, even for you."

"Even for me? What's that supposed to mean?"

Silence.

Stupid Nate. He doesn't deserve to be set up with anyone. But I did promise Mitchie and that new mixing programme looks awesome so…

"Hey, what do you think of Peggy?"

He looked at me suspiciously – probably because I was changing the conversation around and normally I stayed grumpy with him for much longer then a minute.

"She's a great singer and guitarist, why?"

"No, I mean personality wise." I said, rolling my eyes at him.

"I've only talked to her once!"

"That's enough to get an assumption of someone!"

"What's with all the questioning? Are you jealous or something?"

Before I could stop myself I fell backwards, laughing so much it hurt.

Nate pouted beside me.

"I'm not that bad."

"No, it's not that … it's just … me and you …" I spluttered through my laughter, tears spilling down my cheeks.

"Well anyway, regardless of your jealousy, I think Peggy is a nice girl." Nate finished, glaring at me from my position (rolling on the grass laughing so much it felt like my ribs were going to crack).

"Good for you." I spluttered, sitting up and wiping the tears away from my eyes.

There was more silence while I calmed myself down and Nate grumbled to himself.

"So what else do you like about her?" I prodded him, knowing Mitchie wanted answers and a simple 'he thinks she's nice' wouldn't do. Besides, I don't have enough money for the mixing programme (I blew all $15 on coffee) so Mitchie is my last hope.

"She can sing almost as well as Mitch. And she doesn't seem insane, which is more then I can say for you."

"I resent that."

So, what do you guys think? Getting better or worse? And did you notice the Zoey 101 reference?
