Later that day, Anthony called Kalel to apologize.
Kalel: Hello?
Anthony: Hey, Kalel. Sorry about earlier today. I didn't realize you were so upset.
Kalel: Anthony... Before we left I even texted you saying "I'm not sure if I still wanna go. I'm in a pretty bad mood." The entire walk to the coffee shop I didn't say a word. Then you said, "What's wrong, babe?" and I started the story.
Anthony: Well, I, um... My mind was a little occupied. Ian and I were talking about Food Battle 2013 and... Um...
Kalel: See, thats the thing. Lately you honestly haven't been paying much attention to me. Smosh this, Smosh that...
Anthony: If you're saying that I'm being a bad boyfriend then I'll try-
Kalel: Anthony, I wanna break up.
Anthony: Wh- What? No, Kalel, I just-
Kalel: Anth, please. I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Both the boys were now single, and decided that they could now put all of their attention towards making Smosh the best it could be. They were again discussing Food Battle 2013 when Anthony got a text.
"So I was thinking, maybe we could do a montage of all the Food Battles before we start the-" Ian was interrupted by the sound of Anthony's phone.
"Sorry, I got a text. One sec." Anthony pulled out his phone.

Hey Anthony...
"Um... This conversation may take a while. Can we put planning on hold?" Anthony asked.
"Sure. Toddlers and Tiaras is on!" Ian responded excitedly. Anthony walked into his room before responding to the text.
3:29 - To: Melanie
So you're not AWOL anymore?
3:30 - Fr: Melanie
Can we not talk about this now? I just have one question.
3:31 - To: Melanie
Which is?
3:31 - Fr: Melanie
Has Ian talked about me at all?
3:32 - To: Melanie
Well after ignoring him for 5 months, no, he hasn't.
3:33 - Fr: Melanie
No need to remind me. BTW, I know you and Kalel broke up. Sorry to hear that.
3:35 - To: Melanie
Whatever.

After that, Melanie kept texting Anthony. In fact, they started having conversations again. They became friends again. Anthony was texting all the time now, and it caught Ian's attention.
"What's with this sudden burst of texting?" Ian asked Anthony one day.
"Well..." Anthony wondered how he would word this one. "I think I like this girl."
"Ooh la la!" Ian chuckled. "Name?"
"Oh um... Lie... Law.. Law... Ren. Lauren." Anthony stuttered.
"Uh... Okay. Well good luck with her." Ian smiled at Anthony to help smooth over the awkward situation. It didn't work, so he walked away.
Great, now I'm keeping secrets from my best friend! Anthony thought. That makes me a great person. But I'm actually really starting to like Mel- "Lauren." I guess I have to do what makes me happy.
