DISCLAIMER: nothing's changed. ever. and it never will.

POV: Stacie Greene

Today after we went ice-skating, Jess and I decided to hang out with Logan and James in 2J.

"It's so quiet in here," I mentoned to break the silence.

"Without Carlos, it usually is." James nodded.

"And with Kendall in Texas." Logan smiled. "How'd he get Chad's address?"

"He didn't get Chad's address." Jess smiled. "I made up an address. Destinee warned me and Stacie that he might try and get it out of one of us."

"Clever." James concentrated on us. He was most likely thinking 'how can two teenage girls be so devious?'

"You think we should call her? Just to see if she's alright?" Logan asked.

"Tomorrow," I insisted. "She and Carlos need time alone. They haven't had a real date."

"Unless Starbucks counts," Jess added.

"No. Kendall was there," Logan sighed. "What's with him?"

"The same thing with you and Melanie," I said.

Melanie is almost Destinee's clone. Their biggest differences are their voices and eye color. Their names help a little too…

"What?" Logan raised an eyebrow and shrugged.

"You're in love with Mel, and Kendall's in love with Destinee."

POV: Logan Mitchell

"11:30," I read aloud and looked around.

Jess had fallen asleep in James' arms and he slept, too.

"Wow." Stacie looked around. "Not it's really quiet."

"Yeah." I blew air through my closed lips, making that flubbery sound.

"I kinda wanna go back, you know, to 5H."

"Oh, yeah, I'll come with you."

"You just want to see Melanie."

"And I don't want you out there by yourself."

We tiptoed through the halls quickly and ran up the stairs.

"Could you be any louder?" Stacie whispered. "You stomp like an elephant."

"Sorry," I whispered back.

When we were in front of 5H, she opened the door slowly.

"I'm going to bed." She took off her coat. "I'm beat from ice-skating."

"Night." I waved.

I shuffled to Melanie's open door. "Knock knock." I stood in the doorway.

"Oh, hey, Logan." She sat on the window-sill, looking at the night sky.

"You okay?" I sat in a chair next to her bed. "You seem a little… distracted."

"I'm fine," she sighed. "I'm missing Destinee. A lot." She looked back at me, worried. "Do you think she'll be okay?"

"Oh yeah."

She got up and sat down on her bed.

"I'm sure Carlos will keep her out of trouble."

"Logan."

"Yeah?"

"Think about what you just said." She smiled brightly.

"Destinee will keep Carlos out of trouble," I corrected.

"Who will keep her out of trouble?"

"Mel, we both know Dest can take care of herself. She's the one that planned this trip, remember?" I sat next to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"You're right. Good night." She kissed my cheek.

"Yeah. Good night." With that, I left.

POV: Destinee Knight

"Ugh. I can't believe this!" I slammed my head in Chad's coffee table.

"Everything will be fine," Carlos reassured me. "So what if Kendall's in Dallas?"

"We could end up finding him."

"Would you just think positive?"

"Uh… no."

"Fair enough," he laughed.

I guess I looked silly pacing back and forth.

"Dest, if you pace too much, you might just fall through the floor."

I stopped and looked at him. "Ha ha, well excuse me for thinking!"

"You need to relax. Oh! I know! We should see Toy Story 3!"

"Haven't you seen that already?"

"Yeah… what's your point?"

"Good movie, huh?" Carlos finally started a conversation for the taxi ride to Target.

Why Target? Simple: Carlos wanted to see the toys. He is so a keeper.

"Look, it's Buzz!" He sounded like a little kid.

"Hey, it's Woody!" I picked up the cowboy doll. "I used to have one like this."

"Do you… want it?"

"I… I think I do." I smiled. "I lost my other one at a park."

"You lose a lot of things, don't you?"

I leaned against the aisle and he kissed my cheek.

I turned my head only to see what I had feared: Kendall in Dallas.

Out of anger, I flicked him off.

"I'll go pay for these."

"Yeah, you go do that. I'll have a little talk with Kendall."

I stormed over to my second cousin. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Oh, just buying stuff."

"You have a 5 second head start," I growled.

He bolted, took a bike, and sped off.

I just ran.

I didn't need to catch him. The security guard in front of my did that.

"Let's go!" I grabbed Carlos, after he paid, and ran.

POV: Carlos Garcia

"I can't believe you were gonna leave me there," Kendall nagged when we were in Chad's back yard.

"Be happy we didn't," Dest shot back.

"Um, Dest?" I cut in. "We're supposed to go horseback riding. Maybe Kendall could come too."

"I… I guess it couldn't hurt," she admitted. "But remember one tiny little thing."

She swore at him, and man, does that girl have a colorful vocabulary.

POV: Destinee Knight

"Okay." Carlos put his helmet on my head.

"She doesn't need a helmet." Kendall took it off my head and handed it back to him. "She's a pro."

"So," Kendall rode his horse next to mine.

"Get away from me." I continued to look straight ahead. "Good girl," I said, stroking my horse's ears.

"C'mon." He stopped in front of me. "Maybe we can-"

My horse went crazy. It whinnied psychotically and raised its front hooves in the air.

"Whoa, girl, whoa." I tried to calm her down.

She knocked me off that very second.

I slid off the saddle, hit my head on the fence behind me and just laid there in pain for a few seconds.

POV: Kendall Knight

"Destinee!" Carlos jumped off his horse and ran to her.

He looked horrified to see her nearly lifeless.

He picked her up under her back and knees. "I told you she needed the helmet!" he shouted at me.

"It's not my fault her horse got scared!" I got off my horse to try and calm Destinee's horse down.

Bad move. I got hit square in the face and fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" The ranch owner's daughter came out of the barn. "Kendall!" She ran to my side and managed to calm the horse down.

"K… Kimmy?" I looked up.

"Yes. I had to come back here."

"Are, are you friends with Destinee?"

She helped me up. Blood rushed down my left cheek.

"Yes, I am." She took out her phone and called for help.

"C… Carlos?" Destinee mumbled. "W… Why does my head hurt?"

"You fell off your horse. Kimmy is calling for help right now. You'll be fine."

"I'm having a hard time believing you."

"Then trust me," he begged her.

"Fine. I trust you."

"Damn." I pressed a hand to my cheek. "It hurts."

"It's not supposed to feel good." Carlos came closed, still holding Destinee.

"C'mon, girl." Kimmy nudged the horse.

She didn't seem to like that.

How did I know?

The horse stood on its hind legs and got me with a hoof. It hit me right in the temple.

"Kendall!" Destinee shouted before everything went black.
