AN: Thanks to those who are still following this story. This chapter was fun for me to write! When I was in college the ladies in our dorm did some pretty great pranks! The only one I ever helped with is the one Camille will help Moose with in the story. Enjoy! Gold stars to anyone who understands the meaning of the title of this chapter!

Camille POV

Believe it or not, I did survive Thanksgiving weekend. Weeks passed and eventually months. Moose and I fell into a nice comfortable routine of balancing time for school, friends, and each other. I could not have imagined my freshman year going any better. We both finished our first semester with excellent grades and even found time to battle one more time with the Pirates. I spent much of the semester break hanging out with Tyler and Nora, though I did find some time to connect with Moose. His family takes a trip every year for Christmas and this year his parents decided on California. Moose was able to convince them to wait until after New Year's Day to leave so he could celebrate the holidays with his friends. Let's be honest though, he stayed for me!

While Moose enjoyed life on the Pacific side, I continued to help Nora with wedding plans. Who knew there were so many things to do for just one day? Frankly, a courthouse wedding is looking pretty appealing to me right now. The day I went with Nora and her mom to try on wedding dresses was the longest day of my life but also a pretty spectacular day. It was during that trip to the store (Nora had visited it several times) that she found 'the one.' I have to admit I channeled my inner girl and bawled like a baby with her mom.

By the time Moose came back from California, we had about a week and a half before we needed to head back to campus for spring semester. We spent the rest of break hanging out with friends from High School and we got some quality Coose time in, as the Pirates would say. As happy as I was during this time, something kept popping into my head. I was waiting for the ball to drop. Usually when things were going great in my life that only meant the hard times were around the corner. In High School I got through those with the support of my brother Tyler and my best friend Moose. Would it be any different now?

Moose POV

Cam and I are a few weeks into our spring classes and I can feel a change. I could tell something has been bothering her for a while but every time I ask she changes the subject. This brings me to my latest plan 'Operation Cheer Cam up.' It took some time to convince the guys on this one, but it's a go!

Camille POV

Moose had been trying to convince me for the past few minutes to meet him at his dorm room. Normally I would have been okay with that but it was 11:00pm on a Monday night and I was just getting ready for bed.

"Moose, I really don't want to go out right now. I'm tired and I have class tomorrow morning. What is so important?"

"Cam, just please come out. I need your help with something and it can't wait until tomorrow."

I could hear commotion in the background and was becoming even more skeptical of this by the minute.

"Moose, please tell me you aren't doing anything illegal. I would hate to have to kill you this early in our relationship."

He laughed. "No Chameleon, but I promise you will like what I have to show you. Come on, pleeeeeeeease."

I let out a sigh. I don't know why I even remotely listen to him. I should have hung up at this point and gone to bed, but I was actually starting to get curious.

"Alright-"

"YES!" Moose screamed.

"I'm on my way, but Moose?"

"Yeah Cam?"

"This better be good or I will kill you."

He chuckled. "I know. See you soon!"

I hung up the phone and started to get dressed. I decided to leave my flannel pants on and just change my top. After finding a sweater, I grabbed my keys and headed out the door. Moose's dorm wasn't far from mine and only took about five minutes to get there. Moose was downstairs waiting to let me in.

As soon as we got on his floor I was amazed at how quiet it was. Usually his floor at any given time of the day sounded and looked like a subway station. People coming and going all the time and a million conversations going on at once. All the doors were closed, not a person in sight, and not a single hum of activity.

I looked at Moose. "Either you boys finally learned what sleep means or they have all been knocked out with some chemical nerve gas. I personally think the latter would be awesome, though neither seems plausible."

Moose, with a big smile, pointed to his room and said "Let me show you what's going on Cam."

I held up my hands to motion him to stop. "Hold up Moose. I feel like we are on the set of a bad horror movie. You aren't going to feed me to some alien life form are you? Or kidnap me and hold me for ransom? Or -"

"What? I promise you will get a kick out of this. Just come in."

I gave him my 'I don't know what you're up to, but it's not good look' as I stepped into his room. What I saw next was truly nothing I could have imagined.

Moose POV

Cam just stood in the doorway looking at the floor, at the bags, at the guys, and then back to me. She had started to open her mouth to say something, but couldn't find the words apparently. I gently put a hand on her back to get her to step into the room further.

All activity had stopped and the guys were trying to figure out what her reaction meant. I knew her brain was in overdrive trying to figure it out so I decided to speed things along with an explanation.

"Cam, you know how I told you about my dorm's pranks. Last semester some of the guys on the floor below put seran wrap over all of our toilets. Then the next week we snuck down late at night to turn all of their furniture upside down."

"Yeah" she nodded.

"Well, I told you that last week the floor above us decided to get in on this prank war. We found out it was them that barricaded our doors shut with furniture and taped up our doorframes with caution tape. So, it's on!"

"Okay, but I'm still not sure what your room looking like a rat's nest has anything to do with this."

The guys began to laugh. I turned to look around my room. It did resemble a rat's nest, but not for long!

"Here's the deal" I began. "For the past week we have been collecting newspaper and any paper we could get our hands on. Then during the day everyone has taken turns shredding it. We have enough shredded newspaper to cover the entire upstairs floor. They are going to be swimming in it!"

Camille POV

I couldn't decide who was crazier. The guys for wasting their time shredding all that newspaper, or me for thinking this was the best prank ever! I now knew why Moose wanted me in on this; it had potential to bring out the kid in anyone. I certainly had been feeling 'off' lately. This prank could be my ticket for letting loose. Before I tell them that, time to have some fun…

"I can't believe you guys. This is incredibly irresponsible, stupid, and dangerous. Did you even think of the fire hazard? No, of course not! Moose, I can't believe you would do something like this!" I had started to raise my voice and stare at each of the guys as I delivered my rant.

"So what if they caused you to stumble on your way out of your rooms? Aren't you all big and strong? Can't you be the better men and stop these insane pranks. You do this and I will have to report you!"

Yup, just as I suspected. They all began to panic and look to Moose. Apparently since I was his girlfriend it was his job to fix this and fix it quick.

Let the groveling begin. "Cam, I thought you would find this hilarious. No one will get hurt. It's harmless. We have to get them back and then we won't do anymore pranks."

At his last statement I raised an eyebrow to show I didn't believe it. He saw my challenge and added "okay, well at least not for a while."

The guys started talking to each other and I could hear grumbling about why I was even let in on this secret.

"Guys, guys!"

Everyone turned to look at me. "I have two words for you. It's. On."

Moose practically lunged for me, picked me up, and twirled me around. Yes, ladies. I was twirled. After the excitement died down we got down to business, how to sneak it all upstairs. After all, without proper delivery, this prank would flop.

Moose POV

It was around midnight when all the guys headed back to their rooms. We had agreed to deliver the shreds around three a.m. Hopefully, the guys upstairs were heavy sleepers.

Cam wanted to see it through which brings us to the present. While Cam slept in my bed, I took the futon which was as hard as a rock. It had been only about a half hour since we decided to lie down and get some sleep. I really wanted to talk to Cam and I had a feeling she was as wide awake as me.

"Cam, you awake?" I asked in a whisper, hoping not to wake my roommate up.

No answer.

"Cam."

I heard a "hmm?"

"Are you awake?" I asked again.

"No, are you?"

I smirked. "Can I ask you a question?"

"You just did, "she quickly shot back.

"Right, well I have a serious question for you."

I heard the covers rustle as she turned onto her side. Even though we couldn't see each other in the pitch dark room, we turned towards each other.

"Alright, I can't promise I will have a serious answer for you at-," she moved to look at the clock "1:14 a.m. but ask away."

"Did I do something wrong? You have been acting a little distant lately and I didn't know if I screwed something up."

I could hear her sit up. "Oh Moose, no, you didn't do anything wrong. If anything, you've done everything right."

Now I sat up. "I know you Cam. Something has been bothering you. Can you talk to me? What is it then?"

"I'm not sure I can explain it myself Moose. I feel like my life is perfect right now. I love NYU. I have amazing friends. My brother is getting married soon. You and I are dating. Life is great. A little too great. I don't know, I just feel like something bad is coming. I know it sounds crazy."

"First of all Cam, you know I don't think you're crazy. I think the best thing to do is just enjoy what you have, what we have. Don't think too far into the future or you'll miss what's in front of you now."

"Wow, listen to you Dr. Phil. Maybe I should have asked for your advice weeks ago."

"Cam, puuh-lease. Does Dr. Phil have curls like I do?"

I heard her start to giggle and then cover her mouth. I think she just remembered my roommate was sleeping on the other side of the room.

Camille POV

Moose was right. I need to just live in the moment.

"Moose, thanks."

"You're welcome my Chameleon. Now, get some sleep. I'll wake you up when it's time."

I smiled thinking of what was to come soon. The guys upstairs had no idea what they would walk into the next morning. It's SO on!
