After all the contestants had changed into their costumes for Harold's party they all stood waiting, in front of his house. Courtney rang the doorbell for the third time. The contestants were starting to get impatient and some were also getting cold. They collectively cursed Chris for making it cold and misty. "Harold!" Courtney shivered. "Hurry up! It's cold out here!"

Many of the contestants' moods had taken a turn for the worst after Pinkie had tricked them into working so hard to win when she had lied about the prize. She was being glared at by almost all of the contestants. The glares didn't quite have the effect the others were hoping for, as she actually found it amusing. Besides, nothing could bother her when her new boyfriend was standing next to her holding her hand.

Sadie was searching through the crowd of teenagers to find Ezekiel but the prairie boy didn't seem to be there. He was trying his best to hide from her.

Harold finally opened the door. He flinched when he saw Courtney standing on his doorstep. The contestants quickly shoved past Harold into his house to get out of the cold. In a minute, all the contestants were standing in his front hall. Inside the house, the lights were dimmed and there was mist. The visibility in the house was low. Harold squinted at the crowd of contestants to see their costumes. He started to scribble on his clipboard.

The Confessional: Why they wore what they wore.

Courtney: I can't believe Duncan made me wear this.

Duncan: (he smirks) Princess is dressed up as a princess!

________________________

Bridgette: I wore this costume because it reminds me of Geoff! (She starts to cry)

________________________

Eva: I had absolutely no idea what to wear! I ended up wearing what I always wear on Halloween.

"Before I announce the costume winners, we're going to play a game," Harold announced.

The contestants looked at him incredulously.

"I don't think anyone wants to play any more games," said Trent.

"Come on," pleaded Harold, "It's not like I could manage to fool any of you now that you've been fooled once already!"

"That's true," agreed Sadie.

"Yeah." Justin nodded.

The rest of the campers gradually warmed up to the idea of playing a game.

"Okay," Harold started to explain the game. "It's simple. The Throwers and the Goers will go into the maze in the house. The Throwers will try to find the Goers and bring them to their home base. The Goers will run away from the Throwers."

"Seems simple enough," DJ agreed.

"Throwers to the right and Goers to the left. Once you enter the maze, you can't leave until the game is over." Harold waited for the teams to finish following his instructions. He turned to the left and followed the Goers.

"Harold, this doesn't look much like a maze." Eva commented as she looked at the room she had entered.

The Goers had entered a large room with a dance floor and a stage. The lights were dimmed and multicolored strobe lights illuminated parts of the room. Dance music was playing and there were snacks scattered around the room in large baskets.

"We're not actually playing a game," Harold explained. "We're having a party. The Throwers are looking for you in a large maze. They can't mess up my party if they're not here. I was kind of worried that they wouldn't fall for it after Pinkie also tricked them." He shrugged. "But I guess not."

The Throwers were making a huddle.

"Now, there is no way I'm letting Harold party beat mine!" Gwen told the other Throwers. "So let's come up with a plan to ruin it together!"

"I'm with her on this one," agreed Leshawna.

"I've got a good idea on how to ruin this party," Jacob offered.

"Well, spit it out!" The Throwers looked at Jacob expectantly.

"Let's not do anything! If we don't do anything, the game won't be any fun. That will ruin this part of the party," Jacob explained.

"Good idea, Jake!" Lindsay smiled at Jacob in awe. "You're so smart!"

The rest of the Throwers ignored her. "Everyone likes Jacob's idea?" Leshawna asked them.

Everyone voiced their agreement except Pinkie and Cody, who were sitting on the floor making out.

While the Throwers were putting their so-called 'genius plan', most of the Goers were partying on the dance floor. Heather, Eva, Duncan, Justin, and DJ were having a small dance contest. Eva was a surprisingly good dancer even though she still claimed that "she didn't dance." However nobody was even close to beating Justin's slick moves.

Not everyone was having such a good time. Ezekiel had been hiding from Sadie since they got there. Sadie had been searching for him but Ezekiel was especially good at hiding and running after his time at the Playa de Losers.

"I can't believe she found out!" Ezekiel thought, shaking his head at the memory. "I was happy just being friends with her, eh!"

Justin spied his friend hiding behind the drinks table. "Zeke!" Justin waved at him. "Come dance with us!"

Sadie finally saw where Ezekiel was hiding and sprinted for him before he could run off.

"Would you dance with me?" she asked.

Ezekiel stuttered as she dragged him to the dance floor. When they got there, the pop song that was on ended and a slow song came on. Sadie took his hand. "Put your other hand on my waist," she whispered into his ear. He rushed to follow her instructions. The two started to dance.

"Um. I'm sorry, I'm not that good of a dancer." Ezekiel bit his lip nervously.

She giggled. "Don't worry, I'm a great dancer!"

"So," Ezekiel said quietly.

"So," Sadie replied. The two danced in silence for a little. "Were you serious about liking me?" Sadie continued.

Ezekiel lost his concentration and stepped on Sadie's foot. "Oh! I'm so sorry."

Sadie looked at him intensely. "Answer the question please."

"Yes," Ezekiel mumbled. Sadie's face broke into a huge smile. She cupped Ezekiel's face and kissed him. His eyes widened in shock and for a moment, he saw Duncan flash a thumbs up sign at him behind Courtney's back. Then, he decided to focus on kissing Sadie.

Harold stood on a small stage in the front of the room. "I have judged the costumes, and decided who will get the prize. The winner is…" Harold paused to build anticipation.

"Just tell us already!" Justin said. "You're starting to act like Chris."

Harold huffed and decided to announce the winners quickly.

"Duncan and Courtney for their Mario and Princess Peach costumes!"

Harold threw the two a crown. "I decided that I couldn't just let one of you win when your costumes were both so awesome. Sorry, but I only have one crown."

"It's fine, Harold." Courtney smiled at Duncan as he put the crown on her head.

"You're in my space!"

"I wouldn't be in your space if you didn't take up so much room."

"Are you insinuating that I'm fat?"

"If the shoe fits."

The two contestants with the sharpest tongues, Noah and Heather, were having a huge argument in the middle of the dance floor. Harold and DJ actually had to restrain Heather as she tried to lunge at Noah.

"Whoa, whoa, break it up!" Harold struggled to hold Heather down. "What are you so angry about?"

"He insulted my hair!" Heather screeched as she attempted to reach for Noah's throat.

Noah gave her a cool, judgmental stare. "Well, it does look like an animal crawled onto your head and died there."

Heather snarled at Noah as her anger took her beyond words. Harold sighed and checked his watch. "Time to go!" he announced. He left Heather to DJ and led the Goers out of the room. He opened the door to the maze on the other side and was surprised to see the Throwers team all in the first room of the maze. Both teams quickly left Harold's house, smiling happily.

The Confessional: We laugh at the clueless ones.

Harold: Those idiots had no clue that I tricked them!

________________________

Pinkie: Harold totally rigged that game. None of the others noticed, but I could hear music coming through the walls. I was a little too busy to tell them though. (She blushes and giggles.)

________________________

Jacob: My plan totally rocked! The Goers must have wandered the maze for the whole two hours! There is no way Harold's party is going to win.

________________________

Lindsay: It was kind of boring just sitting there doing nothing. I wish Tyler was here, so I could make out with him like Pippi and Corrie were.

Wow. I am really tired of planning parties. Gwens Pirate Party is next! *snicker* I had to come up with so many party themes........

I've come out with so many chapters in a few days! *hits kudos button* I'm really proud of myself.

Ummmm, well, I'm dedicating this chapter to the person who helped me with my writers block! Congrats, Dad! I couldn't have written this without you. Well, I'm going to work on the next chapter now...... Hopefully I'll be able to get some of Gwen's party written before I go home tonight. Yeah, I have a lot of free time in summer. I'm going to pack a few parties into the next chapter (maybe) because I don't think all the parties will have as many important events.

Oh! Also, I want to thank The Kobold Necromancer for all his wonderful work. *stares up at him in adoration* I hope to one day be as good of a writer as you! :)

And that's it for my author's note.

Bye!
