Yeah..sorry I've been gone for so long. Family thing in Texas (oy!) and I was gone for a flippin week. Also, I've read my reviews and came up with a way to make this story that much more dramatic. Enjoy and please, for the love of god, review!

"The first marshmallow goes tooooo…..Effie." "BOOYA!" She cried, jumping up and snatching her token of safety from the host. He turned his gaze back to the other campers, and looked from one to the other. "…..Chance." Chance sighed in relief, then stood to get his marshmallow. They went to stand over to the side, where Jamie and the other Beavers were watching the event, apparently too bored to do anything else. Chris looked from each of the three remaining campers to the others, then picked up the next sugary morsel of safety. "Victoria." She caught it, a smug look on her face, while the others looked on in surprise.

Jamie looked over at Shane and said conversationally, "Hmm. You'd think she'd get voted off for being a bi-"He was interrupted when Victoria apparently overheard him and smacked him over the head. "OW!" He exclaimed, rubbing his scalp and glaring at the girl. She just grinned sweetly and sashayed away. He looked back at the campfire pit, grumbling, while Shane was desperately trying to hold in his laughter.

The last two campers sat on their stumps, vividly contrasting one another. Cameron sat upright, his arms crossed and a superior smirk on his face, while Sam was hunched over his knees, balling his hands into fists, then reopening them. Chris looked from one to the other. His expression unreadable. He set them both with a steely glare, then announced, "And the last marshmallow goes tooooo……..

…BOTH OF YOU!" The host announced, laughing as he threw Cameron the marshmallow and Sam one he had pulled from behind his back. Cameron looked only slightly peeved, while Sam looked at his marshmallow as if it were the Holy Grail. "WHAT THE HELL!? WHY DO THEY BOTH GET TO STAY!!??" Victoria shrieked. Chris looked at her, obviously scared, then answered in a shaky voice. "T-There was a tie in the votes. We couldn't vote them off." She shrieked in indignation, then stalked off. "Jeez, take a pill." The host muttered to Chef, who nodded. "I HEARD THAT!!!" Chris visibly paled, as if he'd seen a ghost.

The other campers rolled their eyes, while Jamie, Cameron, and Shane all bet cash on whether or not Victoria would kill the host. As every one was walking back to their cabins, Chef sidled up to Cameron and whispered to him. " I'm putting in a twenty that she kills him by tomorrow."

Later that evening, everyone was asleep, except for Kayla. She couldn't sleep, so she slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Nicki and Naomi. She slipped a jacket on over her spaghetti top and laced on her spare sneakers. She walked out of the cabin and, seeing a path winding through the woods, decided to take it. She walked on through the trees, their overhanging branches forming a canopy of pine needles, leaving the air sharp with their scent. As she walked slowly beneath the trees, crunching leaves underfoot, she looked back on the contest. She was glad she was finally somewhere where she could have a fun summer, but it was better then she realized. Most of the others were pretty nice, well, except for Cameron and Victoria. That Jamie was different, too. He always seemed distant, as if he was afraid to get close. At least that was how it looked to her.

She arrived in a clearing and realized that, while she was thinking, she had wandered up to the top of the cliff the campers had jumped off of the previous season. The moon was full and it was a cloudless night, so the panoramic view from the top was amazing. The full moon shone down on the gently moving water of the lake, making a line of light on its surface. The trees swayed slightly in a gentle breeze, which blew stronger up there on the cliff top. All in all, it was a wonderful place to sit and enjoy nature. She found a place of soft grass that wouldn't have dew water that would seep into her pink sleep thermals, which would ruin the word 'princess' written in glitter on the butt. She sat there for a minute, enveloped in the silence of the isolated location. At least, she thought it was isolated.

"Nice night for a walk, isn't it?" A voice asked from behind her. She jumped, surprised that anyone was nearby, then whirled to search for the source of the question. She saw the answer almost immediately, when she finally found who had spoken. Jamie was perched on a branch about ten feet off the ground, his back against the trunk while one leg hung lazily over the side, swinging gently. He had apparently been sitting there for a while, since the pine needles around him were stagnant, not ruffled as if he'd just gotten there. "Can't sleep, huh?" He asked. She was surprised to find him there, to say the least, and finally collected herself enough to speak. "What are you doing here?" She asked. He shrugged and, when he did, she noticed what he was wearing for the first time. He was wearing what she assumed was his sleep outfit, which consisted of nothing but a pair of cobalt blue sweat pants. He slid down off the tree, landing in a crouch, then answered her as he straightened.

"I like being around nature. It really is nice out here." He walked over to stand beside her, and she started blushing as she thought about the current situation. Here she was, in her sleep wear, talking to a half-naked boy all alone in the woods in the middle of the night. He plopped down beside here, looking out over the lake. "Aren't you cold?" She asked incredulously. It had to be a least fifty degrees out, and the wind certainly didn't help. He glanced over at her, confused, and responded. "No, it takes a lot colder then this to bother me." She nodded absentmindedly. He looked uneasy, rubbing his bare arm, then asked.

" Sooo…where are you from?" Relieved that the awkward silence was over, she told him she was from Toronto, Ontario. "Really?" He asked. "I'm from Quebec City." They talked like this for a while,( imagine when Gwen and Trent were talking in the Awake-A-Thon.) After they had been talking for a while, Kayla glanced down at the watch around his wrist, and saw they had been talking for about two hours. She jumped up, turning to Jamie, who was surprised by her sudden movement. "Oh, man. It's almost one in the morning! I have to get back to rest up for tomorrow's challenge!" She rushed off, shouting "Bye, Jamie. It was nice talking to you!" over her shoulder. He watched her rush off until she vanished into the trees. "I liked talking to you, too." He said under his breath, a grin tugging at his lips.

Whoo! Well, there you have it. I had to work in a bit of one of the definite future couples, so there you go. I'm sorry I didn't get rid of anyone, but I like these charecters too much. I don't think Samgot enough focus( all the charecters will at some point) and we need Cameron to be this storie's Heather. So, please review and tell me if you loved/hated it! :D
