"Congrats to Gwen and Trent! You have won the romantic dinner for two at the Italian restaurant, La Primavera!" Chris announces over the loudspeakers. "Now, whoever else gets to the pond can go for a free swim! There are bikinis and trunks in the cabana. You're welcome!" Gwen and Trent look around at the pond. It was more like a lake, but whatever. There was a misting waterfall, lounge chairs for sun-bathing, a rope swing hanging from a tree next to the pond, small blooming lily pads floating on the edge of the water, and tiny little fish gliding through the crystal-clear water. The grass around the pond was a bright green. There were bunches of rainbow-colored flowers here and there, and a wooden cabana stood in the edge of the clearing.

Courtney and Duncan and Geoff and Bridgette burst into the clearing next. "Hey, guys!" Gwen calls to her friends. Courtney and Bridgette walk over to Gwen.

"Dude, you are so lucky," Geoff claps Trent on the back.

"Yeah, I know," Trent replies.

"Seriously, man, that dress was hot. You are going to die when you see Gwen in that," Duncan tells Trent. Trent smiles and watches Gwen and her friends walk in the cabana.

"This cabana is so cool!" Bridgette exclaims. There were wooden benches, fur rugs, seashell decorations, and neat little changing rooms.

"Yeah, seriously," Gwen says. The girls walk over to the changing room that has their name written on the door. They hear the guys walk in, change, and walk out.

"How can boys change so quickly?" Courtney exclaims to the girls who are still in their changing rooms.

"I have no idea," Gwen says, throwing open the changing room door. The girls crowd together and complement each other's bikinis. Bridgette is wearing a turquoise-blue string bikini that goes with her eyes and white chunky bracelets. Courtney is wearing a white string bikini that makes her skin look even tanner with a white choker. Gwen is wearing a black string bikini that matches her smokey gray eyes with a black ankle bracelet. Each girl also had matching flip-flops. They walk out of the cabana and their boyfriends immediately start whooping and whistling at them.

"Pig!" Courtney yells at Duncan, while Gwen and Bridgette just blush and smile.

About half an hour into swimming, Izzy and Owen, Beth and Cody, and Katie and Noah appear too.

After Gwen jumps off the rope swing into the water, Duncan convinces Courtney to give it a try. She grabs the rope, and hops from foot to foot, thinking about jumping in. "Jump!" Gwen calls.

"I can't!" Courtney yells back. This is just like my favorite movie, The Notebook, when Allie doesn't want to jump in the water, Courtney thinks, I forced Duncan to watch it with me last summer after TDI. "Jump!" Bridgette yells. Courtney looks at the water and sticks a toe it. She gets goosebumps. Chilly, she thinks.

"Get in the water!" Duncan yells. Courtney shakes her head. "Get in the water!!" Then his voice get's softer, "I'm sorry, baby, just get in the water." Courtney smiles and thinks, Yep, he definitely remembers The Notebook. That was one of the exact lines that Noah said. So Courtney runs and swings on the rope and jumps through the air. She screams and braces herself for the cold water. Splash!

It's actually not that cold, Courtney thinks as she swims over to Gwen, who's sitting on a floating log. Courtney pulls herself up as Gwen says, "I recognized that line from The Notebook. So Duncan does have a soft side." Gwen smiles.

"Yeah, sometimes he just doesn't like to show it. And then other times he's just plain annoying. So, how's it with you and Trent?" Courtney asks, kicking her feet in the water.

"Great! Trent is so sweet. He actually threw pebbles at my window last night, and when I leaned out the window, he had his guitar and he sang me a song he wrote for me," Gwen says, sighing happily.

"Aww," Courtney agreed. Duncan hasn't really ever done anything that sweet, she thought.

"Princess!" Duncan called, "Are you and Gwen up for a chicken fight? Trent here just told me that he could beat us and I said no way!" Duncan smirks. Courtney looks at Gwen, who shrugs.

"Are we the only ones playing?" Gwen asks.

Duncan starts to list people on his fingers, "Izzy and Owen are making out in the bushes, Cody can't stand in this deep of water, and Noah doesn't want to get wet. Oh, and Geoff and Bridgette are sitting in that tree, kissing. So, yeah, we're the only ones playing." The girls hop off the log and wade over to their boyfriends.

"Let's do this," Trent says, smiling, once the girls are on the boys' necks. Duncan lunges for Trent, and they battle it out below while above, the girls are giggling madly and swatting at each other.

"Rah, rah," Noah says monotonously from the shore, reading a book. Katie is tanning in a lounge chair next to him.

With a hard shove from Trent, Duncan goes off balance and Courtney wavers. He grabs Courtney's upper thighs to keep her on, and she swats at his hands. "Duncan!" He regains his balance and runs back at Trent.

"Want to just call it a tie?" Gwen whispers to Courtney, as the guys bump and shove each other.

"Yeah," Courtney whispers back. They hold up three fingers, two fingers, then at one finger, they hold their noses and fall backwards into the water at the same time.

"I won!" Trent and Duncan yell simultaneously. They look backwards at their girlfriends, who are laughing.

Then ripples start to wiggle through the water, and they grow and grow as a roar becomes audible. Soon the roar becomes deafening, and Duncan and Trent put their arms around their girlfriends.

"What is that?" Bridgette screams from the tree. The wind blows her and Geoff out of the tree into the water. Then the cause shows itself. Chris, in a helicopter, with a megaphone.

"Time for your next challenge!" Chris yells, and Chef throws a rope ladder down, and it quickly unfurls until it hit's the water.
