A/N: If I post a new story will you guys read it?

Chapter 26

"Well I must say, it sounds like you've had an interesting day. How's your ankle, Cammie?" Mr Solomon asked, once Bex finished her story.

"It's okay." I replied as it throbbed.

"And your wrist Bex?" He asked as we began to make our way back to Gallagher.

"It's doing alright Mr. S." Bex replied.

"Can we all agree not to go back to Roseville for a while?" Liz asked out of the blue.

We voiced our affirmatives. No one wanted to face the citizens after what happened today.

"Okay, but if we're not going back to town what are we going to do?" Macey asked.

"Zoo?" I suggested.

"Paint fight?" Macey said with a grin.

"Messy twister?" I added.

"All nighters?" Macey continued.

"Fancy camping?" I put in.

"Fancy photoshoot?" Macey laughed.

"Sounds fancy." Bex interjected.

"Very fancy." Macey and I said in unison before laughing.

"They all sound like a lot of fun." Liz said with a smile. "Can we add a spa day in there?"

"Absolutely!" Bex and I shouted.

"What are you supposed to do while you guys do all of this?" Jonas asked.

"A lot of it you can do with us." Macey pointed out.

"Except the spa day. We'll go rough camping then." Zach said jumping into the conversation.

"So what are we going to do first?" Grant asked.

"You're going to let Miss Morgan and Miss Baxter rest their injuries first." Solomon said firmly.

"Apparently we're going to have a lazy day first. We can plan more out with mom when we get back to Gallagher." Bex said patiently.

"I kinda want to do a photoshoot first." Macey commented.

"That'd be tons of fun. What would we wear though? We have those one dresses but they're back at the beach house." Liz asked.

"We could always go shopping again. Someplace better this time." Macey pointed out.

"Um...let's not." I interjected.

"How about we go when Cam's laid up?!" Bex asked excitedly.

"Um, no!" I objected.

"Yeah! That way she can't veto our purchases!" Macey agreed.

"No! This is a horrible idea." I yelled.

"This is a great idea!" Bex disagreed. "Mom can come too!"

"So what, am I supposed to hang out with the guys the whole day?" I asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, I'm sure they don't mind. It gets them out of shopping." Macey said, finally paying attention to me.

"Are you sure you don't want me there while you shop? What if you need me to try something on?" I bargained. I did not trust them to shop for me. Well, except Liz.

"I'm sure. I know what fits you and what doesn't." Macey brushed it off. "So I think shopping tomorrow sounds good. We'll talk to mom when we get back to make sure though."

"I can't believe you guys are doing this." Preston mumbled. Macey hit the back of his head.

I sighed. "I can, this isn't the first time they've done it. Lizzie, I'm trusting you to keep them from getting me anything too ridiculous." I told my sweet friend.

"Don't worry, you can count on me Cam." Liz said with a smile.

"So what are we going to do while the girls are gone?" I asked the guys.

"Don't worry, I've got a few ideas." Zach said with a wink.

"I will be watching you closely, Mr. Goode." Solomon informed him and we laughed at his pouty face the rest of the way to Gallagher.

As soon as we got to the school, we carried our bags up to our room. I say we, but I mean Macey, Liz, and Grant. Zach was carrying me and Grant refused to let Bex carry anything in case she made he wrist worse. When we reached our room we found a note on the door from mom asking us to meet her in her office. She must've figured out what happened.

"Come in." She called as we reached her door.

"Hi mom…" I sheepishly as we entered.

"Please take a seat." Uh-oh. Her headmistress voice. We were in a lot of trouble. Well, Zach was at least. "Would one of you care to explain the fight that occurred at the mall today?"

"Well it wasn't exactly a fight...per say." Bex said when no one else spoke.

"Is that so?" Mom asked.

"Well yeah, just the one punch was thrown. Not much of a fight." Grant added.

"Oh is that all? Would someone care to explain the punch that was thrown then?" She asked leaning against her desk slightly.

"It wasn't Zach's fault." I defended.

"Yeah, it was totally Josh's. He just straight up kissed Cam, Zach was just defending her." Preston added.

"Is Cammie no longer capable of defending herself?" Mom questioned.

"She totally is, but she's supposed to be a stuck up heiress. We were just sticking to the cover." Zach responded.

Mom sighed and put her head in her hands. We waited silently for the verdict.

"Alright, you eight are banned from the mall. Zach, I'm putting you on mansion arrest for the rest of the week, you're not to leave the grounds." She finally decided.

"Yes ma'am." Zach replied politely.

"The rest of you should go...do something. I need to talk to Cammie." Mom said decisively.

Zach lowered me from his back to the couch before following the others out of the room. Mom waited until the door had shut before taking off her figurative headmistress hat and becoming my mom and sitting by me on the couch.

"Cammie sweetie, are you alright?" She asked worried.

"I'm fine." I answered honestly.

"What happened?" She asked and I relayed the whole story. It was rather intense.

"I'm so sorry, Honey." She said as soon as I finished.

"It's okay. I'm just really glad Zach was there." I told her honestly.

"So I am...you knocking Josh unconscious with one hit would've been harder to explain." Mom joked.

"The girls want to go shopping again tomorrow. Somewhere better." I told her as I leaned back into the couch.

"Is that so? What for?" She asked.

"We want to do a fancy photoshoot. I'm not allowed to be on my ankle though so they plan on ditching me and buying a bunch of stuff for me. I'm supposed to stay with the guys." I informed her.

"I suppose they want me to go with them." She stated as we she leaned back in the couch.

"Yep." I agreed.

"Is this okay with you?" She asked hopefully.

"Of course. It'd sounds nice to spend a day around the mansion." Total lie. She really wanted to go though, I've never been as big of a shopper as my mom has. "Besides, Liz said she would veto anything I wouldn't wear."

She smiled. "Then it looks like the girls and I have some planning to do."

"Indeed you do." I grinned at her. "Let's go find them."

We found them in the our room, organizing our new purchases. The boys were lounging on our beds, tossing a shoe over the girls heads. As soon as mom and I entered, Zach jumped up and helped me to my bed before resuming the game with his friends.

"So girls I hear we're going shopping." Mom said to Macey.

"Indeed we are. If that's okay with you." Macey added hurriedly.

"Absolutely. We'll have to get an early start if we want to go somewhere good." Mom told them.

"That sounds great. Where did you have in mind?" Bex added.

They continued their conversation on shopping plans while the guys threw the shoe. Eventually I got bored and intercepted the shoe when Preston tossed it to Zach. I grabbed it from the air and threw it to Grant. The guys laughed as we continued to toss the shoe. Zach let me toss the shoe with the guys and laid his head on my lap.

We chilled in our room for a while, the guys and I tossing a shoe like a football, mom and the girls discussing the next day's shopping trip. Ugh, I was so sick of shopping. I was actually kind of glad I wasn't going. I wondered what the guys and I were gonna do tomorrow. Nothing too exciting probably, with Solomon watching us.

"So what do you guys have planned for tomorrow?" Mom asked the boys.

"Zach apparently has an idea but he has yet to share." Grant told her.

"Is that so. Well, just remember that Cammie can't be on her ankle too much."

"Don't worry Mrs. M, we'll take good care of Cammie." Preston reassured her.

"I certainly hope so. You kids should go and get some food then get some rest. We've got a big day ahead of us ladies!" Mom said as she left our room.

"It sounds like you guys are going to have quite a bit of fun shopping tomorrow." I said sarcastically.

"You're so lucky you're staying here Cam. I thought Macey was an intense shopper, you're mom is crazy." Liz said, looking a little pale.

"Oh believe me, I know." I told her.

"Can we go eat, I feel my stomach is eating itself." Preston groaned.

"Food sounds like a grand idea." Bex said as she came to help me to my feet. Zach waved her off and pulled me onto his back and we set off for the kitchen.

We ate in the kitchen with Chef and then hurried back to our rooms. Well, the girls hurried back to our room and dragged me with them. We all got ready for bed quickly and after Macey set her alarm we went to sleep.

Macey's alarm went off way too early the next morning. Bex groaned, Liz whined, and I rolled over to go back to sleep. Macey, however, ignored the fact that I didn't have to be up yet and turned on the lights.

"Cam, will you help us get ready?" Macey asked.

"Sure." I moaned as I sat up.

"You're the best. Bex, shower." Macey ordered and we got to work.

I unloaded Macey's multitude of hair and beauty products while they showered and changed. I helped Bex and Liz choose their outfits, then straightened Macey's hair. I sat in between them and passed brushes back in front while they applied make up, all the while we chatted.

"Cammie, I'm so upset you aren't coming with us." Liz said softly.

"It's not too late Cam, you can still come." Macey agreed.

"I don't think they'll let me. I think if I play nice and stay off my ankle today, they'll actually let us do something fun with our last week together." I admitted.

"Yeah maybe...You have to text us the whole time. I know you hate texting and you never have your phone on you, but promise." Bex begged.

"Phones don't work in Gallagher, remember?" I reminded her.

"Jonas and I took care of that, please text us Cam. We can send each other pictures." Liz agreed with the idea.

"I promise I will text you guys." I really did plan on texting them. "Promise you'll text me back?" I asked.

"We promise." They said in unison. I smiled.

"Wow...we're done early. I forgot to factor out the time it would take to get Cam ready." Macey said as the set down their brushes.

"Well we might as well get her ready...I don't think she plans on going back to sleep." Bex suggested.

"True...shower, Cam." Macey said with a small grin. I groaned good-naturedly but hopped to the shower anyway.

I showered quickly and changed into a pair of shorts and a flowy thick strapped tank top with a bandeau underneath. Casual, comfy, and cute. Macey set me down in a chair and blow dried my hair while Bex helped me apply casual makeup, Lizzie playing some music from her computer. We sang along dramatically with the music while the blow dryer covered up how bad we sounded. We let my hair hang down loose but Macey slipped me a hair tie to put on my wrist in case I needed it, then after I slid on my silver locket and the ring that matched Macey, Bex, and Liz's I was ready for the day.

Just in time too, over the noise of the music we heard my mom's soft knock on the door.

"Are you girls ready?" She asked as we entered.

"Yes ma'am." Macey replied, picking up a small purse.

"Looks like Cammie is ready too." Mom said with a wink.

"Yeah, we had extra time." Bex explained.

"Well, we'd better get going." Mom said.

"Wait!" I exclaimed jumping to my feet, careful of my ankle. I grabbed the perfume we bought from the one boutique and sprayed all four of us. "Now we match."

We all grinned. I hugged each of my friends individually then hopped with them down to the front door where the limo awaited.

"Cam, I swear if you don't text us back, I will come back here and-" Bex threatened.

"Consider me warned." I cut her off. "I have my phone right here." I pulled it out of the bandeau I was wearing, it was practically a pocket. Bex nodded before climbing in the limo.

"I'll start a group message in the car." Macey said filing in after Bex.

"I don't know how I'm gonna do this without you Cam." Liz said, slightly scared.

"I believe in you Lizzie, stay strong." I said giving her one last hug.

She filed in after the others, and after hugging my mom goodbye, the limo took off and they were gone.

The sun was barely creeping over the horizon. The boys would be asleep for another few hours and I had nothing to do. Great.

My phone vibrated once and I checked to see who it was from. It was the group message Macey started.

'Cammie we miss you!' The text read. I quickly typed a reply.

'It's been 15 seconds.' I reminded them as I went inside and ate breakfast.

We continued our conversation all through their drive but it slowed as they reached the mall so I hopped upstairs to the library. I picked out a random book and read until I heard the noise that could only mean the boys were looking for me.

"CAMMIE!" Jonas was yelling as he walked down the hall.

"In the library!" I called to him.

Moments later he appeared at the door, out of breath.

"Finally, we've been looking everywhere for you. Come on, we've got big plans." He said pulling me to my feet and wrapping an arm around my waist to support me.

"So Zach finally shared?" I asked as we made way down the hall.

"Yeah, it's gonna be epic. We're creating an obstacle course that you have to do on your knees." Jonas explained.

"That will be incredibly fun." I stated.

"Yeah, I agree. Come on, they're down stairs with Solomon trying to find supplies. We're gonna set it up in the subs." Jonas said and we picked up our pace.

"There you two are, it's about time." Grant scolded as we entered the subs.

"I apologize that my ankle is sprained." I said sarcastically as I sat in one of the desks.

"You're here now and that's all the matters." Zach said. "Jonas, will you check our math?"

He gestured the whiteboard that was covered in so much information that I couldn't even see the math. Their handwriting truly was awful. From what I could gather, they were going to use the desks to create the obstacle course and I would be the test dummy.

"Yeah, the math looks good, let's get to work." Jonas announced and the boys cheered.

Set to work they did, it's incredible what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it. They decided to set up the end of the obstacle course then work backwards. The end seemed very simple in theory but in execution it was incredibly difficult. They ended up needing my help to hold some things up while they wedged something out of my sight line. I told them I hoped the rest of the obstacle course wasn't as difficult to build.

Once the end was up however, the rest was fairly straight forward it was just pretty time consuming. It wasn't long before we sent Grant to get Macey's ipod and speaker so it was less quiet in the subs. I was in charge of the music while they organized the desks. I was given strict instructions to change the song as soon as Preston started dancing and when Jonas started singing. As soon as I got a taste of both, I understood why.

We laughed and chatted mindlessly as they worked, having a blast. The time seemed to fly by. I sent the girls tons of pictures and they did the same. Once, Jonas, Grant, and Zach stacked four desks on top of each other and then climbed on top of them while Preston shook the desks. I took a selfie with me looking scared in the bottom of the frame and sent it to them with the caption 'Your boyfriends ar Y!' They agreed with me.

A few hours after we started the course was complete but we still had quite a few desks left so we decided to extend the course. Well, I decided to extend the course.

"We have to do something with the extra desks, they're kind of in the way." Grant said. They had been arguing about what to do with the chairs for like five minutes, so I stepped in.

"Put them in the elevator. That can be the beginning, try to get into the elevator then back out before the doors close on you." I suggested.

"That's actually a pretty good idea." Jonas agreed.

"To the elevator!" Zach yelled.

This lead to the next challenge, getting the desks into the elevator and arranging them so they were complicated before the doors closed on you. They put the desks in one at a time before I took pity on their poor souls and disabled the elevator for them. Then we arranged the desks without the added challenge of the elevator doors. Once we had them all arranged I fixed the elevator and we rode out of the subs.

"Well as much fun as that was...what do we do now?" Preston asked.

"Eat lunch." I suggested.

"We can extend the obstacle course along the main floor." Zach said, lost in thought.

"Good idea." Jonas agreed.

"I like Cammie's idea." Grant put in.

"We'll eat in a minute, I've got an idea." Zach said as he ran somewhere.

Jonas and Preston took off after him while Grant just groaned.

"I hate when he says that. Come on Cam, I'll give you a ride." Grant pulled me onto his back and we went in search of Zach and the others.

We found them in the main entry hall. Zach was on the ground, counting tiles?

"What on earth are you doing?" I asked.

"Shh." Zach said.

"He won't tell us." Jonas explained.

"Eureka!" Zach yelled, jumping to his feet and taking off once more.

"No!" Grant groaned again. "That's almost worse."

We took off running once more, this time a supply closet. Zach removed a roll of paper towels and shoved it into Jonas' hands.

"How sturdy is this?" He asked.

"Well it depends on what you mean by sturdy. If you mean how thick is it, about a millimeter if you mean-" Jonas began.

"Thanks, that's all I needed to know. How many layers would it take to make it thick enough to walk on if suspended?" Zach asked.

"Um, it depends on the weight of the person. Several rolls at least." Jonas said shortly.

"Awesome, grab all the paper towels you can and carry them to the main hall." Zach began throwing rolls of paper towels over his shoulder and we scrambled to catch them.

I say 'we' but I mean Jonas and Preston. I nudged Grant off to the side and asked him to take me to closet a little further down the hall.

"What are we doing down here?" Grant asked.

"Saving the planet." I responded as I grabbed a box full of dental floss.

"I'm confused." Grant stated.

"By using this in addition to the paper towels, we'll save several dozen rolls." I explained.

"Ugh, now you're in on it?" He asked.

"Well if he's gonna do it we may as well help. The sooner we're done the sooner we can eat. Many hands make light work." I decided.

"True enough." He agreed and we took off back to the grand hall.

"Freeze, Goode." I yelled as the boys came into view. Zach stopped unwrapping rolls of paper towels. "I'm going to make your life a million times easier."

I held up the box for them to see. Apparently Grant wasn't the only one that didn't get it.

"What's in there?" Preston asked.

"Dental floss." I said, Jonas gasped in understanding. Zach and Preston were still giving me blank looks so I explained once more. "It will give us more support so we use less paper towels."

"Oh." They said in recognition.

We set to work once more. Zach measure out lengths of paper towels and laid it out in the hallway. Then Jonas and I calculated how to extend the floss between the walls so it support our weight. We then spent the better part of four hours weaving it carefully from one side of the wall to the other a few feet off the ground down the incredibly long hallway. We went back and forth a few times making sure it was really sturdy. We didn't need any more injuries.

"Hey guys, how's it going?" Zach asked, a piece of pizza in his hands.

"You got food without us?" Jonas accused.

"Chill, we brought you guys food." Grant explained, appearing with a pizza on a tray. Jonas and I attacked it. Zach came and sat by my side and handed my a water bottle. I took it gratefully.

"So how's it going?" Zach asked again.

"Good, we're done." I stated as I waved at the weave of dental floss.

"So we can test it?" Preston asked hopefully.

"Sure. What have you guys been doing this whole time?" Jonas asked.

"Setting up the main hall. We were gonna extend the obstacle course through the main entrance then decided not to. We have another great idea though." Preston told us.

"Did we just do all of this for nothing?" I asked irritably.

"No way, this is still a great idea, we just didn't want to extend it through the main hall. Wanna see our other great idea?" Zach asked.

"I'm afraid to say yes." I told him cautiously.

"Don't be, this is gonna be epic." He said pulling me onto his back. He took off at a run toward the main entrance.

"Oh. My. Word." I told him as the staircase came into view.

"Mattress surfing!" Jonas exclaimed.

"What do you think Cam?" Zach asked.

"I think we were once suspended for doing something very similar in 7th grade." I told them, thinking back to the sledding escapade of '09.

"Seriously?" Preston asked.

"Oh yeah…" I replied. "This looks significantly safer than what we did."

"Well it's going to be significantly more fun too." Zach said as he hauled me up the stairs.

"Where did you get the mattresses?" I asked.

"The empty rooms." He replied, setting me on a mattress. He climbed onto it behind me. "You ready?"

"Absolutely." I was in no way ready. He pushed us off and we slid down the metal plates they had placed on the stairs. I screamed as we went around the curve in stairs and finally landed a foot in front of the door.

"I'm next!" Grant yelled as he ran up the stairs and launched back down them, sliding on a mattress.

"How are you Cam?" Zach asked, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Great actually." I laughed as Grant fell off the mattress. "I need to send pictures to the girls."

I laid back against Zach's chest as I took pictures and sent them to the girls. The guys called for Zach to go down with them and I pushed him up. All four of them climbed onto a mattress and they all managed to stay on their feet on the way down. We mattress surfed for a good part of the night, the guys took turns taking me up the stairs and surfing down with me on their back. It was a blast. We took a break to eat some very unhealthy dessert with Solomon then convinced him to go down with us a few times. Go down with Solomon was my favorite, he liked to spin the mattress around as he went down the stairs making it a million times more fun.

Finally, we acknowledged that my mom would be home soon and cleaned up the mattress surfing but we left the obstacle course up. We practiced going through the obstacle course so we could race with the girls when they came home. We had collapsed for the night when the limo pulled up in front of the school.

"Come guys, let's go!" Grant said excitedly as he bounded out the door.

"Come on Cam, don't you want to see what they got?" Preston asked as he followed after.

"I'll tell them you're too tired to move." Jonas offered as he followed Preston.

Zach and I laid on the floor by the stairs, his arms wrapped around my waist. My head rested in the crook of his neck as he leaned up against the banister. My leg was stretched across the bottom stair and my back was against his chest when we saw a bag laden Grant appear in the doorway.

"Run. Before they get you too." He said dramatically.

"Wait, seriously?" I asked.

"Zach, Cammie, because I love you I insist you run." Preston said appearing behind Grant with just as many bags.

"I don't think they're kidding." Zach mumbled and we sat up more.

"They're coming for you. Go!" Jonas yelled dramatically.

"Okay, we should go." I said as I tried to climb to my feet.

"Is that Zach and Cammie?" Macey's voice called.

Zach jumped to his feet and pulled me up with him, I jumped onto his back. We took off and disappeared into a passageway.

"Which way?" He asked. He recognized that I knew the school better.

It would be safest if we waited upstairs in the junior common room. That would be an easily explainable location.

"Left." I replied and he turned. "Right, second left, right, straight, right."

He followed my instructions simply then we stopped in front of a brick wall. I reached out and opened the latch then Zach stepped into the junior common room.

"Smart choice." He complimented.

"Thanks. They'll come looking for us in a couple minutes, we should de-dust." I suggested and we immediately began to remove the dust from our clothes and hair. We had just removed the last of it and sat down when Bex appeared in the doorway.

"I knew you'd be in here!" Bex exclaimed.

"Um...congratulations?" Zach said.

"Oh hush Goode, I'm here to get Cammie. You should make yourself useful and help your friends carry in the bags." Bex said as she crossed the room and grabbed my arm, pulling me up.

"I'll be sure to do that. Would you like me to carry Cammie?" He asked kindly.

"Well...sure, just be sure you don't let your hands wander anywhere they shouldn't be." Bex said and she let Zach pick me up. We followed Bex to the top of the stairs. "I got her from here Goode, go and lend a hand."

Zach kissed me softly then saluted Bex before going down the stairs and out the door to grab bags. Bex and I started for our room, her arm around my waist and mine around her shoulder for support. We reached our room and I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Oh. My. Word." I said slowly. Our room was already covered in bags and I knew that there were more.

"Cammie!" Liz's head popped out from behind a pile of boxes and bags.

"Geez Liz, what did you guys do, buy the whole mall?" I teased.

"Pretty much. I tried to stop them but I couldn't control anything. They were like jaguars on the hunt, they were unstoppable." She exclaimed as she wrapped me in a hug. "We split up to cover more ground and I'm absolutely terrified to see what they bought me."

"Oh good, you found Cam." Macey said as she came out of the bathroom. "You're going to love what I got you Cam. We managed to schedule the timing so that we no longer have to go shopping for new wardrobes. We got it done in one day!"

"Oh my goodness Lizzie, how are you still alive?" I asked.

"I don't know Cam, I really don't know. It's all a blur." She told me. "Let's get you sitting down before every sittable surface is covered."

Liz and Bex helped me sit on one of the seats that wasn't covered in bags just before the guys appeared with another set of bags. They set them all down before telling us there was probably one more load before they were done. A minute or two after they let, mom appeared with Solomon in tow.

"Oh no, they got you too Mr. S?" I asked.

"I'm afraid so Miss Morgan. Don't worry though, there are only a few bags left." He said with a wink before leaving the room.

"Hi sweetie, how you feeling?" Mom asked as she took a seat next to me. "Ankle all better?"

"Definitely." I stated. There was no way I was spending another day making everyone else carry me around.

"I saw your guys' obstacle course. Very impressive." She said I caught a hidden piece of information.

"Solomon was hiding in the subs?" I asked.

"Yes, at the end of the obstacle course. I must say, it took me longer than I expected to get through it, I'm impressed." She said as she smoothed my hair. "You're going to love the things Macey and I picked out for you."

"How much stuff did you guys buy?" I asked finally.

"A lot. We had to buy whole new wardrobes for all four of you as well as new accessories and even some new beauty products." She told me.

"Do you know how long it's going to take to sort through all this stuff?" I asked as I gestured around the room. Now our dorm room was pretty big, it had to be to accommodate four girls, but it was practically bursting with bags.

Mom laughed a little. "I'm sorry sweetie, it looks like you've had a long day, but now you've got a long night ahead of you. I've got bags of my own to unpack, I'll see you girls in the morning."

"Hey Cam, where's my iPod?" Macey asked.

I winced. "I think it's still down in the subs."

"Sweet, let's go get it." Macey grabbed Liz and Bex and we took off for the subs.

We reached the hallway where the dental floss was stretched out and the girls stopped dead.

"Cammie, I know you said you were making an obstacle course but I honestly didn't expect it to be this big." Bex stated as she looked down the hallway. It was a long hallway, almost a fourth of a mile. It went across a good chunk of the school.

"You have no idea." I told them truthfully. "This is only the beginning."

"Is there any kind of shortcut or...something?" Macey asked.

"Nope." I replied.

"I was afraid she might say that. You go first Cam." Liz said, pushing me forward slightly. "We'll follow."

It was a good idea so I climbed up onto the paper towels and dental floss and began crawling along it. Now, the boys and I had done this a few times already so I was getting pretty fast at it and I completely forgot that the girls didn't know about the little traps we set along the way. I waited at the elevator for about five minutes before they finally appeared.

"Okay guys this is where it gets hard." I told them as I pushed the elevator button.

"Was that supposed to be the easy part?" Bex asked.

"We've got to be really fast, the easiest way to get in is here at the left corner. Just follow me, and we should be fine." I explained as the elevator doors opened.

I hurried through the hole and pulled Liz down behind me. Bex and Macey hurried down after us and barely made it in before the doors closed.

"This is insane!" Macey exclaimed as we clambered in around the desks.

"This is where it gets fun, now hurry we have to get to the other side of the desks before the doors open." I said as I wove around the desk legs.

"Cammie, remind me to never leave you alone with the guys again." Bex commented as we scrambled around the desks.

"Why are you blaming me?" I asked as I reached the other side of the elevator.

"I know you, and I know your ideas. This was definitely your idea. Why are we going to the other side of the elevator?"

"Because the easiest way isn't necessarily the easiest way out." I told them as they joined me, seconds before the elevator opened.

"So tell me something honestly, how long were you guys stuck in here the first time you got in the elevator?" Macey asked.

"Honestly, we all got out the first time. Preston almost lost a toe, but we got out." I told them as we scrambled out of the elevator. "It helped that we were the ones that built it so we knew how to get in and out easily."

"Okay, where's the iPod?" Macey asked as the elevator doors closed.

"Just over here by the door, I basically sat here the whole time." I told them as I reached behind a desk and grabbed the iPod and speaker.

"Okay, now how do we get out?" Bex asked.

"The same way we got in." I told them, as if it were obvious. They groaned.

Getting back up the elevator was significantly easier than getting in the elevator the first time. We made it across the dental floss bridge pretty quickly too. Soon enough we were back in our room, victorious.

"Cammie, I am never leaving you alone with the guys again." Macey declared as we entered our bag covered room.

"There you guys are." Grant said, popping out from behind Bex's bed.

"We thought you got lost in the bags." Jonas added, appearing from the side of Liz's bed.

"We got the rest of the bags." Preston announced as he came out of the bathroom.

Zach came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist without a word.

"Awesome thanks." Macey said as she kissed him.

"You guys are the best." Bex agreed, kissing Grant.

"Now get out." Liz said kindly as she wrapped Jonas in a hug.

"Oh come on…" Jonas whined.

"Sorry guys, we need to get this stuff organized. Go get some rest it looks like you guys had a busy day." Macey said as she led Preston to the door.

"Did you see our obstacle course?" Grant asked as Bex pulled him from the room.

"We did. We love it, it's really impressive." Bex told him.

"Cammie helped me weave all the dental floss." Jonas told Liz as she walked him to the door.

"You did great Jonas. I recognized your pattern. Maybe tomorrow you can show me how you did it, but tonight we need to get this done." How did Liz manage to make kicking someone out of our room polite?

"Can we hang out tomorrow?" Preston asked.

"We can hang out all day tomorrow, we're going to do a photo shoot tomorrow." Macey told him as she grabbed Zach and began hauling him to the door.

Suddenly the guys didn't look so eager to spend time with us.

"Maybe we'll let you guys take pictures tomorrow. I think Solomon wanted to go camping tomorrow, right guys?" Grant asked.

"Yeah yeah, something about a boot camp." Zach agreed.

"Oh...well, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with that. We'll see you guys tomorrow then, night." Macey said as she hurried and shut the door on them, locking it for good measure.

"That was easily the most entertaining thing that happened all day." I told Macey as she pushed her back against the door.

"I missed you Cam." Macey said with a small smile. "But now, we've got a lot of work to do."

"Should I fear for my life?" I asked, only half joking.

"No." Bex said with a smile, but behind her Liz was nodding yes.
