Chapter 3 The kids trudged slowly to their tents, they had been on the nature walk for nearly half the night and where now dead tired. Belle and Mimi collapsed into their tent, each heaving a huge sigh. "So Belle, you have got to tell me what is with you and Shawn! The whole nature walk you 2 were alone in the back whispering and holding hands!" Belle blushes at how closely her best friend had observed them. "Meems I don㒓泱 want to say anything at the moment. Shawn and I decided to keep certain details to ourselves for now to make them more special. But I can say that our relationship has changed!" Mimi lets out a squeal of happiness and throws her arms around Belle. "Oh I am soo happy for you both!" Mimi was surprised that the normal jealous pulls on her heart where no longer present when Belle told her the news. Well I am sure I am over Shawn Douglas Brady now! Belle had already changed into her pajamas and was settling into her sleeping bag when she glanced over at Mimi who was still in her regular clothes. "Meems aren't you going to change into your pj's?" "Umm..ya but I'm not tired so I think I will go for a walk once I'm done changing ok?" She was met with no response and upon checking found that Belle was out like a light. She sighed as she changed into her pajamas and threw her hair up into a messy ponytail. "Guess it's just me, myself, and I again" she mumbled to herself as she walked out of the tent. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Meanwhile back at Phillip and Shawn's tent, Phillip was busy grilling Shawn about his relationship with Belle. "So is yours and Belle's relationship a set thing now? Or are you still denying your true feelings?" " I never denied my true feelings for Belle." "Sure and I'm Tarzan!" Phillip scoffed. Shawn laughed but then glared at his best friend. "Ok so yes Belle and I have an official relationship, but that is all I can tell you." "Good enough for me man. Well I am gonna go for a walk so don㒓泱 wait up." Phillip glanced over at Shawn only to find him sprawled out over the length of the tent and snoring softly. Phillip sighed as he shook his head and then changed into his pajama bottoms. He walked out of the tent towards the water. Earlier he had found the perfect spot to sit and think while everyone else was busy setting up camp. As he walked through the tropical trees he saw the outline of someone sitting on a log facing the ocean. He quietly stepped closer trying to get a better view. Who in the heck is that, and how did they find this place? It took me forever to find it this afternoon. He stepped closer and finally got a clear picture of the person. She was leaning forward on the log with her chin resting on her hands and talking quietly to herself. He strained to hear what she was saying and took one step farther. SNAP was all that could be heard in the silence. Phillip cringed as the figure flew around to face him with a look of surprise on their face.
