The next day, everything was ready to go. Luke had, very surprisingly, taken care of everything. Gill and Luke were downstairs waiting for Chase to finally emerge from his room. He hadn't come out since yesterday. "What do you think is wrong with him?" Luke asked.

Gill shrugged, "Beats me… this is the first time he's getting worked up over a girl. Maybe he's in love."

"Hell no, I'm not!" He suddenly walked in the room.

"He's alive!" Luke said.

"Why are you letting her get to you so much?" Gill asked.

"There's only room for one uncaring, unkind, and rude person on this island!" Chase answered.

"But, Chase, you're not that bad", Luke said.

"Say it ain't so…" Chase fell to his knees. "I'm losing to a woman! My manly pride… drained…"

Gill looked over to see a puddle on the floor. "Chase, how many times have I warned you and Luke… no melting in the house! It ruins the carpets!"

Hours later and the party had commenced. Gill was downstairs making sure that nothing got out of hand, Chase was in his room, trying to ignore the loud noise, and Luke was drinking and having a great time!

The party, so far, was going great. Surely, nothing could go wrong…

Rina and Ali had arrived. Ali was in the corner, trying to keep to herself while her sister was the life of the dance floor. All the boys gathered around to watch Rina show off her dance moves while the girls gathered on the other side of the room, obviously jealous.

"Ladies!" Luke said, "Rina shouldn't be the only one having fun~ let's get on the dance floor!" He was able to eliminate the friction in the room, but Rina was still the most popular girl there.

Gill smiled watching everyone have fun from the safety of his couch. "Rina sure seems to be getting a lot of attention… I'm sure she'll have no problem finding a guy on the island."

"Do you want to dance?"

"Excuse me?" Gill said. He hadn't even realized Rina had walked over to him.

Rina laughed. "I asked you if you wanted to dance, silly!"

"I… uh… I can't."

"Then I'll teach you!" She grabbed his hand and led the now flustered Gill to the middle of the room. All of the guys walked away saddened, and tried their luck with new dance partners.

"I-I can't do this…" Gill said, watching Rina move her body in ways he thought was physically possible.

"Oh c'mon! Just feel the beat a little." Gill started swaying a bit, obviously nervous. He was saved when the song switched to something nice and slow. "Wait…" he thought. "S-slow song! This is even worse!" He turned to the stereo to find that Luke was standing near it. This was obviously his doing. Luke shot Gill a quick wink before retreating to the kitchen.

"Still want to dance?" Rina asked. "This does seem a bit more your style, after all."

"Y-yeah…" Of course Gill had slow-danced before… but only with his cousins at family events. Rina wrapped her hands around Gill's neck and in turn, Gill placed his hands around her waist as they gently swayed on the dance floor.

Gill noticed a blush on Rina's face, which made him question if she was as nervous as he was. When the song ended, he retreated, making up some lame excuse that he had to go check on something.

Luke had noticed the anti-social Ali in the corner of the room. He walked over to her and handed her a bottle of beer. "Here! Join the party a bit." He winked at her.

"I-I don't drink…" she said, trying to hand the bottle back, but Luke refused.

"Oh c'mon. Just give it a try", he smiled.

She took a sip, finding it to be quite tasteful. "I-It's not bad", she said in her quiet voice.

"See! I told you so." She smiled at his kindness, and blushed, suddenly feeling self aware.

They continued small talk for a long time, Luke barely even noticed, he was having such a fun time with these small conversations. An hour and a few beer bottles later, Ali was talking up a storm.

She giggled at something he had just said. "I-I've been having a lot of fun."

"Me too", Luke smiled.

"I usually don't talk so much… but it's nice."

"I like it when you're talkative! You say a lot of interesting things."

Ali blushed. "I-I do?"

"Yeah."

"U-um, Luke…"

"Yeah?"

"I don't feel too good..."

"Well that's not good! Come with me." He took her hand and led her to his bedroom on the third floor. "Lay down for a bit. Stupid me, I shouldn't have given you so much to drink, since you're not used to it."

Ali hesitantly laid on his bed and Luke pulled the blankets over her and gave her some water. "T-thank you."

"Water should help a bit. That's what Gill always gives me when I get drunk… and he slaps me… but I won't do that to you! I promise!" Ali laughed.

"You're very nice, Luke."

"You think so?"

"Y-yeah…"

Luke kissed her cheek. "S-sorry… I don't know what came over me."

Ali smiled. "I-It's ok… I liked it." Then, she drifted off to sleep.

Meg was half drunk, exploring the house. She found Chase's room and walked in. "So this is where orange-top sleeps..." She sniffed around. "Smells like oranges." She found a small book with Chase's name written on it. Opening it, she realized it was his diary and began to read it…

Dear Diary,

Today Luke pissed me off. I slapped him. I ate a couple of oranges. I walked around for a bit. Maya is still stalking me… I hope she deleted all of those naked pictures of me on her phone. I'm really tired. I'm going to sleep now.

-Chase

Meg laughed and flipped back to some earlier pages, finding one incredibly long diary entry… the first one he made when he had moved to Waffle Island. She discovered a lot about Chase's past, including the brother that he hadn't seen in years, and his dead parents. She suddenly felt bad for everything that she had said to him…

"What the hell are you doing in my room!" Meg jumped, startled, and turned around.

"C-Chase!" She hid the diary behind her back.

"What's that!" he asked angerly.

"What's what?"

"THAT! Behind your back!"

"N-nothing!"

"You liar!"

Suddenly, Meg fled from the room, still holding Chase's diary. She walked up to the fourth floor and went outside to the spiral stairs leading up to the top of the lighthouse. Chase was close behind.

"There's nowhere to run now!" he said.

"Shit…"

"Hand it over! How much did you read!"

"Just about the naked pictures that Maya has."

Chase blushed. "For the record, I did NOT give her permission to take those!"

"Sure, orange-top."

"Don't call me that, peach-tree."

"Ya know, I was going to try to be nicer to you, but I've changed my mind!"

"Good thing, 'cause I was never planning to be nice to you!"

With each insult, they got closer and closer to eachother.

"Maybe if you were a little kind, people would want to get to know you."

"I could say the same to you!"

"Oh really!"

"Yeah!"

"Then let's both start being nice!"

"Why should we!" … "Wait… what?"

They had gotten so close to each other, only inches apart now, Meg wrapped her arms around Chase's neck and pulled him in for a very long kiss. Her fingers became tangled in his messy orange locks and Chase couldn't pull away. Instead he pulled her closer for the most heated kiss of his life.
