A/N- Ok, here is chapter two! I notice that Kevin hasn't been really mentioned in this story so far, so next chapter will involve lots of Kevin :) Because I love Kevin! Well, I hope you like it! A little short, once again, but I got kinda stuck for ideas!

Enjoy!

Operation Joella

"So, what exactly did you have in mind?" Macy asked her partner in crime, while absentmindedly stirring the contents of her coffee cup around with her spoon. It was midday, and she and Nick were deciding about what to do with their Joe and Stella problem.

"Well, if I'm perfectly honest...I have no idea whatsoever" Nick replied with a chuckle, "Even though I'm three points shy of a genius, I'm not exactly the smartest when it comes to relationships. What about you, any good ideas?"

"I think we need to go with the easiest approach. Now, what weakness does Joe and Stella share, Apart from each other?" After only getting a blank stare in response, Macy sighed and continued, "C'mon Nick, you practically said it yourself last night! Joe is always complaining that Stella is spending too much time with Ben, and Stella really hates Vanessa, for one reason and one reason only. It's jealousy! They get jealous, real easy. Remember last year with the whole Van Dyke thing? We just need to recreate that, but on a bigger scale! We have to make Joe so jealous that he won't be able to rest until Stella is in his arms, so jealous that he would kill just to make Stella his."

"That's a very devious plan, Miss Misa. I'm impressed. But what happens if it backfires on us? We need a plan B, too"

"We could always lock them in an elevator together until they sort their problems out like on those old eighties' sitcoms" She suggested, with a huge grin that showed off every one of her pearly white teeth.

She looks so cute when she smiles...- wait, what! Now the thought was in Nick's head, it wouldn't go. He looked down at his lap quickly, as to avoid eye contact. She's just a friend, just a friend. Yeah, keep telling yourself that, kid.

"Nick? Nick, are you even listening to me?" His thoughts were distracted by Macy, trying to draw his attention back to her by clicking in his face. He took a deep breath, smiled, and swatted her hand away playfully, only to be met with a huge electric shock, radiating through his body.

"Damn, Macy, I would expect that level of maturity from Joe, not you!" He remarked, his voice laced with feigned anger. Maybe if he ignored the feeling that had just swept through him when his hand touched Macy's, it would just go away.

"Hey, it was your idea to do something about Joe and Stella! I was only trying to recapture your attention after you zoned out!" She laughed, once again showing off nearly every grinning tooth in her mouth.

Kill me now.

"Well, we've got our plan. Now all we need to do is put it into action. Who do we use to make Joe jealous?"

"Well, it has to be Ben. I mean, Joe already kinda hates him for going on that date with Stella. Plus, he's totally cute. A definite head turner" He wasn't sure why, but the thought of Macy thinking that a guy who wasn't him as cute made his stomach churn.

"Well, ok, we'll use Ben. Now all we need to do is make Joe so jealous, he realises he can't live without Stella"

"Well, that's easy. Stella and Van Dyke weren't even together and he got bit by the green eyed bug then. All we need to do is make sure that Joe walks in on Stella and Ben kissing, or on a really romantic date. He'll be so heartbroken; he'll just have to let out all his feelings to you or Kevin. And, when he does, Stella will be listening"

"Are you sure this will work?"

"Positive. I mean, come on, who's the girl here? I happen to watch all the chick flicks. I know how these kind of things work"

So what did you think? Will Macy's plan work? And what is up with Nick? Please review, even if it's just to say that you hated it!
