Gwen and Nick haven't talked since Blake left. Nick would sometimes ask if they had something or if Gwen wanted food but that's all he would ask her. Besides that, they never talked. Isaac, Larry, and Tanner have noticed and are very worried for them. Gwen was now in the kitchen, making some cookies. Larry had tried to help her but he was just making a mess. Gwen scooped up the dough and placed them on the baking sheet. She could hear footsteps and she looked up. It was Nick. Gwen looked back at her dough and continued to put them on the pan. Nick cleared his throat and she kept her head down.

"Gwen" She ignored him. "Gwendolyn" She ignored him. "Gwendolyn Janet Cooper" She dropped her scooper and looked up at him.

"Yes Nicholas? What do you want?" Larry and Tanner ran away from the kitchen and up the stairs.

"We need to stop this arguing. I want things back the way they were before." Gwen sighed.

"Nick, I'm gonna stay mad at you. You are trying to control my love life cause you don't like the idea of me dating one of your friends. You either need to grow up or get that stick out of your ass and accept it." Gwen said.

"I'm sorry Gwen. I just got scared" Nick admitted as he put down his drink. "I was scared that you would forget about me because of Blake. It was dumb but I really got scared. It seemed like you were only happy or excited when he was around during the trip" Gwen sighed and walked over to Nick. She hugged him and he hugged back.

"I would never forget you Nick. You've been my friend for so long, I don't think I could forget you even if I tried" Nick chuckled and let go.

"So, are we good now?" Gwen nodded.

"As long as your good with me liking your friend" Nick chuckled.

"Of course" The two smiled and Nick went back to his room. Gwen continued to put the dough on the baking sheet. Her phone rang and she picked it up.

"Gwen! I need help!" Gwen looked at her phone to see it was Grunk who called.

"What happened? Are you ok?" Gwen panicked.

"Yes I'm fine, I just have a date in an hour and I don't know what to wear" Gwen sighed out of relief.

"Don't say it like that Grunk! You scared me!" Gwen said. She switched the call to facetime and Grunk appeared on screen. "Show me the outfits you got in mind" Grunk disappeared from the screen and came back on screen in a white T-shirt that had black paint splatters all over it and black cargo pants.

"Outfit one" Grunk said as he spun around. "is it too basic?"

"A little, but it's not awful" Gwen said. "Let me see the others" Grunk leaves the screen and comes back in a green knit sweater and some black shorts. "The shorts are a no"

"But why?" Grunk asked.

"Shorts are gross and it doesn't look great with the sweater." Grunk nodded and left the screen again and came back in a cream colored sweater and some green cargo pants.

"And my final choice" Grunk spun around.

"That's perfect. It looks great on you Grunk!" Gwen said with a smile on her face.

"You sure?" Grunk said.

"Yeah, I'm sure she's gonna love the fit" Gwen said. "Now, go before your late" Grunk quickly said bye to Gwen and hung up. Gwen went back to her cookies and Tanner came out and down to the kitchen.

"You and Nick done fighting?" He asked as he took some of the dough out of the bowl.

"Yeah, we're good now" Gwen said as she smacked his arm. He licked his finger clean and went to the pantry. Gwen heard a door open and footsteps. She looked around the counter and Nick was walking down the hall.
