By the time the campfire started Lizzie just wanted to curl up in her bed. She leaned against the camp office.

"Comfy?" Lizzie heard someone ask from beside her.

"Yea," she smiled sarcastically.

"Well you should come sit next to me by the fire, it'll be nicer," Joel smiled.

He made his way over to the bench and took a seat as Lizzie trudged behind him.

There wasn't a lot of room on the bench though so Joel moved over to make room but ended up falling in the ground.

Lizzie burst out laughing. "Are are you okay?" she asked between laughs.

"Yeah, oh course I am cause I'm a man." He said his voice cracking at 'man'.

She laughed taking a seat them facing back onto the ground.
-----

Lizzie sat in her cabin looking at tomorrows activities.

"Water painting at dock side with Joel." She sighed.

Looking at the rising sun. Her alrm went off. She sighed walking out the cabin to her groups cabin. She woke up to find them all awake talking to Joel.

"You're cute." One of the girls said.

"Oh thank you." He said a bright red hue to his cheeks.

"Omg you have braces!" Another squealed 'you're so adorable."

Lizzie chuckled walking in. Looking around "I think that's enough."

---------

"Ok guys let's try to paint the scene around us." Joel smiled looking around the dock. His eyes trailed to Lizzie who was helping another group.

He picked up his paintbrush and started painting. He painted a little pink bunny.

--------

"What's that supposed to be?" Lizzie asked. "You see a lot of pink bunnies around here?" She continued.

Joel just laughed, "it was supposed to be you but ya know, I can't paint people, and you remind me of a cute little bunny sooo, your a pink bunny," he finished.

Lizzie looked at him with a questioning look, "so I, am a pink.. Bunny?" She said slowly spacing out her words.

"Yeas," Joel said slowly rethinking the whole thing.

There was a moment of silence, "I like it," she smiled. "In a strange sort of way," she said.

He smiled triumphantly at his work. "But why exactly did you draw me, sorta?" She asked.

"Cuz....you were the first thing I saw," he said.

Lizzie frowned "well I actually drew you too because.. I wanted to try to figure you out," she stated as she showed him the picture.

"You drew me as Shrek?" He asked.

Lizzie bit her lip, "maybe.?" She replied as a question.

"Hmm, shrek is my favorite movie, but shrek is not love and is not life." Joel said the end seriously.

"Umm your Minecraft skin is Shrek you douche bag," Lizzie laughed.

"..how do you know that?" Joel asked.

"I've seen a video or 2 of you on YouTube," she giggled.

"Well.....maayyybeee, I'm not I have but I've seen your YouTube video's too...." Joel said then leaninging on the railing.

Suddenly the railing gave out from his weight. Lizzie quickly reached out grabbing him, they both crashed into the water. All the girls laughed. And squealed. They both popped up in to water.  

"You Little...Boothead."Lizzie laughed looking at his braces filled smile.
