# Episode 15| Hase vs Skoliver
...While Adam spent the day with Grace, the rest of the team went to an event that was happening on the beach, an event for couples.
"Wow, what's all this about?" Skylar asks "Oh yeah, there's an old couple who own a hotel nearby and every year,on their wedding anniversary they have a big event for couples" Kaz says.
"How do you know?" Harper asks "My aunt and uncle used to participate" Kaz says "That's so cool" Chase says.
"of course, one more thing to remind me that I'm single" Bree says frustrated "well sometimes events like this are the best to...stop being single" Kaz says nervously.
"I'm not so sure, all the guys here are old" Bree looks around "not all of them" Kaz says quietly.
"Look" Oliver takes out a leaflet "they're going to hold a competition for couples for a free week at their resort" Oliver says, everyone looks at the leaflet.
"wait! This is their resort!? You said they owned a hotel!" Harper says "hotel, resort isn't all the same thing?" Kaz says.
"Wow look at this place!" Bree says "Look at this pool" Skylar says "look at this room" Oliver says "Look at this spa" Chase says, everyone looks at him "I mean look at this zipline" Chase clears his throat.
"Aw Harper, You have a lovely girlfriend!" Kaz chuckles, Chase glares at him irritated "Don't make jokes, she's in those days" Harper says, Chase smiles sarcastically at her.
"Whoa a week in a paradise like that, I would love that!" Bree says "So all it takes to achieve that is to play these couples games?" Skylar asks "Yeah!" Oliver says.
"Sounds cool, what do you think, sweetheart, let's sign up for the competition and with luck, get a little vacation just for the two of us!?" Chase says excitedly "It looks like fun, I'm in!" Harper says she and Chase gives a high five.
"Ha good luck, Skylar and I are going to join the competition too, you guys don't have a chance" Oliver says, Chase and Harper look at each other.
"Are you saying that you and Skylar are a better couple than us?" Chase says slightly uncomfortable "Maybe, why? Are you scared?" Oliver laughs "Not just feeling sorry for you" Harper crosses her arm, and Chase nods.
"Uuuhh that's going to be good" Bree says to herself "what do you mean?" Kaz ask "Have you seen Chase and Harper in competition mode?" Bree ask "Uh...No?" Kaz says.
"Yeah, it's not pretty, Chase is competitive when his fragile ego is threatened and Harper is competitive as hell when it comes to showing her superiority" Bree says "Oh, so that's not just a competition for them..." "It's a war!" Kaz and Bree say together.
"Why we don't let the score decide" Skylar holds her arms "Obviously, but the score is in our favor" Chase says.
"yeah definitely me plus Chase, it's a lot of intellect and agility together there's nothing that we can't do it" Harper says "needless to say just look at us" Chase smirk.
"well me and Skylar are much better I mean look at her, she carries all the cuteness for both of us" Oliver says "you just insulted yourself was that right!?" Bree questions, Olive thinks, Chase laughs.
"Oliver, I'm sorry but this game is won for me and Harper!" Chase brags "oh yeah!?" Oliver says "yeah! Look at us we're adorable!!" Chase says holding Harper's face close to his.
"yeah! We're adorable!" Harper says with difficulty, her mouth crushed by the way Chase holds her face "We are more!" Oliver says hugging Skylar.
"well see you on the battlefield Skoliver!" Harper says "You're going down, Hase!" Skylar says the two shaking hands as they face each other.
"Our ships are so cute!" Skylar smiles gently, "I know right!" Harper smiles, wrinkling her nose.
...................................................................
Everyone goes to the counter to sign up for the competition, Bree looks at the resort's brochure.
"Did you want to sign up for the competition?" Kaz says, Bree chuckles, "It would be a combo to spend a week at that place,but it would also be cool to participate" Bree says, Kaz thinks.
"why don't we both sign up?" Kaz asks, Bree looks at him in surprise "Uh...you and me...in a...couples competition" Bree asks nervously "Yes!" Kaz smiles.
"B-But we're not a couple" Bree says "It's not in the rules that it needs to be a couple who are dating, so in this case a couple means two people..." Kaz says "You're right" Bree says putting her hair behind her ear.
"and as for the prize, if we win which I think is unlikely but if it happens...you can have the resort stay" Kaz smirk "Really?" Bree says "sure, it'll be fun anyway" Kaz says.
"You don't have to do that" Bree says "come on it'll be fun!" Kaz says, Bree thinks about it "I don't see why not" Bree smiles, Kaz smiles back.
"I'm going to sign up" Bree says "cool I'm going for a swim in the meantime" Kaz says, Bree starts to go to the tent to sign up.
She looks back and sees Kaz diving in and out of the water, he fixes his wet hair and Bree watches him thoughtfully.
She starts to think that she had never noticed before but Kaz was actually cute, he laughs at something Oliver said and she notices his smile, a beautiful smile.
Skylar approaches, meanwhile the following thought passes through Bree's head, wow Kaz really is handsome and cute, how had she not noticed before.
"Bree?" Skylar ask, Bree's train of thought is broken at that moment "Yes!" Bree says "is everything okay?" Skylar says.
"Yes, and..me and Kaz are going to sign up" Bree says, Skylar frowns "You and Kaz?" Skylar says "As a friend, yes" Bree says.
"Oh that's actually pretty cool" Skylar smiles "It was his idea, he said it would be fun and...he saw that I was interested in the prize and offered to help me..." Bree says thoughtfully thinking about what Kaz had done for her.
"Aw that's really nice of him" Skylar says, they both stop and think "that's weird!" They both say "Kaz being nice like that without wanting anything in return..." Skylar says.
Bree thinks, maybe there is a reason, she starts to get nervous "Uh...I bet it's not better if we don't think about it" Bree says leaving, Skylar frowns when she sees Bree's way with this.
......................................................................
Everyone starts getting ready for the competition, Oliver bought two milkshakes for him and Skylar.
Harper is putting her hair in a ponytail because of the heat "Uhg it's really hot in here" Harper says "Just take off the jacket" Chase says "Only if I go swimming, other than that I'll keep the jacket on!" Harper says.
Chase rolls his eyes he takes off his shirt "Baby, can you help me with the sunscreen on my back?" Chase asks Harper "Sure" Harper takes the sunscreen and starts applying it to his back.
She starts to applying it on his lower back Chase frowns, Harper slowly applies it a lil lower "Only on the back!" Chase says annoyed, Harper laughs.
"Aw but I don't want you to Sunburn those abs" Harper whispers in his ear, as she hugs his ab from behind, Chase blushes and smiles, she kisses his neck.
Chase looks at Oliver and Skylar "They don't have a chance" Chase smiles convinced, Harper strokes his arm "Don't let the competitive spirit go to your head" Harper says.
"It's not competitive spirit, it's logic" Chase says, Harper glares at him "I mean look at them!" Chase points, Harper looks at Oliver and Skylar.
Skylar drinks the milkshakes and Oliver approaches her with a napkin wanting to clean her mouth in a loving way, Skylar grabs Oliver's hand violently and twists his hand, he lets go of the napkin.
"Okay, I understand, you don't need help!" Oliver says, Skylar lets go of his hand.
"Yeah, I got your point" Harper says "not to mention we're the couple on this team!" Chase says.
"Uh what do you mean?" Harper says "we're the most experienced when it comes to dating since we've been together for three years now" Chase says.
"yes that gives us an advantage, but you counted on the fact that in addition to Skylar and Oliver we will compete against that couple over there" Harper says pointing to a middle aged couple.
"They are probably married for years with children and maybe even grandchildren, I doubt our experience beats theirs" Harper says.
"We still have the advantage of being younger and smarter, but the important thing here is not the rest, our fight is with Skylar and Oliver and proving to them who are the best" Chase says "I don't think this will be a problem," Harper says.
......................................................................
Everyone gets ready for the competition, the competition judge approaches.
"Well I see that half of our participants are bionic" he says "is there a problem with that sir?" Oliver asks "just one, If we see you using bionics, you're out!" He says.
"We guarantee you that we won't use bionics" Chase says "I think it'll be even more interesting that way" Harper says looking at Oliver and Skylar.
"It's going to be fun" Kaz says excitedly he puts his arm around Bree saying that, Bree smiles at him "yes" Bree says she feels her face heat up, it must be the sun.
"Okay, I'm Gary and I'm going to be the judge of this competition, the rules are clear, no fights or cheating and much less bionics" Gary says, everyone agrees.
"Okay the first challenge is simple, one of each pair will be blindfolded and will have to go through this obstacle course only on the instructions of their partner, it is an activity based on communication and trust, the first one to reach the flag and bumping into fewer obstacles wins!" Gary says "okay it seems simple" Oliver says.
"I'm going!" Harper says, handing Chase the blindfold so he can blindfold her "why you?" Chase says, "you have bionic senses, you'll feel the obstacles in your path even when you're blindfolded, so..." Harper says.
"okay, right, so do exactly what I say" Chase says tying the blindfold over her eyes "of course, who's my leader huh?" Harper smiles, Chase smiles "You're very sassy today, young lady" Chase says shyly, Harper laughs.
Skylar blindfolds Oliver "Are you sure you don't want me to go?" Skylar ask "No Skylar, I can do it" Oliver says "But you keep tripping without being blindfolded" Skylar says.
Oliver lifts the blindfold to look at her irritated "But I believe in you, honey!" Skylar smiles.
"Okay I will go" Bree says "are you sure?" Kaz asks "yes I just tried to be clear with the instructions and everything will work out" Bree says, Kaz looks at the obstacle course.
"It's actually quite simple" Kaz says "yeah?" Bree says "yes, look, you can see that if you go straight through the middle of the obstacle course, there's almost nothing in the way except that box" Kaz says "You're right, good eye Kaz!" Bree says, Kaz smiles.
"so all you need to do is go straight from..." Kaz takes Bree's arms and positions her in front of the obstacle course "here!...And wait when I say to jump the box" Kaz says with his hands gently on Bree's arms.
Kaz caresses her arm with his thumb gently and almost imperceptibly, But Bree pays attention to his every little movement "okay, got it!" Bree says, Kaz lets go of her arms and blindfolds her.
When he pulls away from her, Bree feels a slight sense of disappointment, as if she wants him to keep his hands on her arms.
"Okay everyone ready!?" Gary asks "I was born ready" Harper says "That's my girl!" Chase says.
"I was born ready too!" Oliver says turning to the right threatening Harper who is on the left "She's on the other side honey" Skylar says "Oh" Oliver says.
"can we get this over with already!" Bree says "Bree stay calm and pay attention to my signal ok?" Kaz says, Bree nods.
"Three, two, one...go!" Gary honks the horn and everyone starts walking while their partners try to guide them.
Bree walks straight from where Kaz positioned her "That's it Bree, you're doing good, stay straight!" Kaz shouts.
"Oliver get down!" Skylar says, Oliver ducks under an iron pole "Stay down!" Skylar says "what!?" Oliver stands up and hits his head "I said stay down!" Skylar says "I understand now!" Oliver says in pain.
"Harper on your left there is a traffic cone, swerve it to the left and roll under an iron pole twice, go five steps forward and jump over a wooden log, when you get there I will give you more instructions" Chase says "got It!" Harper says.
She does everything exactly as Chase instructed, the fact that he anticipates the obstacles for her gives them an advantage, with Bree following Kaz's strategy right behind, and Oliver in last place, since even though Skylar instructs him he runs into all the obstacles.
They keep the same rhythm "That's it sweetheart, we're almost there!" Chase gets excited "You're doing well Bree we have a chance!" Kaz says "I'll go next Oliver!" Skylar says watching Oliver slip on the wet floor.
In the end Harper gets the first place, Bree second and Oliver fourth since the lady from that middle-aged couple arrived before him.

Score: Hase I, Skoliver 0, Braz 0
"Look how beautiful, we're in first, that just feels right doesn't it?" Chase says "Stay calm Chase" Harper says.
"my bad, but we work really well together" Chase says "I already knew that, and I didn't need a beachside competition to find out " Harper says, Chase smiles.
"Wow it was close" Kaz says "I know" Bree smiles "did you see Oliver's face when he realized that lady passed him?" Kaz asks "no because I was blindfolded" Bree says "Oh yeah, what a shame because that face was priceless" Kaz laughs, Bree chuckles gently.
"Okay lovebirds!!" Gary tells everyone "Our next challenge will be in the pool, you will have to climb onto your partner's back and the objective is to knock your opponent off the opposing partner's back, the last couple standing wins" Gary explains.
"Oh I'm sure we're going to win this one, with your brute strength none of the girls will be left standing" Oliver says "Mine what?" Skylar crosses her arms "Your beautiful and delicate strength" Oliver says, laughing nervously, Skylar smiles sarcastically.
"No, Skylar is so much stronger than me how am I going to take her down" Harper says "Darling, what do I always say?" Chase says "Intelligence beats strength every time" Harper says "Exactly, I'm confident this time" Chase says.
"What's the plan?" Bree asks "uh...attack!?" Kaz says "look, first we'll compete against Harper and Chase, I can take her down if you distract Chase" Bree says.
"how?" Kaz ask "Remember I said he's competitive when his ego is threatened, he usually ends up failing because he gets too excited trying to prove otherwise" Bree smirk "Wow you are cold and calculating...where have you been all my life!" Kaz says he and Bree high five.
The two look into each other's eyes for a second, Bree gives a slight smile and Kaz blushes, Kaz clears his throat and leaves, Bree takes a deep breath, "what's going on?" Bree says to herself confused.
......................................................................
Everyone goes to the pool, Skylar climbs on Oliver's back "are you sure you can handle it?" Skylar asks "yeah, I have super strength, why?" Oliver says "because I feel like you're going to break at any moment" Skylar asks.
"oh Skylar you have no idea how much I can take" Olive says "what does that mean?" Skylar asks "I don't really know" Oliver says.
Harper climbs onto Chase's back and Bree climbs onto Kaz's "ready to fall?" Harper says "that's what I ask you" Bree says "Okay, three two one... now!" Gary says.
Bree and Harper start pushing each other while Chase and Kaz try to hold them both on their backs "She's heavy, right?" Kaz says trying to shake Chase, but he used the worst way to do it.
Bree looks at him and Chase and Harper glares at him "Did you just call my girlfriend fat?" Chase says "No, but it sounded like I did, my bad" Kaz says.
Bree and Harper continue to fight "I was just trying to say you can't handle her" Kaz says "of course I can don't you see" Chase says "oh yeah but we'll see how long" Kaz says.
"Oh are you Challenging me?" Chase says "Chase don't give in to his talk" Harper says try to take Bree down.
"yes I'm challenging you to the challenge, I doubt you can hold her with one arm" Kaz says "I can do it!" Chase says "I doubt it" Kaz laughs.
"I can do it, see" Chase says "Chase no!" Harper says, Chase stops holding her on his back with both arms and uses just one, she slightly loses her balance.
"Chase!" Harper says irritated "Relax, everything is under control" Chase says, Bree tries to push Harper "No, it's not, use both arms!!" Harper says.
Bree tries to knock Harper down and she loses her balance "No no!!" Harper says she starts to fall Chase tries to hold her and fails, Harper falls into the water.
"Wooahh!!" Bree celebrates, Harper goes to the surface of the water, brushing her wet hair out of her face "Sorry" Chase says "Sorry!? What was that?" Harper says throwing water on Chase.
"Uh.." Chase says "What happened to the intelligence part in intelligence beats strength huh?" Harper says "I know it was really stupid" Chase says.
Skylar and Oliver beat the middle-aged couple, and soon after Kaz and Bree beat them with a strategy similar to the one they used against Harper and Chase.

Score: Hase I, Skoliver 0, Braz I
Bree and Kaz are still in the pool "Would you believe we won!!" Bree says excitedly "I know! If we keep this up I think we can really win!" Kaz says.
"I know, I was on the fence about this at first but now I really think..." Bree says approaching him "What?" Kaz says "we work really well together" Bree says with a slight smile.
"Do you say in the competition or..." Kaz says "maybe not just in the competition but always..." Bree says shyly, Kaz smiles but he looks away.
"of course we are friends" Kaz says "I think so" Bree says quietly "what do you mean? You think so?" Kaz chuckles "Uh I..." Bree says looking into his eyes.
"Come on guys, we have more challenges" Skylar shouts to them, she and Oliver are drying off heading to the beach.
"Sorry Skylar" Oliver says "what?" Skylar says "I'm sorry I just made us lose I'm a disaster of a boyfriend you don't deserve this" Oliver says.
"Oh Oliver don't say that, it's just a silly game, Bree and Kaz won and they aren't even a couple" Skylar says "that's what worries me, maybe they have more chemistry than us" Oliver says upset and leaves, Skylar sighs.
Harper looks at them "Okay, the next challenge is a race, there's no way we can lose in this race if we're synchronized" Chase says, analyzing the race track.
"Um Chase, we already won a challenge, I'm already happy about that, aren't you!?" Harper says "Yes, but we haven't proven it to them yet!" Chase is excited about the competition and the competitive spirits get to his head.
"Why are you so invested in this?" Harper says "because it's a fact Harper, and facts need to be proven!" Chase says "Chase, I think...""Come on!" Chase takes her hand and they both leave.
......................................................................
Everyone is at the start, each couple is side by side, each with their feet and hands tied to their partner's.
"Okay this is a simple race my lovebirds, just be in sync with your partner and whoever arrives first wins" Gary says.
"So Bree..." Kaz looks at their tied feet "I plan to swim later and for that I need my foot so if you could not super speed while we're like this...I would be very grateful" Kaz says with a smile, Bree laughs.
Kaz is surprised that she finds it funny "relax I promise I won't, and you can't wear bionics in the competition so" Bree says "is my foot safe?" Kaz chuclkes "totally" Bree says.
"Okay, three two one...go!" Gary says, all the couples start walking quickly to the finish line.
Harper and Chase are well ahead, in sync, Harper looks at Oliver and Skylar, they are doing well, however, Oliver seems upset.
Bree and Kaz follow close behind, almost passing Oliver and Skylar, Harper is thoughtful, they are almost at the finish line.
She starts to walk slower, losing synchronization with Chase's walk "Harper what are you doing?" Chase says "competing" Harper says, Chase tries to keep up with her, when he succeeds she walks faster.
"We have to walk together!" Chase says seeing Skylar and Oliver pass them "I know!" Harper says "so?" Chase says uncomfortably.
Harper realizes that Bree and Kaz are going to catch up with Oliver and Skylar, she uses her molecularkinesis to make Kaz slip and Skylar and Oliver continue to have the upper hand.
Kaz falls into the sand and Bree ends up falling on top of him "I'm sorry I don't know how I..." Kaz says "it's okay!" Bree says, she puts her hair behind her ear.
She looks Kaz in the eyes and smiles, Kaz smiles back, he puts his hand on her waist, it's as if they don't see time passing.
Bree looks at Kaz's hair and she slightly raises her hand, but lowers it again as if she thought about running her hand through his hair.
"Uh Bree" Kaz says "yeah!" Bree says in a distant and anxious tone "As interesting as this situation is...I kind of need you to get off me so I can get up" Kaz says "Oh..." Bree laughs nervously.
"it makes sense, my bad" Bree says, Kaz gently removes his hand from her waist so she can stand up.
Meanwhile Oliver and Skylar won the race "Yeah!!! We won!" Oliver says excitedly "Yes!" Skylar says looking back seeing what really happened when she sees Harper and Chase walking awkwardly and Bree and Kaz lying in the sand.
"Maybe there's still hope for us!" Oliver says "Oliver, that doesn't mean anything about whether we have chemistry or not" Skylar says, Oliver sighs.
"I know but it would be nice to feel that" Oliver says "what do you mean?" Skylar ask "Skylar, we're dating and we've never done a lot of things that couples do, like walk holding hands, or...share a milkshake with two straws" Oliver says, Skylar thinks.
"and whenever I invite you to something like this you usually refuse, that's why I get so excited about little things" Oliver says "I had no idea this was so important to you" Skylar says.
"of course it is, I want you to feel a connection, you know, not just use the term dating as a label" Oliver says "I don't know how to do this" Skylar says shyly.
"neither do I but if you really give me a chance, we can learn together" Oliver says "Okay, I promise I'll try to work harder on this, just know that I really like you Oliver, it's just hard for me to show it" Skylar says "you not abandoning me so far says a lot" Oliver laughs.

Score: Hase I, Skoliver I, Braz I
Harper and Chase go to the stage for the last challenge.
"what was that?" Chase says "That what?" Harper says "did you sabotage us?" Chase says, Harper gasps "of course not!" Harper says.
"Why did you delay your pace that was perfectly in sync with mine?" Chase says "So we can go slower, duh!?" Harper says.
"Why!?" Chase says "it wasn't supposed to sabotage us, I would never do that" Harper says "it wasn't what it seemed like to me" Chase says, Harper rolls her eyes.
They're in front of tables with whipped cream pies, Chase looks around "great, a quiz game with pie in the face, it's a good thing I'm great at quiz games and no one is going to sabotage me in this one" Chase says, Harper shakes her head.
"oh yeah you're saying that you're going to come out clean from the pie in the face game by not getting any questions wrong?" Harper says looking at one of the pies "exactly!" Chase says "wrong!" Harper throws the whipped cream pie in Chase's face.
"why did you do that?" Chase says taking whipped cream out of his eyes "Firstly because I always wanted to do that with someone" Harper laughs, Chase glares at her.
"Okay, and have you ever wanted someone to do it to you?" Chase says and throws a pie in her face, Harper gasps in surprise "Oh you didn't do that!?" Harper says, Chase smirk.
The two start to fight by throwing the whipped cream at each other, and trying to stop each other at the same time, they both seem irritated but little by little they start to find it amusing.
"okay that's enough!" Harper holds Chase's arms, he sighs "Chase what are we doing?" Harper asks "trying to prove to them we're better" Chase says.
"Why?" Harper asks, Chase thinks "we don't need to prove anything to anyone" Harper says.
"We know we are the best, every day we prove this to ourselves without even trying, We both know we work well together, we don't need that so we feel good about having each other" Harper says, Chase sighs.
"We don't need it, but they do.." Harper points out to Oliveir Skylar, "they're at the beginning of everything. They need to know if they work well together or not, It's an important experience for them and we're ruining it" Harper says.
"They need to prove to themselves that they can be a good couple...like us" Harper goes Chase and wipes the whipped cream that fell on his chest "Maybe you're right" Chase says.
"Maybe?" Harper tilts her head, Chase shakes his head "You're right...we're great and I never doubted that even for a second, okay, they'd be so lucky if they had what we have" Chase smiles.
"Hey, what we have is ours, let them find what they have" Harper says, Chase chuckles, Harper wipes some of the whipped cream off Chase's mouth and chin and kisses him gently.
"Sorry, I didn't realize i was being competitive" Chase says "My mission is to take care of this, but relax I love your competitive side" Harper says.
"I also love the part about you that threw a pie in my face" Chase says slightly frustrated "I'm sorry but when you see a whipped cream pie and a face you need to do something about it" Harper says.
"You're right" Chase says holding her face he gently licks the whipped cream off her cheek, Harper laughs wrinkling her nose, she looks at him and kisses him again.
Gary approaches "Hey! You two save some for the prize, if in case you win" Gary says.
Everyone gets together for the quiz game, it was the game that would break the tie.
"okay, each couple will have to answer personal questions about their partner for each wrong answer a pie in the face..." Gary explains.
"so, let's let them win?" Chase ask "Yes, I think it's the right thing to do" Harper smiles.
"This is the last game" Bree says "yeah, look, I know we could cheat by just each saying the answer is right without it being, but it would be cool if we were honest on this one" Kaz says.
"Are you saying you know the answers to the questions about me?" Bree smirk "Well, we've been living together for a year, I think it's time to get to know a little about you" Kaz says "Okay let's give it a chance" Bree says.
......................................................................
At the end of the competition Gary is about to announce the winning couple, Skylar takes Oliver's hand.
"promise you won't be upset if we don't win?" Skylar says "I promise, at the end of it all it doesn't matter because I have you, and I don't need competition to know that you're the best girlfriend I could have" Oliver says.
"aw really?" Skylar says "yes, you may not be like the others but...I love you for your unique way" Oliver smiles "Do you love me?" Skylar asks, Oliver widens his eyes "uh well..." "I love you too" Skylar interrupts, Oliver smiles and kisses Skylar lightly.
Bree and Kaz are waiting for the result, Kaz looks at the sand and sees a small shell, he picks it up and takes the sand out of it, dipping it in the sea.
"Here, for you!" Kaz gives the shell to Bree, she frowns with a smile "why?" Bree ask taking the shell.
"What am I going to do with a shell?" Kaz chuckles "what do you think I'm going to do with a shell?" Bree asks "lots of things, you can make an earring or a necklace" Kaz says, Bree presses her lips together, so she can avoid saying Aww.
"Just use your imagination" Kaz says scratching the back of his head "Thank you Kaz, it's beautiful" Bree says looking at the shell, Kaz smiles.
Harper is waiting for the results when Chase suddenly appears and hugs her from behind, lifting her and gently spinning her around.
"Chase! What happened?" Harper laughs, Chase kisses her cheek "Come walk on the beach with me!" Chase says taking her hand.
"but they're about to announce the winner" Harper says "I don't care who won or lost...all I care about right now is you" Chase says pulling her jacket to make her come closer to him, Harper smiles.
"Okay let's go" Harper holds his hand and they both start walking along the beach dipping their feet in the sea.
Gary takes the stage "It was a busy afternoon, I want to congratulate all the couples who participated, you all did very well, but as we can only have one winning couple for one prize, so...The couple with the most points is..." Gary opens the envelope.
"Bree and Kaz!!" Gary says "What!?" Bree and Kaz say in surprise "They're not even a couple!" Oliver says, Skylar hits his arm "I mean congratulations guys, you're soulmates" Oliver says clapping his hands.
"Woah really?" Kaz says, Gary approaches with the prize envelope "congratulations, in the last challenge you were the couple who knew the most about each other, that guaranteed you victory" Gary says, Bree and Kaz look at each other awkwardly.
"Thank you" they both say, Kaz hands Bree the envelope "well, here it is, as agreed" Kaz sighs "I really appreciate Kaz I...I had a lot of fun today, more than I expected" Bree smiles "me too, it was worth it" Kaz says.
"but..." Bree looks at Oliver and Skylar "I think you deserve this award more than me" Bree says she hands them the envelope "No, we can't accept it" Skylar says.
"I insist, you deserve this time for yourself, I know how much it means to you" Bree says "Wow thanks Bree" Oliver says.
"I was going to go alone, what's the point in that when I can stay at home with..." Bree looks at Kaz "uh with friends" Bree says her voice cracks, Kaz smiles.
......................................................................
Later Bree and Kaz are sitting in the sand, Kaz is with some tools working with the shell he gave Bree.
"And here it is!" Kaz shows Bree a necklace with the seashell as a pendant "Wow, that looks amazing!" Bree says impressed.
"yeah I come from a long line of craftsmen" Kaz says "really?" Bree says "not exactly, but an uncle of mine tried to paint pictures once" Kaz chuckles.
He brushes aside Bree's hair and puts the necklace on her, Bree doesn't stop looking at him while he does this, she takes a deep breath.
"ready!" Kaz says "how do I look ?" Bree ask adjusting the necklace "Amazing" Kaz says, Bree smiles.
"Kaz do you want..." "Kaz!" Oliver invites Kaz to play volleyball "I'm going!" Kaz says, he looks at Bree "what did you want to ask?" Kaz asks "nothing I was just going to drink something" Bree says.
"oh I promised Oliver I would play volleyball" Kaz says "I know no problem, I'm going to find Grace anyway" Bree says "oh okay" Kaz says he gets up and goes to Oliver.
Bree sighs and puts her head on her knees "what's happening to me!?" Bree says frustratedly to herself "What is happening to you!?" Grace suddenly appears with Drew, Bree jumps in shock.
"Grace! Don't do that, you scared me" Bree says "are you okay Bree?" Drew asks "hi Drew, yes I'm fine" Bree says, Grace looks at Bree thoughtfully.
"Drew can you give me a minute with Bree?" Grace says "sure, I'm going there with the guys" Drew says leaving, Grace sits next to Bree.
"Are you going to tell me what's going on?" Grace says, Bree sighs "Grace, I'm going to tell you something that's been happening to me lately, you're going to think I'm crazy, you need to promise not to tell anyone!" Bree says.
"I told you what I do best is keep a secret" Grace says "Okay...I kind of...I think I...like Kaz" Bree says, Grace frowns.
"you say you like him, in the sense I like him, he's my friend or in the sense you have a crush on him?" Grace ask, Bree sighs.
"I think I'm having a crush on him" Bree says, Grace's eyes widen and she covers her mouth with her hands.
"on Kaz!?" Grace says, Bree nods "Aw...but it's Kaz!" Grace says confused "I know, I'm going crazy" Bree puts her hand on her face, Grace stays silent.
"this is the part where you say "no Bree you're not it's perfectly reasonable for you to have a crush on Kaz!"" Bree says irritated "Sorry, I'm still trying to understand... why Kaz?" Grace says.
"I don't know, I just... I suspect he's had feelings for me for a while, and that really made me think, and today we spent an incredible amount of time together, I never realized how cute he is and oddly enough, he's careful and funny... and because he's Kaz, he has this way, he's different from all the other guys I've ever been with and I think I like that" Bree says looking at Kaz with the boys.
"Oh that's so cute...but it's Kaz!" Grace says indignantly, Bree rolls her eyes.
"you never questioned Harper for liking Chase like that, what's the difference now?" Bree says irritated "It's just that I never said this in front of Harper for fear of her killing me, but I admit that I think Chase is hot, now Kaz is just..." Grace doesn't finish the sentence.
Bree galares at her "I'm sorry, but seriously, Kaz is a great guy, I think you guys would be great together" Grace says.
"I don't know, I think I better try to forget" Bree says, Grace looks at her thoughtfully and hugs Bree to comfort her.
