Steven was first to walk up to the rock climbing wall. Everyone else following behind him.

"Let's get this going." He says, "Oh, my God. You think I can do it right now ?"

"Do it, bro." Dakota says as they stand to the side.

"Here he goes. Go for it, dude." Jeremiah says

"No, no, no, you actually can't do that without a harness." A worker yells as he runs up.

"Cam ?" Belly laughs

"Cam Cameron ? No way !" Jeremiah smiles

"Yeah."

"Wait, are we in trouble ?" Dakota says

"Oh. I mean, officially, there's no horseplay on or around the rock wall, but unofficially, it's the most exciting thing to happen all day." Cam smiles

"What are you doing here ? I thought Nicole said that you were doing some internship on a fancy whaling boat." Belly says as she walks up to him.

"That fell through."

"I'm sorry to hear that. This uniform, though ? Super cool. Very official."

"Thanks, Belly."

"Skye ! I forgot you haven't met Cam yet." Belly gasps, "Um, Skye, this is Cam Cameron. Cam Cameron, this is Skye, Conrad and Jeremiah's cousin."

"Okay, well, great catching up with you, seeing you again." Steven rambles. "Yeah, but we have some unfinished business." He says pointing to Taylor

"Let's go ! Yup."

"It's you and me now, Tay-Tay."

Cam helps them with the harness. Everyone looks up at the top of the wall as they wait for them to start.

"I always knew we'd end up here." Taylor says

"What ? Where ?"

"Me beating your ass into the ground."

"Oh, please." Steven scoffs.

"Oh, come on, Taylor. You got this in the bag." Liz says

"Hey. Bring it home, Steve-O." Jeremiah says

"Take it home." Conrad says

"First one to the flag wins. And... go !" Cam yells

"Come on, Steven !"

"You got it, Steven !"

"Come on, Taylor, you got it. It's easy." Belly says

"Let's go, Steve-O !" Dakota yells

"Go !"

"Steven !"

The teens yell over each other as they watch Taylor and Steven race up the wall.

"Get there !" Jeremiah yells

"You got it."

Liz groans as Steven grabs the flag.

"Steven got it !" Cam cheers, "Steven wins !"

"Whoo !"

"Thank God."

"It's too easy. That's too easy !" Steven says as Taylor makes her way down

"Shut up !"

"Coming down, boys. Whoo !"

"Yes, sir. Bring it home. Bring it home."

"Attaboy, Steve-O."

Taylor groans as she approaches the girls. "I was so close, babe."

"It's okay. Hey, don't worry about it. I love being the underdog. It fuels me." Belly says

"So where to next ?" Cam asks

"It's their call." Liz says as Conrad approaches

"Well, I don't know about you, Liz, but I think it might be time to Shoot your Shot." He says as he mocks her

"Oh, yeah. It's time for me to kick your ass." She says as she mocks him. He smiles as she rolls her eyes playfully.

She follows behind him as he leaves the wall. Dakota and Jeremiah instigating as they follow.

"Too bad for you, basketball is about angles." Conrad says as he holds the basketball

"Mm. Too bad for you, I had such a great statistics tutor." She smiles mockingly

"Thank you."

"Okay, five balls each. Most baskets win. On your marks, get set..." Cam starts

"Come on, Connie !" Jeremiah says

"Come on, Liz ! You got this !" Belly says

"Shoot !" Cam yells and Conrad immediately tosses the ball.

"Ooh !" Steven says as Conrad makes the basket.

"In your face !"

"All right. Okay, I let you have that one, so you don't bitch when I win."

"Okay, sure, you did. Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Come on, Lizzie." River yells. Liz shoots and makes it.

"Whoa, nice !" Taylor says

Conrad shoots again and makes it. "Oh, he's on fire !" Jeremiah says

"I mean..."

Liz shoots again and cheers as she makes it. "Hey !"

"Nice."

"Wow, wow, wow." Cam cheers.

Conrad shoots and scores as the boys cheer.

"We got a game !"

Liz shoots and makes it. River smiles wide as she cheers with the girls.

"It's tied. Three to three."

"Nice shot, Liz." Jeremiah says

"Wrong team, bro." Steven groans

"What ?"

"Let's go, baby !" Dakota yells. Conrad looks over at Liz and covers the side of his face as he shoots. The boys cheer as he makes it. 

"Oh." Liz mocks. She covers the side of her face and shoots just like he did. River screams as she makes it.

"Good job, Liz." Belly cheers

"All net, Liz." Taylor yells

"Go, Liz." Skye says

"Come on, Connie, come on, baby !" Steven yells. The boys groan when he misses.

"All right !"

"That was close."

"That is four for Conrad. This is the last shot. Will Liz take the five-fecta and snatch the win ?" Cam says

"You got it, Lizzie." River claps

"You got nothing. You got nothing." Conrad says as Liz looks over at him.

"Oh. I got nothing ?" She says. He shakes his head with a smile.

"Let's go, Liz. You got this."

Liz takes the shot. The ball leans on the side of the net before it goes in. Liz screams as she makes it. River coming over to hug her as the girls follow her.

"Liz Anderson is the winner !" Cam yells

"Yes !" Taylor says as she high fives Liz.

"Boom ! Guess you can't cosign her angles." Skye says as they stand in front of Conrad

"Whoa, wait. Wait, Skye. Did you just math-taunt him ?" Taylor asks

Liz laughs as she turns to River.

"I did. And it-it was kind of fun."

"It was so good. It was so good." Taylor laughs as she high fives Skye

"As much as it pains me to say it, it was a good win." Conrad says as he walks up to Liz.

"Yeah, well, I told you I'd kick your ass, so..." Liz smiles as she shrugs

"I think you get to pick a prize." He says. The girl looks around at the stuffed animals hanging on the net.

"Uh, it's kind of crowded. Do you want to go sit
on the pier instead ?" Liz says as she looks up at Conrad. Her brown hair in a high ponytail.

"I was thinking we could play some ring toss." He says as they walk around the boardwalk.

Liz sighs as she watches him stare at a girl with short red hair. "Okay, come with me." She says as she grabs his hand.

She pulls him to the stand as they stop in front of the girl. "How many rings ?" She asks with a smile.

"We'll take three." Liz says, "I like your shorts."

"Thanks."

"Yeah, they're really nice." Conrad says

Liz frowns, "I thought you said they were too short when I wore the exact same ones two days ago."

Conrad tilts his head as she stares back up at him.

"Do you think they're too short ?" The girl asks

Liz looks between them. "All right, Connie, I'm
gonna go get a pretzel. So, win me a prize, okay ?"

He watches as she walks away.

"How come you never came back ?"

"The line for the... the Ferris wheel was really long." She nods

"Angie said this is the best prize they have." Conrad says as he holds out a monkey with multicolored stripes. "I thought you might like it."

"Thanks. I appreciate it." She says as she takes it. She walks off as he stands there. He slowly follows behind her.

"Oh, wow. They haven't changed these prizes in years." Conrad chuckles softly. "You can get Chimp a friend."

"Yeah." She smiles. "You know what ? I'll actually take the owl." The worker hands her the rainbow owl. "Thank you."

She looks over at Conrad who has a faint smile on his face.

"All right ! So we finally get to pick, and I choose dancing."

"Okay !" They cheer
