Slowly, Kyle slips into his class next to his trusted friend. Tracy looks over inquisitively waiting for an answer. The tension continued to build as they exchanged glances for the 50 min class period. Still no answer.
They walked in silence to their next course, Tracy still waiting, Kyle not answering. They avoided looking at each other for fear of Kyle's possibly unwanted answer. The silence was brutal throughout their third course, partially because the professor apparently had some sort of vocal restriction that didn't allow him to use more than one tone throughout his lecture. Almost as if he had been dared to put every member in the class to sleep. This lecture only added to the tension between friends.
Five O'clock rolls around. By now, Kyle and Tracy had been eating dinner for 30 minutes still in silence. Finally Tracy couldn't take it anymore. He had to know. Asked the question as if he had been a balloon filled too far and exploded.
"WHAT happened?!?!? What did you tell them? What were you thinking?!?"
"What do you mean Tracy? I don't know what your talking about. maybe you are just fishing for an answer that I don't have."
"I'm not fishing. You disappeared for 2 hours today after a Professor pulled you out of class. Where were you and how did they find out it was us on the SWKT?"
"Again, you are fishing for an answer i dont have. The professor just asked me about an published paper I wrote."
"O alright. We are good then."
"Yup.. Like a jellyfish in the ocean"
Tracy calmed down and went to his room. Opened the covers laid down. something shot out from underneath his back and fell on the ground... He looked and saw a fish staring him blankly in the face.
"HEY TRACY! Did I mention I went fishing after the professor asked me about the paper?"

Week 12 March 21 - 27
"Tracy, is his blog almost done? I am running out of good ideas,"
"Kyle, you are not running out of good ideas... You can't run out of something you never had. That is just not the way the world turns."
"Very funny Tracy. But c'mon, you gotta give credit where credit is due. Freezing that mouse was the best thing we have ever done."
"Kyle.... That was my idea."
"Not the mouse part."
"Come on now, lets not get into semantics here."
"What do you mean? I love the Jewish people."
"Thats semitism Kyle.... Not semantics. Not exactly the sharpest tool in the crayon box are you?"
"At least i am not dumb enough to keep tools in my crayon boxes. Sucka."
"Yup... You got me Kyle. Now what do you say we go to the Cougareat and try to convince people that you Jimmer Fredette."
"Just because I am tall and have brown curly hair does not mean I am Jimmer."
"Really... Then why are those guys staring at you over there? I am pretty sure its not because they are attracted to you... But those girls over there, thats a different story. They are attracted to you and have no clue that you are Jimmer Fredette."
"Thats because I am not Jimmer Fredette."
"You are now. Go talk to them and introduce yourself as Jimmer and see what they do."
"Not a chance in this world I am doing that."
"I will pay for your date when the one on the right says yes."
"Sold."
"Kyle, you are not running out of good ideas... You can't run out of something you never had. That is just not the way the world turns."
"Very funny Tracy. But c'mon, you gotta give credit where credit is due. Freezing that mouse was the best thing we have ever done."

Week 11 March 14- 20
"So, how about we go do some homework this week instead of doing some stupid thing for some stupid guy's blog that no one reads."
"Well, now thats just preposterous isn't it?"
"How so?"
"Kyle, You can't just do your own homework because you don't want to do anything crazy."
"why not?"
"Its just the way the ball crumbles and the cookie bounces. As a matter of fact. You are not allowed ot do your own homework until you have done at least a portion of somebody elses homework."
"WHAT!?!? That is the most rediculous thing i have EVER heard Tracy. There is no way that makes any sense to anyone."
"What do you mean Kyle. Of all the people it should make sense to, it's definitely you."
"And why is that?"
"You have done this guys homework for 11 weeks now, why not another?"
"Well, you have a point there. I guess I have been doing his homework for him."
"Yup. And you have a few options... You can do somebody elses difficult bookwork ORRR you could do something crazy with me and do that guys homework."
"Game, set, match. what are we doing this week you overexcited mischievous miscreant?"
"The best part about that plan is that this one is all up to you Kyle. I do what you say."
"Any thing?"
"Anything."
"Game on. Grab that kids back pack and start running as fast as you can."
"Well, now thats just preposterous isn't it?"
"How so?"
"Kyle, You can't just do your own homework because you don't want to do anything crazy."

Week 10 March 7 - Mar 13
"Kyle, Kyle!"
"What? What?"
"So I realize what we have been missing out on this whole time!"
"Fishing in the duck pond?"
"Oh, you are good my friend... But I don't think there are many fish in the duck pond... but when it's your week to choose, I am happy to join you."
"Tracy, it is my week to choose."
"No, it most assuredly is not."
"What do you mean? You chose last week what we did, doesn't that mean it is, by default, my choice?"
"Ha! Kyle, it's your week when you actually come up with a good idea."
"Who says fishing in the duck pond wont draw the attention you want?"
"Kyle, fishing in the duck pond is just about as creative as playing Monopoly with your grandmother."
"My grandmother has alzheimers."
"That's why it would be fun. We would give her the ship and the dog and see which one wins."
"Oh, boy, this just gets better and better."
"So, how do you say we do what we have been missing out on."
"You mean you have a better idea than Monopoly huh?"
"We are going to steal road cones and detour signs and pretend like there is a parade... then take everyone in circular detours and see how long it takes for them to figure it out."
"I assume you know where to get the resources..."
"Kyle, Kyle, Kyle... I already stole them!"
"What? What?"
"So I realize what we have been missing out on this whole time!"
"Fishing in the duck pond?"
"Oh, you are good my friend... But I don't think there are many fish in the duck pond... but when it's your week to choose, I am happy to join you."
"Tracy, it is my week to choose."
"No, it most assuredly is not."

Week 9 Feb 28 - Mar 6
"So, that bungee jump was good and all Tracy... but after I blacked out and woke up in the Provo police officer's jail cell, can we think of something a bit more tame this time?"
"Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, That brings up a fantastic point. I am pretty sure i have got something a little better than last time."
"For you, for me, or for the cop that will be arresting us?"
"Yes"
"Bungee jump off of the police building?"
"Kyle, who do you think I am? We are going to take Becky and get her a wedding dress from DI and I will rent a tux while you take wedding photos of us in the MTC. We are going to see how long we can take pictures before we get kicked out."
"Ok, I judged you for the last stunt... but I am willing to get in trouble for this one. How are we gonna get Becky to do that? She may be your friend but she is still a little on the kooky side."
"Oh, about that. I told her you would go on a date with her if we did that."
"Well thank you for prostituting me off to the sisters in the ward."
"Thats what you get for being "so darn lovable" as the girls say."
"yeah yeah, I tell you what if this wasn't such a good idea, I definitely would not be up for that."
"Well, I am glad you are that impressed with the idea because I also told Becky that you would go on three dates with her by the end of the month."
"Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, That brings up a fantastic point. I am pretty sure i have got something a little better than last time."
"For you, for me, or for the cop that will be arresting us?"
"Yes"
"Bungee jump off of the police building?"
