"A camping?" Oliver blinked but then, smiled back to his best friend. "Sounds fun…"
"Well… I do suppose it would be a little amusing…" Robert rested as hand on his chin. "Fine, I'm in!"
"Johnny?" Enrique turned to the lazy-boy on the couch. "Sure, whatever!" "Alright then! We're leaving first thing tomorrow morning!" Enrique said as he walked out of the room with Oliver beside him.
"What? That soon?" Johnny fell to the ground as he stumbled to get up. "Why? Is there anything the matter?" Enrique asked. "No! It's just that-" Johnny paused.
"You just?"
"Well… I need some more time to prepare!" Johnny explained. "Have your servants do it, then!" Robert answered snobbishly. "NO! I mean- no… I need to prepare it myself!" he said. "You're acting very strangely, Johnny!" Oliver sighed.
"Oh, never mind! I'll start packing right now!" Johnny complained. "Do you want me to order Gustav to bring you home?" Robert asked. "No thanks! I'm walking home!" Johnny called back and stomped away.
"That was… weird!" Oliver blinked.

"What's taking Johnny so long? The plane is about to leave!" Enrique looked at his wristwatch. "Ah! There he is!" Oliver pointed and came Johnny with his limo. Bringing out a dozen of luggage. "What are all of those for?" Robert asked as he walked up to him.
"It's none of your business…" Johnny blushed. "Yes it is… we're riding a plane and we're not going to carry all of those!" Robert pointed. "What are inside all of those bags anyway?"
"Insect repellants, insect repellants and more insect repellants!" Johnny snapped. "Don't tell me you hate being bitten by insects…" Oliver chuckled. "It's not that! I- it's just that…"
"Yeah?" The three of his friends wondered. "Never mind! I'll tell you when we get to the woods, okay?" Johnny pouted. "Fine, suit yourself!" Enrique said as he got on the plane followed by Oliver and Robert. "I want you to ditch 3 of your bags! I'm only allowing you to bring 8!" Robert snapped. "Fine!" Johnny yelled.

"Let's set camp where there are a lot of trees! That way, we would get some shade whenever it rains!" Oliver suggested as they started building their tent. "Are you sure you don't want to sleep in a motel, Master Robert?" Gustav walked up to Robert. "No, thanks, Gustav! We want to try how it feels to sleep out here for a while!" Robert said as Gustav gave one last bow and left.
Enrique got hold of the long poles and helped Oliver when he noticed Johnny was looking around nervously. Enrique walked up to his friend and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Hey!" "AH!" Johnny jumped up and backed away from Enrique. "Hey! It's just me… you don't have to be that frightened!"
"Don't scare me like that!" Johnny yelled. "Sorry, man! What were you doing looking around strangely?" Enrique asked oddly. "Just… looking for some beasts…"
"What?" "I mean- checking if there are any beasts… you know… bears, wolves, squirrels…"
"Squirrels? You're afraid of squirrels?" Enrique started to chuckle. "Alright! All right! I admit it! I'm afraid of squirrels, okay?" Enrique burst out in laughter and caught both Robert's and Oliver's attention. "Don't tell them-" "Guys! Look what I just found out!"
"Enrique, shut up!"
"Johnny's afraid of squirrels!" With that, Robert and Oliver started laughing as well. Leaving Johnny with a red face. Both in embarrassment and in anger. "Enrique, I'm gonna kill you!" he said as he pinned Enrique to the ground.
"Hey, man! It was funny! I can't help it!" Enrique laughed as he pushed Johnny off of him. "Is that why you had to bring so many insect repellants for?" Oliver asked. "Yeah!" Enrique answered roughly. "Well, Johnny! You can't send squirrels away by just some mere insect repellants! Besides... they're harmless! What could they do to you?"
"Nibble your toes until they all become soggy!" Johnny answered nervously. "Eeww! That's disgusting!" Robert said. "See? Even Robert agrees with me!" Johnny pointed. "Well, at least I'm not that afraid of them!" Robert defended.
"Well… this just gave me an idea!" Oliver said as he stood up. "Let's go hiking!"

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I don't wanna go! I don't wanna go! I don't wanna GO-ho…" Johnny complained as Robert and Enrique dragged him deep into the woods. "Don't worry, Johnny! Enrique, Robert and I would be here if ever deadly squirrels starts attacking us!" Oliver said sarcastically.
"Very funny, Polanski! I'm laughing my eyes out!" Johnny raised an eyebrow. "Don't be such a cry baby!" Oliver said as he held his backpack tight. "Well… we're far away from camp now! I guess we could let go of him now!" Robert said as he dropped Johnny's hand on the cold ground, so did Enrique.
"If you want to go back then you'll have to walk back alone!" Robert said. "Be careful if you ever see any squirrels running about!" Enrique waved as they walked farther away. "Guys, wait! I'm coming with you!" Johnny called.
He finally caught up and panted for a while as he held both his knees. "Glad you decided to join us!" Enrique smiled. "Yeah, whatever!" Johnny said as he brushed off his sweat.
"Stop wasting your time and let's go!" Robert called impatiently. "Alright, alright!" Johnny said as he looked around. "Hey, wait a minute! Where's Oliver?"
