"Hey, where are the guys?" Katelyn (the Kat) asked closing the car door. "Weren't they right behind us in their car?"

"They got stopped by a couple of red lights." Hannah (Incarseron) stated, pulling her bag out of the car's trunk.

"C'mon let's just wait for 'em by the water!" Jessie (Jester) exclaimed, holding a towel and her favorite umbrella.

"Shouldn't we set up our tents first?" Claire questioned.

"Eh," Jessie shrugged as she began walking down the path through the woods. "It's still pretty early! We've got time."

"Makes sense. I think..." Carrie (Mystic) replied. She waved her hand and the bags floated from the open trunk and hovered in the air around her.

"HEY!" exclaimed Claire. "No powers! This week is a 'no-powers-vacation-week.'" She proceeded to pluck one of the bags from the air.

"Ugh!" Jessie moaned. "All this talkin' and no swimming is startin' to bore me, I'm headin' for the wat-uh." She continued her walking, ignoring the protests from the others. FInally they all conceded and followed Jessie down the path. After an hour of walking they finally arrived at a small beach that connected the forest to the lake.

"This water actually looks really nice." Carrie said as she put her towel down and laid down on it. The other girls followed suit.

"HEY!" they heard someone shout. They turned to see Robbie, (the Scarlett Glider), standing at the edge of the forest. "GUYS! I FOUND THE GIRLS!" He waved down to the girls as the other guys arrived, Daniel(Night Spider), Ryan (Rhino), and Robin (Telekid). The girls blushed as they saw that the guys were all in their swim suits. Hannah nealy cried out when she saw how adorable her younger brother looked. The girls couldn't help but stare as the guys walked down the beach towards them.

"Hope we didn't keep you guys waiting to long." Daniel sheepishly said as he tried to avoid looking at Jessie's swim suit.

"Not at all, sweetheart." She winked at him, causing him to blush.

"W-well I'm going to head into the water n-now." he stuttered. After setting down his towel, he ran for the water, shooting a web-line out to a nearby tree and using it to swing into the water.

The other guys followed suit except for Robin, who stood there looking at his sister for a moment.

"Hey, sis?" He said quietly.

"Yeah, little brother?" she responded.

"Um... could you help me swim...? ...Please?" He practically mumbled as he gripped onto his swim tube a little tighter.

"Sure thing little brother." Hannah stood up and walked with Robin to the water.

"Awww..." The girls cooed as they watched. Jessie took that moment to move her towel next to Daniel's.

Claire got up after a minute and started for the water herself. She stopped when she realized she was the only one and turned to the remaining girls. "Hey, aren't any of you coming into the water?"

"Sorry Claire, cats don't like water." Katelyn responded as she stretched.

"I burn too easily." Carrie stated.

"And I don't want to miss the show." Jessie giggled. as she watched the guys messing around in the water. Claire glared at her.

"That's my brother over there." She exclaimed. "Besides, aren't you dating Daniel?"

"Hon," Jessie said casually. "Who do ya' think I'm starin' at right now?" Claire sighed as she continued her walk to the water.

She saw Daniel and Ryan were 'fighting' in the water, while Robbie was trying to stand on the surf board he had brought and failing. She noticed out of the corner of her eye Hannah trying to teach Robin how to swim. Claire sighed at the coolness of the water and just allowed herself to float.

It went on like this for awhile, before Daniel got out of the water and laid down on his towel.

"Tired?" Jessie asked, turning onto her side to face him.

"That guy is exhausting to fight..." he mumbled. "Even when it's fake fighting..." He turned his head to face Jessie, but saw her swim suit and quickly turned away, trying to hold down the blush forming on his face.

"Y'know Daniel," Jessie said while scooting closer to him. "We are dating, so if you want to look at me in my swim suit it's fine." She placed her hand on Daniel's face and gently turned it to face her. She found herself staring into his eyes as she slowly closed the distance between their lips.

"OH my gosh!" Kate suddenly shouted, startling Jessie and Daniel. "Everyone! We forgot Sunscreen!" She shouted as she pulled out a few bottles of it. The others quickly came over. Claire was the first there and took a bottle, turning to her brother.

"Lay down," She told him. "I'll put it on you, okay?" He nodded and laid down on his towel. Hannah was next as she began to explain it to Robin.

"Hold still for me okay?"

"But sis," He stopped her. "What's it for?"

"It keeps you from getting sun-burnt." She said as she began applying it to her little brother. Robbie was taking awhile to get to them as he was trying to surf over. Kate turned to Daniel as she shook the second-to-last bottle.

"Here, I'll put some of it on for you." She began to walk over when she was stopped by Jessie, who grabbed the bottle from her.

"Sorry hon," She said. "But if anyone's gonna apply sunscreen for him, it's gonna be me."

"What? What does it matter? He needs sunscreen doesn't he?"

"Yeah, but as his girlfriend, that job goes to me." She walked over to Daniel who was daydreaming. "Here ya' go sweetie." She said to him as she squirted some onto her hands and began to rub the screen onto his back. Kate sighed as Robbie finally came over.

"Here, Robbie, let me do your back for you, okay?" Kate asked.

"Hm? Alright." Robbie replied, shrugging.

"Okay, that's everywhere." Hannah said as she finished applying the lotion to Robin. "C'mon, I think you've almost got the hang of swimming." Robin grabbed her hand and pulled her with him into the water.

"Alrighty Daniel, that's everythin'." Jessie exclaimed. "Ok, time for the front!"

"Hey, don't you want me to do you?" Daniel asked.

"Huh?" Jessie squeeked. Daniel held up the bottle up and shook it. "Oh, yeah, yes please." She laid down as Daniel squirted the sun-screen into his hands.

A few minutes later and everyone was done, and headed back to where they were. Daniel laid down on his towel, and closed his eyes. Jessie went back onto her side as she watched him.

"Yo Claire!" Ryan called out. "I'll be right back, I'm gonna look for a good spot to set up the tents quick and mark it." Claire nodded as she floated there. Ryan walked off into the woods. An hour later, he found a good clearing. He placed a large stake in the ground, and began to walk back.

He stopped when he heard a rustling in the nearby bushes. He stood there, his fists raised, ready to strike, while his feet were planted firmly in the ground. He waited. The rustling happened again, behind him this time. He turned quickly, only to find the rustling to be beside him. He turned, striking the ground, barely mising the rabbit that was at his feet. He sighed as he removed his hand from the small hole he made. The rabbit running off into the forest.

He arrived back at the beach to find Jessie laying really close to Daniel. So close, in fact, that their noses were touching. He let them be, as he ran towards the web Daniel had fired earlier. As he ran he grabbed it and used his momentum to send himself far out into the water. Creating a huge splash as he landed.

"AGH!" Daniel sat up suddenly at the sound of Ryan splashing as hard as he did. He looked around for a moment before realizing what had woken him, and sighed in relief. He felt something holding his arm. He turned to see Jessie laying down next to him, her hand on his shoulder, and one eye slightly open.

"Hon..." She mumbled.

"Uh, yeah?" Daniel responded. "Do you need a drink or something?"

"Shut up, and lay down with me..." Jessie pulled Daniel to his back as she laid herself on top of him.

"J-J-Jessie!" He exclaimed. "Y-y-you can't- I mean- get off- we shouldn't-" Jessie silenced him with a single kiss to his lips.

"Now shut up..." She mumbled.

"Yes, dear." He muttered.

Carrie rolled her eyes as she waved her hands, making a gallon of water float over the two's heads, and dropped it onto them.

"Knock it off you two." She shouted at them. Daniel stood up very quickly at that, his eyes wide open. Jessie glared daggers at Carrie, who was now smirking.

"Why you little-!" Jessie began running after Carrie, who was running away from her. Daniel just sat down on his towel, exasperated.

A few more hours passed, and the sun began to set, so the group decided to move towards the site that Ryan had found earlier and set up their tents.

"So how many tents do we have?" asked Daniel, who was holding hands with a somewhat tired Jessie.

"We have four large tents." Claire began. "And one small tent."

"So some of us will have to sleep with someone else?" Carrie asked.

"Yeah, that's right." Claire responded. "So, who wants to sleep with who?"

"I'll sleep with my precious spider!" Jessie exclaimed quickly.

"Alright...?" Carrie said. "Who else then?"

"I'd like to sleep with my big sister..." Robin yawned. Hannah bent down and picked him up and hugged him.

"Same here actually." Ryan said, finishing the first tent.

"And since neither I, nor Carrie would like to sleep in the same tent as Robbie, we'll go ahead and sleep in the same tent." Carrie looked at her and nodded.

"Alright, that's all settled then." Claire clapped as the last tent was finished.

"Robbie, you and Ryan should go look for some fire wood while I set up the pit." Daniel instructed as he began collecting medium-sized rocks.

"Yes, sir." Ryan said as he grabbed a protesting Robbie and walked off. A few minutes later and Ryan and Robbie were bringing back an old dead tree. A very large old dead tree. Meanwhile Daniel had finished building the fire pit.

It then took the three of them a full minute to make a roaring fire.

"Whoo!" Robbie called out, high-fiving Ryan and Daniel. "Alright you guys," Robbie pulled out a bag of marshmallows. "Marshmallow time!" Everyone cheered as Claire took out nine pokers, and handed one to everybody. Time passed as they made s'mores and cooked their marshmellows. After a while, they began telling stories.

"-and so then, the two guys charge at me, and so I dive out of the way, and they both fall over the railing and into a giant vat of fudge." everyone laughed, as Ryan finished his story.

"Ugh, Robin, you have chocolate all over your face." Hannah moaned as she grabbed a napkin and tried to clean Robin's face, much to his dismay. "Alright, this guy needs to go to bed."

"But sis..." Robin groaned. "I'm not... tired..." he yawned as his speech got slower.

"Yeah, okay." Hannah picked Robin up and carried him to their tent. "Goodnight everyone."

"Night!" Everyone replied.

"Well, I should go to bed myself." Ryan said looking at his watch. "I want to get up early and see if I can't catch some fish." He began walking for his tent, when Claire got up and followed him.

"I would like to go fishing, It's been awhile." She said. One by one, the remaining campers went to sleep in their respective tents. Katelyn laid down in her sleeping bag. She turned to Carrie, also in her own sleeping bag.

"Hey Carrie..." Katelyn whispered.

"Yes Kate." She responded.

"Can I ask you something...?"

"You'll still ask even if I say no."

"Thanks. So, I keep trying to just be a good friend for Daniel, and do nice things, but Jessie keeps turning it into this whole thing where I'm trying to get with him or something."

"And your question is...?"

"Well, why does she do that?"

"She's probably just worried that you might try to get back together with him."

"But I'm not! I just want to be good friend..."

"Then maybe you should talk to her alone and explain that to her."

"That's a really smart idea, Carrie. You're really smart, thanks."

"Your welcome." The two of them turned their heads and closed their eyes.

Daniel laid down on top of his sleeping bag, his eyes wide open as his mind was filled with scientific thought. Beside him however, Jessie was having difficulty with getting to sleep.

"Hey Daniel..." Jessie whispered.

"Daniel..." Jessie said a little louder after a moment of no response.

"Hmm?" He mumbled.

"How do I look?" she asked.

"Like you could use some sleep." He chuckled.

"I'm serious..." She said, slightly angrily.

"Hey, how long have we known each other?" He asked.

"Almost two years..." She mumbled.

"And how long have we been dating?"

"A little more than a year and a half..."

"And have I ever said that you looked anything but beautiful?"

"Well, there was that one time..."

"Oh, c'mon, we were in the sewers..."

"I know... I was teasing."

"I think that you are the most beautiful girl i have ever known."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Well, then you wouldn't mind if..." She slowly slipped out from her sleeping bag.

"If what?" Daniel turned to see her on top of her sleeping bag, clad only in her underwear.

"If this..." She closed the distance between them quickly.

THE NEXT MORNING

Daniel woke up to the what sounded like someone tapping on the tent door flap.

"Hello?" He said as he unzipped the flap.

"AGH!" Katelyn cried out as she saw that Daniel was only in his boxers.

"Huh?" He looked down and cried out himself, zipping up the flap most of the way. "What, um, what was that you wanted?" He asked.

"It, uh, it started raining. And everyone wanted to know what we were going to do, so I said I'd ask you." She said.

"Why me?" he asked.

"Well, you're our leader and all, so..."

"Alright, let's just wait it out for right now, everyone just stay in their tents, and if it doesn't clear up in a couple hours, we'll see about leaving. That is my plan for now."

"Alright, maybe put some pants on please?" She asked as she walked off to the other tents to tell the others.

"So 'leader,' what are we gonna do to wait?" Jessie asked with a grin.

"I'm going to try and get more sleep." Daniel said, trying to keep eye contact with Jessie.

"Shame," She said. "'Cuz I'm feeling really cold, and I could use someone to warm me up?"

"Jessie, I need sleep." He firmly said.

"I know, I'm just saying that we could get some sleep togeth-uh."

"Fine, just please, get some rest." He laid down, scooting into his sleeping bag, as Jessie fist-bumped the air.

"Yay!" She squeeled as she slid into his sleeping bag on top of him. "Hey Daniel... Can I tell you somethin'?" she asked.

"Of course," he responded.

"I love you..." a blush came to her face. While Daniel was speechless for a moment.

"Can I tell you something?" Daniel asked after a minute.

"Y-yeah?" She replied.

"I love you too." He whispered in her ear. Just then, Daniel's phone rang. It took him a moment to find it, as he'd left it in his pants pocket. "Hello?" He said as he pressed the answer button. Jessie sighed in annoyance.

"Yo, dude, it's Da-" The voice coughed. "I mean, it's the slinger."

"Yeah? What is it?" Daniel said angrily.

"Well, I'm leading the side team on a mission right now," the Hood started. "And we've hit a problem..." an explosion went off in the background.

"A problem?" Daniel questioned.

"One of your enemies. Windmill, to be exact." Hood said hurriedly now.

"Seriously?" Daniel groaned. "Keep him moving, and don't let his blades build up speed. You should be fine with that. Bye."

"Bu-" Hood was interrupted by Daniel hanging up the phone and turning it off.

"Ready to sleep?" Jessie asked, pulling Daniel's hands to her stomach.

"Definetely." He responded, closing his eyes.
