Nikki skips into the mess hall, her best friends neil and max following close behind. "Can you believe it? We're going on an ADVENTURE for today's activity!" max sighs. "It's really truly horrifying." nikki smiles. "That's what's FUN about it!" neil sweats. What's so fun about being scared?" he asks.
Nikki shakes her head. "No, it's about the adrenaline pumping through your veins!" max and neil exchange glances. "Alrighty campers! Today, we're doing nikki's activity!" they groan, and an hour later, they're on the trail.
"Isn't this amazing?!" nikki asks, breathing in. max swats at the bugs flying around him. "Yeah. it's relaxing." he says sarcastically. Nikki giggles climbing up a tree. "Nikki, what the fuck are you doing?" max ask. Nikki stood on the top of the tree. "It's amazing up here!" she says, standing on the branch. "B-be careful!" neil calls up.
"I'm fine, i'm not gonna-" nikki was interrupted by the branch she was standing on cracks and breaks, making nikki fall down the 15 feet high tree. "Whaaaaaaoo!" max and neil widen their eyes she falls, hitting all the branches, on her way down. When she finally makes it down to the ground, she curls in a ball. "Holy shit nikki, are you okay?!" max asks as they run to her.
Nikki whimpers in response. Max kneels down turning her on her back. "Nikki?" max asks, softer. When she doesn't answer, max turns to neil. "Go get david and tell him meet me back at camp nikki's hurt." neil nods, running to find them. Max picks up nikki brides style. Max sighs. "Nikki, you're a fucking idiot.." he says once they make it back at camp. "You're the idiot, m-max.." nikki says, laughing a bit. Max looks down at her. "Nikki? Nikki?" nikki opens one eye and max puts her down on the mess hall bench. "Max, i'm to act dead here!" she says. "Wait so you're not hurt?" he asks.
Nikki shakes her head. "I'm a little sore though." max stood turning pink. "Nikki, what the fuck?!" he screamed, turning to her. Nikki's eyes widen. "Huh?" max balled his fists. "I ACTUALLY thought you were hurt! I ACTUALLY was worried something bad was going to happen to you!" max says, he voice the same tone: Loud. "max.." nikki starts. "Compared to you and neil, you were my BEST friend. But you fucking had to pretend you were hurt or worse, and..and…" max ran out the mess hall, pushing past gwen, david, and the campers, who saw everything.
