A/N This is a story Skylark and I had planned to do. I figured it won't be nearly as good without her input, but I might as well give it a shot, she was so excited about the story it seems only right to at least attempt it. This is just the first chapter, depending on feedback I'll release other chapters. Thanks to Arcadia and Trick for reading over this for me.

Male Bonding Gone Bad

Chapter One: I'm sure they're having the time of their lives

"Ah, Jamie Waite, Just the man I was looking for." Hank Beecham smiled at the dark haired young man.

"Why?" Jamie asked suspiciously.

"Well, We have a week off from school and Tyler and I were going camping, I'd like you to come."

"W-What?" Jamie stammered, suitably shocked.

"Yeah, my uncle owns a cabin up in the Smokeys he said we could use."

"How are we suppose to get there Hank? We don't exactly live close by."

"My uncle has a private jet. He'll fly us up there and pick us on at the end of the week."

"Wow, that's pretty impressive Hank."

"So, will you come?" Hank grinned even wider.

"Uhhhhhh"

"Do you have anything else to do?" Hank prompted.

"Nooooooo."

"Good then its settled, be ready to go at 7 am tomorrow morning." Hank walked out of the room.

"Wait...how did this happen." Jamie muttered to himself as he grabbed his helmet and went out to his motorcycle.

"Oh hey Jamie!" Hank yelled right before Jamie put on his helmet.

"Yeah?"

"Pack a backpack full of food and stuff! We'll be doing a lot of hiking." Jamie nodded and put his helmet on.

"Greeeeeeeeeeeeat."

**************************************************************************************************************************

"Good morning sunshine!" Tyler Connell cooed. Jamie gave him a sleep filled glare, and threw his belongings into the back of Hank's truck.

"Come on Jamie, we haven't got all day." Hank teased as he climbed into the drivers seat.

"No kidding." Jamie muttered clamoring into the back. Tyler took a seat next to Hank.

"So Hank, we should have a sing along." Tyler said. Hank grinned and looked in the rearview mirror. Tyler's comment had its desired effects, Jamie looked absolutely horrified. "Relax Jamie, I'm just kidding." Tyler said, twisting around in his chair.

"Don't mess with me this early in the morning." Jamie growled.

"But its so fun!" Tyler said grinning."

"Come on Tyler, leave him be." Hank said with a grin.

"Aye, Captain Hank sir!" Tyler said with a mock salute. Jamie rolled his eyes, wondering how people could be this cheerful so early in the morning, and melted back with the seat, hoping Tyler would just talk to Hank for the rest of the trip and leave him alone.

**************************************************************************************************************************

Jamie hadn't gotten his wish, everytime he had nearly fallen back asleep Tyler would turn around and try to start up a conversation. When they finally arrived at the airport, Jamie was ready to kill Tyler. As the three boys pulled their things together, a man ran over.

"Hank!" Hank stared at the man for a moment before clarity shown in his eyes.

"Hunter! Hank said surprised. "I thought my uncle was going to fly us."

"Sorry Kid, you uncle got called away, but I'm free, so I figured I'd fly you."

"Thanks!" Hank grinned. "These are my friends Tyler and Jamie."

"Its a pleasure to meet you boys." Hunter said.

"Pleased I'm sure." Jamie muttered. Tyler elbowed him hard in the ribs. Jamie let out a yelp. "Nice to meet you too." Jamie corrected sending Tyler a hard glare.

"Well come on boys." Hunter turned heading towards the plane. Hank fell into step with him and Tyler and Jamie walked behind.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Jamie muttered.

"Why?" Tyler asked.

"I don't know....its just that feeling you get when you feel like something bad is going to happen."

"Oh relax, I bet your just nervous to be flying." Tyler replied.

"Yeah, probably." Jamie appeased, though he didn't believe it.

**************************************************************************************************************************

The private jet was small, very small, and Jamie felt a bit claustrophobic. Seated next to the window, Jamie would occasionally peek out to see how high up they were. Tyler was seated on the opposite side and Hank had taken to sitting beside Tyler. For the next hour or so things were going fine. That was until Jamie felt the plane lurch and Hunter's muffled curses.

"What happened!?" Jamie demanded

"We just lost the left engine."

"We what?!" Tyler and Hank yelled in unison. Another strong jolt and the plane nose-dived.

"Let me guess, that was the right engine." Jamie murmured.

"Mayday, Mayday, both engines gone, we're going down!" Hunter yelled into the small radio. Jamie muttered a few choice profanities under his breath as he braced himself for impact.  

"Still think I'm just nervous about flying?" He snapped at Tyler, who looked at him apologetically.

"Where are you going?!" Hank shouted as Hunter appeared with a parachute strapped to his back.

"Sorry kids, only one chute!" and he disappeared out the door. The plane continued its decent.

"I don't believe it!" Tyler yelled. Hank moved up to the pilot seat and pulled up on the throttle.

"We're going to die." Jamie murmured. There was a crunch and a burst of white hot pain a the plane collided with the ground.

**************************************************************************************************************************

Hank was vaguely aware that he was being shaken. Painstakingly, he pealed his eyelids open. He noticed that he was upside down, the plane was upside down. Tyler was standing next to him.   

"Come on." Tyler said. Hank fumbled with the seat belt until he managed to get it off.

"Are you hurt?" Hank asked, spying Tyler's bloody nose.

"Its broken." Tyler said gently wiping at some of the blood.

"Anything else?"

"Just some superficial cuts. What about you?"

"I may have sprained my wrist." Hank said holding it gingerly to his chest.

"Let me see it." Tyler said holding out his hand, Hank gingerly put his wrist in Tyler's hand. "This could be a hairline fracture." Tyler began looking around.

"What are you looking for?"

"A first aid kit."

"I packed one." Hank muttered. Tyler gave him a small grin.

"Always the EMT, eh Hank?" Hank returned the grin. Tyler searched through Hanks bags and recovered the First Aid Kit, he then set to work wrapping his wrist. Hank suddenly jerked.

"Hunter?!" He looked wildly around. "Oh my God."

"Hank, he parachuted out remember?" Hank's eyes darkened and he let out a string of curses.

"Come on Tyler, we have to help Jamie." Hank said gruffly. He and Tyler crawled over to where Jamie was still strapped in his chair unconscious.

"Jamie." Tyler called shaking him gently. Jamie let out a low groan and his eyes fluttered open.

"Wha?" He pushed Tyler's hand away.

"Are you all right?"

"Yeah, expect my head is killing me....and my shoulder kinda hurts."

"Hank, he's got glass lodged in his shoulder." Tyler said.

"Well, work it out....but be careful." Hank said as he dabbed at the blood along Jamie's hairline.

"The window broke." Jamie murmured to himself.

"Come on we need to get out of here." Tyler said as he successfully removed the piece of glass. Jamie removed the seat belt with relative ease and the boys quickly exited the plane.

"Where do you think Hunter went?" Jamie asked.

"Who knows, he wont be helping us though, that's for sure!" Hank snapped. Jamie flinched back and fell into step beside Tyler, they allowed Hank to take the lead.

**************************************************************************************************************************

"I can't believe Jamie agreed to go on that camping trip." Caitie Roth said as she sprawled out across Val Lanier's bed. Caitie rolled onto her stomach to look at her friend.

"The way Tyler made it sound, Hank kinda tricked him into it." Val replied with a grin.

"Poor Jamie, stuck with the superboys for a week."

"Hey!" Val protested. "Come on, Tyler and Hank aren't that bad!"

"Well, of course you wouldn't think so. 'Specially not Tyler, right?" Caitie grinned evilly. Val threw a pillow at her, which she threw back.
"Do you really think they'll be okay?" Caitie asked.

"Of course they will." Val replied, pushing her blond hair behind her. "I bet their having the time of their lives already."

**************************************************************************************************************************

The scenery would have been pretty, with all the green trees and the rushing river, yes it would have been pretty, if it hadn't been so hot. Tempers were short and there had already been several short outbursts.
"Well, thanks a lot for inviting me Hank, we'll have to do this again sometime." Tyler muttered venom and sarcasm lacing his words.

"Come on Tyler, don't." Jamie pleaded.

"What was that Tyler?" Hank asked stopping.

"I said, the next time you decide we should all go on a trip, count me out!"

"Tyler stop! Its not Hanks fault the plane crashed, or Hunter bailed."

"But if memory serves, it was his idea to go on this stupid trip was it not."

"I'm sorry about the crash Tyler, and I'm sorry you broke your nose." Hank said calmly. Tyler stalked over to him.

"This isn't about the crash or my nose!"

"You need to calm down Tyler!" Hank exclaimed.

"No, I won't calm down! You may be the leader on the squad Hank, but we aren't there right now!" Temper getting the better of him Tyler shoved Hank hard. On instinct, Jamie thrust his arms out and helped break Hank's fall.

"Tyler!" Jamie protested. He was amazed at Tylers complete transfermation from the nice guy he usually was, to this temper driven craze he was in now.

"Stay out of this Jamie!" Tyler hissed.

"Tyler, stop!" Jamie tried again. When Hank and Tyler ignored him he sighed and tuned them out. Tyler shoved Hank again, slightly harder, and once again he went staggering towards Jamie. This time however, Jamie wasn't watching and Hank hit him hard, with a cry of surprise Jamie tumbled backwards into the rushing water below.

Chapter two coming soon.....maybe.
