A/N Sorry about any grammar mistakes. I'm trying anyway, and like my mom always says, all you can do is try! Then again, my coach always says "trying just ain't good enough! I want you to get out there and kick some butt!" Anyway, Hope you like this story, I put a lot of effort into it, On with the Story!

Disclaimer- I don't own TDI, never have, never will.

"Good morning campers!" Chris said as the campers gathered around him.

"Today your challenge will be grueling, exhausting, and perilous. You will be climbing a 5,000 foot mountain, then race back to camp."

At this, everyone groaned, except Chris and Chef, who just smiled.

"The first team with all their campers back to camp wins!" Chris continued, "Every camper will have one backpack that contains a blanket, trail mix, and…10 pounds of lead weight. The rules are…you can't take the weights out of your backpack."

"Why are we carrying extra weight?" Gwen asked.

"Just a little something to slow you down" Chris replied with a smirk.

Chef handed out maps to each team, the maps had different paths to the mountain, which was apparently deep in the forest, it showed the safe way to get over the mountain, and the map also had a sketch of the way back to camp. Each teams map lead in a different direction. The Bass were supposed to head east into the woods, while the Gophers were supposed to go west. Chris blared a loud air horn, and both teams of campers started out in whichever direction their map lead.

The Killer Bass had just began to make their way into the woods, each camper with a large pack on their back.

"Hey Princess, getting tired yet?" Duncan had just caught up to Courtney, who was looking at the map.

"Excuse me Duncan, but have you forgotten that I have CIT training? I am prepared for hikes, and I do not get tired!"

"Good to know darling. Let's see if you're saying the same thing a little further up the mountain." At that, Duncan raced up ahead of Courtney to the front of the Killer Bass.

"Typical delinquent," she muttered bitterly to herself.

The rest of the Bass were all going strong, not one of them seemed fatigued in the least, and at this point, the extra 10 pounds seemed like nothing to them.

Over of the opposite side of the mountain, the Screaming Gophers were also doing well. Heather had recently tricked Lindsay into carrying her pack for her, saying that

"If you carry more weight now, I will be rested enough to save you from elimination!" which Lindsay eagerly agreed to. The only camper that was having problems was Owen. He was panting hard and kept complaining how hungry he was. To which Gwen always moodily mumbled,

"This is going to be a long hike." She and Trent were hiking next to each other, talking about Chris and whether or not either of them had read the contracts when they signed them.

A/N- Ok, I know it was short, and I Hate to break it to you, but they are all going to be short, but I will update quickly, so just stay tuned! Please Review!
