It was dark, the moon full as it shined with stars over the camp.

Max lie awake, staring at the top of his tent with the usual bored face as Neil's snoring rang his ears.

"No wonder I can't fucking sleep," he whispered, waiting silently for the sounds of feet crunching on the dirt and grass. "What is taking her so long?"

Just as he said it, the tent quickly unzipped revealing Nikki standing there proudly as the moon silhouetted her.

"Hi Max!" She whispered, pulling him out the futon that made the camp campbell campers beds. "Ready?"

"Anything to get away from this guy's damn snoring."

The pair left the tent, tip toeing to the edge of the camp and avoiding a patrolling David. The animals were silent as the two walked to their nightly place.

The largest hill in Sleepy Peak Peak.

It was close, Max could even see it over the treetops that crowded his sight.

"Max," Nikki called, startling him. "Are you okay? You usually talk about finding David's weakness or shutting down this 'hell hole.'"

Max shrugged, "Maybe I'm not in the mood."

"Well then if you weren't in the mood you wouldn't have come out here with me tonight."

Max clenched his teeth, walking up the hill to where a pine tree stood. He sat under its shade, Nikki sitting beside him. Only he scooted to the other side of the tree.

Nikki sighed, "What is your issue? You've never acted like this until now."

"Maybe I'm not in the fucking mood Nikki."

He heard the crunching of grass, and the next thing he knew, the girl was standing in front of him with her eyes glowing angrily.

"You're acting like an asshole. And you know I wouldn't call you that unless there was a good reason," Nikki stated, sitting beside him.

Max tried to move but she grabbed his arm.

"What is your issue?!" Max said, snatching his arm. "Maybe—"

Nikki covered his mouth. "Who gives a crap about 'maybe'. I want to know the real shit. Tell me."

Max's eye twitched. "Fine." He rubbed his floof called hair. "Its just that, you're so happy."

"And?"

"And? Your mom is a golddigger, you mom tried to fuck Neil's dad. YOU WERE RAN OUT BY THOSE FLOWERSCOUT BITCHES."

Nikki shrugged. "I don't get it."

"Its just…" Max calmed his voice, staring down to the grass. "You're so happy to live with all that, but my parents don't like me so they sent me to summer camp every year.

"You live with all that and those assholes talking about you but I'm mad that I come to the shit hole every summer? Beats me being with my parents."

Max felt something slam him face, making him gasp. Nikki had slapped him. Hard.

"Do you know how long I've wanted to go to summer camp? Very long, Max. You actually have it way easier. David and Gwen are basically your parents!"

Max scoffed. "When they're my parents they would've killed me first."

Nikki practically growled. "I've had to live with some crappy girly girls all last summer! And I was run out by them! I had to deal with my mother coming onto different people all school year!

"I put on a smile because I don't care."

Max stared at her, an eyebrow raised.

"My life isn't easy. Its pretty hard. But…" Nikki turned to him, a smile wide on her face. "I try to make it better! And your schemes and angry talk make me happy! And if you aren't yourself, I'll make sure you go back to normal!"

Max was overly flustered. He was stiff, his floofy hair blowing in the wind. He put his head down and let out a small chuckle.

Nikki tilted her head towards him, confused.

His laugh got louder, and louder, until it echoed to Spooky Island.

He wasn't laughing evilly. He was laughing with actual joy. Nikki was completely freaked out.

"Ahah… Nikki! Ahaa!"

Nikki scooted away from him. "Why are you laughing?!"

"Because! You just said all those things about your life! And you're still smiling! That's… Actually pretty cool. Maybe you're rubbing off on me because that was one if the best laughs I've ever had!"

Nikki shrugged, smiling as she laid down on the hill. The grass was soft and nice, making the girl put her arms behind her head.

She patted the spot next to her, looking at Max with shining eyes. He laid beside her, staring up at the moon and stars.

The weight of today brought fatigue on his body, making him turn to Nikki only to see she was already asleep.

He pulled his hoodie over her before she got cold and went to sleep.

...

"Good morning Campbell Campers!" David called in his normal cheery voice. "We have a long day ahead of us! So let's get started!"

Neil woke up, yawning before looking to Max… 'S bed.

"Where the fuck is Max?"

The nerd got out of bed and ran out his tent, hearing Nerris following him.

"David!" They yelled in unison. "There's a camper missing!"

Neil and Nerris stopped beside each other, staring at David and Gwen.

"What the fuck do mean there's a camper missing?" Gwen said in her normal grumpy tone.

"Max is missing!" Neil yelled.

"So is Nikki!" Added Nerris.

David and Gwen looked at each other, nodding.

"Campers!" Gwen called to the gathering kids. "Max and Nikki are missing! We need to find them! We can't go down with another lost camper!"

A collected groan echoed over the crowd.

"No camp activities for a week!" David added.

Instantly, the clearing was empty, kids climbing over kids to get to the forest.

The counsellors shrugged before running to join them.

David and Gwen called for Max and Nikki at once, looking under bushes or climbing up trees.

But when David climbed up the tallest tree in the forest, he saw blue on a large hill.

He let out a gasp before falling out the tree, a scream leaving his mouth all the way down.

Gwen watched David fall into a bush before he popped right out.

"Their on the hill!"

Gwen began to ran toward the mound, David following close behind. The hill was steep but not steep enough for 10 year olds. Steep enough for David but still.

As the adults climbed the tree and parted the bushes, they let out small gasps.

Both Max and Nikki were curled together, asleep. Nikki had Max's hoodie draping her as a cover while their hands were being held by the other.

David and Gwen let out an aww if approval and from how cute the situation was.

They climbed back down the hill, opting not to bother them since they've probably always did this until it got late.

A rustle in the bushes alerted Gwen making her tell David to stop only for all the campers to come crashing out.

"SHHHH." The pair hissed.

David sighed. "Max and Nikki are asleep in that hill." He pointed to the location. "Together."

Preston pushed forward, his eyes crazed and his mouth in a smile. "I must see this!"

All the campers surged forward quietly, smiling as they climbed the hill, David and Gwen following.

Max and Nikki were still asleep, just more comfortable looking.

A small awe passed through everyone, the kids and counsellors opting to stay quiet.

They only watched the small movements they made, usually a mumble under the breath.

Until Max woke up, sitting up and giving a small yawn. He covered his eyes with his hand before looking down on Nikki.

A wide smile broke his face.

A giant gasp erupted from the bushes, causing Max to jump up with a flustered face. Over the bushes he saw retreating people, making him crack his knuckles.

He sighed, thinking he'll deal with it later before he sat down beside Nikki, waiting for her to wake up so they can go to the mess hall together.
