A/N: (Guess who's now in the Camp Camp fandom.) Okay, anyways, this author's note will explain some things about the fanfiction. As I have been told that reader insert types of fanfics are not allowed, I am not able to do those traditionally anymore. The only alternative is to use an OC in the readers place. So instead of putting in Y/N, I have replaced it with Yuni, my sort of "OC". She fills in the role of the reader but because this isn't a reader insert per say, she's more of a controlled character. This means that she looks however you want her to look like, but most things that would normally be up to the reader aren't available to be changed to really fit the reader. Does that makes sense? So, I'll try and keep her character descriptions to a minimum. Second thing, when Yuni writes in her travel journal those notes will be in bold. Hopefully this makes reading the fic a lot clearer. Now stop reading this note and enjoy!


"It's the start of summer and what do they do? Send me off to camp... when did I ever say I'd 'love, love, love!' to come to some damn camp..."

Yuni grumbled at her reflection in the window. She knew her parents were planning something as soon as they put her to bed early last night. They let her pack her phone and headphones as a don't-start-fighting-with-us bribe. At least they know how to read the atmosphere.

The bus was dingy and quiet. She seemed to be the only one on, aside from what might as well be a body bag and the driver. Taking out her travel journal, something she never leaves without, Yuni simply writes,

Hook for a hand. Cool, but stay at least 5 ft away from.

Looking back outside, Yuni watches the trees pass by, blurring from a lack of focus until the bus stops abruptly. Face, meet tacky seat leather!

While recovering, Yuni notices two other riders walk towards the front of the bus. 'I thought I was the only one riding this disgusting thing..." She shrugs, picks up her travel journal (she had dropped it when the bus jerked her forward. That's what she gets for not wearing the seat belt.) and makes her way to the front.

"Kids are here." the bus driver says.

Yuni opens her journal and adds to her previous notes,

Probably hates his job.

First of the three to get off was a little girl with the green-est hair you've ever seen. Most of her hair seems to have been shaven off except for the small tuft in the front. The rest of her hair was tied into curly pigtails. She breathes in the air vigorously and then praises the wonders of nature. The journal is opened again.

I have found my opposite. Which, I guess, means I'll like her?

A much taller person walks by and greets the girl. He must've been the reason the bus stopped, seeing as he just crawled out from under it.

"Well, hello there little lady! You must be Nikki. My name is David." Well, that answers two questions. Yuni writes down "Nikki" next to her notes and "David on a separate page. On the David page, she writes,

Super cheerful (at least as far as I know). Might be a tool; the blackmailing would be easy.

As she finishes her last sentence, Yuni slams her journal shut when high-pitched screaming erupts from David. It appears that Nikki has bitten him. Yuni watches the chaos for a while, the other kid walking off the bus steps.

"Excuse me," The screaming stops. "Is this Science Camp?" The journal is flipped open yet again.

Total nerd alert. He's even skinny/lanky to top it off! A genuine Jeremy Heere (Minus the Squip, of course).

The three continue to converse with each other, paying Yuni no mind. It didn't really matter to her though; she was too busy with her records. Catching the name 'Neil", she writes it down next to her nerd notes.

"David, there's still someone left." A different voice spoke up. Yuni looks to the entrance of camp to see another boy. He was about Nikki's size and looked bored as hell. He wore a sweater despite it being hot outside. Another page in the journal reads,

My equal? Seems pretty angsty with the whole half-lidded eye thing. But I don't think I'm angsty...

"Oh! My apologies. You must be Yuni." David walks over to the bus ('Why haven't I gotten off yet? Stupid...') and holds out a hand. Yuni ignores the gesture and hops off herself, opening the journal to write "Camp Camp" on the "Sucky Vacation" title page.

Turning around to face the adult, Yuni raises one hand and says, "Hey. Now what's the WiFi password?"

David chuckles. "We don't have WiFi, silly! We're in the middle of nowhere after all."

Before Yuni could answer, the bus backs up, knocking David off his feet again. Looking into the bus, the bus driver picks up the angsty boy from before by the hook and tells him that he was the only one driving for today.

"Ugh. Thank you, Quartermaster." The name gets put into the journal with the hook hand notes. "Max you will not leave my side for the rest of the day." The name Max is also put into the journal.

Ignoring Max's retort, David turns back to the girl in question. "Now, which camp were you signed up for?" He blinks, waiting for an answer.

Yuni stares back at him, looking lost. He literally just got run over by a bus and recovered like nothing happened. "What the fuck is going on at this camp?" was her follow up question. Something shady's going on here and she could feel it. I mean, the Quartermaster took out a bottle of poison and said he was going for a refreshment break!

David looked nervous. "Nothing's going on around here... I think?"

"Don't trust him. There's definitely shit that goes on here." Max glares at David.

The latter clears his throat and chuckles awkwardly. "Now let's go check out the camp, kids!"


David leads the way, talking about when he was a camper and basically sounding old.

"So! What're you here for? Did you sign up for Adventure Camp too?" Nikki attempts to strike up a conversation while the boys listen along.

Yuni laughs half-heartedly. "Hell no. I'm more of an indoors person. You can stick me in front of a screen and I would never speak to you again for the day."

Nikki frowns. "That's awful! You should get out more! It can be exciting if you try hard enough."

"You sound like my mom on the weekends. I don't even know why my parents sent me here. Guess if I'm not home it means less money they have to spend on my needs..." Yuni trails off, grimacing. Parents can be such dicks...

David busts open the door of the mess hall to be met with utter chaos. Catching the name Gwen, Yuni writes it down on yet another page.

Taking in the scene, she sees another adult (that must be Gwen) throwing silverware at a kid in some astronaut get-up who is hanging from the ceiling fan. She spots the bully (or she just labeled the big, mean-looking kid the bully stereotypically), the obviously gay theater kid, the cool girl with headphones ('I'll just ask her for the WiFi...') and three other campers with indistinguishable stereotypes. It bothers her that she couldn't categorize everyone. That makes recording that much harder. How is she supposed to benefit off of them if she can't figure out their character? Yuni sigh heavily.

"What is going on here?" looking over to her left, Yuni sees Neil ask Max if he's made correct life choices.

"I'm telling you, if we leave right now, I can hot wire that bus." That sounds like a good escape plan. If she snuck out right now and got back on the bus she could leave for herself.

'Thank you, Max. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get out of here. If I was nicer, I would've let you and your friends come with me, but oh well.' And with that, she slipped out of the mess hall, grateful for Nikki's unintentional distraction.


"Makin' a break for it? I can make a distraction for you."

Max looks back at Nikki impatiently uninterested. "And why would you help us?"

"I'm an agent of chaos." Turning around, Nikki gets David's attention and "asks" him to play that song he keeps mentioning, to which he pleasantly complies, distracting himself.

"Ooooohhh,
There's a place I know that's tucked away,
A place where you and I can stay,
Where we can go to laugh and play
And have adventures every day!
I know it sounds hard to believe but guys and gals it's true,
Camp Campbell is the place for me and-"

"The kids are gone." Gwen interrupts. Let the goose chase begin.


"How do you start this damn thing?!" Yuni's never actually driven a bus, much less start up one (the closest she could get to driving were free parking games and Mario Kart). "How the hell does he know how to hot wire a bus?" That info really puts into perspective just how many times he's tried to escape.

As she quietly weighs her options on whether or not to wait for the new trio, Yuni looks up to see colorful dots in the distance coming closer to the bus, seemingly chasing each other. Upon close inspection, the dots just happen to be the adults chasing after the three campers, Neil in the lead.

"Ugh... Just my luck." She wanted to go back to the city on her own, but the world had other plans.

It was only a few seconds until the three campers hopped back onto the bus, having knocked the adults down with the stupid pin. Nikki spots Yuni in the drivers seat.

"Hope you're a good driver 'cuz we're getting outta here!" She grins at the end, the bandage on her face peeling off slightly.

"Remember this face, David, cause you'll never see it again!" Max turns around and in a split second, the bus starts up. "Floor it!"

Reacting quickly, Yuni pushes the gas pedal and rides down the road uneasily as Max maniacally laughs in the background. Then, the bus stops and the sheriff comes out of his car. "Aw shit..."

"At least you tried and that's what counts, right?" Nikki assures.

"C'mon kids. We're going back to camp." There were groans and grumbling as the sheriff pushes everyone back to his car.


"I'm gettin' real tired of having to come up here, David."

"I know, Sal..." Sal doesn't get a page. He's not that important...

Yuni stands next to the bus feeling defeated but proud on the inside. She doesn't let the pride show.

"We were so close!" Max sounds irritated by his failed escape. Glaring at the getaway driver only earns a shrug back.

"Well, in hindsight, none of us really know how to drive." Yuni quietly debates with Neil in her thoughts.

"Yeah. Honestly kids, how far did you expect to make it?" Yuni had expected to at least leave camp grounds. She didn't really know where she was going, actually.

"Well kids, I hope you all learned something today-" David's moral lecture was cut off by the local smart mouth.

"Oh no. I hope YOU learn something, David. I hope you learn that before today, you only had one little bastard to deal with." Max points at himself with his thumbs to say that "yes, I am that self-proclaimed bastard".

"But now, you have us." He then gestures to the other three escapees, huddling Nikki and Neil to his side (they were the closest he could reach with his prepubescent arms). "Let's go guys. I'll show you to our tents."

"Hey, Newbie!" Max makes a follow-me gesture.

"My name is Yuni." The girl answers back in annoyance.

"What'd I say?" He replies with a smirk.

The Max page reads,

The wild card. Keep an observant eye on him.
