Ralph slowly put his cooked marshmallow onto a gram cracker with chocolate. "Today was fun, thanks Walter."

"No problem, buddy." Walter pulled up a red lawn chair next to Ralph.

Ralph put another gram cracker on top of his marshmallow and took a bite, "I'm glad my mom let me go camping with you."

Walter turned to face Ralph, "Me too. It's been a while since we hung out." Walter turned back to the fire. "I haven't been camping for a while too." Ralph was wearing a dark gray and blue under armor sweatshirt and light blue jeans. Walter was wearing
/a black sweatshirt with a blue print of the Homeland security badge and dark blue jeans.

Ralph turned to look at his mentor, "When was the last time?"

Walter folded his hands in his lap, "When I was around 16 years old."

Ralph eyes widened, "That is a long time… Who did you go with?"

Walter leaned against his chair, "I went with Cabe we were on a hunt to find a missing man, named Lincoln Colt."

Ralph sat down adjacent to Walter in a blue lawn chair. "What happened?" Ralph asked as he took another bite of his smore.

"Well… we searched for Lincoln for about 2 ½ days till we found him alive in his truck."

Ralph smiled, "Woah, cool!"

Walter chuckled, "Yep. When was the last time you went camping?"

Ralph looked at his feet, "I umm… can't remember."

"Ralph…" Walter placed his hand on Ralph's shoulder, "You can tell me anything."

"Last time I went camping was when I was 3… 3 months before Drew left my mom and I," Ralph sniffled.

"Hey… let's not concentrate on the past." Walter smiled, "Let's make some new memories." Walter pushed himself off his chair, "Come on." Walter grabbed a pail of water and poured it on the flame.

Ralph tilted his head, "What are you doing?"

Walter put on his blue and black backpack. He put on a headlight and smiled, "On a journey." He turned on his light and started to walk away.

Ralph jumped out of his seat, put on his headlight and turned it on, put on his gray backpack, and rushed over to Walter's side. "Where are we going?"

Walter looked over at Ralph and smiled, "Who knows…"

Walter climbed over a medium sized boulder, "Let's stop and rest for a bit." He twisted round and helped Ralph up the boulder. Walter sat down, took off his backpack, and turned off his headlight.

Ralph copied Walter and sat down next to him, "Thanks for the great night Walter."

Walter laid down and put his hands behind his head, "No problem buddy."

Ralph laid down and folded his hands, "Tonight was amazing." Ralph smiled, "Campfire, hike, and now star gazing! This is the best camping trip ever!"

Walter chuckled, "I have to concur with you…" Walter removed his right hand from under his head and pointed upward at the starry sky, "Hey Ralph, look its Scorpius."

Ralph looked up and pointed, "Found the big dipper and the little dipper!"

Walter moved his finger, "There is Ophiuchus."

"And Lupus."

Walter began to chuckle, "I'm happy to have somebody who knows the stars."

Ralph smiled, "Thanks dad." Ralph froze, "I mean… umm… sorry Walter."

Walter looked over at Ralph, "It's okay son." Walter placed his right hand on his stomach.

Ralph turned to look at Walter, "You mean it?"

"Of course, I did Ralph. You are like a son to me… You are a son to me."

Ralph scooted closer, "Walter?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Walter smiled, "I love you too, son." Walter looked back at the night sky, "I love you too."
