Chapter 1:
It was a glorious day in the Brak residence and Brak's parents were in the kitchen. While Brak's dad was reading his newspaper, he asked Brak's mom, "Hey mother, do you ever feel like our lives are like one big sitcom?" Brak's mom replied, "Our lives are a sitcom dear." Brak's dad stopped reading his paper and said "Oh that makes sense." When Brak's dad continued reading his paper he found an article about camping. "Listen to this mother." said Brak's dad,"Eighty percent of fathers takes their sons out camping to do some guy bonding and spend quality time together." "That's a great idea honey!" Brak's mom said, "Why don't you and Brak go out to do some camping?"
Brak's dad liked his wife's suggestion. "Good idea mother." he said, "Once the two of us start camping, I will teach the boy how to become a man!" Suddenly, Brak happily zoomed into the kitchen. "Hello mommy-o and daddy-o!" he said cheerfully. "Hi there honey." Brak's mom said, "Your father has some exciting news for you." Brak was so excited he couldn't contain himself. "Oooh! What is it dad?" he asked eagerly,"Is it a lifetime supply of beans"?
"Nope. You and I are going camping!" Brak's dad said with excitement. "Oh boy! I love camping!" Brak exclaimed, "I love the s'mores, the campfire, the stories and the marshmallows." "Don't forget about being miles away from civilization." Brak's dad added. "Fantastic!" Brak said with enthusiasm.
"Then it's settled." his dad said, "We'll leave first thing in the morning."
Then out of nowhere, Zorak jumped into the kitchen with a bitter attitude as usual. "What's up assholes?" he asked rudely. "Hey there best buddy!" Brak greets him. "Go to hell!" Zorak shouted. "Hey Zorak. What brings you here?" Brak's mom asked. Zorak replied, "I didn't have anything to eat over at my place so I'm just here to dig through your fridge." Zorak went to the fridge and grabbed a fried chicken leg and a carton of milk. He took a bite of the chicken leg and drank the milk straight from the carton.
Suddenly, Brak had an idea. "Hey dad!" he exclaimed,"I have a great idea! Why don't we invite Zorak along on our camping trip to do some guy bonding too?" Zorak was against the idea and said, "Yeah I'm not doing that." Brak asked, "But why Zorak? Why?" "Because it's stupid!" Zorak retorted. "Aw man." Brak moaned.
Brak's dad taunted Zorak for not accepting the idea of camping. "Looks like Zorak doesn't have what it takes to be a man." "Are you challenging me?" he asked. "Maybe." Brak's dad replied. "I'll have you know that I'm more manly than you two bozos." Zorak told the two boys. " Well then,how about you join us on our camping trip tomorrow morning to show us how much of a man you are?" Brak's dad suggested. "Fine you old man! I'll be there! Zorak told him.
"Good!" said Brak's dad, "Brak! Pack everything you need because tomorrow, we're about to have adventure of manliness in the wilderness!"
"Hooray!" Brak cheered, "Zorak's gonna join us on our manly camping trip!"
