Disclaimer: I don't own House of Anubis.
"Alfie and Jerome, I swear to God if I get hit by this thing one more time I'm going to –" Patricia's threat was cut off when Jerome leaned forward and grabbed the paper ball from her hand.
"Shut up." He smirked, tossing it to Alfie, who was sitting in the seat behind him. Patricia muttered a curse word directed towards the two idiots and turned back around, staring at the window in a huffy silence. Why had she agreed to go on this stupid camping trip?
KT and Amber had proposed the idea a while ago, just before summer break, because Amber was missing everyone at Anubis already. And after weeks of pestering, almost everyone in the house agreed to go – even Nina had come, as she was visiting England to see Fabian, and the rest of the house, again ('Just as friends! We have a lot to talk about.' Fabian insisted), and he had convinced her to come along as well. So now the house was separated into two large cars – Eddie was driving the first one, with Patricia in the front seat with him. Then came Jerome and Joy in the middle, though Joy was currently curled in a ball, sleeping, and Jerome was throwing a paper ball back and forth with Alfie. Alfie sat in the back with Amber, who was also sleeping, and the luggage was crammed in every open space. And the other car contained Nina, Fabian, KT, and Willow – Mara was on vacation and couldn't come.
Patricia knew this was going to end badly, how could it not? Nothing good ever happened when the entire house was forced together. She leaned her head against the window and sighed loudly, causing Eddie to look over at her.
"What's up?" He asked, glancing at her for a moment before returning his eyes to the road. Patricia shrugged, shutting her eyes.
"This is going to be a disaster." She muttered, pulling her knees up onto the seat and fidgeting with the seat-belt to get herself comfortable.
"Don't be grouchy. This'll be nice, no saving the world, no creepy guys in a tank, no homework…" He trailed off, sighing dreamily. Patricia merely snorted in response and began to doze off.
When she blinked her blue eyes open again, she immediately threw a hand over her face. The sun was directly in front of the car, blaring in her eyes. Shielding her eyes with her hand, Patricia glanced over at Eddie. He had the visor pulled down to shield his eyes from the light, and also had a pair of slick black sunglasses on. Throwing a glare at him and wishing she would have brought her own glasses, she pulled down her visor.
"Good evening, Sleeping Beauty." Eddie mocked, earning him another glare from his girlfriend. "You picked a good time to wake up; we're going to be at the campsite any second." Eddie informed, drumming his fingers against the steering wheel. Of course, this wasn't really a campsite at all. Alfie and Jerome had 'discovered' it, apparently, and they insisted it was the best place to camp, as it had a small waterfall and lake just a short walk away.
"Hey – hey, stop! This is it!" Alfie suddenly shouted, making Amber raise her head and give him a pouty look for disturbing her sleep. Eddie stopped abruptly, pulling off into the high grass at the side of the road. The car behind them, following his lead, did the same. Patricia stretched and sighed, turning around to look at the other passengers. Joy was cuddled against Jerome, his head on hers, both had appeared to be sleeping but Jerome was rousing now.
"Ready for the best camping trip ever?" Eddie asked, grinning widely. Patricia rolled her eyes and jumped out of the car, stretching again. Her eyes wondered to the other car, where Nina and KT were both getting out. She smiled to herself and jogged over, glad to see Nina again.
"Patricia! I've missed you so much!" Nina said warmly, running forwards to trap Patricia in a hug. Patricia awkwardly squirmed away, patting Nina's shoulder but smiling all the same.
"Same here. Are you coming back next year?" Patricia asked; waving as KT walked up beside them.
"I'm not sure, Gram's still kind of ill… Er- we should probably go help him." Nina said suddenly, pointing past Patricia. Patricia quickly spun around to see Eddie, Jerome, and Alfie. They evidently had some kind of stupid boy-game going on, as Alfie was stacking all of the bags into Eddie's arms as Jerome laughed and counted each one.
"No, let him hurt himself. Let's go see the campsite, Alfie says it's great." Patricia dismissed her boyfriend with a roll of her eyes and began walking towards an overgrown path leading into the woods. Nina and KT shrugged and followed obediently, cringing as they heard Eddie yell in pain when he buckled under the weight of the bags (and Amber's suitcases, because she insisted she absolutely had to bring almost an entire summer wardrobe and five pairs of shoes just for a four day long camping trip.)
This will be a few chapters long~ There's going to be some Peddie, Jeroy, Amfie (as I love them together, and see Walfie as more of a friend sort of pairing. Willow's going to be in this, but won't be with Alfie.), and Fabina :D
Not sure how great this chapter is, but they'll get better, I promise! If you have anything you'd like to see happen while they're on this trip, PM me or leave it in the reviews, I'll try to add it in for you (:
Also – 'Peddie: Just Add Children' readers, I am trying to think up a new chapter, but I'm having major writers block with it ): Sorry!
Anyway, let me know what you think of this so far~
