Ok, as you guys know I don't own the Host or its characters. This is purely fan fiction that gets me no money what so ever.

Mel POV
We were taking a nice stop while out raiding. It was a small camp ground up in the mountains. It was very scenic and out of the way. The kind Soul (is there any other type?) that was the Park Ranger gave Sunny and Wanda a permit for 2 days. I guess they keep track of how many people are in each area to keep it more private or prevent crowding. This early in the season we had the place to ourselves.
Our campsite had a picnic table and a huge fire ring. The Ranger had even left some fire wood. After roasting marshmallows and wieners we settled in for the night. We told stories around the fire and drank soda pop. After the sun set the mosquitoes disappeared and stopped their vampiric quest. It was just a joy to be out in the fresh mountain air. We all sleep well under the pine trees.
The next morning the boy's were cooking breakfast. Ian had some berry pancake thing he does and Kyle was scrambling eggs. Jared was going to do the bacon and his version of toast. He just butters the bread and fries it in a pan, I don't see how that is toast, but it is good.
While they were doing that Sunny, Wanda and I got out some fishing line and hooks. Wanda grabbed a can of corn out of the food boxes while Sunny and I cut fishing poles from the willows growing down at the waters edge. Does it get any better then that? We play while the guys do the work!
After a few minutes I noticed that my line was beginning to move a little. I waited and it pulled tight.
I pulled up on the line to set the hook, and the fish on the other end exploded into action! Wanda started jumping up and down next to me as the fish shot like a silver torpedo across the water. I pulled and brought it under control. I then lifted it onto the bank.
As I pulled up and over it fell from my hook!
"Get it! Get it!" She squealed into my ear.
I was desperately trying to grab the slippery fish as Wanda tried to stomp on it like a spider. "Don't squish it! Don't squish it!" I called out, my hand dodging her foot.
And then the lucky trout flipped back into the water and slapped his tail defiantly at us. I felt crushed! I almost had the fish! I was going to make Jared clean it! Oh!
And then I heard Sunny's laughter. She was holding her side and about to fall of the log she was using as a bench.
"You tow looked so funny!" she said.
"I am so sorry, I just can't help it!"
And then she did it. She fell off the log.
