Hey guys! I'm so sorry for leaving the story for months. But, it's summer break so I can write again! I've spent a lot of time writing and revising this chapter, so I hope you enjoy! Oh yeah, and I forgot to add Nina to the first chapter, but she's in the story. Nina and Joy are great friends in this fanfic and Joy isn't pursuing Fabian anymore. They're just back to the best friend state they were in before season one. Joy also isn't dating Jerome. I guess you could say this takes place after season two but before season three. Okay, let's go!

Joy stepped out of her father's car and onto the marble driveway of paradise. There were evergreen trees making a straight path leading up to the check-in area. There were 5 buildings on each side of the sidewalk, and two paths that traveled farther, with more buildings alongside those.

"Thanks, dad! Love you." she smiled and swung her purse over her shoulder.

He pulled the rest of her bags out of the car and rolled them up to the front gate.

"Oh, any time, sweet pea." Mr. Mercer hugged his daughter and headed to the car. "Have fun, I'll see you soon!"

He drove away slowly; turning around every 2 seconds to make sure his daughter was alright. Joy decided to wait for another house member to show up before entering. She must have arrived too early because it was almost another hour before Jerome's mother's car pulled up.

"Have fun, sweetie!" Mrs. Clarke kissed Jerome on the cheek.

"Mum!" Jerome gestured towards Joy, who was giggling at him. "You're embarrassing me." He said through gritted teeth.

"Be a good boy!" She gave him one last kiss and drove off.

"Hey, Mercer." Jerome approached Joy.

"Clarke." Joy sat on her suitcase, scrolling through her phone.

Fabian's car soon pulled up into the driveway.

"Fabian!" Joy ran over to hug Fabian as he got out.

A huge grin spread over Fabian's face. "Hey Joy! Hey there, Jerome."

"Hey." Jerome greeted.

"I can't believe we're actually here!" Joy laughed. "This place is amazing."

"Yeah, this is great. Come on, let's go check in." Fabian grabbed one of Joy's bags and started rolling it with his other bags.

"What a gentleman! Thank you, Fabes." Joy gave Fabian a side hug before they started heading to the check-in desk.

They started talking about what they were looking forward to, what sports they would play first, etc. Joy even got them discussing what they should wear for the first day of activities.

"We should totally color-coordinate our outfits. I think we should wear navy blue. I have a really cute navy blue top, and you can wear that T-shirt that Patricia got you last year for your birthday. Now, I want to wear shorts, but you can wear jeans. So, I'll make sure they're black shorts, and you can wear black jeans. Do you have a pair? If not, maybe you can borrow some from Eddie. He's cool. And do you still have those weird sneakers we got that one summer? We can-" Joy rambled.

"Joy! Slow down!" Fabian laughed.

"Oh, I'm just kidding." Joy pushed him lightly.

"You're so crazy!" Fabian ruffled her hair.

Eventually, they approached the check-in desk.

"Hello, campers! Welcome to Camp Funtime. Can I have your names, please?" a perky brunette asked.

"I'm Joy Mercer."

"Fabian Rutter."

"And behind me is," Joy turned around, thinking Jerome was still there, but he was nowhere to be found. "Oh."

Jerome made his way up the path. "Jerome Clarke at your service."

The girl continued. "Your cabin is 10A, at the very end of the path."

"All the way at the end? It's really hard walking in these heels!" Joy whined.

Jerome and Fabian stared at her.

"What?" Joy shrugged innocently.

"Well, this was the last available cabin. All of the others are filled up." The girl explained.

"Wait, but we have boys and girls. We can't share a cabin." Joy complained.

"Oh, I think we can manage, thank you very much." Jerome covered Joy's mouth and pulled her away.

"This is great! We get to room with girls!" Jerome threw a fist into the air and ran to the cabin.

Fabian rolled his eyes. "Okay then… come on, Joy."

When they arrived at the inside was subpar. There was one bathroom, two tiny closets, and 5 bunk beds.

"Ooh, Amber's gonna freak." Joy laughed.

"So, what do we do now?" Fabian asked.

"I guess we wait for the others, have supper, and go to sleep." Jerome suggested.

Joy and Fabian agreed and found their beds. One by one, the fellow house members came in and found their space. Amber arrived last, being "fashionably late." Once she saw the cabin, she flipped out.

"You have got to be kidding me. Two closets? There's no way I can fit all of my clothes into both of these!" she exclaimed.

"Amber, you've survived much worse than this. I think you'll be okay." Nina reassured her friend.

"Attention, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for supper. Please report to the dining hall." A teenage boy sounded over the PA.

"Well, let's go eat!" Alfie took off running to the dining hall, while everyone followed walking.

~.~

Amber was behind the pack, trudging in her heels. All of the other girls had changed into more comfortable shoes, but Amber always dressed to impress. Though now, she wished she had worn her converse. She tried to rush and sit down because her feet were killing her, but running in 5 inch heels was pretty difficult. She fell right on the concrete sidewalk.

"Ouch!"

"Need a hand?" a boy she didn't know asked behind her.

"No, I'm-"

Once Amber saw his chiseled face, spiky jet black hair, and huge muscles, she became very nervous, which was unusual for Amber.

"I, um—my arm really—I think I-," Amber was at a loss for words.

The boy grabbed Amber by her left arm and pulled her up. Amber winced.

"Ow! I fell on that arm, stupid!" Amber yelled.

"Well, how would I know that? You can barely get a sentence out." The boy grinned.

Amber tried to glare, but there was just something about those pearly whites that made it impossible to stay mad for even a moment. He slowly stood her back up to her feet.

"What's your name?" Amber questioned, crossing her arms.

"I'm Archie." He smiled at the ground. "It's stupid, I know. Blame my parents."

"Well, I think it's cute." Amber smiled as he looked up.

"I'm Amber."

"It suits you, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." Archie stared into her eyes.

Amber giggled. "Stop it." She pushed him back playfully.

"Archie!" A woman walked out of the building behind them.

"That's my mum, gotta run." Archie flashed a smile.

"Wait, what's your mum doing here?" Amber questioned.

"She runs this camp. I get in for free every year, so that's pretty cool." He explained.

"Yeah, pretty cool." Amber replied.

"Archie!" His mother called again.

"I should go…" Archie gestured towards his mum.

"Bye." Amber turned around and left.

What just happened? Did he see me blushing? Amber pondered.

For the first time in a long time, she felt butterflies in her stomach. He made her palms sweat and he made her nervous, but she loved it. He made her feel a way nobody else could, not even Alfie. Of course they weren't dating anymore, but he still made her feel pretty special when they were. But Archie made her feel even more special. She decided to shake off the thoughts about Archie and just enjoy her supper.

~.~

In the middle of the supper, Archie's mother stepped onto the stage and walked over to the microphone.

"Hello campers, welcome to the 10th year Camp Funtime! I'm Mrs. Evans. Each year, we promise to deliver a great experience for every camper to have a great summer here. We have tons of activities planned for you for these 30 days. We hope you enjoy yourselves and have fun! Tonight, unpack your things and get some rest because we have a lot to do tomorrow. Your curfew is at 10 o' clock."

All of the Anubis residents exchanged glances with each other.

"Really? Are we still at Anubis house?" Jerome said to the table in general.

Soon, supper was over and everybody headed back to their respective cabins. Everybody had gotten into their pajamas and was talking about what activities they would participate in the next day.

"I'm going swimming with Patricia tomorrow. I hope she starts drowning and I can save her. Then, I'll be her superhero." Eddie laughed.

Patricia glared at him. "I can swim you doofus, and better than you can."

Eddie walked up to Patricia. "Is that a challenge?"

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." Patricia crossed her arms.

"Challenge accepted."

Mara was sitting with Joy, Nina, and Amber. "I hope we can go horseback riding!"

Joy agreed. "Yeah, so do I. What about you, Nina?

"I'm so excited for everything! This place is amazing." Nina replied.

"I hope I can see Archie." Amber mumbled.

"Who?" Nina asked.

"Archery! I hope I can see archery. I like to watch it but, um, I'm not good at… archering." Amber quickly improvised. She wasn't sure if they bought it, but they dropped the topic.

"I'm really bored. We should play a game!" Joy offered.

"Yeah, let's play Truth or Dare! Anyone have a water bottle or something?" Amber looked around.

"I've got one." Eddie held up the bottle.

"Awesome! Now everybody, make a circle." Amber directed.

Suddenly, a loud boom of thunder sounded outside and a flash of lightning followed. Rain began pouring down outside. Nina checked her phone.

"It's already 10:49?" She stated. They were actually up past curfew without knowing.

Suddenly, Eddie got an idea. "Actually, let's forget Truth or Dare. I think," He looked around at everyone. "We should go dance in the rain. Like maniacs."

Everybody raised their eyebrows at Eddie, but after exchanging a few glances, they were all in.

"Hold on, what if we get in trouble?" Mara asked.

"Come on, take a risk, Mara! If we get caught, so what?" Fabian encouraged her.

Nobody expected something like that from Fabian, but no one was stopping him.

"Wait, I need to get my raincoat." Amber jumped up.

"No! We're just going in our pajamas." Eddie ordered.

"Fine, but can I at least wear socks?" Amber pleaded.

"Amber, you're already wearing socks." Patricia answered.

"Oh, then let's go." Amber sighed. "This better be tons of fun if my socks are getting muddy and my pajamas are getting soaked."

The housemates charged out of their cabin, Alfie being last, leaving the door open a crack. They all ran into the open field in the middle of all of the cabins. At first, they were just running around aimlessly and slipping like pigs on ice skates, but then they all decided to hold hands and skip around in circles.

"Let's sing a song!" Joy shouted after another clap of thunder.

"Okay, what song?" Jerome yelled in response.

"What about 'For She's A Jolly Good Fellow?'" Mara suggested.

"Why?" Nina asked.

"Why not?" Amber replied. She was actually having a great time, and she didn't even care that her clothes were covered in mud from falling so often.

"Okay!" Nina agreed.

Turning in a counterclockwise circle, everyone sang;

For she's a jolly good fellow,

For she's a jolly good fellow,

For she's a jolly good fellow,

Which nobody can deny

[A/N: I think that's how the song goes, but I'm not 100% sure.]

"Now what?" Eddie screamed at the same time lightning flashed.

"Let's sing Timber!" Patricia suggested.

While singing the words to the popular song, a dance circle formed, and each person got to show off their "amazing" dance moves. They had the most fun at:

Swing your partner round and round

End of the night it's going down

One more shot, another round

End of the night, it's going down

They all found someone to link arms and swing around with; all while slipping, falling, and having a great time. They also belted out the chorus:

It's going down

I'm yelling timber

You better move

You better dance

Let's make a night

You won't remember

I'll be the one

You won't forget

Once they saw lightning touch down on the very field they were on, they decided it was time to head inside. They sang a bunch of random songs in unison until they reached their cabin.

"That… was… AWESOME!" Eddie exclaimed.

Everybody chattered in agreement. They had tons of fun doing something stupid, dangerous, and against the rules. Mara checked her phone. It was already past midnight. Were they really outside for that long? Even worse, when Mara peered out the window, she saw Mrs. Evans three cabins down.

"Guys, I think Mrs. Evans is doing a late night inspection!" Mara exclaimed.

"Everyone in your beds!" Jerome ordered.

"But my duvet!" Amber complained.

"Just pretend to sleep!" Alfie whisper-yelled.

Everyone jumped under the covers and shut their eyes. Soon, Mrs. Evans opened the door. Everyone was actually fast asleep. They were tired out from running around. Mrs. Evans nodded to herself and shut the door.

So there's the second chapter! That was a bad ending, I'm sorry. I didn't know how to end it. Do you guys want the chapters to be shorter, or is this length fine? I think I'm gonna write them one day per chapter (for example this chapter was all the first day), but I can cut it down if you want. Please leave feedback in the comments of what you think. Any ideas of where the story should go are always welcome. Also, if there are any couples you want to see I would love to add them for you! Everyone is single right now besides Peddie; I ship them so much I couldn't break them up. Unless you guys want them to date other people before getting back together, I could do that. I'll try to update soon, but I do want to hear what you guys think. That's all for now, bye!
