[STORY TIME!]
There once was a stage crew. A very awesome stage crew. Well, more like stars of a show. A disney show. This show was very popular, and so were the actors. They all got along so well and treated each other just like family would. They went on awesome adventures together when they weren't filming on set. They told funny stories and jokes. On this particular day, the group of besties had been on a camping trip! It was the very last day, so they decided to stay up late and have a bonfire. This is what happened that night…
"Quit it Cassandra, I'm serious! Stop trying to rub gooey marshmallows in my hair!" Eugene cried. Cassandra and the vain brunette were busy wrestling in the grass. Cassandra was trying her hardest to smother the gooey treat in Eugene's hair. They tumbled and tripped over one another. Rapunzel was sitting next to the fire along with Cami, Varian, Olivia, and Shay. The five of them giggled at the other two's reckless behavior.
"I swear, those two will never stop trying to strangle each other." Varian said biting into his S'more. His face melted when he tasted the sweet hershey chocolate.
"That's just how best friends act with one another!" Olivia said. Everyone looked at her oddly. She shrugged it off. "Haven't you heard the internet re-post thingy? Friends ask if your okay when you fall. Best friends laugh at your mistakes. Friends say hi when your lonely. Best friends make fun of the situation. Friends share the food they have with you. Best friends shove you to the ground and-"
"Um, I beg to disagree Liv." Cami mumbled. Her mouth was full of chocolate. Her cat, Cato, sat on her lap. He was busily purring with delight from the warmth of the blazing fire and her soft lap to sit on.
"It's just an internet thing." Rapunzel replies. Her beautiful long blonde hair was pulled back into a high ponytail fastened with a purple bow. Shay told her she should try something new.
"Gargh!" Eugene screamed when Cassandra finally stuck the treat in his hair. She jumped up and pumped her fist in the air.
"YES!" She hollered. "Score one for Cassandra!"
"CASSANDRA!" Everyone yelled in unison. She shrugged and sat next to Rapunzel, making another s'more. Eugene groaned and sat down next to Olivia on the old log she had pulled over. She clamped her hand over her mouth to keep from giggling at the sight of poor helpless Eugene and his no longer perfect hair. He raised an eyebrow.
"How bad is it, kid?" Eugene asked. Olivia shrugged. Cami coughed from the other side of the campfire to hide her laugh.
"How long has it been since you've gotten yourself a haircut?"
"It's that bad!?" He screeched. Rudiger jumped and hid behind Varian. Varian chuckled and patted the raccoon's head to help calm him.
"Cassandra I swear! Next time your neck is in my way, I'll-"
"Make a friendship necklace!" Rapunzel finished. Eugene shot death glares at the smirking daughter of the captain.
"Hmph," He said, slumping on the log. Shay stood up and held her hands in the air.
"Okay, I think that's enough dog fights for one day, wouldn't you agree Cassandra?" She asked.
"Well, maybe one more wouldn't hurt." Said Cassandra.
"Cass!" Shay scolded.
"Alright, fine! No more playing with mr. per-fec-toe over there." She motioned to Eugene's messy and sticky hair. He frowned and rolled his eyes. Olivia patted his shoulder.
"Alright! How about we all tell some stories to help pass the time?" Rapunzel suggested. She stood up in the middle of the small ring and looked at everyone with hopeful eyes. Everybody exchanged glances until finally Eugene spoke up.
"Alright, blondie. We can tell some ghost storiesssss." He stood up and wriggled his fingers in the air. Cami gave up holding in her laugh and nearly choked on her S'more. Eugene looked offended.
"What?"
"N-nothing!" Cami choked. Olivia got the message and grinned.
"No offense Rider, but your stories are really lame." The herbalist said. Varian cracked up and Cassandra air high-fived her. Eugene rolled his eyes.
"So, maybe I'm not as good as Lance. But I still have good stories!"
"Keep telling yourself that."
- LATER...
"The woods were dark and grey. Little Blue Skipping Cloak ran through the endless trees ahead of her. All of a sudden… THE BIG BLACK BEAR JUMPED OUT AND ATTACKED HER!"
A scream was heard. Everyone's eyes averted to Rapunzel; who was clinging to Cassandra. She just groaned.
"It's just a story Raps."
"Yeah. it's not even scary…" Olivia muttered.
"Then why are you sitting next to me and hugging my arm so tightly?" Varian questioned. Upon realizing her actions, Olivia quickly got up and sat back down on her log next to Eugene, who was still trying to scare the group with his terrible horror stories. Shay was actually asleep against Cami. Cato was still purring excitedly because of the action. Cami was nodding off. Eugene preceded by stomping and growling around the dying campfire as if he were the 'big black bear'. Cass rolled her eyes as he circled her. Eugene then dropped low to the ground and continued his story.
"Little Blue Skipping Cloak was frozen in fear. Was this the end? The big black bear towered over her and…"
Eugene pounced at Cami. "LUNGED AT HER!" He yelled. Cami screamed and fell backwards along with Shay. Cato bolted towards one of the small tents they had set up earlier. Varian and Olivia laughed. Cami sat up rubbing her head, "Hey!"
"Sorry, I couldn't help it," Eugene laughed
Olivia snickered.
"Guess he can do some things…" She whispered to Cami. She extended her hand to her friend and pulled her up off of the ground.
"Thanks," Cami said, carefully pulling the crumpled leaves out of her hair. The Herbalist chuckled lightly looking back at Eugene.
"Gonna continue your terrifying tale?"
"Eugene?"
The group all turned their heads to Eugene, who was snoring like a train on the ground. Rapunzel giggled.
"Aww, he's so cute when he's asleep!" Varian shook his head while smiling down at the poor guy.
"Must have been the hike earlier." He stated. "Maybe we should all turn in."
"Yeah," Cassandra cut in. "Besides, we have a really long trip ahead of us back to LA." Shay nodded her head and silently got up, dragging Eugene behind her.
"She's scary…" Olivia whispered over to Varian, who nodded in agreement.
"Anyways," Cami broke the silence, "I'm off to bed." Everyone agreed and shuffled off to their tents. Olivia collapsed onto her sleeping bag as soon as she entered her tent. She pulled her pillow up to her head and shut her eyes. A fly landed on her nose making it scrunch up. Varian smiled as he walked by and dove into his sleeping bag as well. Rapunzel and Eugene were already snoring in their tent while Cassandra sat outside shaving a stick with her jack knife since she wasn't tired yet.
