The whole group followed Gregg into the middle of the woods. On the way Max pulled Zoe aside and handed her the mascara that he managed to put in his pocket.
"Max! You are a life saver." She said as she blindly applied the mascara.
"Zoe, please tell me you have make up." Connie said walking beside her and Max.
"Yes, only mascara though. Max managed to grab it before we left." Zoe said finishing her eyes and then passing it to Connie.
"Thanks Zoe, and thank you Max. When we get back I am going to kill Guy Self. A midnight obstacle course is not quite what I had in mind. Anyway did you have a good day?" Connie asked politely to which shocked Zoe slightly but she answered.
"Yes, we did thank you. Tess made us play your groups idea of 21 truths and with the addition of alcohol it turned out to be quite fun but I do regret that decision now. How was your day?" She said causing Max and Connie to laugh.
"That good to hear and we did exactly the same. My head is pounding, I need sleep and paracetamol not a bloody midnight obstacle course. If you think of a way to escape please let me know." Connie said as she handed Zoe her mascara back.
"Mrs. B, looking lovely as ever." Cal said as he turned around to join them.
"It's still Mrs. Beauchamp to you, Dr. Knight." Connie said as the group came to a sudden halt.
"Right, this is the midnight obstacle course. I realise you'd all probably prefer to be tucked up in bed right now but I promise when you get into it, it becomes quite fun." Gregg said to which everyone groaned aloud.
"Fine, you just wait and see. Anyway, I need you to pair up with someone who you trust because your life could be in their hands." Gregg said causing a few of them to scowl.
"So, who is going with who?" Gregg asked causing them to look round. At this point Cal looked straight at Connie to which she laughed.
"No chance." She said but Cal just grabbed her hand and nodded at Gregg to agree the pairing.
"You can trust me. I promise." Cal whispered in Connie's ear to which she smiled. At this point Max put his arm around Zoe and she just looked at him.
"Fine but if you drop me or ruin my make up... You're dead." She said leaning into him. Everyone else picked their pairs carefully as well. Robyn and Lofty, Ethan and Dylan, Tess and Dixie. Everyone was sorted but didn't have the energy to start.
"I tell you what, if you all stop moaning and complaining I'll cut the course in half and you can all go back to your warm beds."
"DEAL." Max shouted louder than everyone else causing the others to laugh.
"I feel sorry for your partner." Gregg joked.
"Me too." Zoe said quietly to Max causing him to fake gasp.
Max and Zoe flew round the obstacle course and so did everyone else. They were all so keen to get back to the cabin they put every last shred of effort into completing the course. Everyone was on the last obstacle which was a rope leading hanging down which they had to climb to get to a bridge to take them back to their camps. Dixie was the first to climb the rope which she did well and then she lent a hand to pull the others up, Lofty followed and then Robyn, Dylan and Ethan.
"I have no upper arm strength." Zoe said to which Connie nodded in agreement.
"That's why we're down here, to help you up. We'll push you and the others will pull you up." Max said to Connie and Zoe both looked hesitant about.
"Trust me." Max and Cal said in unison but aiming it different people. Zoe agreed to go first to try and prove to Connie that it wasn't that hard.
"Right put your foot there and then pull yourself up slightly." Max said as Zoe did what he said.
"Wow you actually listened to me." Max said laughing.
"I would so hit you if I could right now." Zoe said gripping on to the rope. She pulled herself up halfway and then Max and Cal climbed slightly to push her further. Cal pushed her foot whilst Max had his hand on her lower back. Dylan reached down and pulled Zoe up with the help of Max and Cal pushing. However, as Zoe moved up Max's hand slid down so that it was touching her bum causing him to freeze.
"Max, hand of arse." She said as she pulled herself up.
"Sorry." Max shouted up.
"Connie your up." Cal said as he supported Connie the whole way up. As Connie was being pulled up from above Cal too made the same mistake as Max and his hand ended up on Connie's bum.
"Dr. Knight, remove your hand from my bum immediately. Thank you." She said just before she reached the top. Max and Cal reached the top by themselves and then the whole group cheered as they had finally earned the right to go back to their cabins.
Thank you all for your lovely reviews, although I know some of you didn't realise Casualty wasn't on next Saturday. Sorry about that, I wish it was but its cancelled due to it being a Rememberence programme. However, I am going to be continuing so I hope that kind of makes up for it. Anyway as always enjoy and please R&R :)
