Chapter 7:

*Viki's POV*

The next day we got to our next stop which is a camping sight. Mr. Goof and Aunt Vivi are setting up our tents while Max is sitting on a rock by the river. I watch sadly to see him stirring the water with a stick.

"Hey, Max," Mr. Goof says to his son, getting in front of him. "You wanna get some fishing practice?" he offers tentatively. "Just a couple of days 'til we get to Lake Destiny."

Max stood up off of the rock and walks away still depressed. "Maybe later."

"Why don't you go cheer him up," Aunt Vivi quietly tells me.

I nod my head and head over to the depressed Max.

"Hey, Max," I speak up, getting his attention.

"Oh hey, Viki," he turns to me still sad.

"I know you're not the best with the trip until we get to the junction." He gives me a look. "With the whole trip," I corrected myself with a sigh, "but it was a one time thing and there's other things to spend some family time without getting embarrassed."

"Vik!" he exclaims at me, almost yelling. "You know who is my father! He mebaresses me at everything he does! Roxanne wouldn't like me with him as a father! She likes me as someone going to the Powerline concert-" his yelling made him admit something he's going to regard. Max realize it and covers his mouth with his hands, looking terrified.

My eyes widened at his outburst and the last part.

"What did you say to her?" I asked confused and shocked.

"I, uh, well," he's avoiding the question.

"Maximillion," my eyes narrows down and my hands are on my sides, "what did you say to her?"

"I told her that I was going to the Powerline concert," he sighs, admitting everything.

I couldn't believe this!

"Are you kidding me?" I asked, getting really mad. "You decided to use my summer plans to impress her?!"

"It was in the heat of the moment! She was depressed when I told her that I wasn't going to take her to the party," his words hurt my heart.

"You are rather notice her sadness instead of mine?" I asked deeply hurt.

"Wh-What do you mean?" he asked softly, surprised.

"Max, I've been for you thick and thin and what I got in return?" I admit everything. "Nothing! I've never judged you for being a goof or anything. Look, Max, I've had liked you ever since you moved to the neighborhood," I sighed, admitting everything as tears begin to fall down my face.

He was silent, shocked about my confession. "Oh gosh, Viki I didn't know," he says softly.

"Yea because you have been obvious on everything I have done for you," I sighed, looking down, trying to stop the tears.

Suddenly we hear something come onto the grounds. A huge RV rolls over to where we are camping and shows what it has. A hot tub, a basketball court, a bowling alley and a swimming pool appear from different angles.

Max and I look at each other confused before going over to what it is.

"Whoa! Now that's camping," Max says amazed.

It's a little too much for my taste in glamping, but I guess he likes it.

Aunt Vivi comes back over from our glamping tent and sees the RV in surprise.

Mr. Goof appear out from under it from the tent, completely unaware from the RV. "You say something, Max?" he asked his son before getting hit by the metal door folding down.

Mr. Pete appears out of the RV's entrance.

"Pete?" Mr. Goof asked, coming out of the dizziness.

"Goofy?" Mr. Pete asked, seeing him under the door. "What a serendipity do dah! Who'da thunk it, huh?" he chuckles, taking out a remote to press a button to lower the door when Mr. Goof appears out of it.

"Is PJ here, Mr. Pete?" I asked him with a smile.

"Oh, yea," he answers. "I'm sure he's loafing around here somewhere."

"Why don't you two go hang out with PJ in the RV while we hang out here?" Aunt Vivi suggested with a smile.

"Okay!" I smiled back, heading towards the inside of the RV.

Lately since the remaining months of the school year, I've been more closer to PJ and Bobby. So it's a nice gesture to see him again before heading to LA.

Powerline music is being heard from the inside of the RV. Max and I head to the entrance door to see PJ dancing and singing along to Powerline while buffing the floor and dusting.

"What a goob," Max chuckles, seeing our friend being goofy.

Than he uses the buffer like a microphone while singing to the music. Max finds the stereo and turns it off, but that didn't stop him from singing and dancing.

"Even if you got to shout out loud! No matter you look it's Viki and Max," he sings then realizes it's us waving at him. "Viki! Max!" he smiles to us.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Max greets him smiling.

"Hey PJ!" I greeted back smiling big.

PJ gives me a hug before doing his handshake with Max. "Whoa! Small wilderness, dude and dudette! Didn't expect to run into you two."

"Apparently not," Max says smiling.

"You're just jealous guys," PJ does a couple of moves, "'cause you ain't got the moves!"

"Yea, you can keep the moves, man," I smiled to him with a chuckle.

"I wouldn't mind having this RV," Max comments, looking around before looking at the fishbowl. "You are so lucky, man," he taps on the fishbowl.

"Me? Aw, come on! You're the star!" P.J. tells us something that I knew immediately that I am upset with.

"Wha-What are you-" Max begins to ask confused.

"Going to the Powerline concert," he explains. "Aw, it's unbelievable, man!" he grins.

"Who told you that?"

"Hey, come on! Everyone in town knows about it, Max," he says as Max walks over to the door. "You are gonna be famous, buddy! Especially with Roxanne."

My eyes rolled in annoyance. P.J. gives me a secret apology look, knowing my feelings towards our friend.

"There's, uh, only one person who doesn't know about it yet, Peej," Max says sadly, leaning against the frame with his arms crossed.

"Who?"

"My dad."

"He used my summer plans of going to the Powerline concert," I explained to P.J. annoyed at Max.

"Yikes!"

*Vivi's POV*

While Viki is with P.J. and Max, I am with Goofy and Pete up on the roof of the RV.

"So tell me, Goof, is that kid of yours still giving you guff?" Pete asked him as we arrived to the bowling alley.

"Oh, I don't know what's wrong," Goofy answers sadly. "Just seems like everything I try only drives Max further away." He pushes a bowling ball away on the stand. "Maybe I ought to just back off, I don't know."

"Wrong, Goof," Pete sighs annoyed, "if you keep'm under your thumb, they'll never end up in the gutter!"

Pete goes for a strike, but end up getting one last pin.

"Too bad, Pete," I half smiled. "Almost."

"Almost?" he asked, glaring back at me. "Heh! Watch this," he smirks before screaming out, "P.J.!"

Immediately, his son runs up the ladder that leads up to the roof with Max and Viki behind him.

"Yes, sir! Coming, sir!" he speaks through his running.

Pete points to the pin when P.J. stands in front of Pete.

P.J. looks at the pin and goes over to it to kick it down into a strike.

"Woohoo! Strike-ola!" Pete cheers and does a victory dance. "Yeeha! Thank you! Thank you! Yes! And the crowd goes wild! High five, son!" he raises his hand up for a high five to his son, but moves away when he goes for it. "Zike!" he laughs. "Say, Goof, Vivi," he smiles to us, "why don't you four stay for dinner?"

"We don't mind," I smiled while Viki nods her head in agreement.

"Cool!" Max smiles.

"Oh, no thanks, Pete," Goofy kindly declines. "Max and I have some fish to catch."

"Aw, Dad, we can do that tomorrow," Max tells him, glaring at him. "So, uh, what are we having?" he asked Pete.

"But Max, I thought-"

Pete clears his throat. "Under your thumb, Goof."

Viki looks at me confused which I silently tell her not to worry about it.

Taking Pete's words to heart, Goofy than becomes serious. "Maximilian!" he calls his son by his full first name.

"What?" he asked annoyed.

"Get your gear, little man. We're going fishing!" they have a stare down. "And I mean now!"

Max goes off annoyed with his father. Goofy winks at Pete with a smile and his thumb up. Pete mirrors it in agreement.

"What's that about?" P.J. asked Viki in a whisper.

"Your guess is good as mine," she whispers back.

*No One's POV*

Goofy drags his son to the river where they are dressed in their fishing gear and holding rods.

"Dad, I don't even know how to fish," Max tells him.

"Oh, now come on. That never stopped me!" Goofy says. "Let me show you a little family secret that's been handed down for about twelve or thirteen Goof generations: The Perfect Cast."

"The Perfect what?" his son questions.

"The Perfect Cast," he tells him. "My dad taught it to me when I was about your age. Okay now, watch carefully. You gotta be loose," he loosens up. "Relaxed. With our feet apart and….ten o'clock," Goofy move the rode to that direction. "Two o'clock," he repositions it. "Quarter to three! Tour Jete! Over! Pas de deux! I'm a little teapot! And the windup," Goofy's line goes way back to where Pete is barbecuing some steaks and the hook got one. Pete gasps at the sudden disappearance. "And let 'er fly! The Perfect Cast," he smiles to his son.

The steak went flying towards the other side of the river that they are in to the ground in front of the legendary Bigfoot and inside of his footprint. Bigfoot appears into view chewing on a log where he stops to smell something before looking down to the steak.

"And now, we reel 'er in," Goofy says, reeling his line.

Bigfoot's about to take a bit of the steak when Goofy starts to reel in. He chases it down to catch it. His teeth holds onto the steak and gets pulled by Goofy.

"Quick!" he tells Max when he feels something big on his line. "Get the camera!"

Max hands Goofy the camera while he struggles to reel in more.

"Must be over three pounds!" Goofy comments, recording it. "I don't wanna miss this!"

His son watches in horror and shock when Bigfoot appears in their view and the camera's.

"Look, Max," Goofy gasps in awe.

"Uh, duh, duh, dad…." Max freaks out, "it's Bigfoot!"

"Could you backup a bit Mr. Foot?" Goofy asked him with a smile. "You're out of focus."

Than Bigfoot roars!
*Viki's POV*

I am helping out with Aunt Vivi and Mr. Pete with the dinner when I hear a roar. Aunt Vivi and I look to see Goofy and Max running towards camp screaming for their lives, but they weren't alone.

"Bigfoot!" Pete screams in terror.

Aunt Vivi and I too scream in horror and running towards our car. Mr. Pete gets his stuff and the equipment into the RV before driving off in a heartbeat.

I run over to the passenger seat of our car, but it wouldn't open.

"Aunt Vivi, it's locked!" I screamed to her.

She runs over to unlock it which we quickly got inside where we see Max and Mr. Goof getting into their car through their moonroof.

Bigfoot is approaching fast towards them. Mr. Goof rolls the window closed. It finally closed just as Bigfoot gets over there. He rocks the car back and forth for a moment before focusing on the equipment that Mr. Goof has unpacked.

"Remember when I told you about anything is possible?" Aunt Vivi asked me when as we watch what has happened.

"Yes, I do remember," I tell her, next to her. "The existence of Bigfoot is possible and we are witnessing him now."

"Good thing Mr. Goof has it on tape," she smiles than frowns when she sees the camera being destroyed by Bigfoot. "Or not."

"Should we get out of here?" I asked my aunt.

"Good idea," she says, looking for her keys, but stops when we see Bigfoot having Mr. Goof's keys. "Looks like we are going to be here for a while."
