Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did Mark Salling wouldn't even know what a shirt was. Haha.

Another successful morning of running and Noah and I had made it at least a mile and a half before he made us stop.

"You're getting better at this cousin." I said as I handed him his water bottle. He just eyeballed me and took a sip from his bottle. "I was thinking that we should go camping."

"Who?"

"Everyone. It would be fun, and just overnight."

"Yeah. I guess."

*****

I went through my mental list of camping supplies as every one talked in my yard. It was already 5 o' clock and we just about to leave from my yard. I called to John and we all piled into his car and mine. It was an half hour drive out to the lake were we would be camping.

We pulled up to a perfect camping spot. John and I set up the tent while Noah and Amanda fought while starting the fire. He was insisting it was a man job, while Amanda was calling him an idiot and telling him he was doing it wrong.

"Maybe we should use something flammable on the wood to start the fire." Rachel suggested.

"There, you see? Rachel has a good idea." Savanna agreed, her arms waving wildly in the air has she talked.

Rachel smiled at the compliment and shifted on her feet. I thought for a moment about what she had said the other night when we were falling asleep on the floor. I don't have any friends in Lima.

I banished the thought when Savanna made a joke about Noah's incompetence and took the lighter from his hand.

(Rachel)

I was unaware that camping could be such a fulfilling experience. After John and Noah were finally able to start a fire, Claudia and Savanna began to pull branches from a nearby tree. I protested at first, but Amanda quieted my concerns when she explained the branches were 'pokers' and the food Claudia had supplied would be cooked on them. Noah was kind enough to whittle the end of a branch to a sharp tip for me.

After consuming copious amounts of hotdogs, S'mores, and soda, we began to play a ridiculous game called 'Never Have I Ever.' It started innocent enough, but it quickly turned sexual when no one was able to supply anything exciting.

Noah continually lost, while Ted and I both managed to keep at least five fingers up by the end of each game. I was taken back by Claudia's associations with other woman. The thought of her with other women made me feel slightly flustered.

The moon was high in the sky and we had all lapsed into a comfortable silence.

"Let's go skinny dipping." Noah said.

Claudia laughed.

Amanda popped her head up from where it was resting on Ted's shoulder and said. "No, we really should. It would be fun!"

"No. It wouldn't be fun." Savanna retorted. "I'm not getting naked in front of you pervs."

"I'll do it." said John.

"Of course you would, white boy." Claudia laughed. "I'll go swimming, but I'm not getting naked."

"I'll go too." I said.

Noah shot me a disbelieving look and then raised his eyebrows suggestively. I frowned at him and stood.

"Let's go." Claudia said and stood as well.

(Noah)

John, Ted, and myself stood at the edge of the lake in our boxers. The girls had already stripped to their bras and panties and had dove into the lake. I had tried not to stare as Berry undressed and folded her clothes neatly, but it seemed wrong (so wrong it was right) that someone so short could have such long legs. She had whimpered when she entered the cold water.

We watched as they waded slowly into the water. They each exclaimed loudly and laughed when the water reached their lady parts, and once again when it crested their chests. I tried unsuccessfully not to think about Berry.

"Come on, guys! Don't be such girls!" Claudia called from where she tread water, maybe ten feet off shore.

Ted, John , and I looked at each other and shook our heads. "No way!" I called back. "It's too cold!"

"Ted." Amanda called. Her voice was husky. She tilted her head and curled her finger in a 'come hither' gesture. "Come here."

Ted's eyes got wide as he looked warily at Amanda and then the water.

The girls laughed. "Don't tease him Amanda, he might take you seriously." Savanna warned.

"Fuck this pussy shit." I said. I stormed into the lake, clenching my teeth and hissing as my body reacted to the freezing as balls water. I heard Ted and John follow hastily behind me, with similar reactions.

Claudia laughed. "How's it feel?" she asked.

"It's fucking freezing." I said.

Claudia laughed again and splashed water in my face.

I cried out in surprise and shoved water back towards her, but she slipped under the water and the splash hit Berry square in the face. She gasped in surprise as the cold water doused her face. I waited for her to start screaming, but she only smiled and splashed back.

Twenty minutes later, we stepped back onto the coarse sand on the lake's edge soaked and out of breath. The girls changed into dry clothes and Ted and John and I stood around the fire in our boxers. When mine were less wet I pulled my pants back on.

"My god, John, you are white." Claudia said as returned to the fire and rummaged though the cooler.

John slapped a goofy grin on his face and stuck a Captain Morgan pose. He looked ridiculous with his farmers tan.

(Claudia)

I snuggled in between Noah and Rachel when we finally let the fire burn down to embers and headed for the tent. It was pretty close fit, after all, we were shoving seven people into a five person tent.

I liked it better that way. There was less open space and it was easier for me to stay warm.

"I'm going to snuggle with you." I warned.

"Fine, but hands off the junk." Noah said.

"Shut up, Noah. I was talking to Rachel." I said.

"Oh." Rachel said, surprised. 'I suppose that's alright."

"Good." I said and threw my arm around her, snuggling close.

(Rachel)

The first thing I was aware of was the arm around my waist. Claudia obviously has no problem with the close proximity, I thought. The second was the much larger hand that was resting against my stomach. Noah. I realised in horror. Third, was that my fingers were intertwined with those of the larger hand. I froze in fear.

"Noah, I swear to God, that better be a flashlight in your pocket."

The fingers slipped from mine as Noah adjusted himself away from Claudia.

"Sorry cus. I meant to put that in my bag." I could hear the smirk in his voice.

I heard Savanna laugh, then John snicker, then fairly soon the entire tent was shaking with laughter.
