The next night after everyone had gone to bed, the gang crept out of their cabins and made their way towards the beach. So they didn't arouse suspicion they left the camp in twos and threes. Phil and Will were the first to leave and with them they took a bottle of vodka, three huge bags of marshmallows and some blankets. Emma and Sam followed at a distance both talking and giggling and carrying with them several large torches. After that Smithy and Dan escaped meeting up with Kerry and Honey on the way past the Rec. Almost everything they had decided to take was already being looked after so they were free to walk along holding hands and stopping occasionally to kiss.

As they ditched all the stuff in a big pile by the beach, the guys went off to find some driftwood to build a fire with. The girls all stretched out on the sand and began gossiping about the goings on in the camp over the past few days. The most prominent of which was the fact that Sam and Phil had finally got together after weeks of lusting over each other. Sam of course, was very shy about discussing what her and Phil had been getting up to but a few swigs from the vodka bottle was sure to cure all that.

When the blokes returned they turned all alpha male and began to fight over the best way to build the fire. In the end the girls set it up and lit it while the guys stood still arguing. Each of the girls silenced their boy in a different way but ultimately they ended up cuddled with their boyfriend around the roaring fire.

After passing around the vodka bottle a few times and eating almost all of the marshmallows, the group began to get a bit less shy around each other. Emma sat on Will's lap facing him and proceeded to kiss him passionately in front of the others. Most of them sat open mouthed at this public display of affection which they never though would have come from her. Sensing that they were watching she turned around and gave them the finger before giggling cutely.

She turned around in Will's arms and placed his hands on her hips. He kissed her neck every so often and most of the other couples were in similar positions. When they had all surfaced for air they began to play truth or dare.

"Emma…truth or dare?" Sam asked her grinning. She replied truth and Sam sat thinking for a moment before deciding on her question. "You ever slept with anyone?" She said laughing at Emma's expression.

"I…um well yeah. It was Will." She added giggling.

"Oh my god!" Honey exclaimed her mouth wide open. "Where? When? We need details girlie!"

"Erm well over there." Emma said pointing at a secluded spot on the beach further over to their right. "And when…last week on erm Wednesday wasn't it babe?" She added turning to look at Will who was also smiling and nodding.

"Okay Sam it's your turn." Emma said taking control of the game. When Sam chose dare, Emma already had the idea in her mind. "Okay well you have to kiss every boy here and give him marks out of ten." She said giggling.

"Okay but no tongues boys or Phil's gonna kill ya." Sam said warningly before crawling round the circle till she got to Smithy. After kissing them all she sat back grinning. "Ready boys…well I thought that Phil was the best obviously cause he's my boyfriend and also cause he cheated and used his tongue like he usually does. Erm second was Smithy cause he was really passionate without using his tongue, then it was Will cause he was really sweet about it and quite gentle. Last was Dan because I think he's too scared of Phil to try hard!" Sam exclaimed laughing at Dan's scared expression.

The game continued until almost everyone had had two shots. "Okay." Kerry said leaning back on her elbows. "This one's for all the guys to do together. You all have to go skinny dipping in the sea and you can come out when we tell ya." She added smirking.

The boys all grumbled and muttered to themselves but it was only a matter of time before they were letting their girlfriends help them shed their clothes and then they were forced in the lukewarm water. After about ten minutes, the girls had gone back to the fire giggling about how the guys were all being really quite self-conscious about it. They didn't notice the boys congregating in a little group in the shallows and they didn't hear their whispered plot either.

They had no idea what was happening until the boys all ran up the beach and each picked up their girl and ran with them back into the water. They splashed about and shrieked a bit before finding a warm spot in the water and sitting down on their boyfriends and beginning to kiss them.

Soon after though the girls began to get a bit tired so they all went back onto the shore and cuddled up under the blankets, watching the glowing embers of the fire crackle and finally fizzle out. "I love you." Will whispered gently in Emma's ear.

"I love you too babe." Emma replied desperately trying not to fall asleep. "Today's been great. I can't wait for tomorrow though." She added thinking over the days events and the better ones that were set to come. At 3.30 in the morning the group all traipsed back into the camp ground and sneaked stealthily up the hill and into their separate cabins.

They had been right to not invite some of the others from camp. This was definitely a couples night!

All of the day, all of the night

You do the things that make me feel so right

My shining star, my shining light

And that's the day and night babe
