Hey my little duckies… Just kidding, I'm not Mad Mod, but you never know… he might make an appearance in this story. Yay, okay so school has started for me, so it means less time for me to write but I swear I will try my best to update weekly and if not, I'll make the chapter extra-long. I swear it so much easier just to write about the titans going to school than actually going to school.
I just want to take a moment. I am updating my 20th chapter. Over 100,000 words. Over 300 reviews. Over 50 favorites. Over 70 followers. I never knew how far I would get into this story, but I am so glad I am where I am. I love ya'll for sticking with me. I literally want to wrap ya'll in one of Starfire's hugs.
Okay, on with your chapter. If you have any ideas that the gang should do while camping. Just leave a review and I'll try my best to squeeze it in there.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything. I think this is my last disclaimer.
By Day One Way, By Night Another.
Chapter 20.
"I can't believe you actually talked me into this!" Adrienne said as all the other girls giggled.
"Loosen up." Kori said as she smiled. "It was all Donna's idea."
"It was not all my idea," Donna said as she looked at Jenifer.
"All I did was go outside to get a water bottle from the cooler." Jenifer said.
"Yeah, and just happened to be the same time as Donna?" Karen laughed into her hand.
"I didn't follow her out there!" Jenifer practically yelled.
"God bless Jenn," Toni gasped, "You could scare all the bloody people in the woods.
"Well, it just happened that Jenifer was outside that I realized that we weren't really tired." Donna said with a smile. "We just said we were tired so we could get away from the boys."
"Could we hurry up, it's getting kind of cold out here." Adrienne said as she rubbed her bare arms.
"Ready?" Kori said happily.
"Is that a question I really want to answer?" Adrienne asked with a groan.
All six of the girls were currently standing on the edge on a wooden dock that was only a few minutes from their tents facing the still dark water of the nearby lake. They were all wearing their bathing suits and rubbing their arms from the cold midnight breeze. Kori slipped her hand into Adrienne's and gave her a friendly smile then slipped her other hand into Donna's. Donna quickly slipped her hand into Jenifer's, startling her. Jenifer gave Donna a confused look but then saw that Kori was holding Adrienne and quickly took the hint and slipped her hand into Karen's who slipped her hand into Toni's.
"Watch me be the geezer that trips on this wood instead of jumping in." Toni said into the silent air. All of a sudden all the girls busted out laughing.
"Geezer?" was all Karen could manage.
"Yeah, it's what you lads would call an um, dude." Toni tilted her head in confusion. "Is the word geezer such an unusual?"
"Yes!" All the girls said in unison as they laughed.
"Gotta love British people." Adrienne said as she wiped a tear of laughter with her free hands.
"I'm jumping!" Kori said happily. "One. Two. Three!" All 5 girls jumped in and screamed as their bodies slid it the now unstill water.
"Adrienne!" Kori brushed her wet hair out of her face, "How dare you not jump!"
"It looks cold." Adrienne shrugged as she sat down on the edge of the dock.
"It's actually quite warm." Toni said as she splash Adrienne lightly.
"If you don't jump in, I'll pull you in." Kori grabbed Adrienne's legs that were hanging off the dock.
"You wouldn't dare." Adrienne gave Kori a cold stare. Without hesitation Kori gave a soft tug to Adrienne's feet, making her freak out and jump into the water with a yelp.
"I hate you." Adrienne said as her head resurface the water.
"Ah, this is the life." Karen said as she floated on her back. "Look at the moon." She pointed at the bright white figure that was in the mix of the clear stars.
"It's like I can see the Milky Way." Donna said as she tightened her bikini top.
"It look much better in person," Kori said as all their eyes shoot to her, "I heard the sent these cameras to space and took pictures. They are truly beautiful." Kori half lied to cover her outburst.
"I think I saw 'em." Toni said as she swam around in circle.
"Do you think the boys are still up?" Karen asked as she messed with one of her curls.
"Oh, they are." Donna laughed as she looked at Jenifer. "When we were at the cooler, we heard Wally and Gar laughing like crazy."
"Then that's when you got the idea of waking us up and telling us to put on the suits of bathing." Kori happily waded through the water.
"Yep." Jenifer turned to Donna as she tried to keep her bangs out of her face. "Speaking about Wally." Karen let out a laugh at the mention of Wally. "What?" Jenifer gave a look to Karen.
"Nothing." Karen said as she looked at the stars with a smile on her face.
"Anyways, are you and Wally a thing?" Jenifer asked flatly.
It was now Donna's turn to let out a laugh.
"What is going on?" Jenifer asked in confusion.
"Wally is like my annoying little brother that likes to show me off." Donna said as she stopped laughing, "He and I will never be a thing." Suddenly a smile crossed her face as she poked Jenifer's cheek. "Plus, how could I possibly even think about dating him when he's too busy talking about you."
Suddenly a bright blush covered her face. "Stop lying." Jenifer moved her finger away.
"I wouldn't be surprise," Karen said as she laughed at her blushing friend. "He asked a whole bunch of questions about you today while you were at the store."
"You really think I'm lying?" Donna smiled, "He talked so much about you, I was kind of shot down when you shut me out."
"Shut you out?" Jenifer asked.
"Yeah, with your stares and quite remarks." Donna laughed.
"That's because I thought you were flirting with Wally!" Jenifer exclaimed immediately regretting it.
"Someone likes Wally!" Karen said as she splashed Jenifer. Soon all the girls were splashing Jenifer as she accepted her embarrassment.
"Hey, why don't we bring out 't surprise." Toni said as soon as all the splashing come down to a minimum.
"Yes, please." Kori said happily as she clapped her hands. "I've been waiting to see what you've brought in the bags."
"Well, you're going to have to keep waiting," Adrienne said as she swam to the edge of the dock where a small wooden ladder was, "Because this is only what is in one of the bags. The other bags are at the tent."
"So even more surprises?" Kori asked happily.
"Yes and they'll all be opened soon enough." Toni said as she watched Jenifer climbed up the ladder and sat next to Adrienne who was facing away from the lake and fumbling with the bag. Jenifer quickly pulled out a lighter and lit it with a devilish smile.
"I swear if your plan is to pour gasoline into the lake and throw the lighter and crash us all on fire because we were messing with you for liking Wally," Karen paused, "I would totally understand."
"Does it look like I could carry enough gas in this one bag to set the whole lake on fire?" Jenifer rolled her eyes, "Plus I'd rather catch Wally on fire."
"Jenifer, lighter." Adrienne said as Jenifer tossed the lighter to her and Jenifer started to tear open small boxes.
"Don't burn yourself." Kori said concerned.
"It's a possible chance that there might be axe murder and you're worried about Adrienne burning herself?" Donna stared at Kori with wide eyes. Kori just shrugged and continued to swim happily.
"How long is 'tis going to take?" Toni asked as she looked at her fingers in the moonlight, "My fingers are pruning up."
"Almost done." Adrienne said as she blew out the lighter flame. "Ready?"
"Whenever you are." Jenifer said with an evil smile. Adrienne gave a small nod and Jenifer ran off the dock. As she was in midair, Jenifer threw small colorful balls in the lake as the other girls screamed as she cannonballed into the lake.
"What did she just throw in here?" Karen screeched as the water started to foam up.
"Bombs." Kori swam away from the now multicolored foam as Donna just swam towards the foam and started laughing.
"Ahh!" Toni screamed as she was pulled underwater.
"Shark!" Karen screamed as she swam towards the dock as Adrienne laughed frantically.
"Toni!" Kori yelled as she towards where Toni disappeared. Suddenly both Jenifer and Toni's head popped up as they laughed.
"What's so funny?!" Karen demanded as she held on to the ladder.
"'Tis is a fresh water lake." Toni said between laughs.
"And…"
"Sharks c-can… only survive… in… salt… water." Jenifer busted out laughing as Karen's turned red.
"What the hell did you throw in the water?" Karen exclaimed.
"Bath bombs." Donna answered as she swam around the colorful foam and water. "That's why it's foaming."
"I was wondering why Donna wasn't reacting to it." Adrienne laughed as she slid into the water, "She knew all along."
"Then why did you use the fire?" Kori said as she tilted her head in confusion.
"For those." Adrienne simply pointed to a few small fake lily pads that had white candles on top of it.
"Wow, you were trying to make this a beautiful scene and all we did was scream like idiots." Karen said as she slid down the ladder and back into the water.
"This is absolutely beautiful." Kori said as she waded through the foam.
"I have a question." Donna offered as she swam towards a fake lily pad. "How did you know we were going to go midnight swimming?"
"What do you mean?" Adrienne tried pushing her long jet black hair out of her way.
"I mean, how in great Poseidon did you know to buy bath bombs and floating candles?" Donna asked.
"Oh…" All Adrienne could do was laugh at the memory of them in the store. Karen and Donna gave confused looks as Jenifer joined the laughter.
"It was bloody hell," Toni finally spoke up, "We went in 't store to buy a couple of things so we don't get bored. These hooligans went around the store like little children, buying whatever looked pretty."
"In my defense, I knew we were going to use the lily pad candles at some point." Adrienne cut through the dark water.
"The bloody total was over 300 dollars." Toni exclaimed.
"I paid for it all, I told you not to worry about it," Jenifer said with ease. Suddenly screamed sharply as something pinched her butt. Within a matter of seconds, Kori's red hair popped up. "What the hell, Kori. You nearly scared me to death." Jenifer splashed Kori as she giggled.
"I was playing shark." Kori said between giggles.
"Shhh." Donna held up her finger.
"Donna, no one's up this late," Karen floated.
"Someone's coming!" Donna waved her hands as everyone started to swim towards the dock.
"Under 't dock." Toni said as all the girls swam underneath the wooden dock as Donna quickly climb up on to the dock and took the towels they brought and covered the bag then quickly slid down the ladder into the warm lake water and joined the other girls.
Jenifer held her finger to her mouth indicating to quiet down as the air thinned out and all you could hear was the girls' heavy breathing.
"This way!" A voice said from a distance.
"Who do you think screamed?" Asked a shaking voice. "I mean, it might have been any of the campers."
"Better question is why." The first voice said as they stepped onto the wooden dock.
"Who is it?" Donna whispered as Adrienne and Toni looked through the cracks between the wood.
"I can't tell, they're not close enough." Toni hushed as the creaks from the wood from the weight of the people got louder.
"Well whoever they are, they're getting closer now." Karen whispered as she and Jenifer held onto a wooden post.
"It's the boys." Adrienne quietly announced.
"Which ones?" Donna asked as she tried to look through the cracks as she creaks got closer and closer.
"Look." One of the voices said.
"That could be anyone's towels, which could have been here since yesterday." The other voice said.
"Oh my," Toni said under her breath, "It's Gar and Victor."
"What." Karen said as she let go from the post to look through the crack to see that they were right on top of on the girls.
"He he." Kori giggled.
"Shh." Jenifer covered Kori mouth.
"Did you hear that?" Gar asked.
"Hear what?" Victor said as he looked around, "Slim Jim, you're just being paranoid. You've been watching too many Lake Monster movies."
"I'm being serious." Gar huffed.
Jenifer slowly uncovered Kori mouth, "My apologies, the underwater grass is tickling my feet." Kori said barely in a whisper.
"Wait, I have an idea." Toni whispered quietly as she pulled Adrienne away from the cracks.
"Dude, can we just get out of here?" Gar asked and the bounced on his heels.
"We need to be looking for the girls." Victor sighed as he turned to look towards the woods, "They are really starting to worry me. I mean, wouldn't they tell us if they were leaving to go somewhere?"
"You don't think something took them, do you?" Gar said in a shaking voice.
"You need to calm down, it's all in your head." Victor said as they started to walk back towards the woods. Suddenly they heard a loud groan come from behind them. They both turned around to see where it was coming from.
"OH MY GOD!" Gar squealed as he turned to see a small green slimy creature slowly walk towards them.
"If I were you I'd run." Victor as he slowly backed up.
"What about you?" Gar said.
"I can outrun you any day." Victor said as Gar looked at him.
"No you couldn't." Gar shot back. Suddenly the creature ran towards them and without a word, both Victor and Gar turned around and ran towards the woods faster than ever. They were gone by the time the green slimy creature wipe away the wet underwater grass of its body to reveal its natural form, Adrienne.
"They're gone." Adrienne said as she started to peel off all the grass from her. "I can't believe I actually agreed to this."
"You got to see their faces, we didn't. That's why you did it." Karen said as she climbed up the ladder.
"We need to hurry and get out of here." Toni said as she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her shivering body.
"What? Why?" Kori asked as she ringed out her long hair.
"She's right. Gar and Victor are going to tell the rest of the boys that they saw a monster and they are going to want to investigate." Donna said.
"Or maybe they'll stay away." Jenifer offered as she wrapped a towel around her slim body.
"I doubt that." Karen said as Adrienne jumped off the dock one last time to wash off the grass that was still stuck to her skin.
"C'mon." Adrienne said as she climbed the ladder and grabbed the last towel and wrapped it around her and grabbed the bag.
"Where do we exactly go?" Karen asked as they quietly ran off the dock, "We can't exactly go back our tent."
"Why not?" Toni asked as they took the long way to their campsite.
"Because the boys are looking for us," Jenifer said as she and the other girls slowed their run to a walk. "Instead of going back, we should have a little fun with this."
"Making the boys worry about us isn't right." Donna stated as Kori nodded.
"If we woke up and the boys were gone would you think it would be funny?" Kori asked softly as Jenifer looked down to the ground.
"So back to 't tent?" Toni asked as she fixed her towel so all you could see was her bare shoulders.
"Toni, you're a genius." Karen said as she fixed her towel around her and undid her bikini straps and hid them in her towel so it looked like all she had on was a towel.
"What are you doing?" Adrienne gave a look of confusion.
"I'm going to have some fun without worrying the boys." Karen had a wicked grin, "Here's the plan."

"I swear, I'm not lying!" Gar almost screamed as all the other boys stood by their tent with looks of disbelief on their faces, "Even Vic saw it!"
All the boys turned to Victor for an explanation, "Look, I think we were just paranoid and tired and just saw things." Victor yawned proving that he was tired.
"Dude! We saw the exact same thing!" Gar exclaimed. "It ran towards us."
"Gar, if you're playing some kind of prank, you better stop now. We still need to look for the girls." Dick was not in the mood to play games.
"Dick, we split into groups and searched the whole entire camp." Garth sighed, "I hate to admit it but the girls aren't here."
"They have to be here!" All the boys stepped back at Wally's sudden outburst. Except for Dick, none of the boys even seen Wally angry, and it WASN'T pretty.
"Maybe they took a car and went into the small town we passed up?" Roy stated but it sounded more like a question.
"We already checked to see if any of the cars were missing." Dick stated sounding more worried than ever.
"Maybe they walked?" Victor asked.
"Or maybe they got eaten…" Gar said as the rest of the boys stared daggers at him, "it was just a suggestion."
"Wait, do you hear that?" Roy said as all the boy suddenly quieted down.
"Oh no, that's the same exact thing that Gar said before that thing chased us…" Victor said as he watched Gar shake.
"Wait, I hear it too." Garth paused as he listened closer, "It's giggling."
"Kori…" was all that Dick said before she took off towards the girls' tent as the rest of the boys followed. They all had got there just in time because the girls had just gotten out of the trail that led to the campsite. Without a word, Dick ran up to Kori and wrapped his arms around her. "You had me worried sick." was all that the ebony haired boy could manage as he hugged her tighter.
"Oh Richard." Kori said softly as she returned the hug making her long wet hair tickle the back of Dick's arms.
Dick just pulled away enough from him to be face to face to her. His sapphire eyes immediately got lost in her emerald pools. "Kori, promise me that no matter what, you'll never leave me like that again."
"I promise to all the stars in the galaxy," Kori said with a smile.
"I thought you got eaten by the lagoon monster!" Gar as he practically jumped into Adrienne's arms into a hug.
"Why are you all wet?" Gar's immediately changed. "You were in the lake! You can't be in the lake. There's a monster out on the loose."
Adrienne tried her hardest not to laugh at the memory of Gar face's when he saw this 'monster'. "Monster? What have you been smoking?"
"Why isn't anyone believing me?" Gar said as he pulled away from the hug and crossed his arms.
"Why would you do that to me?" Wally said as he looked at Jenifer and then wrapped her in an unexpected hug.
"Wally, I'm literally dripping wet." Jenifer said as she watched Karen and Toni make faces to her behind Wally's back.
"I literally don't care." Wally said as he half mocked. He quickly pulled away and his suddenly changed from caring to angry, "Where were you? We were looking for you guys EVERYWHERE."
"Wally, they are here now, isn't that all that matters?" Dick said with his arms still wrapped around Kori.
"No, Wally's right, they just can't get up in the middle of the night and leave without out a word," Roy exclaimed at the ginger who lost his temper.
"Guys, it's not that big of a deal. I mean we were planning on pranking them without telling them." Victor felt guilty that the girls were getting yelled at.
"That's a whole different thing though." Gar protested, "They knew exactly where we were."
"Pranking?!" Karen yelled, "You were playing on pranking us while we were sleeping?"
"Uh…" Dick rubbed the back of his neck nervously as he turned to the furious Wally. "Care to explain."
"As soon as they care to explain where and what they were doing at midnight." Wally said as he stared down at the girls.
"We were merely doing the dipping of the skinny." Kori said very nonchalantly.
Within seconds the air changed from carrying anger to awkward fog. The boys furious faces immediately changed as all their eyes fell to the ground. None of them dared to speak a word.
"She means skinny dipping if you couldn't translate." Toni said as she tried her hardest not to bust out laughing at the sudden change in the boys.
"Yeah, I think we got that." Garth said as he avoided eye contact with the girls and suddenly from the treetops interesting.
Wow, this plan is working better than I expected, Karen smirked, and the boys are too embarrassed to even yell at us.
"Why w-would you go out this l-late?" Wally stuttered as he tried his hardest to keep his eyes on Jenifer and not to stare at Jenifer's bare shoulders or any lower.
"So no one could see us, isn't it obvious." Jenifer tilted her head as she looked in his sky blue eyes.
"And we didn't tell you guys' cause we didn't want to be stopped." Donna smiled at the bright red blush Roy had every time she even looked in his direction.
"So is this interrogation over yet because I'm tired as can be." Adrienne looked at Gar and suddenly he looked at the ground.
"Uh, yeah you guys can go to bed." Dick said awkwardly.
"No goodnight kisses?" Karen joked as all the boys, especially Victor, choked.

"Wakey Wakey." Dick pulled the covers away from Wally.
"It's too early." Wally groaned as he just turned over.
"That's exactly what I thought when you woke me up at midnight." Dick said as he pulled the pillow from underneath Wally's head.
"You don't understand how hard it was to fall asleep especially after the girls…" Wally snoozed.
"Trust me, I couldn't sleep either." Dick said in thought, "But everyone's already outside." Dick smacked him with the pillow.
"Five more minutes." Wally moaned, "I'm having a really good dream."
"Okay you asked for it." Dick said as he grabbed Wally's waistline and in one quick swing Wally was thrown across the tent.
"You know, Dick. I hate you." Wally said as he jumped up and went out the tent door with Dick quickly following him. Both of them walked out to see that the boys had grabbed the two wooden picnic table that the campsites came with and connected them and the group sat in their pajamas as they munched on eggs that Victor was cooking on a tiny mobile gas stove.
"The party just arrived." Wally bowed as everyone looked at him.
"Nice bed head." Adrienne said sarcastically as Wally quickly ran his hand through his messy scarlet hair.
"It's his all natural look." Gar said as the group laughed.
"I don't know what's more embarrassing, his hair or his pajamas." Roy said as Garth high fived him.
"Wha-" Wally said as he looked down at his dark blue plaid sweat pants then at his dark grey shirt that said 'Lady's Man' is white bold letters.
"It's better that wearing fish!" Wally said as he pointed to Garth whose was wearing shorts that had tiny little fish on them.
"Stop trying, lady's man." Dick said as he slid into his spot next to Kori.
"Wally if you're going to want any eggs then you better speak up now." Victor said as he flipped an egg.
"I'd like about five eggs." Wally said as he sat at the end of the table next to Gar.
"So what are we doing today chief?" Gar asked.
"Don't ask me." Wally said as he licked his lips, "What are you eating?"
"Whole grain cereal with soy milk." Gar said with a smile.
"It's the devil's food." Victor said as he handed Wally a plate with eggs.
"What do you mean 'don't ask me', didn't you plan this camping trip?" Karen questioned as Victor just sat by her and started munching on the bacon he cooked.
"I just paid for the camping spots." Wally said with his mouth full.
"Do you not have manners?" Toni said as she got up from the table and threw her plastic plate and fork away.
"Wally doesn't even know what the word manners means." Dick scoffed as he finished his eggs.
"Wait, so we are just going to sit here and do nothing?" Adrienne asked. "Nice planning."
"Well, we have all this stuff that those guys brought." Kori said as she drank her orange juice.
"We could do whatever but it's going to get hot in a little bit." Garth said as he looked at the sun, "It's almost midday."
"Wait, where's Donna and Roy?" Wally chugged his orange juice.
"Oh, they went on a stroll." Toni said with a sweet smile.
"A romantic stroll." Karen said as the girls giggled.
"I'm surprise he didn't notice that Jenifer wasn't here." Adrienne monotoned as she drank her tea.
"Oh where is Jenifer?" Wally repeated.
"I swear you have 't brain of a child." Toni returned and took Kori's empty plate.
"Let me assist you." Kori said as she started to help Toni pick up all the plastic plates and cups.
"Wait, where is she?" Wally handed Kori his plate.
"Didn't she eat breakfast with us?" Gar said as he tapped his brain as if it would help him think.
"You don't remember talking to her just ten minutes ago?" Adrienne asked disappointed.
"Uh…" Gar rubbed his head.
"Idiot." Was all Adrienne said as Gar blushed.
"Ya'll are too cute." Victor said causing both Adrienne and Gar to blush in unison.
"Shh, you can't say that in front of them." Karen laughed as she playfully hit Victor.
"So you'd just say it behind her back?" Garth said with a smirk.
"You guys are avoiding the question, where is Jenifer."
Xxx
"So it was your idea to go to the lake at midnight?" Roy laughed as he walked Donna down one of the trails.
"Well, I saw that Jenifer was up so I figured if she wasn't really tired then none of the girls were really tired," Donna said happily, "And why waste a beautiful night."
"You could have let the girls sleep and just asked me to go midnight swimming with you." Roy smile at the thought of them swimming underneath the stars.
"And what, spoil you boys plan to prank us?" Donna laughed as she poked his cheek, "I'm glad I got the girls out of there. What was your prank anyways?" Donna said as she stopped walking and looked at a big old oak tree. "Mind if I climb?"
"Do want ever you want." Roy smiled as he watched her gracefully climb the tree, "And it was Wally's prank, not mine. I just woke up at the wrong time."
"Why don't you climb up?" Donna asked as she sat on a sturdy branch.
Roy just shrugged as he started to climb the tree. "Wally's plan was to throw water balloon and squirt you girls with water guns while you all was sleeping." Roy said as he stood on a branch below Donna and put his elbows on Donna's knees that were dangling.
"Now that would have been a mess, I don't want to imagine what the other girls would have done to you guys if we were there." Donna laughed, "Do you have a pocket knife?"
"Always." Roy said as he dug in his back pocket for a few seconds then handed her a black pocket knife. "Adrienne would have probably hung us upside down by our toes." Roy said as he watched as she leaned against the base of the tree. "You're not carving something into the tree are you?"
Donna just smiled as she craved, "Maybe…"
"Man, that's so cliché. And here I thought you were original." Roy joked.
"If you don't stop I'll hang you from your toes," Donna laughed, "Just imagine what Karen would have done, I mean I haven't known her long but I do not want to see that girl angry."
"What are you writing?" Roy said as he trying to peak but Donna just blocked his view with her arm, "Fine, don't show me. Hey, what's up with you and Jenifer?"
"What about her?"
"I sensed some serious hate from her." Roy asked as he messed with the bottom of Donna's pajama pants, "Do you and her have a past?"
"Jenifer? I've never met her before this," Donna continued to carve into the tree, "But she was giving me the stink eye because she thought that I was flirting with Wally." Donna laughed at the thought. "But she and I are good now. I actually think we are going to be really good friends."
"I thought that was you and Kori's job." Roy smirked.
"Yeah, Kori and I are already close friends but I feel that Jenifer has a lot going for her." Donna said as she blew tiny little wood chips away from the tree, "Now you can read it."
Roy quickly read it then made a face of disapproval. There on the big oak tree was carved 'Roy is an idiot' within a little heart. "Ha ha, very funny." Roy said as he shook his head.
"It didn't want to do anything too cliché." Donna said as Roy rolled his topaz eyes. "I wanted it to be classic."
"Give me the knife, I want to add a comment." Roy reached for the pocket knife in her hand but she quickly put it above her head out of his reach.
"No way, didn't you mom ever tell you not to play with knives?" Donna twirled the knife in between her fingers.
"Yeah, but obviously your mom didn't." Roy tried to reach for it again but failed to do so. "Come on Donna please." Roy said as he gave her puppy dog eyes.
"Oh, Kori already tried that on me, it doesn't work." Donna said as she closed the pocket knife and slid into her pajamas pocket. "We better head back or else they'll go have fun without us. You first."
Roy just nodded as he slowly climbed down the tree with ease. "I'm down." Roy yelled as Donna swung her legs.
"Coming," Donna said as started to climb down but her foot quickly slid off the branch causing her to fall. "Ahhh." Donna screamed as a million thought ran through her head. If she fell to the ground, logically she would have a few broken bones, but since she was an amazon no bones would be broken at all, then she would have some explaining to do. If she used her ability to fly it would just make matters worse for her. Before she could make a decision, she landed onto a soft surface. Donna opened her eyes to see she was almost face to face with the ginger boy. She also realized she was currently in his arms.
"You need to be more careful," Roy said as he had a goofy smile plastered on his face, "Never know, next time I won't be able to save you."
"Why are you smiling?" Donna said as she poked him in the cheek as a small blush covered his face.
"Because I never realized how beautiful you were up close." Roy's smile could help to become larger.
"You saved me, my hero." Donna returned the smile, "I owe you my life."
"I know, I'm the best." Roy said as he let her feet slide to the ground, "Come on, let's go back." Roy said as he held out a hand. A tiny blush covered Donna's face as she took his hand within her own.
After about five minutes of walking, Roy and Donna finally came to the opening where all the other were sitting at the table talking.
"I see Wally has finally woken up." Donna said as she went and ruffled Wally's hair. "Did Jenifer get back?" Donna asked the others.
"Nope, I wonder what's taking her so long." Kori said as she tapped her grin.
"What's up with him?" Roy pointed to Wally who had his arms crossed, "Usually it talks."
"He's currently getting us all the cold shoulder because no one would answer his question." Dick said as Wally just scoffed.
"He's being childish." Adrienne monotoned as she looked away from the book she was reading for a split second.
"So he's being the usual." Toni laughed.
"Wait, what was the question?" Roy asked.
"Where did Jenifer go?" Victor said.
"If he had woken up earlier he would have known!" Dick said as she stared at Wally right in the eye.
"Where's Gar?" Donna asked.
"We had to lock him in Darrel's truck to keep him from telling Wally." Karen laughed.
"They are evil people." Garth said as everyone busted out laughing. "Finally, it took her long enough." Everyone looked towards where Garth was looking and saw Jenifer's walking towards them with two small boxes and a closed bucket in her hands.
"Yes. Finally, we can actually do something," Victor said happily, "I'm going to let out the dog."
"The dog?" Toni asked as she watched Victor unlock the truck so Gar could get out, "Oh."
"Where did you go?" Wally said as Jenifer set the boxes and bucket on the table.
"I went for a very long walk." Jenifer stated.
"Stop lying it was not even that long." Karen said.
"I believe it was only a mile, correct?" Kori asked happily.
"Yes, a mile to get there. Another mile to get back. Believe me, it was long." Jenifer sighed.
"Where exactly did you go?" Wally asked.
"The devil's place." Garth muttered.
"The bait shop." Jenifer ran her fingers through her hair.
"Stop with fishing, its wrong." Roy said as he sat by Garth, "You don't have to watch."
"So those are real worms." Gar opened the box, "Cool."
"Can we lock him back in the car?" Adrienne asked as everyone laughed, "I wasn't joking."
"So are we just going to fish off the dock?" Victor asked.
"Do we even have fishing poles?" Toni asked not remembering unpacking fishing poles.
"I have a surprise for you guys." Dick said as he stood up, "But before that, we need to get dressed."
Everyone looked down at their pajamas and nodded in agreement. "We'll meet back here in ten minutes." Karen said as everyone got up from the table and went to the tents. After about seven minutes, the boys come back out of their tents ready to go. Dick was wearing shades, a plain white t-shirt, and black and red swim trunks, Wally had sunscreen on his nose and sunglasses, instead of a wearing a shirt he had a white towel hung over his shoulders and yellow trunks with a red strip across it with matching flip flops, Victor was bearing a plain wife beater with light grey swim trunks, Gar had on swim trunk that looked like a turtle shell and a black t-shirt and a fisherman's hat, while Roy was almost wearing identical to Dick expect his shirt was black and his trunk were white and red as Garth just wore navy blue trunk with no shirt, showing his lean body.
"Where are the girls?" Garth asked as he ran his hand through his long black hair.
"Very typical, they're late." Roy said as he fixed his shades.
"They are probably fixing their makeup." Gar said as she pretended he was putting invisible lipstick.
"Or powdering their faces." Victor pretend to powder his face.
"Now why in the world would we put on makeup if we are going swimming?" Victor and gar slowly turned around to face Karen who had her hands on her hips with a disappointed look on her face.
"I don't exactly speak girl, but I'm pretty sure you're screwed." Dick whispered towards Gar and Victor as Karen rolled her eyes. She was currently wearing a soft yellow shirt that said 'glamorous' in sparkly silver letters and some black shorts.
"Okay to be fair, the rest of the girls are late…" Wally said as pointed to the girls' tent where giggling was heard. Just in time, Adrienne quickly escaped the tent wearing a dark blue see through shirt that you could see the outline of Adrienne bathing suit and dark jean shorts.
"It's a mad house in there." Adrienne said as she tied her hair in a ponytail.
"What are they doing in there?" Gar asked as they heard more laughter.
"Braiding hair, talking and about boys, being typical girls." Adrienne scowled.
"Everything that Adrienne is not." Karen laughed.
"Okay, I'll give them five more minutes but if they take any longer, its war." Wally said as he nodded to the boys.
"Wally, we are not using the water guns on the girls." Garth said as he hit Wally.
"I was only joking…" Wally muttered as he turned to Dick, "So what's the plan boss?"
"Plan is to go to the loading dock." Dick said as he swirled the keys he got yesterday around his fingers.
"Loading dock?" Roy made a face. "That's about five miles away."
"There's no way I'm walking five miles," Adrienne crossed her arms.
"I completely agree with Adrienne," Karen stated, "Within ten minutes of walking, we'd all have a heatstroke."
"We could always take the cars." Gar offered.
"It'd be too much trouble taking all the cars," Roy said as he looked at Jenifer's mustang, "But I wouldn't mind driving that classic."
"In your dreams." Garth nudged Roy.
"We could always take just Darrel's truck." Victor offered.
"That's actually a pretty good idea." Dick ran his hand through his hair.
"How is that a good idea?" Gar asked as he scratched his head, "You can only fit four people in the truck."
"Oh my, you are an idiot," Adrienne said as Gar gave her a blank face, "The rest of us could ride in the bed of the truck so we only take one car."
"Ohhh…" Gar said as he put the pieces together.
"GIRLS, WE'RE LEAVING." Roy yelled as he and Garth ran towards the car.
"We call the back." They said in unison as they climbed into the back seat.
"I'm shotgun." Karen said as she twirled her hair around her finger. "There's no way I'm letting the wind ruin my hair."
"Coming." Kori yelled as she exited the tent. It took everything in Dick not to let his jaw at the sight of her. She wore her hairs in two long braids and a strapless pink ruffled bikini top with jean shorts that showed off her amazing tan legs. "Toni grab the towels, please." Kori yelled back inside of the tent as Donna came out wearing a white t-shirt that had a faded American flag on it and tears on the side in the shirt exposing her blue and pink bikini and some grey shorts.
"Here!" Donna yelled as she tossed Kori a towel, "Jenifer, Toni. They are going to leave us." Donna said as she saw the others climb up to the bed of the truck.
Jenifer and Toni quickly exited the tent with Toni's hair braided into a tiny braid and her wearing her black tankini top and some matching swimming shorts as Jenifer had her hair tied up and was wearing no glasses and wore a t-shirt that said 'Melanie Martinez' and some jean shorts. They quickly jumped on the bed on the truck as Victor closed the tailgate of the truck.
"Ready?" Victor asked as he climbed into the driver's seat. A few seconds later the engine roared as he went down the road.
"We are the kings!" Wally said as he stood up with his arms in the air.
"I love that band!" Toni said as a confused look crossed Wally's face.
"Huh?"
Jenifer quickly slapped the back of Wally's calf, "Sit down before you fall." Wally just smiled as he slid next to her.
"Yes ma'am." He slurred as she rolled her eyes. "Hey boss, what are those keys for?"
"You'll see." Dick said as they pulled up into the loading.
"Is it for that?" Kori said as she pointed to something at the dock.
Dick just nodded as all the others' jaw dropped.
"No way."
