Leia, Kaya, and Naomi are in the same cabin. The three hugging at the idea of getting to know each other. All agreeing Kaya have the middle bed so no one feels left out.
Meanwhile the guys… well let's just say it will be interesting. Dux took the middle saying he liked it. Though that's a part of it, he also wants to keep them from fighting.
The boys are tense as they go for a swim with the others. Luke and Ahusaka are on two different sides of the falls. Both seem calm at the moment.
'Maybe this won't be so bad.' Dux sips a soda looking at the two of them.
"Come on Kaya!" Leia pulls on her arm laughing.
"You look so pretty." Naomi pulls on her other arm.
Kaya is being pulled along in a new swimsuit. Her baby-blue tankini is decorated with white stars. Somehow the color brings out her two different eye colors.
"Wow. They're so cute." All the boys look over at the girls in the different style tankinis; Naomi in purple and Leia in white.
'Then again maybe I'll be a ref for three weeks.' Dux sighs, unable to enjoy the sight, seeing his two friends ready to attack each other.
"I don't know about this." Kaya's tail is between her legs and ears drooped a bit.
"But you look so cute." They both cheer snuggling her on either side.
'I wonder if he'll like it.' Kaya flushes a bit, a certain boy on her mind.
"You okay Dux?" Naomi pats his shoulder as she sits next to him.
"Oh yeah, just getting ready for a storm." Dux sighs heavily, his feet dipped into the water.
"Storm?" Naomi blinks confused.
Then she looks over to see Kaya playing a water ball game. The she spots the two watching her and glare at each other when she's not looking.
'Oh, that storm.' Naomi's eyes widen a bit at that idea.
The next morning all of them get ready for a day of fun. Though everyone becomes aware of a rising storm right at the start. Luke and Ahusaka are ready to compete with each other in right about anything.
It starts at breakfast with them over piling their food and racing to finish first. Then it goes on to the swimming, them doing laps against each other. Kaya's ears droop at this. She wanted her guys to get along.
The straw breaker was at arts and crafts. The two starting a clay throwing match. As the others either join in or hide Kaya felt her blood boil.
"STOP IT!" Kaya yells freezing the clay in the air and placing it on a table glaring at the messy two of boys.
"He started it!" they point to each other. "Me?! You were…" the two started bickering.
The two are stopped by feeling a sting across their cheeks. Turning they see Kaya with a red hand and looks ready to cry.
"I hate both of you!" Kaya shouts with her ears up in anger before she runs off.
"All of you head out to the water while these two clean up." Jake, the head councilor, motions for another to take the kids then looks at the clay covered boys.
"This is your fault." Ahusaka mutters as he cleans.
"Mine? You're the one that started it." Luke huffs.
"Bad enough she's always talking about you." Both boys say at the same time.
The two stop at that looking over at the other. If they had tails they'd be between their legs now realizing they were jealous of the other.
"You like her, don't you?" Ahusaka glances over at him, his tone gentler.
"Yeah." Luke nods. "You?" he looks over at Ahusaka.
"Yeah." Ahusaka nods.
"Guys, do you know where Kaya ran off to? The teachers still can't find her." Leia comes in a bit out of breath.
"Didn't she run to the falls?" Luke looks over at his sister.
"Or the cabin?" Ahusaka begins to worry.
"No, we looked." Leia shakes her head.
The two boys jump up at that. Not even thinking they start scowering the camp for her.
Meanwhile Kaya is in the woods wiping the last of her tears under a tree. She had wanted to have fun on this trip. Have all her friends get along with one another. And now… now she wanted to go home.
'Boys are dummies.' Kaya rubs her eyes hicing a bit.
Then she feels a drop on her face. Looking up she sees the rain starting to come down.
"I better get back." Kaya rubs her eyes standing up. "Wh-which way is camp?" her ears droop not recognizing anything around her and the rain washing away all scents.
"This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to find her? Tracker?" Ahusaka sighs heavily under a gazebo.
"Tracker!" Luke pops up at that. "I can do that. We train together so I know what her force signature is." He points to himself.
"What are you waiting for? Find her!" Ahusaka stands himself.
Luke nods closing his eyes to get a feel for her. Getting an idea of where to look the boys run off.
"I… I wanna go home." Kaya whimpers as she shivers drenched to the bone looking around.
"Kaya/KK!" The boys yell run hugging her.
Kaya nuzzles into both of them needing the warmth. The guys then trying to recall where they came from.
"There you three." Jake sighs with relief holding an umbrella as he finds them wondering about.
He takes them back to get warm and looked over. Kaya wrapped in a warm blanket and handed a cup of coco.
"You poor thing. Once you've dried off I want you in a warm bath and then under the covers." Yana starts towel drying her hair. "And you boys, down all that coco and then head off to your cabin." She looks over at the two now sitting next to each other.
"Yes ma'am." They nod.
Back at the cabin they get ready for bed. A lot on both their minds.
"You know… if we don't stop we'll both lose her. Truss?" Luke holds his hand out for his.
"Truss." Ahusaka takes his hand.
"Oh finally we c-" Dux starts sighing with relief.
"At least until high school." Both boys say at the same time.
'It's a start.' Dux sighs with his ears drooped.
The next morning they plead for Kaya to talk with them again. She was happy they found her but was still mad about how they ruined their first day at camp. They'd have to try hard to get her to forgive them.
"You know they're really trying. Maybe you should forgive them." Naomi looks at the kicked puppy looking boys.
"They're boys, let it go." Leia adds.
"I already have." Kaya chuckles lightly.
"You have?" Her friends eyes widen a bit.
"I just want them to know fighting isn't going to work." Kaya sticks out her tongue playfully.
'Never make her mad.' Both girls feel a twinge of fear at the joy their normally shy friend is getting from this.
