6. Chapter 6: Camping

I move across the grass easily. I must be going a hundred miles an hour and I can feel the wind around me. I fall, get up, and keep running. The picnic tables are there, the trees are there, the gravel road is there. I love how cool the grass is, but it's too wet to sit on. I sit on it anyway.

My mom and dad smile from over there. I wave. It's so easy to run, I think I could run around the whole world. The world is round. I know because I have a globe, only it's at home and right now we're camping. We're going to make s'mores later around the fire, and then I'll sleep in a sleeping bag in one of the tents.

Bloo is all the way up in the tree. He's so high! I see him waving at me from the tallest branches. "How did you get up there, Bloo?"

"Here, I'll show you!" he runs sideways all the way down the big tall trunk of the tree, and then he runs all the way back up. The tree is a hundred feet tall. I try to run up, too, but it just makes me fall. I can't go up to where Bloo is, so he comes down to me.

"Guess what?" he asks.

"What?"

"When it gets dark, we're going on a secret mission. You'll have to find a flashlight."

"What's the mission?"

"I can't tell you, because it's secret." I smile. Secrets are fun. We run some more, until we get tired. Then we eat sandwiches.

A long time later, it starts to get dark. I gather around the fire with my mom and dad and we make s'mores. I don't tell them about my secret mission. Soon they are talking and I can sneak away to where the flashlight is. Bloo and I go into the woods.

The trail is very, very long. It's dark and scary but Bloo seems like he knows the way. Finally he says "We're getting close."

I look around with the flashlight to see what he is trying to show me. We go into a big clearing where there are gray blocks all around, all lined up. They all have names and numbers written on them.

"What is this place?" I ask.

"It's a special kind of place. I don't know what it's called."

"Why are we here?"

"Because this is where your parents are going to be."

"Why?"

Bloo smiles. "It's a secret."

The mission wasn't as much fun as I thought, but another secret sounds like fun. Bloo and I go back to the tent, get in our sleeping bags, and go to sleep.
