Chapter 1: Camping Trip

Nico rubbed the sleep from his eyes and glanced at his clock.

"Oh crap nine! I'm late for school!" He shouted as he jumped out from his bed and threw on his clothes before sprinting down the stairs.

"Honey where are you going?" His mum asked from the kitchen.

"I'm late for school mum!" Nico replied as he hurriedly zipped up his jacket and picked up his schoolbag. He paused when he heard his mum laughing.

"What's so funny?" He asked as he walked into the kitchen.

His mum stopped laughing for a second to answer his question.

"It's Saturday honey no school."

Nico face palmed.

"Oh my god did I really just do that?" He asked his mum as a grin appeared on his face.

"Yes you did you numpty."

Nico started laughing too.

"Right I'm off back to bed." He announced.

"No you're not." His mum told him. "Don't you remember what's happening today?"

Nico thought for a moment.

"No..." He replied slowly.

"Joes invited you to go camping with him this weekend."

"Oh yeah!" Nico remembered.

"So have you packed everything?"

"Um...almost..."

His mum sighed.

"Go finish packing." She told him.

"Fine..." He grumbled as he plodded back upstairs.

Ten minutes later he bounded down the stairs with his green rucksack slung over his back.

"I'm ready!" He announced.

"Good for you." His mum replied as she handed him some toast.

"So when's Joe coming to get you?" She asked.

"Around twelve." He answered with a mouthful of toast.

"Ok then. So you've got everything?"

"Yes mum." Nico sighed.

"Your phone?"

"Yes."

"Credit?"

"Yes!"

Toothbrush?"

Nico hesitated.

"Nice try." His mum told him.

Nico groaned.

"But mu-"

"No buts now go and get it."

Nico muttered to himself as he thumped back up the stairs and grabbed his toothbrush from the bathroom.

He paused at the foot of the stairs and looked back at his room.

"I feel I'm forgetting something." He thought to himself.

"My iPod!" He remembered as he rushed into his room and picked up the rectangular device.

"Whew that was close." He sighed.

He walked down the stairs and slumped on the couch. He was just flicking through cartoons when his mum walked in holding the house phone.

"Nico honey Joe says that he's gonna be picking you up at quarter past ten instead of twelve." She informed him.

"Ok mum." Nico replied as he looked at his watch which read 10:05.

"Ten minutes hmmmm...is that enough time to watch a cartoon?" He wondered as Dragons Riders of Berk came on. "Meh I can start watching one." He decided.

"Nico! Joe's here!" His mum called.

"Just coming!" Nico replied he quickly stuffed some last-minute things in his bag.

"Can't forget my solar charger." He muttered. "How would I charge my iPod?"

After he'd put it in his rucksack. He made his final check on his mental checklist.

"Yep that's everything." He confirmed as he raced down the stairs.

"I'm ready to go." He announced as he reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Ok honey now have a good weekend." His mum told him as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Eww mum that's gross!" Nico protested as he wiped off the kiss.

"Off you go." His mum said a smile.

"See ya on Monday." He called as he ran out the door.

"Hey Joey Joe Joe." Nico called as he climbed into his friend's car.

"Sup?" Joe replied as they did their handshake. "You got everything for camping?" He asked.

"Yep I'm fully prepared, you?"

"I'm ready for two days of nothing but fun." Joe replied.

"That's good."

"Wait where's your dad?" Nico asked.

"Oh he's in your house talking to your mum."

"Oh...is he coming?"

"He's coming up tomorrow night but we're on our own tonight he's got something to do with work on, that ok?"

"Yeah that's perfect." Nico replied. "Oh look here he comes now." He told Joe.

"Hey Nico buddy how's it going?" Joes dad asked as he shook Nico's hand.

"It's going good Mr Pottinger and yourself?"

"I'm good thanks and you know just to call me Derrick, no need for Mr Pottinger." He told Nico.

"Ok Derrick." Nico smiled.

"That's better."

Thirty minutes later.

It was a long drive to where they were camping but with all the chatting the three did it passed quickly. Nico took in a deep breath as he observed his surroundings.

"Aah nice fresh air." Derrick announced as he took the bag carrying the tent out the boot of the car.

"Ok how's about me and Joe set up the tent and you make a start on the two blow up beds." Derrick suggested.

"Yeah ok." The two boys agreed.

"Okay just leave my bed Nico since I'm not staying tonight."

"Ok Derrick."

Nico pulled out two flat grey objects and laid them carefully on the ground. He then pulled out a small foot pump and a tube. He attached one end of the tube to the pump and the other to a hole in one of the grey objects. He then unfolded the grey object till it was fully spread. It was roughly the size of a single mattress but a bit bigger. Nico turned and started working the pump with his foot. It made a loud squeaky noise as the air flowed through it. It took eight minutes to pump it up fully. By then Derrick and Joe were about halfway through putting up the tent.

Nico quickly pulled the tube out the hole in the mattress and stuck a plastic stop in it. He then inserted the tune into the other mattress and repeated the process. Fifteen minutes later all three of them were sitting on fold out chairs drinking a well-earned drink.

"Glad that's over with." Joe said breaking the silence.

"Same." Nico agreed.

"We'll boys since you're all set up I'll be off to get ready for this bloody meeting." Derrick announced as he sat up and drained his cup. "Now take care of each other, don't do anything stupid and I'll see you in the morning." Derrick told them as he climbed into the car. "Have a good day!" He called out the window as he drove off.

The boys watched the car until it had disappeared.

"So whatcha wanna do first?" Joe asked.

"I dunno what we got?"

"Well we have snacks either for throughout the day or tonight and a fishing rod." Joe told him.

"You want to go fishing?" Nico asked as he looked at the nearby loch.

"Yeah help me clear up and we'll go." Joe replied.

Once they'd put everything in the tent and zipped it up Nico and Joe made their way to the loch with Joe carrying the rod and Nico carrying a box to put the fish in.

They set down on some rocks next to the loch and Joe attached some bait to the hook on his rod.

"Lets hope we get something." Joe said.

"Yeah I'm feeling like having fish tonight." Nico replied as he watched the hook fly over the water before landing with a plop and disappearing from view. They watched the small ball floating above the water bobbing slightly. After a few minutes the ball was pulled underwater and the line went taut.

"We got a catch!" Nico shouted as Joe started to wind in the line.

"Jackpot!" He shouted as he saw the fish dangling from the hook.

They stayed for another half an hour in which they caught four more fish. When it got dark they lit up a small gas grill and cooked the fish which Joe had gutted before they left the loch.

"Mmmm smells good." Nico told Joe as he walked out the tent and sat by his friend.

"Yep can't wait to try this." Joe replied.

"When will it be ready?" Nico asked.

"Just now I'd say." How replied as he lifted the two fish from the grill and placed them on two separate plates accompanied with some chips and tomato sauce.

"Dig in!" Joe told Nico as he attacked his food. Nico didn't hesitate to copy his friend and soon the two were scraping their plates and cleaning up. Once they'd done they talked for a bit before Joe announced he was going to sleep. Nico told him he'd be in, in a minute but he wanted to sit outside for a bit longer. He gazed at the stars as he tried to pick out constellations. He managed to find the plough and the two bears but he gave up after that. He crawled into the tent which was filled with Joe's snoring. Nico sighed and opened the part to his room. After he zipped it behind him he kicked off his boots and snuggled into his sleeping bag.

"Meh can't be bothered to get changed." He thought to himself.

After ten minutes if tossing and turning Nico sat up.

"Why can't I get to sleep?" He thought aloud.

He tried again but couldn't. Defeated he pulled out his iPod and a pair of headphones. He yawned as the Apple logo lit up the screen. He typed in his password and opened videos.

"Hmmmm which one shall I choose?" He asked himself before picking his favourite.

"Can't get too much of How to Train your Dragon." He thought happily as the movie loaded.

It had just started when Nico heard a very loud boom.

"Lightning!" He shouted not knowing what to do.

"Calm down Nico you're alright..." He tried to convince himself as he set back down to continue the movie. Hiccup's voice came through the headphones as the movie started and Berk appeared on the screen.

"This is Berk-" Hiccup started but was drowned out by another boom this one much closer. Nico ignored it and turned the volume on his headphones up.

"It snows nine months of the year and hails the other three." He continued.

There was another boom and this time it was close enough for Nico to see the flash of lightning hit the ground. He turned to wake up Joe but another boom cut through his ears. Nico stood up and started to unzip the door with his left hand as his right clutched the iPod which was still playing How to Train your Dragon. Nico had managed to unzip the door and was about to step out when flash of light hit his iPod and everything went black. The last thing he heard was Hiccup saying.

"Dragons!"
