Hello, the author here, I want to say thank you for the lovely feedback (Suzza100, casualty the facts, Fanfiction.79 and Gzimmer3) and I hope you all enjoyed the last three chapters. I said last time that I was planning out all the different chapters and I had planned at least one flashback which will be Chapter 28 for everyone who is wondering and I've just planned out another which will be two chapters and they will be Chapter 40 and 41. At the moment I have up to chapter 42 planned and I feel like I should warn you this is going to be a very long fanfic from what I have planned as I want to actually have the teens doing some fun stuff before Ray's boss turns up and ruins it considering they are celebrating Kyle's birthday. I also want to get more flashbacks in so that means I don't know who long this will go on for, so I apologise to people in advance who want the action to hurry up, with it it being my first fanfic I want to make it a long one. Anyway here's the next chapter.


It was two hours into the seven hour journey to the National Park and the teens where enjoying the road trip when a one phone in all the cars started ringing.

Ring Ring

"Hey guys, fancy checking out the new mall as we go past? As Aden wants to get some gas and I think we should stop and get lunch anyway." Belle told the others who had their phones on speaker.

"Why not, I've been wanting to have a look at the new mall since it opened three weeks ago." Maddy replied.

"Yes but Maddy, you always have to go to a mall whether it's new or not. Actually scrape that you just have to go anywhere that sells clothes." Casey laughed down the phone.

"Oi! That's my girlfriend your picking on Casey. Don't worry Maddy it just who you are and I love that about you." Oscar jumped in to the conversation to defend his girlfriend.

"Aww thank you Oscar. That's why I love you, because you always say such sweet things." Maddy told boyfriend.

"Hey! You all complained when me and Pheebs were being all lovey dovey as Sasha calls it but when Maddy and Oscar do it then you all stay quiet. Why is that?" Kyle asked seeming angry about it.

"He's right. Why is it they allowed to do it but not us?" Phoebe asks the others.

"Probably because that don't constantly do it when all of us are around unlike you two, who practically end up making out." April replied to their friend's questions.

Feeling like they were being attacked Kyle and Phoebe shouted at the same time "WE DO NOT!"

"YES YOU DO!" The others all shouted back which turned into all of them including Kyle and Phoebe laughing down the phones.

With that they all hung up after agreeing to go and get gas and food, they even said Maddy could have a look around as they knew she would be angry and upset with them all for the rest of the trip if they said no.

Ray who wasn't that far behind them noticed that they were taking the turn off towards the mall and realising he needed gas as well and that he had literally no stuff to going camping with, he followed them instead of going straight to the National Park and waiting for them to arrive.

Once at the mall the teens including Ray (who was making sure that there was a couple of other cars in between him and them) headed straight to the gas station and filled the cars up and headed over to the mall's multi-storey car park. Once parked after about ten minutes of trying to find spaces on the same floor, they all walked into the mall and straight for the food court.

"TACOS!" Matt shouted suddenly as he saw the stand selling Tacos.

Sasha first to respond "Well I guess we know what Matt will be getting for Lunch. There's so much to chose from, I don't know what to get."

While the other stood thinking about what to get, Matt joined the queue for Tacos. Not noticing that one of the teens was in the queue Ray accidently knocked Matt.

"Watch it!" exclaimed Matt who didn't appreciate being knocked by a stranger.

"Sorry son. I didn't mean to." Ray apologised just as Matt walked up to the till to order he though to himself. Crap the boss is going to kill me I interacted with one of them and he told me not to. I guess I could say I didn't realise he was in the queue and that I accidently fell into him. There again I don't have to tell him its not like he can find out. Sorted I'm not going to tell him.

"Next!" shouted the woman at the till breaking Ray's train of thought who noticed that Matt had gone.

Matt had rejoined the others who had gone to get a table while Casey, Kyle, Phoebe and Tamara went to get their food considering Matt had been selfish and went got his own food.

The four teens came back over carrying between them four trays containing buckets of different types of chicken. As they felt getting the buckets would be cheaper so they could save their money to buy other stuff and they all wanted chicken anyway.

"So how's the tacos mate?"

"They are the best tacos I've ever had! However, they aren't as good as mine considering they don't seem to contain my secret ingredient."

"Matt, your secret ingredient is coriander. Which I do agree make them nicer but it isn't really a secret."

"Well now it isn't Sash, considering you just told everyone what it is!"

"Oh calm down Matthew they already knew considering you decided to get drunk at a party once and told them yourself."

"What I don't remember that!"

"You seriously don't remember how we had to carry you home all the way from the beach and Leah was up waiting for you to get and when she saw the state of you, she grounded you for two weeks."

"No, I don't remember you carrying me all the way home Aden. Although I do remember Leah saying I was grounded for two weeks when I was sitting with me head down the toilet, throwing up!"

That had all the teens in laughing while Matt's turned as red as a tomato. Once they had all finished laughing at one Matt's embarrassing moments they went back to eating and chatting away not realising that the guy they had all seen bump into Matt, was watching them.

As soon as they had finished eating they all agreed to go and have a look in the shops. Everyone (Including Ray who had left the food court before the teens to go and get food to eat while he was camping) but Phoebe, Maddy and Tamara headed for the outdoor activity shop while the three girls headed for the joke shop to see what the could get to help with the pranks they were going to play on the guys. They had agreed to meet back at the cars in thirty minutes and no later.

At the joke shop, the girls were amazed by all the different joke stuff they had as the one in Yabbe Creek had hardly anything.

"Hello. May I help you?" The overexcited shop assistant asked them as soon they walked into the shop.

"Yes, you can. You see we are going camping and we would like some stuff to prank our friends." Phoebe replied.

"No problem we should be able to find something here. Firstly, I need to know where you camping so that we can find something that would probably be in the area."

"Well we are camping in the National Park beside Nelson's Noose."

"I used to love camping there when I was little it was the best place as you had the bushes to camp in and the beach was only a walk away. I know just the thing that would help."

With that the shop assistant led the girls over to where the rubber snakes were supplied. She told them that this was the best prank to play on someone because they always assume it real especially with them being in a snake's natural habitat. The girls agreed that they should buy one and they could ask the other girls for ideas when the boys weren't around.

Over at the outdoors activity shop, the other eleven teens were deciding what else to get, as they already had water guns in the trolley along with a boomerang, a beach ball (as Xavier already had a football in the car).

"Why don't we get a net and we can play volleyball as there's fourteen of us so we'd have two even teams." Evelyn suggested to her friends.

"Yeah let's do that and if we want anything else we can go to the activity centre in the park itself." Kyle agreed with Evelyn knowing they needed to hurry and start heading back to the cars before the other three leave without them.

With that they headed to the till to pay for the items not noticing that the guy who bumped into Matt was now stood at the checkout beside them.

Ten Minutes later

"Look Casey and Kyle actually managed to get somewhere on time." Maddy laughed as she saw the others approaching the cars with bags of stuff to keep them entertained for the next five days.

"The only reason these two are here on time Maddy is because they weren't on their own they had us with them to make sure they got here when we said." Belle replied to her friend "Did you find any nice shops? We got a load of stuff to do and Kyle suggested we could go to the activity centre in the National Park if we wanted to do something else."

"There were some great shops. We should come back one day to have a girls shopping trip. We literally had to drag Maddy away from the shoe shop. Cool, that's a great idea Kyle we could hire some rock climbing stuff and canoes if we wanted to like last time." Tamara answered Belle while trying not to laugh.

Once everything was packed in the cars, the teens said goodbye to civilisation and headed for their destination, ready to enjoy making more memories.
