The kids were all going camping. Settling in the bus. Serenity sat with Anthony, holding his hand. The twins sat together, but Faith's eyes kept glancing toward Breanne. Breanne would look back as well, Sabrina was going on and on about something.

Rao was looking out the window while Paisley leaned against him and slept.

It took a lot of convincing to let him come without Isaia, but they let him.


Getting to the campsite, the teacher explained to everyone how this would go and where the trails were.

Two to a tent.

"Great, Anthony and Serenity get to bunk together. Rao and Paisley. You know both are going to be doing the dirty.", Hazel sighed.

"I mean, you can do the dirty alone, just make sure you put a sign outside the tent so I know not to come in", Faith said.

Hazel laughed.

"We told you to invite Javier", Faith said.

"I did, but I think his number was fake. Didn't text me back", Hazel said sadly.

Faith rubbed her back. Since getting back from their shopping trip, all Hazel had done was talk about Javier and how cute he was.

Faith didn't mind listening, she was happy for her sister. Their friends were happy Hazel had found someone to potentially be King one day. They just hoped he could handle it.

It took Hazel a few days before she actually got the courage to text him and ask if he wanted to come camping, but she never got a reply.

Faith took her sisters hand and pulled her to a good area to build a tent. Most people would assume the twins and Anthony knew nothing about it, or how to put a tent up, but they did.

Their parents always made sure that even if they were royal children, they still had a normal life.

Camping, beach days, helping clean around the castle.

Rao and Paisley had set up around them too, but not too close. Serenity and Anthony did the same.

Sabrina was busy flirting with one of the guys in their class. Breanne was building their tent alone, or trying too.

Their moms never took them camping, so Breanne didn't know what to do exactly. They had instructions, but it still didn't help.

Rao looked over.

"You should help her", Paisley said.

He nodded and jogged over. Anthony had the same idea because he followed.

"Need some help?", Anthony asked.

Breanne blushed and nodded.

"I've never done this before.", she replied.

"We can tell, and those instructions don't help.", Rao smiled.

"Can you guys show me?", she asked.

Both nodded and explained how everything went. She tried her best to help. Once the tent was up, she smiled.

"It gets easier the more times you put one up and then down.", Rao said.

She nodded. Sabrina ran over to her and she froze.

"Oh, you got it up", she said surprised.

Breanne nodded.

"Rao and Anthony helped.", Breanne replied.

Sabrina shrugged.

"Anyway, Carly asked if we wanted to bunk with her and Layla. Their tent is huge, as a Queen should have.", Sabrina said.

"But ours is up", Breanne said.

"Bre", Sabrina whined.

"Fine, go ahead, but I'm staying here", Breanne said.

"Fine, be uncomfortable", Sabrina said, grabbing her bags and walking away.

"She's not staying with you?", Hazel asked.

"No", Breanne replied.

"If you want, you can stay with us. I mean, we might be cramped, but its better than being alone", Faith said.

"Its okay, I'm use to being alone", Breanne replied.

The twins nodded.

"Just know the invitation is still on the table", Hazel said.

Breanne nodded.


Anthony and Serenity had escaped to the lake for some alone time. The water was nice and fresh.

He wrapped his arms around her and hers went around his neck. They kissed.

"I am so glad Genesis didn't come. She would have ruined this trip", Anthony said.

Serenity nodded.

"But lets not talk about her anymore.", Serenity said.

"Agreed babe", he said.


Paisley was resting in her tent. She forgot how long these trips were. Feeling a hand smooth up her legs and then hearing the zipper to the tent, she smiled.

"Why must you tempt me", Rao whispered.

She giggled.

"I was just laying here.", she replied.

"Sure you were", he said.

She turned over and he covered her body with his. He kissed her neck, and she bit her lip.

His hands went underneath her clothes. Hers went to the edge of his pants. She started to unbutton and unzip.

Before they knew it, they were completely naked. He moaned before pulling away.

"What are you doing?", she asked.

"Stopping before things get more intense", he sighed.

She sat up and pulled him back down to her.

"I don't want to stop", she whispered, kissing him.

"Pais, I want too, but…", she stopped him by placing a finger against his lips.

"I know what I want Rao", she replied.

He swallowed, but nodded.


As Anthony and Serenity were making their way back to the campsite. They spotted Javier getting off of his car. He smiled and waved.

"Hey, you made it. Hazel told me she invited you, but that you didn't reply", Serenity said.

She was a bit upset at him for not responding to her cousin. Hazel had taken a big step and was basically shot down.

"Yeah, I just didn't want to say yes and then last minute not be able too.", he replied.

"You could have just explained that to her. She would have understood", Serenity said.

He smirked. He knew she was only looking out for her cousin.

"I know, I regret not doing it", he replied.

She looked at Anthony, who watched her with a raised brow. He smirked. She looked back at Javier.

"Fine, you can stay", she said, turning on her heels.

"Come on", Anthony said to Javier.

"They get super protective of each other, don't they", Javier said.

Anthony nodded.

"We've all grown up together. We are all protective of each other. Don't hurt Hazel", Anthony said.

"I don't plan too. Its just, it freaked me out a bit. She's going to be Queen and that's a big responsibility.", Javier whispered.

Anthony nodded.

"I understand your hesitation. Trust me", he replied.

When they reached Faith and Hazel's tent.

"Haz, you've got company", Serenity said.

The flap to the tent opened and Hazel came out. She smiled at Serenity before looking towards Anthony and Javier.

He smiled.

"I made it", Javier said happily.

She smiled bigger and approached him.

"I didn't think you would make it", she said, as Anthony pulled Serenity away.

"I almost didn't. My dad convinced me that he can handle the shop for a few days", he replied.

"Why didn't you text me back and say that?", she asked.

"I should have. I'm sorry I didn't respond.", he replied.

"Why didn't you?", she asked.

He sighed.

"You're going to be Queen, that's a bit intimidating to someone like me.", he replied.

She nodded.

"So you wouldn't want to ever…", she stopped.

He swallowed.

"That's a lot to ask of me right now. Lets just get to know each other, ask me in the future", he said.

She smiled and nodded. It was true, she hardly knew him.

"Are you going to answer my texts from now on?", she asked.

He smiled and nodded.

"I will", he replied.

Faith came out of the tent and stopped.

"Oh, sorry. Hi Javier, glad you could join us", Faith said.

"I'm glad I came too", he replied, before his eyes found Hazel, who blushed.

Faith nodded and sighed. She went back in and grabbed her bags.

"So then I will be staying with Breanne. You can have my spot", Faith said to him as she walked back out.

"Oh, I don't want to put you out.", he said.

"You aren't", she said.

She went to walk past her sister and winked.

"Have fun", she whispered.

Hazel laughed softly. Javier gestured for her to walk in. She did and he followed. He set his bag down and sat.

"So, lets get to know each other", he smiled.


Faith took a deep breath before calling for Breanne. She walked out and smiled.

"What's with the bags?", she asked.

"So, it turns out my sister's hopefully future King decided to show up, and I need somewhere to stay", Faith said.

Breanne smirked and blushed.

"Of course", Breanne said, letting her in.

Faith set her bags down and sat down. Breanne zipped up her tent again.

"This is when I'm glad Sabrina left me alone", Breanne said, making Faith blush more.

She leaned over and kissed her. Faith hesitated before kissing her back.

"We won't get many chances like this, Faith", she whispered.
