Raven sat in the rafters of their cabin drawing. They have been at camp for a week and the only trouble they have had since Deaborohmon showed is the fact the Raven caught Luna cheating in a regular card game against Henry. The girl was really steamed.
She put the finishing touches on her lates masterpiece, a sketch of her and Henry sitting by the campfire. She looked at her watch, four A.M.
They had figured out a way to deal with the early wake up hour, Raven. At four she would wake Takato, Henry, and Ryo up. At four fifteen it was Kazu and Kenta's turn. Four thirty was the girl's wake up time.
She jumped down from her perch and walked over to Ryo and Henry and gently woke them up.
"Hey sleepy, wake up. We're going on that two day camp out on the ridge today."Raven whispered in Henry's ear.
Henry woke up quickly, both of them had been looking forward to this campout. Raven then quickly woke Ryo and Takato. She was already dressed, all that had to be done was her hair, which Henry had taken the job of doing for her while she was drawing.
The same routine was followed at every wake up time. In between wake up calls Henry helped Raven put her hair into a tight high ponytail put into atleast fifty small braids.

After breakfast they headed out to the stables again. They quickly got their horses ready, but this time the horses had tents and sleeping bags on their backs aswell.
Evryone mouunted their horses and with Raven and Henry in the lead headed up the trail. The digimon followed but didn't come out till they were well out of sight. This campout was training for the one week survivl test at the end of the month.
Raven and Henry rode about three yerds ahead of the group so they could talk in private.
"What should we do when we get there. We're completely on our own?"Raven said looking over to her friend, Terriermon was pereched on his shoulder, while Cyberlunamon was walking between the two horses.
"Swim. There's a lake nearby."Henry said looking back to check on the group,"Rika and Ryo are actually starting to get along."
"I know, last night they were up talking long after evryone else was asleep."Raven said glad her friend was happy.
"Think they'll end up as a couple?"
"I hope, Ryo's last girlfriend didn't work out so well. She was such a cry baby. When they broke up it was even worse."
"Yikes, those two would go really well together if they could just get over eachother's bad points."
"They will in time. They belong together."
"I know, but I worry."
"We're here."
"It's about time, we've been riding for four hours."
They stopped. They were on the ledge they had come to their first day at camp.
Raven jumped off her horse and tied her up, the others did the same. They had two tents to set up, one was designed for four people, the other was designed for six. Ryo, Raven, Henry, and Rika were staying in one the others were staying in the other one.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After an hour they were done setting up camp. Evryone sat around a fire pit they had built.
"So, what are we gonna do now?"Takato said looking around.
"There's a lake nearby, we saw it on our last hike."Raven said looking out over the ledge.
"How far do you think it is?"Jeri asked ready to go swimming.
"About fifteen min. on horseback."Henry said.
"Then let's go. Our swimming activities don't start till next month."Raven laughed.
"Ok, let's go get changed."Jeri laughed jumping up and grabbing Rika by the arm.
"I'm already wearing my swimsuit under this."Raven laughed.
After evryone got changed they got on their horses, Raven was now wearing the swimsuit and skirt she had gotten at the mall with Rika. She rode her horse side saddle for a change of pace and so the saddle didn't destroy her legs. As usual Raven and Henry were in the lead, this time closely followed by Ryo and Rika.
Rika had all out refued to wear the swimsuit for the longest time. Now she was doing the same thing as Raven. THey talked for awhile skipping from one subject to the other, from digimon, to the dance, to something else.
They finally arrived at the lake. It was clear and calm. Raven handed Cyberlunamon a rope and she dived into the water. The digimon resurfaced a minute later. Raven measured th wet part of the rope.
"The water's about tweny feet deep."Raven said climbing onto a rock over the water.
She dove into the water splashing most of the group.
"Hey!"Rika snapped taking off her skirt and diving in after Raven.
The others quickly followed. They spent two hours splashing, diving, playing, and pulling eachother underwater. Rika even got involved pulling evryone under atleast once. Ryo, Raven, and Henry were pulled under atlest ten times by Rika alone.
After swimming evryone got out of the water, suprisingly there was a good sized pile of fish on the shore.
"What the hell?"Kazu said, shocked.
"Henry and I were catching fish while we were playing."Raven laughed.
"Let's get back to the fire so we can cook these, plus the sun will be going down soon."Henry said using Terriermon's ear to dry his face.
"Hey!"Terriermon said yanking back his ear.
Raven giggled and put a towel over Henry's shoulders. She had already wrapped a black towel around her body. She jumped back on her horse and put a few fish in her saddle bag.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
About an hour later everyone is sitting around a huge fire eating fish. The sun had set awhile ago. Like every night, it's cold. Takato and Jeri are huddled together under a warm blanket. Kazu and Luna are sitting as close to the fire as they can without getting burned. Kenta and Lynx are wrapped in a heavey blanket. Rika is leaning up against Ryo for warmth, Raven is curled up in Henry's jacket, and Henry has his arm wrapped around Raven keeping her warm.
"What's on the agenda for tommorrow?"Kazu asked.
"Dunno. We'll just see what happens."Raven said looking up at the stars.
"We could ride into the neares town and get some pizza."Kenta said hopefully.
"The nearest town is a hundred miles away, Kenta."Henry laughed.
"Too bad there aren't any wild digimon around here."Ryo said.
"Why?"Luna asked, half asleep.
"So we could train the digimon."Rika said looking over the nearby ledge.
"Come on. We need to get some sleep. Mabey in the morning we could go down to the archery feild and practice."Rave said getting up.
"Sounds good."Henry said following her.
"Yeah, I guess we do need to get some sleep."Takato said picking up the now asleep Jeri.
Evryone got up and went to their tents. Who knew what was going to happen the next day.
She put the finishing touches on her lates masterpiece, a sketch of her and Henry sitting by the campfire. She looked at her watch, four A.M.
