"Well I'm going back to the cabin." Connie said heading back.
"Yeah me too." Guy said following her.
"Well me and Portman are going to keep on walking. We'll be back in time to cook lunch." Julie said as she grabbed Portman's hand.
"Ok see you then." Luis yelled walking away.
They walked for a little while just holding hands and not talking when Portman broke the silence.
"That was pretty funny. Ya know the rabbit thing." Portman said.
"Not as funny as you sleeping with a teddy bear." Julie said and smiled up at him.
"I cannot believe you told the whole team that!" He said blushing.
"Well you deserved it." Julie said.
"Oh yeah. How did I deserve it?" Portman asked stopping.
"You didn't help me when Luis dared me to go skinny dipping." Julie said. "Remember?"
"Yeah who could forget?" Portman said with a grin on his face.
"Well next time we play truth or dare I'm going to say truth." Julie said.
"And I'm gunna say dare. What would you have made me do if I had said dare the first time?" Portman asked curiously.
"Well since you don't have a problem with stripping seeing as you stripped in front of the whole school freshman year." Julie started but was cut off.
"Hey I remember you liking that strip show." Portman said.
"Yeah I did but I probably would have made you..I don't know. That's why I'm glad you said truth." Julie said and they both laughed. "But don't worry I would have thought of something."
"Yeah whatever." Portman said snickering.
They walked to the end of the trail and were about to turn around when Julie fell in a hole and twisted her ankle.
"OW!" Julie practically screamed.
"Are you ok?" Portman asked running to her side and kneeling down beside her.
"Does it look like I'm ok?" Julie said.
"Calm down Jules. Tell me if this hurts." Portman said and touched her ankle lightly.
"OW!" She said again. "Ok I better shut up before some animal comes and decides that I look like a good lunch." Julie said trying to lighten the moment.
"Don't worry I won't let anything happen to you." Portman said brushing Julie's hair out of her face, gently stroking her cheek, and then kissing her softly on the lips.
"I know you won't." Julie said as Portman picked her up and started to carry her back to the cabin.
They walked for awhile and then Julie spoke up.
"This is just great. If my ankle is hurt real badly we are going to have to go home." Julie said looking down at her ankle. "You can take a break if you want. You look tired."
"That's now such a bad idea." Portman said gently putting her down. "Let me take another look at that ankle." Julie pulled up her pants leg again for him to see. "The swelling has gone down a lot. I think it's not that bad."
"I'm going to try to walk on it." Julie said getting up.
"Let me help you." Portman said grabbing her arm to help her off of the ground.
"Wow it hardly even hurts even more." Julie said limping slightly.
"Do you want me to carry you back to the cabin or do you think you can make it on your own?" Portman asked watching her limp to see how bad it was.
"I think I can handle it." Julie said but still held on to Portman's arm for support.
By the time they got back to the cabin Julie was walking almost perfect again.
"Hey Julie I thawed out your frozen undies!" Fulton said running up to them and holding the underwear high up in the air. "What happened?"
"Oh I just fell but it's no big deal. I'm fine now." Julie said. "I think I just need to go upstairs and rest for a little bit."
"You go ahead. I'm gunna come and check on you in a minute though." Portman said as Julie headed for the cabin.
"Dude you really do like her don't you?" Fulton said when Julie had closed the door.
"Yeah. I have never felt the way I feel any other girl before. She is just so...perfect." Portman said showing his softer side.
"Yeah well don't let that wimp side out when we are playing hockey." Fulton said jokingly.
"Oh don't worry I won't. In fact I think I just may punch you in the face right now." Portman said pretending to be mad.
"I dare you." Fulton said pretending to be equally angry.
"Please no more dares!" Portman said. "I'm going to go see what Jules is doing."
Portman walked away and Charlie walked up.
"If they don't get married I'm going to be surprised." Fulton said to Charlie.
"Yeah they have got it bad." Charlie said.
"You remember when they first knew each other he thought she was just a "hot babe" and she couldn't stand him." Fulton said remembering the Jr. Goodwill Games and all the good times they had.
"Yeah I would have NEVER guessed that they would be going out when we did the Jr. Goodwill Games." Charlie said. "I always thought her and Adam would go out."
"Adam!?! I never did. He's too goody goody for her." Fulton said and they both laughed and walked to see the rest of the team.
*Connie and Guy near the river*
"This is a great place." Guy said as him and Connie walked hand in hand down the river bank.
"Yeah it is. It's a very romantic place too don't ya think?" Connie said looking at the calm, smooth water.
"Yeah." he said and pulled her closer to him.
"You know this camping stuff makes you look..I don't know how you say.." Connie started.
"Hum let me guess..amazingly stupid?" Guy said with an annoyed look on his face.
"No I was thinking more along the lines of ruggedly handsome." Connie said and smiled at Guy as he pulled her in for a long, passionate kiss.
*Bedroom*
"So how is that ankle feeling?" Portman said walking in the room and closing the door behind him.
"A lot better especially since I've put my weight off of it." Julie said as Portman sat on the edge of the bed.
"Wow this bed is really comfortable." Portman said and bounced slightly on the soft bed.
"Yeah it is the most comfortable bed in the whole place. It's the one I always sleep on." Julie said smiling.
"You sneaky little dog." Portman said and Julie looked up at him shocked.
"What did I do?" She asked.
"You pick the most comfortable bed for yourself." Portman said. "And I get that uncomfortable little couch over there. You know my feet hang off of that thing."
"Well you could sleep in this bed with me if you want to. That is if you don't try anything." Julie said as she smirked.
"Don't you know me better than that?" Portman asked. "You know I wouldn't do anything like that."
"Yeah I know." Julie said and pulled him in for a kiss.
"So are you going to sleep with me tonight?" Julie asked with an amused look on her face.
"You know it babe." He said. "So do you want to go downstairs and cook? Goldberg gets pretty mad when he is hungry."
"Yeah he does." Julie said as they laughed and got up to go downstairs.
*Downstairs*
"Wow they finally come to see us." Luis said. "What are you waiting for? Cook something! I'm starving!"
"One: I am not your maid. Two: Hold your horses. Three: We haven't even been up there that long so don't act like we have been up there all day. And four: What do ya'll want to eat?" Julie said and smiled at Luis.
"Whatever doesn't take long to cook because I am about to starve." Goldberg said holding his stomach as it growled.
"How does potato soup with cornbread sound to you guys?" Julie asked looking to see what all they had to eat and the whole team said great at the same time.
"Where are Connie and Guy?" Adam asked noticing that they were missing.
"I don't know." Ken said. "Why don't you go look for them?"
"That won't be necessary." Charlie said looking down toward the river.
"Why not?" Dwayne asked.
"Because they are right there making out." Charlie said pointing to them.
"Hey do you two wanna stop trading spit and come eat?" Julie yelled but they didn't hear her.
"I'm going to go push them in the lake." Averman said.
"Well then go do it but it is a river not a lake." Julie said starting to cook.
Averman went down to the river acting like he was a spy. He hid behind trees and acted like he was holding a gun. He then sneaked behind Connie and Guy and pushed them in the river.
"OH MY GOD! I am going to rip your arm off and beat you with it!" Connie said getting out of the water.
"I would run if I were you." Guy said getting out as well.
"That's exactly what I am planning on doing." Averman said starting to run back toward the cabin.
Connie chased Averman all the way back to the cabin where Averman ran and hid behind Portman.
"Dude what is your problem?" Portman said trying to get Averman off of him.
"She is going to kill me!" Averman said looking at Connie who was coming toward him.
"Chill out Connie." Fulton said grabbing her arm to hold her back. "You look good wet anyways."
"Whatever. Let's just eat. I'm starving." Connie said as she sat down at the table.
"Well we would if the food was ready." Goldberg said hovering over Julie.
"Will you back off it will be ready in about 5 minutes!" Julie said backing him away with her arm.
Five minutes later Julie put the food on the table and the ducks went after it like they were a pack of wild dogs.
"HOT! HOT! HOT!" Averman yelled taking his first bite.
"Nah duh loser it just came off the stove." Russ said blowing his food.
Author's Note: I am so bad with endings! Well tell me what you thought. What should the next chapter be about? They woods is still a few chapters away.
"Yeah me too." Guy said following her.
"Well me and Portman are going to keep on walking. We'll be back in time to cook lunch." Julie said as she grabbed Portman's hand.
"Ok see you then." Luis yelled walking away.
