Electric Spyro- Gee, thanks! beams Thank you for the info on the spring thing and I'm sorry for being so ignorant, it's just that I'm so used to having 2 seasons. Oh, and I took your advice on writing fics before sleeping. I'm kind of an insomniac actually, and now, I can make use of my sleepless nights, haha.. Hope you review this chapter! By the way, I read your fic, Trepidation, and it's really cool, good job!

Later that night.
Lana, after a tiring shift at the Talon, walked up the steps of her home; well, Chloe's actually, but lately, that's what she considered it to be. She gazed longingly at the house, grateful to Chloe and her dad for inviting her to live with them after Nell left. She instantly became close to them and was considered family, which made Lana genuinely happy considering her history.
After a while, she entered the house and was greeted by Chloe's dad.
"Hi, Lana. How was your day?" Gabe asked.
"Oh, good evening, Mr. Sullivan," she greeted. "It was hectic. The Talon was jam-packed. I think every one talked to each another and just planned to go there." She joked.
Gabe laughed. "Okay, I'm gonna let you freshen up then. There's donuts in the kitchen if you're hungry." He said.
"Thanks! Good night." she said.
"Night."
Lana climbed the stairs two at a time, excited to tell Chloe about their camping plans. She got to her room, freshened up, got in her pjs and knocked on Chloe's door.
"Hey Lana," Chloe greeted as soon as she opened the door.
Chloe jumped to her bed as Lana closed the door then sat next to Chloe.
"oh yeah. a whole week off. I'm gonna make the most out of this!" Chloe said excitedly. "So what are you gonna do?" she asked.
"Well, actually, that's what I want to talk to you about. Remember this afternoon when we were with Pete and Clark and we were thinking of stuff we can do?"
"Uh, yeah?"
"We thought, Clark and I, we could go on this camping thing. I saw this flier on my windshield about this campsite. It could be fun, you know." Lana said.
"You and Clark?" Chloe asked, obviously jealous.
"Yes, me and Clark ONLY, that's why I'm telling you." Lana said seriously, a hint of sarcasm evident in her voice. After a few seconds, she smiled and rolled her eyes, "No, silly. You, me, Clark and Pete. What do you think?" she asked, unsure.
"Hmmm. That's unusual. I'm not a girl scout, but that sounds fun." Chloe replied.
Lana grinned and showed Chloe the flier.
"We're gonna meet up with Clark and Pete at the Talon tomorrow morning to plan our schedule and stuff," Lana said. "Okay, unlike you insomniac, I'm gonna go to sleep. 'Night Chloe." Lana said as she stood up.
"'Night Lana." She replied.
As soon as Lana was out of Chloe's room, Chloe looked at the flier again. She read it and was excited and curious at the same time. She switched on her computer, typed 'Rosewood Camp' and clicked the search button.
Her excitement doubled when she knew more about the camp. According to a write-up, meteor fragments could still be found there. She continued reading the write-up and something written at the bottom caught her attention. It read:
'There have been reported cases of people missing in this camp. There were bizarre things that happened that scientists predict may be due to the effects of the meteor shower that occurred over a decade ago. There have also been sightings of what was described as half-man, half-bat.'
Chloe, reporter and all, was intrigued by it. She wasn't satisfied by write-ups. She wanted to be there and to experience that rush even if it seemed risky. She wanted to know more about the bizarre things and the so- called 'half-man, half-bat.' Wouldn't it be great to add it to her written report on Mr. Henderson's class? She'd ace it for sure if she'd have a report that good.
'Uh-oh. One problem.' she thought. 'If I tell Clark, Pete and Lana, I'm betting they'd want to play safe and cancel the whole thing. What if.. I just don't tell them?'
After a while, she switched off her computer and fell into a rather blissful sleep.

The next morning.
It was early, the only sound to be heard were a few people talking in hushed tones and the dripping of the brewing coffee in the coffee machine. Chloe was seated on a chair in the counter sipping a latte and Lana was standing there seeing to it that every one had their orders. Pete walked in, yawned and smiled at the girls.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey," Lana and Chloe replied at the same time.
"So, where's Clark?" he asked.
As if on cue, Clark walked in and greeted them.
They sat on a table as Lana served them some coffee.
They were all so excited as they talked about their plans. They decided on the schedule, stuff, transportation and all those things people talk about when they go camping.
"So, Monday morning.." Clark said.
"This is gonna be so0o much fun!" Chloe said a little over enthusiastically, which rewarded her curious looks from her friends' faces. "What?" she asked.
"Nothing, you seem so excited and all considering you're not an outdoor person." Lana smiled.
"It can be fun, you know. I should learn to be able to bond with nature and see if there are weird.. Never mind." Chloe said almost informing them on her knowledge about the camp.
"Weird what?" Clark asked.
"Nothing." Chloe said way too immediately.
Clark looked at her and sensed that she had something more to say. After a while, he just ignored the feeling because he thought, 'Hey, this is Chloe. The one who always tells us everything she knows..' The girl must just be really excited about the trip.
"Just a sec, I can hear the espresso machine calling my name," Lana said with a smile as she stood up.
Clark smiled back at her, well, at her back actually since she turned her back on them and started walking to the counter where the machine was.
After a few minutes, Clark glanced at his watch, "Oh no, gotta go. I've got to do the chores meant for the whole week or else I'm not gonna be allowed to go." He said. He got up and walked to where Lana was.
"Bye, Lana. I'm gonna go ahead" He said.
"Oh, bye." Lana replied, looking up from the espresso machine.
"Gotta do my chores. By the way, who's gonna takeover here while you're gone?" Clark asked.
"Oh, no problem. I told Lex I'd be gone for the whole spring break and he said it was fine. He was able to find people to cover up." Lana said with a smile.
"At once? That's great!" Clark said.
"It is!" she answered. " For one whole week, I won't be here. I hope I don't miss it so much." She said as they laughed.
"Okay, I really have to go, Bye Lana." Clark said
"Bye. I'll see you!" Lana said with a smile.
