"Trust me. I know what I'm doing," Jim said, trying to reassure Amelia as he dumped a ton of marshmallows into a plastic bowl. With a flourish, he picked up the bowl and placed it inside the microwave.

"Have it your way, James. You seem to be more knowledgeable about those puffed novelties," stated the Captain before returning to her novel, The Hunt For Red October.

Jim groaned inwardly. Who ever called marshmallows 'puffed novelties'? With a shake of his head, he started the microwave. He had calmed down ever since his shock about the TV. Jim was annoyed that he couldn't watch Pirates of the Caribbean. Maybe it was for the best anyways; Amelia would have made fun of it.

With a ding, the microwave announced that it had finished cooking his marshmallows.

"Alright! I swear, this will be so great," promised the teenager, eagerly digging out a plastic spoon from its container. Amelia just rolled her eyes and returned to her book. Jim opened up the microwave and gaped.

"What the---where's the stupid bowl?" he yelped, seeing nothing but a frothy white mass. The goo made faint sucking noises and oozed out of the microwave. With a plop, it proceeded to slide onto the counter and land on the wooden floor.

"Are you planning on eating that off of the floor?" asked the captain, raising a skeptical eyebrow.

"No, ma'am. Wait---it would be a waste to just clean this up…" muttered Jim, kneeling down. The irritable smell of melted marshmallows weakened the teen. Making sure that Amelia was deep into her book, he began to eat the snack from the floor.

Sarah and Delbert walked along a thin trail in the woods.

"Well, I hope that Jim and Amelia are having this much fun!" declared Sarah, picking a delicate pink wildflower.

"Yes; I'm…uh…sure they are," mused the doctor. He paused and eyed the river. It had a pretty good current; he could see fellow campers rush by in canoes. At once he wanted to try it.

"Say…do you think we could do that?" asked Sarah, wanting to try something new, yet lacking confidence.

"I believe that we could do that…I did some kayaking once," said Delbert eagerly. The two rushed off towards the rental station.

"Jeez, where are they?" asked Jim grumpily, wiping the remains of the melted goo from his mouth. Amelia swiftly walked ahead of him. The scenery was beautiful; moss-covered rocks and the graceful forest seemed so peaceful. This went by unnoticed by Jim, who was regretting that he had eaten food from the floor like a dog.

The two walked along the river bank. The brown water lapped at the pebbly shoreline.

"Hey, is that them?" asked Jim, pointing.

"Wheeeeee! We're going so fast!" screamed Sarah with delight. Delbert looked slightly pale as they rushed down the river. Amelia smiled briefly, then turned to Jim.

"Feel up to a bit of canoeing?"

***I know this chapter is a bit short, but I stayed up all night with my little cousins and REALLY tired. lol. I amused them by putting in Pirates of the Caribbean and making some scenes run in super slow motion. They had a blast. Anyways, I hope you guys liked this chapter.
