This is it! Chapter two! Things really get interesting here!I condemn you to read it!


They are waiting at the airport to go on the trip. They're going to go camping on a small island off the coast.

"I still don't get it," Sousuke says, confused, "Why would a person want to stay outside, when better shelter is available elsewhere?"

"Like I said," Kaname answers him, "People find it fun to go camping. They can explore nature, and see things they can't find in the city."

So romantic...she thinks to herself with a little shine in her eyes.

"Hmm," Sousuke pauses for a second, "What kind of things do they see?"

"All sorts of things!" she says, getting excited, "Animals, plants, the sky, oh, the sky! At night, when it's clear, you can see the stars, and the moon is so bright!"

Kaname stares into space, deep in her own imagination. Sousuke thinks of what he knows about camping. People can easily hide in the woods. A group as large as the class would be open to attack. Not good.

Later, after arriving at the campground, everybody starts setting up. Sousuke and Shinji are putting up their tent. Well, Shinji mostly. Sousuke holds up two poles, trying to fit them together.

"No, not like that," Shinji tells him, "The ones labeled 'one' fit into the ones labeled 'two,' one on each end."

Sousuke looks through a pile of poles, and Shinji goes to get a hammer to drive in the stakes. When he comes back, he finds that the tent is up, and Sousuke is nowhere in sight. He looks around for a second, then Sousuke pokes his head out of the tent.

"Mission accomplished," he says proudly, "I have successfully erected the artificial living space."

"Um, Sousuke..." Shinji starts to warn him, but too late. The wind catches the tent, and it collapses, right on Sousuke!

"Reviewing the current circumstances," he says from inside the lump of nylon on the ground, "the mission has ended in failure."

Shinji shakes his head and sighs. At that moment, Kaname and Kyoko come over. The girls laugh as they watch Sousuke try to get out of the tent, which is now a tangled mess!

"Poor Sousuke," Kyoko manages to say, being out of breath from laughing so much.

Kaname puts a hand on Sousuke's shoulder, "Here, let me help you."

He stops struggling so much, and Kaname, Kyoko, and Shinji untangle the tent. Sousuke lets out a muffled cry.

"What's up?" Kaname asks him.

"A pole poked me in the..." he pauses, "let's just say a pole poked me, and leave it at that."

"Okay..." Kaname says slowly. Kyoko and Shinji just look at each other and laugh a little.

It takes a few minutes to get Sousuke out of all the nylon. As he gets out, a pole drives hard into Shinji's foot. He jumps in pain and trips, right into Kyoko! They both fall to the ground. Shinji is quick to get up, realizing his hand was between Kyoko's legs, and she was wearing a short skirt!

"Sorry!" Shinji says, blushing, "Sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay," Kyoko forgives him, getting up, "It's not like you meant to do that. Or did you?"

She glares at him as she says that last part. Shinji holds his hands up, waving them.

"N-no!" he shouts defensively.

During all the excitement, Sousuke searches his bag. He finds and pulls out a broken transciever.

"Damn," he growls, "This is going to come out of my paycheck..."

"I didn't know you had a job," Kyoko says, looking at Sousuke, "Where do you work?"

"Um," he stumbles, "I, uh...work for my cousin..."

"What would you use a radio for?" Shinji asks, staring at the broken device.

"My cousin..." Sousuke is unsure of what to say, "He runs events and I, uh, work security for them."

"That explains that," Kaname says, "But why is it broken?"

"I'm not quite sure," he answers, puzzled.

"The ride here was a little bumpy," Kyoko wonders about the possibilities.

Shinji explains it, "Possibly something heavy fell on it. That would be enough to break it."

Sousuke sighs and goes back to rummaging through his bag. He finds the manual to the tent.

"I have this..." he shows the paper.

Kaname gets a little ticked. "You mean to tell me that you had the instruction manual this whole time! Why didn't you use that in the first place?"

"I didn't think of it."

"Argh!" Kaname screams and grabs her head.

The group works together and gets the tent up. Kaname takes advantage of the opportunity to boss Sousuke around.
