Camping trip

As the group sat in Adam's living room, Joan stretched and sipped on her juice. Everyone seemed relaxed around Sam and this made Joan feel even better. As everyone was getting comfortable, Luke started on an idea. "How about we all go on a camping trip?"

Iris smirked, "You of all people want to go on one?"

Joan looked at her bother and signed, Why not? It would be fun and I bet Sam has never camped around here before.

Everyone agreed to meet back at Adam's the next morning bright and early.

Joan stayed a little longer than the rest and talked to Adam. He was happy and content just to have her around.

" I think this camp trip is perfect. I can't wait to see Luke start a fire." Adam said.

Joan giggled and started to get up and leave. "Hey Jane, You excited?"

Joan nodded and left Adam's house. The evening was coming slowly and she walked the 5 blocks to her house. Sam's house looked lonely and empty as she passed it and went to her's. That night she packed for the 3-day camping trip.

Mrs. Guradi looked in on her daughter, "You seem really excited!" she said

Joan grinned and signed; you have no idea mom, I am finally happy. I got great friends and a great boyfriend. I love this whole camping thing. Everyone has accepted me now for whom I have become.

Mrs. Guradi smiled, "You need any help?" Joan laughed; I would worry more about Luke. He's so freaking now. I love him from the idea though. Mrs. Guradi closed the door and headed to her son's room.

The next morning, Joan rolled off her bed and landed hard on her side. She mumbled under her breath and grabbed some jeans and a t-shirt. After cleaning up she grabbed her stuff and ran down stairs.

Mr. Guradi sat at the table and said, "Your up early Joan." Joan nodded and grabbed some breakfast. A car honked and Luke ran with Joan, they both reached the car and grace grinned.

"I only got room for one." She said. Joan backed off as her brother hopped in. "Thanks Joan. I think you can get a ride with Sam maybe."

Joan threw up her hands and looked over at Sam's house. He was bent over the truck's trunk shoving a sleeping bag in. Joan ran over and poked him.

"Hey Joan! Need a ride?" he said without looking.

Joan grinned and signed, you save me again. What would I do with out you? She hugged him and hopped into the car.

All the cars met at Adam's. Adam put the last box into his dad's car and shut the door. Iris, Grace, Sam, Joan, Luke stood grinning.

"You ready to leave Adam or what?" Luke asked.

Grace and Iris nagged Luke, "Tell them!"

Joan signed, tell us what? Samtranslated for her and helps Adam with another bag.

"Well I decided the driving partners for the trip." Luke said. Joan looked at her brother and groaned.

Adam laughed and said, "Well what are they?"

"Well Grace is with me. Iris wanted to be with you and Joan with Sam that leaves." He said, "but we all switch half way so that Joan can be with Adam and Iris can be with Sam."

Joan nodded and looked at Adam. She signed, Can't wait till half way! I'll miss you till then.

Adam smiled and reached Iris. "So you're driving with me!" She grinned and hopped into his car. Sam grabbed some food from Adam's car and met Joan at his truck. Joan looked up at the sky and signed, I think it's going to rain on the first part of our drive. Look at those horrible clouds building. I could swear they were waiting just for us.

Sam didn't bother to look up but said, "Your probably right Joan! Come on get in that car!"

As all three cars pulled out of the driveway, the rain began to pour. Joan read a book and Sam drove. He put some guitar music on and began talking. Joan laid back and listen to him jabber on and feel asleep on him.

He smiled and said, "There's my Joan. That a girl. Sweet dreams." He placed his famous jacket (from the show) on her.

Adam and Iris fallowed the truck and Adam was grim. Iris talked about the next science project she was planning and so forth. Adam just felt annoyed he had wanted Joan with him but he hadn't talked loud enough. "Iris why don't you just relax for a while and listen to the music!" The girl nodded and looked at him with curious eyes.

Grace drove and Luke sat staring out the window. "Why did this stupid rain have to come!" mumbled Grace. "I like it!" Luke said. "My sister once said that rain curses the world and washed all the evil away!" Grace looked at Luke for a second, "Funny! Never thought it like that before!" she said.

All three cars drove on in the rain.

I know this isn't to long. I promise longer later.
