Chapter 2: Campground Troubles

Ratchet and Clank use their spaceship to get to the other side of Veldin. They could easily get there in one second due to its light-speed capabilities, but they decide to take a little time getting there so they can discuss things.

Clank: Did you tell your dear Sasha that you're going camping?

Ratchet: (blushes) No, but we haven't been doing anything lately, so I don't think she'll mind.

Clank: If you want to continue your relationship with her, you'll have to imclude her in your activities.

Ratchet: (sarcastically) Like she is now? Right, Clank, right.

Clank sighs, but doesn't say anything, because he knows it is pointless to argue with Ratchet.

Ratchet: Why do you care about my relationship with Sasha anyway?

Clank: Uh, I'm just thinking of others, just trying to hep out your life of love.

Ratchet: You've got the hots with her, don't you?

Clank: No! How could I fall in love with an organic life-form?

Ratchet: So now you're making fun of her?

Clank: No, I-

Ratchet: Let's just stop talking about this now, I came to relax, not argue.

Ratchet and Clank land their spaceship down in a field, and turn on the security on it. They gather their stuff, but Ratchet bumps a bag and one of the gadgets he snuck along beeps.

Clank: What was that?

Ratchet: I, uh, think your batteries are dieing.

Clank: Proposterous! You changed them a week ago.

Ratchet shakes his head, and they jeep on walking to the registration booth.

Ratchet: Hi, we're here to go camping.

Registration Guy: Wow! It's secret agent Clank! There's no need for you guys to pay, sir. I know Clank is here for a good cause.

Clank: Actually-

Ratchet elbows him, and he shuts up. They start to go to the campsite.

Registration Guy: Before you go, Clank, will you please sign my cap?

Ratchet sighs as Clank happily signs the hat. They finally get past the guy.

Ratchet: I thought we both saved the galaxy?

Clank: People appreciate good TV shows more than that.

Ratchet sighs yet again as they make their way to the campsite. It is in a good location, for it is in a cleared out area surrounded by trees.

Ratchet: We might as well set up the tent. So how do we do it?

Clank: What? I thought you knew? After all, you went to that awesome "website."

Ratchet: I thought you knew!

Clank: I only know what I am programmed to know.

They both sigh.

Ratchet: I'll go ask the Registration Guy.

Ratchet walks over to the booth again.

Registration Guy: Can I help you?

Ratchet: Um, could you tell us me how to set up tent?

Registration Guy: Why don't you ask Agent Clank? He knows everything.

Ratchet: Um, Agent Clank wasn't programmed with that information.

Registration Guy: Oh, I see.

The Registration Guy gives Ratchet instructions on how to set up a tent. Ratchet thanks him, and he heads back to the campsite.

Clank: Did he tell you?

Ratchet: Yeah, but he thought you would know how to. I told him you weren't programmed with the information.

Clank: I see.

Ratchet tries to set up tent, but it gives him a lot of trouble, abd it takes him two hours to do it. Then it starts to rain.

Ratchet: I guess it can't get any worse thatn this.
