And I was likw Whao! He looks like he would actually fit in with their little group! I think it was the pruple and the stance though...haha yeah..random...


"AHHHHHHH!" Tidus yelled before anyone could as he ran to a far corner.

"Isn't it a little late for midnight strolls?" The voice said from behind the bush.

"Paine?" Tidus said flashing his flashlight at the tree, in which now stood Paine and Yuna. Paine had a smirk across her face as Yuna was examining her nails and looking a little startled.

"PAINE!" Baralai said as he went up to her and hugged her. Everyone started to stare at them looking shocked. Paine was blushing crimson and Baralai after realizing that he just hugged Paine backed off. "Er...Glad you're ok!"

"YUNIE!" Rikku said happily as she ran up to her cousin and hugged her. "Are you alright? I was so worried about you! We heard you scream and then went looking for you!"

"Oh...Yeah...Me and Paine where looking for firewood and then I broke a nail!" Yuna said dramatically hugging on to Tidus for support. "And I swore I saw a something furry and big and grizzly in the woods..."

There was a silence as everyone started at Yuna and Paine.

"Don't look at me like that." Paine said.

"You broke a nail?" Gippal said sounding bored.

"Yes! Isn't it horrible?" Yuna said showing off her broken manicured nail.

"A-And you saw something furry and big and grizzly?" Rikku added sounded a little scared now.

"Yeah."

"I told her it was just her imagination..." Paine added smiling at Rikku's reaction.

"Paine! It was really there!"

"I-I don't think I want to camp out anymore..." Rikku said backing away.

"It's ok Cid's girl, I seriously doubt there's anything in here, otherwise we'd know about it already." Gippal said putting a hand on Rikku's shoulder.

"Yep. There's no creatures here at Besaid island camp resort!" Tidus added as the group fell silent once again.

"Um...we're in Killika..." Baralai said in a matter of factly tone.

"Oh..."

"So...THERE COULD BE A BEAR!" Yuna exclaimed shaking Tidus by the shoulders "OR A WOLF! OR A WHO KNOWS WHAT OTEHR ANIMALS THERE ARE IN THE WOODS!"

"Yuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaa leeeeeeettttt meeeee goooooo owwwwwww" Tidus said while Yuna was shaking him.

"Oh! Sorry..."

"Guys, calm down! There's nothing here! I'm sure of it!" Baralai said as the group managed to calm down a little.

"Are you sure?" Rikku said nervously.

"Yes, and if there is then I uh..."

"Won't drive for the remainder of the trip and if there is anything then you'll have to go and investigate it first by yourself!" Gippal offered.

"Hey!"

"That or you'll have to go on a da--..."

"Ok ok fine!" Baralai said knowing what Gippal's second suggestions would be horrible.

"So, which way is back to camp?" Paine asked smartly looking at woody surroundings and everyone's clueless expressions. Great...I'm stuck with idiots...

So the woods where really dark after all and the trees blocked the path along with the random twists and turns. Not to mention the bridges and dead ends and the fact that it was super late at night. And an animal might just be around the corner...

"Uh..." Everyone replied stupidly looking away from Paine who shook her head hopelessly.

"You mean non of you guys even brought a map or remember anything as to where we are?" Paine asked raising an eyebrow as no one in the group replied.

"Well...we kind of just took random turns and all..." Tidus smiled.

"Um...well it can't be THAT hard getting back...Right?" Rikku said uneasily, she did not like to get stuck in these woods especially if there where some kind of wild animal along the way.

"Exactly! We should go straight then eventually we should see a part that should meet up and uh...we'll make our way from there!" Tidus said smiling at his plan.

"I know! We can call Buddy or Brother---no, never mind, he's incapable with stuff like this--even that boy genius Shinra!" Rikku suggested, "They could tell us where we are right now and how to get back to camp!"

"That's a good idea!" Yuna said happily. "With all of their technology, they can definitely help!"

Tidus then took out his cell phone and dialed the number. The reply was no other than no connection and to try again later.

"Hey...That's not cool!" Tidus said dialing more numbers as nothing else happened.

"Ok then...next idea..." Gippal said while still thinking.

Tidus was now jumping up and down from the excitement, "I know! I saw on TV once that if you climb up a tree you can get a better reception!"

Gippal sighed, "That plan could just work, so an volunteers to go and climb up a tree?"

"Yes! We can get those monkeys to do it for us!" Tidus said jumping up and down.

"Monkey's can't dial the phone numbers..." Baralai said walking around in circles now.

"Oh! I know! We can play Down By the Banks! Loser has to climb the tree!" Rikku suggested.

"Uh...how do you play?" Gippal, Paine, and Baralai asked.

"It's easy!" Yuna said. "First we just get into a big circle with one hand over the other from the person next to you..." Yuna then demonstrated this by putting one hand over Tidus and one hand under Rikku's.

"And then you just basically slap the person's hands when your hand gets slapped!" Tidus said.

Tidus knows how to play? Gippal and Baralai thought, This is just weird...

"Here's a demonstration!" Rikku said as she started to sing, "Down by the banks of the hanky panky where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky with a hip hop soda pop hey Mr. lily and you went ker plock!" Tidus then slapped Yuna's hand.

"Oh! I lost!" Yuna squealed.

"Mush Pot Yunie! And then when you have two people...well we'll get to that later." Rikku finished.

"Are you sure there's not other way?" Paine suggested. "I mean seriously..."

"Oh, just do it now! It'll be fun!" Rikku said as Gippal, Baralai and Paine reluctantly joined in.

So now we would have a circle of friends each having one hand on top of the others with Rikku, Yuna, and Tidus singing on top of their lungs while Baralai tried to join in, Gippal looking as if he didn't care, and Paine looking bored. Baralai was the first one out, then Yuna, followed by Paine, this only left Tidus, Rikku, and Gippal let in the game.

"...and a hip hop soda pop, hey Mr.. lily and he went ker plock!" Rikku sang as Tidus slapped her hand out.

"Aw man..." Rikku said joining everybody else who lost the game already. They where was gathered in a little group.


"I have five bucks that Gippal is going to win!" Baralai said.

"Agreed." Rikku said.

"No way! Gippal is so going to loose!" Yuna added. "Tidus is SO going to win!"

"Make it ten and I'm in. Gippal IS going to win," Paine said as everyone but Yuna nodded.

"It'll be thirty bucks from you three is Tidus wins, then." Yuna said crossing her fingures. "Thirty bucks richer and a shopping spree!"


Tidus and Gippal where now playing rock paper scissors, because both didn't really want to sing or anything. Besides rock paper scissors was so much of a shorter and easier game without singing involved.

"Ok then. First two out of three!" Gippal said.

"Ok! Rock, Paper scissors!" Tidus said making a hand motion of scissors while Gippal made a fist.

"Darn..." Tidus muttered. "Rock, paper, scissors!"

This time Gippal made the hand motion of paper while Tidus made the hand motion of scissors.

"HA! Rock, Paper, scissors!" Tidus and Gippal said both making fists that symbolized Rock. The two then started to play again and again.


"This is going to take a while..." Paine said rolling her eyes and holding the video camera to tape the game.

"SHH!" Everyone yelled back.

"This is intense!" Baralai commented as the two boys tied again.


Who could've guessed that Tidus and Gippal where pro Rock Paper Scissors camps? Ok, well not really, they just got lucky and had loads of ties. Finally what seemed around thirty times of the game, rock paper or scissors, Gippal won! That meant that Tidus had to go and climb the tree!

"That'd be thirty bucks total bucks." Rikku, Paine and Baralai said as Yuna groaned and reluctantly handed over each other them five bucks.

"Yes!" Baralai, Paine and Rikku exclaimed high five-ing each other.

"You guys made bets?" Tidus said mouth hanging open. "How could you? You did bet that I'd win right?"

"Uh..." Baralai said not making eye contact with Tidus.

" Just practicing for future uh...experiences..." Paine finished lamely.

"I thought you'd win actually," Yuna said, a scowl still across her face. There goes a shopping trip...

"Thank you, Yuna!" Tidus said dramatically hugging her as Yuna giggled. "Next, time I won't let you down!"

Baralai, Paine, Rikku, and Gippal started to snicker, despite the winning situation, this was actually kind of funny. Rikku and Paine both knew this because they knew that Yuna had always liked Tidus. They could sense a couple starting to form...

"So, Do I get a kiss for winning?" Gippal said cockily standing next to Rikku who blushed.

"Heck no!" Rikku mumbled pushing Gippal away from her playfully.

"Aw...c'mon, you know you want too."

"Gippal!" Rikku said smacking him hard on the head instead as evreyone started laughing and rolling their eyes.

"So, Tidus, since you lost you'll have to climb that lovely tree!" Rikku said pointing towards a big, long, and crooked looking tree.

"Oh great..." Tidus muttered.


I'm sorry, but in my last chapter my computer ran out of memory so I couldn't put it on Word document and stuff, so no spell check and I don't' know how to do HTML spell check. Since I'm a fast typer, I kind of have poor accuracy so that should explain for the mistakes. So that is why it had a lot of errors, grammar checking in the middle of your summer vacation at 2 AM isn't all too good. Also when you're reading something that u wrote, it'll be different from what other people will see, like with the homophones and stuff so yeah! Also, please review? I'll give you a cookie! hehe
