Camping Trip

"I'm so tired," Lucy complained with disgust as they waited in line for their luggage.

"Yeah, we all are, sheila," Bobby conceded gruffly. "I hope our tents have comfortable air mattresses!"

"Uh, sorry Bobby, no air mattresses," Tara inserted apologetically, "Only sleeping bags."

Bobby whimpered like a little child. "Oh, save me," he murmured quietly, "I'm going to die."

Myles rolled his eyes. "Wimp," he muttered under his breath.

Smacking his arm, Lucy reprimanded, "Myles, be nice."

Jack sighed. "Come on, Myles."

Myles just stuck his tongue out at them in a childish gesture. "Fine." He eyed Lucy warily. "You're all against me, I'm sure of it."

"Look, our luggage is here," Sue pointed out. The conveyor belt was moving slowly. She reached for her duffel bag, and smiled in thanks when Jack took it for her.

Ever the gentleman, Bobby gallantly offered to take Tara's while gathering his own, and Myles grudgingly took Lucy's.

The women grinned and grabbed the camping supplied. "Thank you," they chimed.

"Look, a store!" Bobby shouted.

"Yes, Crash, it's a store. That's where we buy food," Jack explained patiently.

The six of them had been given keys to a large van that would take them as far as the edge of the lake, where 3 canoes were waiting for them.

Bobby flew out of the van and jumped up and down excitedly. "We're here!"

The others groaned. An hour and a half in a crowded van with Bobby Manning was not their idea of a vacation, except, of course, Tara's.

"Why don't we get everything across first, and then come back and get food?" Myles suggested logically.

"That's a good idea," Sue put in. "We could have two people in a canoe, and some luggage in the middle."

"I'll go with Tara," Bobby said.

"Sue can come with me," Jack offered.

Lucy heaved a sigh. "Fine, I'll go with Myles, but I'm going with Sue when we come back." Before Myles could even open his mouth, she added, "And I'm taking the back."

"But I wanted the back!" he protested.

"Too bad, it's not my fault you're slow."

The argument continued as they all paddled across the river and began setting up and unpacking.

"We get the bigger tent!"

"Wow, that's mature."

"Shut up."
