'Jay! Erika!' Derrik called throughout the cabin.

'What, Der?' Erika asked, coming out of the kitchen, she was cooking lunch.

'Can me and James go and play outside in the snow?' Derrik asked. James was the friend that Derrik brought along. He actually wasn't Derrik's friend he was Hilary's little brother. Hilary wasn't aloud to go without him, and Martha couldn't go. It was a perfect solution, Derrik seemed to like him, anyway, so it worked out.

'Uh, I don't know, Derrik. The wind is blowing pretty hard right now, and lunch is almost ready. How about we wait until the wind calms down,' Erika replied.

'But Erika!' Derrik whined.

'Derrik, no. Okay? I'll go out with you after lunch,' Erika offered.

'Promise?' Derrik asked.

'I promise.'

Nikki and Cameron were upstairs in the room that Hilary and Nikki shared. There were lamps lighting up the room. Nikki was reading a magazine, and taking the 'compatibility quizzes'. Cameron was watching over her shoulder.

'Nik?' Cam prompted.

'Yeah, Cam?' Nikki replied.

'You are so beautiful.'

She set down the magazine and turned towards him and smiled, 'Thank you.'

Cameron jumped off the bed, and grabbed Nikki. He picked her up and put her on his shoulders. 'Cam! Cam!' Nikki giggled, 'Put me down!' Cameron ran around the room with Nikki on his shoulders. 'Cam!' Nikki giggled.

'Okay,' Cameron said. He tossed her lightly on the bed. She giggled. He jumped on the bed and started tickling her. Nikki giggled continuously, Nikki flipped over and started tickling Cameron. 'Oh, no you don't,' Cam laughed. 'You can't tickle me!'

KNOCK! KNOCK!

'Hello? Can I come in? Is it safe?' Erika's voice said, outside the door.

Nikki and Cameron laughed. 'Of course!' Nikki said. Erika opened the door, 'Hey guys. Just wanted to tell you lunch is up, so come on down.'

'Okay,' Cam said. Nikki and Cameron jumped off the bed and went downstairs.

At Lunch In The Dining Room:

Nikki sat next to Cameron, and next to Cameron was Derrik. Hilary sat on the other side of the table next to Bradin, and he sat next to James. At each end of the table, Jay and Erika sat.

'Wow, this looks great, Erika. Thank you so much,' James said.

'Uh, it was no problem, James,' Erika said awkwardly.

The conversation at lunch was very boring. They talked, ate, talked, ate, talked amongst themselves, etcetera.

'I need some more water, anyone want some?' Jay asked.

'No,' everyone replied.

Jay walked to the kitchen and turned on the faucet. It sputtered a little then nothing. Nothing came out. 'No!' Jay said, loudly.

'What is it Jay?' Erika ran to the kitchen worried.

'The pipes froze,' Jay said quietly, 'We'll have no plumbing.'

'What? No plumbing?' Erika asked.

Around the table, everyone murmured, 'Oh my god!', 'No plumbing!'

'Well, yeah. We wont be able to use the bathroom inside, or the tubs, and showers, or the sinks. We have like, a trillion and one water jugs, and frozen water jugs, so we are good with drinking water. And there is an out house, outside. No one has ever used it, I think, so it is clean.'

'Ew,' Nikki said.

'We are gonna be fine, right! RIGHT! Jay! This is not okay! Jay, things are terrible!' Erika started crying...
