Saturday Night
Mark, Mimi, Collins, Angel, and Joanne arrived back at the campsite around 5:37ish.
"Roger and Maureen still aren't back yet?" Mark asked.
"Doesn't look like it." Collins said.
"I wonder what they did to make all those people chase them?" Angel asked.
"I hope they come back soon, it's getting kind of cold." Joanne said.
"Well let's cook some dinner and maybe they will smell the food and come back." Mimi said with a smile on her face.
"Sounds good I'm so hungry." Collins said.
"I still can't believe Benny won! That should have been me up there!" Joanne said in a furious voice.
"It's okay Joanne, remember it was just a game." Angel said.
"Here maybe this will cheer you up." Collins handed her some liquor and Joanne took a big drink.
"Take it easy, that has to last us all of tonight." Collins said while grabbing the bottle out of Joanne's hand.
Half hour went by.
"Supper is ready and they still are not back yet." Mark said.
"Should we start eating anyways?" Angel asked.
"I guess, I mean we can always save them some food, for when they get back." Mimi suggested.
So they all started eating.
"It's getting cold. Lets start the fire now." Collins said.
Collins started the fire, Angle, Joanne and Mimi cleaned up the mess after dinner, and Mark was loading on bug spray.
"What's that smell?" Mimi asked.
"It's Mark." Joanne pointed at Mark who was still spraying the bug spray all over him.
"Mark dude I don't think you need that much." Collins said.
"I have to, I get really sensitive to bug bites." Mark said.
"Don't go near the fire, you'll blow up." Angel said laughing.
"No I wont… will I?" Mark had a worried look on his face. He ran over to Joanne "Will I blow up?" He asked while pulling on her shirt.
"No, you're not going to blow up." Joanne said while sliding Mark out of the way.
"I'm getting worried, should we go look for them?" Joanne asked.
"It's 7:30, if they're not back by 8:30, we will go look for them." Collins said.
"What should we do until then?" Mimi asked.
"I'm tired let's just sit by the fire." Mark said.
Everyone agreed and sat around the fire.
"What time is it?" Joanne asked.
"5 minutes from the time you asked before." Mark answered.
"I'm getting worried I think they should have been back by now." Joanne said.
"I agree, knowing Roger they are probably lost or something." Mimi added.
"You guys hear that?" Angel asked. "It sounds like it's coming from over there." Angel pointed to the woods behind the tent.
"You think it's a bear?" Mark asked while pulling out his camera.
They stared in the direction the noise was coming from, waiting to see what would appear. Then out ran Roger and Maureen, who where still tied together and had terrified looks on their face. Joanne and Mimi ran over to them.
"Are you guys okay?" Mimi and Joanne asked at the same time.
"Where fine." Roger and Maureen answered.
"Where the hell have you been?" Mimi yelled while hitting Roger.
"We will explain later. First can you please untie us, this rope his killing me." Maureen said.
"We left you some food." Joanne said.
They untied the two, and they both ran to the picnic table where the food was, and started shoving it into their mouths.
"It looks like you guys haven't seen food in a week." Angel said laughing.
Roger and Maureen didn't even look up.
After they where done eating, they walked over to the fire where everyone was sitting. Roger was sort of limping, and when Maureen went to sit down she winced a little.
"You okay?" Joanne asked Maureen
"I'm fine." Maureen replied.
"So what happened to you guys out there?" Mark said while putting the camera on Maureen.
"Yeah why where those people chasing you?" Collins asked.
"Mr. Davis here thought it would be a good idea if we stole scavenger hunt items from people." Maureen said.
"Roger!" Mimi shouted at him.
"Hey Maureen did it too!" Roger said. "It was a good idea, we almost had all the items, until someone spotted us."
"That's when everyone who we stole from found out about it, and that's why they where chasing us." Maureen said.
"Then we ran into the woods to get away. Right after we seen you guys." Roger said.
"And then what happened?" Angel asked.
"Nothing, we just kind of got lost." Maureen answered quickly.
"No, something else happened." Collins said. "I can see it in your eyes."
"Nothing, nothing happened." Roger said quickly.
Roger and Maureen made eye contact and then they quickly looked away. Mimi saw them do this.
"What happen to you two out there? Your acting weird." Mimi said.
"It was nothing." Maureen said, "I'll be right back thought I have to go to the bathroom.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Joanne asked.
"No thanks I'll be fine on my own." Maureen said as she slowly got up and gave Joanne a peck on the lips and walked toward the bathroom.
They all looked at Roger. "So… did you guys have fun today?" Roger asked trying to change the subject.
They all answered yes except for Joanne and Mark.
"Benny and Alison won the stupid prize." Joanne said.
"What! That's crazy." Roger said while laughing.
"Tell me about it. But I still had fun, Angel was a good partner." Joanne said.
"What about you Mark?" Roger asked. "How was your partner?"
"Mean, I hated her, she was so rude to me." Mark said.
"BEAAAAAAAAAAR" Maureen cried while running out from the woods and jumping on the nearest person she could find.
Everyone looked into the woods from where Maureen ran from.
"I don't see anything." Angel said.
"Trust me there was one! It was big and brown." Maureen explained.
"Are you sure?" Joanne asked.
"Well I didn't really see it. I heard big noises coming from behind me, and what else makes big noises like that?" Maureen said.
The "bear" Started making noises again.
"Oh my god it's coming!" Maureen shouted while hiding her face in the shoulder of the person she was sitting on.
Everyone was scared, they all looked with horror as they waited for the "bear" to come out of the woods. Then out walked a raccoon.
They all looked at Maureen, disappointed.
"Maureen it was a raccoon!" Mark said while pointing over to it.
Maureen looked up and over to where Mark was pointing. Maureen started to fake laugh.
"Hahaha fooled you all." Maureen said weakly.
"If you fooled us then why are you holding on to me for dear life?" Mimi said with a smile.
"I didn't think the protester/drama queen got scared." Mimi said with a smirk
Maureen just hit Mimi playfully on the arm and walked toward the tent.
"Whatever I hate camping! I'm going to bed." Maureen said and disappeared into the tent.
"Should I go in and talk to her?" Joanne asked.
"No, I think she had a long day, just let her rest." Angel said.
They all looked at Roger.
"What did this long day consist of?" Collins asked.
Roger just smiled weakly at everyone and shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe her monthly friend came down to visit her, you girls know how much that would suck while camping." Roger said trying to make anything up.
"No, that's not it." Joanne said eyeing Roger.
"Who knows, I mean she is a little drama queen. She thought a raccoon was a bear." Roger said, "Anyway I think I'm going to go to the bathroom." Roger said as he quickly got up and left for the bathroom.
The rest of the 5 just looked at each other. Angel changed the subject of how he loves camping and they talked all night about it. When Roger got back he kissed Mimi on the lips then went to bed. The other 5 stayed up until about 12:30ish, and headed to bed as well.
