Having driven a few miles into the forest, the kids were exited about the cabin they were about to see as Leslie drove through some pretty rough road, but it was bound to be worth it. Lincoln Mollie and Ronnie Anne were looking out the windows of the van, staring out into the forest and enjoying the gorgeous scenario.

Mollie:"I don't think I can remember seeing the forest this beautiful."

Lincoln:"Well, it's not called Royal Woods for nothing.

The others laugh at his joke as they were approaching their final destination.

Leslie:"We'll be approaching the cabin real soon."

Lincoln:"Hopefully, this cabin isn't haunted like that movie Lucy showed me last night."

Jordan:"I'm sure that won't happen, Lincoln."

Christina:"Besides. I was told that it was a very nice cabin."

Upon reaching the place, they were surprised by the sight of the cabin. It was painted yellow with a black roof and white support beams in the front, and also had a pair of large arch-shaped double doors. It looked rather expensive and the kids stared at it in awe.

Christina:"It's surprisingly held up well after all these years."

Paige:"I didn't think it would be this big."

Mollie:"Why would you think that?"

Paige:"I guess I've just never scene a cabin that has looked so...nice."

Ronnie Anne:"Why's that?"

Jordan:"She probably thinks all woodland cabins are makeshift and old."

Paige ignored that last statement as Leslie was looking like she was getting ready to leave.

Leslie:"Welp, I better head back into town, guys."

Christina:"Thanks for the ride, Leslie. We'll call you when we need a ride home."

Leslie:"Alright. See you kids later."

The rest of the group waved goodbye as Leslie drove off. But then, something came to Mollie's mind.

Mollie:"Wait. Don't we need her around to you, like, you know...supervise and stuff?"

Christina:"Well, she would, but she has other things to do back home."

Ronnie Anne:"Doesn't matter now. Come on, let's head inside."

Walking up to the cabin, they opened the double doors as and gazed at the interior of the cabin's living room. The walls were painted light blue, there were green couches and cushion chairs, along with a red-brown colored carpet in the middle. There were a a pictures and paintings of mountains/lakes hanging from the walls, to which Jordan and Stella walked over to and admired.

Jordan:"Nice."

Stella:"Yeah, they really live up the place.

There was also wooden glass figurine case to the right of the room, which were filled with said precious ceramics, which Lincoln looks at closely.

Lincoln:"Gotta hand it to you, Christina. This seems like the perfect place to stay for a while."

Christina:"Thanks. We should probably check out the rest of the rooms."

Up next were two bed rooms with a convenient pair of beds inside, each of them corresponding with a variety of different colored sheets, being Light Blue, Red, Orange, Purple and Yellow. The second room actually had one regular bed and a bunk bed. Lincoln, Jordan, Mollie and Christina put their stuff down in the first room, while Ronnie Anne, Paige and Stella got the second.

Lincoln:"I think these rooms will do nicely."

Jordan:"Definitely."

Christina:"There are still some other rooms to explore."

Up next was the kitchen with the walls painted orange and the sink and counter built into the walls, and having cabinets which their doors were painted white.

Stella:"Well, at least we won't go hungry while we're here."

Christina:"Are you sure? I mean I don't know how long this cabin was untouched-"

But upon opening the fridge, she could see that it was fully stocked with fresh food, vegetables and meat, including ham, steak, chicken, taco meat and a whole turkey. For vegetables, there were broccoli, carrots, potatoes, onion and garlic. And there was even fruit, including a whole watermelon and apples, oranges, bananas, and tomatoes. By the sight of all this food, Christina was caught by surprise with her jaw dropped.

Lincoln:"I guess your family keeps this place stocked in case anybody's home."

Christina:"That explains why there are some high bills."

Back into the main room of the cabin, does Lincoln surprisingly hug Ronnie Anne, Christina, and Stella happily.

Lincoln:"I can't thank you guys enough for bringing me along on this trip."

Ronnie Anne:"No problem."

Christina:"Least we can do."

Stella:"Glad you like it."

Deciding to had outside and see the rest of the forest surrounding the cabin, the kids headed out and headed for the waterfall nearby. Little did the realized that they were being watched by someone along the way, as they approached the waterfall.

Mollie:"I wonder what that fall is like."

Lincoln:"Yeah. What's it like, Christina?"

Christina:"It's lovely. I used to go swimming here a few summers ago. See for yourself."

Arriving, they see that the waterfall was flowing through a swimming pond, but keeps heading down a rapid stream, which was fortunately blocked by rocks. The water itself was sparkly and clear. The others were amazed by how the falls looked.

Stella:"It's enough to make someone cry. (wipes away tear)"

Christina:"It's just that beautiful."

Lincoln:"This vacation is getting better already."

It was then that he saw a path up the waterfall, made of a rocky slope made in a zigzag formation. But the only way to get there was being climbing some semi-steep rocks. First, Lincoln was up, then Ronnie Anne, Jordan, Stella, Christina Paige and then Mollie. The rock climb was only minimal as they saw the path up ahead.

Stella:"Is that path even safe, Christina?"

Christina:"It should be. But it hasn't been used in a while."

Lincoln:"(looking scared) I don't know about this."

Then, Stella and Jordan moved towards Lincoln, patting him on the back.

Stella:"It'll be all good and safe, Lincoln."

Jordan:"We've got your back."

That made Lincoln feel better as they decided to head up the path. Upon reaching the top of the waterfall, they see a few things that catch their eye, a rock climbing coarse and a bungie jumping spot. The kids were most intrigued by the sight of it.

Lincoln:"The cabin had THIS!?"

Christina:"I forgot about those."

Mollie:""How could you forget? This is amazing!"

Ronnie Anne:"How about we go a round right now?"

Lincoln:"Not yet, it looks like there's a log bridge over the waterfall."

There was indeed, and looked sturdy enough to hold them as they decided to go over and cross. They went in the same order they were in when the climbed up the path. Luckily, the log was held by rocks, so there was no chance of it falling as they slowly moved across it.

Ronnie Anne:"Man, who know this route had a bit of an obstacle course?"

Christina:"Well, my grandfather was a guy who liked to exercise in extreme ways."

Mollie:"I'm liking your grandfather already."

Jordan:"Me too."

Lincoln:"Be careful, guys. We're almost on the other side."

One by one, they slowly make their way to the other side of the bridge.

Lincoln:"Maybe we can approve on that bridge, later on."

Christina:"I'll let my family know."

Stella:"Actually Christina, I think Lincoln meant build a bridge ourselves."

Christina:"Us? Build a bridge?"

Lincoln:"Don't worry. We won't have to do it right away. For now on, let's just see what's here."

Up ahead appeared to be what looked like a shrine, no older than 100 hundred years. The kids were silent as the approached the shine, which held nothing but a gravestone, surrounded by some pink flowers, and a withered, black and white picture of a young man which appeared to be from the 50s. Everyone was confused, except for Christina, who approached the gravestone.

Ronnie Anne:"...What exactly is this place?"

Christina:"This is where my Grandfather was buried."

Now, the rest of the group was beginning to understand. They knew how much it meant for Christina as this was her Grandfather's resting place, and so close to his cabin.

Jordan:"T-This is where your Grandfather died?"

Christina:"It's where he was buried. He wanted to be close to his home. Everything else here..is just to help remember him."

She began to cry a little. And that was when Lincoln decided to come over towards her and give her a side-hug...then a small kiss on the cheek, which caught her by surprise. That kiss made her think of her grandfather, as he always gave her those.

Lincoln:"Maybe, we should head back."

Stella:"You know, I have to admit that you have an interesting past, Christina."

Christina:"Yeah, well my Grandfather used to be a bit of an explorer. I've been trying to find time to do the same."

Jordan:"Interesting...Hey, how about we go take a dip in the pond?"

Lincoln:"Works for me."

They all agree as they head back down and get ready to go swimming. But Lincoln slowed down behind them for a second.

Lincoln:"I glad I have friends like them."

Later on, they all decide to go swimming in the pond as they got themselves ready in swimsuits. Lincoln had his orange swim trunks, Ronnie Anne had both a purple tank top and swim trunks, and Mollie had a one piece swimsuit with pink on top, white in the middle and red on the bottom. Christina was wearing a one piece navy blue swimsuit, still having her headband on her hair, Paige had on a white crop top with a magenta star in the middle and pair of matching white swim shorts. Jordan had her hair out of its regular braid as she wore a yellow one-piece with turquoise stripe going across it. Everyone was accounted for, except for Stella as they headed for the pond.

Christina:"(combing her hair with her hand) I wonder if the water will mess up my hair."

Lincoln:"I'm sure it'll be fine...(looks at Jordan) You know, you look pretty nice with your hair down like that."

Jordan:"(Blushes) Oh, why thank you, Lincoln."

Ronnie Anne:"So what exactly are we waiting for?"

Christina:"We're waiting on Stella."

Stella:"I'm ready."

Turning to see her, they all softly gasp at the sight of her swimsuit, especially Lincoln. Stella had both red crop top and skirt as she walked towards them.

Stella:"How do I look?"

Lincoln:"(blushes)...I always forget how good you look in that."

Stella:"Don't think I didn't see that blush of yours."

Lincoln:"(nervous laughter)"

Stella:"Thanks for the compliment though."

Ronnie Anne:"Alright, enough flirting. Let's boogie!"

And with that, do they all jump in one by one, first Ronnie Anne, then Lincoln, Stella, Christina, Jordan, Paige and Mollie. They all started to have fun in the lake and were doing a lot of splashing, splashing each other, splashing together, synchronized splashing. But when Ronnie Anne made a big splash, Lincoln, Paige and Mollie were all caught in it. Both girls both surfaced to catch a breath.

Paige:"That was pretty big."

Mollie:"Almost felt like a Tidal Wave."

Stella:"No kidding. What do you think, Lincoln? ...Lincoln?"

Realizing he hasn't surfaced, the girls look frantically around the pond for him. That is until, Lincoln suddenly came up from underneath Stella and had her sitting on top of his shoulders.

Stella:"Ah, Lincoln! Put me down! This isn't funny!"

Jordan:"Just go with it, Stella. We're trying to make this the best vacation he's had."

Stella:"Okay then...I'm not too heavy, am I Lincoln?"

Lincoln:"(struggling to keep her up) Nope! I'm fine! I can do this! ...(arms start to give out) And I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling!"

And then, he fell backwards, causing another huge splash. As they surfaced, Lincoln and Stella were silent for a moment before everyone started laughing at what just happened.

Lincoln:"Heh, heh. You know what? I wanna thank you girls once again for bringing me out here. This trip has turned out better than I expected."

Stella:"...You wanna hug, don't you?"

Lincoln had a smile on his face as he nods, silently and quickly.

Stella:"(rolls her eyes)...Oh, come here, you."

And with open arms, Stella welcomes Lincoln into her embrace with a hug. The others join in on it as well, and as they did hug, Lincoln spoke his thoughts aloud.

Lincoln:"I really love you guys."

That made each and everyone of them blush, but they accepted it and continued to hug Lincoln. Little did they know that they were being watched, this time by too figures who had seen everything from where they hiding.

?:"They seem like a nice group."

? 2:"But can we trust them?"

?:Of course. They're just kids after all."

? 2:"Yes...perhaps they could helps to get away from our pursuer."

And with, did the two mysterious figures retreat into the bushes.
