"Arthur, have you seen my brush?" Zosia frowned after searching through her bag. The pair were attempting to get ready whilst Dom had gone for a shower but it was proving more difficult than they'd expected.

"Is this it?"

"Yes, where was it?" She demanded.

"It was inside the sleeve of my coat." He frowned in confusion. "Are you sure you haven't seen my phone? I can't find it anywhere."

"Why would I have seen your phone? It's not as if I'd actually want to…"

"Want to what?" Arthur asked but he turned around to see Zosia taking his iPhone out of her light blue and white spotted toiletry bag.

"I don't understand. How did that…?" She trailed off as she handed him his phone, but she then noticed the state that her hiking boots were in. "Don't you think it's funny how nothing of Dom's stuff has been messed up?" She aired aloud. "Oh I am going to kill him–"

"No wait. Zosia what if we get our own back?" He suggested.

"What were you thinking?" She asked sheepishly.

Unfortunately for Jonny, his partner was an early riser so he woke much earlier than he'd like to an alarm on her phone. Once she'd turned it off, she sat up and stretched her arms out before she turned to see his face with a cheesy, sleepy grin on it.

"How's your ribs?" She asked.

"Not too ba–" He begun but he grimaced and groaned as he strained to sit up.

"Let me have a look." Jac ordered and she didn't even give him a chance to protest as she lifted his shirt up to his collarbone, and evaluated the bruise that had gotten slightly deeper and darker overnight. "I'm not sure if you should walk today." She said concernedly.

"Jac, I'm fine. Really." He said reassuringly.

"Do you at least want to take some more diclofenac this morning to take the edge off of the pain?"

"Um… Yeah, go on then. Please." He replied so she reached over to her bag, grabbed the box of tablets from the top as well as a bottle of water and handed them to him.

Dom had just turned the shower off so he reached past the side of the shower curtain to grab his towel from the bench, only he couldn't find it. He poked his head around the curtain, only he found that his towel, his clothes and his washing gear had all gone missing.

"Maybe this pranking wasn't such a good idea." He muttered to himself as he prepared for complete and utter shame – he knew he wouldn't get his things back until he had drawn attention to himself so he took a deep breath, used his hands to protect what he could of his pride and then exited the toilet and shower block.

"What on Earth…?" Guy trailed off.

"He's finally cracked." Zosia smirked as the others – who had already gathered since they were leaving soon – all watched him stand completely naked with his hands covering what needed to be covered. "Zosia, where are my things?" He demanded whilst Sacha stifled a laugh.

"I don't know, maybe someone moved them." She teased. "It's odd because I couldn't find my brush this morning and Arthur's phone had gone missing."

"But you made my shoes pink! I was getting my own back!" He protested.

"And now we've got our own back Dom." Arthur smiled. Everyone laughed quietly as Dom huffed and then stormed into their tent – which was the only tent that was still standing. They didn't want to be entirely cruel so they'd left it standing so he'd have somewhere to change.

"Well done ladies and gentlemen, you have achieved your bronze Duke of Edinburgh award." Guy announced after he'd opened the door of the minibus and allowed everyone to step off. "Get some rest, and I'll see you all at work tomorrow."

"My legs are killing me." Dom moaned after stepping down from the vehicle, only to find that the hour and forty-five minute journey hadn't improved the achiness he felt in his legs every time he took a step forward.

"Wimp." Zosia quipped as she dumped her bag on the ground before she hopped down to the car park tarmac.

"Oh and before anybody leaves," Guy began "the silver practice expedition will be in approximately six weeks. The silver award requires a trek lasting three days and two nights and to make it a little interesting, we'll be walking around the perimeter of Loch Ness."

"Oh brilliant!" Jonny grinned though he knew his partner would be of the reciprocal opinion.

"And how far is that?" Colette asked sternly.

"Forty-nine miles but split over three days, it won't be a problem." Guy replied. "I'll email you all further details but I do know that getting the train up there overnight rather than going by minibus will make the journey more comfortable."

"There you go." Jonny smiled as he turned the taps off in the bathroom. "One steaming hot bath with lavender oil in to help you relax and I've put your new copy of the BMJ just next to the bath if you want something to read." He explained as his partner stood with a thick fluffy towel wrapped around her frame and her long, auburn hair tied back in a tight bun to keep it out of her face.

"Why do I get the feeling that you're after something?" She raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not after anything, I just want to you have a nice evening… and I might possibly just be in a good mood because the next expedition is in Scotland." He grinned. "Go on, in you get."

"I'll get in, when you get out." She smiled sweetly as she placed her hand on his chest and gently pushed him out of the bathroom before she closed the door.

"It's not like I haven't seen it all before." Jonny sung before he left her in peace to have a relaxing bath after a long weekend.

"Jesse." Guy said questioningly as he opened his apartment door to find his best mate standing in the hallway.

"I'm not going to be here long, I just wanted to do this in person." The man admitted as he held out an envelope.

"I don't understand."

"Sorry man, but I can't stay here anymore."

"What? Over a little bit of pranking?" Guy frowned.

"No it's… it's complicated. Besides, you know me. I don't put my roots down anywhere. I've been here long enough and I need to get going again."

"Jesse will you please just tell me what's going on with you and Zosia?" He pleaded. "Look if you're going then why can't you tell me now? I just want to know what's going on."

"I think you already know mate... There's no need for me to spell it out, is there?" Jesse admitted ashamedly.

"Jesse… she's my little girl."

"I know, and I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry–"

"How could you take advantage of her like that? You've known her since she was a baby. You held her when she was days old and you slept with her?!" He shouted.

"I know what I did was wrong but at the end of the day Guy, I never forced her into anything."

"Don't you dare insinuate that it was her fault." He growled. "Just get out of my sight and I don't ever want to see you ever again." He stated as he slammed his front door and then took a deep breath. It looked like there was only going to be ten people on the next expedition but until then, he'd have to try to look his daughter in the eye without letting her know what he knew she'd done. After all, she was just a young woman and Jesse Lawe was almost double her age – she'd been taken advantage of.

Thank you for reading! Please let me know what you think of this story and I hope to have the silver practice expedition up soon :)
