After the long drive, the 4 of them are eager to get out of the car in which they had been sitting in for about an hour.

However, for the time being they are admiring the view from the car. Until Monika stops the car near an open spot with huge space.

"Here we are!" She said while turning back to look at the others.

Sayori practically jumps out of the car and rubs her eyes with a bright smile. Natsuki, Yuri, and Monika simultaneously get out of the car aswell. Yuri breathes in, enjoying the silence in the air, except for the occasional birds chirping. There's a moment of silence between the girls, only lasting a few seconds but feels like ages.

Soon Monika starts pulling things from the trunk and the others follow.

"So this is where we're staying for the next few days?" Sayori says.

"Yep." Monila chirps while tossing a small bag onto Yuri's chest.

"Ow..."

Natsuki digs out a bag that is about 2x the size of her and puts it around her back, forcing a normal expression through obvious pain. "What- Are you- Looking at?" She says with her voice trembling.

Sayori pokes the bag. "Are you sure you can carry that?"

"Yes!" Natsuki swings the bag trying to turn towards Sayori which almost knocks her on her butt. She sighs. "It'll be lighter once i get all this crap out of it!"

"Bag coming through!" Monika shouts.

"Huh?"

A bag suddenly hits Natsuki in the stomach which causes her to fall backwards from the weight of the bag.

"Oops." Monika says, trying not to laugh.

Yuri picks the fallen girl back up. Whose eyes suddenly turn towards Monika. Who in return gives an innocent wave.

~

"So where exactly do you plan on putting this bag?" Monika asks Natsuki.

"Didn't... Really... Think this through..." Natsuki says, trying to keep a normal expression through back pain.

"You... Sure you don't want to just put it down for now?" Monika says.

"Fine..." Natsuki acts like she doesn't want to, but she needs to get rid of the bag before her back explodes. She throws the bag onto the floor and moans in relief.

Monika pokes her head up from behind her. "That's a weird noise to make after setting a bag down.

"Shut up." Natsuki says while collasping onto the bag.

Monika giggles and leaves the resting teen there in peace. She then approaches Yuri. "Mind helping me set up the tents?"

Yuri jumps a little. "Eh? Me?"

"Well Sayori is a little clumsy." Monika explains

"Hey..." Sayori pokes her head up from the trunk.

"And I can't exactly ask Natsuki right now because..." Monika points towards Natsuki, who's still laying on her bag like a broken toy.

Yuri nods. "I understand, I'll help."

"Thanks!~"

Monika and Yuri start setting up the two tents. Both so big that it's a surprise they even fit in the car.

"Eh? There's only two..." Yuri stutters a bit while asking.

"You didn't know that?" Monika looks back at her puzzled. Which causes Yuri to look down.

"I... I don't quite recall that..." She could've sworn she would remember something like that, the idea of sleeping next to someone didn't sound too comforting for her, even if it was just a friend.

"Yeah we discussed a few days ago, Natsuki couldn't ask her dad to a buy a tent-" Monika suddenly stops. "Wait you aren't nervous about sleeping with a friend are you?"

Yuri gulps. "Eh... I..."

Monika takes a deep breathe. "I... Probably should've worded that better shouldn't?" She chuckles.

That doesn't help Yuri's case, but the other two over hear and come over to investigate what the topic is about.

"Something wrong?" Sayori asks.

"Uhh... I..." Yuri wants to get the words out but... Nothing but stuttering is coming from her mouth.

"She's nervous about sleeping with a friend." Monika says, with her smile growing bigger.

Natsuki frowns. "Jeez I never thought of you as that kind of girl Yuri."

"Wha- No! She didn't... That's not..."

Natsuki burst out in laughter.

"I'd sleep with all of you, and give you all big hugs!" Sayori blurts out, oblivious to the current situation.

Monika nods in agreement and Yuri sighs.

Natsuki sighs too, as well with a painful expression. "Look, if it makes you feel any better I don't want to share tents with any of you either, but..." Her face suddenly turns red, it's hard to tell from anger or embarrasment. "I'll... I'll sleep by you but you have to be at least be a foot away!" She makes a weird gesture trying to indicate the distance.

"I... It's better than nothing." Yuri feels a slight relief that hides the anxiety that still lurks around her.

"Aww so cute!" Sayori squeaks.

"Too bad for you two, I get Sayori!" Monika wraps her arm around the peach haired girl.

Yuri clears her mind. "We... We should probably finish setting the tents up..."

Monika gives an understanding nod and they go back to setting up the tents while the other two head off.

~

Natsuki and Sayori walk around the area waiting for the other two to set up the tent.

"Hey... The wolf thing... Monika was joking, right?" Natsuki looks around the area.

"Yeah I think?" Sayori scratches her head. "At least the wolves would appreciate my hugs..."

"Sayori for the last time, the problem isn't your hugs, it's you."

Sayori pouts. "Meanie..."

"What? I'm just telling the truth."

Sayori looks around for something to do, she doesn't say anything back to Natsuki but she soon sits down on a log and starts playing with a stick, while Natsuki approaches her.

"Jeez you must be bored..." Natsuki stands next to the sitting girl. "Sayori?"

"Is it true... Am I... A problem?" Sayori asks in a normal voice.

Natsuki feels her stomach ache. She's never been fond of comforting people. But seeing Sayori like this actually makes her feel a little guilty. She sighs. "Sayori... I- I'm sorry, okay?"

"You... You don't mean that..." Sayori smiles at Natuski, an unusual reaction to the words that just came out of her mouth.

Natsuki was getting annoyed. "Of course I mean it! I mean... I don't know..."

Sayori doesn't say anything, except give a weak nod.

"Ugh." Natsuki forces herself to sit next to Sayori and hug her. "You mean a lot to us, all of us, especially Monika!"

Sayori turns away and shakes her head. "Why? I don't deserve it..."

"If you don't deserve it then why would you be Vice President? If you weren't here with us, I could already tell things would be a lot different..." She wasn't sure if she was helping Sayori

Once again, Sayori smiles though, not convincingly she nods. "We should go back, they're hopefully done by now. Come on!" She gets up and marches away.

Natsuki sighs in relief about it being over, but also feels guilty that she'd rather not help. She drags her feet and follows the bouncy girl. "Wanna explain what that was?"

"Huh?" Sayori looks back at Natsuki. "Don't worry about it! The only thing we should be worried about is having fun!"

"I sometimes wonder if you think about the things that come out of your mouth." Natsuki says.

~

Back at the tent, Monika and Yuri sit and wait for the other two to appear. Yuri glances over to see Monika writing in a notebook of some sort. Even though she's curious about what she's writing, her mouth refuses to let her speak. Yuri takes a deep breath in attempt to get the thoughts out of her mind. But it must've been too obvious again...

Monika looks over towards Yuri. "Something bothering you?"

"Eh? No... It- It's nothing..."

"Yuri please I can tell when something is wrong with my club members, it's my job! Plus it's sorta easier tell when you're down." Monika looks down. "That... That wasn't supposed to come out that way..." Monika shakes her head in embarrasment. "Sorry!"

"I- It's fine..."

"No, it's not." Suddenly Monika stands and walks towards Yuri and sits next to her, which only makes her feel worse. "Is this about the tent thing earlier? If so I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have joked the way I did..."

It would make Yuri feel better, if that was the core problem. She still hadn't told anyone about the anxiety she's had the past weeks about the vacation. "...Thank you Monika..." She needed to tell someone how she felt but her mind was holding her back.

"It's something else isn't it?" Monika gives her a suspicious look.

Yuri couldn't keep lying like this. She had to say something. "I-"

The other two girls appeared from the woods in front of them.

"We're back!~" Sayori calls out.

Monika stands up. "Find anything interesting out there?"

"Sayori found a stick." Natsuki says, in monotone.

Sayori nods proudly as if accomplishing a big task.

Yuri stands up and clears her throat. "So... Anything planned for today Monika?"

Monika smirks back at her. "I'm glad you asked! Follow me young ones!"

Natsuki frowns. "Young ones...?"
