Hey Hi Hello Everyone! Sorry, I'm just now getting around to updating this. Here you go.

Ciel woke up the next morning to the sound of birds chirping and his stomach grumbling. He yawned and stretched, preparing to go back to sleep... only to find a sleeping face with purple locks splaying everywhere. The camping trip, he'd totally forgot! He carefully tiptoed out of the tent, catching his foot on the bottom flap and falling face first on the dry ground. He choked and coughed as the dust settled around him. Directly in front of him was a sneaker clad foot tapping on the ground, and as Ciel's eyesight moved up, he saw the foot attached to a leg, attached to an... Alois.

The blonde dramatically sighed and hauled Ciel up roughly. Ciel grumbled as he pulled on his sneakers, and the two walked to the bags, and realized that there was absolutely no food. Ciel opened his bag and started rifling through it while Alois sneered, "What are you doing? Looking for your pocket protector?" Ciel ignored him, and found what he was looking for, a small pocket guide to plants and edible foods. He took the book and started walking off in a random direction, leaving Alois behind. The blonde boy realized what was happening, and ran after Ciel and blocked his way.

"Hey! What are you doing?! You just can't leave someone as attractive as me alone, I'll get mauled out here!" Alois cried, stomping his foot on the ground. He ran back to the bags, leaving Ciel confused and annoyed as hell. Alois grabbed a compass, a pocket knife, and a pan and scrawled out a note for the other boys, then ran to Ciel. The blunette was already starting to walk off a bit, and Alois stayed a few steps behind, remembering to slash the tree trunks on their path with a T. Ciel looked around him, feeling almost alive in the forest, and saw many plants and berries near him, ignoring them until he heard the sound of water flowing.

The two boys ran to the water, Alois nearly forgetting to mark the trees in his excitement, and they found a small stream, teeming with life awaiting them. Near the streams were small shrubs with what appeared to be strawberries, and after seeing a squirrel eat them, it was confirmed. Ciel was about to tell Alois what to do next, and he turned to see the blonde stripping of his shirt.

"God, Trancy, what the hell are you doing?!" Alois smirked.

"Are you enjoying the view? Smart guy, you didn't bring anything to carry the berries with!" Ciel almost mentally face palmed. Alois handed the shirt to Ciel, and he had to resist himself from smelling it. He remembered Alois' chocolatey scent from his childhood, and although he hated to admit it, he missed it slightly. But things had changed, and they were on separate paths now. Ciel quickly rinsed off the berries in the stream water, then piled them into Alois' purple school shirt, and Alois filled the pan to the brim with stream water. The two slowly made their way back to the campsite, and went back again for another round of water, and returned, to see their group mates waking up.

As they were all waking up, some took some cold water into theirs palms and rinsed their morning faces off, and Ciel got the campfire started with a lighter, William had constructed a fire pit the night before. The water was suspended over, and a filtration system was created to ensure the cleanest water possible. Agni trudged over to his bag and fetched a small pack of cups, and a permanent marker, and neatly wrote everyone's names, and added a smiley face to Soma's. As soon as the water had cooled, the boys all took small, but lasting sips, preserving the water. The boys all munched on the berries, and Ciel was coddled by everyone (except William and Alois) for his finding them. Ciel smoothed out his hair and turned away, a blush on his face, as Alois tried not to laugh at the boy. It seemed that Ciel still had his bashfulness from childhood. Alois smiled, remembering the old days, and shook his head, clearing his mind of all Ciel thoughts. The past was in the past.

The day went on with the boys playing poker and card games, and Soma drawing terribly with Grell's crayons, while mostly everybody tried not to laugh. Maybe the trip wouldn't suck after all.

XxXxXxX

Evening rolled around and the group was starting to get hungry again. This time, it was Agni and William's turn to fetch the food. While Alois teased that they wouldnt be able to handle working together, the two quickly left and returned with two medium sized hares. Everyone cheered as Ciel set the food up over the fire. Choosing to skip dinner, Alois crawled back into his tent and pulled out his journal. If he was just going to sit there, might as well get something done.

Camping Trip

Day 1

Today has been the first full day away from home and on this stupid camping trip. I really don't understand how this ties in to any curriculim at school, but there's no way for me to get back home, so I guess I'm stuck here. Lovely.

Anyways, Ciel and I found a stream and bushes of berries, so that was our miraculously filling breakfast. No need to be jealous, really. Will and Agni brought dinner back a couple minutes ago, but I'm skipping. Doesn't look very appetizing. Maybe when I'm about to starve to death on this stupid assingment I'll finally have a bite. Who knows?

Ciel's getting on my nerves, as usual. I never thought someone's face could tick me off so easily, but yet, seeing him wake up made me want to punch something. I dont know how our relationship got like this, we used to be the best of friends. But seeing him now makes me...angry. I think. I dont know how to describe it. Maybe I'll finally confront him about his easily punchable face.

Stay tuned.

I know it's not a lot, but here's Chapter 2.

I'm having a bit of Writer's Block on this story, so Asami. Clam comes up with a sort of out line for the chapter, and I add and take away what I need to.

If you're liking it so far, make sure to review! That'll make both of us very happy~

Until next time, Darlings!
