Chapter 2 - What To Do? What To Do?
During their first day at camp, Tommy and his friends were to do some activities. They first went to archery, Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Dil were there with their bows and arrows. Chuckie remembered that one time he stuffed up at archery and his arrow had landed in bee hive and the bees stung his face.
"OK Chuckie remember to aim at the red dot, don't look anywhere around the field. OK ready, aim and...fire!" and so they released their arrows and Tommy, Dil and Phil have theirs on the dot all of them except for Chuckie.
"Oh great now where did it go?" sighed Chuckie. Then Tommy looked and saw angry bees heading towards them.
"Not again!" he shouted. "What?" asked Chuckie. "Run!" Tommy shouted and they all ran away as fast as their legs would carry them. "I have to be bad at this dumb game" scolded Chuckie while running, but thankfully the bees didn't sting his face, but they stung his butt and when he sat down it hurt like hell.
"Ouch!" he screeched as he sat on a log. "Nature can be cruel sometimes" he said sadly.
"Not really" said Kimi comforting her brother. Tommy and the others laughed.
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS
They went fishing at the creek, Tommy was worried he looked at the water. He was shaking in fear (because we all know that Tommy have a fear of water). Kimi noticed it and came up to his boyfriend.
"Tommy are you OK?" she asked. "Er..yeah yeah I'm fine" he said trying to hide his fear. "But you were shaking" she said "Is something the matter?" Tommy looked side to side trying to come up with something. "I'm fine Kimi don't get to worried about me" he said frowning.
"I'm only trying to know" she said sadly. Tommy noticed her puppy dog eyes.
"Oh I can't get mad at you" he said and hugged her. "I'll never fight with you ever" he said. "I know you won't" she said happily. "Come on you lovebirds either were going with or without you" shouted Lil. Tommy and Kimi walked over to the wooden boat and as they got in Tommy's eyes bugged right at the water but he's trying to hide it from Kimi. The current was very strong and the water was freezing. While the gang was trying to a safe spot to fish, the current was very strong it bashed and crashed all over the boat and soaked some of the gang. They soon bashed into some rocks and send Tommy flying right into the water!
"Tommy!" they yelled. Tommy was fighting his way out of the water but all he did was swimming around under the water. He then got his head out of the water shouting, "Help!" towards his friends. The boat was jammed and Tommy was can't fight the current anymore he was swimming with his arms bashing the water, they went so fast that Tommy arms were aching.
"You guys go on without me. I'm finished" wheezed Tommy.
"No your not!" said a voice. It was Kimi she dived into the water and swan towards Tommy. She then hugged him and they both went flying down the river.
"Tommy! Kimi!" shouted everyone. "Will find land!" yelled Kimi. Tommy had no breath for answer he was tired. The two lovebirds hugged tightly. Kimi then found a tree branch near some land.
"Hang on Tommy!" she said. "I totally want too" puffed Tommy. She garbed the branch and she pulled Tommy with all her strength to get her and Tommy back to land. With a groan of relief they landed right on the sand. Kimi was then trying to snap her boyfriend out of the trauma.
"Tommy?" she said. "Tommy?" she shouted. She then got a hand full of water and washed it on Tommy's face. Tommy then yelled, "Ah, water!" Kimi sighed with relief.
"Oh thank god, I thought lost you" but Tommy felt more sad. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Kimi, there's something you need to know" Tommy said sadly.
"What is it?" she asked. But Tommy felt to ashamed to tell her, because he was hiding his fear from her.
"Remember when I was shaking like hell back at the camp site?" he asked. "Yeah" she said.
"Well, I do have something to tell you" he said ashamedly, "I have a fear of water" that made Kimi popped eyes with shock.
"Tommy, I didn't know that. When did it happen?" she asked him. Tommy breathed in and out.
"It all started when I was three, I went fishing with my grandpa and we had a great fun. I was playing around with a fish he caught and well I slipped on a rock and fell into the water nearly drowning myself, thank god grandpa saved me. If he didn't I wouldn't be here with you" he said. "And now since that this camp site nearly ruined, I will take you to 'Royal Garden Hotel' just in the next town. The guys are heading back to work soon and we won't until January 30th, so what do you say?" he asked. Kimi hugged him tightly.
"Thank you Tommy. And don't worry your secret is safe with me" she said.
"And Chuckie too" he added. They soon walked away from the shore line in order to help their friends. Meanwhile back at wreckage.
"Alright come on guys, we got to push this boat out" said Phil. "1..2..3..Push!" he shouted and with all their might they tried and tried to push the boat out. But the wood was so rotten that with the pressure they had smashed the boat to smithereens sinking the boat down to the river.
"Great, just great" said Phil angrily. "We're stuck!" Tommy and Kimi soon saw them.
"Guys!" they yelled, they noticed and waved back then they climbed up to them.
"What happened to the boat?" asked Kimi.
"The wood was rotten that it broke apart and sunk" said Chuckie. Just then they heard a really dull and horrid whistle.
"What is that!" said a shocked Tommy. They all saw and Alligator tug named Billy Shoepack puffing through the violent current with a barge load of dynamite.
"Hi-ya fellers up there need of getting back do ya" he said.
"Yes" they all said in confusion.
"Well hop on board, but be careful of the dynamite there. It's dangerous but it makes lovely big bangs!" so the gang climbed down and stayed away from the explosives. They soon arrive at 'Camp Everwood'.
"Here we are everyone, 'Camp Everwood' have fun" he said and laughed. "Bye" and he puffed away.
LATER THAT NIGHT
There was the horrible play and thankfully they weren't in it. Meanwhile the two lovebirds were packing their bags and then later kissed passionately on the bed.
THE NEXT MORNING
Kimi woke up, "Tommy I think breakfast is ready" she yawned. Then she noticed that Tommy was not their next to her, she began to worry. She then saw him cooking breakfast and was in his homemade jumper that grandma Lulu made for him. It was blue with a big yellow T on it.
"Morning sunshine" he said happily. "Whipped you up a little something. It's fish, I caught it this morning" he said. Kimi smiled and sat next to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders near the fire. While the fish was cooked the couple soon ate their breakfast and then the others woke up. They got to go home and get back to their jobs.
"Morning guys" said Tommy.
"Phew Tommy, your breath smells awful what did you have for breakfast" said Chuckie holding his nose.
"Fish" he said.
"Oh" realized Chuckie.
"Well we got our bags sorted last night and can you drop us off Chuckie?" he asked.
"Sure we will" said Chuckie. So later on, the gang left 'Camp Everwood' and dropped them off at the next town called 'Shermanville' a big country town with the 'Royal Garden's Hotel'.
"Here we are you two 'Royal Garden's Hotel' you guys have fun and Pickles, no funny business!" he said sternly. Tommy rolled his eyes.
"I get it" he sighed.
"Good. See ya" he waved and he drove the other way. As the van went out of site, Tommy and Kimi cheered and hugged.
"Finally, just you and me" said Tommy happily. "But there's one thing I need to say" he said.
"What is it?" asked Kimi.
"Your brother can be a big pain in the ass sometimes" he said. Kimi chuckled.
"That's Chuckie, he can be..over the top" she said. They laughed and went inside. They then walked up to the receptionist.
"Hi we got a room for two under the name Pickles?" Tommy asked.
"Ah you must be Mr. and Mrs. Pickles" she said.
"Well he's Mr. Pickles I'm Miss Wattanabe-Finster" said Kimi.
"We haven't got a room for you so we are going to move you to the honey-moon suite" she said.
"Alright" said Tommy and Kimi happily. So they got their keys and they went up to the top floor.
"Well we're not honeymooners yet but at least we get the experience from it first" said Tommy. Kimi chuckled and Tommy kissed her cheek. Inside the walls were pink, the bed was in shape of a love heart and a bottle of champagne was waiting for them in a bucket of ice with a card saying 'Congratulations'. Kimi and Tommy plopped on the bed.
"Well I just got a simple room, didn't know we are getting the honey-moon suite" said Tommy.
"Oh it's not that bad really" said Kimi. "Beside we're a couple" Tommy smiled at that. "Well I'm going a quick shower" she said. "Don't open that champagne yet" she teased. "I won't" said Tommy. And so he yawned and went to sleep.
