The land of the truth, home of the stupid
"AHHHH!" Jenny screamed as she jumped up her eyes snapping open from her sleep.
Nate looked at her yawning "What was it?" he asked her as he noticed that she was sweating and breathing heavily.
"A spider just crawled across my face" Jenny said breathing in and out quickly.
Nate looked at her "You screamed because a spider ran across your face?" he asked rubbing his eyes, he was extremely tired.
Jenny looked at him "It could have gone in my mouth" Jenny said folding her arms.
Nate patted her arm "Okay calm down, it's gone now and your fine" he said softly changing tact a little bit to calm her down.
Jenny sighed "I really hate the woods" she muttered.
He yawned "Don't we all" he replied squeezing her hand. He looked at her face and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Jenny asked touching her face and hair.
"You have candy in your hair" he explained leaning forward and pulling it out of her hair. "How did you fall asleep in a marshmallow?" he asked smirking at her.
Jenny laughed too she had woken up in the night and she had been hungry marshmallows were the first thing she had found.
Neither of them had noticed that Nate's hand was still in Jenny's hair, he looked at her carefully and he leant closer.
"Morning guys" Serena shouted as she unzipped the tent and smiled at them. "Ready for some out door adventure?" she asked in an overexcited voice.
Nate had already jumped back from Jenny and was now practically out of the tent he had moved so far away.
Jenny grimaced at Serena "Sure can't wait" she said sarcastically sticking her thumbs up.
"Hey it might be fun" Serena said.
"Yeh right" Jenny muttered as she fiddled with her pyjama bottoms.
Nate piped up "You never know it might be" he said lamely.
Serena looked from Jenny and Nate, there was definitely a weird atmosphere going on in here.
"Okay then, see you in a bit guys" she said waving at them.
Serena closed their tent back up and looked over at Chuck and Blair's tent; it was time to wake them up as well.
She quietly pulled the tent open and looked in Blair and Chuck were sharing one sleeping back and facing one another Chuck's arm firmly placed over Blair. Serena had never actually seen Chuck Bass look so sweet, and she doubted that she ever would again.
Dan came up next to her and looked at her "What are you do…" he looked at Chuck and Blair. "Wow they actually look kind of… cute" Dan said as he stared at them. "How come they are sharing a sleeping bag?" he asked her.
"I think they are like seeing each other or something" Serena replied "I don't really know Blair hasn't told me" she mumbled, she was actually kind of annoyed that Blair had lied to her about it and she wanted to know why.
Dan looked back at her "Oh okay, should we wake them up?" he asked.
Serena nodded "Sure" she replied "CHUCK, BLAIR GET UP, GET UP, GET UP!" she shouted clapping her hands at them.
Blair's eyes snapped open "What?" she mumbled tiredly.
Chuck noticed the sudden movement in the sleeping bag "Huh?" he said opening his eyes in confusion.
"Serena this isn't what it looks like" Blair said quickly moving Chuck's arm from around her and sitting up.
Serena folded her arms and raised her eyebrows "Oh really, and you two paying lip service to one another the other day wasn't what it looked like the other day then huh?" Serena asked staring at her best friend.
Blair looked down at her lap in a shameful manner "Oh" she muttered.
Serena looked at her "Oh indeed Blair" she replied "I guess I'll see you later" Serena said as she spun around and stormed off.
Dan stood there for a second longer "Um bye then" he said quietly to Chuck and Blair.
"Yes bye bye Humphrey" Chuck said waving him off.
Chuck looked at Blair "Look Blair she'll get over it, she always does" Chuck said offering his words as some kind of sympathy.
Blair looked at him "You don't get it, she was angry with me. We're supposed to tell each other everything" she explained, she and Serena were supposed to be best friends.
Chuck looked at her "Oh yes and I wouldn't understand lying to my best friend. Blair you are the one who wanted this to be all secret so you can't actually blame me for this" he said getting out of the sleeping bag and grabbing some of his stuff as he stormed out of the tent.
Blair ran a hand through her hair, great so both Serena and Chuck were mad at her now.

Chuck was currently ignoring Blair and talking to Nate who actually seemed to be off in his own world.
"Nate are you even listening to me?" he asked as Nate stared off into the distance.
Nate looked at him "Were you speaking?" he asked.
Chuck rolled his eyes "Never mind" he muttered looking to where Nate had been looking previously. Jenny Humphrey was sat reading a book on a log opposite them.
Chuck raised an eyebrow "Have you got a thing for Little Jenny Humphrey?" Chuck asked laughing in disbelief.
Nate looked up "What? No" he said rather unconvincingly as he looked at Jenny again.
Chuck smirked "Well she is hot Nate, that's true enough. She's a tad on the young side though isn't she?" he asked eyeing Jenny up.
Nate snorted "That didn't stop you from trying to have sex with her did it?" he pointed out.
"True, but I am just Chuck Bass" he replied.
Nate nodded "That is true, but its not like all I want to do is to you know have sex with her, I just like her a lot" Nate explained.
"You are so gay Nathaniel" Chuck said smiling. "But I have to admit relationships may not be so bad" he added thinking about Blair, if he was ever going to go steady as it were Blair would be the girl to do it with.
Nate looked at Chuck carefully "Chuck Bass wants a relationship. I never thought I would see the day. Who's the lucky girl?" Nate asked him.
Chuck opened his mouth slowly considering whether or not to tell him but was stopped by Blair's sudden appearance "Chuck can I talk to you for a second?" she asked him.
Chuck gave her a look "Sure I guess, whatever" he replied "I'll talk to you later Nate" he said nodding at his friend.
"Yeh see you later" Nate said.
***
Dan had noticed that his sister was sat alone so he decided that would offer her some company as Serena was in an awful mood.
"Hey sis how's it going?" he asked her sitting next to her.
Jenny closed her book "Pretty good thanks, how's your head?" she asked him grinning at him.
Dan grimaced "Not great, I don't think I should ever go to Chuck Bass for advice again"
Jenny smiled "Wow state the obvious much, of course you don't take relationship advice from Chuck. You should come to me, I am Yoda" she replied laughing.
Dan laughed as well "Serena thinks I'm boring" he said.
"Oh, well I'm sure she doesn't really think that" Jenny said.
"She told me that she did" he told her.
"Dan she's dating you she probably just thinks that you being a bit boring is endearing" Jenny said "Besides she obviously didn't like you drunk, so just be who you are. I know it's cheesy but it's true" Jenny told him.
Dan sighed "You're right" he replied.
"I always am" Jenny said grinning at him "What's up with Serena anyway?" Jenny asked intrigued by Serena's black mood.
Dan shrugged "Blair drama" he replied not really wanting to explain the Blair and Chuck love dilemmas or whatever was happening.
Jenny nodded she knew all about Blair drama "Oh okay then" she said not really caring enough to pry.

Nate tapped lightly on the side of Blair's tent, he needed advice and she was really the only one that he could ask.
"Come in" she called from inside. "Oh hey Nate" she said slightly surprised by him appearing her tent.
"Hey" he replied a little awkwardly as went in a sat down.
"What's up?" she asked him she recognised his facial expression he wanted to talk about something.
"Nothing really, I just wanted your advice on something" he explained.
Blair nodded "Okay shoot" she replied. It was a little bit awkward with Nate they had only broken up properly about a week ago. But since neither of them were missing each other it didn't seem like that much of a big deal.
"Well I have like romantic problem" he said quietly.
Blair smiled "You like Jenny right?" she asked him, his head snapped up.
"Is it that obvious?" he asked her, a slight red tinge to his cheeks.
"I only know because I know you really well" Blair informed him.
Nate nodded "Right well, I'm not sure what I should do about it" he admitted.
Blair smiled again "You should tell her" Blair stated without thinking about it.
"Really? I mean she's been acting kind of funny yesterday and today, I'm not sure how she'd react" Nate told her.
Blair nodded and bit her lip "Oh well that might actually be mine and Serena's fault" she said looking at her lap.
Nate's brow furrowed slightly "How do you mean?" he asked confusion flooding his head.
"Well when we were hanging out me and Serena might have told Jenny that you might like her" Blair explained slowly.
Nate opened his mouth "Oh. But why is she angry with me?" he asked still not getting it.
"She's probably not angry with you, she's probably just thinking" Blair replied.
"Oh right" He said.
Blair patted his hand "Don't worry I'm sure that it'll be fine once you tell her. I think she probably likes you too"
"I kind of thought you'd be mad" Nate said.
Blair chuckled "Mm, I only get angry when you like the girl when you are still dating me" she told him grinning at him.
Nate smiled "I'll keep that in mind" he replied "Thanks Blair"
"No problem" she replied hugging him. "We should really try and be friends you know. I miss talking to you" she told him
Nate nodded "I miss talking to you too" he replied pulling away.
"Hey guys dinners ready" Jenny said as she entered the tent she looked at them carefully surprised to find Nate in there.
"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt" she said softly. Now she knew what Dan had meant earlier by Blair drama she and Nate were evidently making up.
"Ladies and Gents gather round. I want you all to get into your pairs and prepare yourselves for a scavenger hunt" Mr Johnson said excitement evident in his voice. He handed each pair a map "That's your map to help you. Have fun everybody!" he said.
They all looked at each other fun didn't exactly seem top of the agenda with this activity. They were just going to have to make the best of it.
