A/N: I hope you enjoy!

Elizaveta was not normally a morning person, but once every week in the summer, she was up and dressed on time. It was her day to wake up the campers. Oh how she loved to hear their moans of anguish and calls of five more minutes. Unit 10 was always the most fun. They were always the most angry. Last year one kid came out and threw a roll of Duct Tape at her. But the overall best part of the whole deal, was that you woke them up with an obnoxious song. It was now 7:15, Wake up time for Unit 10, not only were they the most fun to wake, they also needed the most time to get ready. She had just arrived in the "plaza" of Aintree. She coughed loudly, preparing her voice, and then it began:

Way up in the sky the big birds do fly ~

But down in the nest, the little birds rest ~

With a wing on the left, and a wing on the right ~

The little birds sleep all through the night ~

Shhhhhh! THEY'RE SLEEPING!

The sun in the sky, the dew drops do fall ~

The little birds wake, Good morning, ~

Good morning, the little birds say ~

I open my eyes and roll out of bed ~

I open the window and smash that bird's head!

Oh how wonderfully violent camp songs are… She stood smiling listening to all of the swear words, whether in english or not. A job well done… She turned and left, heading for the next cabins.

Twenty minutes later, she was sitting down to breakfast. Aw... Tuesday… Waffle Day… She sighed, dipping a bite of the delicious creations into syrup. Just as she was about to shove it in her mouth, Mary spoke.

"Good Morning Campers!" She set her fork down and began the usual return.

"Good Morning Miss Mary!" The elder woman nodded in approval.

"We have a few things to discuss before we begin today's activities." She took a deep breath steadying herself.

"Today waterfront is closed, do to an algae bloom." There was a chorus of groans and boos. "Hush now… Another thing, today at 12:00, we are going to start our long awaited Gaga ball tournament."

There was a huge cheer for that one. Elizaveta felt a slight blush creep across her cheeks as a warm hand slipped into hers under the table.

Mary waited until the quiet fell once more. "Two more things, first Amelia would like it noted that if you have any fun requests for future meals, she is always open for suggestions. Second, is that everything will be pushed back 30 minutes today, on the count, that there will be a Councillor meeting after breakfast. That means Unit 10 will be in charge of games for a little while. Now back to our breakfasts." Instantly whispers started.

"Why is there a meeting?" Feliciana asked.

"They only call those when something really bad happens." Alfred whispered. Gilbert squeezed Elizaveta's hand.

30 minutes later, they were following Mary to a shed near Lockbrea.

"This is why I called the meeting." She gestured to the side of the shed. There hung a tattered shirt, cut up and slightly burned, that read "Haleakala" with a mountain made of the word Maui.

"Hey that's my shirt!"

She watched as Alfred pushed his way to the front, Arthur close behind. "Is that…" Alfred swallowed.

"Yeah, It's that shirt." Arthur patted his shoulder. Next to the shirt, a message had been written.

"Beware; We Rise Like the Sun"

In a sticky substance that looked a lot like blood.

zZzZzZzZzZzZz

Feliciana was happy, not that she wasn't always happy, today had a special kind of happiness. It was a mix of genuine-Feliciana-specialty happiness, Forced-sad-day happiness and a little bit of hide-the-fear-cover-the-anxiety happiness. Right now she was smiling like always, genuinely happy, while Elizaveta told a story. She laughed, feeling the sun on her face and the soft summer breezes ruffling her hair, the way her grandpa used to. The light grew shadowy, so she opened her eyes, only to find that they had started on the foresty part of the path to the Barn. The Barn was where Archery was shot at Camp Clearwater. It took 15 minutes to get there from the dining hall alone, so it was good that Elizaveta was in charge of timekeeping. They marched past the Cranbrook cabins, stopping to say hi to Units 3 and 4, who were out playing Bullrush.

There was laughing and running and playing. Feliciana loved camp. There was so much real happiness, time outdoors and generally, the kids were great. She loved how close everyone got by the end of the summer. How the lake always smelled like rain and dust. How cozy the cabins were. The fact that Amelia could make one Inferno di pasta. How people never seemed to change, Alfred was still a child, Antonio was still head over heels with Lovina, how Elizaveta and Gilbert had their "thing", how Sakura was still a closet perv, Heracles still took random naps and quoted Plato, and how Ludwig was still, well Ludwig. It was that last thought, combined with the fact that she always squinted, that had her lying on the ground.

Elizaveta helped her up and brushed her off before looking her up and down. "Oh no! You have a cut on your knee." Feliciana giggled.

"It's fine! We're almost there, we can fix me up when we get there. Ve~" It was true, the turn off was only a few meters away.

Once all of the teens were situated (Feli and Eliza had Unit 9, the 15 YOs), Elizaveta pulled out her first-aid kit and cleaned and bandaged the cut. As it turns out, they had arrived before Unit 5. So they decided to play Mafia and about four seconds into it, they were interrupted. "Hallo losers! The most awesome Unit is here!" Came a loud proclamation from the entrance path and there in all there Germanic glory, were the Beilschmidt brothers, surrounded by 9,10 and 11 year olds. Feliciana got up, waltzed over and hugged a heavily blushing Ludwig. Gilbert laughed loudly and threw an arm around Elizaveta, and she did not look amused. "Gilbert you are 10 minutes late." The albino laughed.

"Ja, Sorry about that, we got held up because Ezra had an Asthma attack…" A blonde boy coughed and gripped tightly to an inhaler.

Ten minutes later everyone was sitting on the bench, in front of the range, listening to the safety rules of a woman affectionately called Songbird. "Now, we are down a little bit low on time. So I will have a quick volunteer." Hands popped up like mushrooms after a rain storm. She scanned down the line, until she reached Feliciana.

"Ah Feli… Want to demonstrate?"

Feliciana jumped up. "I would love to! Ve, I haven't practiced in a while." She looked down. The older woman laughed.

"It's fine! Pick up your bow!"

She skipped over to the bow rack and picked up a pink compound bow. She went to the line and waited for instructions. After 5 minutes, she was given the OK to loose her arrows. She aimed, closed her eyes and shot.

Five arrows later, Songbird was patting her on the back.

"Out of practice? Ha!" All of the arrows were inside the inner yellow circle. A perfect bullseye. A perfect 50. Jaws dropped, one Germans especially.

She bowed. "This is a national champion in front of you!"

Feliciana blushed and smiled, handing Songbird her bow, before sitting next to Ludwig. He leaned over to her.

"Can you teach me?" He whispered blushing.

"Huh?"

"Can you teach me how to shoot?" His blush darkening.

"Si" Feliciana smiled.

Madeline was scared. The note this morning had shaken her, along with the fact, that they seemed to be targeting Alfred. Everyone loves Alfred. She was sitting at a picnic table, staring at the roof, while contemplating the day's events. Two people sat on the bench one on either side.

"Hey are you okay?" One girl asked poking her face.

"Stop it, that's not helping any!" An other girl said.

Madeline looked down to see Maddie and Abby. "Is there anything I can help you with, eh?" The girls shook their heads.

"Uh… Nooooo, we just came to see if you were alright." Maddie said.

"Also, that after you got the fire started we finished everything." Abby remarked.

Madeline looked up to find, that all the tables had been beautifully done. The centerpieces were on point. All the dishes were set out in a cruise ship manor, food was done and set out with scoops. Dish station was done, complete with hot water. All of the kids were mulling around, it appeared that they had started a game of frogger. Madeline blushed heavily, she hadn't even been watching, stuck in her own personal cloud, all the while her campers had done all the work. The spot where she had been sitting was set as well, with her own dishes. She stood.

"Hey guys! Lunch is up! Bubble Royalty first!" Caleb, Per, Niamh, Helen and Tatsuhiko lined up and go their food.

Once they had all settled down to eat, Madeline had moved from the table, to make more room. She leaned against a pole eating GS Gumbo.

She took a deep breath. "Hey guys, I'm really sorry, I was kind of spacey today…" One girl laughed.

"It's fine, most of us are older siblings, if not, I am a councillor at a Girl Scout camp. It's fine, I don't think anyone really minds." There was shaking heads and nopes and nos. Madeline smiled brightly.

"So what are we doing this afternoon?" Marco took out his phone and scrolled to the calendar.

"We had waterfront today, but since that's not happening, we only have Gaga ball on the docket." Maddie spoke up next.

"I say we play, like a four hour game of Mafia!" There was cheers all around.

"Okay, pause, can someone explain what Gaga ball and mafia is?" Jaws dropped, Lexie started crying, only to be comforted by Phoenix.

"You don't know how to play?" Scott asked. She shook her head.

Bernardo stood up on the bench. "Eat faster! We must clean and break camp so we can school her!"

Eating began to happen very quickly.

20 minutes later, they all stood around a wooden corral looking pit. Everyone hopped in. Madeline followed cautiously.

"Okay, the rules of the game are if the ball hits you between the knee and ankle, you're out. Open handed hit only, and use the sides! Jumping is allowed. Yi! Er! San! Kaishi!"

Shouted Helen before putting the ball in play. There was much jumping, springing, yelling, running and hitting. 10 minutes later, the face off began. There were three people left. Madeline, Sammy and Caleb. Madeline was distracted by the fact that Kate was trying to strangle Helen. BAM! She was hit, and hit hard. She slowly climbed over the fence and watched the two boys circle around each other. It lasted all of two more minutes as Niamh giggled catching Caleb's attention, for just enough time. Sammy was victorious. She laughed and patted him on the back.

"Do I get a kiss?" He asked sweetly.

"In your dreams pretty boy…" Madeline stated squishing his face. She let go and turned to the crowd.

"Are ready to take on another Unit?!" There was cheering and whooping.

"I can't hear you!" Louder this time. "Let's go!" They marched off excitedly towards the mess hall, chattering loudly. It made her smile. This was what she loved about camp, the fact that everyone wanted to be there and no one was ever wanted to leave. Her smile faded for a moment.

She doesn't deserve to be missed…

The smile was back, but a little smaller this time.

zZzZzZzZzZzZz

To say that little kids didn't love horses would be stupid. To say Antonio didn't, you'd have to be on drugs. They were strong, beautiful, wild, free, big, small, caring, fast, and he loved it. He loved the way their manes flowed in the wind, their hooves beat the ground, but most of all, he loved the way each one was different, a personality of their own, that always seemed to shine. Antonio smiled. At that moment he was leaning on a post, watching the new mare prance back and forth. Swinging its head and shying away when he reached out. The sun was high in the sky, making the back of his neck damp with sweat.

Shade would be nice…

He wandered over to the barn, making sure to slip in quietly. Alfred stood at the front of the teaching area. All of the kids watched eagerly, clearly excited to get out of the building and onto a horse. Alfred noticed Antonio and waved him up. The spaniard walked to the front of the room, where Alfred immediately positioned him. Antonio took a second to pose like a model.

"Is he ready to ride?" The kids looked at him for less than a second before saying no.

"Why? Raise your hands."

A boy, named Pierce, raised his hand. Alfred pointed to him. "He is not wearing a helmet, his shoes do not have heals and he doesn't have jeans on." Alfred nodded and gave the boy a thumbs up.

"Yep all of those are correct. Jeans are best for riding because they are thick and not silky, but you can use any pants, as long as they are not silk, or slippery work out pants." There were no more hands and Alfred laughed.

"Does anyone have any questions?" No one raised a hand, but they all began to stand up.

"Okay come get a pair of boots and a helmet." Everyone jumped up and there was a babble of excitement. Antonio helps put on gear and leads the kids out the the horses. Once everyone one is saddled up, Alfred led him to his own horse.

"Ah, Conquistador. It has been a while mi amigo." The Andalusian flicked its tail. It has already been saddled. Antonio gives Alfred a nod before mounting the large horse. Alfred pats its rear before hopping on his horse and leading the train into the woods.

Into the sunset….

45 minutes later, he was standing by the corral once more. Alfred had not so subtly hinted he would like some time with the kids. Antonio hadn't got it, so Alfred had politely told him to go away. So there he stood, watching as Checkmate, wandered around her enclosure. He was enjoying the peace, until a smaller person joined him leaning on the corall.

"I don't get why you can just watch the cavallo cazzo prance around, like some kind of retarded butterfly." She looked at him as though she could burn a hole through his face just by staring.

He whipped around and scooped her up in a bear hug. "Ah mi Tomate! Have you come to join me?" She smacked his shoulder.

"Set me down Tomato Bastard!" He set her down, but continued hugging her.

"It's hot, let go!" He stopped hugging her, but rested an arm over her shoulders.

"Ug, fine…" He could see her light blush and snickered. "Damn Tomato bastard!" He chuckled.

So cute… She looks just like a tomato when she is angry…

"Stop it! I just came to invite you to go stargazing with Unit 9 and 10 tonight, but I knew was a bad Idea!" She began to wiggle out from under his arm, muttering something like. "Damn Chun-Yan forcing me to ask him…"

Antonio grabbed just as she was stomping away. "When and where?" She looked up at him, blush taking over her angered flushing.

"10:00 in the adventure course meadow. And don't get your hopes up! It's not a date."

With that she ran away, as though it would help hide her flaming blush.

Not a date… Hm…

Antonio smiled.

zZzZzZzZzZzZz

It was a special night. Chun-Yan was excited. Tonight was the first time she would get to spend time with her siblings. She had prepared a picnic, sort of. It had moon cakes, chocolate cupcakes, White Rabbit and spring rolls. She had set her blanket out on the basketball court after tucking Unit 12, as Ivan and the kids had decided to call it. Then she invited all the councillors and the two oldest units. It was 9:45 and people were beginning to arrive. The first ones were Arthur and Ludwig, who are always religiously on time. Followed by Unit 10, who was being led by the Vargas twins and Elizaveta. They all sat down, she watched her Unit as they fought and spazzed. She sighed. Kids were fun. Her siblings weren't so little any more. She looked up at the stars as a large hand was lain on her shoulder.

It was Thai. He sat down and smiled, looking up at the stars. "This was a good idea Jie Jie." Chun-Yan laughed at the use of Mandarin and laid down.

"It's good to see you Thai," She stopped as he laid down, letting him get comfortable.

"How is Unit 9 treating you?"

He laughed and smiled. "We make up half the Unit ana~"

Chun-Yan smiled, before sitting up again. "Hey have you seen any of the others?" Thai shook his head.

"Well, I know that Im-Soo is coming with Leon, and Tomas. Nam is already here." He pointed to a girl with a long ponytail and green t-shirt, talking with Sakura.

"Where is Mei?" Chun-Yan asked. Thai frowned at that.

"She said she would be late ana~, that she had something to attend to." Chun-Yan's eyebrows scrunched together.

Thai reached an arm up and patted her head with a lazy smile. "I'm sure she will be here soon." She relaxed a little bit and laid back down. Soon she felt the ground shake and heard yelling along with the sound of someone being smacked.
"Puta que pariu Im -Soo! Can you stop gropping people. It is rude!" Chun-Yan sat up instantly.

"Im-Soo we talked about this!"

"Eonni!" He glomped her.

"Off! OFF!" She pushed his head back.

"Get off! If you want food, that's what you'll do."

He got off instantly and began digging through the basket. Chun-Yan sighed. At least he stopped groping me...

After eating all but one cupcake, which they saved for Mei. They all laid down and stared at the sky, as if looking and being together, could discover the secrets of the universe. It was quiet for about 15 minutes.

Chun-Yan had been walking back from the bathroom, when she saw a car pull up and Mei get out. The younger asian girl began to jog towards the meadow. She wasn't paying attention and crashed into Chun-Yan.

"Oh…"

She looked up and saw that it was Chun-Yan, gasping and then hugging enthusiastically. The moon was a sliver, but the stars were bright and as the girl hugged her, she noticed bruises on her neck, bruises, not hickies. Mei's arms were slightly uncovered, due to hugging the elder around the neck. Bruises there too. Her eyes hardened and she held back a snarl. Mei pushed back upon feeling her sister stiffen.

"Everything alright?" She asked golden eyes glowing in the star light.

Chun-Yan forced a smile. "Dui… Let us go see our family and watch the stars."

They wandered towards the meadow. Nam hugged her and Im-Soo begged for a bite of her cupcake. Mei laughed and all the previous haunted look in the golden orbs disappeared, at the sight of the first shooting star. Chun-Yan laughed and smiled, but they were both hard as stones, no life or love and only one person seemed to notice. She saw how Ivan watched her, purple orbs scanning her. She turned away. This was her problem, not his, nothing hurt her family and got away with it.

Nothing…. No One….

zZzZzZzZzZzZz

Again they watched from near by. They saw how Ivan looked at Chun-Yan, The way Alfred Gazed at Madeline in wonder, The way Francis is never wandered too far away from Arthur. They looked at each other. Phase two took a while to set up. They both nodded. Preparation for Phase two begins tonight…
