Night time had fallen on the camp grounds. Everyone was in their cabins sleeping. Except Andi, Buffy, and Riley and Maya. Everyone was awake because a smiling Andi said, "Girls. Come on. Lets go to the beach and look up at the stars." An excited Maya said, "You want us to sneak out of our cabins in the middle of the night and break the rules? Count me in." A concerned Riley said, "A sneaking out adventure that starts at ten!?" Andi then said, "Well you don't have to come. But if we get hurt, they'll be no one with first aid training to help us." Riley sighed and said, "All right. I'll come."
Awhile later, the four girls were sitting on the beach looking up at the stars. A smiling Maya said, "Wow. Just look at the sky. You never get a view like this in New York." The four remained silent for awhile. Buffy then looked at Andi and said, "Andi... why have you been so different this week?" A confused Andi said, "What do you mean?" Buffy then said, "Lets be honest. I've had some trouble this week. But it's the kind of trouble I always have. But you... you've been trying to act more... I don't know... dominating this week. You've always been a bit more moody but it'se been a different kind of moody. Usually when boy troubles happen, you want to curl up and hide from them. But this week... you didn't care Jonah was getting close to other girls, you tried showing your topless body to a guy you barely know... what's been going on with you?" A concerned Maya then looked at Riley and said, "Yeah Riley. You've been a bit off this week too. You've had a thing for Lucas ever since you met him, but started dwelling on going out with Jonah real quickly. What's going on with you?"
Both Andi and Riley sighed. Andi then said, "I guess... I've been getting tired of being the timid little girl whose had her life thrown out of whack. I mean ever since I learned Bex was my mom, I feel like I've had no control over any of the changes happening to me." Maya then said, "It's called puberty." An upset Andi said, "Not those kind of changes. I mean... my entire family has changed, where I live has changed, my feelings towards boys has changed, and... I just wanted to try changing my life the way I wanted to. Not the way others were forcing me to." Riley then said, "I guess I know how you feel Andi. I mean, I don't have as much drama as you have. But the direction of my life has always been controlled by my family. And sometimes I just wanna go in a direction not being guided by them, so I can find my true self." Andi sighed and then said, "But in the end we always end up back on the path they want us on." Then Buffy said, "But why is that so bad? Riley, your dad is amazingly smart. And Andi, your mom is so amazingly cool. I mean she's made mistakes, but she's learning. And you have the chance to learn with her." Maya then said, "None of us have perfect parents, but when it comes to the ones that raised us, maybe it's not so bad that we turn out the way they want us too." Then Andi said, "Yeah... but of course we'll never admit this to them." The four girls all laughed. Then Riley jumped up and said, "But we're still young. I think that means we're still allowed to do something really crazy." A curious Andi said, "Like what?" Then Riley said, "Well Andi, taking off your clothes in front of Lucas may not have been smart. But how about now?" Andi laughed as she said, "Oh my gosh. Are you saying we should skinny dip?" Riley then took off her shirt as she said, "Yes, I am." Maya laughed as she took off her own shirt and said, "Oh my gosh Riley. Are you sure you haven't gone insane?" As Riley took off her underwear she said, "Maybe you've just rubbed off on me." Then as Buffy pulled off her bra she said, "Or maybe we should just have some fun." The four girls giggled as they took off the rest of their clothes. Then the four girls then ran towards the water completely naked as a fun evening of skinny dipping began.
