"Wake up!" AJ called, hitting Ashley, Kelly, and Maryse in the head with pillows. "Wake up! It's 7:30 and we have to be at breakfast by 8!"
The girls jumped, rushing to change, use the washroom, brush their teeth, and put on their make-up. They made their hair perfect before getting out of their cabins at 8:15.
Maryse took a deep breath. "Fresh damp air gals!"
They walked into Summers Hall, where everybody had already started eating. They took some plates and took servings of eggs, salad, bagels, cheese, and chocolate milk. They took a seat with the boys.
"Took you long enough." Edge complained.
"Sorry! We woke up late." Ashley explained, giving him a peck on the lips.
"Of course." Christian said with a laugh.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Maryse asked.
Christian put his hands up in front of his chest in defense.
"So what's the plans for today?" Kelly asked.
"Well," Chief said, walking up to their table. "You guys are gonna be on dish duty, since the other table did it yesterday. Then we're gonna go do our next activity, then come eat lunch, then paint. After that is free time, then dinner, then a night hike."
"Sounds like a plan." Mike said.
Maryse set the plastic cups in the dishwasher. When it finished, she groaned. "They flew all over the place Chief!"
"That's why you set it in the other dishwasher." Christian said, pulling out a cup that fell in.
"Well sorry!" Maryse said with a pout.
"Wanna help me out?" Mike asked. Maryse nodded, grabbing the wet plates and drying them.
Christian took over dishwashing, Kelly scraped the greasy dishes in the sink, shrieking every time it splashed, Edge and Ashley soaked and rinsed, and AJ swept.
"Alright!" Chief said, whistling to get everyone's attention. "Time to go do our activity!"
Everyone got on their sneakers and started going to the next area for their activity. When they got there, it was like a spiderweb, but made of ropes, and standing.
"Okay, the object of this activity is to try and get throw one of the openings, and you can only go in one opening once. If you touch the rope, to must restart." Chief explained.
Punk and Edge went through the four large openings on the bottom. John scraped his knee on purpose, standing aside. Randy, and Mike went through the second layer of and Zack helped get Kaitlyn, Alicia, Layla, and Maryse in the third bottom layer of openings.
There was only one more left, and it was as high as Christian's neck, although it was pretty large. Christian and Zack lifted Kelly, and pushed the petite blonde through the opening. Randy, Mike, Edge, and Punk help on the other side.
Kelly made it through the hole, the boys setting her down. Kelly ran to Maryse, a large smile on her face. "That was so much fun!"
Christian and Zack went through the last two remaining openings on the second layer from the bottom.
"We win!" Kaitlyn cheered, high-fiving Alicia and Layla.
"Okay, okay." Chief said, handing them all a piece of gum. "That's your reward."
"Gee... Thanks..." Kaitlyn said with a eye-roll.
"Mmm, mint!" Punk said, chewing happily.
Lunch was grilled cheese, soup, and water.
The gang goofed around at the table, cracking jokes. When they were going to paint, they walked down to the river. There stood a man, waiting for them.
"Hello, my name is Kevin. I'm going to be your painting instructor. All I want from you today is to paint what you see, and have fun with it with water colours. Remember, you don't always have to make it perfect. If your water colour flows off the lines, that's what you want." Kevin said. "Okay, now you may start sketching."
Kelly grabbed a board and paper. She found a pencil and started her drawing of the hills behind the river. Christian walked past her, unable to help but look at her paper so far.
"Wow, you're really talented." He said, taking a closer look.
Kelly shrugged. "Nothing special. Especially compared to yours."
Christian grinned. "Thanks, but I took lessons when I was a kid."
"Really?" Kelly asked, fascinated. "I never knew that!"
Christian chuckled. "Well it's not a big deal. If I taught you a bit, you'd be a million times better than me."
Kelly mock gasped. "I could never surpass the Captain!"
Christian laughed. "Then be my second in command."
Kelly smirked. "I'll think about it."
"Come get your paint!" Kevin called.
The paintings all turned out beautiful, especially Christian's.
"What're we gonna do?" Maryse asked, flopping down on her mat.
"I brought my nail polish, anyone wanna do nails?" Kelly asked.
"Do you have black?" Ashley asked.
"Yupp."
"I'm in."
"Too girly for me, thank you." AJ said, sticking out her tongue.
Maryse jumped. "Okay, I can do Ashley and Kelly's nails!"
By the time they'd finished, Ashley had majestic black, and Kelly had pink nails with flower designs in the corner of each nail.
There was a knock on the door, and AJ opened it.
"Hey girls, just wanted to let you know Dinner will be ready in 10 minutes." Mike said, barging in.
"Hey, wanna get your nails done?" Kelly asked.
"What?" Mike asked raising a brow. "Of course!"
Maryse laughed, patting next to her on her bunk.
"This'll probably be the closest I'll ever get to you in a bed." Mike joked. Maryse's jaw dropped, and the three other girls burst into a fit of laughter. Maryse slapped Mike's arm.
"I am going to make your nails terrible!" She joked.
Ashley put a blindfold on Mike, and when he opened his eyes and took a look, he had rainbow nails, with pink at the tips.
"This. Is. Beautiful." Mike said, hugging Maryse. Maryse smiled and hugged him back. Mike pulled away, walking up to the other girls and teasingly whispering, "I hope you have nail polish remover."
After dinner, the sky turned dark blue. Chief led the way through the fields. They walked single file, keeping extremely quiet in case there was an animal around.
Kelly couldn't see anything in the darkness, so she grabbed onto someone's arm. She heard the person whisper, "Why are you grabbing my arm?" And she gripped Christian's arm tighter.
"I can't see anything." She said in a hushed tone.
"I'll lead the way..."
Maryse walked at the very back. Mike tapped her shoulder, and she turned her head.
"I want to ask you something," Mike said, a serious look on his face. Maryse got a little worried.
"What's up? You're rarely ever serious..."
Mike smiled. "Wanna be a rebel?"
Maryse raised a brow, nearly tripping over a rock in her path. "Depends."
Mike pulled her elbow, making the two stop walking. "Meet me at the river at three in the morning. And bring something to swim in."
Maryse gasped. "No way! How will I know you'll be there?"
Mike smiled. "Have I ever let you down?" Maryse shook her head. "Then you know I will be there."
Once the group had reached the cabins, Ashley, Kelly, and AJ happily laughed their way in the cabin, changing into their PJ's. Maryse walked in slowly, her heart beating loudly and her head feeling light. She closed the door, pressing her back against it. She bit her lip with a smile.
"What's up with you?" Ashley asked, throwing a pillow at Maryse.
Maryse looked up shrieking in happiness. "Mike might ask me out tonight!"
"Too late, it's lights out." AJ said.
Maryse looked at them, and they all made an O with their mouths, understanding the situation.
"He told me to meet him at the river in three in the morning. I'm scared guys! Can you make sure to stay up until then, and come check up on us?" Maryse asked.
"Of course babe!" Kelly said, wrapping an arm around her arm around Maryse's shoulders.
Maryse took a deep breath. She had on her bathing suit, and over it she had a long jacket. She opened her door, flinching at every noise made. She closed the door behind her, making a dash to the river. She didn't stop until she reached the river.
She looked around, not seeing Mike. "Mike? Mike!" She whisper-yelled.
Something covered her eyes, making her shriek, which was cut short by a hand covering her mouth. The person took their hand off her mouth and eyes. Maryse sighed in relief, seeing it's only Mike.
Mike laughed, and Maryse hit his shoulder. "I hate you!" She whispered, hitting him again.
"Oh, well, that sicks. I was gonna ask you to go out with me, but I guess you hate me." Mike said with a simple shrug.
Maryse pouted. "No! I wanna go out with you, but I hate you right now for doing that!"
Mike got down and searched for something, pulling it out of the ground. "I'm sorry," He said, handing her a flower. "Will you, Maryse Ouellet, go out with me?"
It was all like a movie. The setting was perfect. The moon's reflection in the river reflected in Mike's eyes, and he had his cute little boy grin on. Maryse nodded.
"Yes, I will."
Mike grinned wider. "Care to join me for a swim?"
They jumped into the water together. Mike laughed at Maryse's struggle with the deep water. He took her hand and led her around the river.
After a while of swimming, Mike stopped, looking at Maryse with a intense look. Maryse looked up into his burning eyes.
He pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her waist and placing his lips on hers. SHe returned the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. They continued, getting heater and heater, until a rustle made Maryse pull away.
"Did you hear that?" She asked, tightening her grip on Mike.
"Yeah, let's go back to the cabins..." Mike said, pulling Maryse out of the water. The two never loosened their grip, and didn't even care to put their jackets on. The walked to the cabins in a hurry, in bathing suits only.
There were more noises coming behind them, and Maryse felt her heart beat in her throat. Then she realized, it had to be the girls!
"Go lock your cabin." Mike whispered in her ear when they reached the campsite.
"Goodnight," Maryse said, kissing his cheek.
"It was." Mike said with a smile, going to his own cabin.
Maryse rushed to her cabin, locking it behind her. She turned on her flashlight, seeing that her roommates were all sound a sleep.
Maryse felt light headed, pulling on her PJ's and T-Shirt over her bikini before slipping into her sleeping bag and trying to sleep.
Woo this took a while. And I have to admit I hit a few roadblocks, but I hope it wasn't all bad at the end. xD I even got creeped out... =S Read and Review!
