Chapter 4: Camp Activities

Later, the group, which was now joined by Chance and Bean, was taking a hike through a ravine. Almost everyone was walking slowly because they were worn out, but Peter, Patcha, Kronk, Jim, Long John Silver, Scroop, Sulley, Kenai, Denahi, Sitka, Nigel, Danny, Tak, Chance, and Bean still had energy in them. After awhile, Kimi and Lil rested by a large boulder to catch their breath.

"Hiking bites." Lil said wearily.

"You said it." Kimi said wearily.

Peter walked over to them.

"Oh, it's not so bad, girls. It's just a healthy little stroll." Peter said.

Kimi grunted as she stood up straight.

"Well, my legs feel like pudding. Your endurance amazes me, Peter." Kimi replied.

Peter smirked.

"Should I carry you, then?" Peter asked.

Lil held out her arms.

"You can carry me! No, seriously! I would really be okay with you carrying me!" Lil replied.

Just then, Chance and Bean walked up to them.

"You girls want to rest?" Chance asked with a glare.

Lil and Kimi looked over at Bean, who was smiling lightly, and they tried to look their best.

"Um, no way." Kimi replied.

"I could go for miles." Lil replied.

Peter smirked and started walking away, with Chance and Bean following behind him.

"Well then, we'll see you at the end of the ravine." Peter said.

Once they were gone, Lil and Kimi groaned, and Lil actually fainted. A few minutes later, Dil, who was walking backwards, thought he saw what appeared to be Bigfoot walk across the ravine.

"Whoa, there he is!" Dil shouted, pointing back.

Scroop, who was walking with Tommy, Chuckie, Sam, Zim, and GIR, glared back at him.

"Stop with the whole "Bigfoot" stuff, will ya? We already fell for it two times! If we look back, all we're going to see is nothing!" Scroop said angrily.

As the rest of the group walked on, Dil turned back around and watched as Bigfoot disappeared into a couple of trees. He shrugged and then ran after the others. After a few more minutes, Chuckie reached a Rest Area and laid down to catch his breath. Didi, Kira, Betty, and Randall walked over and sat down on a log.

"Well... at least we made it up that last hill." Randall said in relief.

"You said it." Didi said.

Just then, Lucy and Nigel walked down the path, having already reached the end of the ravine, and headed past them.

"Wait until you see the view. It's incredible!" Nigel said.

The African American woman and British Explorer passed Didi, Kira, Betty, and Randall. Once they were gone, the four groaned in exhaustion.

Later, back at the camp, Chaz had decided to try water skiing in the camp's lagoon, while Long John Silver was going to drive the boat pulling him, and the Rugrats parents, Mike, and Tak were sitting in the boat. Chaz gave a thumbs-up, signaling that he was ready to water ski.

"You can do it, honey!" Kira called out.

She then nodded to Long John Silver. The cyborg nodded back and started driving the boat. However, not even a second after the boat started moving, Chaz lost his grip on the water ski's handle and fell forward into the water. Kira closed her eyes and held her forehead in disbelief. Mike chuckled and turned to look back at the others.

"How fast were we going?" Mike asked.

"I think we settled on 46." Stu replied.

Meanwhile, at a part of the lagoon that had been set aside for swimming, Tommy, Lil, Dil, Sam, Tucker, Bean, and a bunch of other kids were swimming in the water, Kronk was cooking his famous spinach puffs on a grill, and Chuckie, Kimi, Peter, Angelica, Susie, Phil, Kuzco, Jim, and Danny were in a line on a small cliff above the lagoon to swing into the water from a rope swing.

"Come on, Chuckie. It's just a rope swing." Kimi said encouragingly.

"And it's just a small drop. If anything does happen to you, we'll help you." Peter added.

"To you two, maybe. But to me, it's a lethal weapon." Chuckie said nervously.

Kimi smirked, looked over to Peter, and motioned pushing him. Peter grinned and nodded in agreement. The two of them backed up and prepared to push him into the water.

"Plus, I hate climbing, and I'm afraid of hei..." Chuckie started to say.

Peter and Kimi both pushed him in unison, and Chuckie screamed as he swung forward. Just then, the boat rushed by the swimming zone, with Chaz trailing behind it on his water skis, finally having got the hang of the water sport. Instead of letting go at the right moment, Chuckie swung past the swimming zone and landed on top of Chaz's shoulders as he and the boat passed.

"Look, son! We're a human pyramid!" Chaz shouted.

Dil, Tucker, and Bean, who were all snorkeling in the lagoon, resurfaced from the water, just in time to notice what appeared to be the Loch Ness Monster rising out of the water.

"Whoa, watch out! It's the Loch Ness Monster!" Dil cried.

Chuckie and Chaz didn't hear him, and they tripped and fell into the water as the Loch Ness Monster disappeared back into the water.

"You got my back on this, right, guys?" Dil asked.

"Yeah." Tucker replied, too scared to say anything else.

Bean just nodded.
