Family Camping Trips

Sorry for the long sabbatical.

"Ah! That damn mosquito bit me."

"Want some of my all natural insect repellent?"

"That crap won't work."

"Shut up Ohio!"

"Get that side of the tent Neb!"

"Gin get away from the grill!"

"Why the Bloody Hell should I?" snapped Virginia as she took a log towards the pit. She paused as she realized that someone was standing behind her…breathing heavily.

Virginia yelled as she noticed the androgynous teen in a black hoodie who had suddenly appear behind her.

"For the love of Mount Vernon! Northwest don't sneak up on me like that!" Virginia yelled.

"Mattie!" America yelled as Canada and the rest of the Provinces came off the trail to the large campground where the family was having a reunion. Mexico and her Estados could not attend due to pressing issues at her place.

From what they managed to get out of her angry rant was that Michoacán had been playing vigilante against the Cartels with his citizens, got busted and now she was dealing with her boss about it.

"Hello brother." Newfoundland called out as she and Labrador arrived in style on her rare dragon.

"Sissy!" America yelled as he hugged her.

The next few hours were spent as the States and Provinces set up their tents while America and Canada helped Vinland finish setting up a Native American protection matrix around them.

"Remind me again why they do that every time?" Connecticut asked. He and California were slightly twitchy since America forbade them to bring anything more high tech then a satellite phone.

"Remember 1897 and the Wendigo incident?"

The Northern states and enamoring Provinces shuddered. They had crashed at Minnesota's house when the cannibal spirit attacked. Had their dads not shown up so quickly there was a good chance that they would have been eaten, no question about it.

"Hey guys! The grill is ready!"

"Sirloin coming through!" Texas yelled carrying a large cooler. Alberta snorted and brought over his own beef cuts.

"Bring on the meat!" Pennsylvania and Ontario yelled.

11 PM

"A loud 'Yahoo' suddenly echoed through the holler, sending chills down their spines…YAHOO~!"

"West...the Yahoos aren't real." Nova Scotia deadpanned as the teen stopped mid-howl and fell off the log he had been sitting on.

"Shut up! I know you have them too!"

"Do not."

"Do too."

"…not again…"

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"SHUT UP!" the Big 4 and the Original 13 shouted.

Nearby in under a makeshift canopy Newfoundland rolled her eyes as Nunavut kicked Washington. "Your brats are as energetic as ever."

Canada and America laughed from behind their cards. They looked back to the pile of talismans in the center of the table.

Suddenly there was a loud crack in the distance.

Wisconsin's eyes seemed to glisten as he took out his slingshot. "SLENDERMAN GET THE F**K OUTTA HERE!"

Northwest's breathing became ragged and angry.

"It wasn't Slendy who hurt your citizen, it was two girls outta whack with reality!" New Brunswick growled.

Suddenly a loud howl permeated the air. West Virginia shot of his tent with a shot gun.

"IT'S THE GRAFTON MONSTER!"

"No it wasn't. It was just a perving near the girl's tents." Saskatchewan announced as he took a look in the general direction with night vision goggles.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"RELEASE THE HOUNDS OF HELL!"
