Saturday (Day 2)
(Minecraft Note Block version of Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt (Morning Mood)" playing)
*the sun rises as the music plays*
6:00 AM
(alarm ringing on HJ's phone)
*HJ stops the alarm on his phone*
*HJ gets up*
*the other 17 members follow*
("Camping's End" from Miitopia playing)
HJ: Okay, guys. We're going on a hike. An early hike, if you will.
(Minecraft Note Block version of Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt (Morning Mood)" stops playing)
Tess: (yawns) Sometimes my mom gets quite surprised if I wake up early.
Kate: I miss being a human being.
Jack: Me, too, Kate. Me, too.
Kate: *blushes* Aw, Jack. You're making me blush.
HJ: We're explore this whole camp and not go into the Steamferno Clan occupied territory of it. Understand?
All 17 in unison, quietly: Understood.
HJ: Good. Come on. *opens the front door*
(door opens)
*all 18 members walk out of the door*
*HJ closes the door*
(door closes)
HJ: I'll lead the way. *starts walking*
*the other 17 members follow him*
Tess (whispering to Kate): You were blushing earlier. It's okay if you tell me a secret. Your secret will be safe with me.
Kate (whispering to Tess): Alright, fine. I'll tell you. I have a crush on Jack.
Tess (whispering to Kate): Oh, okay. Seems interesting. Maybe one day, I'll figure a way out to get you and Jack back to normal. So the both of you can be human beings again. The species you were both born with. And your secret is safe with me.
Kate (whispering to Tess): Oh, okay. I've been a robot for, like, two years now. I've been a robot since I was eight. And now I'm ten.
HJ: *looks at his phone* It's 6:05 AM.
Narrator/EPF: Five minutes later...
6:10 AM
HJ: Wow, this is quite an interesting area here.
Josh: Aren't those the smokestacks by the dining hall right there?
Jamie: I don't know, Josh. Aren't they?
Josh: They are!
Tom: Wow, it's gonna be really hot during the day here and during our activities.
Ryan: That shooting star that Josh told us about last night? I heard HJ made on a wish on it.
Zoe: Yeah, Ryan. I'm guessing he got lucky to be the first person to make a wish on it.
Tess: Yeah, none of the other 282 campers noticed that shooting star last night.
Riga: I wonder if that wish HJ made upon that shooting star from last night came true.
Kate: Well, we're gonna have to find out if it did, Riga. We're gonna have to wait and find out if his wish did come true.
Drew: Yeah, HJ granting a wish upon last night's shooting star was just something else. I once heard that wishes don't always come true.
Duke: Josh said something about that shooting star from last night about it being rumored to grant any wish for the first person who sees it in the night sky.
Jack: I hope that HJ's wish that he made last night would come true. I would love to see his wish in action.
HJ (to EPF, quietly): EPF, what time is it?
EPF: The time is 6:15 AM.
HJ (to EPF, quietly): Okay, thanks, EPF.
EPF: Don't mention it, Hugh Jacob.
Will: If we do have same activities today like how we had them yesterday, I don't know what I'd do.

7:15 AM
(dining hall chatter)
HJ: You know, guys? Since today is Saturday, we only have two more days until we steal those evil plans from the Steamferno Clan with the help of Juan.
Josh: I don't know when are we going to steal those evil plans on Monday. Not sure if it's gonna on Monday morning or Monday afternoon or Monday evening or Monday night.
Jamie: Yeah. Dr. Steamferno wants his evil plans to succeed.
Tom: It's just not that fair at all.
Narrator/EPF: 54,000 ticks later... (Which is also 45 minutes.)
8:00 AM
*the gang leaves the dining hall*
Josh: Where are we headed to, HJ?
HJ: PVE Practice. *to himself* PVE Practice! We're doing it again! My wish came true! *to the others* Guys! My wish from last night came true!
Josh: Oh, wow.
Jamie: Interesting.
Tom: Awesome!
*the gang walks up to the PVE Practice Arena*
Juan: Okay, everyone! To those of you who already know this, great. But to those of you who don't, I'm gonna explain them to you. This will last an hour.
HJ (to the others): Come on, guys! We already know this. Let's fight against these practice dummies.
*the gang fights their same assigned practice dummies from yesterday*
Narrator/EPF: 72,000 ticks later... (That's like an hour!)
9:00 AM
*the gang walks out of the PVE Practice Arena*
Josh: Where are we headed to next, HJ?
HJ: Archery, again.
Josh: Oh, alright. Looks like your wish from last night did come true, HJ.
*the gang walks to the archery field*
Counselor 1: Archers!
*the archers ready their bows to aim at their targets*
Counselor 1: Fire! (blows whistle)
(TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!)
(arrows whooshing)
(arrows hitting targets)
(multiple fireworks launching and exploding)
HJ: I wonder if Juan will let us know when on Monday we're gonna steal those evil plans from the Steamferno Clan.
Josh: A solution will arise, HJ.
Narrator/EPF: One hour later...
10:00 AM
HJ: We're heading to stone block mining again.
*Counselor 1 walks up to HJ*
Counselor 1: HJ! Cork Men! Rookies! Juan just told me that you guys are supposed to meet him wherever he wants to meet you guys on Monday at 8:40 PM.
HJ: Okay, thanks.
Counselor 1 (breathless): You're welcome! *walks away*
HJ: Okay, now we can go to stone block mining.
*the gang walks up to the stone block mining area*
HJ: We're here, everyone.
*the gang get out their pickaxes*
(many stone blocks breaking)
Narrator/EPF: One hour later...
11:00 AM
HJ: Phew! All that mining for an hour is hard work. To track and field we go!
*the gang walks to the running field*
HJ: We're here, you guys. Josh, Jamie, Tom, Ryan, Zoe, Drew, and Duke. Let's the 100 meter dash on this field.
Josh, Jamie, Tom, Ryan, Zoe, Drew, and Duke in unison: Okay!
*all eight of them start at the starting line*
HJ: Ready? 3! 2! 1! GO!
*the eight start running with HJ in the lead*
*when all eight people cross the finish line, HJ places first, Josh places second, Jamie places third, Tom places fourth, Ryan places fifth, Zoe places sixth, Drew places seventh, and Duke places eighth*
Narrator/EPF: One hour later...
12:00 PM
*at the dining hall*
HJ: Alright, you guys. It's lunch time! And we have 4,080,000 ticks left until Monday at 8:40 PM. Which will be two minutes before sunset that day. I wonder how long 4,080,000 ticks is.
Narrator/EPF: To be continued (in the next chapter)...
