Sunday (Day 3)

(Minecraft Note Block version of Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt (Morning Mood)" playing)

*sun rises as the music plays*

6:00 AM

(alarm ringing on HJ's phone)

*HJ stops the alarm on his phone*

(Note Block version of Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt (Morning Mood)" stops playing)

HJ: Okay, you guys. Rise and shine!

*everyone else gets up*

HJ: Now we have 38 hours and 40 minutes left until tomorrow at 8:40 PM. We're gonna make today last. Understand?

All 17 others in unison: Yes, HJ.

HJ: Now, everyone. We're gonna sit out front and watch the sun rise.

Tom: And possibly see some zombies and skeletons die from the sunlight.

HJ: Okay. But we're gonna look at the sun rise.

All 17 others in unison: Okay.

*HJ opens the door*

(door opens)

*all 18 members in the group exit the cabin*

*HJ closes the door*

(door closes)

*all 18 members sit on the curb to see the sun rise*

(zombies and skeletons getting hurt and dying in the distance)

Tom: I wonder whatever happened to Prince Wood.

HJ: He's still in Steamhoma City, Tom. Finding a way to turn himself back to normal. He can't be a person who can control his size forever.

Tom: Oh, okay.

Narrator/EPF: 72,000 ticks later... (Which is also an hour.)

7:00 AM

Tess: HJ, it's been an hour since we saw the sun rise. And other campers are getting up. Breakfast starts in fifteen minutes.

Kate: Yeah, HJ. Can we please get ready for breakfast?

HJ: Yeah, I guess.

*everyone in the gang gets up and stop watching the sun rise and they get ready for breakfast*

Narrator/EPF: 15 minutes later...

7:15 AM

*at the dining hall*

HJ: So glad we have until tomorrow to steal those evil plans from the Steamferno Clan, but we can't just rely on our instincts forever, you know.

Josh: HJ, today's Sunday. And we should be doing what we usually do on this day of the week. And you know what it is.

HJ: Josh, I do know what it is, but, we'd rather not say it.

Jamie: Just only two more days until this camping trip is over.

Tom: I just want to be free when we get back home.

(dining hall chatter)

Narrator/EPF: 45 minutes later...

8:00 AM

HJ: Come on, guys! We're gonna be late for PVE practice!

*at the PVE Practice Arena*

HJ: This is such an interesting Sunday morning we're having.

Tom: You said it, HJ!

*the gang and some other campers fight their assigned practice dummies*

Narrator/EPF: 40 minutes later...

8:40 AM

HJ: Only 36 hours until show time, you guys!

Narrator/EPF: Show Time is coming! 36 hours remain!

Jamie: Yeah, just a day and a half until we can steal those plans from the Steamferno Clan!

Narrator/EPF: 20 minutes after that...

9:00 AM

*the gang walks to the archery field*

HJ: Come on, guys! We're gonna be late for archery!

HJ: You're getting very close, Tom.

Narrator/EPF: One hour later...

10:00 AM

HJ: Let's head to stone block mining. Come on!

*the gang walks to the stone block mining area*

HJ: We're here everyone. But this time, let's break the stone blocks faster. Faster than ever!

All 17 in unison: Okay, HJ!

*everyone gets out their pickaxes*

(many stone blocks breaking)

Narrator/EPF: One hour later...

11:00 AM

HJ: Okay, guys! Let's head to track and field!

*the gang heads to the running field*

Counselor 2: Okay, everyone! Looks like you're all here. We're gonna do different routines of track and field this time. First, we're gonna do the triple jump!

Narrator/EPF: One hour later...

12:00 PM

*at the dining hall*

HJ: Okay, guys! We're at lunch right now. And we have 32 hours left until show time! I wonder how many ticks are in 32 hours.
