Tucker woke up disoriented. The sun was shining directly onto his face and behind his eyelids. He tries to pull his cover over his head, feeling around himself confusedly when he can't find it. Bzzt. Bzzt. Something was buzzing close by but he has no idea what it is. It was loud and uber-annoying wherever it is. He groans rolling over to turn off the infernal sound.
"Ma, turn that shit off!" A familiar voice calls somewhere from his right causing Tucker to jerk upwards in alarm. Why was Ricky in his house?
"Dad, we talked about this," Abby mumbles out sounding done with her father.
"Why are you bothering me," Sophi whines, "it's Summer!"
Tucker looks around with bleary eyes and furrowed brows. What the hell is going on and why are all these people in his house?
"Jazz," Danny growls annoyed, "I swear to Clockwork." He sits up with a glare fixed on his face and his hair a mess. "Tucker?" He calls out to the boy with confusion.
"Danny," Tucker says turning his head to face the direction he heard his friend's voice come from. "I can't see and have no idea what happening?" He informs his lightly as he shuffles his hands around him to find his glasses. "Why are we outside?" Tucker asks aloud noticing that all he feels grass and a few limbs that do not belong to him. He makes his way through the maze of immobile teens with his hands as he searches for his glasses. He finds them ten minutes later with the help of Danny and April, who he woke up on an accident. He puts them on and the world around him quickly corrects itself from blurry coloured blobs and outlines to trees and people. "What the hell." He blanks as he notices that his whole class is with him along with a pile of stuff in the center of them, where he found his glasses.
"Why," Danny asks looking around boredly, "is that sound still going off?" He asks with an edge to his voice.
"Did we really get kidnapped?" April asks bewildered. "Please, don't make this a trend," she begs the universe quietly with her fingers crossed.
"What the hell!" Kira blurts out startling Tucker and April. Danny simply turns to look at the girl with a bored expression. "Why the hell am I sleeping outside, on the ground, with NO sleeping bag or anything!" She demands the trio with a firm glare in place.
"Yeah, okay Paulina," April snorts at the girl. "We literally just woke up Kirr, and we are just as confused as you."
"Did we get kidnapped," she deadpans her face going blank.
"It would seem so," Michell's voice calls from their left. "What is that awful sound?"
"I don't know," Dylan grunts from beside Kira as he rolls over onto his stomach, "but if it doesn't turn off in the next minutes, I'm gonna stab somebody."
"I have an idea," Danny voices, his voice slightly raspy, "I think its an alarm."
"No shit!" The conscious members of the class say drolly.
Danny rolls his eyes, "So if everyone wakes up it should turn off." He states matter of factually. "Tucker," he calls to his friend lowly, "wanna play a game? I do the stabbing and you guess with what."
"No!" April halts the plan with a panic-stricken face, "Why is torture the first thing on your list when you decided to wake everyone up. Did you wake up and decide that you were gonna be a dick today or something?"
"That's not nice April," her friend reprimands the black girl softly.
"It's just to check," Tucker cuts himself off shooting Danny a confused look. "What are you doing?" He asks him confusedly noting that the boy is tilting his head to the side like a dog. His right ear was tilted toward the forest surrounding them but his eyes were focused on him. Tucker read between the lines by play a game Danny meant check everyone over as they wake up and taking note of any injuries. Hence the Danny does the stabbing and Tucker checks the wound; Danny would wake the person up and Tucker would look for any wound on the person without being noticed.
"Wake them up, I'll be back," he says briskly brushing off the questioning expressions and calls of his name.
"Did he really just leave," Kira asks incredulously turning to Tucker for an explanation. Tucker shrugs moving to wake Mikey and anyone else who wears glasses first so that they could find them before everyone started to move.
Kelly sits up with a disgruntled face, "Why the hell..." she trails off confused after Sofie shook her awake.
"Kelly, the aliens took us!"
"Sofie, stop drinking soda before bed."
Once everyone is awake the infernal noise stops causing the teens to breath a simultaneous sigh of relief. Tucker manages to sneak off and return with Danny without anyone noticing their absence.
"Where the hell are we?" Dash asks scratching his head.
"In nature," Star deadpans picking a piece of grass out of her hair.
"Are we around Amity? Quick everyone check yer phones," Abby demands feeling her pockets and patting her body down.
"We literally woke up without our glasses," Sofie recalls begrudgingly, "I should have left my contacts in." She ignores the students ignoring her and continues with her explanation, "Our glasses were literally in a pile of stuff that NO ONE has bothered to check yet; and someone left their glasses up here by the way. Could be a bomb, could be some cookies," she shrugs.
Danny and Tucker share a look as Danny quietly maneuvers them through their classmates and to the pile of objects in the center of the scattered group. He notes that one of the backpacks looks vaguely familiar and picks it up, "This is mine," he says aloud unintentionally. He roots around inside of it and comes up with nothing but a notebook and pen. He opens it the first page.
"Day 0 huh," Tucker notes looking at what was written on the page.
Paulina pushes her way through the crowd and takes the notebook from them. "'Day 0, Today is the day that I have decided to enact my plan. Everything is set and my participants are unsuspecting. One participant in particular is severely unsuspecting, which should be a blast! Hello students! Say hello! Do it! Or else...'" she furrows her brows looking up from the note with a strange expression. "We have to say hello to...something."
"Hello," they all say begrudgingly with toneless voices.
"Hello! I'm sorry about all the confusion I assure you that it will get better from here on out. Welcome to Camp Survive, where our moto is if you live you survive," Paulina trails off looking up sharply as the bushes rustle.
"Give me that," Valerie demands snatching the notebook from the girl's hands. "'You are all away from home for the Summer, a bummer I am well aware. If you search the bags, you will notice that there is not much in them. Mr. Foley has all his technology and has medical supplies. Mr. Fenton has a notebook and pen, Mr. Baxter has tools, Ms. Sanchez has feminine hygiene products, Mr. Hanlon has male hygiene products, Ms. Sander has water, Ms. Fowler has sewing supplies, Mr. Ishiyama has a tarp, Ms. Buewller has female underclothing, Mr. Patrick has male underclothing, Mr. Dunkin has washing supplies, and the rest are empty to put the other items you gather around the way in'." She reads aloud neutrally.
"Great we're on an extreme scavenger hunt set up by a psycophatth."
"'I do hope you find a shelter by nightfall; bad things happen at night when you're out in the open without protection. I hope we'll all have fun going on this journey together. Say hi to your new members Jessica, Adam, Dustin, Holly, and Molly- yes, they are twins. See you on day 4!' And that's the end of that creepy ass message."
"He gave us five new people? Why? You aren't from Amity," April notes looking to the people she doesn't recognize. "We'll do an introduction when we have some down time later."
"We need to double check the bags and see if what they said is true," Danny says lowly to the scared group. "My bag is empty except for that notebook and this pen, and," he roots around and comes up with two packs of cards and a lipstick, "this. Hidden compartment," he shrugs at the incredulous looks he receives.
Tucker snorts rooting through his bag and laying all the tec inside it out along with the med kit "Sandra and Sharon, huh, nice choice," he pauses taking another look at the med kit, "Danny." Danny looks at him upon the call of his name. He crouches down and looks at what Tucker is looking at. "Maybe it's not what I'm thinking."
"No, it is," Danny says darkly. "That means that that is definitely my notebook, so may I have it back please?" He asks making the class actually pay attention to the two. Impatiently Danny took the notebook and flipped through the pages he stops on a page with a drawing on it and shows it to Tucker. "I just bought this notebook, and the first thing I did was doodle in the very back and this pen is pretty old, its actually my favorite pen," he addresses both the group and Tucker himself.
"Buewller dump your bag, now," April demands.
"Why?"
"Do it," Star tells her uninterestedly.
Megan dumps her bag and all the underwear falls onto the ground. April quickly makes her way to the girl and riffles through the pile. Kira comes next seemingly drawing the same conclusion that April drew.
"They all belong to us, correct?" Kira asks the other girls.
Star deadpans looking at the pile blankly, "Great a ghost went through my underwear."
"Should we divvy them up so we know what belongs to who and all that jazz?"
"Let's just put them back the boys are staring and its embarrassing," Michelle admits softly.
Once the underwear was put away the students were debating (arguing) about whether or not they should leave the area that they had woke up in. It was decided after Mikey revealed that he had to use the restroom, that they would go together to explore.
They walk silently for a while with a few murmurs of carefuls when something messes up their path.
"These plants give off some strange vibes yo," Dylan said suddenly causing the group to stop walking. "Are we sure we should go this way?"
Valerie huffed from her position in the back of the group where Danny and Tucker were meandering. She was making sure that no one had ran off on their own or got lost. The place that they were in was weird in general. The air smelled weird!

Foley Residence Earlier in the day
When Amity woke up, there was confusion. The Foley's received 5 phone calls from parents regarding their children.
"Have you seen...," they all started out borderline hysterical. The answer of 'No,' was apparently not the right answer.
Tisha had decided enough was enough and went upstairs to ask Tucker what was going on. Only, he wasn't in his room. Or Danny's room, or Sam's room, or Selina's room, or the upstairs kitchen, bathroom, living room, attic, empty room, he wasn't upstairs. He's outside, she decided ignoring the logical part of her brain that said Tucker would never be up this early after ghost hunting! He would never be this up early at all, actually. She went to the shed turning on the lights and looking around then she went to the treehouse being sure to check both versions of it. He wasn't there! Her baby wasn't at home.
Wait.
Her brain came to a halt as she pulled out her phone and actually called her son. He didn't pick up on that number, nor that one, nor that one, nor that one, nor that one...
...What the hell!
"Tucker Maurice Foley if you don't answer this god forsaken phone so help me god!" She grumbled worriedly. "Danny, Danny will know." She murmurs looking for his number and calling the boy, "Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick UP!" She shouted borderline hysterical. Danny didn't answer either. She frantically dials her husband, "Maurice, do you know where your son is? Do you know where my baby is?"
"At home...?" The man answers unsure of himself. "Didn't he and Danny stay at the Fenton's?"
"That was yesterday!"
"Did you...," he starts hesitantly, "call...the...Fenton's?"
"I'll call you back." She tells him with a huff. "If my boy is over there and he didn't say anything to me we're gonna have issues. And where is Danny cause isn't he avoiding-Hello Jazz, is Tucker there? Better yet is Danny there?... You don't know if Danny's home," 'Typical,' Tisha thinks with an eye roll, "Can you check please? Thank you... You can't find him or Tucker. Did you check the whole building? I thought Danny stayed home after yesterday since he didn't come back with Tucker." She clinches her teeth in a forced smile, "So you're telling me that my babies are unaccounted for along with a couple more parents' children." She stumbles as a dizzy spell washes over her. Why was she so dizzy?
Tisha drops the phone as smoke fills her vision.
"Mrs. Foley!"
…
…
…
…
"What the hell is this!" An angry voice hisses out.
Tisha sits on the ground with an annoyed expression on her face. 'Fucking ghosts,' she thinks with a glare on her face.
"Would you chill out!" Kiyanah Hariss' voice snaps attracting the attention of everyone in the room. "We've been transported along with the whole town to a theater specifically for our respective cities, states, provinces, etcetera. We are grouped off based on location and our voices are projected around the world to all the others that were forced to participate."
The other teens in Lancer's class grown in dismay. "Why couldn't I have gone too," Zack mumbles.
"Might I ask why we were forced to do this and who was speaking and where are you from," A female's voice with an accent fills the room.
"That's Kiyanah Harris from Amity Park!" A boy's voice says excitedly.
Murmurs fill the theater as people from around the world make their voices known.
"Yeah," an Irish accent fills the room, "that's all well and good but why are we here."
"To watch my show of course!" A voice reveals to all the spectators. "I did give a warning."
"Ghost!" The Fenton's yell as Jazz facepalms.
"Yes, Amity is currently missing a few teenagers and well, I, happen to know where they are! Oh, I can't wait any longer! I'm just gone show you!"
The screens around the world jump to live showing a group of teens laying on the ground. A sound goes off and the scene switches to a temple where the siren was and then zooms out to show the location of the teens.
"That's a long way to go," A woman says in Japanese that was quickly translated to the language that each person would understand.
The scene goes back to the teens as Tucker Foley starts to stir rolling onto his side and moving his arm around confusedly. The boy jerks up at the sound of another male's voice.
Snorts and muffled laughter rings through-out the theater at the teens whining at their parents.
"At least they're together," Tisha breaths out relieved that her children were okay.
They watch confusedly for a minute wondering why the boy was moving around so much. Oh's rang throughout the theater as it was revealed that the teen wears glasses. They watch as more people wake up annoyed with the sound and their situation. Then a few chuckles ring clear as the Danny got angry remarks from his classmates that have woken up.
"Why did Danny want Tucker to play a game with him instead of waking everyone up. And what the hell type of game was it?" A man with a thick southern accent asks aloud.
"He woke up and decided that violence was the first thing on his agenda," a teenage girl says jokingly.
"He usually wouldn't do that," Jazz speaks up. "My brother is very cautious of his surroundings and of the people surrounding him."
"They are waking everyone up," Sam's voice come loud and clear through the speaker, "he just meant that he was gonna wake the person and Tucker was gonna discreetly play nurse."
The sound of Sam's voice left people who watched the show speechless.
The camera follows Danny Fenton who makes his way through the trees stopping when he spots what he was seemingly listening for. It was...a deer. A weirdly coloured deer but a deer nonetheless. He watches it for a few more minutes then steps closer. The deer instantly snaps its head in his direction and growls changing into a mountain lion. The boy stops on a dime and backs away. The big cat snorts, turns into a poison dart frog and hops away.
"'Why do I always find the weird things first,'" He sighs annoyed as Tucker finds his friend. "' You saw that too, right?'"
"'Why does the weird stuff always happen to us?'" The black teen asks looking up to the sky.
No one says anything after the discovery of the strange animal. They were shown what happened after Danny left and then the scene went to the present with Danny holding a notebook and reading the contents before it was snatched away from him. The audience notes that Dylan picked up the leftover glasses and put them in his pocket.
"Those are Kira's glasses," her mother reveals to everyone. "She doesn't wear them often but if they're there that means that something might happen to her contacts."
"She forgot that she has glasses," A French man snorts.
"No, she doesn't wear them at all, infact she probably doesn't even know what they look like. Dylan probably picked them up remembering that she wears contacts."
"That's my OTP," a girl's voice swoons.
They watch as the females debate over their underwear before embarrassingly stuffing them back in the backpack. The group shuffle off into the woods with Dash and Kwan in the front.
"Why did they go into the woods the way that they did?" Someone questions. "Look at the way that they're set up, the blond boy and his Asian friend are in the very front. The Hispanic girl, the blonde chick with blue eyes, and Buewller are next then the guy who hasn't spoken at all the 3 new girls and one of the new boys. The one who took her contacts out, the one with the slight accent, and Kelly are after them. Dylan, Kira, the girl version of the short boy with glasses, and April are next. That big red headed kid that keeps eyeing the black girl who read the note and the boy version of the long red-haired chick is next. Then Danny and Tucker who look like they're supposed to be in line with the person behind them, the black girl who read the note."
"Really dude," a teen grumbles, "we can see ya know."
"Speak for yourself kid!"
"What's wrong with their positions?" Zack asks noting that Dash and Kwan took the front and Valerie took the back.
"Mainly girls are in the center with the exception of the black girl in the very back. The boys in the rows of five mark how far to the sides any of them can go and the girl in the back is for stragglers." Mia observes.
"Danny and Tucker are walking behind Nathan and Mikey but they aren't walking directly behind them. Their walking slightly to the side making Nathan and Mikey the last people on the inside of their protective shape. Why is Valerie in the back though?" Sarah wonders.
"She's strong and athletic if anything come from behind then she can warn everyone. They probably put Foley and Fenton there as alarms, cause Foley has a set of pipes when he's scared." Rebecca decided.
"I'm guessing you guys know them?" A woman says drolly reminding the teens that the whole world could hear them, only to be ignored by the teens.
"It's simple really, Dash and Kwan are trying to show off but protect their hides at the same time by going first." Wes speaks up.
"Naw," Kiyanah disagrees, "those dunderheads are the first line of defense. Gilian and New Boy 1 are doing what Mia said but Dylan and New Boy 2 and the side line defense, notice how Dylan is walking farther out than Gilian is and New Boy 2 is mirroring him on the other side. Danny and Tucker are walking in line with Gilian and New Boy 1 and keep talking to each other despite being far apart, they are also marking the boundry. Valerie is either walking in line with the remaining two of the trio or walking at the back because no one likes her really; sis fell off the wagon lately and hasn't really been associating with anyone."
"Why do you know this? Are you sure that that is what is happening?" Durai questions her with a raised brow.
"I'm guessing like a motherf-, I mean it just seemed right."
Zack snorts causing Kiyanah to glare at him.
"I think she's right," Rebecca says, "surprisingly."
"What do you mean, 'surprisingly,'" Kiyanah demands.
"No, no, no," Tiffanie interrupts, "we are not about to argue! All these people can hear us!"
"Shit!" Dale swears. "We've been around Lancer's class too much, the need to argue is rubbing off on us."
"You all done now," a man deadpans suddenly.
"Sure." The teens chorus as one groaning in distaste once they realize what they had done.
