The day of the camping trip had arrived. The were taking four cars, there would be fourteen of them all together. five girls and six boys, rose, violet, rainy, Jain, and summer of the girls. Zack, Seth, Mack, Arron, neon, and rick. They would all meet at the mall then decide on their first stop. Tess was riding with Riley and Kate to meet the others. Kate was going over with them that for tonight they would be camping at a Arizona camp ground. The camp ground was nice, with clean cabins if they wanted to rent one instead of sleeping in the tent. They would decide later if they chose that route, most of the camp grounds that were on their list gave that option.
At the mall everyone got out of the car and showed their trunk full of stuff to compare what they were taking. A couple of the boy tried on their sweaters, to show how much warmth you would need if it became cold at night. It had been rumored to become cold spontaneously in Roswell at night time. It could be hot for day then a cold would burst through. The cooler was the next to be shown, they had dividers for every type of beverage, cans, plastic bottles, and glass bottles. The map was reviews then they were on the road.
The drive to the campsite was about four hours and the time went by fast. They had played music, and guess the next billboard sign. After getting their tent setup, they decided to try the tent way this time. Tess, Riley, and Kate would be sharing. The had Arizona trail and river at the camping site. The rivers were fresh and had a open swimming hole at the end of one. Once in the water Tess sat by the small water fall with Riley pushing her under it once and while. He'd go off with the boys then came back to get her hair wet. Her and Kate were talking when they noticed tiny rocks fall from the upper ledge, it seemed to be caused by wind coming through. She didn't think it would get too windy here.
After getting out of the water, they had dinner at the campsite diner, and returned to there campsite. Zack started a fire, and they sat down for story telling. Zack had a round ball in his hand that his cousin Mack's father had took from the Roswell museum. Zack said that it had been going off more at home but seemed to settle down now that they were camping. Zack and Mack were talking about how cool it would be to communicate with another being. Of course this being looked just like us, just like a illegal alien only from farther away. Zack said they could teach us how to enhance our natural environment. Tess laughed and added to the story that the pop from that planet would probably have a more jeweled sugar, since the object was a jewel type. After a few more stories they headed to bed. They had a air mattress, Tess took a spot in the middle. Kate feel asleep soon after, Tess saw Riley was still awake, she whispered to him that it was so quiet out there and the stars somehow made it more distant. Riley laughed and said she was thinking too hard. She cuddled up to his warmth and feel asleep to the soft wind coming in.
