//------------------------------// // Chapter 10: Hikes and Overnights // Story: Summer Camp Fun // by FireworksPOP //------------------------------// The sun rose over the mountain tops and everyone yawned as they woke up. Sunset was up and out of bed first. "Common girls, get up, our whole day is planned out starting right after breakfast." "Why is it planned out?" June groaned. "Fern said something about keeping all the campers and councilor's out of the way for the day." Sunset grabbed her clothes and went to the bathroom to change. Camo sat up, fallowed by Violet and June. "Why has she been acting so happy and ready to start the day lately?" June sighed. "Side effect from the anxiety attack she had a few days ago." "What do you mean June?" "During the weekend when we all went home she passed out because Flash's dad is really intimidating." "But why would it make her pass out?" Violet tilted her head. "Well, she said it happens when something really scary is happening or when she gets beat up." June shrugged. "That's all I know." "Okay everyone, sorry, I think I've calmed down a bit, I hate when that happens." Sunset walked out of the bathroom in a much calmer state. "But seriously, get ready and get to the mess hall, I was serious about Fern wanting to get everyone out of the way for the day." Flash, Sunset and Wallflower were all together on a buddy cabin hike, Wallflower was a C.I.T, but her councilor was sick so she had to take the leadership role for her cabin today. All the campers behind them talked to each other, while the C.I.T's and councilors lead the way. "Sunburst, where's the map?" Flash asked noticing his friend was no longer holding it. "Wallflower took it, she said that I can't keep up with it." He crossed his arms. "Can you blame her? Yesterday you lost your shoes while we were eating." "I told you a raccoon took them!" "Are you really going to try that one again?" "Fine, I lost them." "Guy's, back on track, we have to be at our camping spot before the sun goes down." Wallflower pointed to the sign on the side of the trail. Camp site: half a mile "I bet the sunset will look amazing from up there." Flash turned around to face Sunset. "Pun intended." Sunset forced back her laughter after he said this. "Your a goofball." "I know." "Finally!" Canoe Tipper threw of his back pack and sat down on one of the many rocks surrounding what was supposed to be a campfire tonight. "How many miles did we just walk?" Wallflower looked down at the map. "About four." "Four?!" CT fell backward. "Wow, didn't realize we had walked that far." "You used to be a pony, to you four miles feels like less than a yard." Flash said. "Fair, and true, now, how many of you know how to pitch a-." Sunset's gaze drifted to a tent that was already pitched with Camo and June standing next to it. "We finished!" June smiled and high fived Camo. "Where an awesome team!" Camo said. Riptide looked over at them. "Wow your fast." June's cheeks turned a light shade of crimson. "Thanks Riptide." "I'll go get some fire wood, Flash, you coming?" "You bet ya." Flash walked of with Sunset into the woods. Sunburst watched them leave. "How much you want to bet that either one or both of them dies?" Wallflower looked back at him. "Five bucks." "Deal." They both started to pitch tents for the rest of the campers and themselves. Sunset walked into camp with Flash fallowing behind her, both of them with armfuls of wood. "Ha! Sunburst, you owe me five bucks!" "A'man." Flash looked annoyed. "Did you guys bet on weather we would die or not?" Both of them nodded. "We did." "Okay, lets get started on the fire, it'll be dark out here in a flash." Sunset turned to him. "Pun returned." "Mine was better." Sunset shook her head and giggled. "I want Banana's opinion on that." "Ha ha very funny." During the weekend when they were at home, Flash had invited her to stay for diner, and his mom was vegetarian and said they had out voted his sister and father, and when Sunset had pointed out that they were a four person family, Flash turned to her and said, "Don't forget Banana." Flash and Sunset put the wood down and Flash began to start the fire as Sunset went to check everyone's tents. The sun descended from the sky, and soon it was dark, and a new moon stayed unseen in the night sky. Everyone sat by the fire toasting and eating s'mores, having a great time. "Then- then- June walked into the cabin and started to talk, I was so supersized I pinched myself cause I thought I was dreaming!" Violet said. "Special thanks to Sunset and Flurry Heart." June smiled and burst into laughter. "S-s-sorry, I- I just remember the look Riptide had on his face when I told him the story of how it happened!" Rocket, who had always been a very silent person up till know, started to laugh to. "Nothing compared to the look on his face when pony ears appeared on Sunset's head!" "Hey! I didn't even know another world existed until know!" Rocket laughed harder. "A parallel dimension where there's pony's instead of humans and alicorn princesses! My friend back home owes me twenty bucks!" Flash smiled. "Good to have you not acting like Fluttershy, it was starting to get weird." Violet looked up. "Who is Fluttershy?" Sunset shook her head. "She's one of my friends, but she's really shy about a lot of things." "Sounds like she got the right name." "Flash, remember when her brother hit on me before he met Dash a few months ago?" "How could I forget? That guy is totally her opposite! We almost got found out when that happened." "Zephyr Breeze is crazy, when he finds out RD and Sorin like each other he is going to flip out, then start on AJ." "He will try, I don't think he'll succeed."
