Cast: Player, Dum, Captain, Veteran

Crewmates: N/A

Impostor(s): N/A

Plot: A game of Go Vacation in story form! To start it off, Player and his companions are hanging out in the Mountain Resort.

Warm sunlight shone down upon the four plucky resort goers, all of them in different, mountain-y attire. Player was wearing a red flannel shirt with black trousers and his traditional fur edged boots and beanie, Dum had her hair down and simply had pink (or the closest to pink she could find) cowgirl attire, with Captain just opting for his usual clothes that he had worn from the start. Veteran just had a yellow tank top, a brown vest on top of it, and navy blue jeans with mud soaked boots.

Dum noticed this and sighed bitterly, slightly elbowing Captain. "Wow, we haven't even been here for ten minutes and Veteran's all dirty." She groaned, although Captain's sights were fixed on the boat on the lake. as tempted as he was, he resisted jumping on because he agreed to this trip to strengthen this relationship after all. So he just nodded, which Dum was OK with.

Player was reading a pamphlet with ways to get around the island, certainly intrigued by all of this. "Horses, ATVS, even kayaks, a ferry and a train? Wow, there's a lot of stuff. I say we go for a horse riding stamp first. It's in a place called Slepnir Stables and the train can get us there, so let's wait due that."!He spoke out, and everyone agreed. They waited for the train pretty eagerly, and eventually got on once it arrived.

Despite being a bit upset he couldn't ride on the ferry, Captain had just decided to take in the surroundings as the group was travelling to the mentioned area in Player's pamphlet. He hadn't had a chance to properly see the sights like this since...well...ever. It was a little thing that Captain appreciated.

As for Veteran, he didn't really care about this whole trip. He only wanted to head out to the Marine Resort and show off on a marine bike. But here he was, stuck in the mountains. In all honesty, Veteran only agreed to come because Player was involved, and apparently Captain had the same idea. But he was alright because he just brought his girlfriend, and apparently he didn't care that she was Player's sister.

Speaking of her, Dum was the most eager to explore the mountains. There was so much here that she wanted to try, and now it was happening and it made her squeal in excitement. Paragliding, kayaking, even just the little things like tennis or horse riding, Dum was happy to do it all. Just as long as it strengthened her bond with Captain of course, she wanted to try and fix the rift that the two had formed.

And lastly was Player. He was actually really calm for once, because you can't really 'lose' on a vacation. Sure, he might lose a horse race or just suck in general at tennis, but it was nowher near as stressful as Among Us. It just gave him comfort in this situation, as well as the fact that he was doing this with his sister and two best friends. He even recalled some of  the other things everyone else was doing.

Engineer and Mr Cheese were taking their respective partners on a date in the City Resort (HECK YEAH GENTLECHEESE XD), Bro was headed to the Marine Resort with Ninja and two others, Sheriff and Angel, for a water gun tournament, while Stoner had tagged along with Mother, Goober and Poopyfarts to just head to the Snow Resort for fun.

Soon after he had composed those memories, the train had stopped at Longhorn Ranch, with the stables a few metres down the path. While Player and Veteran took time to stretch, the other two had let their picture be taken by a wandering photographer. "Whatever makes them happy, or mends their relationship...whatever." Veteran grumbled, starting to walk down the path while Player waited for Captain and Dum to be finished before following him.

A few minutes of signing up later, the four of them had gotten respective horses, and they all seemed pretty happy with them. All they had to do was collect some coins on a path by walking into them, and as long as everyone's score matched up to the target, they would get their stamps, so everyone was ready to go. After saddling up, the collection quest was on.

(Timeskip brought by my horrible skills as a Impostor...)

About 10 minutes later, everyone ha gotten back and their combined coin counter had barely gone over the target, and everyone got their stamps. Player felt good to 'win' something for once, even if it wasn't a fabled Among Us victory. Everyone else was surprisingly hyped up about this, confusing Player but he was stopped from talking when Dum pointed something out.

"Oh my gosh guys, it's sunset! I gotta get a photo with Captain by the lake!"

While Dum dashed down the hill with Captain following her, it just left Player and Veteran walking down the hill in awkward silence. The resort did look nicer like this, sure, but sooner or later they would have to return to the Villa Grounds for the night. Player sighed a little before speaking up.

"Man, I feel good for Captain. He's got a partner...even though it's my sister..." He sighed, causing Veteran to raise an eyebrow.

"Uh, you want me to change that?" Veteran asked almost trying to flirt with him, although Player's answer was a surprise to both of them.

"I mean, I'm still a bit distraught about losing my girlfriend...so I dunno...maybe ask in a few weeks? To see if my...uh...tastes have changed?"

Veteran's eyebrow raised further, although he didn't mind the response. He didn't say anything though, as the duo had just caught up to Captain and Dum, who had successfully gotten their photo. 'That could be us...potentially.' He thought, snickering a bit at the thought. So today was a bit awkward, but mostly fun for everyone.
