"Good evening. Would all young recruits report to the courtyard with camping gear in-hand please? Report to the courtyard with camping gear please. Thank you."
FRIDAY's message went to all rooms, the common room, the lab, the hangar, and the kitchen. And all who heard it were confused by the instructions from it. All except for PJ.
"Aw yeAH!! We're going camping!!" He cheered.

***Courtyard***
"So why're we here?" Cassie asked, slightly confused.
"Yeah, what's this all about?" Harley added.
All sixteen young ones, teens, young adults and PJ, were all gathered a nice campfire. They all sat on either some logs, lawn chairs, or crisscross applesauce on the grassy ground. It was a little chilly tonight so some of them had coats on or wrapped in a blanket like Kamala. Regardless of their seating arrangement, they were all sitting in a circle around the fire, curious and confused.
"Well," Peter began, "we thought it'd be a good idea to get out of the Compound. A little fresh air, you know. Plus, it'd be a good way to get to know each other better, clean slate."
"And what better way to do it that around a campfire under the stars" Jamie added positively, poking at the fire.
"Well, if anyone's hungry," Maddie pulled out a large cooler and a big box and opened them up to show the inside full of goodies, "I brought the grub for the night!"
PJ was the first to run over and look inside, and what he found made him excited like a kid on sugar. Inside were large quantities of barbeque meat such as ribs, sausage, and chicken. Cooked of course, just refrigerated. There was also at least twenty bags of marshmallows, three packets of Hershey's Chocolate, and six boxes of graham crackers. And if that wasn't enough, Maddie also pulled out two things of Gatorade, assorted sodas, and three large tank jugs of water. He'd brought out a full on buffet for the group...and himself.
"Wow, you sure don't kid around with food, Maddie." Nikki joked, tapping his shoulder. Tho which he replied with a proud smirk and a shake of the head.
And with that, they all grabbed something to snack on or drink, even grabbing a stick to put the meat over the fire. Yes, Maddie had even brought the sticks. He was definitely prepared.
"See, now isn't this great guys?" Peter offered with an optimistic smile.
"It's great."
"Mm-hmm!"
"So what do we do now," Frankie joked, fiddling with an arrowhead. There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but it was held back some. "Are we gonna sing kumbaya or something?"
"Heh, well that's a thought."
"Yeah, no thanks. I'm goin' in." The young Barton stood from his seat in a log and began walk away to the Compound when Jamie looked to the fangirl of the group.
"Uh, Kamala, could you please..?" He motioned to Frankie and she got the message. Stretching her arm out, she reached over the distance he'd walked, grabbed Frankie by the collar of his coat and lifted him up as she pulled him back over to the group.
He squirmed a little while in the air before being sat back down to his spot on the log. "Hey, what gives, Stretch?!"
Kamala cheekily shrugged as her arm retracted back to normal and she leaned back in her lawn chair proudly.
