Chapter 45

"Guys, chill," Lorelei says. She removes Emily's arm from her arm, which causes Emily to sigh. "We'll provide transportation, or in other words... The state will, we can just take a train there and walk to the campsite. It's only a two hour hike, so it isn't that bad. I'm thinking about next week, and it'll only be for two nights." Aubrey raises her hand, and Lorelei rolls her eyes. "Yes, there will be wifi. Do not worry."

"Are there bathrooms? Will we have to do our business in... A drop toilet?"

"Abigail, there is a bathroom. We will have to cook our own food, but if you all listen to my instructions I'm sure everything will go well."

-- ------ --

"No guys, that isn't how you apply the waterproof tarp!" Lorelei, our camping expert yelled. "You're supposed to hook it into the ground, not the tent-"

Alice, who was inside of the tent that Aubrey was attempting to put the tarp on ends up tripping over one of the pins in the ground. She undo's it, and the tent falls apart onto an unsuspecting Alice.

"GAH!" Alice yelps, struggling around underneath the layers. Aubrey attempts to help her out, and we end up spending thirty minutes untangling Alice from the tent.

We were all tired from the two hour hike to the campsite. We encountered a snake on the way, which Abigail scared off with her singing. This was probably the only situation Emily was okay with her singing about Harry Potter, even if it was banned for this trip.

Our limbs were sore and aching, yet somehow Lorelei was perfectly fine. Everybody's tent, except for Alice and Aubrey's, had been set up. This is because Aubrey takes two minute breaks to watch edits of anime boys, and Alice has no idea what she's doing. Lorelei is too busy setting up our cooking stations, and there is a very big thunderstorm approaching.

"AUBREY!" Alice shrieks, holding up the waterproof tarp. "IF YOU DO NOT HELP ME PUT THIS ON RIGHT THIS INSTANT, WE WILL BE SOAKED AND DROWN."

Aubrey dismisses this with a wave of her hand. "Eh, I'll be fine just as long as the wifi is-" Her eyes widen, and she visibly starts to shrink, shaken. "THE WIFI JUST GOT CUT OFF! AND WE'RE TOO FAR OUT FOR MY PHONE TO PICK UP ANY SERVICE! HOW WILL I SURVIVE WITHOUT MY ANIME BOYFRIENDS!?"

"Boyfriends?!" Jolene sputters, "as in plural?!"

Lorelei stomps back to camp. "Alright guys, basically the wifi got cut because the electricity got cut. The thunderstorm that is approaching us destroyed the power line. But, anyways, Aubrey - get off your ass and apply your waterproof tarp or otherwise you'll die in your sleep."

"I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!" Aubrey complains, "KILL ME! MY LIFE IS ALREADY TOO CRUEL WITHOUT MY ANIME BOYFRIEND NUMBER FIFTY-SEVEN, SHOTO TODORO-"

"HOW DO YOU HAVE FIFTY SEVEN BOYFRIENDS?!" Jolene cries, "AND HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY LIKE THAT ANY ANIME CHARACTERS AT ONCE?! ALSO, AREN'T YOU LOYAL TO LEVI OR SOMETHING?!"

"HE IS MY ANIME BOYFRIEND NUMBER TWO, DON'T WORRY, HE IS PLENTY LOVED." Aubrey spat.

"Why are we shouting?" Abigail absentmindedly asked, but the two both ignored her.

"Who's number one?" I asked in curiosity.

"The first one is... Drumroll please, ERE-"

"GUYS GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES AND PUT UP THE WATERPROOF TARP!" Lorelei booms. Aubrey scowls, runs off to steal the tarp from Alice - and surprisingly puts it up in less than a minute. Everybody is astounded by her camping skills.

"How are you so good at that?" Alice whined, "you let me struggle with it for over an hour!"

Aubrey suddenly looks very tired, and drained. She sits on a rock, wearily looking at us. "You see, I am just like Mikasa from Attack on Titan. When she doesn't get her daily dose of Eren, she fails. The same applies to me, when I do not get my daily dose of my one hundred and twenty four anime boyfriends every three minutes, my cerebrum starts to deplete in function."

I am surprised she even knows what the word cerebrum means.

"Do you guys want to eat something?" Abigail asks, rubbing her stomach. "I am very hungry, why hasn't anybody made dinner yet?"

Smoke bursts out of Lorelei's ears. "BECAUSE YOU KEPT ON DUMPING THE GAS FOR THE FIRE IN A TREE STUMP!"

"Does that mean that if I light a tree stump on fire, it'll cause a forest fire?"

"Yes," Jolene honestly replies. "It does, why? Oh no, don't do it-"

"I WILL BURN DOWN THE FOREST JUST LIKE HOW TO DIRECTOR IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE WANTED TO BURN DOWN THE FORBIDDEN FOREST! HAHA SUCKERS, GUESS WHAT? I'M VOLDEMORT, AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Lorelei restrains Abigail as she tries to wriggle out of her arms. I watch the scene in pain, rubbing my calves.

"Anyways, what do you guys want for dinner?" Emily asks, ignoring the pair.

"Wait... You aren't going to stop them?"

Emily shrugs. "I mean, it's not like I even like Lorelei and I have that close of a relationship anyways..." She shoots an angered glance at Lorelei, who has now stopped fighting to stare back at Emily.

"OH MY FUCKING GOD!" Alice bursts out in anger, "YOU TWO LIKE EACH OTHER. FOR GOD'S SAKE IT SO SO OBVIOUS!"

"What? Really?" Abigail exclaims, "I didn't know that."

"THAT'S BECAUSE YOUR IQ IS LITERALLY SIXTY!" Alice screams.

"No it's not! My IQ is actually one hundred and fifteen! I am very smart!" She declared, her hand on the right side of her chest. I think she's trying to do the soldier salute from Attack on Titan, but she's got it the wrong way.

"YOUR HAND GOES ON THE OTHER SIDE YOU DUMBASS! AND YOUR IQ IS NOT THAT HIGH!"

"I'M SMART!"

"WHAT'S TWENTY SEVEN TIMES THIRTY SEVEN?" Alice spat. Aubrey thinks for a moment.

"Uh... I'm not a fucking calculator but... Is it four thousand and-"

"JASMINE!" Aubrey barked, and my ears perked up. "WHAT IS IT?"

I think for a moment. It's one hundred and eighty nine, adding eight hundred and ten. And that equals to nine hundred and ninety nine.

"Nine hundred and ninety nine."

"SEE? YOU AREN'T THAT SMART!"

"SHUT UP!"
