 Today was the day the hermits would be going on a camping trip. It was meant to be sort of like a social experiment, seeing how well highschoolers could perform working together in the wilderness. They agreed to go to Xisumavoid's house to get everything organized, because he usually knew best and meeting at the school would be too confusing. He also had prepared extra gear for everyone, knowing they wouldn't have thought to bring it themselves.

Right, this shouldn't be too bad. He thought to himself. We'll be in and out in no time, we're just here to pick up extra gear for everyone.

Boy was he wrong.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT NOISE??!" Doc yelled from the basement as Etho, Grian, Tango, and Bdubs loudly broke ice with hammers so it would fit in their water bottles.

"W-where did you even get those?!" The class president, Xisuma, stammered as he stood in the kitchen where they were. Impulse was chasing Zedaph who was running off with his flashlight, ZomebieCleo was touching Xisuma's guitar, Keralis was singing, Cubfan was analyzing a banana, Falsesymmetry and GeminiTay were sparing with cardboard tubes, Doc was yelling at the four idiots loudly breaking ice with hammers that they probably shouldn't have as Ren shielded his sensitive ears from the loud and annoying noise, Pearl recorded everything that was happening, and more.

The highschoolers were screaming and running left right and center with things that weren't their own. The axolotl lover was starting to regret his decision of letting them in his house when his parents were away at work. Hopefully this would all be over soon, and they could sit in the bus in silence as they drove to the campsite.

"WOULD YOU GUYS STOP IT WITH THE RACKET UP THERE?!" Docm yelled from the basement.

"NOPE!" Bdubs yelled back, as he and the others continued to smash ice with hammers. Sure, it was loud, but that wasn't their fault, was it?

Soon enough, the tall creeper hybrid came storming up the stairs to confront Bdubs, leaving Ren to do whatever in the basement.

"Why didn't you get ice at your own house??"

"This house has better ice, hammers that I have access to, and friends to do it with!-" Bdubs answered poorly, not really sure how to respond.

"Well it's annoying me and hurting Ren's ears greatly, so if you could take it outside, I won't have a reason to shut this down myself!" Doc shouted.

"Okay, well luckily for you, we're gonna be wrapping this up shortly." Bdubs lied.

"Who said we were wrapping this up?" Tango laughed through his words from the other side of the kitchen, continuing to carelessly smash ice on the cutting board.

Bdubs shot Tango a glare that got him to stop talking, then looked back up at Doc with a passive-aggressive smile.

"Okay, that's it."

And at that, Doc took Bdubs water bottle and ran back down to the basement, shutting the door behind him and blocking it with his body.

"What was that about-?" Rendog asked, shifting his gaze from a supplies box he was rummaging through to see if there was anything useful in it.

The creeper just chuckled and held up the water bottle he stole.

"Dude, Bdubs is gonna kill you if you don't give it back," Ren said, trying to hold back his laughter.

"I'll give it back when he deserves it. For now," He started, raising his voice as he knew Bdubs was trying to open the door from the other side. "He'll have to wait until we get on the bus!"
