❝ CAMPING TRIP ❞

Another bright and sunny late summer day had just begun, filling the forest with rays of light through the thin branches and thick bundles of leaves. The smell of summer heat and fresh grass, as well as the sound of singing birds and a gentle breeze passing through the leaves filled the air.

Gummy, Kala, Harry and (Y/n) were heading up the steady hill that ran through the forest, on their way to spending the night surrounded by fresh grass and peaceful trees.

Kala lead the group across the leaning area of land, passion and excitement in her eyes and expression.

"Aaahh... nature! This is gonna be amazing!"

"I'm sure it will be, once I get a chance to actually see it..." Gummy complained, hunched over and struggling to climb the hill with a large, heavy backpack pressed against his back with its weight.

"Yeah, well, nature's fine and dandy, but I've always kind of liked my own bed, and my own sheets, and my own pillow, and my own..." Harry rambled on, steadily pacing up the hill behind Gummy.

(Y/n) rolled her (e/c) eyes behind Harry. "We get it, you like staying home... but I think this will be a great experience for all of us!" She tried to add positivity to her friends' complaints.

The collection of trees that created the forest began to decrease as the four friends reached the open field that they were heading towards.

Kala stopped as the open land came into her view. She plopped her backpack onto the grass, turning to face her friends.

"OK troop, this looks like a perfect spot."

Gummy, Harry and (Y/n) eventually caught up to Kala at the open land on the top of the hill, jaws dropping as the landscape came into view.

They were greeted with a circle of tall pine trees surrounding the unfolded landscape, with large, rocky mountains in the far distance. Fluffy white clouds surrounded the bright blue sky, with a variety of small birds flying through.

Gummy gasped, plopping his backpack onto the ground while admiring the view. "Wow! This really is fantastic!"

Harry leant against his backpack, taking in the atmosphere. "Except I think somebody forgot to install the plumbing, and electricity and WiFi and-"

Kala's expression became frustrated with Harry's constant complaining. "Enough with the belly aching!" She snapped, cutting his long string of complaints.

"How about we get our tents set up?" (Y/n) tried to lighten the mood.

Kala groaned, taking the tents from the backpack Gummy struggled to lift up the hill. "I'll set up the girl's one."

She pulled a rolled up piece of bright yellow material with a long stick. She tossed another pink tent towards Gummy and Harry, with it landing just by their feet.

"Gummy and Harry, do you need help with yours?" (Y/n) asked, while watching her sister aggressively assembling their tent.

Gummy and Harry began to smile. "Us? Needing help setting up a tent!?" They asked rhetorically, glancing towards each other and chuckling.

(Y/n) giggled, rolling her eyes and turning her attention back to her sister.

After successfully assembling their tent, Kala and (Y/n) watched Gummy and Harry with sighs and shaking heads.

Gummy struggled on the left side of the tent, failing to construct it in the correct way. Harry tugged onto the pole attached to the right side.
