All Summer Long

Tracy had seen a couple of campers go into the woods earlier, so she decided to check in on them. As she walked, she could hear distant voices. She finally reached the clearing where the Hanging Tree was.

She saw Ziggy, Sheila, Carol, and Will. Sheila was yelling at Ziggy as Will and Carol stood by the tree, waiting for their friend. Ziggy threw her hands up into the air, clearly arguing with Sheila. 

"Hey!" Tracy yelled as she approached them. Sheila stopped dead in her tracks after hearing Tracy's voice.

"What are you two arguing about?" Tracy asked. "Ziggy almost dropped my clothes into the lake while they were drying off," Sheila said.

"How did she do that?" Tracy questioned. "She picked them up and threw them into the air, almost making them fly into the lake!" Shelia responded.

"Well, clearly it was an accident. Right, Ziggy?" Ziggy was surprised to hear her name called. "Yeah. It was just an accident. I was trying to throw them up on the sign so they could dry," She explained.

Sheila glared. "Now that this is settled, you two can say sorry and head back to camp," Tracy said, walking away.

"Hey Joan!" Kurt said. "Hey! Mind if I sit?" Asked Joan. She had found Kurt sitting in the mess hall fixing a sign for the art cabin. 

"Kurt patted the place next to him. Joan sat. "Whatcha up to?" Kurt asked her. "Nothing much. I saw you in here and I thought I'd come and hang out. You looked pretty lonely," She said.

"Kind of am. I'm fixing this sign. Will you grab me the hammer?" He asked. Joan nodded and grabbed the hammer. Kurt held the nail ad he slammed the hammer into it.

As time flew by, the two spent more time together, giggling about nonsense, completely oblivious to the fact that Cindy and Tracy were looking for them.

Tracy opened the door to the mess hall and found the two sitting together. "There you are! We've been looking for you for forever!" She said.

"Sorry Tracy. We were fixing this sign together," said Joan. "It's alright. Come help us gather up the campers. We need to get the age groups sorted out for next week," Tracy said.

"Hey Tracy!" Said Cindy. "Hey. I just came to thank you for the advice. It's helped me and Tommy a lot," Tracy said. "No problem. I'm always here if you need any more help," Cindy said.

"Thanks. I have all the food prepared, but will you get the cups out? If you do, you don't have to do dishes tonight," Tracy said. Cindy laughed and nodded. The two left to get ready for dinner.
