This is a camping trip story with the Hermits in Season 8 of Hermitcraft, with all of them being high schoolers aside from TFC, the really cool bus driver. Not much more to say, other than if you like fun chaos, nature, and all of the hermits in one...
Resting on the old moss covered benches was relaxing. It creaked under his weight, but the knowledge that the bench hadn't given up yet, so it won't break now, was comforting, and something to distract the leader's mind.
Xisuma was having fun, he really was! But with hermits separating on the trail, so many people to keep track of by himself, and a trail map that seemed to be the slightest bit more outdated than he thought, the stress was starting to get to him.
"Hey X, you alright?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm alright." He looked up to see who was talking to him. "How are you Mumbo?"
"I'm good X- but if you need a second I can-"
"It's quite alright, what were you going to ask? I assume you're here to-..." Xisuma trailed off.
"We were wondering when we're continuing the trail? It's been 15-ish minutes and you said the second half was longer, and we just don't want to get back when it's dark."
"Oh- I must've lost track of time." Xisuma mentally slapped himself. "Thanks for reminding me, we should continue now."
Xisuma shook his head and stood up. It seemed like everyone was there as he scanned faces and heads, but he should probably still do a head count-
"We already counted everyone." Mumbo said. "Uh- you looked tired, so Grian stole a sheet of paper from your clipboard while you were closing your eyes, and uh- everyones here, safe, and alive."
Xisuma wanted to be a tad bit annoyed, since they had stolen his things and subtly hinted that he wasn't capable enough to handle all of this himself-
But one look at the sort of awkward Mumbo holding out the stolen sheet, just trying to help with some of the load, Xisuma smiled and nodded.
"Thank you. Let's get on with this hike shall we?"
Keralis grabbed Bdubs arms and dragged him along with the moving mass.
"You're sticking with me this time. There were so many opportunities for good pictures and you missed them on the way up! Can't let that happen again." Keralis said firmly.
"I'm trying to get a good photo of every hermit actually; Wanna see a cool one of Etho." Bdubs asked.
Keralis gasped and his eyes went even wider than they were normally. "You actually got one of Etho!?"
"He didn't notice until it was too late." Bdubs smirked, and pulled out his camera to show it.

"That's amazing Bubbles! You have to get one that good of me someday." Keralis said sincerely and looked into Bdubs eyes. Bdubs paused, with his breath stuck in his throat as he looked at his grinning friend.
