Camp Cretaceous (Darius X Brooklynn)

Chapter Seventeen

Lesssss gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Okay, I'm done now. Everyone stay home, stay safe.

Kenji had led everyone through the Jungle for a while now. Finally, after a lot of walking and panting, they come to a gondola. Kenji gives a very dramatic pose. "Welcome to Lookout Point!" Everyone sees that the gondola leads up further on the mountain. Kenji realizes he celebrated too early. "Actually, Lookout Point is up THERE, but you guys get the gist of it. With the sky gondola down, it's going to be a one to five day trek. That's gonna be a problem."

Yasmina scoffs and starts stretching. "Please. That'll take me an hour."

Brooklynn speaks up. "Great. I'll meet you at the top." The pink haired girl had gotten behind the control panel and pressed a button that made the gondola move. She smirked in triumph.

"Sky gondola." Kenji said. "Solar powered. I forgot." Yaz's glare at him got more intense. So, he did the only thing that would get him out of it. "Last one up is the last one up!"

"I call shotgun!" Sammy shouted and raced after him. The two got into the glass bowl before anybody else. Kenji and Sammy then put their fingers into an L shape and stuck their tongues out at the others, relishing that they would be the first ones up.

Brooklynn and Yaz rolled their eyes. Darius joined in waiting with them. The tension was already building up pretty fast though. "Brooklynn." Yaz greeted.

"I guess the three of us are gonna ride together." Brooklynn said.

Yaz gave a lighthearted "Yay."

Darius saw that Ben wasn't with them. "You good Ben?" he asked.

Ben, who was walking down with Bumpy called out, "You guys go ahead. I'm gonna stay down here."

"Okay. Radio us if you need anything." Darius told him. His head was telling him to stay with him, but he was already in the gondola with the girls. Here we go. The ride up was quiet. On the surface, that's a good thing, but at the same time, it just built the tension. They were about half way up when they heard some sort of screaming ahead of them. The three teens turned and saw that Sammy and Kenji were moving the bowl back and forth. After watching for a minute, Darius said, "If they fall, I'm going to be so pissed."

They sat back down, and Brooklynn tried to be nice. "So, Yaz. We don't talk much, so what do you like to do for fun?"

"Don't really have a lot of time for fun." Yasmina said. "Always competing, on the road."

"Right right." Brooklynn nodded. "Totally relate."

Yaz gave her a glance. "Really? You know what it's like to spend five hours in the gym four days a week?"

Brooklynn chuckled. "I WISH my job took five hours."

"Yeah, I'm sure it's difficult to be paid to go places and take pictures on your phone." Yaz countered sarcastically.

Brooklynn glared before saying, "Actually, it is. Ever try to hold a phone steady while climbing a glacier in Greenland?" Darius was actually impressed at that. He had a hard time climbing the dried up water fall a few... Weeks? Months ago? Time was funny on Nublar.

"No." Yasmina's voice brings him back to reality. "I was too busy running four and a half minute miles."

He was going to lose it if he heard any more. "God, you two arguing is like watching two guys in the locker room fighting over who is bigger. Can you PLEASE stop?"
