Brunch Part 1: Cody is Stupid

The campers slept through the night peacefully. It was as if some benevolent deity had finally granted them the gift of relaxation on Camp Wawan- I mean, Yaoinakwa.

It came to an abrupt ending, however, when Chris and Chef started driving their hot pink convertible around the two cabins in a figure 8, blaring Queen Essentials.

"Wakey wakey, my fruity babies! YEOW!" yelled Chris with a megaphone. The campers drearily came out of the cabins. "I let y'all sleep in late today. It's 9:30!"

"What's the challenge?" yawned Trent.

"Your first challenge comes in two parts. Don't worry, they're pretty lowkey." said Chris, turning off the megaphone. Chef stopped the car and they stepped out. "The first part is simple: you and your parter/partners have to prepare brunch."

"What's the catch?" asked Noah.

"Nothing. That's the whole challenge." said Chris. "I told you this would be lowkey! I'm feeling nice today! Now hop to it."

The campers rushed to Chef's kitchen.

"Oh... I know what the catch is." said Heather upon arrival. "All of Chef's ingredients SUCK!"

"That... makes sense." said Lindsay. "Hey, Heather?"

"What?"

"I know we've had our differences in the past, but neither of us want to be here, so whaddya say we team up? For real?"

Heather pondered for a second. "Alright. Deal."

Lindsay smiled. "Yay! Now that you've agreed, I can show you the recipe my cousin 90 times removed used to make before he got testicular cancer and died!"

Noah, who had been listening to their conversation, decided to tune them out after that part. He turned to Cody.

"So, uh... what do you even make for brunch?" Cody asked.

"Oh. I think it would just be... breakfast and lunch stuff."

"Breakfast and lunch? You could call that brunch!"

Noah stared at him for a second.

"Oh, right. Anyway. Let's try to do something easy then."

After rummaging through the cabinets and fridge, all of the teams were able to find something that was at least semi-edible. Noah and Cody found some bread with only one moldy slice, and were going to make french toast.

"Hey, I have an idea," said Noah. "What if we went over the top and made our own syrup for this?"

"We could probably make it from the trees outside!" said Cody. "I can go get some, you stay here and do the prepping."

Noah nodded. Cody rushed out of the kitchen and into the nearby woods.

Wait a second, he thought. I actually have no idea how to get syrup from a tree. Is it just... sap??? Probably.

Cody walked up to a tree and removed some of the bark. Underneath was a good layer of sap. He used his fingers to scoop some of it off. This wasn't the best way to get it, but there weren't a lot of options.

As he was about to walk away, Cody saw a few small green apples on the ground. He would've done a little jig and said 'yippee', but that would be a little weird, so instead he just picked them up and carried them back into the kitchen.

Noah had finished making the toast. All that was left were garnishments, which Cody brought over just in time.

"Here, I found some apples!" said Cody. "And, uh... the sap is kinda all over my fingers. I'm not sure what to do with it."

"Oh. Wait..." Noah looked at his hand. The sap was a milky white color. "Cody, what kind of tree did you get this from?"

He shrugged.

"I think that sap is poisonous."

Cody frowned. "That's not good. Eh, I'll be fine if I just wash it off."

He stuck his hand under the sink faucet and rinsed it. The sap came off, but left behind burned and blistering fingers.

"OWWWWWW OH GOD OW THAT HURTS LIKE A BITCH AHHHHH I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF" screamed Cody. The rest of the campers stared at him and Noah.

Noah realized how absolutely stupid Cody was. There was not a single functioning braincell floating around in there. Unfortunately, he also found that endearing in a man.

He sighed and pulled a chunk of frozen... something out of the freezer. 

"Here," he said, giving it to Cody. He put it on his burning hand.

"Oh, that's slightly less agonizing. Thanks dude!"

"Mhm." Noah turned back to the counter and cut up the apples Cody brought in. They were probably also poisonous, but they weren't the ones eating it, so he didn't care.
