Hana was playing checkers with Nico when Robert walked in, "We're going camping."

Amy, who was eating udon, looks up, "Am I being punished?"

Robert was confused, "No–"

"Am I being punished?" Tina asked, emphasizing the "I."

"No," Robert sat down beside Tina, "no one's being punished. I thought this might be a fun family activity we could do. Hana, you like camping, right ?"

Hana looks at her father, "No."

"And I spent time out in the woods," Nico interjects, "I don't wanna go back."

"Oh," Robert pleads, "we could be one with nature."

Tina sighs, "Fine. Girls, it could be fun."

"After," Nico sarcastically says, "we could all sing, Kumbaya, around the campfire."

Amy adds, "We could be mauled by lions and tigers and bears!"

Hana smirks, "Oh, my!"

"Anyways, I can't." Amy sighs.

"Nirved still hasn't responded?" Hana asked, pity in her eyes.

"No," Amy replied, "you'd think after everything I did to be with him, he'd at least respond. Did I scare him?"

Tina responds, "I don't see how."

While Nico and Hana looked at each other. "No offense, mom," Amy looks at Tina, "but your opinion on guys does not really help."

Nico raised her eyebrow as Hana held Amy's hand, "You went above and beyond for love, which in this family seems normal, but to others, it's frightening."

Nico sighs and walks over to her sisters, "Good job, though, you actually changed history."

Amy looks up, "And why cross a time for someone who isn't willing to cross a puddle for you? So, he'll call, right?"

"Of course, he will." Hana responded.
