Diavolo stood outside a Chinese restaurant in Mürren, Switzerland, waiting for Doppio, who was in the bathroom. They were surprised such a restaurant was there, but the food was delicious and cheap. After waiting a few minutes, Doppio met with him.

"Sorry, boss," he apologized with a smile. "I guess I ate a lot."

"No need to apologize. We'll burn it off on our hike." Diavolo grabbed his hand, taking him to the mountains.

"Wait, we're not going to sit down and relax?" Doppio panicked. "I think that'll be too much activity for me! I might throw up!"

"If you want, we could get on the funicular. We'd still need to walk there."

Doppio sighed. "Why couldn't they make this place bigger for cars?"

"I think this place is better without cars."

The two walked to the funicular, which headed to Allmendubel. A few people accompanied them while the ride took them there.

"So, boss, where are we going in Allmendubel?"

"I want us to head to the Sprutz Waterfall using the Northface Trail."

Doppio got excited for a few seconds but then died down, recalling something from before they planned their trip to Switzerland. If he remembered correctly, the hike takes about two hours and 30 minutes. "Um, are we even prepared for a hike this long?"

Diavolo took out his small Gucci backpack, bringing out two bottles of water and sunscreen since it was a lovely day for a hike. "Relax, we are well prepared. Besides, you didn't want to go up the mountain, correct? We'll be descending the mountain."

He doubted this would be enough to survive the trip. "When was the last time you were on a hike?" He didn't know why he asked that because they always spent time together.

"I was about to ask you that."

"Neither of us hiked before."

Before they continued their conversation, the funicular reached its destination. Diavolo, Doppio, and the other passengers got out.

"Boss, are you sure you don't want to return down? I'm feeling much better to ascend the mountain."

A twinkle was in Diavolo's eye, and he seemed fired up. "Nonsense! We're already up here. Let us make our way down to Mürren on foot!"

A spring breeze brushed against their skin. It felt refreshing to Doppio, but then he checked Diavolo's reaction and saw him shivering. "Boss?"

"Doppio, aren't you cold?"

"No, quite the opposite. It was hot in that funicular, and the breeze is refreshing. Um, should we head back down and buy you a shirt? I also want to buy some better shoes. These aren't made for hiking."

"No, Doppio! We're hiking this trail and looking fabulous while doing so! Come! We head downwards!"

-

The hike down the mountain was beautiful and scenic, and the scent of the meadows and pine trees was pleasant. Doppio had never seen grass this green nor such beautiful wildflowers. People walked past the couple, but animals, such as cows, accompanied them on their travel.

"Wow, look at these cows!" Doppio got close to one and petted its head. "So soft!"

"Ah!" Diavolo screamed while a cow chewed on his hair.

"Oh my gosh!" Doppio came to his rescue and tried to save each strand of hair. Unfortunately, slop covered his long luscious hair.

"I think I want to go home. Are we almost there yet?"

"Nope, but we're almost to the waterfall."

"Oh." He got quiet for a few seconds. "I need to poop."

"What?" Doppio turned to face him, but Diavolo wasn't there. "Boss? Where are you?"

"Doppio! Oh, Doppio!" he yelled. "I made a grave mistake!"

His voice sounded far away. "Boss!"

"Over here! Don't come close!"

Doppio followed the sound of his voice, heading into the pine forest. He could see him squatting behind a tree, smelled something unpleasant, and attempted to get close to him but stepped on a branch, causing Diavolo to make a panicked noise.

"Stop! Doppio, I forgot to bring toilet paper. I thought there would be a restroom on the hike, but there wasn't. I need you to take off your shirt."

"What? Uh, boss, I have the map, and the nearest restaurant is a few walks away."

Diavolo was silent for a few seconds. "Could you hand me the map?"

-

The pink-haired coupled continued their hike, making it to the trail that led to the waterfall.

"Finally, we are here!" Diavolo was in much higher spirits and rushed down the steep hill.

"Wait!" Doppio covered his mouth and watched as his boss tripped and rolled down. "Oh my gosh, boss!" He carefully went down the trail as quickly as he could. Diavolo made a groaning sound, and dirt covered his clothes. Doppio knelt next to him, checking for any cuts or scraps. "Are you going to be alright? I don't see any blood."

Diavolo slowly got up, brushed the dirt off, and sighed. "Doppio, I'm sorry about this little hiking trip. I didn't plan fully ahead."

Doppio got up, standing on his tippy toes, and tenderly kissed his lips. "No, it's my fault, boss. I was the one who overate at the restaurant and whined about walking around too much."

He embraced and held him closer. "My sweet Doppio, you know how to cheer me up. I want another kiss."

The two kissed again. Thankfully, they were alone and continued kissing for a while.

"Ugh, my shoes are dirty," Diavolo complained.

"My feet hurt," Doppio whined.

"Let's walk back. I can carry you back to the hotel if you want."

He giggled. "You would need to carry me up the slope. Don't worry. I'll keep walking until I'm tired, but could we hold hands on the way?"

Diavolo held his hand. "Of course. Did you enjoy the hike?"

"Of course! It's not that hot or cold out, and the view was wonderful. I was worried that you weren't enjoying it."

"I had fun too. Should we return to the Chinese restaurant for dinner, or do you want to try something different?"

"I don't know. We'll see once we get there."
