The next morning, the siblings woke up to the sounds of birds chirping and the soft rustle of leaves. After a hearty breakfast made in their van's kitchen, they decided to explore the nearby trails of the national park.

As they walked along the path, Y/N happily skipped ahead, admiring the flowers and trying to spot wildlife. Nick, Chris, and Matt followed closely, enjoying the serene beauty of the forest.

Suddenly, Y/N froze in her tracks. She had spotted something small and green hopping on the trail in front of her. It was a frog, and though harmless, it startled her.

"Ahh!" Y/N screamed, jumping back and instinctively leaping towards Matt. She clung to him, her eyes wide with fear.

Matt caught her, his arms wrapping around her protectively. "Hey, hey, it’s okay, Y/N. It’s just a frog," he said, trying to soothe her.

Nick and Chris hurried over, concern etched on their faces. "What happened?" Nick asked, looking around for any danger.

Chris spotted the frog and chuckled. "Looks like Y/N found a new friend."

Y/N peeked over Matt's shoulder, still holding onto him tightly. "It scared me," she admitted, her voice trembling slightly.

Matt gave her a reassuring smile. "It’s alright, Y/N. Frogs are harmless. Look, it’s already hopping away."

They all watched as the frog disappeared into the underbrush, and Y/N slowly relaxed, feeling a bit embarrassed about her reaction.

"Sorry, I didn’t mean to freak out," she said softly, still clinging to Matt.

Nick ruffled her hair playfully. "No worries, Y/N. Everyone gets scared sometimes."

Chris nodded. "Yeah, and that’s what we’re here for – to help each other out."

Y/N smiled, feeling grateful for her brothers' support. "Thanks, guys."

They continued their hike, with Y/N staying close to Matt, who kept an eye out for any more surprise frogs. As they walked, Nick and Chris took the opportunity to point out interesting plants and animals, turning the hike into a fun learning experience.

Eventually, they reached a beautiful clearing with a small stream running through it. They decided to take a break and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Y/N, now feeling much more at ease, played by the water’s edge, skipping stones with Matt while Nick and Chris lounged on the grass.

As the sun began to set, they headed back to their van, tired but happy from their day of adventure. They cooked dinner together and sat around the campfire once more, sharing stories and laughing about the day’s events.

That night, as they settled into the cozy beds in their luxurious van, Y/N hugged Matt tightly. "Thanks for always being there for me, Matt."

Matt hugged her back, a warm smile on his face. "Always, Y/N. You’re my little sister, and I’ll always protect you."

Nick and Chris, already tucked into their beds, chimed in. "We’ve all got your back, Y/N," Nick said.
