Cole set the tent on the ground and stretched. " Well, this is nice."

Kai and Jay gave him a look.

" Buddy, do you even remember HOW we found out we were camping?" Kai asked, crossing his arms.

Cole laughed nervously. " Okay, maybe Mia squishing us into a tent while we're sleeping, to find us coodled up to each other isn't the BEST way. But, it woke us up!"

" Yeah, screaming bloody murder."  Jay replied, sarcasticly.

One peaceful night, Cole, Kai, and Jay were fast asleep, each in their own beds, enjoying the rare moment of tranquility. However, in the blink of an eye, they found themselves squeezed into a small, cramped tent, hugging each other tightly. They woke up simultaneously, their eyes wide with shock and confusion.

"Ew! Get off me!" Jay yelped, trying to disentangle himself from the pile.

"Why are we hugging?!" Cole exclaimed, pushing away.

Kai scrambled to his feet, his face a mix of annoyance and bewilderment. "What's going on?"

As they sat up and took in their surroundings, they realized they were in the middle of a camp-themed setup. The tent was filled with sleeping bags, lanterns, and the distinct smell of pine trees wafted through the air. It was then that they noticed a neatly folded letter lying in the middle of the tent.

Jay picked up the letter and groaned. "It's from Mia."

Cole and Kai sighed in unison as Jay unfolded the letter and began to read aloud:

"Dear Cole, Kai, and Jay,

Welcome to my latest creation: Camp Mia Escape Room! I hope you enjoyed your surprise wake-up call. This camp-themed adventure will test your survival skills, teamwork, and wits. Remember, you can only escape if you solve all the puzzles and challenges I've set up for you. Good luck, and have fun!

P.S. No complaining! ;)

Love, Mia"

Cole dropped his head into his hands. "Why does she keep doing this to us?"

Kai shook his head, chuckling despite himself. "She's relentless. But I have to admit, she keeps things interesting."

Jay folded the letter back up and sighed. "Let's just get this over with. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get back to our beds."

Their first challenge was to put up a tent. They stared at the pile of poles, stakes, and fabric in front of them, feeling a wave of uncertainty wash over them.

"Great," Jay muttered, picking up a tent pole and examining it with confusion. "None of us have ever been camping before. How are we supposed to do this?"

Cole sighed, scratching his head. "I guess we just... follow the instructions?" He looked around but saw no instruction manual in sight.

Kai unfolded the tent fabric, which immediately got tangled with the poles. "This is already a disaster."

They spent the next few minutes fumbling with the tent pieces, trying to figure out which pole went where. It was clear that their ninja training hadn't prepared them for this particular challenge.

"Okay, let's try this," Jay suggested, holding up two poles that seemed to fit together. "Maybe if we connect these..."

Cole attempted to drive a stake into the ground, only to hit a rock and send it flying. "Oops."

Kai, holding up the tent fabric, tripped over another stake, causing the entire thing to collapse in a heap. "This is impossible!"

As they continued their struggle, Jay spotted a clue on the ground. It was a piece of paper with a diagram of the tent setup. "Hey, look! A diagram! This should help."
