Spider-Man: Camp Cretaceous

Getting to know them

After taking about a dozen showers, Dadius and Kenji joined everyone else for a small campfire moment while they were eating. As they did so, Darius decided to try and tell a campfire story. He placed now hood up to try and make a better dramatic telling of the story. The only one who wasn't around was Yazmania who was off on her own.

"We thought it'd be fun." Darius began while the fire began crackling. "We thought we'd be safe, but we didn't realize the horror waiting for us on the island. Claws. Teeth. Screaming." Sammy gasped. "So much screaming."

"How much screaming?" Ben asked, seemingly becoming afraid, clinging to Peter who let the kid do so.

"Shh!" Kenji said. "He's getting to the good part."

"The T-rex stalked closer." Darius continued. "Her jaws opened wide." Then a camera shutter clicks. "What?"

"What? Huh?" Kenji asks, everyone begins looking to see if it came from Brooklynn.

"For the vlog," Brooklynn explained. "Keep telling your little story."

Darius sighed as he placed his hood back up. "Oh, here we go," Kenji said.

"The T-rex sta-"

"Dang!" Brooklynn groaned as her phone stopped. "Ugh! Out of space. Wait, I'm sorry, hold on. I just don't wanna delete my selfie on Everest, you know?"

"You didn't think to clear your phone before coming here?" Peter asked her. "I didn't even bring my phone and I still did that."

"Ooh!" Sammy said, looking at the photo of her on Everest.

"Maybe I should start over." Darius sighed.

Ben cried out in terror. "No! In fact, you can just stop."

"Dude, chill. He's not even telling the story right now." Kenji stated.

Peter felt Ben grip his arm tighter. "And how is your grip this strong?" He lightly pulled Ben off of him. "Like... wow."

"So, the T-rex stalked-"

"Shouldn't we call Yasmina over?" Sammy asked, looking to see Yaz leaning on the railing with some sort of book. "I bet she'd love this story."

"I think she wants to be by herself," Peter said, seeing she was more introverted than outgoing.

"I don't understand," Sammy tells him with a blank expression.

Peter wasn't sure how much more obvious he could make this to her. "Okay... someone else wanna try to explain this?"

"You know how sometimes people just wanna be left alone?" Kenji tried to explain.

That only got Sammy to burst out into laughter. "Kenji, you're hilarious!" She then looked back to Yaz. "I think she's just shy and doesn't know how to make camp friends."

Before anyone else could try to explain, there was a sudden thunder strike, getting them to look up and see a storm was starting. The rain began to pour down on them as they all stood up.

"Maybe we should go inside," Sammy said, covering her head.

Ben was already running past, heading inside. "Way ahead of you!"

Everyone else was quick to follow, heading inside. "Hurry!"

"Aw, man!"

"Oh, it's coming down fast."

"Well, that was a waste of time."

Darius leaned down on the bench and sighed. "Thanks, Brooklynn."

"I wouldn't take it personally, man," Peter said, spooking Darius back to sit up when he saw Peter was still there. "Brooklynn seems to be the kind of girl that likes to share with the world."
