Day and Brick were in Kanchanaburi with their two sons, living a peaceful life.  Day would sometimes go to shops, sometimes take Brick and the children to the mall, sometimes for walks in the park.  Then came the day they were going to Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall. Brick knew Pom had prepared all the equipment, as they were going camping as usual. Brick also knew that Phai, Bank, Ingfah, Pom, and Belle would be joining them, just like last time.

"Everything's loaded in the car, ready to go," Pom said, smiling.  The journey was much like before; they had three cars. Day and Brick had already secured Ob and Anda in their car seats.

"This time it's further than last time.  Hopefully, our kids won't get fussy," Brick said, smiling.  Looking at the back seat, he saw his two sons were still bright-eyed. Day smiled slightly before driving off. When they reached a gas station, Brick assumed Day was stopping to fill up, but he frowned when he saw a familiar group of people chatting in the parking lot near the coffee shop and convenience store.

"Wait a minute, why do those people look like Gear and Night?" Brick said, questioning. His eyes widened as Day parked nearby.

"Hey, how did they get here?  When did they arrive?" Brick exclaimed, turning to Day.  Seeing the smirk on Day's face, Brick knew Day must know everything.

"Go ask them," Day said.  Brick immediately got out of the car.

"Where are my nephews?" Nan asked, looking for the kids.

"Before you see my sons, tell me why you all gathered here like this!" Brick asked, genuinely curious.  The group in front of him was none other than Nan, Mac, Gear, Night, Neil, Nick, Kan, Beam, Pat, and Miles.

"It's not just them.  Mr Roman, Keith, Khomol, Kim, Khom, and Baiboon are in the coffee shop," Nan said, leaving Brick completely stunned.

"Actually, others wanted to come too, but they were busy or couldn't make it.  Who told Day to invite everyone so suddenly?  Fu and Not are out of town and won't be back in time.  Disco and Jump, Jim and Danny also wanted to come, but couldn't fly out during this time.  And then there's Four and Gus," Neil added.

"Wai and Atip wanted to come too, but Atip's mother is sick, so they couldn't.  And Sage took Frog to Taiwan the day before yesterday," Nan replied.

"P'Audi and Plon have to look at a house in Bangkok; they have an appointment with the contractor and can't reschedule," Beam chimed in.

"There are many others who wanted to come but couldn't," Nick said, smiling.

"And what gave you the idea to get together?" Brick was still puzzled.

"Nothing in particular; we just wanted to come along. Day said he wanted to bring the kids to places with good memories for him and Brick, so he asked if anyone wanted to join. I didn't know so many others would come too," Miles said, smiling.

"And this is even with some people missing, Miles," Brick said, smiling.  Just then, Belle walked in carrying Anda, having taken him out of the car seat, and Day came in with Ob.

"Dadddd!" Ob saw Roman walking out of the coffee shop and ran to him. Roman smiled slightly before picking Ob up.  Day's group had become huge; Roman's people also came, five of them. Brick roughly counted, including the three children, their group was about thirty people.

"I thought this was a tour group," Brick said slowly.

"Keith, is Mr Roman staying overnight?" Brick asked Keith, because it seemed he was the only one unaware of who was coming. Day probably knew everyone.

"Of course, he is.  Initially, he was going to bring his RV, but I asked him to sleep in a tent like everyone else. He was fine with it.  We have tons of amenities; you could say we bought a whole new set. It's like we brought a resort with us," Keith said, smiling.
