You stand up stretching and yawning. Today was a stressful and very tough day. Winter is approaching fast and you had just realized this morning that your wood supply is almost gone. So, Gabe and you have been felling trees all day and cutting them up. The logs then were transported to your cabin. After 10 long hours the wood pile was finally recovered and you were both exhausted. After putting the last big log on the pile you turn around and smiled at Gabe. "Finally! We are set." You say leaning against the wood. He is still standing there with the chainsaw in his hand smirking. "What?" You ask. He laughs and shakes his head, "nothin." You squint, Gabe Brown, what are you thinking, tell ME!" He just laughs harder and sets the chainsaw down. "No, you're going to have to catch me first!" He says taking off giggling. You sigh and sprint to catch up to him. His legs were longer, but he wasn't as fast as you. You catch up to him and tackle him to the ground. He continues to laugh uncontrollably. You sit on him and hold his arms down. He isn't even trying to resist. Whenever he starts to get in a laughing fit like this he won't stop. "Please tell me what you were about to say?!" He finally calms down and sighs. "Fine, get off me first." You climb off and he stands up getting in a wrestling stance. "If you can get me down again, I will tell you." You smirk, this will be fun. You circle him slowly waiting for the perfect moment. You suddenly lunge at his legs and push on him. He tries to grab you arms and pull you off. He is victorious in getting you off him. This only makes you more feisty.  You once again circle round to the front of him. You smile at him waiting for you to move. This time, you decide to go for his head. You run at him and get him in a neck hold. He struggles to remove your arm but can't. When he laughs he becomes weak and almost like jello. If you tickle him he can't do anything, his muscle turn to nothing. So he falls down not able to hold you up while laughing. You let go and sit on him again. "Ha ha! I am the winner!" He slowly stops laughing. "Alright, I was going to tell you that you looked pretty hot out there cutting down a tree. That's all." He smirks up at you. "That's all, well uh, thanks. You too. But you need to go take a bath now, there is wood shavings all in your hair." You start to brush them out of his hair with no luck. He swats your hand away giggling. You step off of him and offer a hand out to him. He takes it and you both start to walk back. Once you get back to the main camp area you run inside and throw him a towel. He takes it and throws it over your shoulder. Then he suddenly grabs you and carries you bridal style. "What are you doing?" You ask holding on tight. "If I have to take a bath, then so do you." You laugh and let him carry you all the way to the creek.
