Mal's POV:
We had been riding the horses for what seemed like forever and we were still in the middle of nowhere.
"Anyone have any idea where we are?," I asked a loud.
"No idea," Doug said, which woke up Evie, who had fallen asleep leaning on him the whole way from the restaurant.
"Carlos?," Jane asked. He examined his machine. "Well, should be somewhere around here," he said.
"So, what do we do now?," Jay asked.
"Keep going a little further? See if we find somewhere good to take a break first?," Chad suggested.
"Yeah, I guess," Ben said, as we all started going a little further.

                          ****************

About half an hour later, we arrived at a beach. "Wow, this is perfect!," Audrey exclaimed. "Yeah it really is," Chad said, agreeing.
"We can set up camp here and take a break," Jay said, getting off and helping Audrey off the horse.
We all got off the horses, and tied them to the trees where they would have some grass to eat. We started going through our bags to see if we could find anything that we could set up camp with.
"Ah! Yes! Eureka!," Lonnie exclaimed. "What?," Chad asked, a little startled.
"A tent!," Lonnie exclaimed excitedly.
"It looks big too," Jane said, examining it folded up in a small bag, as they started to take it out.
"Oh! Yes! I have one too!," Jay exclaimed. He and Carlos started to take theirs out too.
"Well at least we'll have somewhere to sleep for tonight," Ben said.
"But we only have two tents," Chad said. "Simple, girls in one tent, guys in the other," Doug said.
"Five of us? In one tent? On the ground?!," Audrey questioned, sounding disgusted.
"Yeah she has a point," Chad and Jay said together.
"Fine. Y'all can sleep out here on the sand where it'll get chilly at night, listening to Chad and Jay arguing and snoring, with crabs and other bugs crawling all over you—," Evie was saying, but got cut off by Audrey, who screamed.
"AHHH! DISGUSTING! I'M GETTING IN THERE FIRST!," Audrey yelled, rapidly starting to help Lonnie and Jane set up the tent.
"Well, okay then," Chad and Jay said together.
We all giggled and started to help set up the tent.
"So, you sure we're going the right way?," Ben asked Carlos, as he helped unfold the tent.
"Yes, and if we don't, that's part of the adventure, right?," Carlos asked.
"That is true," Ben said, smiling.

Carlos:
Alright, yeah, it's been a bumpy road

Jay:
Roller-coasters high and low

Mal:
Fill the tank and drive the car

Carlos, Jay, & Mal:
Pedal fast, pedal hard
You won't have to go that far

Carlos & Jay:
You wanna give up 'cause it's dark

Ben & Mal:
We're really not that far apart

All:
So let your heart, sweetheart
Be your compass when you're lost
And you should follow it wherever it may go
When it's all said and done
You can walk instead of run
'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone

Mal & Ben:
Never be alone

Evie & Doug:
Never be alone

Chad:
Forgot directions on your way

Audrey:
Don't close your eyes

Lonnie:
Don't be afraid

Jay:
We might be crazy late at night

Mal:
(Thinks of her dad) I can't wait til you arrive

Ben & Mal:
Follow stars, you'll be alright

Carlos:
You wanna give up 'cause it's dark

Carlos & Jane:
We're really not that far apart

All:
So let your heart, sweetheart
Be your compass when you're lost
And you should follow it wherever it may go
When it's all said and done
You can walk instead of run
'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone

Mal & Ben:
Never be alone

Evie & Doug:
Never be alone

Carlos & Jay:
You wanna give up 'cause it's dark

Carlos, Jay, Jane, & Audrey:
We're really not that far apart

Carlos & Jay:
One, two, three

All:
So let your heart, sweetheart
Be your compass when you're lost
And you should follow it wherever it may go
When it's all said and done
You can walk instead of run
'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone

Mal & Ben:
Never be alone

Evie & Doug:
Never be alone

Carlos & Jane:
When it's all said and done

Evie & Doug:
You can walk instead of run

Mal & Ben:
'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone

Ben's POV:
We all looked around and smiled, enjoying being together, and admiring our handy work, as we had finished pitching the tents now.
"Well, that's done, and it'll be getting dark before too long, so I'm going to go get some wood for the fire. Anyone wanna come with?," Jay asked.
"Yeah, I'll go," Carlos said, heading into the woods with Jay.
"Chad? Doug? Ben?," they asked, wondering if we were coming along with them.
"Yeah, no thanks, pitching that tent is as far as I'll go when it comes to getting my hands dirty," Chad answered.
"No, that's fine, I'll stay here," I said.
"Yeah me too," Doug said, agreeing with me.
"Okay, suit yourselves," Carlos said.
"I'll go!," Lonnie said, perking up.
"Uh, sure," Jay said.
"Great, we better get going," Lonnie said, heading into the woods.
"Sweet," Jay and Carlos said together, following after Lonnie.
