Get Back Up Again

(Oof this is a chapter I really wanted to write.  Cult Camp never happened.  This is- yeah.  The time has been forwarded again)

(Song: Get Back Up Again covered by MandoPony)

David hummed along to whatever song was playing in car, and Daniel gazed out the window as they went farther and father from civilization.  Gwen could be heard giggling to whatever she was writing in the backseat.

"So you just got out of your classes, for three whole months mind you, and you decide to work that entire time?"

David looked at his boyfriend, shrugging.  "I mean, yeah.  That's it."

"You're a dork."

"You meet these kids, and I'm telling you that you'll immediately see why I do this!"

Gwen groaned.  "Daniel, these kids are maniacs.  Don't listen to David."

"Gwen!"

They had a good laugh, pulling up to the camp grounds.  Just the same as last year.  They got out and David took a breath of fresh air.  Daniel looked at the sign.  Camp Campbell, but the 'bell' had worn down.  Camp Camp.

"Alright-y gang, lets get set up!"

David ran off to a cabin labelled "Counselors".  He emerged a few seconds later with his uniform shirt.  Gwen had been wearing her uniform the entire trip, not really caring.

"Don't tell me I have to wear an ascot."

David laughed and dragged him in.  "Not unless you want to." He dug out of a box and found another camp shirt, handing it to Daniel, who put it on over his white long-sleeved shirt.

David showed Daniel around the camp.  He met the quartermaster, was taught the Camp Campbell salute, and even met the mascot that the campers had found last year.  He was going to avoid that thing as if it were the plague.  

After setting up tents, quartermaster left to get the bus to pick up the children from the pick-up area in the city.  An hour had passed, and David pulled Daniel over to the Camp Campbell sign.

"Are you excited Daniel?  I can't wait to see how everyone is!"

"Well, as long as you're excited, I'll be excited." He ruffled his boyfriend's hair and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

The bus honked its horn, and David practically ran at it.  Daniel tried to stop him, but he had already been hit.  Daniel was hyperventilating. 

"Davey!"

"Yeah?" He got up, rubbing the side of his face, but looked fine overall.

Gwen walked towards him, shaking her head.  "Again David?  This happens every year, don't worry.  He actually got hit by the bus around three to five times last year?"

What the fuck.

David walked back over to them, looking no less excited.  The door opened, quartermaster announcing the kids.  First off was some sort of theater kid, followed by a magician, an obvious DnD addict, and many more.  David greeted them all, until one kid walked off.

"Max!!" David ran towards a kid.  Daniel's view was obstructed, so he couldn't see the kid.

"Jesus fuck, get off of me you peppy asshole!"

David set him down and got off.  It was a short kid with black hair and a darker skin tone.  Indian ethnicity most likely.  Behind him were two others.  A lanky nerd-type and a girl with green hair.  She was intimidating to say the least.
