SO. I'm, actually making an update for yall! But lemme tell you something in advanced; this won't be very good. I'm on my crappy laptop, and it doesn't have spellcheck. I'm not even gonna lie, I'm not a great speller. -_-

AND. I don't have the character BIOs, here. So if the personalities are a bit wonky, I'm sorry.

If nobody has noticed, I love writing about relationships and romances. So, if you guys have any requests for a relationship, (If maybe, your OC isn't interacting with anyone in a loving way and you have someone else's lonely OC in mind) tell me. It's kind of hard to pair other's OCs together.

I DREW A GROUP PICTURE OF EVERY CHARACTER! (Except for my OCs John and Karla.) I can't wait to show you guys, I love it to death! I'm putting it on my wall! But I'm sorry if they look really inaccurate. I could hardly remember the descriptions for the characters, and I drew them as I imagine them.

I've decided that I'm gonna draw a picture for all the characters. Right now, I have Aidan's character picture done. Along with Shannon's, and Keri's.

And because Rafe, Wade and Alex Ryder remind me of Duncan, Dj and Geoff, I drew a picture of the three of them, clad in dress shirts, ties, and dress pants, looking mighty fine. It's titled "The triple Threat."

LOVE YOU GUYS!

Hope you enjoy this chapter, it's like a day inbetween challenge days.

REMEMBER. Challenge ideas are appreciated. Hell, ideas for plot is appreciated as well!!! VERY MUCH. This story isn't just mine. It's ours. I wouldn't be writing this if it weren't for you all and your fantastic OCs.

This is gonna be long. A chapter where your characters will be interacting a lot because I have time now. xD

The Days in between.

Chapter one : Walks, Talks, and Girl Chat.

Rabid Raccoon Boys; Morning

Chris was lounging in a lawn chair, his arms behind his head, basking in the sun. The campers were still asleep. It was a sunny Saturday morning, and the day was still very young; it was merely 10:30 A.M.

Chris sighed and stood from his chair, patting himself down before whistling to himself as he trudged for the campfire sight.

Jackson was the first in his cabin to arouse from a seemingly deep sleep ,"Hmmm..." He stretched his well toned arms over his head and yawned. Jackson rubbed the tattoo behind his ear and, as carefully as he possibly could, climbed down the ladder.

Jake popped an eye open and groaned, "Jacksooon..." He drawled irritably before throwing the covers off of himself and sitting up, squinting in the daylight. Jackson smirked at his alliance friend,"Morning."

Jake frowned heavily before flopping his head back down onto the pillow, "How do you get up so damn early..."

Jackson shrugged and opened his mouth to respond, but he realize that Jake was asleep again and zipped his mouth shut. He glanced around for any sign that one of his cabin mates was going to be waking up any time soon, and when he found none, he went for the cabin door.

"Dude?" A weary voice mumbled. Jackson turned his head just as he placed a hand on the door knob, "Who said that?" He whispered. Aidan sat up and waved, budging a smirk. Jackson popped a brown and returned the wave with a nod of his head, "Morning. You gonna stay up?" Aidan nodded quickly and coughed into his fist before croaking, "Where are you going?"

"On a walk."

"Can I come with?"

Jackson cocked his head to the side and smiled warmly, "Sure." Aidan grinned and hopped from his bed, stumbling slightly, before digging in his duffel bag for a shirt. He pulled out a sleevless hoodie instead, and pulled over his head. Jackson watched, amused, as Aidan left his boxers on, pulled on ankle high socks, and tennis shoes.

"That's a great look on you." Jackson remarked, crossing his arms over his chest and smiling playfully. Aidan rolled his eyes put grinned, "Damn Straight it is."

After Aidan was 'presentable', the two Raccoon Boys set off on their adventure. As they started on a gravel trail leading further into the forest, Aidan spoke up, "So. Any girls caught your eye?"

Jackson glanced over at Aidan with the corner of his eye and frowned, "Nah. You?"

Aidan stared up into the sky, his smiled wiped away suddenly, "Ya." Silence fallowed and Jackson broke it after a good thrity seconds, "And who might that be?"

"Alexandria." Jackson's eyes widened, "You serious? She seems tough. She walks with pride and her head held high. What makes an easy going guy like you fall for a girl like Alexandria? She's hot and all, but..."

Aidan smiled, "Because yesterday, I made a snarky comment and she just smiled with me. She didn't slap me when I gained up on her, about to push her into the water."

Jackson scoffed, "Ya, but didn't she slap you after you two fell in?"

Aidan nodded quickly, "Oh ya, I know she did, but... I dunno. I guess I should talk to her more." Jackson nodded in agreement, "Ya. I see where you're coming from."

---

Back at the cabin, Lee's watch started to beep, signaling 10:50 A.M. He ignored it for a good 10 seconds before sitting up, and turning it off. He scratched his back and got off of the bed. Jake sat up again, "what was that noise?" His glaring gaze fell upon the bleary eyed Lee. Lee raised a brow, "My watch. It wakes me up." Jake scowled as a reply before getting out of bed as well.

Lee and Jake hadn't gotten off at a good start in the beginning.

Lee ignored the urge to roll his eyes, and he pulled on some shorts, and a plain black shirt. He grabbed his hair gel, squeezed some into his palm, and rubbed it through his hair, getting the spike look he liked.

Jake yawned and cracked his neck as he slipped his jeans on, "Did you see where Jackson went?"

Lee turned to the stud and shook his head, "No."

Jake frowned and rubbed his abdomen, "Alright."

Stampeding Stags Boys; Morning

Wade had been awake for an hour. Or, he had chosen to quit trying to sleep. His hands moved swiftly as he shuffled his decks, his eyes scrunched in frusturation. He had been restless.

Wade positiond his glasses correctly, and put his cards away before pulling out his guitar. The bespactled boy looked around to see if anyone had woken up yet, preferably Rafe or Alex; both boys were snoring lightly in their sleep. Wade sighed, but then heard an angry grunt. He looked up and saw a large lump stirring. The duel master swallowed roughly.

John frightened most of the people in their cabin, and probobly the people in the Rabid Raccoons as well.

Wade squinted his eyes as John sat up, his thick meaty arms coming up into a stretch. The larger boy rolled off of his bed, making a thump, causing Wade to flinch, and the other boys in the cabin to sit up.

"ITACHI!!" Sam yelled before springing out of his bed and landing roughly onto the hard wood floor. Wade grinned at the Naruto Fan, and his bleary eyes trailed upward to look at Alex, who was sitting up in his bed and rubbing at his eyes, "What the crap was that noise?" He asked, his voice rough. Rafe moaned and stood on his bed, his fists on his hips, "Oi, whoeva woke me up is gonna --"

John rose from the ground, his glaring brown eyes piercing Rafe's. Wade's eyes widened and Alex's mouth dropped.

Rafe's face went blank.

Sam sat cross legged on the ground, and spoke up, "How about we settle this. John, Rafe, sock wrestle."

Everyone looked over at Sam, who seemed rather proud of the presposition he made. Rafe bit his tongue, tempted to say, "And risk getting crushed?"

Jacob, who was watching with amusement said, "What the F*** is Sock wrestling?"

Alex shruggd and said, "That's not the point. The point is, John, stop being a bully. It's like... 11 in the morning. Rafe was just messing around, he wouldn't hurt a fly." John turned to look at Alex, considering the party boys words carefully. The large boy snarled, and stomped out of the cabin, leaving the other boys in an awkward silence. Jacob decided to break said silence.

"Anyone else think he should be booted next time we have the chance?"

Rafe nodded in agreement, seeming too stunned for words.

Scared, almost.

The Aussie's eyebrows were knit, and he was staring downward. Wade frowned, "Are you okay Rafe?"

Rafe nodded too quickly, and replied, "Uhm, ya. It's just like.... dude... he looked ready to kill me. Literally."

Jacob's face screwed upo and he nodded, "Remember when he tried strangling me? The whole time, I was think, I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. Maybe we should talk to Chris about it, I mean he attacked us."

Sam grinned darkly, "But think about it. Chris will put us through life threatening challenges. You really think he'd care about a violent camper? I mean, remember two seasons ago? Eva? She nearly speared that uptight CIT girl and strangled the sexist boy."

Alex jumped from his bed and pulled on his jeans, "Maybe they're related."

Wade scoffed, "Wouldn't that be a coincidence," his voice was sardonic.

Rabid Raccoon Girlies; Morning

Utau woke up with a start, "MORNING!" She leaped from her bed, digging through her bag for her hairbrush. She yanked it through her glistening blonde locks, and threw on a black tank top, a black and red plaid skirt, and a few of her arm accesories before dashing outside for the bathrooms. Kiara's eyes fluttered open and she stretched, "Morning? Already?" Kel, who slept on the bunk above Kiara's, woke up next, "Oh it's a really nice morning, too." She smiled and gazed dreamily outside the window, before somehting clicked in her mind, "Oh ya! We don't have a challenge today! We get to relax!" Kiara rubbed her chin and smiled, "Oh ya! That's right!" Kel and Kiara both, as quietly as they could, climbed out of bed.

Utau burst through the door, her hair glossy with water, done up in a ponytail.

"Good morning my fellow cabinmates." She exclaimed, in an almost fake excited voice. Kel smiled and waved, "Morning. I see you've showered already?" Utau nodded, clutching her shower bag to her chest. Kiara popped a thin brow and pursed her lips, "Morning." Kiara's voice lacked Kel's enthusiasm.

Utau cocked her head and smiled sweetly, "Why the sour face Kiara?" The two locked gazes, sharing a deep, long stare. Kel put her hands behind her back and became nervous, "Something wrong you guys?"

Utau broke the gaze and smiled at Kel, "Nope." The blonde girl skipped to her luggage case and placed her shower bag into it, while Kiara stared at her back.

Confession Cam:

Kiara: Okay, I know for a fact that Jessie, Kel and I voted for her to leave, and I'm sure some of the boys did too. I mean, she didn't jump, or find a star yesterday. And she was way to calm at the ceremony. I think somethings up.

"Jessie, wake up!" Kel shook the loner's shoulder. Jessie opened her eyes and smiled, "Morning already?"

Kel nodded, "Yup. and I can hear some of the other campers awake as well."

Jessie shook her head, her purple hair drooping around her face, "Oh wow. What time is it?"

"About time you got a watch," Kiara said jokingly, grinning.

Alexandria huffed and covered her eyes with her arm, the sunlight making her eyes cloud with black blotches.

"Oh, I am not a morning person..." She mumbled, sitting up. Jessie looked up at the independant girl, "Same here. I could never get myself up back at the orph--.... home..." Jessie's face fell, and she looked down.

Alexandria's eyebrows arched upward.

She was about to say orphanage...

Stampeding Stag Girls; Morning

"Okay you guys! WAKEY WAKEY!!" Shannon hollered, hopping up and down while flailing her arms, the long ears on her bunny hat bouncing with her.

Keri shot up, her short hair sticking in every which way direction, "where's the fire!!"

Shannon giggled and poked Keri's forehead, "Silly goose. It's morning." Keri's face lit up, "Oh, oh, oh, breakfast?" Shannon brought her fisted hands to her hips, "I think we missed it."

Keri's face faltered for a nanosecond and she exclaimed, "Lunch?"

Teela yawned, her sleep black hair in a tight braid to keep it from tangling in the night, "I new day. Hey, anyone got a headband I could use?"

Jessica looked over at Teela, her eyes heavy and misted, her mouth opening to speak, but Shannon spoke before her, "I do!" The blonde otaku said, pulling a yellow headband from her suitcase.

Teela's eyes twinkled, "Oh em Gee! Are those strawberries on that headband!?! I love strawberries!"

Jessica clucked her tongue and let out a breath.

She was normally hyper, but found herself sort of drawn back from the other campers.

She was originally gonna join a sports team, but most of the teams refused to let a girl on their team. She was sort of ticked off by that.

----

"Morning you lazy bums! Or should I say, afternoon." Chris's voice and smile was grim, and he took a swig of coffee. Rafe propped his head on his palm and leered at John, who silently stared down at his food. Wade patted his back.

"As you know, today is a challenge free day. You're free to lounge around as you please. The lake is open. Swim. Walk, or--..." Chris stopped mid sentence and looked around, "Hey... we seem to be missing two campers."

Jake grumbled for a second before saying, "Jackson and Aidan weren't in the cabin when Lee and I woke up this morning." Lee nodded, and took a bite of his crusty eggs, his nose flaring at the taste.

Meanwhile....

"So... you know where we are?" Aidan asked Jackson, his eyes flicking left to right nervously. Jackson raised his eyebrows and exhaled, "Not really." They were lost in thick forest, sunlight barely escaping through the small cracks the leaves made. Aidan ran a hand through his hair, "Man, I am not properly dressed for this."

In the Cafeteria

Alexandria looked up, her chin high in the air. "Aidan and Jackson?" She spoke up, her voice powerful; she was curious.

Keri pouted her lip, "Poor Jackson."

Alexandria's thin eyebrows furrowed and she wanted to snap, "Poor Aidan," but held it back.

Authors note:

So. I wanted to update soon for you guys, because I haven't been doing so. This chappie is sort of short, but I worked hard on it! If you feel like your character is being excluded, don't be afraid to let me know!

What will happen to Aidan and Jackson?

Will Kiara figure Utau out?
