Chapter 1: The News
As Mana and Jojo walk into the house Ned is waiting at the front door with a letter, Jojo looks at his dad and wonders why he has such a big grin on his face. Just then his dad finally speaks.
"Hey Jojo remember that one place you went a few summers back?"
"Yeah Camp Harmony, what about it"
"We'll" Ned says as he pulls out a letter and begins to read it to Jojo, "Dear Jojo, on behalf of the staff at Camp Harmony we would really like you to attend our summer camp this year. I know it has been two years since you have been here but we would like to see how you have been. Sincerely, your friends at Camp Harmony"
Hearing this Jojo jumps up and down at the thought of going back to camp, As Mana looks at this and makes his emotionless face as Jojo stops and looks at him with curiosity.
"Hey Mana you ok bro?"
"Yeah I'm fine don't worry about it, school just tired me out that's all. I'm going to go lay down for a bit on the couch"
"Ok then, I will wake you up in half an hour got to go talk to my dad"
Just as Mana lays down on the couch Jojo goes and looks for his dad, He goes to his parents room and can hear them talking as Jojo knocks on the door.
"Just a minute"
Sally them comes to the door and sees Jojo standing there, she looks down at her son and smiles
"Yes son, what can I help you with?"
"Mom, how much is camp going to be this year?"
"$200 why do you ask?"
"Oh no reason just wondering. Ok talk to you later mom"
Jojo then fakes like he is walking away as Sally goes and Resumes her talk with Ned, Jojo puts his ear near the door to listen at the conversation.
"But Sally I know Mana is Jojo's friend but still"
"Still what Ned? What do you have against Mana?"
"Nothing it's just that…well we don't know anything about him"
"What is there to know about? He is one of very few people that became Jojo's friend, and I'll be damned if you ruin it for our son Ned"
Jojo thinks to himself, as a smile spreads across his face as he waits for the conversation to end, eagerly waiting for the outcome. His heart is racing with anticity.
"Ned, I leave it up to you, Let Jojo's friend go with him to camp or not"
"But Jojo has so many friends at camp, I'm sure he won't mind if one friend doesn't go, he probably won't even notice that Mana isn't there"
"Ok Ned I will let Jojo know that Mana won't be able to go and if our son stops talking because of this, it's all on you ok"
"OK OK Sally you win, I will let Mana go with Jojo to Camp Harmony"
Sally then kisses Ned on the cheek as she says with a sly smile on her face "See that's why I married you, you do whatever it takes to keep this family happy"
Jojo then filled with adrenalin runs up the wall and back flips off before going to wake up Mana from his nap, Jojo then runs into the living room almost slipping before jumping on top of Mana trying to wake him up.
"Mana wake up, I got something to tell you" Jojo says while shaking his friend
"I don't want to wake up and I don't care what you have to say, you're going to camp next week so enjoy it"
"That's what I want to talk to you about, my parents agreed to let you come with me to camp!!"
Mana's eyes open as he tries to hide his excitement as he keeps his monotone voice and expression
"Really, that's really cool of them"
"Wow Mana, I thought you would be more happy about this, I mean I bet you never even been to camp before"
Mana just looks up at him with that emotionless glare that you can't help but get creeped out by it, even if it's just a little. Jojo just looks down at Mana.
"Haha sorry Mana I didn't mean it like that I was just saying"
"I know what you were saying but if I can ask you a question"
"Sure what is it bro"
"Why in blue hell are u sitting on me?"
"Because I tried to wake you up but you didn't want to so I decided to sit on you and shake you to wake you up, and it seems that it worked" Jojo says with a smile
"Well are you going to get off?"
"Nope not until you show more emotion about going to camp"
"Oh joy, I'm going to camp…now I can die happy" Mana says sarcastically
"Ok then if that's how you want to be fine then I will tell my parents that you don't want to go to camp" Jojo then begins to pout, Mana just rolls his eyes and finally gives in
"I really am happy that your parents are letting me go to camp with you" Mana says with a smile, Jojo then ruffles up Mana's hair and laughs as he gets off.
"See was that So hard to do?"
"It was extremely painful"
"Ah don't be such a drama queen"
"Stupid emo"
"Stupid goth"
As both friends begin to laugh and walk towards the kitchen where Jojo's Mom is making them some dinner.
"I know you two got a lot of stuff to do before camp so why don't you guys go eat dinner and go pack your stuff"
"Mom it's not till next week though"
"Oh well ok but still I am sure you guys want to just do your own things, maybe write music or create something"
"Oh yeah your right mom, I do want to make some stuff for camp"
Sally then hands them their dinner and sends them off as Jojo remembers something, he looks at Mana and whispers.
"Hey Mana my little sister Heidi, man she can sing, and she is still very little"
"Really? Oh dude then we got to sing a song with her"
Jojo and Mana then make their way around the house looking for Jojo's little sister as they see her playing with her tooth. Jojo then picks her up and says with a smile.
"Hey Heidi remember when we sang that beautiful song together"
She smiles with her tooth showing and nods
"Me and big brother sing really pretty song"
"Yes we did, well how about we sing a song with Mana as well?"
"Heidi get to sing song with both big brothers" she begins to clap her hands together
"Yes you do Heidi"
Jojo then goes and grabs his guitar and begins to sing the beginning of the song
Jojo :Ready...here we go...
