(On a phone call with Midori) I didn't forget anything, Midori

"Are you absolutely sure? I don't want anything to go wrong once we get there"

Relax, I've got everything, I promise.

(Sighs) Alright. we'll see you at the station then.

Yeah, bye. (Cuts the call)

Haaa. Typical Midori, always freaking out.

Yeah. (Checks the time on her phone) Look at the time, let's go.

They're running pretty late. (Picks up her phone) Maybe I should call them.

Hmm... (Sports Midori, Mori and June approaching them) They're here.

(Panting heavily) Sorry we're late. Traffic these days, am I right?

Traffic? You spent an hour back at your place doing god knows what.

Hehe... ~3~

Forget all that. June, did you bring the sleeping bags?

Well... the regular ones couldn't you fit in my bag so I brought the deflatable ones. Sorry.

Deflatable ones? Even better!

Nice. We brought the marshmallows and snacks.

And I brought the drinks.

I hope we all have a lot of fun.

You know it. It's gonna to be the best secret camping trip ever.

(Stuffs the marshmallow from the stick into her mouth) Ah! Too hot! Too hot!

I warned you, didn't I?

(sighs softly) It's pretty dark, huh (Star gazing)

Sure is.

Hey, Mei? You sure it's okay to be here? I mean, isn't this like trespassing? The land DOES belong to someone y'know.

It's perfectly safe. (With a smug look) I rented it?

YOU?! Don't you mean I rented it?

I paid the money though. (Smirks)

You really are a brag for someone who just use up all my savings for this.

Hehe. it's called a donation.

(Sighs) And here I thought I could save up for a new makeup set.

But you already have one. Plus, this is way better.

I guess. (> ~ <)

Haaa, I think it's finally time for the best part of the sleepover. Horror stories!

(She speaks to herself in her mind "Ahh NO! I absolutely HATE horror stories")

We'll have ALL the scary talks and enjoy the night! Haha!

(To herself"Gotta escape" Nervously) Haha, it's pretty cold out here. (Stands up hastly) I think I'll get back to the tent now.

(To herself"Oh, yeah. She's afraid of horror stories" passes June for headphones from her back) Here, you can lend this. The music's already on.

...? Oh, thanks Midori. (Collets the headphones and puts them on) Hm? (Smiles) Ooh, I love this song. (Leaves to be tent humming the song)

Hm, weird. Anyway, time for the scare. Who's going first?

I'll tell mine last. Like they say, save best for last.

Alright. Then I'll go first.

Ooh. Let's hear it.

Alright. There was this crazy scientist who worked in this shady ass lab. He didn't specifically work under any companies, but he always talks about this weird mutation experiment and slowly, this drove him insane. he's abnormal insanity and obsession with this project drove people away from him, but he continued even after his wife and child had ran away. A whole lot of people called him crazy and he definitely deserves the name. I mean, just for some experiment, he ended up killing over 20 tests subjects.

Wait, 20 test subjects? As in, Humans?

No. I mean the white mice lab rats.

Oh...

So, anyway, this man committed several crimes just for the sake of his experiment. After somehow managing to maneuver his way away from the police, he ran to the lab. the police were to arrive in just about 20 minutes but instead of packing up and making a run for it, he proceeded during the project as if he was not being chased. When he finally made his use of the last ingredient, he had created the perfect serum. It had the exact expected reaction and perfect coloring. With this he poured the perfect quantity onto a lab rat and the lab rat was indeed mutated into what no one would have expected.

Yikes. I'm getting pretty spooked out now.

It was...

(Squeezing unto a stuffed toy)

it was... a green rat the size of your pinky finger.

What's the matter?

that wasn't scary in the slightest. it's just weird.

You didn't even let me finish. they're still a chance it could get interesting.

Fine, proceed.

After the experiment was successful, the scientist was overjoyed. He used his index finger and thumb to squeeze the rat as hard as he could but as soon as he separated the two fingers it bounced back like jelly. he was so happy he was in tears. About moment later, police officers barged in and coffed the man. he left to prison with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes. The end.

Ugh, still boring. you're so bad at telling horror stories.

Well, some people are just like that.

I guess adulthood does this kinds of things to you. How unfortunate. You used to be so fun but now your aging so fast.

Hey, I'm only 18.

still elder than the rest of us ain't ya?

Haaa, shut up.

(Burst into laughter) What part of this isn't scary do u not understand? Haha!

(Chuckles) Pfft. You mean, you think not having you makeup during a makeup emergency is the scariest thing?

Well, duh. (Sways) A girl's gotta look gorgeous always.

(Rolls on the ground, tearing and hands over her stomach as she laughs louder than anything) Hahahaha!!! The way you say that with all seriousness! You should be a comedian! Haha...

Pfft. No kidding.

Haaa. Okay. (Sits up) I'm okay now. My story next.

Go on. I'll see how good YOUR story goes.

Alright. It all started in an old broken flat in a small village surround by a huge forest. People don't usually leave cause that's practically impossible considering how large the forest is and how easy it is to get lost there. Within that small flat lived a hunter and his poor and little family. There was his weak wife, sick daughter and hungry son...

You've returned. Father, I'm hungry. Will we get to eat today?

Yes my son. (Rubs his head) I haven't sold everything today. We have some rabbit meat. (hands him a bag of the rabbit meat) go ahead and cook it for you, your mother and your sister.

Yes father. (leaves)

(Walks into the bedroom which they all share) My dear, how is she?

(stands up from the side of the bed from where she was watching her daughters sleep) oh, you have returned. welcome

Yes, thank you.

Belle, she is doing okay. Her breathing seems normal today.

...... that's good. I've given Jennifer the rabbit me to cook for you and Belle....hmm. I'll be stepping out for a bit.

Oh, alright.

(leaves and begins taking a stroll at the side of the road) Haaa, what am I supposed to do? (Stares at the stars) What should I ... (Hears two passerbys discussing) Hm?

So listen, between you and me, I heard a new creature's been discovered in the woods.

No way. I was about to tell you the same thing. Something about a dangerous threat lurking in the woods.

I heard, the leaders are planning to give whoever captures this creature life's worth wealth and a high ranking status above the lowly. Kinda makes me want to capture it.

Shut up, Haha...

What...was that? (In his mind"I have to be the one. This is my only opportunity to make my family's life better. To put food on their plates every day and to treat my daughter. Belle... I have to do this. I must before anyone else can." Hastily leaves)

(Barges in) Where did I put that gun?

Huh? You're back. (Notices his haste) Are you going somewhere?

Hunting.

What? This late? Stop. Just listen (Grabs his hand) You can't go, it's already dark and it's dangerous out in the woods you can do in the morning.

It's important. If I don't go now, I could lose it.

But-

(Interrupts her by laying his hand on her cheek) I'll be back in one piece. I promise.

(Hesitates) Alright. I'll stay up so be back before Jennifer wakes up and realizes you're gone.

(Smiles) I will. (Leaves)
