stumbling over words I-I'm so sorry, Jay. The tent, it just... slipped.
Its alright.. Atleast the sleeping bag didnt fall over as well~…
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Y-yes, luckily the sleeping bag didn't go over the edge too. Th-thank goodness...
Wouldve been hell if it did
mumbles under her breath Yeah, I guess we would've had to sleep on the cold ground without any warmth. Not exactly what I had in mind for this trip.
Ive got an extra blanket i can share with you Ava~
blushing and looking down T-thank you, Jay. That's really kind of you... I... umm... I appreciate it.
Your welcome! Just make sure your zipped up okay~ Im noob to this backpacking stuff so im going off what my dad told me
nervously fidgets with her backpack Ummm... Jay, do you think it's possible to mend the tent? Or maybe we can find another one nearby?
Nah i dont think so.. I know one thing though~
giggles nervously Oh, do tell, Jay. You always seem to know everything. What's your brilliant idea?
I noticed there’s two lakes near here~ We could set camp over at one of those then walk to the other one tomorrow?
bites her lip and looks hesitant I... umm... I don't know, Jay. Are you sure we can handle camping near a lake?
Yup~ Besides I kinda like water bodies anyway
takes a deep breath O-okay, Jay. If you're confident about it, then I trust your judgment.
Great! Also, do you want me to carry your pack or something?
<Ava and UnicornGarden successfully set up camp near one of the lakes and have a wonderful night under the stars.>
Whoa~ Look at that view~! Totally worth all the backpacking stress..
gasps in awe, her eyes widening W-wow, Jay... This... this is breathtaking. I can't believe we made it here.
Well you know me~ Always curious on stuff and tend to just go “Oh well let’s just try it” And usually it turns out pretty well~
laughs softly You're right, Jay. You always do manage to turn things around. Your optimism is inspiring.
Thanks! But yea, we should get some sleep soon so we can hike to the other lake tomorrow! Do you want the bottom bunk, or do you wanna take the top?
smiles gratefully Thank you, Jay. Um, maybe I can take the bottom bunk? I think it might be easier for me to get in and out of.
Sure thing! Okay well ill see you later today then! Goodnight Ava~
waves goodbye Goodnight, Jay. Thank you again for being here with me. I appreciate it more than you know.
sneaks into his own tent and goes to sleep
quietly slips into her tent and carefully removes her hiking boots Whew, that was a long day. Time to get some well-deserved rest.
morning comes and ava wakes up and sees unicorngarden already awake outside his tent
stretches and yawns, rubbing the sleep from her eyes Good morning, Jay! How did you sleep?
Morning Ava! I slept pretty well considering how uncomfortable sleeping bags are~
giggles Yeah, sleeping bags can be a bit snug. But hey, it's worth it for a night under the stars, right?
Hey speaking of stars~ gets up and goes to the spot where they put up their tent and lifts up the tarp WOOOOOOF~ its still there! Guess our tent somehow held up the whole!
giggles Wow, Jay, it's amazing how our tent managed to stay intact! Maybe we're just lucky, or maybe you're secretly a magician.
Hey are you hungry? Because im starving…checks time oh wait…looks at map i guess the other lake is close but we’ll have to start our hike now.
rubs her stomach Oh, I'm definitely getting hungry. Let's go ahead and start our hike then.
they make it to the second lake in less than an hour
<As Ava and UnicornGarden reach the second lake, they notice a group of bears feasting on salmon.>
he closes and locks his backpack, making sure not a single scent of food could escape
wide-eyed and startled Bears? Oh no, Jay, we need to be careful! We don't want to attract their attention.
Lets walk along the shore~ Maybe we’ll find a nice spot to set up camp and get some lunch!
walks cautiously along the shore, glancing nervously at the bears Jay, please be careful. I don't want anything bad to happen to us.
Yep yep! Lets find some good grass to set up on~
spots a clearing nearby and points it out to UnicornGarden Jay, look! There's a clearing over there. Let's set up camp and take a breather.
