Sleeping back ? Check.
Tent ? Check.
Clothes&Other stuff ? Check.
Phone ? Check.

Walking to where she thought and hoped they were meant to be camping she dropped all of her stuff on the floor.Getting her phone from her back pocket she eye'd the screen.WHAT ?! NO SIGNAL! How on earth was she meant to call anyone,What if someone got eaten by a bear and No body could call anyone cause there was no freakin' signal! Flailing before trapcing around holding her phone up and down and spinning round trying to get some signal.

Seriously.Camping was not her thing.There was only one reason she even came....Lima Whiggmeister.Probably the most important woman in her life,she never saw her anymore since they'd both left hogwarts.So this was probably one of her only oppitunitys to see her so of corse she was going to take it.She wasn't mental.

Aaah, it was a beautiful day today. Perfect for camping. And she had all of her stuff set up. River was inside the tent taking a nap - as was Reese in her own tent she assumed. It was nice and peaceful and she was thinking that she might want to join River in a nap when she suddenly heard a sound outside.

Peeking outside the tent, she saw that it was Shana. "Shana Miller!" she called out as quietly as she could so as not to wake her son. She rushed out of the tent and over to the girl and gave her a hug. "I can't believe I haven't seen you in a year."

"Mum, mum, mum. Are we almost there yet? I want to see Ryder. Did Aunt Lim says he was going to be there? I want to see my friend mum." Alexandria "Lexa" Larson told her mum.

Penny shook her head. This is what happens when everyone was to busy at work. "I don't know Lex. I think Ryder is going to be there." she told her daughter. She was carrying their camping gear and holding Lexa's hand.

And here was Penny and Lexa coming. She waved over to them. "Hey," she said as they approached. "Need any help with setting up, Penny?" she took the camping supplies from her and started setting them on the ground. [B]"River's inside napping but he should be up a little later."

"Aunt Lim!" Lexa shrieked, ran and hugged Lima. She was did not hear the word nap, so she continued on. "I missed you"

Penny smiled a smile of apology at Lima. "Sorry. She is all excited. She would not sleep at all." she said. She set things on the ground. "Thanks but I have it." Penny told Lima.

AHMAHGAWD Cam was actually invited for a camping trip? Suuuuure he'd been doing tons of camping already but the legendary Forest of Dean. He'd been there a few times but did that mean he was gonna go off and reject the offer?! "Iiiii've got nuhh strings, to hold me down, to make me FRET to make meh frown," he started singing in a very shrieky voice, a mix between an angry merman and a banshee.

He was carrying a very large green camping bag and was wearing a boys scout --no he wasn't a scout but the uniform looked AAAAWWEEESOME much that he just had to steal borrow some from an unfortunate person. Heh.

"HIIIII-HOOOO THE MERRI-OOOHHH," he continued in a sort of a loud voice and began the path, he had a map you see--it was a GINOOOORRRMOUS forest and who knew if you could get lost and such?! Safety fiiiirst. Obviously. "La la la la la la LAAAAA," he continued singing because he reaaaallly didn't know the rest of the lyrics. Cam looked back at the map... oh my. They were veeery far off.

Very. Far. Off. It'd take him an hour or so just to get there. "Leeeema Leeemaarrrrr's soooo meaaan," he said with a frown, giving a sigh and following a trail. "So... I go left... and I go... err... nuhhh wait I'm suppose to go..." Which is why he never learned how to drive. Sad sad. But EEEEEP oh riiiiiiight! Apparating. Pfffttt. He'd gotten his license and all, already right?

POP!

And in an instant he was behind LEEEEEMA. OHMGAWSSHHH. Just to like go all and be scary, "Boo!" And just for safety measures, he looked at himself. Did he spliiinch? Errr...

"Hello, sweetie," she said as she bent down and gave Lexa a hug. She was the most adorable thing ever - after River of course. "I missed you too. How have you been?"

"I get that. 3 year olds can be a hassle." She laughed and shook her head before letting Penny take over everything. "So how's Eric?"


Then some idiot decided to scare the crap out of her. "Cameron!" she exclaimed turning towards him and punching him in the arm gently. "You have to be quiet now. My son's sleeping." River was always so cranky when you woke him from a nap and she didn't want to deal with that right now.

Elizabeth, a backpack on her back, trekked the mile or so further into the forest from the spot where she had apparated in with Robert, leaving him to deal with rest of the camping supplies. A half-smile graced her features as she thought about how she was punishing him for his craziness, even though inside she was already practically feeling separation anxiety being so far from Dylan. She wasn't about to bring her five-month-old daughter into the Forest of Dean camping, though, which had been Robert's crazy idea. She knew she'd be safer back at home with her mother, even though she had the sneaking suspicion Robert wasn't entirely comfortable having his mother-in-law in their house by herself, whether or not it was logical or not.

She kept reminding herself that her mother would contact them if something went wrong, and that she was trustworthy, having raised four children (five including her cousin), not to mention helping Jonathan and Alyssa with their three kids. But for once she was having a hard time keeping her brain logical, especially since it involved her daughter. And she was going to get to see Lima again, which was exciting since she hadn't really gotten to see her slightly older friend since almost a year earlier and a lot of things had changed since then. She'd sent a few owls, but it wasn't the same.

Coming into a clearing, she stopped near the edge as she saw Lima there, with several others, including a young girl, and let a hand come up to finger the strap of her backpack. She didn't know why she was nervous, but there it was. And she had a feeling she had a while before Robert caught up.

No signal here.No signal there.No Signal freakin' Anywhere! AAAHHH! A MONSTER! Turning round she saw Lima,Okay so a monster wasn't trying to kidnap her.Lima Whig- Darcy! She beamed as she was pulled into a hug.Clinging to her she smiled.I can't believe I havn't seen you in a year either AND you picked a place with no signal! You could get eaten by a bear and no one would know but us cause theres no signal! she let go of Lima and flailed.

You are the only reason I came you know,I hope you realise that.I don't do camping,it's not my thing.I wanted to bring my bed...But I couldn't carry it. she frowned.Wait...Clarks not coming...is he ? she looked blankly at her remembering what happned between them last year.


Then she heard a noise,singing and randomness there was only one person it could be.Cam Karsten.Caaam! she shouted,beaming at him.

Yey for Camping. Vanessa loved camping. Especially with her friends. And it was going to be her daughters first time camping, so she was sure it was going to be really special.
She was carrying the little girl in her arms, and she walked along side Miles to the place where they were going to meet Lima.
"Are you sure you don't want me to hold anything Honey?" She asked, smiling at her husband. She felt bad that he was carrying a lot, and she was just carrying Grace, and a rucksack filled with Clothes. Although Grace was being a little bit of a handful at the moment, she wanted to go down but Vannie didnt want her running of somewhere in the forest so she was keeping the little girl as close as possible.

"Mummy. Dowwn!" Grace whined, with a cute smile playing on her face as her mummy carried her into the forest. She wanted to get down and explore. And go and find River! "My find Wiver!" She nodded with a smile, hoping it would make Vannie put her down. Unfortunately it did not. Grace pouted. No fair!

Robert walked through the forest laden down with camping gear that Liz had oh so kindly left him to carry when he groaned as he noticed it was going up hill. Pulling all the straps towards his body he sighed and made his way up the hill. He was just lucky he had to stay in shape... As he reached the top he looked down and sighed as it went down again. Why can't it just be straight? Groaning he carefully made his way down the hill. About half way down his foot got caught in a root and he tripped causing him to fall, rolling down the rest of the way. "Bloody hell!" Standing up he brushed himself off to no avail really since there was dirt smudged on his face and his hair was a mess. Looking around he hoped he hadn't gotten lost somehow and continued walking toward what looked to be a clearing or something. As he neared he saw Liz standing there and he frowned, "Thanks for helping." He ran his free hand over his head and found some leaved there. Pulling them out he looked around, "Where am I supposed to put this stuff?"

OMG.

Miles' daughter did like to bring a lot of things. Toys mainly, when there was no need to when she would be playing with River and sticks or something. Something naturey. Miles had told her not to bring the toys as it's a heavy load that they really didn't need it.

Miles staggered behind Vannie, trying to keep up. Why did Vannie get to carry Gracie and he was stuck with the tent and the bags? "I ... told ... you .. not to bring ... all these ... toys." Miles panted, and felt like he was going to collapse.

Oh dear. Maybe she should have helped a little more. Vannie smiled at Miles apologetically, and glanced at her daughter, could she put her down on the floor. "Dont run off Grace. I won't be happy." She nodded seriously at her daugher, before placing her on the ground. Now her arms were empty and she could help Miles.
"You know I can't say no to her." Vannie sighed, as she rubbed Miles arm affectionatly, before taking a couple of the bags from him. Eep. They were heavy, maybe she should have helped at the start! "I'm sorry love." She smiled sheepishly at him, before walking on, if they carried on Miles could stop carrying the heavy tent.

"Thank you Mummy!" Grace smiled as she looked up at Mummy and Daddy. Oh daddy looked tired, it must have been because he was carrying all of her toys. Teehe. He must love her a lot. "Gracie go and find River." She nodded, but stayed at Mummy's side. She couldn't go yet. She wasn't allowed.

She hugged Shana then let go as the melodrama ensued. "Shana, we will be fine. We know magic and can get any bear that tries to hurt us. And I'm sorry we don't have cell service but it's a part of being in nature." She gave a wink before frowning. "I'm sorry that I made you come when you don't like camping." She hadn't known.

And why was she asking about Clark? UGH. "Um... don't flip Shana.. I'm really sorry.." She turned red and knew that Shana was about to blow.

"Oh, look! Liz and Rob are here!" she said grabbing a subject change. She waved to the two figures as they appeared.

Sighing Shana shook her head.But Lima,My friend,thats going to get eaten by a bear *sniffle* A bear can break our wands easily. she nodded.Okay Okay fine fine fine.But do me a favour next time pick a spa resort or mabye a hotel in new york.No! Not New york! she hesitated remembering the time she went there with Dani,Jake and Clark.How about San fran sisco ? she smiled.Its fine. she said hugging Lima.

She was sorry that only meant one thing.Clark was coming.Shaking her head she flailed.Liiiiiiiiiiima! Your worse than Evil Brody.No I told Torin I wouldn't call her that anymore *Eye roll* ...Brody. she whined.Since,I can't drive and have No signal to call a taxi or Hiroki.I think Im gonna go hide in a tree. she said taking off her shoes at the bottom of a what looked to be a climbable tree and began to attempt to climb it.

Kenedie sighed in her apartment. She was rather nervous about this whole camping thing. For one, her sense of direction was terrible, and if she got lost, she was screwed. Plus, this was her first outing with Kalli, the little girl Kenedie had fallen in love with, adopted, and made her daughter. She looked down at her beautiful black hair and smiled.

"Are you ready, sweetie?" she said sweetly, happy to FINALLY be a mother.

Kalli was bouncing on the balls of her feet. She was excited. She loved her new mommy. Her two-year-old body was buzzing with eagerness to get to the campsite. Her first two years of life, spent in a London orphanage, hadn't included such luxuries.

"Yessssssssssss!" she squealed.

Kenedie smiled. She was so eager. With a wave of her wand, she attached the bags of stuff to herself and took Kalli's hand, preparing to apparate. She hadn't even introduced Kalli to Lima yet. She was so excited to show off her daughter.

POP!

Kenedie landed, still holding Kalli's hand, and walked over to where she had already spotted Lima.

"Hey, you," she said, smirking.

She just snorted. "Don't be so negative, Shana. You think I'd let a bear get here? I will put protection around the campsite. You think I'd let anything happen to my son?" Then there was that spa comment. Did Shana really hate nature that much? Lima personally loved it. Well, not gardening and getting dirty and all that. But she loved hiking and swimming and canoeing and all that.

"Are you still going on about that Brody person? After like 5 years?" that poor Torin. It must be hell for him to have to deal with this.


And now Ken had arrived as well. "Hello there!" she called out relieved to see someone happy. "And who is this?" she added as she saw the little girl with her.

She giggled as Lima snorted and shook her head.I'm noooot! Im being realistic.No I don't but Cam will probably go on a morning hike.And could get eaten and theres a million other possibilities.Forgot that subject,anyway. Looking around at all the people with little kiddies.Siigh,She wanted a little kiddie,Not yet of corse but she wanted one.But probably not going to happen.She was nineteen and hadn't got a boyfriend.Lima...Do you think Im a..Loner ? she shrugged,it was a pretty reasonable question.

Yes.And luckily for her and even more luckier for me I never have to see her pretty face again. she nodded Firmly.


As she got halfway up the tree to a spot that was safe to sit she froze up.LIIIMA! She shouted,in a sort of quiet way trying not to wake River.I just remembered,Im scared of heights. Gulping and looking down she thought about jumping.Her standing at 5'5 Jumping wasn't such a great plan.

She was walking down the ground towards Bunbury's greenhouse until...

POP!

Reese rolled over in her sleeping bag, so that she was facing to top of Lima's tent. Her eyes were wide opened as she thought about the dream she just had before the sound of someone apparating woke her. Sigh. That was probably the third dream she has had about Hogwarts this week. Could you tell she was starting to miss her school? It's been about 4 years since she graduating and all she wanted to do was go back. Back to her memories. Back to her second home.

She wrapped her arms around her pillow and she turned her head to the side, so she could see the little 3 year old sleeping beside her. She watched River sleep for a few more seconds before she stood up from her sleeping bag and gently placing her pillow down on the ground, she picked up her sunglasses she had sat on the ground before she went to bed and then she walked out of the tent. Eying all the people that had arrived while she was taking her beauty nap, she placed her sunglasses on her head and walked straight over to Lima and Cam.

Assuming it was Cam that made the POPing nose, because who else would make such a grand entrance? Besides herself, of course. "Cam, don't you know some of use are trying to catch up on our beauty sleep?" She asked him when she came close enough to her friends. She pulled out a hairband from her pocket and began to tie her long, brunette hair up in a ponytail.

"Shana. No one will get eaten by a bear. Calm down. We are all capable adults here. But if you are so worried you can stay at the campsite where protections will be placed." She smiled and tried to get the girl to relax a bit. But where was that loner comment coming from? "Loner? Why?" But that didn't seem to matter as Shana had gotten herself in a tree.

"Come down here right now!" she hissed at her. "You're going to wake River if you keep like that!" She cast a nervous glance at the tent just as Reese appeared outside.

"Hey, have a good sleep?"

Teehee.

"Haaaaaai Leema. You. Like. Lemur Woman. Heh," and decided to punch her back--GENTLY of course, because if he did then... that didn't look pretty and he didn't wanna be murdered by her husband. Yeah. Definitely. "Ohhh Rivah? Alright alriiiiight," he said with a sigh. Quiet wasn't born for him. No. Quiet was illegal in his own tiny little deranged world. "Well, best I'll let these little rascals out'ta here." And with that, he reached into his pockets, taking out two lemurs who were hiding there in the mean time.

"Seeeeeee Leeema? Ah don't think ye've ever seen 'em but I got these little lemurs after yeh left actually," because 1) that Juniper girl OBVIOUSLY needed a fellow embracer of nature to come and go take care of her lemurs and 2) they reminded him of LEMUR WOMAAAAAN. Nakato especially. Gawwwssssh Nakato was a lemur woman alright.

"I've lost countin' on how old they are but uh, they're not thaaaat old. butlookit!" He put one lemur in front of her face, it was as big as his arm and it hadn't grown that much since he'd gotten it. "Ain't she puuuuurdy?" And he immediately gave her a look which said "SAY SHE'S PURDY LEEMA. SAY IT OR ELSE SHE'LL NOM YER FACE OFF" but Nakato wasn't gonna go and bite her nose really... but Leema didn't know that did she?

ANDZOMGASHSHANAAAAAAA.

"SHAA--" oh right oh riiiiight, baby sleeping in a tent and all, "aaaanaaaaaa!" He waved and was just about to go and say hello but like, WOT DA HECK REESE?!

He snorted loudly when she mentioned beauty sleep. "Ahhh don't worry Reese--just face it, you'll never get any beauty at all, so uh... so reaaaaaaaallllyyy. Wot's the point, eh? Heh," he winked and pat her on the shoulder in a very very veeeery pitying way.

Now don't beat me up please.

With a loud screech, Raven stopped the car and took the keys out, getting out of the car and walking around to the back; she opened the trunk and started taking the sleeping bags and tent. She never realized how much she packed for this campout until she took it all out of the trunk.

"Ash, I think I'm going to need your help with this." She said and waited for her husband to come around and help her carry this stuff; there was no way that she was going to do this herself.

She hoped that she would be able to get along with Lima again however she didn't really speak much to the woman to begin with, she'd attempt to be more social for Asher.

Lexa was about to reply when people she did not know started to show up. She sank back till she was hiding behind her mum and following her. "Mum, there are alot of persons here." she whispered.

Penny smiled at the mention of her husband. "He is great. He's sorry that he had to miss this. But he had to work." she told Lima. She smiled at all the new arrivals. Penny looked at her daughter when she mentioned everyone. "Yes, Aunt Lima has alot of friends." she told her.

Oh dear goodness. Camping. One activity Em couldn't find actually attracting. But...hey! He was going to spend some fun time with his former school classmates. After all, he was going to get to see Karma. Right?

After parking his small Volkswagen way beyond reach, he approached the camping site carrying two bags (one of clothes and personal belongings, including this special gift and the other one with his tent and sleeping bags), inside the forest of Dean. Creepy... Still, interesting, fun to even talk about it and dare to go inside it.

Sigh...there, people Em had met at some point of his life and some others who didn't were all gathered, not gathered and talking to each other.

"Errr....good...day guys?" He greeted, uncertain if this was like the best time to start this kinds of trips.

Right here guys, from now on...you'd get to meet our clumsy Emiliano.
