ADVENTURES IN CAMPING

i.

"I thought this would be like the end of MIghty Ducks 2." 

"It could have been if you wanted to go gamping."

"Ew, that's not a real word, never say that again." 

ii. 

"Amyyyyy, camping is the worst. It's so boring. There's all this fresh air." 

"Aww, is the poor city boy too sensitive to rough it?"

"Yes." 

iii. 

"I was promised s'mores!" 

"It's like 9,000 degrees, you want s'mores?" 

"First no breakfast burritos, now no s'mores? This sucks." 

"You suck."

"You wish I sucked." 

"Gross." 

iv. 

"Weeee are the chaaaaampions, weeeee are the chaaaaa-"

"Shut. Up." 

"There's no one here for miles! What am I supposed to do? Read? Ha, yeah right." 

"If you sing, some of the other campers will probably get us kicked out." 

"Maybe they'll give us s'mores for my silence." 

v. 

"That's Ursa Major, and that's Ursa Minor. That one's Orion, and next to him is Perseus. That's the Great Square of Pegasus, and that's Cassiopeia." 

"Why do you know so much about constellations?" 

"My mom gave me a book about space after my dad left. It was pretty cool, but you can't see most of them from Prospect Park. Fun fact, they kick you out of Prospect Park at 2am if they find you." 

...

"You're quiet." 

"Nothing, I'm just picturing an 11-year-old you trying to explain that you were in the park at three in the morning to see the stars." 

"Well, me and Cassie up there had a date." 

"And now?" 

"She had her chance. There's this girl, Amy, that I have a weekend camping trip planned with, except she'll forget the s'mores stuff--"

"I'm going to elbow you, don't think I won't." 

"You can't elbow me if we're making you."

"Challenge accepted."

"Wait, that wasn't--"

"Just shut up and kiss your girlfriend?" 

"Yes ma'am."
