#tridentcampout

Arielle needed a time to relax and as much as she didn’t want to admit it, the pirates did a good job with this campout.  There was food and activities to do, but the most exciting was the movie nights they have planned. It almost felt like they weren’t trapped there; pirates and royals bonding wasn’t a bad idea at all. As she approached to the food table, she bit her bottom lip, not knowing what to pick, there were so many options that it was hard to decide. But she adventured herself and got a hot dog and a stout beer; though she wasn’t used to drink (except on events), this was going to be a special occasion. It was a new beginning for her, for her heart and for her mind, and it was certainly something to celebrate. She only hoped and prayed she wouldn’t cross path with a certain someone, other than that, the night was going to be perfect. Arielle walked towards the improvised movie theatre and sat there, food and drink in hands and excited to finally see something on a big screen.

It was a debate about whether she should stay in the villa or join in on the fun at the beach. She was skeptical about going back - even though there was going to be a bunch of people there and the likely chance of something bad happening as what she experience were pretty slim - or so she hoped - however, she still couldn’t get over her paranoia. Open the door and face your monsters, it’s the only way they will go away.  Something her grandma-ma would tell her, it seemed smart at the time, until she actually had to face her monsters. But her Dutch pride wasn’t going to fail her. So, she slipped on just a tank top and shorts - having no intentions of going in the water - and headed out towards the beach. 

“Listen.” Mateo remarked to anyone that was within earshot of the semi-drunk Argentine. “I’m not going to buy this whole ‘dead baby shark’ bullshit. Baby sharks don’t just die. They’re 100% covering something up. We just got thrown into a real life game of ‘Clue’ and I’m calling dibs on the hot character that doesn’t die.”

“Is it weird that I’m most excited about some of the movies they’ll be showing this week?” she asked, laughing mostly at herself as she sipped at the water in her cup. She hadn’t been feeling really up to partying like a lot of others on the island were, but she was trying to make the most of the situation. “They picked some really good ones.” Not to mention it gave her a moment or two to be by herself in a dark room. “Are you enjoying yourself?” she asked, turning her head slightly. 

“Come on,” Chase said, laughing as he gestured to the courts with an expectant look on his face. “You just don’t want to face me because you know you’re going to lose.” He threw the volleyball up into the air and caught it before tossing it in the other’s direction. “Just one match. If you win, you can have whatever you want from me,” he teased.
