Cloud flew up and peaked through the leaves. He let out a long, drawn-out OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!! as he flew up to her, "Well... I'm already lost so..." He said with a nervous grin, apparent that his rap was up.

"What would you do without me?" Daring said. "You can keep that compass with you until we get back to school. Just in case. We should be close to the river if we land right here, we can get to the camp easily from there." Daring said and descended through the canopy followed by Tornado.

"Get horribly lost and probably need to call on my friends for help." Cloud said plainly but with a wide grin as he followed Tor and Daring to where she said the river should be. He put a hoof to the compass hanging around his neck and smiled.

"Well, this is it." Daring said as they landed on the other side of the river. "Only a short walk back to camp." She started in that direction.

"Cool, I wonder what everypony's been doing since we left? Probably starting a fire and being bored." He said as he landed and followed Daring the rest of the way to camp.

"You're back!" Gold called out when they entered the camp. "I was just about to go look for you." Mith was at the ready made fire and Ever was hanging a towel over a branch. "Welcome back." Ever greeted them. "You missed all the excitement."

"Pfft, they discovered fire long before even I was born. Not much excitement there." Cloud joked as he trotted into camp.

Gold laughed at the joke. "So what happened?" Tor asked. "Oh, just a little brother sister argument about who was making the fire that ended in Gold almost burning off his tail." Eve told them. "It was just a little ember." Gold said. "It wasn't such a big deal."

"I grew up with a Pyro way back when. Nearly lost my mane and tail a few times too. Guy was a freak I tell ya." Cloud said rolling his eyes, "You didn't get burnt did you?" He asked, looking to Golds tail. OOC: Yes, Cloud is lying at this point. I don't think there was a Pyro in Alfalfa Unless you think there should be in which case he's not lying.

ooc: Whether there was or wasn't is up to you. The other characters aren't set in stone and has changed a few times whenever I use Ripple in something. The only sure things are Miss Ruleru and that there was a griffon girl in the class.
"Nah, I told you, just a little ember." Gold told them. "Mith just got a little excited." "I didn't get excited." Mith said. "I only took measures that prevented the situation from getting worst." "Yep, throwing a whole bucket of water on me did put it out." Gold said and Mith blushed slightly from embarrassment.

Cloud could only laugh as he could only imagine what that would look like playing out in real life, "Guess we did miss some excitement. Out trip was filled with cool things to look at, but not much more then that." Cloud said, sitting beside the fire.

"The view is half the reason we came here for." Gold said. "So it's good if you're enjoying it. You guys get comfortable, I'll start us a stew." He said and begun putting everything together. Tor and Daring joined Cloud and Mith by the fire and Ever soon joined them. "So what do you usually do when you go camping Cloud?" Tor asked him.

"Well, let's see here." Cloud said and thought back on it, "For my last camping trip so many years ago we played hide and go seek, tag, skipped rocks, normal outdoors stuff. Sword fights with sticks and the like. Can't imagine you'd be too keen on that Ever." Cloud said with a grin as he looked over to her, "Not sure what else we could do. I was really young back then so we weren't able to do more then run around till we were tired, eat, and sleep."

"I don't have any interest in sword fights, but I'm not so delicate that I can't handle a bit of outdoors." Ever told him. "Oh! Well I have a game that's perfect for the fireside." Daring said and stood up and got a bunch of firewood together that she dropped between them. "My dad calls this 'brain training', but don't be put off by that, it's loads of fun. You have to pick up sticks without disturbing any of the others, you loose a turn if you do. The pony with the most sticks at the end wins."

"Oh, sounds interesting. Game on!" Cloud said and floated over to the sticks with a determined look on his face.

"Okay Cloud, you can go first." Daring said. Gold put the put with water on the fire to get it boiling.

Cloud smiled and looked to the sticks. He thought about the safest way to go about this and took log of his resources. His hooves were clumsy as anything else and his teeth, though smoother, wouldn't be able to tell a stuck in stick to a loose one. He flared out a wing and began lightly tapping on one stick after another until one loosed itself and almost fell out of the pile. He carefully pulled the stick out with his teeth and sat it beside him, "Alright, who's next?" He said with a wide grin, obviously proud of his own resourcefulness.

"How about you Ever?" Daring suggested. "All right. I suppose using my magic would be cheating." She said as she took her time to get one of the sticks that looked the safest and gently place it next tot her. Next was Mith who looked long and hard at the stack before taking a stick from the pile effortlessly. When Tornado's turn came she took a hold of one of the sticks, but pulled to fast so most of the sticks rolled off. "Pony feathers." She said puffing up her lip with no stick beside her. Daring laughed and gathered the loose sticks together again in a pile.

Cloud couldn't help but laugh along with Daring and looked to the new pile. He watched as Daring pulled the sticks together and thought he could tell just from looking which stick was clear. He got close and took one of the sticks in his mouth. He opted to be a bit more careful then Tornado, however, and gave the lightest tug he could. Lucky for him, that stick was stuck in a bit tough and he could tell before causing another avalanche. He went for a different stick and was able to pull that one out with ease, sitting it beside him next to the first stick.

"Great work Cloud." Daring said. "But aren't you forgetting something? I still haven't taken my turn." She picked the stick up next to Cloud and placed it back on top of the pile, not too hard to take it off again. The other girls laughed at Cloud goofing up the turn order, but not in a mean way. Daring waited for Cloud to say something before continuing with her turn.

"Oh boo.... I meant to do that." Cloud said playfully, though he clearly didn't and was still a little bit upset that he messed up the turn order in his eagerness to play, "Anyway, I think I've got this. Let's get it on." He added, still full of gusto.

"Glad to hear it." Daring said with a smile. Instead of taking the easy stick on the top Daring effortlessly pulled out a stick near the bottom without disturbing the rest of the stack. But this made the entire stack a lot more unstable and even the top stick wasn't that easy to get now. "Now it's your turn Cloud, let's see of you can do that again." She grinned.

"Ooooooo, that's just mean." Cloud said with a grin and looked hard at the stack. He got close and looked intently at the stack and how it was laid out... He didn't even want to risk touching the wrong stick with his wing at this point, but still pulled it out. waving lightly beside it and creating the smallest, gentlest breeze possible. it lightly wafted on the girls and other then the top stick, which Cloud wasn't going to try and get, one other stick fidgeted ever so slightly. He carefully went and started to pull on the stick with his teeth and right as he'd just about gotten in out... flinched and flipped a couple sticks off the pile, "darn, and I was so close." Cloud said hitting a hoof lightly to the ground and still wearing a smile showing he was enjoying himself.

"I see how this game is played now." Ever said after Daring put the loose sticks back. "Alright, let me see." Ever also tried to pull a stick out near the bottom, but failed completely. "Looks like Cloud and I are on the same fence." She sighed. Mith took her time and again pulled a stick out of the pile. Tornado was extra careful this time and managed to get a stick near the top. "Yes! I did it!" She said. Daring again did the same trick, leaving the pile unstable again. "How are you doing that?" Tornado asked awestruck at how easy Daring's pulling out the sticks. "I have had a lot of practice." She grinned.

Cloud just rolled his eyes with that 'Really?' smirk painted on his face. He turned his full attention to the tower of sticks, not wanting to take too long, but not wanting to rush things either. After a few seconds, he reached for a stick close to where Daring had pulled hers. He was careful to twist and turn the stick and pull it slowly out such that the stubs on the surface didn't disturb the other sticks. It might have not been quick or efficient, but it worked as Cloud sat the stick down beside himself.

The next stick ever tried failed as well and so the turns went on until Gold spoke up. "Alright, dinner is ready. Get it while it's hot." Gold said taking out bowls for the stew. At that point Tor had two sticks and Ever had three. Mith had six and Daring had seven.
ooc: I'll let you decide how many sticks you got.

Cloud had three sticks as well. Trying to emulate Darings technique failed more times then it worked which really hurt in the end, "Woohoo, bout time. We were getting schooled at that." Cloud said, hopping up and taking his sticks with him, for no particular reason. Perhaps he'd just gotten protective over them.

"Ah, I'm last." Tornado said. "But at least Mith was second and it was fun." Ever said. "Yeah Mith, you're pretty good at this." Daring said. "A lot better than I was when I first tried the game. You should join me on an adventure." "No thanks." Mith said as they all gathered around to eat.

Cloud couldn't help but laugh out loud at Miths simple refusal. No reason was given, just 'No Thanks.' and for whatever reason this amused Cloud, "Don't worry Daring. At least you've got me to go on adventures with you... So long as it's not after curfew." Cloud said, suddenly remembering the last "adventure" they went on.

"You think I can't get you into trouble during regular hours?" Daring grinned at him. "But I guess it's good to know that good old Cloud has my back. And I'll be taking you up on that offer by the way." Gold gave them all a bowl filled with stew and they started into it.
