Cloud only smiled, "No... Well, sorta. Not about her but an incident tied to her. Anyway, I choose Daring next. Truth or Dare." He quickly changed the subject like it wasn't that important.

Ever didn't push the subject and left it at that. "I guess I'll choose truth this time." Daring said.

"Alright... ever had a crush on anypony?" he asked as calmly as though asking about the weather.

"Hmm... Well there was this one colt back when I was still a little filly, but he gave another filly a card on Hearts and Hooves day and I hated him ever since. Not really, but you know how silly it is when you're that young. And I thought I had a crush on you back when we first met, but that turned out to be curiosity more then anything else."

"Hmm, curiosity killed the cat." Cloud said almost out of forced habit then meaning anything by it, "Anyway, Your turn." he added, content with her response.

"That's enough." Gold interrupted them. "There's time for one ghost story and some smores and then it's off to bed." "Yeah!" Tor exclaimed and grabbed a packet of marshmallows. "So who's going to tell the ghost story?"

"Phew, I was running out of stuff to ask anyway." Cloud said and looked to the fire. He couldn't think of any ghosts stories himself and decided to let them pick one.

"How about you Daring?" Tornado asked. "You said you knew some good legends." "Alright." Daring said sitting up. "Ever heard about the Chupacabra?" She asked mysteriously.

"Nope." Cloud said, despite having heard the legend. He didn't want to ruin it for the others, though he was still interested in her telling of it. Perhaps the legend had changed in the years that passed.

"Nopony knows how it looks or what it is." Daring began as the others sat closer and ate their smores. "But the stories say that it always appear close to farms where chickens and sheep would disappear without a trace and sometimes even a pony. Once there was this one pony who lost one of her sheep and she knew the Chupacabra was behind it. So she went into the nearby woods to get the sheep back and confront the mysterious beast."

"She's a brave one, that's for sure." Cloud said taking a smore he'd been working on.

"A very brave pony." Daring agreed and continued with the story. The others were on the edge of their seats. And at the end of the story. "And on her last night in the woods, when she finally thought she had gotten away and was almost home, she finally saw the last thing she ever would see again. THE CHUPACABRA!" Daring yelled and held up to sticks with marshmallows on them, throwing and eery shadow behind her. The three girls screamed and even Gold gave a little start.

Cloud reared back as he'd been drawn into the story. He'd not heard this particular rendition and Daring was quite the story teller, "You should be a writer... that was a super effective story." he said and his ear twitched to the sound of nothing in the forest. He was probably going to be on edge for a while.

The others nodded their agreement. "Thanks, but I'd rather go out and find what the Chupacabra really looks like and if all those stories about missing animals are really true." Daring said eating a smore. "I'll leave writing dusty old books to my Dad." "You mean like the mare in the story?" Tornado asked shivering. "Kind of." Daring said. "Accept I'll be chasing facts and not stories."

"Be sure to let me know how that turns out." Cloud said half sarcastic. He knew her dad wouldn't have that and believed the Chupacabra was just as much a myth as the Yeti or vampires. He ate the smore he'd only taken a bite out of earlier before getting lost in the story.

"I will. If you're in my future, come look me up." Daring replied. "Alright, time for bed." Gold said and started putting things away. "Aw!" Tornado said with a yawn. And the others laughed as the yawn spread to the rest of them.

Cloud gave a small yawn, though it was clear he had to fight the urge to be a big one. He shook his face a bit, "Hopefully I won't be disappearing again any time soon." Cloud said with a laugh. He got up and looked around, "Need any help with anything?" He asked Gold, not wanting to call him simply Gold, but not wanting to get thrown in a river either.

"That's alright." Gold told Cloud. "I've got everything taken care of here. You get to bed, it's going to be a long fun day tomorrow." "Goodnight Gold." Mithrel said as she got up. "Night Mith, sleep tight." "Night Gold." Ever and Tornado also said. "Night Gold, Night Cloud." Daring said and the others started saying goodnight to each other and Cloud as well.

Cloud simply said, "Night Everypony." before retiring to his tent. He curled up in the sleeping back and reached for a book. He thought about it for a moment and decided against reading himself to sleep both because it was dark in his tent and he didn't want to be too tired tomorrow morning. He sat the book down and laid his head to the pillow... and laid there, suddenly wide awake. He hated it when this happened and would simply have to wait till he bored himself to sleep.

The girls all turned into their tents and was soon fast asleep. Gold also turned in for the night soon after. The night was pleasant and forest animals gave ambiance to make it the perfect night for camping.
ooc: Didn't know if you wanted to post something in the night, since Cloud didn't go to sleep immediately, or else you can just start the next morning. Gold will be busy with breakfast.

OOC: Na, just painting that all too common scenario where you're ready to go to sleep and lay down only to suddenly be wide awake. Like me every night for the past week.
BIC: Eventually Cloud found sleep and lightly snored to himself as he lay down. The next morning, Cloud was still out cold and showed no sign of getting up on his own. Even for a study brat like him, he enjoyed sleeping in when he could.

The smell of breakfast soon woke up Tornado who was no stranger to getting up bright and early. And after she crawled out of the tent Daring also got out of her tent with a yawn. "What's that wonderful smell?" Daring asked. "Good morning." Gold greeted the two early risers. "Baked fruit with yogurt and hay." He told Daring.

Cloud was curled up tightly in his sleeping bag and even the morning rustling and ambiance didn't wake him. He was too comfortable to get up yet.
OOC: He'll rise in my next post depending on if Ever and Mith get up.

Mithrel was the next to get up. "Morning." She greeted them we she climb out of the tent and everypony greeted her back. "How did you sleep little Sister?" Gold asked her. "Well, thanks." She told him.

Cloud woke up about now but curled tightly in the sleeping bag for a second before getting up. Kind of like stretching in reverse. He wobbled to his feet and sneezed as the morning air hit him. He wasn't accustomed to open air, having spent so long in the dorm and even longer with the shadows before then. It was pleasant, but also assaulted all his senses and took a while to get used to. He shook his entire body from nose to tail which helped out his bedhead and smoothed out his tail. He didn't bring a brush, but luckily his mane wasn't too long and he just ran his hoof through it a couple times to get the desired effect. Once he was ready and fully awake, he left the tent and closed it up behind him, "Good mornin' everypony." he greeted everyone but was quiet enough not to disturb the only pony still sleeping. He did a head count and noticed Ever was not present, "Ever still sleeping?" He asked, as he joined the group near Gold and smelled the air which hung heavy with the fresh sent of breakfast.

"Out like a light." Tornado answered Cloud. "I'm glad we have so many early risers with us now." Gold told them with a smile. "Usually it's just me and Mith up this early when we're camping." Although he did sound glad there was still a small hint of annoyance that his family time with his sister was taken away.

Cloud looked around, "So where do we wash up? Like teeth brushing and stuff." He said, not sure if this would be like the backroom bit earlier.

"Just pour some water in a bowl." Gold told him. "And if you want to take a bath you'll have to wait till we go swimming."

"OK..." Cloud looked around again, "Water from the river?" he asked, assuming they wouldn't use their drinking water for such a task, "I only need to brush my teeth. I don't mess with the halitosis monster."

"No, you can use some of the water we brought up." Gold said pointing to one of the bottles.
