"Oh, and the books I gave you are also water proof and fairly fire proof. They were made for survival in and so if you take them with you they should be a valuable tool to own." Lapis left them in the nurse's cabin on that note. She whistled as she started to fiddle with the remote to the robot chicken. The three now feared leaving the cabin due to the possible terror it could wreak on them.

"Do you want some help there?" Asher was looking at the two who had been wrapped head to toe in bandages.

"Well yeah, I can't even reach my chips on the table over there. I am starving." Laura was nearly drooling looking at the chips that she had left on the table when she first walked in. Asher and Jackson had forced themselves to stop wondering where all the food came from. They just understood that she needed to eat more often than other people.

Feeling a little bad for leaving Jackson to figure out his own situation, Asher started to unwrap the bandages holding Laura's arms in place.

"I don't think everything she showed us is medical. I feel like she just wanted to wrap us up like a spider does with its prey." Laura was more angry because she was hungry than because of the crash course on first aid. However. Asher and Jackson couldn't really say she was wrong. They were both lost as to why she needed to stabilize them so much that they couldn't even move a finger.

Asger grabbed some of the scissors for cutting medical tape nearby and started to rip away the rest of the bandages on Laura. He left the smaller ones that were covering the scratches she had gained from the things she ran in to while running.

" I think you really need to get some more practice in while running. I feel like every time you run off you have another scratch." Asher was more stating a fact than any form of insult. But instead of worry Laura took it as a challenge.

"Yo don't think I can use my super power well enough? Then ow about we spar tomorrow morning too. We should be able to do so before the other campers get here." She had ice in her voice which made Asher toss aside any idea of refusing.

"Weren't we already planning to do that?" Asher remembered Garnet had said there would be sparing in the morning but was a little foggy in the details.

"Whatever you two plan to do tomorrow morning is up to you, I need to focus on the important classes before I need to get points. I might just skip that part and go build my own shelter." Jackson had been having a debate in his head whether he would try for points and an easy stay at camp or just go all in on camping and build his own survival shelter. Either way, he would be learning about shelters.

"You really want to rough it out in the forest? I think it will be tough, but with so many campers around I am pretty sure wild animals will avoid this place." Asher's first thought was the danger, but he soon pushed that way since the animals would hate the noise made by campers.

"I don't see why not. I checked out the camp store and the tents are cheaper than the cabins. Plus there are a lot of natural fruits and root vegetables in the area. I am not worried at all about it at all. It would be a one week camping vacation, people do it for fun." Jackson seemed fairly committed to doing this so Asher couldn't argue with him on it. He also sounded like he had plenty of research.

"Since we won't have much chance before the other campers get here, do you two want to come check out the obstacle course?" Laura looked like she was more excited about this than any of the previous activities.

"You have been there already, right? Have any tips?" Asher knew that getting the lowdown from Laura could help him maximize his points.

"Run fast and you won't need to worry about the obstacles." Laura just shrugged like this was an easy thing. The problem was that she could run faster than Jackson and Asher combined.

"Actually, I want to try the obstacle course. I have heard that people do them during running races. It should be a lot of fun." Jackson was imagining something similar to an amusement park that he would need to run through instead of getting on rides.

"Well then, let's go." Asher took the lead while Laura ran ahead. The obstacle course wasn't far from the camp but the entrance was deceiving. T the start it was just an open area at the start of a path.

"The run to the real start is a bit twisty but once you get to the first thing it gets really cool" Laura only gave the two boys this hunt before she rushed off. With nothing else to do the boys started off on a slight jog.

They moved down a clearly marked trail which was much more flat than the hiking trail. It was a great surprise since Asher had expected a more challenging jog. However, no sooner had he begun to believe this then, the trail started to change. There was a sharp decline and the trail started to weave side to side as it went down the hill. There were rocks and bushes added in to the mix slowing the two.

"Just a bit twisty," Jackson grunted as he ran. Asher didn't have the available focus to reply but he was going to say the same to Laura if they even caught up to her.

The hill started to even out but when the boys looked in front of them they saw that their going would not be easier at all. The obstacle course was about to truly start and it was going to test them to the top of their abilities. "How many obstacles did they say were in this course?" Jackson looked at Asher with the question.

"Pretty sure they didn't tell us." The two just looked on anxiously.
