Mike POV

I woke up and Zoey was still asleep on my chest.She looked so beautiful even with messy hair and drool.Ok she was drooling on me,but that dosen't change the fact she is beautiful.I moved very slowly and her eyes fluttered open.

"Morning Beautiful." I stretched and yawned.Zoey smirked a bit.

"Yeah just as beautiful as my morning breath Bug Bite." She breathed in my face and laughed when I looked down to see I was covered in mosquito bites.

"Well if I can start the fire I'll make some biscuts and gravy." Zoey looks at me and says "I almost forgot!I bought you this hat." She gave me the hat and I smiled.

"I've always wanted a hat like this!" I put the hat on.*Gasp*

"G'day Mate.Well ain't you a beaut?" Manitoba smiled and winked.

Zoey POV

I laughed. "Come on Mike lets get some fire wood."

" The name is Manitoba and I can show you how to hunt for some birds." Now I get it! Manitoba is a alter.

"No thanks,but maybe with Mike." I smiled.

"She is a loyal one.Mike sure knows how to pick 'em." Manitoba was clearly talking to the other alters when he took off the hat and Mike returned.

"What happened?" Mike rubbed his forehead as he picked up the hat and put it in the car.

"Manitoba came and bluntly flirted with me.No big I turned him down and he took off the hat."

Mike looked shocked." He gave up control with no force?"

"Yes."

"Wow.I can't believe it.The ambitious guy gives up control.Who would have thought? Anyways wanna go on a walk?" Mike said still surprised about Manitoba giving up control.

"Sure.Where are we going?" I asked watching Mike grab his bathing suit and towel.

"I want to surprise you." Mike says as I grab my neon green one piece and towel.

"Ok."

"We're here." Mike smiled and I fell to the ground.

"Finally!Don't help me up I'm fine right here." I laughed a little until I was picked up and dropped about 100 feet into freezing cold water.

"How is the water down there!?" Mike laughed.

"Find out for yourself." I yelled.

"CANNONBALL!" Mike screamed as he fell into the water.

"Mike!" I swam under the water and his shirt was caught under a rock.I ripped some of the shirt and swam to the land with him in my arms.

Mike spit up the water and I hugged him tightly."Don't scare me like that ever again!" I felt a tear stream down my face.

"I won't try to."Mike said and hugged back."Sorry I scared you like that."

"I know you didn't mean to." I smiled and let him go.

"Beat you to the top of the cliff!" Mike yelled as he ran.

"You wish!" I yelled and ran at full sprint.After a while I finally caught up and Mike laughed.

"Told you I would win." Mike smiled.

"Oh fall of a cliff." I pushed him and laughed."Whoops!"

"You're gonna regret that!" Mike yelled as he fell into the water.

"Bet I won't!" I yelled as Mike resurfaced.

" I'm coming back up there to get ya!" Mike swam to the land,ran up the cliff and I jumped off.

"Yeah if you can catch me you wild Giga bara!" I smiled and Mike jumped into the water.

I tried to swim away,but Mike caught my foot and pulled me to him.

" I may be a wild Giga bara,but you.You swim like a cat and dive like a swan." Mike looked at me and I laughed.

I spotted something yellow in the distance and swam to see what it was.To my surprise it was Mike's swimming trunks.I swam to land,ran up the cliff,and yelled."Looks like somebody lost their trunks!"

Mike looked down and blushed. "Give 'em back!"

"Come and get 'em!" I smiled and Mike grimaced "Please!?"

"Fine,but you gotta swim to get 'em!" I threw the swimming trunks and they landed a few feet away from Mike.

"Thanks!" Mike yelled.

"No big!" I yelled as I dove into the water.

"So what do you wanna do?" Mike asked as we walked back up the cliff to gather our stuff.

"Well we could talk over some lunch." I said leaning on Mike's arm.

"Ok.Do you got a fire starter?" Mike asked looking down at me.

"Do you have matches,because I wanted to start the fire?" I looked up at Mike and he dug around in his bag.

"Here." We looked at the nature as we walked through the woods.

I ran to the camp ground and grabbed my bugspray.I sprayed the wood with the bugspray and threw a match on the wood.

"How did you know that would work?" Mike asked grabbing a few pans and some supplies.

"There is alcohol in bug spray so throwing a match on it will make it set fire very quickly because alcohol is flammable.Life in solitude will pay off after a while." I smiled feeling very nerdy.

"Oh.Cool well I'll cook the gravy and you can cook the biscuts if you want Zoe."

"Alright.So what was you childhood like?If you don't answer I'll totally understand." I ask nervously.

"Well I was bullied because of my disorder and I only had five friends.Cameron,Svetlana,Vito,Manitoba,and,Chester.My dad is a pedophile and my mom is a business woman.I was diagnosed at the age of 6 and ever since then I've had this disorder.Then,I met my first love ten years later.So how was your childhood?" Mike asked.

"I see why you haven't introduced me to your dad. Anyways,before I moved here I lived in a small town and my mom had to move after my dad died. Before,any of that happend my dad was an abusive alcoholic and beat me in a drunken rage when I was six years old.That was the main reason we had moved.I was bullied for being different and liking strange things.For a while my mom tried dating websites and showed up with several different guys after dad and her got a divorce.Then, I met the cutest oddball who happens to be you." I smiled and I turned on my phone then played Comatose by Skillet and decided to sing along.

"Hey Mike this song makes me think of you." He smiled and I blushed.The moment came to a sudden stop when I smelled a odor and looked at the biscuts which were slightly burnt.

"Biscuts are ready.How is the gravy?"

"It should be done and should soften the burnt biscuts."

"Hey I was distracted by your beautiful eyes and smile." I said and Mike blushed.

" Dang!I forgot the plates." Mike facepalmed.

"We can use the napkins as plates." I said and Mike agreed with me.

We made our plates and started to talk again.

"So what do you want to do after this?" I asked with a smile.

"I want to pack up camp,let you meet my Mom,and watch some horror movies with you."

Mike POV

"Ok.After we finish eating I can help clean up this mess we made." Zoey smiled.
