Hey guys! This is my first fanfic on this site and I'm super excited to be on here. I hope you all enjoy this story, most of the chapters are done but I'm not done editing them. All characters in Camp Camp (except Bonquisha and Daniel, as well as any other side characters) are included. Nikki and Max are the main focus but I also included shipping Nerris and Harrison, Ered and Dolph, and eventually Preston and Nurf! (Possibly Tabii and Neil but only after the climax of the story). Anyways enjoy!

Max grumbles as he takes his headphones out, seeing the dreaded, "Camp Campbell" sign fly past the bus window. Max, now 16, was forced to return to the dreaded Camp Campbell, home of David. His parents told him that it would be good to cherish one last year of being a camper or he would regret it. Max normally wouldn't care about nostalgic bullshit like returning to Camp Campbell for, "one last year of fun", but heard that every camper in his old group had the same idea. They all agreed to go and make it the greatest last year at Camp Campbell of their lives! Max was determined to make it a year to remember... at least for David.

After getting off the bus, Max noticed he was the last camper to arrive and was glad of it. He hated having to awkwardly wait for campers to arrive with David. Everyone smiled and greeted him and Max was shocked at how old everyone had gotten. Physically, the most noticeable changes were only on a few campers. Space kid was still really short but got super ripped, which was kind of laughable. Dolph got way taller and was actually starting to get a thin mustache which made everyone slightly uncomfortable. Nerris was clearly still into her enchantress phase. However, she got taller, curvier, and grew her hair out slightly, but wore it in two low buns. Even Max changed in appearance a bit. He sported the same attitude but was much taller. Under his unzipped sweatshirt he wore a loose fitting yellow tank top.

Everyone else pretty much looked the same except for changes in height and hairstyle. Max walked over to Neil who was much taller than a lot of the other campers.

"Hey, Neil."

"Oh, hey Max! It's been a while. How's your summer been?" The tall brunette asked, happy to see his friend again.

"Lame compared to this love fest..." Max replied dully, observing with a disgusted look as everyone hugged each other happily. "Where's David anyways? I'm surprised he's not getting in on this. He usually loves this kind of sappy bullshit, it's like he gets off on it!"

"Eww, Max! And I dunno, I've only seen Gwen so far and she seems very unhappy to see us."

"No surprise there." Both boys chuckle as they remember all the times they tortured their poor councilors.

"Hey, guys!" A familiar girl's voice called. Max and Neil stopped laughing as they watched Nikki walk over. Their jaws dropped at how different she looked in only a few years. Her curly aqua colored hair had grown long so she kept it up in a high pony tail. She still sported her curly bangs and had grown much taller almost as tall as Max! She had also gotten curves which Max would have observed longer if she hadn't noticed him looking.

"Max! Eyes up here. Gosh, it's been a while hasn't it?" Nikki laughed, smiling up at the two boys she cared so much for.

"Yea, sure has." Max said, cheeks growing red slightly from being caught.

"Wow, Nik! You've really changed since we last saw you! How's high school been?" Neil asked excitedly.

"Ugh, the fucking worst! Classes are way too hard to keep up with." Nikki exclaimed.

"Totally relatable." Ered chimed in as she walked past. Ered still looked about the same except that her hair was now wrapped into a high bun. Nikki was about to converse with Ered, the coolest camper in Camp Campbell, when her thoughts were interrupted by a certain red-headed councilor.

"GOOOOOD MORNING CAMPERS!" David called, causing everyone to go quiet. All except for Max who groaned loudly at the sight of David, "the bane of his existence".

"It's so good to have the whole gang of campers I know and love, back together in one spot! Hashtag squad goals! Am I right?"

"Aghhhhhhh! Why?! Hashtags died like 5000 years ago you stupid motherfucker!" Max screamed, burying his face in his hands from cringing.

"...Anyways! I have so many fun things planned for this session, it's gonna be great!" David continued, seemingly unfazed by Max's comment. "But first, let's set up tents and get ready for another great time at Camp Campbell. Ugh, you campers grow up so fast!" David said the last part under his breath as he watched the high schoolers grab their bags and head to the usual spot to set up tents.

Gwen met them all there, reminding them how to set up a tent and then pairing them as roommates.

"Okay, so I get that you guys are probably filled with hormones and gross stuff like that so David and I had to sign a contract saying that you guys wouldn't get up to any... funny business." Gwen cringed at her own words and then cleared her throat. "So, I'm going to split you up, boys with boys, and girls with girls. That's the way that-"

"And what if we're gay?" Preston asked angrily. He apparently came out last year but he was still dorky old Preston so no one wanted to date him.

"Dude, don't make this more complicated. This is how Mr. Campbell wanted it to be so we're doing this his way. You guys were split up this way when you were younger too, so I don't get why you guys have a problem with it." Gwen then began to split campers up. Neil and Max were obviously put together again. Nikki, Ered, and Nerris were all going to share a big tent since they were the only girls. Dolph and Harrison, space kid and Preston were paired together. Nurf got his own small tent because he was a "danger" to other campers even though he was sent to military school for high school and had a much better behavior.

The campers set up their tents and then headed to the mess hall to get lunch and afterward start activities. The first activity was arts and crafts, which only Dolph was fond of. Max, Nikki, and Neil decided it was the perfect opportunity to bail. They ran towards the docks at the lake and sat under a tree so that they weren't noticed.

"I miss sneaking away and trying to escape." Neil sighed, smiling ahead.

"Yea, it really gives you an adrenaline rush." Nikki added.

"Guys, we need to make our last time at this god-forsaken place something to remember! Pretending to run away from camp is just stupid. We should run away for real!" Max exclaimed, receiving confused looks from his two friends.

"Why would we do that? It's our last session at Camp Campbell." Neil explained.

"Yea Max, what gives?" Nikki added.

"We're gonna come back." Max replied, rolling his eyes. "But remember what we found in town? Bars, strip clubs—"

"Technology stores!" Neil cut in.

"Ew... and dress stores." Nikki added.

"We're not going to go shopping for dresses Nikki, trust me. I have a plan."

"Is getting wasted in a bar part of your plan?" Neil asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's part of it. Trust me guys, this will be a night to remember." Max promised, giving a small smirk.
