The hermits all stressed out about their builds, redstone and the humongous Moon. So the idea
that Tango and Keralis had in mind was to plan a camping trip! Inviting as much hermits as they wanted this to be nice break. The hermits who came started with Mumbo, Grian, Impulse, Pearl, Scar, Cleo, Gem, Xisuma, False, Etho, Iskall, Doc, Cub, Ren, Zedaph, and the players who planned this.

Now not all the hermits left as they needed to finish something. No hermits offered to help if they didn't come back, Stress being a good friend (Mother) had offered to help them if something is wrong with any injuries or was lost and couldn't come back home. Tango decided it was only gonna be a week, but if they didn't come back after a week Stress is going to come gather them again.

.

"Are you guys ready to get rid of everything stress free?" Tango yelled on he bus. Responses of yes' echoed in the bus. "Zed drive." Tango whispered at Zed and sat down at his own seat. When they started moving everyone Started talking. Tango sat with Impulse, the Architects sitting together as they all haven't talked together in a while. The girls sitting tethering thinking bout the fun they would, the others sitting randomly.

Soon Doc just suddenly realized, what Ren had told him. "Why do you have an Axe?!" "Wait why do you have an axe?" Etho asked him, "Firewood. Or do you wanna just freeze to death?" Ren shrugged pulling his axe out of his inventory. "No-" Etho replied back and soon went to sleep. It was going to be a long ride.

When they got there, it was mid afternoon. Keralis helping Pearl with the tents, Mumbo and Iskall setting up the chairs and tables. The others either helping set up tents as well, or trying to wake up some sleeping hermits such as Grian, Etho, and Ren. So once the tents were set up they moved the sleeping hermits inside and started to make some food. Cleo made some delicious Ham and turkey sandwiches (personally my favorite), and started eating. Soon later the fellow hermits woke up.

"Hi." Etho said with a yawn, "Hallo." A Swedish voice replied back. Etho sat down next to his "roommate", Iskall. Ren and Grian sitting next to each other, still a bit tiered. "Wait- didn't we disobey the Moon?" Grian blurted out, Mumbo and Scar looked at each other. "I don't think anything can happen Grian." Scar shrugged then taking another bite on his lunch.

Night had fallen and some hermits being awake making s'mores, and telling stories. The architects in one tent, Zit in the other, the girls in one BIG tent, and some there paired up randomly, except Xisuma and Keralis as he was forceing X to sleep. Everyone now asleep, until Cleo woke up to a rustling in some bushes. She got up from her tent an crept outside not wanting to wake up anyone. She kept walking and walking until she was far from the camp. She turned around to see a parrot. "Oh hi. Are you lost?" She bluntly asked. She didn't know why this parrot was here, they spawned in jungles not Dar oak forest. The parrot flew backwards and Cleo sighed.

She went walking back til she heard a hissing, think it was a creeper she turned around to see the parrot once again. Soon meeting darkness later on with a load explosion.

Zedaph woke up first and woke up his fellow friends, Tango and Impulse. He walked out with them and started to make food. Later on everyone else woke up, eating the food ZIT had made. "Mmmm, who made this?" Cub asked chewing some very good pancakes. "I made the pancakes!" Tango proudly exclaimed. "Has anyone seen Cleo?" Gem asked the other girls nodding, "no why?" Xisuma asked.

"When we woke up, Cleo wasn't there and wondered if she went to someone else's tent." Pearl added in, False seconding that with a nod. "No. Sorry." Ren said. "Maybe she went out for a walk." Mumbo whispered, which earned some sights at him. "What?" He asked. "Nothin." Doc replied back being one of the people who looked at him.

A few hermits had gone yo to look for Cleo, when all of a sudden a scream could be heard. The ones still eating immediately dropped their food and ran over to a group which surrounded a crater. "What happened?" Xisuma called out. On the flood you could see a Keralis Bawling his eyes out, a Tango and Impulse comforting him and a puking Iskall.

Xisuma steeped forward to see the large crater which appeared out of no where, seeing blood scattered everywhere. "Oh god-" Xisuma mumbled before running off a different direction soon puking his breakfast out. "What the heck happened?!" Grian shouted. "Are we being tricked?" Scar blurted out waving his hands aimlessly. "I mean.. there is respawn but that hurts quite a lot." The mustached Brit spoke. It was quiet for a bit as most hermits could be either thinking, or accusing.

"I think Grian killed Cleo.." Doc pointed at him. Grian replied back, "WHAT?! How could it be me?" "The evidence leads to you! First your great with Traps, very good with TNT and third, YOU WERE A WATCHER FOR GODS SAKE!" Doc going to far on that last one. "Dude! To far." Ren protectively said hugging the hermits. "How dare you." Grian snarled, "I thought you were better than this." "I- I'm sorry I didn't mean it!" Doc apologized.

"What's going on here?" Xisuma coming back from his old place. "Doc accused Grian for killing Cleo saying how he is good with traps, Tnt and was a watcher as well." Scar explained the situation to the admin. "That's too far and you know it Doc. He already regrets joining them you didn't need to bring it up!" Xisuma scolded the creeper hybrid. "I know, but I was blinded by anger. Someone killed a hermit Xisuma!" Doc fought back.

Xisuma sighed, "Not an excuse Doc. At least apologize." "I did though!" Doc screamed getting more angry by the second. "I don't care if you did or didn't. I wasn't there so apologize." Xisuma sternly said. "I'm sorry Grian.." Doc stated, Xisuma tilting his head forward to signal to keep going, "I'm sorry for accusing you of killing Cleo and being up your past." "Good. Now what did we learn here?" Impulse asked, as it seemed he was taking the lead for now.

"Never to accuse each other with out real evidence." Doc replied. "Okay. Grian?" Impulse glanced at the blonde Brit. "Friends are forever? Not really." Grian crossed his arms and walked into the forest. "WAIT GRIAN!" Ren said catching up with him. "He is being stubborn! He doesn't even forgive me!!" A voice faded away as the two kept walking.

Ren and Grian walked in silence, "I think you should forgive him." Ren said, breaking the silence. "I know.. but being with the watchers was horrible! Plus he brought up the watchers and started this mess. How do I not know he could be the murderer and just randomly accused anyone? What if we're just in a simulation, not even real. There's different questions that can't be answered Ren. So until this "Issue" is over I'm not forgiving him." Grian snapped. "I see what you mean but-" "No Ren! I thought of him as a brother. Someone I never had, but of course everyone in life can be a betrayer." Grian fought back. "I can tell you need alone time. I'll leave you be." Ren whispered leaving him alone.

Grian sighed, he probably lost the only person who trusted him! He was alone with his thoughts. Why did this happen? I just want a break from this mess! Finding a near by rock he sat down on the side, back facing rock, knees tucked into his chest and his head buried into his legs.

"Don't worry, I'll come get you back my love. Soon.." A voice said looking over a particular hermit.
