9:30 AM
"Did you remember the charger? You always forget it." Sean's mother was standing in her normal pose, leaning towards his doorframe slightly with her arms crossed. Perfect for someone trying to act determined but still casual.
"Yes, mom. I got it right here." Sean opened one of the duffel bag's compartments and dug around, but with no luck. He closed it and looked in another where he finally found it and showed it to his mother as proof. Not impressed, her mother straighten her pose, meaning she was starting to get worried. And since it had taken Sean a while to convince her to even go on this trip, this was not good.
Sean grabbed some last, random items chaotically scattered in his untidy room and, with force, pushed it in his bag. He quickly hurried over to his mother, gave her a kiss and squeezed his way through. She turned around. "You know, I keep telling you to make a checklist so you don't forget anything."
Sean smiled reassuringly at his mother. "And I keep telling you, It's just a week. Everything a human needs is food and water, right? And we got both, so I'll be fine." His mother looked worried as Sean happily dissapeared out the door to the car waiting outside.
Now
After using the long roasting stick Quinn handed him as a sword in an imaginary fencing match (he won), he sat down close to Booker. While listening to Amy's suggestion, Sean was already filled with enthusiasm. After nine hours in a car, he could almost do anything as long as something happened. He had barely begun toasting his first marshmallow and already he was getting restless. When Booker suggested hide and seek, Sean was about to open his mouth to answer when Harry offered a suggestion of his own. Despite rejecting Booker's idea which Sean actually liked, Harry's wasn't that bad either and Sean wondered why the group hadn't discussed if booze would be a part of the trip or not. Since not everyone enjoyed drinking and partying as much as the others, one would think it would have come up during the planning.
"Well, I didn't bring any. How about you guys?" Sean looked to the others.
