  "Ahhhhhh!!!!!" Penelope screamed.

  "Brian cut it out" Jordan said, consoling Penelope.

  "Sorry guys. Calm down." Brian said.

  "We are going to turn in too." Jordan said helping Penelope up.

  The fire was great and Brian thought he would have some great alone time with Carla. He moved from his seat and sat next to her. He didn't know what to say so he commented on the story.

  "Great story. It was cool."

  "Thank you. I heard it a thousand times and it still spooked me every time my dad told it. Look I don't want to skip out on you, but I want to go to sleep. There is a hiking trail I want to do tomorrow. Will you do it with me?" Carla asked.

  "Sure I will" he said with a smile.

  "Okay, thanks again. Good night."

  "Good night Carla." Brian said.
