What The Luck!?

Chapter 207 - 207. Trapped

Yup, so don't tell the other campers. It is supposed to be a day where you show off what you have been learning. What you like to do in camp, and a good chance to use up your points." Garnet had always loved this day but could not help but remember the p[ast. It was a bittersweet day and not just because it was the end of that round of campers. 

"I wonder if my mom and dads will come. They really don't like the woods. They are city people for sure." Jane was already wondering what he parents would look like in the city clothing while standing in the first. 

"Knowing my parents they will probably send Cara and go on a date day. They could really use it though so I won't be angry when it happens." In asher's memories, there were many times this had happened. It was always events that were not extremely important so it was never a problem. If Asher had asked they would be there in a heart beat.

"Well, we know that my family won't be here sooo, that's an easy one." Art said this like it was no big deal, but they all knew it was something that would be eating at him. 

"Then you train harder and make sure that when you tell them about it they know they missed a grand time." Garnet wanted to push Art to use the feelings he had to become stronger. This seemed to reach him since 

Asher and Jane thought that Garnet had chosen a pretty good way to channel Arts' emotions and gave her thankful glances. Garnet already knew that she had reached him and was happy herself. She would never try and make a camper feel more lost unless it was to get them to where they needed to be. This was not that case and instead, a good way to deal with the more negative emotions he has built up. 

The three continued to eat and finish their food after they had gotten through the subject. No one wanted to push Art any more and they had already reached the main points of their conclusions. "Go make some points and train well. I expect all three of you to be unable to do anything else after today but recover." Garnet tried to encourage them but she knew they were going to be pushing themselves to their breaking points regardless of what she said. 

Asher, Jane, and Art all looked up suddenly. There was a small metallic scratching and soft chirps drawing their attention. "What is that?" Art looked up and only saw a fluffy feather had of a bird pecking at something in the gutter."Guys, do you think it's stuck?"

"If it is we should help it." Asher was already jumping in to action and motioning for Art to give him a leg up. 

Jane acted as a spotter while Art pushed Asher up toward the gutter on the cabins' roof. Unknown to them Garnet was making an incredulous face as her jaw had completely dropped. She could not believe that a bird had managed to get stuck in such a place. The luck of this happening now and in the exact place was too high.

Once Asher had gotten up and peered over the edge he saw the bird had gotten its talon caught in a pile of leaves stuck in the gutter. "I've got you, little fella. I will have this all cleaned out in a few seconds." Hew started to pull down the leaves and drop them to the ground. Jane and Art expertly dodged Them like they were attacks reigning down on them. 

It took only a few handfuls before Asher's hand wrapped around a round object that had caused the entire clog. As soon as he pulled it away the bird jumped in the to air and flew away in to the trees. Asher just smiled after it while cleaning off the thing that had been caught in the gutter. He was curious about what had caused such a problem. 

"I swear, we might be better off just handing it to you every morning." Garnet was tired of how easily Asher seemed to find the golden egg which was not in his hand. 

"Why was this up there? Did you hide it on the roof and expect us to climb up and find it?" Asher was worried that this was too dangerous a hiding spot before realizing that they could have hidden it partway up the cliff. 

"Asher, they choose these places because they are challenging. You know how hard it would be to find the one at the top of the entrance sign." Jane reminded him of the length that the counselors were will to go to hide the precious golden egg. 

"Toss it down then we can give you a landing area." Art caught the golden egg while he and Jane moved in to place to catch Asher as he slid down the edge of the roof.

"Why don't you three just start a detective agency. I am sure that on your morning walk for coffee when you're older you will find the holy grail or the lost city." Garnet was incredibly sarcastic seeing that another one of the hiding spots had been destroyed.

"Ehm, Here is the uhh, egg…" Asher heard her tone and felt bad for ruining the fun. But he wanted to make sure he would have the luxury cabin again along with the points. 

"Yes yes. Train well later. Just clean up the mess." Her eyes landed on Art who quickly nodded and repeatedly promised to do so. 

"So, we head untoward the obstacle course first to crush Lauras' record? Should we stop anywhere else?" Asher made sure the two knew the plan and didn't want to do anything else. Seeing that they were ready he turned to head out before a voice caught him. 

"Who is going to crush Laura?" Jackson was standing behind them just having exited the dining cabin. His face held a quizzical look since he wasn't sure how they would manage to beat Laura in speed ever.
