Gloriosa scrubbed at her hands until the dark red tinge on her palms and wrist finally came off. Using lavender soap, her hands smelt fresh after dealing with such smelly blood.

She headed outside of the lodge to see how the other campers were doing, totally abandoning the thought of what happened to Sour Sweet.

“What’s everybody up to?” She joined in on the crowd.

Some people were enjoying Archery, some still rock climbing, even after what happened to Green Heart.

“Hey Gloriosa, I've got everything under control here. This bunch is pretty responsible and knows what they're doing.” Timber came up from behind her and rested a hand on her shoulder.

“Oh jeez Timber, you scared me a bit there!”

Gloriosa laughed as she backed up to stand beside her brother.

“Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to go check up on Green Heart and make sure she's okay.”

“As far as I know she's relaxing on a lawn Chair on the Lodge porch.. But I told her Sour Sweet wasn't around, but she didn't care. She also told me Sour Sweet pushed her into the outhouse and she hurt her knee more.” Timber explained, an unsettled expression on his face.

Gloriosa sighed and only shrugged before turning around and walking off to go see Green Heart.

She hopped up on the lodge porch to see Green Heart lounging on a lawn Chair, partially laid back, but not fully.

“Green Heart, how are you doing?..” Gloriosa asked as she approached her.

Green Heart was sunbathing in the relaxing heat. Her knee relaxing on a separate Chair, and her arms were propped behind her head.

She opened her eyes to see Gloriosa.

Her cheeks immediately tinted in a light Red.

“Hey Gloriosa.” She smiled.

“How's your knee?” She smiled back as she rested her hand on Green Heart's injured knee.

“It's okay..” Green Heart shrugged. “It could be better though.. “ She sighed.

“I'm sorry to hear that..” Gloriosa gave her a sympathetic look before leaning down to peck her cheek and put her lips to Green Heart’s ear.

“Why do you come sit with me by the dock?.. I’d like to talk~” She murmured before standing back up. Not giving Green Heart much of a chance to reply as she had already turned around and headed to the dock.

Green Heart bit her lip. A million different thoughts went through her head on what could go down at the dock with Gloriosa.

She gulped before standing up with the crutches and slowly made her way to the dock.

Gloriosa was already sitting at the end of the dock, closest into the lake. Her legs dangling off the end, but she was most securely propped up with her arms, sitting on her bosom.

Green Heart sighed and made her way to the end of the dock, struggling to sit down beside her at the edge. She hesitated to put her legs down, so she kinda sat on her side.

“Don't worry, I won't push you in.” Gloriosa giggled, trying to lighten the mood.

Since Gloriosa was one of the only people she could trust, Besides Lemon Zest, she decided to then let her legs dangle from the edge as well, just like Gloriosa's.

“S-So.. Uhm, what did you want to talk to me about?..” Green Heart looked at Gloriosa in slight curiosity, and her cheeks lighting up in a light Red.

“I notice You're a little.. Lonely.” Gloriosa looked at her, trying to make eye contact.

“Do you, have any other friends?..”

“Just Lemon Zest.. She's my best friend.” Green Heart replied.

Gloriosa frowned. She felt so bad for this poor soul. The girl deserved more friends than just one. She wondered why this girl had no friends, she was kind, and all of the above.

“Why?..”

“I thought we already talked about this.. I-It's because of my skin.. And i'm very new to the school.. But I did manage to get to know everyone quite quickly..” She sighed, feeling like this was the millionth time she had to repeat herself.

“I'm sorry.. I’m just very upset that-”

“People say i'm disgusting.. That i'm Ugly and unworthy, they all say my body is nasty…” Green Heart cut Gloriosa off.

When she said this, she had looked away from Gloriosa, humiliation in her eyes. She had wrapped her arms around herself, drowning herself in loath.

Gloriosa’s eyes widened, Is this girl for real?! What a bunch of assholes!

She grabbed Green Heart's chin to move her head to face her.

Gloriosa looked into her eyes and gave her a stern look. “And you actually believe them?!”

Green Heart tried to look away. Her shoulders scrunching up, and her eyes began to water.

She shook her head up and down in shame.

“Well listen here, I know things that are Beautiful, people love to break, and I'm afraid You're Beautiful my dear.” Gloriosa told her, somewhat softly, but also somewhat harshly, only to try and shove into her brain.

“Do you understand what i'm saying to you?! Don't listen to them! They're so wrong Green Heart!”

Green Heart couldn't break eye contact with Gloriosa now.

Listening to those words, it made her feel so special. No one had ever told her this. She was just, speechless.

“I-I…”

Gloriosa smiled brightly, pecking her on, the cheek, but before she had a chance to move back, Green Heart grabbed a hold of her face and forcefully locked lips with hers, once again.

The two held it. Feeling that same pull as the first time they did it.

Moments later, they pulled back for air.

The two smiled at eachother and rested their hands on top of each others’, soon interwinding them.

What a wonderful feeling Green Heart had in her heart, this had never been so perfect.

“I-I think we should go back to the others now..” Green Heart looked to the side and blushed heavily, biting her lip at the same time.

“Alright! Let's go!” Gloriosa nodded with a big bright smile and stood up.

She grabbed Green Heart by the hand and helped her up, handing her, her crutches and all.

The two walked back together and looked around at everyone enjoying themselves.

Now some of them starting to head to the lake with canoes, and some dressed in swimsuits.

“Heh, good thing we left at the right time.” Green Heart chuckled.

“Yo Green Heart!”

The sound of Lemon Zest’s voice made Green Heart jump, as she popped up behind her.

“Have you seen Sour Sweet anywhere?? I know she was last with You!”

“U-uhm.. I don't actually..” Green Heart shook.her head and sneered.

“The last time I actually saw her was when she pushed me into the outhouse and just slammed the door..” Green Heart explained, “But when I came out, she was gone. I was going to tell Dean Cadance that she left my side, but I was honestly relieved and went off and did my own thing.”

“Yikes, okay..” Lemon Zest rubbed the back of her head and looked over her own shoulder, to look at Sunny Flare.

“Sunny Flare is looking for her.” Lemon added.

“I thought those two were fighting?..” Green Heart tilted her head to the side and raised a brow.

“Yeah, they were, but I think Sunny Flare kinda, uh, misses her… They're still a couple Y'know, and they still love each other.” Lemon Zest sighed.

This took Gloriosa by a bit of surprise. Her eyes widened a bit and her lip folded over the other as she looked up in innocent thought.

'Huh, I guess that bitch really did have some kind of heart..' She thought to herself.

"I'm sure she's around here somewhere, just look!~" Gloriosa said with the same chipper tone in her voice.

She walked away from the babbling group and snickered, knowing exactly were Sour Sweet was, suffering from karma.

~ Afternoon ~

Everyone was now sitting by the picnic tables, just after finishing dinner in the dining hall.

As a camp tradition, Gloriosa held a session to make paper lanterns.

Though, most people had finally realized that Sour Sweet was, well, no where to be found around the camp, and were distracted and not really in the mood to make paper lanterns, but as a way to get things off their minds, they did so.

Green Heart sat alone with Gloriosa, and Lemon Zest sat with Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare, talking things over.

Sunny Flare was in a extremely bad mood, getting very worried about where Sour Sweet was.

The two of them had been arguing for a couple days before camp, and got into a large disagreement on the bus to camp the day they arrived, and had just stopped talking to each other for a little bit. Sour Sweet made the harsh decision the two needed a break from each other while they were at camp.

Though knowing that Sour Sweet was probably hiding from everyone, or she was lost in the woods, she was pissed knowing that Gloriosa nor Timber were taking any kind of action towards trying to find her.

Gloriosa told then told the campers to come over to the dock and put their lanterns in the sky.

The campers did so.

As they watched in silence, Green Heart stood beside Gloriosa and held her hand in secret and looked up at the sky with a wide smile on her face.

The lanterns shined bright in the sky and the sun set over the trees and made a beautiful purple shading on the lake, making the lanterns complementary to the sky, and the mood.

A few "ooh's could be heard as the campers' watched the lanterns in the sky.

By the time the campers were over it, the sun had fully set, and the night time was finally out, and it was time to hit the tents for the night.

All of the campers went to their assigned tents and headed to bed.

Sunny Flare had gotten stuck with a girl she never talked to, so she had no one to take her frustrations out on, or just, talk about her feelings with. She couldn't sleep tonight, knowing that she couldn't say goodnight to Sour Sweet, which the two actually did every night, despite having taken a break from each other.

But Sunny Flare tried to look on the bright side of things, maybe Sour Sweet would go back to her tent, after hiding all day.

This subtle thought made her more relaxed, and she soon fell asleep.

Everyone else slept fine after that, except for Green Heart, being alone in a tent out in the woods put her on edge, and made her a little paranoid. It was dark in the tents, and the silence of the night, but only the fade noises of owls cooing and bugs chirping, made it even worse for her.

She had just closed her eyes tightly, in hopes of falling asleep, under the only comfort she had was a large thick blanket that she had covered herself.

But her eyes quickly shot open when she heard the sound of the tent flaps opening slowly.

Green Heart almost screamed, but her head lowered and she covered her mouth when she realized it was only Gloriosa.

"Fuck.. You scared me so much..." She huffed, sitting up in her bed to look at Gloriosa.

Gloriosa giggled, "Whoops, sorry.." She shrugged.

"I-Is there something you need?.."

"Well, I realize Sour Sweet is still not back, and I know from my own personal experience it's no fun sleeping in one of these tents alone... I just wanted to know if you where interested in sleeping the lodge, with me?.." Gloriosa asked. Finally, some blush was on her own cheeks for once when she asked that.

"R-Really?!... Uhm, I mean, are you sure?..." Green Heart practically jumped out of the bed when she heard the offer, but didn't want to sound too ecstatic.

"I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't sure.~" Gloriosa laughed at Green Heart's reaction. "Come on.. Besides, its chilly out here, and I can guarantee a much more warmer place, and a more comfy bed." She smirked.

Green Heart grabbed her crutches without say and grabbed a blanket before grabbing Gloriosa's hand, and the two headed to the lodge.
