Sunscreen, extra socks,

emergency rations.

Brock, we’re going to

Enviro-Camp, not the Amazon.

I have a reputation to

protect!

I was the top trail scout in--

Troop 404, yeah, you

mentioned.

Several times.

Hey, check it out!

He got badges in knot tying,

basket weaving--

Hey, you never know when you

might need to weave a basket.

(Giggling)

(Horn honking)

Morning, everyone!

I’m Julia, the director of

Enviro-Camp.

Remember my name; you’ll have to

yell it if you get lost in the

woods!

Just kidding.

And this is Alex.

Please be extra nice to him

because he’s the one who’s gonna

feed us this weekend.

Hey, guys!

"Hummana."

Stop drooling, it’s

undignified!

Okay, folks!

All aboard.

(All chattering)

There’s some empty seats in the

back there.

STUDENT: Hey!

Hi, oh, we’re gonna have a

great time.

Come on in.

ALDEN: Thanks!

Lorena Smithkin?

Here.

Maria Nunziatina Wong?

(Giggling)

Here.

Just Maria, please.

Sure thing.

That’s everyone, so let’s roll!

(Cheering)

BROCK: Yeah, let’s go!

Nunziatina?

ALDEN: Good one!

(Laughing)

My mom filled out the sign up

sheet.

It’s a family name, okay?

I wouldn’t laugh.

Your middle name is worse.

(Grunting)

You told me you didn’t have

one.

I- I don’t.

Alden’s just kidding.

Right.

You know, I’m gonna find out

eventually.

There’s nothing to find out.

I don’t have a middle name.

(Whistling)

Hi, it’s Sharon, right?

Oh, I wasn’t staring.

I just like your necklace.

It’s cool.

Oh, thanks.

It’s from India.

Wow!

You’ve been to India?

Nah, not yet, but maybe next

year.

I’m saving up to go before

college.

It’d be so cool, ’cause I’m

really into yoga and meditation.

(Gasping)

I love yoga!

So, did your girlfriend give you

that necklace?

Nah, I don’t have a

girlfriend.

JULIA: Okay, campers!

We’re gonna start things off

with a scavenger hunt.

Earth to Sharon.

Sorry.

But instead of having you

look for feathers or moths, I

want you to look for stuff that

isn’t natural.

Like food wrappers and pop cans.

This sounds suspiciously like

picking up garbage.

Bingo!

We’re going to give Mother

Nature a hand by getting rid of

what doesn’t belong here.

And, as a bonus, there’s a prize

for finding the most interesting

trash.

Now, everyone grab a partner.

Alex?

Are you coming?

No, I’ve got to go set up the

tents, but have fun!

Hey, wanna be my partner?

Maria’s got Brock.

Sure.

(Hawk screeching)

I was just thinking, I

probably wouldn’t be here if

Marlo and I were still together.

Really?

Yeah, she’s not into camping,

and she wasn’t keen on me doing

stuff without her.

Well, I’m glad you came.

Me too.

It’s great being here again, you

know, with you.

SHARON NARRATING: Why was he

looking at me like that?

Was there something in my

braces?

Is that a deer?

Where?

Huh, I don’t see anything.

Oh, sorry.

False alarm, I guess.

Great find, Sharon!

This must be fifty years old.

I think we have a winner.

(Cheering)

BROCK: All right, way to go,

Spitz!

All right, Sharon!

Your prize, Madame.

Marshmallows!

Thanks.

I hope you’re gonna share

those.

Definitely.

It looks like we have time

for a swim before lunch.

Who’s in?

(All chattering)

Alex, you know I’m

vegetarian, right?

Yeah, it was on your sign up

form.

It’s just that marshmallows

aren’t actually vegetarian.

There’s gelatine in them, from

cow bones.

No way, I didn’t know that!

So, you won’t mind if I don’t

have any?

Of course not!

You know what?

Forget the cow candy.

I’m gonna come up with a prize

that’s more like you.

You know, something special.

Come on, let’s go swimming!

Hey, thanks for saving me an

extra trip.

Oh, no problem.

I love carrying things.

Hey, Brock, if I tell you

something, do you promise not to

freak out?

Sure.

I think I like Sharon again.

What?

Way to not freak out.

When did this happen?

I don’t know, I’ve been

thinking about it for awhile.

And then this morning when we

were alone on the trail, there

was this moment.

Moment?

Yeah.

We just kinda looked at each

other, and for a second, it felt

like we never broke up.

I don’t know, dude.

You guys have a great friendship

now.

Are you sure you wanna mess it

up?

No, I’m not sure.

That’s the problem.

I don’t even know if she’s

interested.

You want me to find out from

Maria?

No, no!

Don’t tell Maria.

Tell Maria what?

BOTH: Nothing!

Yeah, right.

And Brock doesn’t have a middle

name.

Oh, why are you guys keeping

secrets from me?

Don’t you trust me?

(Gasping)

Or maybe the secret is about me.

It’s not about you, I swear.

It’s just boring guy stuff.

Yeah, well, you better be

really boring.

Whew, thanks.

Whew.

I wanna keep this quiet for

now.

You’re welcome.

But don’t be too quiet, or

Sharon’s gonna get distracted by

the scenery.

Why, what do you mean?

(Giggling)

SHARON: You’re so--

(Giggling)

Good point.

I guess I better make a move.

Whoa!

Whoa!

(Splashing)

You go next.

Thanks!

Whoa!

(Splashing)

Hey, Sharon, you okay?

Fine, great.

It’s not as scary as it

looks.

I know.

I just couldn’t make myself

jump.

I hate looking like a coward in

front of...everybody.

I don’t want to be the only one

who doesn’t jump.

Then I won’t jump either, so

you won’t be the only one.

Really?

You’d do that?

It’s no big deal.

Come on, lunch is ready anyway.

(Sizzling)

(All chattering)

I’m starved.

Me too.

Where did these come from?

Oh, that was so sweet of him.

Ugh, I can’t believe she

thought it was Alex.

Dude, if you tie your boots

any tighter, your feet will fall

off!

The guy’s eighteen.

Does Sharon really think he

likes her?

He is paying a lot of

attention to her, and now he’s

getting bonus marks for your

flowers.

Well, I can’t tell her the

truth now.

I’ll look like a total idiot.

I’ll just have to try harder to

show her how I feel.

Alex must like me.

What else could this mean?

It might just be a

replacement prize for the

marshmallows.

You think so?!

But he’s being so nice to me!

He’s a counsellor ; he has to

be nice to us.

Well, how am I supposed to

find out what he’s thinking?

I can’t just come out and ask

him.

What if I’m wrong?

Okay, okay.

Don’t take it out on your hair.

Look, we’re going to spend the

whole afternoon with Alex on the

hike.

All we have to do is watch for

more proof that he likes you.

You’re right.

We’ll figure it out.

You didn’t happen to bring a

pair of scissors, did you?

There was a storm a few weeks

ago, so we may have to clear

some fallen branches off the

trail.

Thanks!

Hey, be careful, it’s

slippery.

(Thwacking)

Ow!

Jones!

Sorry.

(Frog croaking)

(Insects buzzing)

Ow!

Ugh, the bugs are eating me

alive.

Well, take it as a

compliment.

It’s because you smell good.

Here, use my bug spray.

Oh, man.

(Coughing)

MARIA: Alden, ew!

SHARON: Ew, man!

Well, you’ll have more

control if you put your inside

hand on the T-grip.

My what hand on the where?

Here, let me show you.

All right, you hold it here, and

here.

All right, now try that.

That is better, thanks!

Oh, no, my hat!

Hey, don’t lean so far!

BOTH: Whoa!

Alden!

Got it!

(Coughing)

Don’t worry about me, I’m

fine.

(Sighing)

Sitting down is good.

Great hike, guys.

We’ll sleep well tonight.

This stinks!

Well, our clothes wouldn’t

stink if somebody hadn’t tipped

the canoe.

I mean, it stinks that no

matter what I do to impress

Sharon, I come out looking like

a fool.

Maybe it’s a sign that you

guys aren’t meant to be.

No.

I think it’s a sign that I need

to be a little more direct.

What are you gonna do?

SHARON: I’m freezing!

Is anyone else getting chilly?

Well, I guess I should light

the fire.

Hey, I’ve got an idea.

Sharon, you look freezing.

Yeah!

Why don’t you put on another

layer?

I was just gonna suggest

that.

It’d be a real drag if you got

sick.

That’s a good idea.

Yeah, that should do it.

She’s seen my sweater tons of

times.

At first I was confused.

The sweater wasn’t mine, and it

was too big to be Maria’s.

Then, I figured it out.

It had to be Alex’s sweater.

(Gasping)

Could he be any sweeter?

That’s a little big on you.

I think it’s perfect.

It even smells nice.

Oh, man, I can’t believe she

didn’t recognize my sweater.

I’ve worn it a million times.

Chill.

At least she thinks you smell

good.

There’s a lot of whispering

going on here.

What’s the big secret?

We were, uh, playing broken

telephone.

Something’s gonna get broken

all right.

♪ This is the song that never

ends ♪

♪ It just goes on and on, my

friends ♪

♪ Somebody started singing it

♪ Not knowing what it was

♪ And they’ll continue singing

it forever just because ♪

Make it stop!

Please, somebody make it stop!

♪ This is the song

(Giggling)

Hey, if we’re gonna sing, can

we at least sing a real song?



SHARON: I wish I played the

guitar.

A friend tried to teach me once,

but I was hopeless at it.

ALEX: Well, maybe you just

didn’t have a very good teacher.

That’s it, he’s going down.

Tell you what, why don’t I

give you a guitar lesson?

As your prize for finding the

pop bottle.

I’d love that!

Hey, you got a Harlan special

edition!

You mind if I try it?

Go ahead!

You play?

Oh, a little.



Hey, not bad!

Alden, why don’t you go roast

a tofu weenie?

Nah, already had one, thanks.

Come on, I can tell you’re

still hungry.

Hey!

Looks like you have a rival.

I think Alden likes Sharon too.

Too?

I don’t have a thing for Sharon.

I mean, I like her a lot, but

not like that.

Why are you showing off?

Nobody wants to hear you play

right now.

Oh, yeah?

Well, maybe nobody wants to hear

you flirting with Alex.

SHARON: I wish I knew what

was up with Alden.

He was fine all day, but then he

was totally grumpy at the

campfire.

Huh, and they say girls are

moody.

I’ll talk to Brock.

He’ll know if something’s going

on.

Although, there’s no guarantee

he’ll tell me.

He’s being all secretive.

Are you gonna sleep in that?

It’s Alex’s.

I may never take it off.

You know, I had my doubts at

first, but after Alex left you

those flowers and now that

sweater, he’s definitely into

you.

I never thought an older guy

would be interested in me.

I can hardly believe it.

Well, why not?

You’re a catch!

Yeah, a real guy magnet.

(Giggling)

Seriously, I’m really happy

for you.

Your love life’s been rough this

year.

You deserve to have this work

out.

Thanks, I hope it does.

So, what’s your next move?

Well, Alex told me he was

going to Jump Rock at sunrise to

do yoga.

That sounds like an

invitation.

That’s what I thought!

It’ll be the perfect chance to

tell him that I like him too.

Sorry, dude.

I know how much you wanted that

to be you.

It’s not just that, Brock.

Because of the stuff I did,

Sharon thinks Alex is into her.

She’s gonna make a total fool of

herself.

What am I gonna do?

(Loon calling)

Break a leg!

Thanks!

Good luck, Jones.

Thanks.

I’m gonna need it.

(Gasping)

Alden, wait!

What’s wrong with this stupid

zipper?!

Ugh, I don’t believe this!

Well, they probably bought this

stupid tent on stupid sale.

Did you get up on the wrong

side of the tent this morning?

You have to go and stop

Alden!

Sharon’s meeting Alex and they

need privacy.

Understand?

Um, right now?

Yes, right now!

What’s wrong?

Nothing, but-- it’s just that

I, you know--

I don’t know why you’re

keeping secrets all of the

sudden, but right now, I don’t

care.

This is important to Sharon.

Give me one good reason why you

won’t go and stop Alden.

Because Alden likes Sharon

again.

(Gasping)

I don’t believe you!

I’m serious.

Alden’s got it bad.

He’s been thinking about this

for awhile.

I wanted to tell you from the

start, but Alden made me promise

not to.

Oh, why did he take so long

to figure this out?

It’s too late.

Sharon and Alex are an item now.

You think so, huh?

Well, yeah.

He gave her flowers and lent her

his sweater and-- and--

Alden did all that stuff!

That’s what he went to tell

Sharon.

Whoa.

I guess they do have a lot to

talk about.

(Groaning)

Oh, no!

Oh, Alex is waking up!

Sharon?

Alden?

What are you doing here?

I need to talk to you about

some stuff that happened

yesterday.

Okay, but does it have to be

now?

I’m meeting Alex for yoga, and

he’ll be here any second.

It definitely has to be now.

I don’t know how to say this--

Quickly would be nice.

I’m the one who left the

flowers for you, not Alex.

And the sweater was mine too.

I was trying to send you a

message, but you weren’t getting

it.

I just had to tell you it was

me, so you wouldn’t be thinking

it was him.

Well, that’s it.

I better go.

Wait!

What message were you trying to

send me?

I guess I wanted you to know

that...I miss being the the guy

who gets to give you flowers.

I still like you, a lot.

But, it’s obvious you don’t feel

the same way about me.

I- I don’t know how I feel.

I haven’t let myself think about

you that way for a long time.

I mean, you broke up with me.

It wasn’t my best decision

ever.

But what about now?

I don’t want to get hurt again.

How do I know you really mean it

this time?

I’m here, aren’t I?

I’m spilling my guts just to

keep you from being embarrassed

in front of Alex.

What more proof do you need?

But, well, this would change

everything.

We have a great friendship now.

And I don’t want to lose it.

That scares me too.

That’s why it took me so long to

say something.

But, since it’s out there, what

do you think?

I don’t know.

Sharon, stop!

Sharon!

(Screaming)

Sharon!

(Coughing)

It’s okay, just breathe.

See?

I told you the jump wasn’t that

scary.

Says you.

But Alden was right.

I wasn’t scared anymore.

Suddenly, somehow I felt like

anything was possible.

Even this.

What happened to you two?

You’re soaking!

We were down at Jump Rock.

We decided to make the jump

after all.

Now there’s something I

haven’t seen for awhile.

It’s kind of a surprise to me

too.

I’ll be right back, okay?

Just gonna put some dry clothes

on.

I’ll be here.

Awww!

I had to tell Maria.

She dragged it out of me.

It’s okay, it’s not a secret

anymore.

Okay, does it occur to either

of you that if you hadn’t kept

this a secret, it would have

avoided a lot of confusion?

Sure, but what fun is that?

Oh, mama mia.

(Giggling)

I just hope that’s the only

thing you’re keeping me in the

dark about.

Well, there is one other

thing.

(Indistinct whispering)

Get outta town!

It’s true.

Maria, I just thought of

something.

What happened to Alex?

He never showed up for yoga.

Hey, did somebody do

something to my tent?

(Giggling)

Very funny, you guys.

Now, how could that have

happened?

Sorry I made fun of your knot

tying badge.

How long are you planning to

leave me in here?

Well, I guess we should let

him out.

Come on, Shelby.

See?

That’s exactly why I was keeping

it a secret.

MARIA: Wow, these knots are

complicated!

BROCK: That one’s a sailor’s

knot.

I couldn’t tell you before,

but you look really good in my

sweater.

Thanks.

And for the record, I still

think it smells great.

ALEX: Uh, could you guys work

a little faster?

Well, nature’s calling, if you

catch my drift.

(Giggling)
