 Marina and Bobby started on there way , Bobby wanted to go on the out skirts of the forest to try to find a good stick he could use for spearing but Marina had her dought. She knew with the skill she already had she could do it by just swimming and catching the fish.
As she left her cabin she looked over at Bobby lead the way , since Bobby already knew where he wanted to find his stick.

 Bobby led them to the edge of the forest. As they neared the forest, with it's creepy sounds and dark shadows, Bobby didn't lose any of his cool, his eyes just kept scanning the ground looking for 6-8 long stick that they could use. As they began to go into the brush, looking all around, the cool Audio could feel the unease of his companion.
"Hey, do you want to head to the lake and I'll catch up with you in a little bit?" She seemed really confident about catching fish by hand, so he felt that he should trust her. He was a good swimmer, trained as a lifeguard, but he'd never been fishing in his life. He was just following instict and what he'd seen in movies. He was confident that they could make this work!
"Have you ever fished before?"

Marina looked over to him " Like everyday , at least once" she said with a smile. She didn't mind waiting for him and the woods truely didnt bother her. She just didn't want people catching on to them.
She didn't want to catch fish for other campers , she was a team player for only the Gulls. Unless things got switched up and she ended up on another team. As for now she only wanted to help the people who would help her to win.

Bobby laughed whole-heartedy.
"Okay, I was just trying to be a gentleman. If you're that good, then I could probably learn from you. I thought of the spear not only for fishing but in case we have issues with sharks... and whatnot."
Behind a large bush, he found a young tree that had fallen over before it got a chance to fully take root.
"A-ha!" His eyes lit up as he crouched down to lift the tall, straight, dead sapling. "This will be perfect!"
He started breaking off the unecessary side branches and discarding them.
*crack*
"If you'll lead the way back to the lake, then I'll continue cleaning off the branches along the way."
*crack*
He set to work on his spear as they walked.
*crack*
"So, who do you have your eyes on in camp?"
*crack*

Once all of the side branches were broken of, Bobby whipped out his Swiss Audio Kniff and began whittling off th burrs and smoothing the trunk into a true spear.
He was doing his best to follow Marina to the edge of the lake, without bumping into things... it was challenging, but Bobby was smooth enough to mostly pull it off... mostly!

Once at the lake Marina felt really good and calm , something was telling her to stay the night , since no real challenge had been announced. She brought some flint with her because she planned on cooking some fish before they went back.
" Hey Bobby Im going to go swimming , I need you to stay here and when I fish , be ready with the bag ok" this might of seemed like a lame job , but Marina knew it wasn't , it was hard keeping a bag open with a flopping fish.

Bobby took up a seat on a rock not far from the waters edge, where he could have a good view of the beach behind them as well as of Marina in the water, so he could watch her back as well.
"No problem."
Bobby unzipped the bag and tied it to some reeds at the edge of the lake. This way, the fish would be trapped by still in water so they'd stay fresh. Then he sat back and started whittling away at the point of his spear. It didn't take long for the point to sharpen.

Marina spent a good twenty minutes in the water before she caught her first fish. It took her awhile to catch on to the fish in water , to get there habits and what not , but once she did there was no stopping her. She was in her element.
The fish was normal medium size fish , and would make someones belly happy , it looked like a bass , but she couldn't tell.
She had the fish in her mouth and looked at Bobby like 'open the bag up , so I can drop this baby in the bag' you could almost see a smile on her face.

"That is such a sweet looking fish!"
Bobby set down his newly finished spear and quickly unzipped the bag for Mar. Once she'd dropped the fish in, he zipped up the bag and made sure that it was secure, so the fish couldn't get away. Satisfied with this, he cleaned his Swiss Audio knife and put it away.
"Let's give this bad boy a try," he said, hefting the new spear and getting a feeling for it's weight. "I'll stay right here in the shallows and try my luck."
He stepped into the cool water, his eyes scanning the sea-bottom.

Bobby spotted a medium-sized fish swimming among the mud... he drew back his spear and stabbed at the fish.
Being in water, Bobby put too much oomph into his jab, and threw himself forward, his feet slipping out from under him in the mud. The Audio went down into the water, scaring off the fish he'd been trying to skewer.
Dripping water, he emerged from under the water, his ears hanging limply and his tail looking bedraggled. He climbed back to the beach, taking off his sunglasses and shaking the water out of his fur.
"Well, that was less than graceful!"
He set his spotted sunglasses on a boulder to the side and wrung some of the water out of his tail.
He made sure that his antics handn't lost the first fish that Mar had caught, and he found the fish staring up at him through the holes in the bag.
"Let's try that again."((Sorry, it's 1 AM here, I should go to bed... night night!))

Marina smiled at Bobby , he wasn't so bad. " You need to watch the fish , and learn it style , then pop the spear really fast with no hesitation Mr.Bobby" she said with a giggle.
She dived back into the water , and a few moments later popped up with a fish , she gave it to Bobby. She would watch him every now and then see if he got one himself. She giggled every now and then. He was so cute and she started to feel something warm in her heart for him , but she didn't let that take over. She felt like she had a crush on every guy that showed her any attention.
After a few Good hours , she caught about seven fish. It was harder by swimming. She then made herself a little nest by the fire and fell asleep.

For the next several hours, Bobby kept at it, learning the fish's movements, dealing with how light refracted through water, making the fish look like where it wasn't. By the end of those few hours, Bobby was getting really good at catching fish. He'd caught 5 of them.
Leaving the majority of their fish in the nylon bag, tied at the edge of the water, they cleaned and gutted a few fish to eat right now. Bobby was again thankful that he'd brought his knife. They scewered the fish on sticks and grilled them over the fire. While waiting for the fish to cook, Bobby carefully hid the nylon back amongst the reeds so it would be harder to find, then returned to the fire.
While waiting for th fish to grill, Bobby sat on a rock near the fire, and suddenly realized how tiring spear fishing could be! He knew that he'd be a little sore, but it was all worth it.
The fish was delicious, sweet, and tender. After they'd eaten until their bellies felt like they'd explode, they both curled up next to the fire and fell asleep... exhausted.

When the morning megaphone went off, Bobby sat up startled. For a moment, he coudln't figure out where he was, or what this warm, furry thing next to him was.
Once the fog cleared from his mind, he realized that he was on the beach, next to their fire, which had turned to ashes, and Marina was snuggled up next to him for warmth. Bobby smiled down at her as he carefully crawled away.
He then went and got more firewood and grilling sticks for their fish... as well as running by the messhall to get some disposable plates. When he returned, he banked up the fire and got it nice and warm so Marina wouldn't catch a cold. The cool Audio then set to work cleaning the rest of the fish in the bag and putting them to grill around the fire. Their teammates would be so thankful for fresh cooked fish this morning ((Unbeknownst to them)).
I should take a fish to Kelly as well. Marina wouldn't approve, but he'd sacrifice one of his fish for the girl who'd caught his fancy. He could kind of tell that Marina might like him as well and he didn't want to hurt her... so he decided not to say anything to her about it. He'd just quietly slip it to the cheerleader and then be gone.
He hummed merrily to himself as he kept turning the grilling fish, loving the scent. Before Marina awoke, Bobby snuck off with one of the fish...

Marina got up when Bobby was off sneaking to the other campers camp. She felt really good , when she was looking over her fur , for what she needed to brush she noticed fur that didn't belong to her. She almost gasped , she knew she went to bed first....
"Nothing happened , nothing happened" went through her head over and over. She got up and walked around , she then jumped in the water , but not to catch fish. Her bathing suit was starting to hurt since she had it on to long.
Once she felt safe , she saw a lonely fish and caught him with out a spark of regret. " Ok girl , its time to get ready , I wonder if I should wait for him" she asked herself as she put the fish in bag.
She waited for him.

On his way to find a bucket, sponge, and soap, Bobby headed back over to the beach. He didn't want Marina thinking that he'd ditched her...
He saw her climbing out of the water, with a look on her face that he couldn't understand.
"I'm sorry for leaving you and not coming back right away Mar... someone skunked our cabin and everything reeks! Axl, Lizzy and some of the others have gone behind Chefs cabin to take a tomato juice bath. I'm Looking for sponges and soap or something to clean our cabin. It's a huge mess. Wanna help me?"
What they'd thought would be a wonderful morning as they surprised their teammates with fresh fish had turned into a nightmare as no one wanted to be in their cabin with all of the stink.
