Marco had tried to sleep on the ride up to the Camp, but found he couldn't at all. Everything kept just playing over and over again in his head. The accusation, the arrest, the trial, the sentencing, Em's arrest, then being sent off to camp. Everything was playing over and over like the record left on the player on repeat. He was still waiting to hear back from the school to know if he was even going to be admitted back for another semester, given he had a criminal record now. His whole future was in jeopardy, just because someone didn't like the color of his skin. 

At least he still had someone on his side. His Em, his love, his eternal partner. He couldn't believe that she had gotten herself arrested just to join him on this community service for the summer. He was pretty sure her mother was going to ban him from the house for a bit once she had gotten arrested, but well, Em had pleaded her case. So, they were together, riding in the car to Camp Lava Lake. 

Once they got there, Marco hauled his duffels out of the car. Just because they were going to be around pre-teens, and teens for the summer didn't mean he wasn't going to look nice. Of course, one of the duffels also had some fun time stuff, for when he and Em could sneak off, or maybe some of the other counselors. 

He blinked in surprised as Em nudged him and he saw Aster's car there. Aster was going to be working with them that summer? He hadn't said anything before. He snorted a bit at Em's comment about the gas, knowing full well Aster could afford it, but it also probably cost quite a lot to fill up that tank. 

[color=purple]"Aster, darling, what are you doing here? I thought you'd be off traveling this summer. Don't tell me you also accepted a deal of some sort. ...What did you do?"[/color] Marco walked over to Aster, after kissing Em on the cheek. He knew full well that Aster wouldn't be somewhere like here unless it was for similar reasons to him and Em. He did eye Aster's luggage, and chuckled softly. [color=purple]"Aster, you can't threaten property damage, not if you're here for that already. Is that what you did? Oh Aster."[/color] Marco had a bad feeling that Aster had done something to someone's property, and that's fully why he was there.

He groaned internally as his friend insulted the man that was there to escort them and took a deep breath, and then looked the other three over. He then noticed the hankies in the darker haired boy's pocket and nearly growled lowly at that. Oh, he was down for fun times it seemed. He would have to chat with Em about that later, as per usual. He was fully sure they would separate them by gender, which was boring, but that didn't mean he couldn't have some fun. 

[color=purple]"We should get going. I really don't want to be up here when the sun sets. As he said, wild animals are around."[/color] He teased as he walked over to Em and planted a kiss on her neck.
