An expensive sports car zoomed into the parking lot and stopped on a dime, taking up a few parking spots as a young man of 20 years old hopped out and looked around in annoyance before pulling out his smartphone.
“Yo, what the fuck is going on here? When I hear ‘all-expenses paid weekend’, I think a resort! You’re saying I gotta spend a weekend at a fucking boy scouts camp!?” the young man shouted into his phone, tapping his foot in annoyance. “…Yeah, whatever. As long as I get paid for this gig, who gives a shit…”
He hung up the phone, then sighed before putting a big smile on and starting to record a video of himself. His attitude completely shifted, becoming excited and animated within seconds.
“Hey folks! It’s your favorite source for the best in travel, Max on the Road! Now, you all know that I looooove the outdoors, and this weekend that’s exactly what I’m going to be showing you! We’ll be camping at one of the finest camping sites around, Camp CritterCreek! It’s an exclusive adults-only weekend here, so who knows what kind of amazing adventures we’ll be getting into this week! Keep watching and find out!”
Max shut off the phone and his attitude went back to his usual unpleasant self as he walked over to Alex. Alex recognized Max as the star of one of the most popular online travel sites, who went to all sorts of exclusive vacation spots in the world, bringing in lots of attention and tourism to those spots in the process. Evidently, the camp management had managed to get in touch with his agent, but Max seemed to be… a bit less pleasant in person than he was in his videos. However, Alex kept up his ever-present friendly smile as he greeted the newest camp guest.
“Hi there, buddy! You’re Max, right? You’ll be staying in cabin 1. Perfect for a big star like you, huh?” Alex said cheerfully, earning a look of complete disgust from Max.
“…Yeah, whatever man. Just show me around the camp this weekend and let me do my job. That’s the only reason I’m here, right? Later.” Max stormed off in annoyance in the direction of his cabin, checking his emails on his phone.
“…Oh, you’ll definitely get to see what we’ve got to offer here, kiddo,” Alex murmured to himself as he crossed the name off his clipboard, smiling to himself.
--------------------------------------------
Once Max got to his room in cabin 1, he unpacked all his clothes and the stuff he always brought along on location shoots, getting his humble room ready for recording videos as best he could. Max wasn’t used to shooting in such small, shabby rooms, but he did what he could, and by the time he was all done getting prepared he was starting to get tired. He hopped into the little camp bed that just barely fit him and pulled the blankets up over him, not looking forward to his weekend in the least.
However, that night at the stroke of 3 AM precisely, a flash of sparkling light surged across the camp, changing everything it touched, including the stuck-up young man sleeping in cabin 1…
The next morning, he heard an alarm playing over the PA system to wake up the camp, so he groggily sat up in bed, and rubbed his eyes. However, something seemed off about his hands, so he dashed into the cabin's bathroom in confusion...
