Happy birthday, Mark Twain! 🎊🎂🎉

♊ Mark Twain loves active camping trips. He loves hiking, or going down the river on a boat. He joined the club of people with simular interests and made friends outside the mansion.

♊ Mark is banned from shooting galleries on multiple carnivals (mostly from ones where scamming in carnaval games involved). He is too good of a sniper to fall victim of scam tricks.

♊ Mark likes karaoke. He is a fine singer (not brilliant, not bad), so no one would complain if he starts singing.

♊ Mark trained Huck and Tom to act as a pair of cheerleaders for him and you. They will encourage everything you two do. They even have small pom poms.

♊ Mark loves active dates. You two will play soccer, basketball, baseball... Somehow, it works. He also wants to have a very extraordinary wedding. He is fine with sharing his time with you and John Steinbeck.

Flufftober 15 - “This looks fun.” - “Not the word I would use, but okay.”

A/N: Day fifteen of this challenge.

----

"Remind we, why we are here?" You walked slightly behind Mark. Huck and Tom were sitting on his shoulders.

You and BSD Cast were on a camping trip in a mountain forest. The camp was seta few hours ago and everyone were free to do whatever they wanted. Mark asked you to follow him up to the mountain.

"We are going adventuring." Mark didn't look at you, there was a spring in his step.

Well, it wasn't good. But it was good, that the camp was set by the river, and you won't have troubles to find it.

Adventure was short lived. When you two got high enough, Mark pointed at something before him.

"There it is. Look!"

And you look. At two rafts in the river. There was safety ropes that didn't let them float down the river.

Mark was grinning.

"Let's go down the river on them. I spent quite some time making them."

"Why?" your voice was emotionless.

Mark shrugged.

"This looks fun."

"Not the word I would use, but okay." You whispered, so Mark didn't hear you. Meanwhile, he jumped on one of the rafts. It sank a bit. Tom and Huck floated above his shoulders.

"Mark, I don't think it's a good idea..." Started you.

The safety rope got loose, and the raft with Mark floated down the river.

You, Tom and Huck just started at the direction of Mark's raft.

Soon, you heard screaming.

"That's not how it supposed to be!"

You jumped on the second raft, grabbing the long pole to navigate it.

"Tom, fly forward! Warn others in the camp! Huck, with me, let's try to catch Mark."

"Got it!" Said a pair in the unison, following your orders.

----

You and Huck almost got to Mark. All of you were fine, but quite wet. You must reach the camp soon. You hopped, that Tom already got there.

Then you saw a large net that was now blocking the river, together with familiar tentacles.

Of course...

Tom was tangled into the net, and you were yanked from the rift by Lovecraft.

Well, it was something.

Later, when you and Mark were sitting by the fire, drying off, yiu noticed a sour expression on his face.

"Mark? Do you want to talk?"

Mark looked guilty.

"I... I am sorry. I wanted to do something fun with you. Instead I forced you to save me. I wanted a good adventure for you and me."

You gave him a small smile.

"Mark, to be fair, I found today's situation scary but it was a good adventure. Say... Next time, let's prepare better."

Mark looked at you with hope in his eyes.

"Next time?"

You nodded.

"Why not? A good adventure sounds good from time to time."

A bright smile returned to Mark's face.
