Dale: Ah, the great outdoors!

James: How did my guitar get here? I didn’t bring it.

Dale: Ooh, mysterious. Maybe Bigfoot did it. Now I guess we’ll all have to listen to your wailin’. Bummer.

James: (grumbles) I hate you....

Amber: Does that mean I get to hear you play again? Thanks, Bigfoot!

There is a graphic that says “True Friend Award” next to a smirking Dale.

Jack: We should be back in about an hour and a half. Try to stay out of trouble. Cora, we’ll hit up that waterfall path when I get back!

James: Stay out of trouble? What could go wrong?

Dale: You are literally swingin’ an axe around while you ask her that. Twenty bucks says you end up bloody today.

Cora: Nobody’s dumb enough to take that bet.

Dale: [whispers] We’re gonna pretend to look for firewood but really we’re gonna sit on our asses and talk about video games. [yells] Don’t chop your arm off!

Cora: Couldn’t we just talk about video games here?

Dale: [lowers voice] Sure, but I’m tryin’ to give them some alone time together. Don’t tell me you’re Team Jonah.

Cora: Um... I’m... Team Whatever-Amber-Being-Happy, I guess.

Dale: Fair enough. Look, it’s nothing against Jonah. He seems alright. But I swore a blood oath in first grade to be James’ wingman for life.

Cora: You did not.

Dale: Eh, mighta been second grade. He was too busy eatin’ his boogers in first grade to worry ‘bout girls.

Amber: I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that I don’t know how to drive a car and if you cut off your leg, I have no way to take you to the hospital.

James: Aw, you’re smart. I’m sure you’d figure it out. C’mon, let’s go get some firewood.

there are a lot of people talking in this scene, but the transcript is below if it’s confusing:

James: (singing) When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we’ll see... No I won’t be afraid, no I won’t be afraid... just as long as you stand, stand by me....

Jack: Alright, I’m going to bed. I’ll see you guys in the morning. Marcus, do you still want to come into town with me in the morning? I can’t believe we forgot foil.

Marcus: Yeah, I can’t find my deodorant. That’s not gonna be good for any of us.

Cora: I think I’ll go to bed too. I want to get an early start if we’re gonna hike up to the waterfalls.

Dale: [suspiciously loud yawn] Ugh, me too. I’m still on Twinbrook time.

James: It’s an hour earlier in Twinbrook, you idjit.

Dale: You don’t know me. Also, I’m officially cuttin’ you off. No more beer tonight.

James: [sighs] Yessir.

James: I guess it’s just us. What about you, Sunshine? You turnin’ in?

Amber: Not yet. [giggles] Somebody has to make sure you don’t wander into the woods to serenade the bears.

James: Bears? Nah. I could sing to a skunk, though.

Amber: Please don’t. Although they are awfully cute.

James: The cutest.

OMG IT'S HOMECOMING!!!1!!

James: Sunshine! You look... that's a really pretty dress.

Amber: *blush* Thanks! I got it over fall break. You look nice too!

Huck: (whispering) Holy shit, this is awkward. Twenty bucks says she goes home with him tonight.

Amber: Did you guys just get here? We were getting ready to get our pictures taken. You should come with us!

James: I, uh... we're not--

Photographer: It's just a picture, kid. You gonna pose, or not?

Sims Yearbook Challenge by @bauhauzzz!

I was tagged by the talented and wonderful @budgie2budgie and @aniraklova! Thank you!

Amber and Lucius both didn't go to high school, but since they are two of the main characters I just included a picture of them as 17-year olds.

None of these characters went to school together but school photo backgrounds tend to be fairly generic so they all look the same.

(The Twinbrook Gators is James' football team)

🎵 I can't stop and look the other way 'Cause I know what could be, babe 🎵

James: C'mon, let's go where it's not quite so crowded!

Amber: Are you sure we should leave the group?

James: I have a feeling they'll be okay.

James: There's something I need to do...

Jack: Yeah, just let me grab my keys and we'll--

Jack: Amber?! It's four o'clock, why are you already in your pajamas? Are you okay? Did somebody hurt you? I'll fucking throat punch them!

Cora: Yeah, or, y'know, maybe she just has a cold or something. But let's skip straight ahead to assault! Why not?

Amber: I'm okay.... just having a bad day.

Jack: Aw, pobrecita, what happened? Is it one of your boys? I can punch them for you. Possibly at the same time, if Cora holds one down for me.

Amber: Both. I broke things off with Jonah and now I'm worried that I overreacted but at the time it felt like the right thing to do.

Cora: And James?

Amber: I think he's mad at me. We started to get into an argument and he... he just left.

Jack: Why would James be mad at you?

Cora: The real question is, which one are you more upset about?

Amber: ... I don't know. I'm angry about Jonah, and sad about James.

Jack: I'm sorry, mami. Boys are stupid. We're here for you if you need us, but in my experience there's only one thing that can save you.

Amber: [sniffle] What?

Jack: Britney Spears.
