Chapter 1: Packing

Shawn & Kari walked into the living room, where their 3 daughters were playing. Allie & Yuriko (who were twins) were playing dress-up, while Nanami played with Gatomon. "We should tell them." Kari whispered to Shawn.

"Girls, we have something to tell you." said Shawn. The girls all stopped what they were doing. "Did we do something bad?" asked Yuriko. "No." said Kari, laughing. "Is it something special?" asked Allie. "Yes." said Shawn. "What is it?" asked Nanami. "We're going camping!" said Shawn & Kari.

"Wow, cool!" cheered Allie & Yuriko. "What's camping?" asked Nanami. "Camping is where you go out in the wild." explained Allie. "Yeah, and you do fun stuff!" said Yuriko. "Sounds fun!" cheered Nanami. "We'll be going to Arkansas for the trip." said Shawn. "We like the sound of that." said Yuriko & Allie. "Can I come too?" asked Gatomon. "Sure you can!" said Kari. "All right! I get to go." said Gatomon. "I'm glad you're coming." said Nanami.

That night, they got packing, so they'd be ready to go the next day.

End of Chapter 1

Chapter 2: The Drive, and a Good Spot

The next morning, the family, all packed and ready to go, got into the car and drove off to their destination.
It was a long ride, and the girls were getting restless. They kept bothering their parents by complaining, "Are we there yet?". After some time, Shawn & Kari had some games for the girls to play with so they wouldn't get bored. "Finally." said Shawn. "Now we've got something to keep them busy." said Kari. After playing, the girls got tired and fell asleep. Allie and Yuriko slept next to each other, and Nanami slept with Gatomon on her lap. "They're so sweet." said Shawn. Kari giggled.
Finally, they got to their spot. "Girls, wake up. We're here." said Kari. The girls woke up. "About time!" exclaimed Nanami. "We're ready." said Allie. "This will be fun!" said Yuriko. "Wilderness, here we come!" said Gatomon.
After getting out of the car, they all looked for a good spot. Eventually, they found a nice spot by the lake. "This is beautiful!" said Kari. "It's the perfect spot!" said Shawn. So, eventually, the set up their camp. Kari noticed Gatomon and the girls missing. "Oh my goodness, where are they?!" she said, freaking out. "Don't worry, they're fine." said Shawn, pointing to the four of them, playing tag by nearby trees. Kari let out a sigh of relief.
This was going to be an exciting trip for them.

End of Chapter 2

Chapter 3: The Usual Stuff.. and something unusual

The rest of the day, Shawn, Kari, Allie, Yuriko, Nanami, and Gatomon had fun doing the stuff you usually do while camping.
Shawn went fishing, and Gatomon went with him. "Glad you took me, you know how I love fish!" said Gatomon. "I know I do." said Shawn. The two had fun, and they caught a lot of fish (much to Gatomon's pleasure).
Kari took the girls swimming in the lake. Allie & Yuriko had fun splashing in the water, but Nanami was a little nervous. "C'mon, Nanami!" said Allie. "Hey, the water's fine!" said Yuriko. "I don't know." said Nanami. "Here, Nanami, it won't hurt." said Kari, so she took her into the water. "See? Nothing bad." said Kari. "Hey, this is fun!" said Nanami. So it was fun.
Later, the 6 of them went on a nature walk and saw a lot of interesting plants and animals, some kind of scared Allie, Yuriko, and Nanami, while some they enjoyed.
That night, they were going to have toasted marshmallows. "Who wants marshmallows?" said Shawn. "Oh, I do!" everyone said. "OK, here you go!" said Shawn, smiling. Then suddenly, a strange gust of wind blew out the campfire and an odd moaning was heard. Allie, Yuriko, and Nanami were so scared, they hid behind Shawn and Kari.
"What was that?" asked Kari. "I don't know..." said Shawn.

End of Chapter 3

Chapter 4: Discovery

Shawn, Kari, and Gatomon were still trying to calm Allie, Yuriko, and Nanami down after that frightening experience.
"That was really weird." said Gatomon. "I don't know what all of that was about." said Kari. "Me either, but that was crazy." said Shawn. "Mommy, Daddy, we're still scared." said Nanami. "Now I'm going to have nightmares." said Yuriko. "I don't know if this trip was a good idea." said Allie.
"It's OK." said Shawn. "Now calm down, you 3." said Kari. "How about a walk around the lake and look at the stars?" suggested Gatomon. "Thanks, that should calm them down." said Kari. "Good idea." said Shawn.
So, the 6 of them walked around the lake, looking at everything, and they lied down in a nice little spot and watched the stars. "We feel better now." said Yuriko. "This is so relaxing." said Allie. "I don't feel so scared anymore." said Nanami. "Good for you..." said an odd voice. The girls got scared. "Oh, no!" said Kari & Gatomon. "Who's that?" said Shawn, as the wind got strong.
Suddenly, a girl in a white dress, with long dark hair and dark brown eyes stood before them. "Me..." she said.

End of Chapter 4

Chapter 5: The Ghost's Story

"Who are you?" said Kari, holding the girls close to her. "I am.. a ghost... named Rosetta." said the girl.
"Rosetta?" Shawn asked. "Yes, that's me." said Rosetta. "You're a real ghost?" asked Allie. "I'm getting really scared." said Nanami, trying to hide. "So am I." said Yuriko. "What happened to you?" asked Gatomon.
"I was a happy young woman, happy with my beloved Sergio." said Rosetta. "Sergio?" said Yuriko, confused. "Quiet." said Allie. "Quiet, both of you." said Kari. "Sergio and I were a happy young pair, deeply in love, caring for each other, and hoping the best for each other.." continued Rosetta. "Then what happened?" Shawn asked. "It was on a cold winter night. We were walking around here, and suddenly we got lost. We tried to keep ourselves warm, but we both froze to death." said Rosetta.
"Wow, that's very sad." said Gatomon. "Poor Rosetta." said Allie. "I want to go to heaven and be with him, but I can't." said Rosetta. "Why?" asked Kari. "A ritual dance must be performed." answered Rosetta. "We... have to dance?" said Shawn. "That's true." Rosetta said.
"Well, let's get to work then.." said Gatomon.

End of Chapter 5

Chapter 6: Ritual Dancing

"How does this dance go?" asked Kari. "It goes that you move to the left and then to the right. The you spin around three times and hop a couple of times, and it ends with clapping together." said Rosetta.
"We'd better get it right." said Shawn. So, they practiced. The first time they tried, Shawn & Kari tripped each other by accident. "How are we supposed to do this?" said Kari. "We'll do it right, I'm sure of it." said Shawn. Rosetta looked unhappy about it.
The second time they tried, Allie & Yuriko stepped on each other's feet and Gatomon accidentally punched Nanami. "Ow, that hurt!" yelled Allie. "Sorry." said Yuriko. "Gatomon, why did you do that?" said Nanami. "Sorry, got too into it." said Gatomon. Rosetta sighed.
"OK, we got it." said Kari. "We're gonna get it this time." said Shawn. So, the third time they tried, they moved to the left and to the right, spun around three times, hopped a couple of times, and clapped together.
Suddenly, there was a ray of light, and a man dressed in white, with black hair and gray eyes appeared. "Sergio?" asked Rosetta. "Rosetta, my love." said Sergio. "I'm so glad to see you again." said Rosetta. "Now we can go to Heaven together." said Sergio. He looked at Shawn, Kari, and the others and said, "Thank you for reuniting us." As they left for Heaven, Rosetta looked at them smiled, and said "Thank you." as they vanished into light.
"Such a sweet ending." said Kari. "I love a happy ending." said Shawn. They both looked and saw Gatomon and the girls sleeping.

End of Chapter 6

Chapter 7: Fun While It Lasted

Now that Rosetta could rest in peace, Shawn, Kari, Gatomon, Allie, Yuriko, and Nanami spent the next couple of days with fun.
Shawn and Gatomon kept catching fish as they usually did. Kari and Nanami spent time cooking and spending time together, while Allie and Yuriko did their things together. All 6 of them had their time together playing in the lake, going on nature walks, going on nature walks and taking pictures with their camera, looking at the stars, as well as singing songs and telling stories by the campfire.
Eventually, it was time to go back home. "Do we have to go?" Allie asked. "Yes we do. We can't stay here forever." said Shawn. "But we had so much fun!" said Yuriko. "We know you did." said Kari. "I'll miss this place." said Gatomon. "I hope we do this again." said Nanami. "We'll do it again next summer, hopefully." said Shawn. "Does that sound good?" Kari asked. "Yes!" Gatomon and the girls cheered. Shawn and Kari laughed.
Gatomon, Allie, Yuriko, and Nanami took one last look at the place through their window, as it went out of sight while Shawn & Kari drove them all the way back home.
