Vanessa and Raimundo are in Spook's room in their human forms talking when a knock resounds from the door. They glance at each other in worry.

"Who is it?" Vanessa calls out.

"It's Megan," she says. "Wally and I were planning to have a campfire. I was wondering if you wanted to come along."

"Campfire?" Rai calls out. "That sounds like fun."

"Phantom? I didn't know you were in there too," Megan comments. "I guess that's easier. Anyway, you're both invited if you want to come."

"Sure, we'll be there in a sec," Vanessa says.

"Yay! I'm gonna go get the others," Megan squeals, walking to the next room.

Vanessa grabs a nearby towel and shoves it in front of the crack under the door, so nobody will see the flash of them transforming. The twins transform into their ghost selves and walk out the room up to Megan.

"I haven't had a campfire in years," Spook comments.

"I've never had one before," Megan says. "I mean I wouldn't because martians are vulnerable to fire."

"Are you gonna be okay?" Phantom asks.

"It's okay as long as I don't sit too close," she reassures him.

"Then I'll make s'mores for you," Phantom smiles and she returns it.

They gather the rest of the team from wherever they are in the cave and head to the kitchen.

Wally speeds in carrying lots of things. "Gathered a couple of chairs, some firewood, scrounged the pantry for some graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows and now we'll cozy up together outside-" he cuts himself off seeing the rest of the team. "-just the two of us?"

"We're going to need a lot more stuff than that if we're gonna go camping!" Robin says for everyone.

"I hope you don't mind, I invited all the others to join in the fun with the s'mores," Megan says.

Wally looks down defeated as they all head outside the cave and set everything up.

"This was a great idea, don't you think Wally? Camping in the great outdoors!" Robin says sarcastically.

"I don't remember inviting you. Besides, I didn't say anything about camping. I said a campfire. Big difference between just a campfire and the whole camping thing, I don't like camping... outside..." Wally comments, turning to look at Megan. "Unless of course I'm camping with that special someone."

"Dude, kinda bordering on creepy," Robin and Phantom comment. The two look at each other in surprise before laughing.

"Well, I think all of us camping is a wonderful idea!" Megan exclaims, eating her twelfth s'more.

"She doesn't seem to think so," Wally says, smirking at Robin and Phantom.

"She's probably on a sugar overload," Robin scoffs.

"Thanks to Wally, I get to try s'mores for the first time!" Megan says.

"What can I say? I'm a sweetie! Ha! Get it? Cause s'mores are sweet?" Wally flirts.

"Yeah, still confused on how a ghost can eat human food," Robin comments.

"Well, we used to be human," Spook scoffs. "Besides, we still need energy to operate, whether that be human food or eat someone's life energy."

"Yeah, I'd rather you eat human food instead of life," Wally comments.

"So, this is what you do when you go camping? Sleep in these flimsy things called 'tents' and sit around the fire?" Superboy asks.
