It was a long trek from the camp grounds to an isolated cabin atop a small hill. All the Camp Walden girls had to put a hold on their activities and form three neat columns and marched behind the troublemaking twins. The long procession was lead by Marvas Sr. and Marvas Jr. who have now changed into fresh uniforms.

Marvas held onto her bull horn and a grim expression was set on her features as they neared the lonely log cabin. Marching over a bridge and into the thick forest, everyone finally arrived after a very long walk. Marvas Jr. turned around and blew on her whistle, everybody stopped and Marvas Sr. raised the bullhorn.

"Ok girls, the rest of you - back to camp activities," she announced and received cheers from the other campers as they hurriedly went back through the forest to resume whatever it was they were doing. However, Marvas Sr. and Jr. were looking at Avia and Emmi from behind their identical aviator shades.

"You two," Marvas Sr. said in an authoritative voice and shaking a finger at them, "The isolation cabin." Marvas Jr. playfully made loops in the air while she pointed at the lonely log cabin on top of a hill. There were wooden steps buried on the ground that served as steps and a small sign that said ISOLATION CABIN. Emmi and Avia glared at each other, Emmi stubbornly shoving her Dirty Pigs hat on over her pigtails, before carrying their things into the cabin.

Night finally fell on the cabin and the twins lay on separate cots at opposite corners of the small room. The cabin had a wide open space and no division; the only one being for the bathroom. Emmi held on to her stuffed rabbit as she tried to get some sleep. Avia, however, was writing in her diary before turning in for the night.

Emmi tossed and turned but the light was keeping her awake and she sat up angrily and flicked the switch. Sudden darkness filled the room and this irritated Avia who needed the light so she could write; she turned the light switch on in retaliation. Emmi sat up, she was one hundred percent angry, sleep was just about to come to her and so she flicked on the switch again. Thus began the flicking argument they had that lasted throughout the night.

Being stuck in the isolation for the remainder of their stay in Camp Walden wasn't fun for the twins. They had six weeks left and they had to spend every single day of it with each other. They had to eat on one table that was separated from the rest and they had to do activities together too. Avia had a half mind to call her uncle but somehow didn't want him to know, most especially her mother that she got into trouble.

The days were slowly passing and the twins decided that to get around peacefully with each other, they had to ignore each other. One day, a heavy downpour occurred and the two were stuck in their cabin for the day. Emmi decided to spend the day playing solitaire on her cot while Avia was putting up pictures she cut from magazines. The two were peacefully ignoring each other when a sudden gust of wind blew in and sent Avia's photos flying to the floor. She gasped and rushed over to the offending window trying to pull it shut. Emmi looked up and rushed towards her and helped.

"Oh gosh, it's stuck," she muttered but they finally got the window to close.

"Thanks." Avia muttered giving her a genuine smile, a first in days.

"You're welcome." Emmi replied with a genuine smile of her own.

Avia kneeled and picked up her fallen pictures while Emmi knelt with her and started helping her gather them. "Any of your pictures ruined?" Emmi said trying to start a conversation.

"Only the beautiful Leo DiCaprio." Avia sighed holding up a torn picture of Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Who?"
