As the sun rises on day two of the visit to Tennessee so does Sterling James Keenan and Annie Social. They awake to the sweet aroma of breakfast in the dinning room. Before venturing to the dinning room how ever Annie and SJK take the time to work on their appearance by showering and getting clothed. After a few minutes they both exit their bed rooms and walk together to the dinning hall where they find a spread of food awaiting to be eaten. The one thing they notice though is the absence of James Storm who they first assumed was still in slumber in his room. SJK and Annie decided that James would wake soon and decided to go ahead and eat while the food was still warm.
Before they could sit down and grab eating utensils the sound of hoofs from a horse could be heard out side and be seen in the window opposite the table. Upon viewing the horse they also saw James Storm riding the horse by the window. SJK and Annie stood in shock for a few moments before the doors opened up and in walked James Storm in a pair of raged blue jeans, a old black t-shirt, black cowboy hats, and black cowboy boots, and a pair of black gloves with a smile on his face. James took off the gloves first and laid them down in a hamper in the corner with various other gloves then took off his hat and placed it on the chair as if one of the handles of it was a hat rack and sat at the table with SJK and Annie.
James Storm
Well it's about time that you two decided to wake up. I was beginning to think that you were going to sleep the entire day away. I have been up since the sun came up. I had to go out and feed the horses and I decided that I would go ahead and chop us some wood for the fire place for later. When I found that you still hadn't gotten up I decided that I would take one of my favorite horses for a ride since I haven't got to do that in awhile. It is such a freeing experience, you almost forget that when you haven't done it in so long. I do hope you enjoyed your sleep though, and I also hope you enjoy this breakfast, pretty much all of it is grown here.
Sterling James Keenan
Dude, you have been up for how long? I thought I heard since the sun has been up, if I heard right I just got one thing to say to you, you are fucking crazy. We thought you were still asleep upstairs. I don't see how you get up so early and are in such a good mood. If I were up at the crack of dawn I'd be like one of those old people with really bad attitudes that you are afraid to get around because they have a cane and they aren't afraid to hit you with it. But anyway, this food looks delicious, I don't care where it came from, I know where it is about to go. Then we can get started on all these things you had planned for us to do.
Annie Social
Frankly both of you are talking way to much for any one at this time of the morning. James, I say this in the nicest possible way I know how, but you smell like a pile of shit. Please don't tell me that you are going to sit here and eat with us smelling like that. The only thing that is keeping me from upchucking is the fact I have nothing on my stomach and the aroma of this breakfast is slightly out weighing your stench. But I'm with SJK over there, we should hurry up and eat so we can get started on all those things you have planned. I'm ready to find out what some of them are. You don't want to tell us over breakfast do you?
As Annie finishes talking to James, they all take a seat in separate chairs at the huge dinning table. Each takes their plates and fills it with all different kinds of food including, eggs, bacon, grits, pancakes, sausage, ham, ballougna, biscuits, gravy, oatmeal, and cereal. With their plates full the party begins to chow down forgetting all about the conversation when the taste over whelms any thing that they had on their mind. The meal seemed to go on forever no one wanting to stop eating. Finally SJK was the first to finish eating, watching James and Annie still stuffing the food down like there is no end. SJK sat back thinking that this is turning into a contest of who can eat more. In the end Annie stopped a few bites short of James Storm who was sporting a smile on his face.
James Storm
Well first thing is first, with what yall are wearing I don't think we are going to be going any where. Secondly you guys need to go change your clothes to some thing more comfortable and some thing you don't mind getting dirty and torn. And lastly you need to pack up because we won't be back here until tomorrow. You are also going to want to pack things to swim in. I hope you guys like food that comes straight from nature because that is going to be our lunch and dinner for the night and probably breakfast in the morning. So if you haven't guessed it yet, we are going camping. I took the liberty of having some back packs packed for you guys. They are already ready with every thing we'll need besides the clothes, so if you want to head right out the door and grab them, you guys can get your clothes and we can be on our way.
SJK and Annie go and grab the back packs with out any comments and head back up to their rooms on the second floor to begin packing. Around fifteen minutes later both came trudging back down the stairs with their back packs on and clothing that looked some what closer to James Storm's. James lead them out side where he had three horses waiting. Annie and SJK both gave him a look that basically said, you have to be kidding me. James helped Annie and SJK get on the horses then got on his horse and after a quick instruction they were off and on their way into the woods on a trail that was previously made.
Once they were on the trail the scenery changed drastically from what they were used to from normal day life, even from what they first saw when they arrived at James's house. The open fields turned into trees and bushes. You could hear the animals out in the forest and see many different animals passing by as the they walked along the path. It took around an hour on horse back before the got to the clearing that was near a stream off in the woods. James, Annie, and SJK tied off their horses and started to make camp. James went out to gather wood and stone for a fire while Annie and SJK were tasked with setting up the tents. Around mid afternoon the tents were done and wood and and stones were gathered for the fire that night.
After every thing was gathered James brought out some fishing rods and everyone walked toward the small river to do some fishing. They all sat in silence while fishing enjoying the afternoon weather where it wasn't hot but not cold with the sun shining and a slight breeze blowing to keep the weather nice. The day seemed to go by fast though as every one was enjoying themselves. Night soon feel and the fish that was caught during the day would soon become their dinner. James set up the stones in a large circle then gathered the wood inside the stones with some brush and made a fire. It didn't take long before the fish were done and every one was eating around the fire and keeping warm.

You know, I really do hate to say this, because I hate admitting that you ever do any thing right unless I advise you on it, but this has been fun. I don't remember the last time I was just able to relax and not have to worry about any thing. Hell I haven't even had a cigarette since I have been here. Maybe there is some thing to this way of life. And I have learned quite a few new things while being here like how to ride a horse, and build a fire, and putting together a tent. I was very skeptical about fishing for our food. I mean it's not like I haven't had fish before but I haven't had to catch it and cook it my self and if I couldn't catch any thing I wouldn't have anything. It's kind of exciting.
Sterling James Keenan
Yeah man, I agree with Annie. I wasn't so sure about this trip when you first invited me. When we saw the house I was even more shocked. Then you take us out for this and it's just absolutely amazing. My mind has been so clear, it feels so good not to have any worries about training or my next match. While I'm out here I can just have fun and be me. That's not some thing any of us get to do much these days with such hectic schedules. Maybe we should try to get out here more often when we get some time off. I could get used to this. And we still have one more day don't we? Do you have any thing else planned for our trip?
James Storm
Well I'm glad both of you are enjoying the trip. I thought you were going to be hating my guts by the end of today. Well you might a little but I guess every thing together has been a good experience. There is always some thing to learn out here, you can never really know enough. We didn't get a chance to go hunting, or really just explore out through the woods. We'll have to do that another day. And yeah, Sterling I have some thing else planned but you won't find that out until tomorrow. But it's getting late boys and girls so I suggest we get in our tents and get some sleep. I'm going to be waking yall up pretty early so that we can catch some breakfast and then we can head back to the house and get ready for what I have planned. I promise this, it'll be the best way to end the weekend.
Annie and Sterling both got up and headed toward their tents while James stood up and begin to kick dirt onto the fire causing it to dye down. It took a few minutes but James finally got the fire out and then headed back toward his tent. James lay in his tent for awhile with a smile on his face thinking over the day and how much fun that they had just being able to relax and enjoy nature. Soon James falls asleep like Annie and Sterling and the night comes to an end.
