Aisha was peacefully strumming the strings of their acoustic guitar. That was, until the cabin door was opened. 

"Greetings bunk mate-" an Indian boy greeted before he cut himself off. "Am I in the right cabin?" 

"Yes, welcome to Grizzly Cabin" Aisha welcomed standing up about to walk over to shake his hand but immediately jumped back a few steps. "That dinosaur ate your pet" 

"That 'dinosaur' is my pet" the boy defended unleashing the huge lizard. 

"That explains the cage. I just thought we had a really creepy kid" The lizard goes into the cage and Ravi walks forward. 

"Ravi Gupta Balasubramanium Ross, your new CIT eagerly reporting for duty miss" Ravi says extending his hand. 

Aisha shakes his hand, "Nice to meet you I'm Aisha Moon. Instead of Miss, I prefer Mix as I am nonbinary. Welcome to Camp Kikiwaka. 

Ravi smiled and nodded his head, "So, what are the cabin rules?" 

"I'm not really big on rules, just don't light the cabin on fire and don't touch my stuff. Also, wear shower shoes so you don't get foot fungus"  

"Hey dudes, I'm Jorge!" a young boy introduced coming into the cabin. His eyes look around and land on Aisha, "You aren't a dude" 

"I am outside the gender scam that was created in the 60s to sell more bathrooms" Aisha replies. "I'm Aisha, welcome to Grizzly Cabin." 

"Do you mind if I take this bunk?" Jorge asks without waiting for a reply as he removes Ravi's bag and throws it on the floor. Aisha just watches curiously at the curly haired boy. 

"A-actually that is my-" Ravi attempts to intervene. 

"Dude, trust me. You want me to sleep downwind. Especially on burrito night. I once had a 23 minute fart" 

"That seems medically impossible" 

"But useful if we got hot air ballooning" Aisha says pointing towards Jorge. 

"That's why the aliens abducted me, I'm special" 

"Well parts of you clearly are. So, let me guess, the aliens probed you?" 

"Of course not. They just invited me for brunch. You're weird." 

The rest of the afternoon was spent inside of Grizzly Cabin getting to know each other. As time flied, the moon started to slowly soar as the sun set and the moon shined high.

The campers were all sitting around the camp fire, some had marshmallows in there hands waiting to become smores. Aisha was seated with his guitar in his hands, resting on their leg as they played a few songs. After one final song, the campers clapped and Aisha set his guitar behind him with a smile. 

"That was amazing Aisha" Hazel said smiling pridefully. Hazel and Aisha used to be a thing but Aisha broke up with her when they started to question their gender identity. They tried to reconnect afterwards but their bond just wasn't the same so now they're just close friends. 

"Thanks Hazel" Aisha said. He looks up and notices a blonde teen with Lou. "Woah" Aisha stands up and walks over towards the mysterious blonde as Hazel watches with a slight glare, protective of her friend. 

"Hey, I'm Aisha" 

"I'm Emma" she says shaking their hand. 

"I'm nauseous" Hazel says from behind the two. 

Lou walks up to Aisha and Emma, "Little Woodchuck wisdom, don't go to the achery range with her" Lou says pointing at Hazel who smiles. A whistle is blown and the campers take their seats. 

"Campers, welcome to Camp Kikiwaka!" Gladys says standing on a tree stump. "Except for you Timmy, your parents checked bounced. You can sleep by the front gate, hopefully they pick you up in the morning" 

Timmy is then picked up and carried away. Gladys claps her hands and a bear skin robe is placed on her head. 

"Ki-ki-wa-ka!" Gladys yells. The campers except for the Ross's, Aisha and a girl looking at flashcards stand up and repeat after Gladys. 

"Okay, this is a cult. Taxi!" Ravi stands up yelling. The campers sit down as Gladys begins to speak again. 

"We bring homage to Kikiwaka, the giant ravenous beast who roams these woods! Kikiwaka! Hear me and leave these campers in peace" 

"Did she just say in pieces?" Emma asks Aisha who shakes her head no. 

"With the blessing of Kikiwaka, our summer revels commence!" Gladys then drops the robe on the ground and steps off the stump. "Remember to pick up your trash," she says and walks away. 

Hazel then walks up to Emma and taps her shoulder, "Listen up, cheekbones. Aisha is mine" 

"No I'm not" Aisha says but doesn't say anything else. 

"So you should go back to New York before one of those long legs end up in a bear trap. See you at the Friendship Circle"

"She's not really good with new people" Aisha says defending their friend.

"Or old people. Or any people" Lou says. 

After Aisha makes sures the fire is put out and all the campers are in their cabins, they go back to their cabin. They walk straight into the bathroom quietly as Jorge and Ravi are asleep. They sigh as they look at themselves in the mirror before covering it up with an old sheet that is pinned to the wall with thumb tacks. They turn on the water to the warmest setting as they don't have to worry about using all the hot water. 

They slowly take off their red collared shirt and look down at their full tank binder before looking up at the ceiling as they take it off. The gender dysphoria they get when they see their chest is severe.  

Aisha finishes taking off their clothes and hops into the scalding hot shower that turns their dark skin red. After finishing their shower and getting dressed in their night clothes, they crawl into bed and go to sleep, waiting to experience the best summer ever. 


Aisha's pronouns are they/them and he/him even though they goes by a feminine name. As Aisha is nonbinary I don't believe Emma would classify as straight so for now she is just unlabeled. Hazel will not be obsessed with Aisha as she was with Xander in the show. The reason for her threatening Emma is because she is protective of Aisha as they are her bestfriend.
