"Don't jinx it. There could still be others backpacking out like us." Richard said. "Please, there were no cars parked at the end of the road." Jackie smiled.

"Plus, its winter. Besides us, who would go camping in winter." Jackie said.

"I don't know. Those who like the cold." Richard shrugged as they worked on getting the tent set up. "Kind of looking forward to filling out with the full moon. All that fat should warm us up easily." He said.

"I can sing a few bars of that." Jackie said.

Richard chuckled. "Well don't let me stop you." He said, securing one of the stakes before moving onto to the next tent stake.

"Great. Just need a fire going and we can work on warming up a meal." Jackie said as she looked around for any twigs nearby.

Getting the sticks set in a pile Jackie got the matches as Richard go some dry leaves and pine needles. Before long the two were nursing a fire and getting some food from their packs.

"Let's see...We could have a couple hotdogs...I could pull out the fold up grill and we could cook some small steaks or baked potatoes...Could try making some small cheeseburgers." Richard said as Jackie's stomach grumbled. "I know it won't be the usual feast we have in the run up to a full moon, but we need to make this last."

"I know. We'll just have to make do." Jackie said as they cooked some hotdogs.

As the hotdogs cooked Jackie tried to ignore her grumbling stomach. Back when hers and Richard's fates were first tied to the full moon, neither had really noticed how much more they ate as the full moon approached. It was like their smoocher selves were trying to break free, and the two had so easily just eaten more without thinking about it. It wasn't until they had a dinner with Minda and Bob that the two had learned about it. Granted Minda had been shocked by how much of a pig Jackie and Richard had made of themselves. It had been embarrassing but felt so good. The dinner with Shawn and Jess the previous month had gone about the same, though the blonde and red head were more understanding and had pigged out a bit themselves. It helped they had prepared a meal for four people that were double or triple their size.

"Well it wasn't much but that pretty good." Jackie said after they ate.

"Yeah..." Richard said. "Something on your mind Richard?" Jackie asked. "It's just...Do you ever regret meeting me? Having your whole life turned upside down by this curse?" He asked.
