How Green Becomes Wood

"Final time this school year," Dark commented, "Before you go, though, since you are both talking about working more: Would you want to take a trip anywhere this summer? Daizi and I have been discussing if we should take another week somewhere, but do not know where to go, or if you both would like to travel again this year."
 
Both twins paused and glanced at each other before nodding.

"That would be amazing! I'd be happy going to the beach again," Alec said.

"That parasailing thing was pretty awesome," Xander agreed. "I'd be happy with that, but if you guys wanted to go somewhere new, that'd be cool, too."
 
"He was telling me about Dollywood," Dark said, running his tongue over his teeth, "I heard that and thought," he waived one hand, "Sequins and the like, but he assures me the coaster rides are quite good. And he said there is some twenty-five pound apple pie, which sounds horrible. It is all around the Smokey Mountains."
 
"Sequins?" Alec repeated happily.

"Twenty-five-pound apple pie?" Xander repeated, perking up.

"Roller coasters?" they both repeated in confusion.

"The mountains are beautiful," Xander said while Alec nodded.
 
"I am sure there is more than Dollywood, but that is what he largely spoke to me about. I know the National Park there is the most visited National Park in the country, and you are likely to see bears." Dark remarked, trying to recall anything he knew about the area.
 
Xander smiled wistfully. "We could maybe get a cabin in the middle of nowhere... chill out wandering around the woods... spy on the animals..."

Alec made a face. "That sounds really nice for a day, maybe two, but then it'd get boring."
 
"I think we probably would get a cabin, presuming it was close enough to everything else," Dark said, thinking about it, "Either way, I need to talk to your mother, for all I know she will not even be interested in going."
