Paintballing.
14 June 2011
Holly Gibbs was excited at the prospect of paintballing.
It was an end of year trip for Fourth Grade arranged by their new Principal, Celia Meyers to make up for the trauma of the events in October.
"This is awesome!" Holly's boyfriend Darren yelled.
"Quite Mr Blake," ordered the teacher in charge, Ms Cox.
"Okay Miss," Darren slunk back and turned to his friends Jared and Nathan.
"I love paintballing!" Matt Haycroft, Holly's best friend squealed. Matt was short for Matilda but only her grandparents called her that. Her mother Rosie had been stabbed to death in the school shooting in October and ever since she'd been counselled frequently.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs had been invited on the trip as well to teach them all sniper positions which they would undoubtably need.
He arrived early and sat down on a bench in the adjacent park, awaiting the coach.
"Excuse me," a woman approached him, dressed in unusual clothing that looked like it had come out of a 1900s silent movie. "I'm sorry but can you help me?"
"With what?" Gibbs asked.
"My car just stopped! Can you please fix it?" the woman asked.
"Sure," Gibbs smiled at the red headed woman.
"I'm May," smiled the woman, holding out her hand to shake Gibbs'.
"I'm Jethro," Gibbs replied. "Hello, May."

"God, I wonder if my dad's here yet," Holly asked, dismounting the bus.
"He's here alright,"observed Matt, pointing out Gibbs and May by the open car bumper.
"That should last but you really should get a repair man to check it out," Gibbs said.
"Dad! What are you doing? And who's the girl?" Holly asked.
"A new friend," replied Gibbs with a grin.
May smiled. Yes Leroy Jethro Gibbs, she thought, A friend.
Sorry I haven't updated recently. I'm getting even worse headaches and kind of weird shaking things plus I feel really dizzy. It's been like that since September so I apologise for delays in writing.
So the overall series is going to be shortened as well just to say.
