Chapter One: School Camp All Grades 7-12!! How Gr-horrible!

Disclaimer: Don't own the movies.

AN: This is totally AU. Some of our technology is there too. Only some.

Alex and his class were assigned to go to a camp with their parents as chaperons. None of the kids volunteered their parents so Alex was chosen to bring his parents as chaperons. Oh, goody. One parent from each class room, his parent was picked. He trudged in the house and put the permission slip in his father's lap then trudged upstairs to do his homework. Rick looked at the slip reading it all.

"Oh, great!" He said sarcastically. "Evy and I get to chaperon a bunch of kids we don't know. How great. ALEX!"

Alex trudged down the stairs to his father.

Rick pointed to the slip, "You volunteered us to go?"

Alex shook his head, "No, the teacher said you had to go."

Rick pondered a bit then said, "Had to? Meaning that I have no choice?"

Alex nodded.

Rick replied, "But your mother has her work. She can't take time off. Her job is practically a 24/7 thing."

Alex said, "The teacher said at least one had to go because he was going too."

Rick thought a bit, then something awful struck his mind. "How long is this Alex?"

"Three weeks, why?"

Rick paled. Three Weeks?? NO!! I can't go so long without Evy that long anymore!!

"Dad?"

"Huh? Oh uh, tell them that they're gonna have to find another chaperon."

"No, Dad, you HAVE to go."

"UGH! Fine, I'll go. When do we leave? ."

"Next Monday."

"That only gives us two days to pack. Start figuring out what you want to take."

Alex nodded and trudged upstairs to his room.

(AN: Forget about the war, Rick is in his mid thirties so is Evy. Assuming they had Alex at the age of Twenty-two, Rick being a year older. And Alex is now fourteen.)

On Monday the class and everyone met at the school at 6:00 am in the morning!!

"Okay now, get on the bus in pairs, two to a seat. Start moving class! Pair up!" The teacher, Mr. White called out to the half asleep class. He turned to Rick. "Mr. O'Connell, I'll take the back of the bus you take the front, we get our own seats!"

Rick just nodded. Alex was apart of a group of five the other four paired up leaving him with no one to pair up with. A girl his age stepped up to him. She had brown hair with green eyes and wore a black shirt with black pants and black boots. She had feather in her hair and was dark in skin color. She had a knife with her, and wore a beaded belt and wore a black bandana with silver hieroglyphs on it. He read the Egyptian words that pronounced Artemis Pretty Weasel. On her shirt in silver letters wrote (in English) Uutte. (Pronounced ooh-ooh-tay)

"Hey, I'm Artemis Pretty Weasel. Want to be my partner?" She asked holding out her hand. He shook her hand.

"Sure, I'm Alex O'Connell. Um, I noticed your bandana, it's written in Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Are you Egyptian?"

"Yeah, a quarter though. My Mom was half Greek and half Egyptian. She immigrated to America where she met a Sioux named Leonard Pretty Weasel. Everyone called him Mugs. They died when I was young, about when I was four. An English man adopted me and brought me back here. He liked my last name so he didn't have it changed," she said as they got in line to load the bus. Alex nodded.

"I'm sorry about your parents, Artemis," Alex said sympathetically. "Can you speak any of your ancestors languages?"

"Call me Arty, please," she said. "And yeah I can speak Egyptian, Greek and Sioux."

They got on the bus sitting only a seat away from Rick. Rick couldn't help smiling at how Alex seemed to like this girl.

"You know I was in Egypt when I was like eight and a lot of weird things happened. I don't remember what exactly but I was traveling with my adoptive father through the desert when we saw a huge column of black smoke with someone's face on it. It was so weird. I wonder what it was. But then again I was also wondering why we were traveling through the desert. Jake said it was to find a gravesite found earlier. We should have just taken the plane or something," Artemis said as they left on the bus. Alex had to keep from bursting out laughing. And also to resist from telling her that his family was there fighting a Scorpion King and hoping they wouldn't get sucked into a pyramid. "You know I also make reed flutes? Yeah. I like to play flutes and I know many songs. I can also draw very good too. And I love wolves." She and Alex talked on the way to camp, she did most of the talking though.

They arrived at camp in two hours, after they were all out and readied in their tents Mr. White made an announcement.

"These three weeks at camp is for education and exercise. Living in the city people tend to get out less often and to slowly rot away. This is for your own good. There were already camp counselors here but one was missing so we called upon Rick O'Connell to help. He has, we thank you Mr. O'Connell. Now that we are settled in we will have the rest of the day off. Tomorrow the real work will begin! So until then please go introduce your selves to our twelve camp counselors, which includes Mr. O'Connell. Good day." He steeped down from a rock he was on as the kids introduced themselves to the counselors.

-------Somewhere in the forest near the camp after they fell asleep-------

"Ssssssso, now we will have to take the kidsss sssso nothing isssssss in our way. That shouldn't be to hard, Sssssssoketh. Don't fail me. The kidssssss are the ones that are friend of Alexxxxxx O'Connell. They are pulled together by a desssssstiny to protect thissss Earth. They mussssssst be annihilated from thissss Earth ssssssso I can rule thissssssss world and the othersssssss. Isssssss that clear?" said a snake like voice from a dark vortex to a tall shadowy figure.

The figure bowed to the vortex, "it is clear m'Lord. They will be put away with."

The vortex then vanished.

AN: Okay, this is a total AU fic huh? Who'd go camping while a war is on near their home? Well the war doesn't happen. I need people to be thew chosen ones. The class is really like all the grades from 7-12. So age goes in around there. If you want to be in it just review and answer these simple questions:

Name:

Gender:

Age:

Grade:

Other: (like what you wear what you do and your hobbies. And what your secret hidden power is. Alex is courage and knowledge, he is represented by wind. Artemis is from the moon, her powers are kind of towards water and fire, she is courage and dumb luck. You can have more than one and two or more can have the same elemental powers here. Also anything else you want to add.)

BTW: Fashion and clothes now days are in there too. And so we also have portable cd players and tape players too. But the class wasn't allowed to bring any but some people didn't listen (ie Artemis)

Please review!
