All of us were awaiting the new camp that was coming to town for summer. Well,
our wait was finally over. A large group of kids had crowded around the YMCA to
see if they made it or not. We had to do this challenge and then send in our results to see if we
made it. They were allowing sixteen kids to come to the camp to be the very first ones to go to
it. They people who were able to make it were Mighty, Sonic, Manic, Cream, Tails Charmy,
Mina, Shadow, Rouge, Vector, Knuckles, Tikal, Silver, Blaze, Amy and myself.
As soon as Sonic saw his name he let out a big "Woo Hoo" and pumped his fist in the air.
Then when a lot of people started to realize that they were on the list there was a
lot of squeals, shouts and some people even standing gaping with their mouths
wide open, like me. I was shocked, I couldn't believe I made it. "We made it dude" Mighty said
as he gave me a high- five. I looked around and saw that the other kids who didn't
make it sobbed and put their head in their hands as they sulked away. Big was crying the
loudest as he used froggy to wipe his nose.
What a pity. I was so excited to go I couldn't wait but if I knew that this
camp was going to be a real life nightmare I would have settled for the beach any day.
I woke up at 6:30 and started to get packed and dressed. At 7:45 I was done
cramming a lot of cloths and other stuff into my suitcase. I ran downstairs to
get something to eat. Cereal did the job quite well. I then grabbed my suitcase from upstairs,
grabbed my house key and headed out the door.
I walked to the bus stop and saw a long line of anxious and extremely excited
kids. I looked around and saw Mighty in the back of the line so I shooed my self
to where he was. "I was told that this camp is suppose to be crazy awesome" Mina
exclaimed happily. Mighty nodded his head in agreement. "What's up guys" I said
cheerfully.
Mina just shook her head in disappointment. "I'm a girl you jerk!" she grumbled
still shaking her head. I shrugged and turned to Mighty. "How about you" I asked
excitedly. He was about to answer when the bus came around and started honking.
That earned a couple of squeals from kids. It took only a second for the
mechanical doors to open but for the kids to get on was a different story.
Everyone was pushing and shoving to get on the bus. It was a total nightmare. I
was one of the lucky ones along with Mighty since we were at the back of the
line but the people in the middle and front like Shadow, Sonic, Knuckles, Tikal,
Amy, Charmy and Vector were the ones who had a major problem. There were screams
and shouts and a couple curses from Shadow since he was in the middle, the most
brutal part. Mighty of course had to cover my ears for that but it was easy to
tell what he was saying. After about 30 minutes, everyone was on the bus. I was
standing next to my red shelled companion while we walked down the aisle of the
bus. Mighty turned and said something to me but I didn't hear it.
I was to focused on something else. When I walked past the bus driver I heard him mumble
"Great, another set of victims". What did he mean by that? I finally came out of
my trance when bus started up which made everyone slam into each other.
Talk about an impact, I was slammed forward into the person in front of me. Amy
turned around to face me as her Piko- Piko hammer appeared out of nowhere.
"Watch it!" She growled. My eyes widened. "S-sorry Amy" I stammered. She rolled
her eyes. Blaze was thrown forward into Silver who was knocked into Vector who
didn't even move. "Find a damn seat" The bus driver grumbled. Everyone glanced
at the bus driver then turned their attention back to what they were doing.
"Soniku, sit next to me!" Amy called. Sonic looked back at her then quickly
pulled Tails into a seat with him. I chuckled. Amy turned around with fire in
her eyes. "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?" She yelled. I gulped. "I, uh, w-was
just, um, abou-" was all I could say before Amy smacked me with her hammer. My
eyes were rolling in my head as I stumbled backwards and fell on my butt. Mighty
helped me up as his mouth hung open. "Are you okay Ray?" I heard Mighty question
me. I stared at him for a long while as my right eye began to twitch. "Oh, yeah
I'm peachy!" I said sarcastically. Mighty shook his head at me smirking at me.
"Real funny" He said and then he turned his attention back to finding us a seat.
We finally got one in the back of the bus. I got window seat. Blaze and Silver
were in the seats next to us. Mina and Amy were in front of us. I glared at her
as I rubbed my head. Amy turned around and stuck her tongue out at me. I flicked
her off. She then took out her Piko hammer again. I screamed and slumped down in
my seat. Mina turned around and started to talk to Mighty. Mighty looked he was
about to fall asleep. I looked over and saw Blaze and Silver starting up a
pretty serious conversation. I turned to the window and saw that we were heading
out of the city and into the country side. I could tell it was going to be a
long bus ride.
Sonic soon started singing a bunch of songs like PeanutButter Jelly Time, ABC's,
Wheels On The Bus, 100 bottles of beer on the wall (A/N After 70 I'm pretty much
brain dead!) and Down By The Bay. I was banging my head against the bus window
trying to drown out everyone but it didn't work. Nothing would. I even tried
covering my ears but that didn't work either. Why you ask? Because this was the
fifteenth time everyone was singing the wheels on the bus.
For the first two times it was fun yeah, but fifteen times in a row, it got
really annoying. Even Mighty sang along. I swear I just wanted to disappear so I
wouldn't have to hear "The mamma's on the bus go hush hush hush" anymore. I
crumpled in my seat and I was about to give up when I had an idea. I could just
ask the bus driver to make them shut up. A bus driver would do that, right? I
got out of my seat and made my way to the divider. The drivers seat was hidden
behind the divider. I was almost to the front when the bus swerved to the right,
causing me to fly into the seat beside me. I landed on top of Shadow and in
Tikal's lap since they were sitting together. My whole face turned red. I shot
up and pulled myself out of the seat. "Sorry" I muttered as I quickly walked
over towards the bus driver. I decided that I was also going to ask how old was
the guy because if he was 80 or something, then he shouldn't even have a permit
anymore. I wasn't trying to be rude, it was just on my mind because of what just
happened. I knocked first but there was no answer so I tried again, still no
answer.
I was getting impatient so I just pulled open the door. I walked through and
stopped dead in my tracks. The bus driver was in his seat but he wasn't driving
the bus. His arms were hanging limply at his sides while his face was positioned
at the ceiling. I stared at his tiny black eyes which stared at the ceiling...
lifelessly. I was so stunned I couldn't even speak I slowly reached out and
touched his arm and then quickly retreated when I did. He felt as cold as ice.
He was dead. A dead bus driver is driving our bus. His foot still remained on
the gas pedal. I also saw a little foam start to pour out of his mouth. My eye
twitched as I turned pale.
I felt nauseous and started to gag and choke. I slowly backed away from the
corpse in front of me as my body jerked forward. I quickly ran out and shut the
divider. My body jerked once again and almost immediately I threw up. Everyone
stopped to stare at me. "Ray are you Ok?" was all I heard from Mighty before I
blacked out and fell to the floor with a "thud".I woke up to everyone crowded
around me. "What happened to me" I asked quietly rubbing my head. "That's what
we want to know" Tikal remarked fearfully. It took me but only a second to
remember what had just happened which made me start to feel sick. "The bus
driver is dead!" I murmured slowly. Everyone let out a surprised gasp. "Your
lying" Tails said as he stared at me while crossing his arms. I shook my head.
"I'm not, go look for yourself!" I insisted as I pulled my knees into my chest
and closed my eyes remembering the horrible image, trying to erase it from my
mind. Unfortunately it wouldn't work. Shadow and Sonic slowly inched towards the
divider
Sonic slowly reached his hand out but before either one of them could open it,
there was a huge bump that made everyone fly in the air and bang they're head
against the roof of the bus, including me. As we fell to the floor, everyone
started screaming and scrambling into they're seats. It wasn't easy because the
bus was swaying violently but we all did. I quickly buckled up then grabbed onto
my seat. Charmy stuck his head out the window then pulled it back in. "Were
about to fall of a cliff!" he shrieked. All of us started to scream. As I stared
out my window, I saw us coming closer to the end of the cliff. Closer. Closer.
Then the bus went over the edge.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"I wailed as the bus started to drop faster and
faster. Luckily SOME of us had our seat belts on. I held onto my seat wishing
for this horrific ride to end but at least I was strapped in. Some people
weren't that lucky. Mighty was one if those people. Mighty flew up to the roof
of the bus."Oh crap" He mumbled as a couple of other kids started to join him.
Along with Mighty, Mina, Manic, Sonic, Charmy, Knuckles, Amy, Cream and Rouge.
Manic tried to pick his head up but as soon as he did his head slammed back down
on to the roof. The force of gravity was to strong. "Ouch!" he yelled. "Retard"
I mumbled as I turned and saw Blaze digging her claws into her seat while she
struggled to stay in it. The only other people who had their seat belts on were
Tails and Tikal. Vector and Shadow were clinging to their seats. "When would
this drop end and would we make it?" I thought to myself as I closed my eyes.
Ooh, Cliff hanger! Don't worry I'll update soon. Please review!
