Hello! I got this idea while watching Bunked.. Then I had an Adam's family marathon and was like "I gotta have a go at writing this.." So. Here you go! Enjoy!
Also! Thank you to Fanfics10 for the beta! You're a life saver!
They always say that camp is one of the best experiences you can have. It allows you to explore new things, opens you up to new opportunities and make new friends. But not for the very antisocial, rich and moody, Regina Mills. And no matter how many times she pleaded, begged and cried, her parents still packed her bags and shoved her in the car anyway. And now, as she leaves her white, Pretense Manchanie and drives down the dirty country paths she can't help but feel sorry for herself.
"Darling, this is an educational experience for you. And I'm sure there will be others from your school there to socialize with." Her mother said to her just that morning... a mere three hours ago. "Maybe you will come back with something for me to be proud of." It was a low blow and her mother knew that.
Regina's pleas of "Mother! I can do more here than there. Don't send me" and "Daddy! Tell mother she's being unreasonable!" Didn't work. So now she's here, pulling up to a camp just outside of a place called Storybrooke.
"Camp Storybrooke!" Her mother piped up. "How wonderful and remember, dear. Your sister will be here if you need it." Cora, Regina's mother, turned around in her passenger seat at the front. "I'll be waiting here for your father to get back. Have a good time, dear. I'll see you in a few weeks."
With an inaudible grunt, Regina climbed out of the car but within seconds, her new riding boots were covered in the wet mouth. "Great," she mumbled.
Her father, Henry, later got out of the car and grabbed her suitcase including her bag. "To the office then, Regina"
"Yes, daddy." Regina said, looking around before following her father over to a hut with the words 'Reception' written on it. "Clever..."
As soon as she walked through the door a recognizable voice welcomed her. "Welcome to Camp Storybrooke. My names Zelena, I'm one of the instructors here." The redhead said without even looking up from her files.
"You don't say. And here's me thinking you were the maid..." Regina smirked.
"Oh... hey, sis. I thought you would have run away by now."
"Well, it wasn't for lack of trying," Henry said.
"Hey, Hen," Zelena greeted gaining Regina to smirk, knowing her father hated it when her sister called him that. She also knew that Zelena was very well aware of what she was doing. "I'll take over from here. You go on home. Mother does not like waiting." Zelena pointed out, stifling the mischevious grin on the verge of spreading out seeing Henry's face. They briskly said their goodbyes before Henry ran off - almost ran off - to the car.
"So. I'm going to take you to your cabin. A couple of your roomies should already be there." Zelena said before grabbing the suitcase and walking off. Regina picked up her bag and followed her half-sister.
Once at a hut Zelena turned to her. "This is it. Have fun"
"Zelena, what are w- wait! Zelena!" Regina said as her sister disappeared back to reception. Walking in two blonde girls turn to look at Regina.
"Hi!" They said in a creepy unison.
"I'm Tink, and this is Kathryn." Tink, says.
"Regina." Regina politely said, resisting the urge to make fun of Tink's name.
"Welcome to camp Storybrooke," Kathryn chimed in.
"First year?" Tink asks.
"Yep."
"It's our second."
Regina sighs. Hating the ideal chit chat that was pointless and boring, it wasn't like anyone would remember it later. Hating the communal living space. Hating how happy they both seem.
"There are two beds left. One In the corner and one by the door" a voice from behind her said. Regina turned to her. "Ruby," the tall brunette stated.
"Right."
"That's my bed." She points to the one in the right corner. "That's Mulan's bed." She then points to the one next to hers. "Belle will take whichever you're not taking." She then smiles and heads to the door. "Oh, by the way, they want us in the hall."
Regina threw her bag down on the bed in the corner on the right side before following the two chatting blondes out. Once in the hall, she sat by Ruby, Kathryn, Tink and who they introduce as Belle.
"Welcome, To camp Storybrooke." A man says as he stands on a stage. "I'm Mr Gold, I own this camp. So I have only one thing to say. You break it. You buy it. Now, Doctor Hopper." A ginger and overly hyper man stands on the stage.
"Hello, Campers! I'm Doctor Archie Hopper but Archie will do just fine. Now, before the fun begins a few ground rules. There are eight camper huts. Boys are not allowed in the girl's huts and girls are not allowed in the boy's huts. Okay..." From that point, Regina couldn't bear to listen anymore to this annoying man who was rambling on and on. All of a sudden, her phone vibrated giving her a little relief.
Missing you already. Hope you're having a good time - Anastasia.
Missing you too, Sharing a room with five other girls. And I think this counciler needs to pee - Regina.
Sharing a room with five others? How are you supposed to breathe? And I thought two was bad - Anastasia.
I know! Maybe I'll be lucky and get food poisoning - Regina.
One can only hope - Anastasia.
"Pssst.," Ruby whispered. "You are getting funny looks from mean and green over there..." Regina looked up to find her sister staring daggers at her.
GTG. Wicked witch alert - Regina.
"Time for the fun. Get into two circles, one into a big circle with a smaller one inside of it. The big circle will be known as the outer while the smaller will be the inner. Outer facing inner and inner facing the people on the outside. In pairs." The entire hall of 46 campers did just as told with Regina ending up facing Tink. Kathryn, Belle and Ruby facing some girl. "Now campers, you have sixty seconds for you and your partner to tell them: your name, age. And.." He paused. Probably for suspense. "Something interesting about you! GO!"
"Hi there, I'm Katarina Bell. But everyone calls me Tink. Like, Tinkerbell. I'm Sixteen, Seventeen in a week. And I am a love expert!" Tink said with little to no breath.
It was like a broken recorded from there on work.
"Ruby Lucas. Seventeen. track runner."
Possible friend.
"Sidney Glass. Seventeen. And, single..."
Creepy.
"Emma Swan. Sixteen. I'm going to be a bail bondsperson or a sheriff."
Should Avoid.
They all sounded the same and she replied all the same.
"Regina Mills. Seventeen. I have an interest in horses and love riding."
But one, in particular, made her stop. With his beautiful British accent.
"Hello there, milady. Robin Locksley. Seventeen years of age. I am an expert in archery. I also do horse riding and adventure training an-"
"A lot of other things I don't care about, I presume?"
"Charming, I see. You are?" He asked, the annoyance laced in his tone.
"Regina Mills."
"Did you know Regina means -"
"Queen? Yes. I did."
"Em. Yes, Mi-"
"Regina."
"Wh-"
"My names Regina."
"So you said. Why do you keep -"
"Interrupting you?" Regina smirked at this back and forth banter. "You hate it."
"Well, it is a little rude. So I cant say I d-"
"Do like it?"
"Can you -"
"Stop. No" Just then Archie yelled out to come and grab the group t-shirts. "Have a nice day..."
As everyone broke away, people went to friends while other drifted off to the stack of t-shirts. Not knowing what else she should do, Regina stalked off to the group of girls and her possible... friend?
"Hello, ladies. I'm Dorothy. What room you girls in?" The only thing Regina could think of was why is everyone in this damn camp so cheerful as she absently listened to the conversation.
"G3!" Tink exclaimed before Dorothy mumbled a reply handing the girls blue t-shirts with the camp logo on the right side with "Storybrooke " over it and "Dragons" under it. Looking over at some of the other campers with there t-shirts she notices the red shirts for the Griffins.
"Hey, Ruby?" Regina said as she looked out over the Ruby hummed in response Regina continued "shouldn't Dragons be red? Because of the fire and... doesn't it just seem odd?"
"Well. I so-" Ruby started with a puzzled look before being interrupted by the loud love of Archie.
"Okay campers! Into the sports hall!" Once the two teams were in the sports hall and changed into their team t-shirts, Archie stood up and announced Zelena to give the instructions for their game... the game of Dodgeball.
"Right... Throw the ball at your opponent. If it hits them they're out. If they catch it you're out and one of there teammates are back in..." Zelena deadpanned. "Okay?" Not waiting for a reply she yelled "into positions!
The Dragons and the Griffins lined up on opposite sides of the sports hall. Some of them already getting ready to run and collect the balls. Others already waiting for the game to finish. Some are just looking forward to winning.
"Ready! Set! GO!" As the 'Go' was yelled people started running and balls started getting thrown around the hall. Five minutes into the game and only a few people were left on both sides.
For the Griffins, it was Emma, Mary-Margaret, David and Merida.
For the Dragons, it was Regina, Mulan and Robin.
Five minutes in, and Regina was pissed. Left standing with a quite Tomboy and a smug brit. While facing off against two idiots, a Scotswoman and Emma Swan. Who was not only glaring daggers at her? But also purposely throwing the balls directly at her. The funny thing was Regina had yet to throw one ball. All she had done so far was dodge. But after all. That is the name of the game.
Shouts of "Get your head in the game Dragons!" And "go Griffins!" Cheered them on.
Regina finally bent down and picked up a stray ball. Looking around she saw Robin throwing a ball and hitting M-M. Mulan dodging and throwing a ball aimlessly. Regina looked across and saw David distracted and so she sent the ball flying across the hall. Hitting the boy in the face.
"Good work Mills." Mulan complimented.
A few moments later it was down to two people. Regina and Emma. Balls were flying across the hall. Emma barely dodging some.
"That all you got?" Emma yelled across.
"Oh. You have no idea what I'm capable of!" Regina yelled with so much venom as she threw the dodgeball flying across the hall. Emma ducking down but as she ducked the ball hit her. Right in the chest.
The Dragons jumped up and ran to Regina. Zelena yelled, "And the winner is the Dragons!"
John and Will grabbed Regina and picked her up into the air. Ecos of "Regina, Regina, Regina!" Could be heard across the hall.
As the Dragons celebrated and the Griffons complained. The gruff voice of the dinner lady, Miss Lucas Aka Granny yelled in "Dinner time!"
"Okay, campers!" Everyone turned to Archie. "To the dining hall!"
Hope you enjoyed! Please do leave a Review and tell me what you think!
