Chapter 1: The Bus Ride
"Location: California, June 19th 2013"
On a bus somewhere in a forest in California, the Rugrats and their families, Peter, Kuzco, Patcha, Kronk, Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver, Scroop, Mike, Sulley, Randall, Kenai, Denahi, Sitka, Nigel Thornberry, Danny Fenton, Sam Manson, Tucker Foley, Zim, GIR, and Tak were taking a trip to a camp called Camp Everwood for a week.
Currently, Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Kimi, and Peter were looking at a video on Tommy's Camcorder. In the video, Lil and Wendy Pleakley were making popcorn in the kitchen of Tommy and Dil's house the previous night, when there was a call on the house phone. Pleakley answered it to find a man on the other line of the phone acting like he knew whatever they were doing. The human and alien got freaked out, and they started locking each of the doors. However, they soon discovered that it was just a prank by Dil and Art the Monster. Tommy sighed and closed the Camcorder lid.
"Ugh, lame. This horror movie thing is a bust." Tommy said.
Lil closed her eyes.
"I promise not to laugh next time, Tommy." Lil said.
"There will be no next time. I'm all out of Summer." Tommy said.
Peter sighed and patted Tommy on his back.
"Don't give up now, Tommy. You'll come up with something." Peter said encouragingly.
Kimi nodded in agreement.
"Peter's right. Your probably just going through a funk right now. It'll pass." Kimi said.
Angelica, who was sitting on a seat on the opposite side of the bus, scoffed.
"Don't rush it, Pickles. Summer isn't over until I sing and get the lead in the camp musical." Angelica said.
Susie, who was sitting next to Angelica, rolled her eyes.
"I see your ego is fat." Susie said.
Danny, who was sitting behind Angelica and Susie with Sam and Tucker, nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, you really need to humble yourself, Angelica. Your acting like a big bully." Danny said.
Angelica scoffed.
"Don't tell me what to do, Fenton. You may be the half-ghost hero of Amity Park, but I'm my own person and I can make my own decisions." Angelica said.
Just then, the bus passed a sign that read 'Camp Everwood, 7 Miles'.
"Ugh, going to Summer School for Summer School. I have to cramp three months of fun into one week." Phil said angrily.
"I refuse to come home until I at least find one thing I'm good at... but don't quote me on that." Chuckie said.
"Well, I won't go back to my world until I find something exciting to study at the camp. It's a new place for us, after all." Nigel said.
Zim grinned evilly.
"Or maybe a place for me to conquer." Zim said.
Randall groaned.
"Can you stop with the "conquering" stuff, please? If you continue to do that, people will think that your a terrorist or something, and they'll do something horrible to you." Randall said.
Dil leaned back in his seat.
"I want to run with Bigfoot. Not serious quality time, just a brief visual will do." Dil said.
Patcha smirked and leaned back in his seat.
"I just want to sit back and relax, and enjoy our time in the camp. It is a vacation, after all." Patcha said.
"Maybe for you, but for me, it's not." Phil said angrily.
"Ah, cheer up, will you? Maybe you'll find something exciting to learn about." Tak said.
Jim turned to Tommy.
"What do you plan on doing, Tommy?" Jim asked.
"I plan on reshooting my movie. If nothing else, at least the camp locations will be creepy." Tommy replied.
Mike shook his head.
"Well, yeah, maybe, but remember, Tommy, not all of us are so easily scared. Three of us are monsters and are used to scary things." Mike said.
Danny nodded.
"Yeah, and I'm a half-ghost, and have battled very dangerous and terrifying ghosts." Danny added.
"Me and Silver are space pirates." Scroop added.
"I died briefly back in 2003, and me and Kenai gained our animal abilities." Sitka added.
"I go to dangerous places every month on explorations." Nigel added.
"And I've been through worse then some camp. I'm Invader Zim, after all!" Zim added.
Just then, the bus turned onto a dirt road and passed by a sign that read 'Camp Everwood, 5 Miles'.
"And this is Betty Deville's wild ride!" Betty, who was driving the bus, exclaimed.
"Betty, please, keep the bouncing to a minimum. I just had kidney surgery." Charlotte said.
Tucker shivered in disgust.
"Yeah, please don't bring that up." Tucker said.
After a few more minutes, the bus came to a stop in front of a sign that read 'Camp Everwood'.
"Well, this is it, folks! Welcome to Camp Everwood!" Betty announced.
