Leone, Sybille, Roxanne, Gina, Victoria, Alison, and Melissa.
They prefer to be called Lion, Nails, Baby, Jinx, Bookie, and Pixie.
And there they were. On a rickety old cheese bus, that had seats torn and no air conditioning. They sat in different seats to let the air circulate more throughout the bus. But unfortunately, fate and Mother Nature wanted to be funny and give them unbearable air. Baby sat with the longest hair of them all. Given the grace of beautiful brown curly hair and tanned skin from her father, she had the hardest time adjusting to the heat. Her hair made her sweatier then before and now she was regretting not having it braided by Pixie. As soon as she got 'Camp Hell on Earth,' she'd ask her to fix that problem immediately.
Lion sat there with her book of sheet music in her hand. She was a guitarist for the band she created and she really needed some new material. The girls brought a lot of things with them, like guitars, drums, and a keyboard. Even a portable recording studio and a laptop that Baby knew how to work inside out.
The girls all looked out the windows aimlessly as they passed by dirt, dirt, and guess what… more DIRT! Nails scoffed at the sight and got the attention of all the girls. "Wow, a desert. Fascinating."
The girls giggled silently and looked back out the windows. All the girls were pretty intent on being silent but Pixie was a different story. She was always happy and energetic that it kind of seemed impossible for her to keep quiet. There were some days were she was just absolutely down but most of the time she was bouncing around from girl to girl talking about different things. She could never give anyone the silent treatment. To her, it was the most painful thing in the world. But that was her, the ever annoying Pixie.
Pixie got up and paced the center of the aisle on the bus back and forth. She was obviously thinking. Nails looked at her and started coughing roughly. Everybody looked at her curiously and Pixie stopped pacing. "What's wrong?" Jinx asked concerned.
"Pixie, its already hot and the air is extremely dry. We don't need you thinking and you're brain smoking making the air worse."
All the girls laughed at Nails remark, but Pixie huffed and placed her hands on her small frame. She glared playfully at Nails and chuckled a little before speaking.
"You know just because you're mad about being here doesn't mean you have to take it out on me."
Baby sighed and commented, "You're the only one that's optimistic about being at a boy's camp."
"Well, duh. There boys. There's gotta be some hot ones there."
"Criminals aren't hot. There fat and annoying." Lion answered.
"Right and how many criminals have you met?" Jinx asked.
After the short silence, the girls all laughed quietly before Baby spoke up. "Look, Pixie will you sit down. You're making me hotter than I already am. If that's even possible." Pixie pouted at the statement and sat back down in her seat. Baby grabbed her bag and opened it. She pulled out her laptop and turned it on. After booting up, she went to Limewire™ and started to play music. All the girls laughed and nodded their heads at the slow beat to 'Come Over' by Estelle featuring Sean Paul. Baby looked outside to see dirt flying and the edges of shovels poking from underground. She rolled her eyes and immediately realized that Aunt Lou never changed one bit. She had other kids doing the dirty work now.
The bus lurched to a stop and the girls packed up their stuff. They left the bus and immediately regretted doing so. The heat was beating down so strong that the girls almost collapsed. After all their belongings were thrown off the bus, the bus took off leaving the girls pondering where to go. Lion covered her eyes with her hand while squinting to see through the heat. "Where the hell are we?!" Nails screamed. Bookie looked to see some pipsqueak of a man walking towards them.
The girls stood quietly as he walked up. "Hello, I'm Dr. Pendanski. I'm a counselor here at Camp Green Lake. You must be the Warden's nieces." He said overly excited. "Yeah, um, I'm Leone. This is Sybille and Roxanne. My sisters. These are our friends Gina, Victoria, Alison and Melissa. They came to feel our pain." The girls chuckled as Dr. Pendanski smiled and waved his hand.
"Follow me. I'll show you to your Aunt's cabin."
The girls followed him and walked in the blazing heat. They finally got to the cabin to see Aunt Lou walk out of the house. She walked down the porch and hugged every one of them. "Come on in!" Aunt Lou said excitedly. They all walked into the cabin and were relieved to feel the air conditioning making the house cool. They walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. "I'm so happy you're here!" Aunt Lou said.
"Yeah, well… Mom wanted us to come." Leone answered dully.
"I heard you been getting into some trouble."
"That's what we are though… TROUBLE."
Aunt Lou laughed and spoke again. "So, you know the rules right?"
"Yeah. Be careful, don't get dehydrated, don't get lost, and a least one hole a week." Baby answered.
"Good. Well, Welcome to Camp Green Lake."
