Chapter 1 Arriving at Camp

Maddie and Cassie were finishing unpacking for camp. They ended up in the same tent this year. "Those consolers must not have been thinking when they but us together this year, huh Cass?" Maddie asked. "Oh those poor consolers." Cassie laughed. Both girls had evil grins on their faces and were chuckling. The other girl in their tent was an eleven-year-old named Robin. There was supposed to be another girl but she didn't show or had lice or something they didn't mind having only three people in their tent because that meant an extra bed for their stuff. The girls were in Trails End. That was Cassie's favorite unit because the first year at Redwing she was in Laurel Oaks and the rest of them she was in Trails End. By now the three girls were unpacked. Two consolers came over to them. It was Gryffin and Sky. Maddie and Cassie ran for hugs seeing as Gryffin was one of their favorite consolers at camp. "You girls need to have your swim suits on and your riding clothes over that." Gryffin said with her New York accent. Which we all know that she doesn't live in New York it's just from watching Newsies a lot! "Already done that, Gryf. Can't wait to see Artemis." Maddie and Cassie said simultaneously. Cassie and Maddie had met last year and now over the winter they spent a lot of time talking over the phone and on AIM together seeing as they live almost thirty minutes away. The two girls have become like twins. They just don't look alike. "Oh I have to go. Sky, you, Kristan, and Taylor have to take the girls to their tests. Remember I have to well you know." Gryffin didn't say what because she knew how surprised the two would be to see the boys. "Yeah, yeah I know, I know. Go you have to meet Nike and Artemis." Gryffin waved goodbye as she skipped out of TE past the flushing building. Maddie and Cassie looked at each other like what and the world is going on. "Hey Sky," Cassie called, "where is Gryf going and for what?" Cassie and Maddie both had confused looks on their faces. "Well, I can't tell you. Gryffin said that you two weren't aloud to know." Sky answered. Little robin stepped up, "Sky, how about you whisper it in my ear." "No Robin, sorry no can do. I know you'll tell them." Sky said as she shrugged. "Girls lets go it's time for your riding test." A yell heard off in the distant, it was Kristan. "Let's go you three." Sky implied. All the girl of Trails End lined up in a buddy line. Maddie and Cassie were buddies in front. "Now count off." Taylor told the girls. "1." Maddie yelled loudly. "2." Cassie yelled even louder. Then the other girls continued. "Ok, off we go." Sky said. When they got to the barn Luna, Storm, Tink, Cinders, and Aussie were waiting. The test at the barn went fine.
Sky had the girls line up to go to the pool. On the way Maddie and Cassie insisted on singing Newsie songs. They got to the pool and Eeyore, Gem, Harmony, and Vash were there. "Where's Artemis?" Cassie questioned. No one would answer. As everyone was snickering Maddie Cassie and Robin were all confused. "You can go in now." Harmony changed the subject.
The swim tests were fine every one got a green bracelet. There was still forty-five minutes left till dinner. So Sky, Kristan, and Taylor had all the girls sit in a circle. "Ok, here's what we are going to do," Sky explained, "say your name, if you are a girl scout, your age, favorite band/ music people, and what school you got to." Maddie was sitting to the left of her so she went first. "I'm Maddie, I am a girl scout, I'm 13, I go to Pittsburgh Public School, and NEWSIES FOR LIFE!!! Yay!!" Maddie said. Cassie was next. "I'm Cassie, I am a girl scout, I'm 14, Elizabeth Forward, and NEWSIES!!" Cassie and Maddie did one of their high fives and missed on purpose. Then the hopper bell rang. Sky sent Cassie, Maddie, and Robin, as they were tent one and the most hyper. They set up tables and such. Dinner went by so quickly it usually does on the first night. Then they all went back to Trails End. Gryfffin still wasn't with them. Maddie stepped out of the back of the tent. There were woods that led to the Connie. The Connie was the name of the creek that ran through Redwing. The three girls went into the unit shelter. "Catch!" Maddie yelled as she through the big red ball that was marked with TE. "AHH!" Cassie screamed. She missed. The girls decided to play with the ball for now.
