"Here we are boys" Mr Douglas announced as they drove up a small dirt road. The eldest son, Rocky at the age of 15 with light, glossy brown hair and amazing green eyes which sometimes appeared blue put down the ninja camp brochure that he was reading and peered out of the window. " Hey Colt lemme see!" Rocky's youngest brother complained and tried to peer over his older brother's broad shoulder, eho was sitting on the other side of the car, staring out of the opposite window.. The second eldest brother, 14 years old with dark brown hair and beautiful brown eye's pushed him away. "Tum Tum get off me!" Colt said and frowned. "Mum, Colt won't let me see!" Tum Tum whined. Rocky who hated to see his brother's fighting leant back in his seat. "Tum Tum you can look out of this window" he offered. His mother smiled gratefully at him, she too hated to see her son's fighting. It wasn't unusual for Colt and his younger brother Tum Tum, 12 to argue. Tum Tum moved his small head, covered in dark brown hair over to Rocky's side of the car and peered through the window with his brown eyes. "This is it?" Tum Tum asked.
The three young, good-looking brothers stared out the window. From what they could see the site was amazingly beautiful. It was a perfect day during the summer. The campsite was surrounded by mountains and situated in amongst lush, green rainforest. The sun was shining brightly above them and there was not a cloud in the clear, blue sky. Birds were singing and the faint sound of flowing water could be heard. The campsite itself was quite small. There was about 8 small, wooden cabins surrounding a large, open, grass area. Three larger buildings were hidden in amongst the trees further behind the smaller cabins. There was green grass as far as the eye could see and a couple of large rainforest trees were scattered in amongst the campsite. Further out the three boys could see a fairly large lake.
"It's Beautiful" Mr Douglas said as Mr Douglas parked the car in the almost full car park. She then got out of the car. The three sons followed their parents out of the car. "It's not that good," Colt said angrily. Even though he did agree with his mother he didn't want to admit it. He was still angry at the fact that he and his brothers had to go to a ninja camp instead of going to their grandpa's cabin like they did every summer. Because their grandpa was ill their parents decided that the boys would stay at a camp while they went to stay with their grandpa until he got better. "I'm sure you boys will have a great time!" Mrs Douglas said reassuringly. Rocky compared his surroundings to the photos, which were in the brochure. "Wow, this place does looks a lot better then it does in the brochure!" he exclaimed. Mr Douglas began unloading the boy's luggage.
A Japanese man who looked about 30 appeared out of one of the small cabins. He approached the Douglas's. "Ah welcome, I am Hiroshi Komori, one of many camp counsellors at Ninja Camp". He bowed formally. "We have been expecting you," he said with a strong Japanese accent. The Douglas's introduced them selves and shook Hiroshi's hand. "Now could you please follow me" Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum said their farewells to their parents and after being covered with kisses from their mum they carried their luggage and followed the counsellor to the open grass area, which was now filled with noisy chatting young people. Sensei Komori lead them over to the area and told them to sit down, as the head counsellor was about to talk.
Once everyone had been silenced and seated an old man, who had a long white beard and a moustache that, was just as long and was wearing a black kimono stood at the front of the group. "Welcome to our Ninja Camp. I am Taroo Shinto, but you may address me and all the counsellors as Sensei meaning Teacher" He continued to talk about what they all would be doing, during the time they spent at the camp and that they would be having ninja lessons everyday from 8am until 10am. "Everybody has been organised into groups of 6 people, consisting of 3 boys and 3 girls. Each boy and girl in the group has been partnered up with another group member of the opposite sex. Your group will share a cabin and will train with each other for the ninja tournament, which will occur in about 3 weeks." "Oh man we have to be paired up with girls!" Colt complained as Sensei Komori paused to clear throat. Rocky put his finger to his lips. "Each Group will be allocated a counsellor, a name and a colour and will compete against other groups in the tournament." Sensei Shinto continued. "Each counsellor will now call out their groups." He stepped back and the first camp counsellor came forward. The counsellor held an orange clipboard. He then introduced himself and then read out the group members. Eventually Sensei Komori, the counsellor who had welcomed the three brothers came forward holding a red clipboard. "Kinnichiwa (Hello in Japanese). I am Hiroshi Komori. I am the counsellor of the Dragon, group." He flipped through the pieces of paper in his clipboard. "The people in my group are Sam Douglas, Jeffrey Douglas, Michael Douglas, Amber Wilson, Shjaylan Wade, and Melinda Jackson". After hearing their names Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum gathered up their luggage and headed to their counsellor.
After Sensei Shinto had finished lecturing the entire camp, Sensei Komori lead Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum to one of the small cabins with a picture of a dragon painted on the front. Sensei Komori held the door open for the three boys to see. There were two small rooms inside. " This is your cabin and this is your bedroom. The other bedroom is for the rest of your group. There are two bunks and two single beds. There is also a small set of drawers for each of you" He pulled open one of the top draws. "You can put your belongings in here" "The toilets and the showers are over there in the brown brick building." He pointed outside to the building, which was in the middle of the camp so everybody could have access to it. "Your first ninja lesson is on in about and hour. Well I must go now and find the rest of your group, I hope you enjoy your stay" He bowed formally and left the cabin. Colt flopped onto the single bed. "I hope this camp doesn't suck!" He exclaimed. Rocky sat down on the bed beside him. "I'm sure it won't be," he said reassuringly. "I reckon it will be cool" Tum Tum said as emptied the contents of his bag onto the bottom bed of the bunk. He began sorting through his belongings until he found his stash of junk food. He began putting them into his top draw. " Do you think you've got enough?" Colt said sarcastically. "Enough for the summer" Tum Tum replied. Colt rolled his eyes. "I wonder who our ninja partners are like..." Rocky said. "Yeah so do I, when are we going to meet them?" Tum Tum asked. "I dunno and I don't really care! I don't wanna be stuck with some one for the whole time at camp!" Colt exclaimed angrily. "Well with that temper of yours no wonder they needed someone to baby sit you" Tum Tum snickered. Colt hurtled a pillow over to him but Tum Tum ducked and it hit the wall.
