Chapter 1

"Hey Pit!" X-ray shook Armpit violently, yelling in his ear, it was never easy to wake him up. The rest of D-tent were waking at the sound of the wake up bell, stretching and rubbing their eyes and changing into their work jumpsuits.

Squid began to mumble discontentedly whilst wrapping his head with a bandanna, Zigzag came up to him a tapped him roughly on the shoulder causing Squid to jolt forwards. He turned on him with a "Hey, quit that!" and tried to push playfully. Only he was unsuccessful as Zigzag took a hold of one arm and twisted it lightly behind his back. They both allowed a chuckle to escape their lips.

"Hang on a sec," Zigzag let go and turned him around looking at his arm below his rolled up sleeve with a confused look on his face, there were two little dots of dried blood on his arm, "What the heck is that?" He pointed it out to squid "Hey, guys, what does this look like to you?" he questioned. As the others gave a general murmur of "no clue." They heard another voice pipe up.

"Hey guys, looks like I got it too!" X-ray held his arm up to the rest of the group to show them. After the rest of the group had checked their arms (and some legs) they had discovered they all had the same mark.

"It's like we got bitten by something" Stanley said quietly, but before anyone could say anything else they heard Mr. Sir shouting and they remembered they had to be somewhere. So they walked out of the tent and headed towards the 'library'.

"C'mon ladies! Get your shovels and your breakfast!" They all lined up and grabbed the disgusting honey tortillas. Stanley groaned at the taste but finished as much as he could of his 'breakfast' before beginning to dig his hole.

It wasn't as hot today and that made everyone slightly more relaxed, they were all in a really good mood today. When the water truck came Mr. Sir stepped out and called over to Dr. Pandenski, they muttered to each other for a while, and then showed each other their wrists revealing that they too had the dots. "Yo mom! You got the bite things too?" X-ray stopped digging yelling and walked over.

"Yup. I think everyone in green lakes got em'." Mr Sir answered for him whilst filling up his canteen "dunno what caused it, if it was a spider or a snake it'd be a poisonous one, and we don't got no lizards round here 'cept for yellow spots"

"Well what else could it be? I mean it looks like a bite mark, right?" asked Stanley but the two men only shrugged and said "we all wondering' that."

When Stanley turned around Magnet and Zigzag were in the middle of a very heated argument looking like they were about to get into a fight.

"Hey!" Mr. Sir yelled "get back to digging your holes!" What came out of his mouth next shocked them all, he started singing.

You got to go dig those holes,
with broken hands and withered souls.
Emancipated, from all you know.
You got to go dig those holes

Then a beat started up out of nowhere, but how? There were no instruments anywhere so how? They were all shocked again when everyone joined in

Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh

Stanley started rapping and all heads whirled towards him.

Two suits, two tokens at hand.
I got no respect, 'cuz I'm the new man.
Got my shovel, shoes full of sand.
Check out the tag; the name is 'Caveman'. UH.

Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh.

As all of D-tent leaped out of their holes and started to dance, it was X-rays turn to rap.

Take a bad boy,
Make him dig 5 feet.
The dirt in these shovels will give us a beat.
OK, ya gotta find something' never found before.
If not, you'll just have to dig s'more.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, oh.

They all sung and then the chorus again

Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh.

Everyone was surprised when Zero started, he hardly ever talked and now he was singing.

Your eyes may blister,
your muscles, they sore.
You wanna break,
Knock on the Warden's door.
UH-HUH, UH-HUH

And surprisingly he seemed to have the best voice of all of them

Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh.

The boys all laughed at Armpit's verse as it was rather comedic.

A-R-M-P-I to the T.
What is that you smelling' dog?
That's me.
I don't take showers and I don't brush my teeth.
That's all I do is dig holes, eat and sleep.

There is no lake,
there is no shade,
there is no place to hide,
so, just sit and wait to fry.

Mr. Sir joined in again

You got to go dig those holes.

Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Dig it.
Dig it, uh, oh, oh, Oh.

Take a bad boy,
Make him dig 5 feet,
Got my shovel,
Shoes full of sand,
The dirt in these shovels will give us a beat,
Check out the tag,
The name is; 'Caveman'

Wake up in the mornin'
Before the sun.
Keep diggin' them holes,
'Till the day is done.
Wake up in the mornin'
before the sun.
Keep diggin' them holes,
'Till the day is done

They finished as the music faded out.

There was a silence that seemed to last forever before finally X-ray realised that this situation could only be summed up in three words.

"What the hell!"

Squid chipped in with, "What the Frick just happened?"

"No kidding" Stanley said "Did anybody else have a feeling like you couldn't control yourself?"

"Yeah!" Zigzag answered "Like, I wanted to stop singing and I was telling myself to stop but I couldn't."

"Yeah, same here" Said X-ray, but Mr. Sir interrupted their conversation by yelling "Ladies! Get back to your holes!" and they did as they were told. As they began digging Mr Sir added in a dangerous tone, "and if anybody says anything about this ever again, you gonna get it". He then abruptly turned around and thwacked Dr. Pandenski round the head for laughing.
