Okay, no long authors' note here. Just a few things to say about the fic...
We have no clue how long this is going to be. Some characters may seem a bit OOC, but, hey, it's humor, so who cares? Beware of shounen-ai content [ 'MOM,' or 'male on male,' content ] and some pervertedness. Also, neither of us have been to camp, probably due to the fact that we live in a lame little fishing community, so don't blame us if some of the stuff that goes on isn't accurate. ^__^; We do try our best.
Disclaimer - Mankin isn't ours! Really, I mean it... -shifty glance- Becky does own the acronym 'MOM' though. ^__^;; -points up to authors' note-

Camp Happy Pants
By I Club Baby Seals and Bo Jangles [ a.k.a. TheHineyGods ]
Prologue
-
No return address. Yoh flipped the envelope over in his hands. Still no return address.
Said envelope was a blank white except for 'Yoh Asakura' along with the address scribbled on the front and a little sticker sealing the flap shut on the back. Shrugging, Yoh pulled at the sticker and opened the envelope then removed the two sheets of paper inside.
He unfolded the first paper and began to read it.
'Dearest Yoh Asakura,' it began. His name was scrawled carelessly into a blank beside the first word.
'We are pleased to inform you that you have been invited to enjoy the experience of a month-long stay at Camp Happy Pants. Our summer camp offers an exciting variety of activities, from arts and crafts to swimming in the camp lake.'
The rest of the letter gave instructions on signing up and an address to mail the completed form to. It was signed 'Your friends at Camp Happy Pants.'
"Summer camp sounds like fun," he commented to himself with a chuckle.
"What?!"
"You signed us up for summer camp?"
"Kisama!"
Confused and enraged remarks came from the Asakura household.
Yoh, Manta, Ren, Horo Horo, Chocolove, Ryu, and Lyserg were sitting around the tea table, all rather cramped. They were staring -- or, in some cases, glaring -- at Yoh, who held up his hands defensively, smiling.
"C'mon... it'll be fun," he said, looking around at the others. "After all, it can't be too bad, with a name like Camp Happy Pants."
Ren's hair twitched. "This," he growled, "is not funny."
Aside from Ren's the other reactions were fairly positive. Manta, Horo, and Chocolove didn't seem too ruffled by the idea of spending a month at a place called Camp Happy Pants, and Ryu was willing to go anywhere Yoh would. Lyserg, on the other hand, didn't seem like he had been paying much attention. He was offhandedly muttering something about Hao and his parents.
"It's okay, Lyserg," Yoh reassured him. "I promise that Hao won't be there." Lyserg nodded in response.
"Well, then, we're to meet at the bus stop at five a.m. sharp on Saturday," Yoh announced happily with a clap of his hands.
Everyone groaned.
The fateful Saturday rolled around a little too soon for the likes of Ren. As he made his way to the crowded bus stop, he grumbled unhappily.
"Good morning, Ren!" Yoh greeted the least happy camper.
"This is not funny," Ren muttered in return, dragging himself to the full bench. He glared at Horo, Manta, and Ryu, the three snoozing occupants. With a single swipe of his kwan dao, Ren had rendered the bench legless and occupants wide awake. He grinned and moved on.
As Chocolove attempted to cheer Lyserg up, and Ren glowered at Chocolove, the bus pulled up. But this was no normal bus. This was the Camp Happy Pants bus.
The front hood had a pair of pants with a smiley face painted on it. On the sides of the bus, the words 'Funbari Prison Bus' had been crossed out to make room for 'Camp Happy Pants.' The windows were adorned with bars that, apparently, hadn't been removed between the prison-to-camp switch.
The door squeaked open and a tubby man wearing a shirt that seemed incapable of covering his belly button climbed out.
"You the Camp Happy Pants crew?" he grunted, scratching his butt. The group took this cue to look at Yoh, who glanced around, grinned, and nodded.
"Good. Climb on. Luggage on the floor, under your seats. One person to a seat. And no one sits in the seats directly behind the driver," the fat man rattled off.
Soon after, the seven soon-to-be campers had seated themselves and were on their way to camp.
Three hours, five rest stops, and one spare tire later, they turned onto a small dirt road. As the bus ride went from bumpy to bumpier, the sleeping passengers were jolted awake.
Horo, who had been singing '99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall,' jumped up in his seat.
"Camp! We're at camp!" he screeched, bouncing around in his seat.
"SIT DOWN!" Frank, the angry bus driver, yelled. Horo reseated himself and pressed his face against the window.
Glazed eyes watched a large wooden sign reading 'Welcome Campers' pass over the bus. As the end of the bus made its way under the sign, the W from 'Welcome' broke from its spot and plummeted to the dirt below.
Yep, they had arrived at Camp Happy Pants.

Well, the prologue's done! And, hey, we posted chapter one, too, so you can read it if you like what you see. ^__^ Go ahead, read it and review! Feel free to give ideas, point out any typos or errors that I didn't catch, or even flame. We think flames are funny. XD
