Chapter One

One Month Ago…

This day was the first activity day for both Camp Kidney and Acorn Flats; the two camps of Prickly Pines. With the Bean Scouts residing in the former camp, and the Squirrel Scouts occupying the latter camp, there was almost always a state of competition between the two camps.

However, on this activity day, it was one of those "every scout for him-or-her-self" contests. It was the annual Wallpaper Day Science Fair. As expected, every scout, well… maybe the ones the audience cares about, were all busy maintaining their projects and showing them off to the judges and the spectators of the event.

For instance: Raj had an "Automatic Marshmallow Dispenser Machine." Samson had a "Health Buddy Assistant." And Patsy had a "Southpaw Boxing Partner 3000."

Meanwhile, over at Lazlo's table, he was showing Edward his creation.

"What in the name of Pete is that supposed to be?" Edward asked.

Lazlo very smugly replied, "This Edward is my Time Machine!" Lazlo's "Time Machine" was made out of nothing more than twigs, chewed gum, a light bulb, and an old soda can.

Edward clapped his palm to his face, and slowly brought it back down, the universal sign for "You have got to be kidding me."

"Lazlo, I think I speak for everyone when I say, that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen you do." Edward started to walk away, but Lazlo cried out, "I'm telling you it works, I've went back to Ancient Egypt with this thing!"

Lazlo then just shrugged it off, figuring that Edward would come to his senses. He was just so excited to try it out when the judges came to see it. But before long, Nina, a giraffe Squirrel Scout and the winner of the Science Fair two years running approached him.

"Hey Lazlo, I hate to interrupt with your… project, but one of my spiders for my project got away. Could you help me find him?" Lazlo turned his head and was about to answer, when he suddenly felt an incredible sting on the front of his hand. He shrieked and saw what it was: A spider has bitten him. "I think I found it Nina…"

He held out his hand, and sure enough, the spider was there. Nina pulled it off using a pair of pliers. "Thanks Lazlo! And don't worry, it's non-toxic, you'll be fine." She said as she walked back to her table.

Lazlo looked at his hand, it was slightly swollen. But he was certain that with a little ice, it'll be fine in no time at all.

At the end of the day, and the fair, Lazlo and his two friends, Raj and Clam, were about to play a nice game of "Mad Scientist" when Lazlo said, looking tired, "Guys, I'm tired I'm going to bed." Raj, surprised, asked, "But Lazlo it's only 7:30."

"I know but I just suddenly feel so beat. We'll play tomorrow though." Lazlo said as he slumped back to his cabin.

Lazlo got into his bed and fell asleep, he didn't even bother to get out of his uniform, he was way too tired to get into his PJs…

A.N: And so the transformation begins…
