Chapter 2: Getting Settled
"Oh, thank god!!!" London said as she entered the Lodge, "I thought this was just going to be a crappy camp cabin!" "Well what did you think," Jason asked her, "that I would even come here if it wasn't? By the way, your cabin is over there." "Did you say cabin?" London said, downcast. "Yeah," Shane said. London sighed and said "Okay, let's go guys." She promptly walked out of the lodge followed by Esteban, Arwin and Maddie, all of whom were carrying some assortment of London's stuff.
"You live in a hotel?" Lilly asked, "Awesome!" "So, do you get free room service?" Oliver asked. "Totally." Zack said, looking at Miley instead of facing Oliver. "I also know some really good places to eat." "What?" Oliver said. "Never mind." Zack said, snapping put of his trance. "This little playboy is starting to piss me off." Miley told Lilly, I'm going to go get settled at the Cabin." "Why do we get a cabin while those Connect 3 snobs get a lodge?" Lilly whispered, "Your Hannah Montana, how come we can't get a Lodge too?" "I'm not Hannah in three days, remember?" "Whatever." Lilly said, then headed for the Cabin.
Zack stared after Miley, then snapped back to his ongoing conversation with Miley's brother Jackson and Oliver. "So, anyway, we were talking about the body, right?" "Yeah, we thought that we could have a competition to see who could find it first." "Wouldn't it be easier just to work together?" Cody asked. "Yeah," Jackson agreed, but this way it's more fun." Everyone agreed to this. "Okay," Zack said, "Tomorrow, we take you on!" "Why tomorrow?" Oliver asked. There was a pause, Then both groups raced to the forest.
As soon as Ryan settled in at the Counselors Cabin, Sharpay was in his room. "So, How are we going to get back at these losers this time?" She asked. Ryan stared at her for a minute, then said "No."
"What?" She asked.
"You heard me. No."
"Why not?"
"Because, I am sick of your games, and of me just being your pawn." Sharpay looked at him with anger, then softened and sat down next to him on his bed. "Look, Ryan," she said in a soft tone, "I know that we sort of left on the wrong foot, but this is a chance to make it better, to bring back the good old Evans Team. Wouldn't that be great? To be a loving brother and sister again?" "I suppose so." Ryan said. "That's my brother. Besides, it won't be anything major like High school." She then lowered her voice and said "just turn Gabriella against Troy and destroy Chad's friendship."
"What?"
"See you in the woods tomorrow at 2:00."
"Why?"
"Because we need to plan, silly. By the way, is it Just me, or did that trampy girl with London look like me at all?" "I didn't see the resemblance." "Oh." Sharpay said, then walked out of the room.
The First day of camping was coming to an end, and Carly was already wiped out. Her cabin (though it was a VIP cabin, and the camp map called it a lodge) was outrageously nice, like a hotel suite, and Spencer thought it looked so nice, he decided to stay a night before going back to the apartment. After unpacking, she helped Freddie set up the set for tonight's show and went outside to talk. She met these really nice girls named Miley and Lilly. Together, they took a dip in the lake. They didn't stay long though, because a bunch of college kids who joined them on the trip claimed the lake for themselves. They then joined up with Sam (who had been trying to hit on one of the Connect 3 guys) and tried their hand at volleyball. By the end of the day, she and her new friends had tried their hand at every activity there. As soon as the sun set, she went back to her Lodge and Filmed the new episode of iCarly. The camera cut out a few times, and Nevel basically ruined the shoot, but Carly was having too good of a day to care. After the day was over, all she wanted to do was soak in the bath. She got in and almost fell asleep in the tub had it not been for Nevel, who was peeking at her from the crack in the door. "Get out of here, you little perv!!!" she shrieked, and Nevel ran away as fast as he could. Carly, sighed, got out of the tub, got into her Nightclothes, and was asleep before she even hit the pillow.
Maddie walked out into the woods toward Zack and Cody and shrieked "Will you stop looking for that freaking dead body and get inside?!!" Zack just stared at the ground with a look of shock in his face. "I can't believe it," Cody said, "we found it." "What?" Maddie asked in a high pitched voice. "Show her." Cody Said to Zack. With a shaking hand, Zack turned and showed Maddie a bone. Maddie's face of fear turned into a face of anger as she pulled the bone out of their hand. "It's a Pig bone, idiots. It's too small to be a human's." Zack and Cody's face, once gleaming with shock and wonder, instantly became downcast. "Now," Maddie said, "Get the hell inside before the people who come to this camp will be looking for your body." Maddie pointed the boy's in the direction of the cabin with her left hand. They followed her finger, with Maddie covering the back, her right hand clutching the $40 that the blonde Country kid had given her to get those boys back in the house.
Oliver and Jackson stood silently, staring at a roughly shaped headstone. Burnt out candles adorned it, and on it was engraved the word Voorhees. They stared for a bit longer, then Oliver broke the silence: "Are you sure this is it?" Jackson only nodded. Then, he stuck the shovel he got from a tool shed into the ground and dug up a big mound of dirt. "Don't you think that we should wait until morning?" Oliver asked. "Those boys might find it if we leave it, we have to keep digging." Jackson said. "I'm going in." Oliver said decisively. "Go ahead, but nothing can move me away from this grave!" Jackson said. Miley suddenly called through the air "Jackson! Get your ass inside right now!" "Coming!" Jackson called, and then said "Dammit! Now I gave that scraggy girl $40 for nothing!" Jackson pulled the shovel out of the dirt and walked toward the Cabin.
The shoveling above ground had stopped. He wanted to call out, to tell people that he was down here, but that stupid seal that the old man had put on his box kept him from doing anything. No matter, though, he was incapable of dying. He could wait here for ages. He could even wait until the world ended.
