Okay, sorry for the hold up. I had this great idea for another Fan-Fiction and had to run with it. I don't own anything. So, without further ado, the story continues…

Darren

Woah! Camm was… Amazing! I couldn't believe it. That fire got so big, and then she swallowed it! Everyone was talking about her after the presentation was done. I kept thinking about her, but I was hoping that was because my brain was stunned that anyone could control fire.

Back in my tent, I talked to Evra about it.

"Dude, it sounds like you have a crush on the new girl!" He said while laughing.

I snorted. As if! But, she was really pretty and she seemed to have a good personality…

"Snap out of it!" Evra scolded me. Then, he sang, "Darren and Camm, sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriege. The comes the ba-"

I tackled him before he could finish. Then we got into a pillow fight, and started laughing and hitting and rolling around.

Camm

I was outside his tent, wanting to thank him for the water. Not really eavesdropping, right? Then I heard someone say something curious. Darren liked me? No one even remotely likes me.

Then came the bigger question. Do I like him? I didn't really know him, but he was cute and was nice enough to bring a random girl (me) water.

I just didn't know.

Then I heard laughing and lots of thumping around and figured they were just playing around, so I figured I would tell Darren thanks tomorrow.

But were would I sleep tonight?

I went to Mr. Tall, because he seemed to be the boss around here.

"Hmm, the only place left is with Mr. Evra Von and Mr. Darren Shan. I'm sorry, but we have a lot of performers at the time and every where else is full. At least for tonight, you will have to sleep with those hooligans. Again, I'm sorry."

WHAT!! I felt like screaming. Being in the same room as Darren for hours…

Wait. Why do I care? Ugh.

I went to their tent with a sleeping bag, towel, and toothbrush that Mr. Tall had given me. He had also told me to go to Madame Truska for some clothes.

"Hello?" I said cautiously. Maybe they were asleep or they weren't there or-

My thoughts go cut off by an even more cautious "Who is that?" I'm guessing it wasn't Darren. Must be Evra, the other boy Mr. Tall talked about. The one who said that Darren liked me.

"Uhh, it's Camm. The new girl. Mr. Tall told me I would have to sleep in your tent tonight. So, yeah."

They were quiet, then I heard a lot of rustling. I guess they weren't "presentable". Good thing I didn't go with my other plan to just walk into the tent.

Then Darren came through the flap of the tent. He studied me for a second then looked away and blushed.

"Why are y-" He cut me off and pointed at me. No, not me, my clothes.

I looked down. Oops. Mr. Tall had given me a towel for a reason, I guess. My clothes were a tattered mess. No one had noticed before because of all the excitement. I blush.

"You should really go to Madame Truska." Darren says, still not looking at me.

"So I've been told. But there's a slight problem with that. I don't know where she is!"

"I'll show you. Just, one moment." Darren goes back inside.

I hear rustling, then murmuring. Probably Darren telling Evra where's he's going. Then more rustling. Darren comes back out with a shirt for me.

I mutter a thanks, still embarrassed, and put on the shirt.

We head off to the east, and soon enough we come upon an old trailer. Darren knocks and a beautiful woman appears. She has flowing blonde hair and sparkling eyes.

Darren just points at me and she beckons us inside.

"She speaks a different language. Not many know it." Darren informs me. "I'll wait out here."

Madame Truska measures me a lot, then goes dashing off to find something suitable.

She comes back with a frilly pink gown. I shake my head no, because it is disgusting. I hate pink. And frills.

She seems to understand, because she comes back with a pair of jet black skinny jeans. I try them on, and they fit perfectly, except that they are a little long. Oh well, I like them like that.

She nods, then runs off to find me a shirt and she comes back this time, she has a gary shirt with fire on it. Perfect.

I point at my feet, and she pulls out some aqua converse. Where does she get all this stuff?

I make a thumbs-up sign and she holds up her pointer finger, as if to say "one minute!"

She pulls out of her pocket a black and white checkered bandana. I put it on like a choker and look in a mirror. Wow! I look good.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" I say before I remember she won't understand. But, she seems to get the gesture and gives me a hug. Then I walk outside.

Darren gasps, and I'm blad it's dark outside because I blush. Again.

"You look… Great."

I smile. "Where can I wash up?"

"I think theres a creek around here. I'll show you."

"I've never bathed in a creek."

"At least it's summer. During the winter, It gets pretty cold."

He shows me the creek and goes back to his- our tent.

I clean myself and am thankful for the towel. I dress and go to the tent.

"Camm, this is Evra Von." Darren says when I walk in.

I gasp. "Awesome!" He is covered in scales, and I think he looks pretty cool.

"Thanks." He sys. He seems pretty shy.

"That's your hammock," Darren says, pointing to the corner.

I lie down, and I have to admit. It's pretty comfy.

"Night." Evra says.

"Night," me and Darren reply at the same time.

After a couple moments of silence, I add, "Darren, I like your pirate costume."

He he! Tell me what you think! Review please! Sorry about changing the POV right in the middle of a chapter, but I figured it would be more effective from Camm's.
