CHAPTER 4: THE FIRST DAY

The next day, the Reveille horns blasted. Woodstock wisely didn't make a makeshift nest in the bullhorn this time around, instead opting for a nearby tree near Snoopy's camp. Everyone started the day with calisthenics. Later the boys met up with the girls in the mess hall for breakfast. It was there the boys met Joslyn.

"So you're the Joslyn my sister talked to about Margaux," said Linus.

"Yeah, that's me," said Joslyn. "It is nice to meet you. I would have liked to have met your sister face to face, though."

"Yeah, she'll be disappointed she stayed back now," Linus stated.

"So who's your new friend with you guys?" asked Eudora.

"This is Morris," announced Charlie Brown. "He's pretty nervous about being here, but we swore we would look out for him, in case a certain trio started anything with him."

"Just stick with us, kid," said Freddy to Morris. "We won't let anything happen to you on my watch!"

At that moment, the bullies walked in shoving one boy out of their way and standing on top of the table where Charlie Brown and the others were sitting.

"Oh no!" said Morris. "They're here."

"Keep cool, Morris," said Franklin.

"All right listen up, losers!" announced Slim. "Today is the first day of camp competitions. And just so you know, we plan to win! Course you already knew that." Charlie Brown's blood began to boil with anger at those guys.

"So with that said," Slim continued, "may the best man, or woman, win! Of course it will be us, because as usual, guys?"

"WE'RE NUMBER ONE!" cheered the bullies. "WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE!" The bullies finally got off the table and continued to cheer as they left the mess hall.

"Ooh, I hate those guys!" said an angry Frieda.

"You and me both, Frieda," agreed a just as angry Charlie Brown. "We need to stick it to those guys once and for all. They seem to think they run the camp!"

"They kind of do, Pumpkinhead," said Freddy.

"What do you mean, Freddy?" asked Charlie Brown.

"Well Slim, the loudmouthed leader there, his parents own this camp," Freddy stated. "And his goons are always invited here every summer to join him."

"No wonder they seem to get away with murder here," said Linus.

"And I'm sure his folks are none the wiser," added Franklin.

"Exactly," Freddy continued. "So if we're going to get proof of their wrongdoing and finally put these guys to pasture, we will need proof of their shenanigans. But who can we get to find that proof?"

"I think I know just the person!" Charlie Brown said.

"Who is it, sweetie?" asked Frieda.

"Frieda, remember back in October the 'big reveal'?" asked Charlie Brown.

"I think I know where you're going with this," said Frieda with a smile.

"I just need to talk to Snoopy and then make a phone call," Charlie Brown replied.

"What does Snoopy have to do with this, Charlie Brown?" asked Linus.

"Nothing, but Woodstock has a lot to do with it!" Charlie Brown finished. "I'll be right back. Frieda, do you want to come with me?"

"Sure thing, honey!" And Charlie Brown and Frieda went to meet with Snoopy and make that important phone call. The rest of the kids wondered what they were up to.
