Author's Comment: First time I got my first chapter deleted by accident, but it was a good thing I was able to have a back up file…something like that… and I was closely drain out of ideas.

Chapter 3 – The Arrival

All of the bean scouts were in a single file line and the squirrel scouts were in a single file line. They were at the Prickly Pines Bridge, of where the boat was going to make its rivalry.

"There it is!" Slinkman shouted out loud. The whole crew look, with the surprise looks in their face. As soon as the boat got real close, Nina was the closest, the big ship touched Nina's nostrils. And then it put a little force, pushing her head back. And then the boat stopped and one second later, the boat roared with a loud horn. It led the results of Nina wearing her glasses crooked and her red hair was sticking out straight and messy.

Afterwards, the three jelly cabin looked at the big boat and said in unison, "Ooooh." Then everybody else followed, surprisingly expressing the same way. On each side of the boat's rubber iron hull was the color silver in front of it and slowly fades into black at the end, at the back of the boat. The top edges of the boat was black, but at the bottom was blue. And there was a large strong propeller under the boat.

"Slinkman buddy!" shouted by an unknown person. "Who said that?" asked Lazlo. Slinkman only smiled. "Jelly beans, everybody, I would like to introduce to you an old friend of mine... Lenny," said Slinkman. Then a tall door, looking like a sidewalk except it's not concrete, but wood, opens. Everyone stared at this pilot. It was a blue wolf, wearing some brown overalls and a white shirt, with black glasses, and a white hat. And his boots were light brown, with a somewhat square shape at the end, and there were no laces. Miss Mucus the warthog, on the other hand, was not surprise about seeing him.

"Oh… it's you!" Miss Mucus said, crossing her arms. She has also seen him before. His jaw dropped after squinting his eyes through his shades and couldn't believe who he's seeing.

"Let's all get going girls," said Jane Doe, ordering the squirrel scouts to walk in the boat. As soon as they walked in, they made various astounding expressions, they were astonished from what's inside. Then the bean scouts went inside of the boat and Slinkman was last to walk in, until he was stopped when Lenny grabs his shirt, pulling him close to him.

"Slinkman, what is that fat butt-armpit warthog doing here?" whispered Lenny, sounding nowhere surprise about her being here. "Um, she works at Acorn Flats, Lenny. She's the scoutmaster's assistance and staff." Slinkman explained. "Oh great, just great…" Lenny looked at the warthog walking with the squirrel scout mistress before looking back at Slinkman. "Well… keep her out of my sight," said Lenny letting go of his shirt. Slinkman then brushes the dust of his shirt, on his chest, with his hands. "You know… you two never got along, maybe you should now." "Me… her… get along? I think I'll pass. Anyways, let's go," said Lenny, placing his hand on Slinkman's back, guiding him in.

In the boat...

Lazlo, Clam, and Raj on the other hand was so happy and excited being inside of a boat so big. Inside were small buildings, containing many rooms that they can sleep in; it wasn't enough to have all of them to have one time each, but it can contain at least three people each. And also this building had a big room where everyone can have a ball, which the bean & squirrel scouts would have one, later on. Lenny set up a big room for the campers to play a little game of dodge ball as well. Outside it had a swimming pool that can only contain ten people at maximum. Clam was already falling in love with the swimming pool.

"This is so awesome," Lazlo said, astonished by this big ship. "I want to live here," Raj said, spinning around. Clam only said, "SWIMMING!" He was about to run into the pool, but Lazlo stops him. "Whoa! Hold on there, Clam; we need to get our swimming suit on."

Meanwhile Samson was just running from out of a room. "Hey guys, I found something cool!" Samson exclaimed, sounding excited. "What did you find? Your inhaler?" Edward said, folding his arms, and was backed up with a laugh by Chip & Skip, that is accompanying with him.

"Hey wait… we not suppose to laugh at this, were we Skip?"

"I don't know Chip, was it funny?"

"I don't know, wasn't it? I sort of didn't get it."

"But we still laugh for anything, Chip."

"I don't remember why we were laughing, Skip."

"We were laughing?"

Samson rolls his eyes and breaks the conversation between Chip and Skip. "Um… yeah but that's not what I found; I found this huge Den with a big screen T.V. and videogames." Edward makes his eyes widened. "Some of the bean scouts are going in there to play with it, until we settle ourselves in." "Count me in." Edward said sounding real excited about it. "Lazlo, would you guys like to come?" asked Samson. "Yeah…" Skip said right after Samson asked him.

"Well uh… maybe later." Lazlo said, smiling. "Good! You might ruin the fun anyways. Matter of fact, I don't see if you even know what a video game is." Edward joked, walking off. "Now we're supposed to laugh." Skip said, as him and his twin brother prompts Edward's comment with a laugh. Then yet again, Clam said "Swimming!"

"Wait Clam, we got to hear the further announces before we do anything." Lazlo said. Meanwhile, the squirrel scouts were looking around on the other side of the boat. "This place isn't so bad." Patsy said, astonished. "Yeah, it would've been better if the bean scouts weren't with us." Gretchen said, placing both of her hands on her hips. "Hey girls!" Amber the rabbit shouted, walking toward Patsy and her two companions, Nina and Gretchen.

"Hey Amber!" Nina said, waving at her. "You got to check this one room out, they got a fabulous make up room." "Oh! I want to see!" Nina said, as Amber walks off and Nina follows her. "Save some fun for us!" Patsy said. "I'm going to see if there's anything to eat." Gretchen said, walking off. She only said that just to get some space. "Hope its not Edward you looking for or EVEN Clam, perhaps." Patsy muttered to herself, smiling and giggled. Then she sighs. "I guess I'll go see what Lazlo is doing." Patsy said, as she went to go look for Lazlo and his two best friends.

Meanwhile, Lumpus and Slinkman was walking to his room that Lenny assigned for them, while Slinkman was carrying the stuff behind him. Then Lumpus stopped, where Slinkman bumps into him. "Ah! Watch it!" Lumpus said, frowning at Slinkman. "Sorry sir… c-c-could you l-lend me… a hand here sir?" Slinkman asked, struggling to carry both of their stuff and braking out with sweats.

Lumpus wasn't paying any attention to Slinkman's request; he was looking at Denmother Jane Doe, talking with Miss Mucus. "Oh Ms. Doe…" said Lumpus, admiring her and started imagining her holding hands with him, sitting up a hill, at a peaceful land with a music 'Morning mood' played in the background of his little fantasy. Then it stopped at the time when he heard things collapsing on the floor. And when he turned around, he saw Slinkman lying on the floor panting.

"Slinkman, you lazy slug, can't you carry anything?" Lumpus asked, frowning at him again, and putting his hands on his side. "Sorry sir, I asked for your help." Slinkman stated, while Lumpus turned to see Ms. Doe, but she and Miss Mucus were nowhere in sight. Then he turns back around to Slinkman, "Whatever." He grabbed his bag and carries it, while Slinkman gets up and picks up his own bag, as they both head to their rooms.

After ten minutes, the squirrel and bean scouts were gathered up in front of the boat for the instructions and the rules to be laid down, before they go anywhere. It didn't last very long though. And they weren't paying much attention, because for one, the bean scouts wanted to go play the game in the den and swimming. And because the squirrel scouts wanted to go do make up, in the hair salaam as well, and play dodge ball with the bean scouts to see who's tough enough. They had the feeling that nothing could go wrong.
