CHAPTER#4:CAMP WHACK
(SO EVERYTHING WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN,THEY ALL HEADED TO ELK ISLAND FOR THEIR CAMPING WAS ONLY 7PM BUT IT WAS ALREADY GETTING TOO DARK. SID,STINKY,ARNOLD AND GERALD HAVE CAUGHT SOME FISH.)
SID: Guys we caught some fish.
RHONDA: But I already brought food.
ARNOLD:We didn't expect we'd catch too much fish, so after we saw our catch we thought of bringing it to you guys and enjoy them.
STINKY:Yeah and on account of Rhonda's food bein' all canned and all ... canned food upsets my stomach.
PHOEBE:You sure did catch too many.
GERALD:It was mostly Arnold and Stinky, they're really great fishers.
(THEY MAKE A FIRE AND COOKED THE FISH AND GATHER ROUND THE FIRE FOR DINNER)
SID: ... no one's ever seen how he looks like, but many people claim to hear him howling on a very dark night, much like tonight. More on the legend will be told by Gerald.
GERALD: Exactly a hundred and ten years years from today, when people were able to get to hillwood by ship. A group of sailors would always stop by before resuming their journey back to their island homeland almost 90 miles from hillwood to rest,to fix their ship that has endured perilous storms and to get some rest before heading home.
The sailors were done with their job and decided to go around hillwood before leaving the next day, morning came and the sailors noticed one of their friends was missing, it was Jonathan Troup. He was a very handsome young sailor, his light blonde hair made a beautiful contrast with his tanned skin. It ain't no surprise that he was popular with hillwood's ladies but one of the ladies in particular wanted to keep him, a beautiful blonde invited him over to her place and as soon as dinner was over he started feeling strange, he strated growing hair all over he was turning to a wolf!.
She intended to turn him into a cat but something went wrong with the potion she's put in his food, the villagers heard her screams and saw the wolf and chased him away. He managed to swim and take hiding on elk island ... and to this day, he shows up at midnight, when the clouds block the moonlight attacking every blonde woman he'll see to take his revenge.
HELGA: (TO PHOEBE)Still the keeper of urban legends, though I think he's losing his touch.
HAROLD: Looks like you could be a target Helga.
HELGA: Whatever,(YAWNS) why do I feel so sleepy? it's only 8.15.
LILA:Maybe because it's ever so dark in here.
PHOEBE:Actually it's because we're surrounded by so many trees that start producing carbon dioxide at night, which is why I made sure our tents were put on open ground away from the trees. Just make sure you don't find yourself sleeping under a tree at night. There have been reports of people dying as a result.
HELGA:Thanks for the knowledge Pheebs (GETS UP) Well goodnight everyone.
(ALL THE GIRLS FOLLOW HER AND GO TO SLEEP WHILE THE BOYS STAYED UP A BIT LONGER AND EVENTUALLY WENT TO SLEEP.
ALTHOUGH HELGA FELT REALLY SLEEPY SHE JUST COULDN'T GO TO SLEEP, IT WAS ALREADY 11.40PM AND SHE STARTED TO HEAR SOMETHING. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE WAS PLAYING THE HARMONICA.
SHE DECIDES TO CHECK IT OUT AND FINDS ARNOLD BY THE WATER.)
HELGA: I see you still play the harmonica.
ARNOLD:Helga! ... uh yeah ... I still play it.
HELGA: (SITS BESIDE HIM) You sound great.
ARNOLD: My voice?.
HELGA: (LAUGHS) No you lame brain, your harmonica playing.
ARNOLD: Oh (LAUGHS) Thanks.
HELGA: So how's life been treating ya?.
ARNOLD: Ok, I guess, how's life with you? How's your family?.
HELGA: It's alright, my family's still the same mess I've known since I was born. Except ever since Olga came home from college home didn't seem so bad. Bob's temper improved, Miriam is more in touch with the 'real world' now and I spend three quarters of the year in college away from home. Something I don't mind.
ARNOLD: That's good to hear ... you couldn't get any sleep?.
HELGA:No, weird cuz I usually sleep well outdoors.
(SHE REMEMBERS THE TIMES WHEN SHE SNUCK IN AND STAYED OVER ARNOLD'S HOUSE WHEN ONE OF THOSE MIS-HAPS HAPPEN WITHOUT HIM KNOWING AND LAUGHS TO HERSELF).
ARNOLD:What's so funny?.
HELGA: I just remembered something funny, what's it to you Bucko?.
(ARNOLD LOOKS AT HER AND SMILES)
HELGA: And what's with the smile footballhead? you're creeping me out.
ARNOLD:You haven't really changed much.
HELGA:I don't thnk any of us did (GETS UP) Well I'm off to get some shut-eye. See you in the morning Arnold.
ARNOLD: Goodnight Helga.
(AS HELGA APPROACHES THE GIRL'S CAMP GROUND SHE NOTICES THREE BODIES SNEAKING AROUND, SHE FIGURED THEY WERE THE GUYS TRYING TO PULL PRANKS ON THE GIRLS AND SHE DECIDES TO INTERVENE. SHE FINDS A FLASHLIGHTS NEAR ONE OF THE TENTS SHE HID BEHIND AND DECIDES TO USE IT).
HELGA:Whos' there?. (SHE SHINES THE LIGHT ON HIM)
WOLFGANG: argh!
HELGA:Wolfgang?.
(THE GIRLS SEE THEM AND START SCREAMING)
RHONDA: Aah! (STARTS THROWING THE EMPTY CANS)Go away!
(THE GIRLS DO THE SAME)
WOLFGANG:Argh! Let's get out of here!.
(THE GUYS COME TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG.)
PARK:What's going on?.
HELGA:Looks like Wolfgang and his 'gang' tried to pull a prank on us.
ARNOLD: Wolfgang? Helga are you alright?.
HELGA: Yeah I'm fine its the girls who you should be worried about.
RHONDA: We're fine, Ugh! I can't believe those goons tried to hurt us.
ARNOLD: We should take turns to stay up and watch.
PEAPOD: Or we could all go home and call it a day.
EVERYONE:Yeah ... he's right ... let's go.
EUGENE:But it's already past midnight.
GERALD:Eugene's right, let's stick to Arnold's plan we got a few hours and we could go home.
CURLY:Ok so who's gonna stay up and watch first?.
ARNOLD:I will, Gerald's after me and then Harold, Stinky,Sid,Eugene,Peapod,Park,Brainy,Lorenzo, all take half an hour each.
STINKY:Hey howcome only the guys get to stay up for watch?,
(ALL THE GIRLS GLARE AT HIM)
STINKY: (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Not that I mind.
RHONDA:Ok let's go to sleep already my skin's going to totally break if I don't get enough sleep.
(EVERYONE GOES BACK TO THEIR TENTS)
PHOEBE:Arnold seemed a little concerned when, you know ...
HELGA:It's only normal, he does that for everyone.
PHOEBE:No you're not getting my point ... this could a sign.
HELGA:Forget it Pheebs,I've seen those signs before ... look how we ended up.
