"No! Stop. Ow!" Camille shrieked as Stephanie, Jo, Riley, and Rhuben stood over her, tugging at the legs of her jeans. With a few more grunts from the other girls, Camille's skinny jeans were stripped from her legs.

"God, that hurts." Camille cried, although she burst out into laughter as he friend were sent to the floor with the extra pull they had enforced on Camille's jeans. Her face started to turn red as she continued to laugh. "This is too much. I can't do this." Her breasts were abused until they were flattened. Molested, that's what.

"This is rape!" She called, still laughing hysterically, although allowing the torture to continue. "Gender – no, identity rape!"

"Oh come on 'Mille," Rhuben held up the over-sized basketball jersey that she was holding onto and whipped it around. "All of us girls are sacrificing some of our dignity to go along with Jo's plan. Unfortunately, you just happen to get the short end of the stick on this one."

"Yeah, don't make us tell-"Stephanie abruptly stopped talking and then looked at the other girls with wide eyes. They just looked back at her, confused, and then Stephanie looked over at Camille again. "Wait, which of the guys do you even like?"

"I don't know." Camille's laughter finally subsided to low chuckles as she slipped the jersey over her head, over the tank top she had on. "I haven't really thought about it. I'm just tired of the guys treating us like guys." She pulled her hair up into a ponytail. "And the only reason I'm going along with it is because of the fact that I'm tired of being called a 'dude' and because this is the acting role of a lifetime." She placed her hands on her hips. "If I can't pull this off, then I can't call myself an actress."

"Let me just tell you 'Mille, you have a great chance of pulling this off." Riley stated as she shook her head, looking over her handiwork.

Jo beamed and clasped her hands together gleefully. "I'm a genius!" She declared.

Glancing down, Camille had to admit that with the bandages wrapped around her torso, she was a straight line down her front side. Not a bump in sight on her chest, to her acute displeasure. She had a small waist, but heck if you could see that through the baggy jersey. And her hips? And her toned thighs and calves? Gone, beneath shorts and invisible with the pair of ratty sweats she had on.

"Okay, run through the plan for me again. My brain is freezing up like a bad PC," Camille murmured as she turned to the mirror, taking the hat that Stephanie held out to her and slipped it on over her hair.

Katie, observing the girls from across the room, started, "We're headed over to the Palm Woods, and on the way there, we watch how guys walk and act around each other so you can really get into the part you're going to play."

"Then," Jo picked up the plan, "You are going to 'check into' the Palm Woods as Cam Robertson, the guys are so stupid they won't even notice the fact that your names are so similar. Look like a boy. Become a boy, Camille."

"That way if there are stragglers, you won't look out of place. So, you keep your head down, your hips from swaying, your left leg crippled while you walk to look like you got swag, and head for the guys." Stephanie concluded.

"And one last piece of advice," Riley added, lifting a finger. "Don't do that girlish shriek you do whenever something scares you."

"I don't do a girlish shriek," Camille replied, as she rolled her eyes.

"Oh and you may want to deepen your voice a little," Katie added. "I mean, the guys are dumb, but not that dumb."

"Well, Dak and WayneWayne are in on this too, so you shouldn't have to worry about them," Jo stated as she bit her thumbnail. "Oh, I'm getting nervous. We may want to head over before one of us chickens out."

"Any last pieces of advice?" Camille asked, tucking her hair underneath her hat.

"Yeah," Stephanie nodded. "Blend in as best as you can."

A/N: And now, we have Camille dressed as a guy, things will definitely get weird from now on. I know it's' a really short chapter, but I couldn't really think of anything else that got to the point, and my chapters to this story are as long/short as I think they need to be. I hope you enjoyed the chapter with the girls' bonding. Katie's chapter is next and I'll update again soon.
