"Ok, phase 1 complete. Everybody knows to pretend to be asleep and when Chad comes to them, they'll act their butts off and fool him. Hey, Kelsi, do you have the bugs?" Sharpay asked.
"Yeah, right here, I put them in this bucket from your car so it looks more real," she replied.
"Good, this'll teach him to mess with me and call me weird," Sharpay said.
"So, do you guys have the bugs?" Troy asked as he walked up. "We've got the tent door open enough to squeeze through so, we're ready whenever you guys are ready."
"Jason, do you have that recording ready?" Sharpay asked.
"Yeah, it actually sounds life like too, listen," Jason said as he played the recording.
"Why do you have all this stuff anyways Shar?" Troy asked wondering why she had brought a tape recorder, a tape player with little speakers you could clip on to clothing, and a bunch of gummy bugs.
"Well, the bugs were for you guys to like eat later, and the tape recorder was for me to record the sounds of out here, like I normally do everytime, so I can listen to it later when I'm at home or something, and the player was to make sure that I didn't mess up the recording," she explained.
"Oh, I see," Kelsi and the boys nodded.
"Ok, let's put this plan into action," Sharpay said ready to get Chad back. "Troy, you clip the speakers to his hood (Chad had worn a sweatshirt to sleep in making it much easier to get him back) that way the noises will be behind him, after that, Kelsi and I will start throwing these bugs everywhere. Jason, you keep watch, make sure he doesn't wake up while Troy puts the speakers in his hood, and help us throw these bugs everywhere. Once we get in there we can't really talk anymore or we might wake him up. Are we ready?"
"Yeah," the others all whispered.
"Ok, now beginning phase 2, let's go," she said.
It couldn't have been more perfect. Chad was sleeping like a baby. Troy turned the volume on full blast and put it in the corner of the room. They recorded about 15 minutes of normal noises in the woods, and then, Jason and Troy would start to howl and snarl like wolves (I'm assuming that people could mimic the noises that wolves make). Meanwhile, Sharpay, Kelsi, and Jason were puttin bugs everywhere. They threw about 15 in his hair alone. They scattered the rest of the bugs everywhere else, like in his sleeping bag, on his clothes, and anywhere else they could find. It was obvious that Sharpay had brought a lot of the bugs. They finished in 10 minutes and went and sat in Troy's room waiting to hear Chad wake up to the howling of the wolves.
"Ok, you guys. The wolf howls should start in 1 minute, so you might want to cover your ears. I've heard Chad scream before, and it's not the quietest things," Troy said.
They were all anxious as to what Chad would do when he woke up. They opened to door of Troy's room to watch. They could faintly hear the wolf noises and knew that if they could hear them, Chad had to be able to hear them.
"WOLVES! WAKE UP EVERYBODY!"Chad scream. "AHHHH, THERE'S BUGS EVERYWHERE, TOO."
"Phase 3 starts now," Sharpay said as everybody moved to go continue with the plan. Troy and Sharpay were supposed to sit in Troy's room while Jason and Kelsi ran outside to Chad's room from the outside to see pretend to wonder what was wrong. Troy and Sharpay laid down in Troy's room and pretended that they had just been asleep after talking for awhile, to add to the act.
"Chad, what's wrong?" Kelsi asked putting on the sweetest voice.
"What the HECK are you guys doing outside?" He scream at them. "Get in here now, Chad said opening the door to his tent and dragging them inside. But what he'd forgotten for the moment, was the bugs.
"Hey, what is this thing in your hair Chad, and what's going on with you?" Jason asked.
"Dude, get it out, get it out," Chad said while swatting his hair. And about 10 of the bugs fell out.
Kelsi scream, "Ahhhh, it's a tarantula." Troy had told her before hand that Chad was afraid of spiders and she intended to use that to her advantage. Last week, before they decided to go camping, Chad had prank called her and got her in trouble with her parents who thought that she was goofing off with the phone.
"WHAT, I HATE tarantulas!" and with that, Chad ran out of his room and into the girls room in the very center of the tent. Gabriella and Taylor had been pretending to sleep when Troy and Sharpay told them about the plan earlier that night. "Gaaabi, Taaaylooorrr, wake up," he yelled at them, beginning to shake them like crazy as Jason and Kelsi followed him trying to hold in their laughter.
Next he ran over to Ryan's room. "Ryan, Sharpay, wake up!" he yelled and opened the door to Ryan's room. "Ryan where's Sharpay? Oh no, I bet they got her. She's probably wolf food by now," Chad said looking frightened and thinking she was dead. "Troy, wake up!" he said running to Troy's room. By now, everybody was in the big room waiting for Troy and Sharpay to get in there so they could end this prank. He opened up the door to Troy's room seeing Troy and Sharpay sitting up. "SHARPAY! you're alive! I thought that you were wolf food," he said jumping to go hug her. "I'm so sorry that I called you weird and everything!" he said while hugging her.
"And when did you call me weird?" she asked in her best ice queen voice.
"Um, well, you see, earlier I might've called you that on accident, but this isn't the time to think of that. We could very well be eaten alive by wolves and bugs at this very moment," Chad said feeling guilty now.
"Well, I do have a can of bug spray for the bugs, but I don't think that I should give it to you," Sharpay said.
"What, why not. I'm sorry for calling you weird but are you really going to let us get eaten by these bugs? Please just tell me why you won't give me the bug spray," he said practically begging and pulling her out into the girls' room so she could get the bug spray for him.
"Because, then you wouldn't be able to eat them," she replied simply. Troy had now run out to the girls' rom and was now laughing by the way his best friend was so desperate for a can of bug spray that he was to use on gummi bugs.
"Why the heck would you eat bugs? You know what maybe you are weird Sharpay. What're you laughing at Troy?" Chad said dissappointed in his friend for laughing during such a serious time.
"Can I tell him Shar?" Troy asked her.
"Yeah, go ahead or I will," she replied.
"What, tell me what?" Chad asked a little confused as to what they could possibly tell him when they were about to get eaten.
"Tell you that, you've just suffered our revenge on you for splashing us today, making fun of me and Jason, and calling Shar weird," Troy said not believing the look on Chad's face which was a mix of confusion and shock.
"Wait, so you're telling me that this whole thing was a prank? I don't get it, I heard wolves from my room and those bugs were everywhere," Chad said obviously confused.
"Well, you have Troy and Jason to thank for the wolves. If you knew anything about nature, you'd know that those wolves didn't sound anything like real ones-" Sharpay said but was cut off by Troy and Jason yelling "hey." "Relax guys, they sounded real enough to fool Chad, so you did a pretty good job. And the bugs, were actually for everybody to eat, but we thought that this was a much better use for them."
"Sharpay, remind me to never get on your bad side again. If this is what you do with a limited amount of resources, I'd hate to know what you'd do to someone back at home," Chad said now obviously afraid of Sharpay.
"You have no idea," she said with a grin. "So do you want us to help you clean up all of the bugs now, or should we do that in the morning?"
"Let's do that in the morning," he stated now feeling stupid.
"I have an idea, why don't everybody sleep in here tonight? That way we can protect widdle Chad from the big scary bugs," Kelsi said while laughing.
"So who exactly knew about this?" Chad asked.
"Oh, pretty much everybody," Taylor said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yep, I can't believe that you scream like a little girl," Gabi said laughing.
"I know. If only you'd been able to see the look on your face," Jason added joining Gabi in laughing.
"Ok, you guys have got to admit that that was a cruel prank. Not only did you guys put bugs all over my room, but you also made me think that I was going to be eaten by wolves," Chad said acting like it was hard to believe any of this.
"You need to just let it go Chad. Let's just get all of our stuff and go to bed. We've already lost a couple of hours of sleep due to your gullible-ness," Sharpay said wanting to finally go to sleep, but proud of what she had done to that spoiled jerk.
Everybody went to get their sleeping bags to put in the big room in the center and all ended up falling asleep right away.
