Chapter 11 - Eat dirt!

In Haliotis Island…

The bean scouts were just arguing about what happened this morning, from the squirrel scouts giving them some of their own taste of medicine.

"Do you by any chance know what Edward is planning on to do with the squirrel scouts?" asked Ping-Pong. "I don't know; everytime I ask him, he keeps saying 'don't worry about it'," Samson answered back. "And has anybody seen Chip and Skip?" asked Samson. Some of the bean scouts that were in the group with Samson just shook their head.

"I just can't wait to see what's going to happen," said Chuck, the pig. Then there was Chip and Skip walking toward the bean scouts. "There they are!" exclaimed by Dave. The bean scouts got up walking toward Chip and Skip. "So what's going on Chip and Skip? What's Edward going to do? What did he want from you two? What is he going to do to the squirrel sc-" Samson was paused, by Chip placing his hand on Samson's mouth. Chip slowly shushes him. "Don't talk too loud… they might here us," said Chip. "Follow us," said Skip.

Chip and Skip turns around and walks back into the woods where they came from, along with the bean scouts following. "Clam… I have a bad feeling about this," said Raj, following Chip and Skip as well. Then Chip and Skip stopped at some bushes, as soon as they have gotten closer to them, with their hands on top of the bush. Then the bean scouts followed and did the same thing. There they saw the squirrel scouts holding coconuts ready to throw them at somebody; they were looking like some guardians of some palace.

"So this must be their little territory," whispered Raj.

"Yeah… they've been there all day," said Chip.

"WHO'S THERE!?"

This led the bean scouts to duck, not to be seen behind the bushes; along with the sound of crumbling leafs following. Meanwhile, Toodie the gray squirrel was just walking toward the bean scouts direction and looks around. "Something wrong Toodie?" asked Almondine the owl. "I could've sworn I heard some voices," said Toodie, staring at the area suspiciously. "Do you think maybe that the bean scouts are here somewhere, anywhere?" asked Almondine.

"Psh! Yeah right!" Gretchen joins in, walking toward them. "They wouldn't have the guts to come anywhere near our turf," said Gretchen, smirking evilly. "They had the guts on what they did yesterday," said Nina, jumping in the conversation as well. "Well they just got lucky," said Gretchen, closely sounding a little frustrated, "They're not going to do it again, that's for sure." Gretchen walks off, being on the look out, at the front. The squirrel scouts walks away to clear the coast for the bean scouts to peek their heads back out again. "Whew! That was a close one right Chip… Chip?" Raj and the rest of the bean scouts look around and didn't see Chip around at all.

"Hey Skip, where's your brother?" asked Raj.

"Uhh," Skip places his index finger on his chin, drooling a bit, "I think he went to go see Edward."

"Hey, isn't that Edward up there?" asked Leonard, from the four Lemming brothers, pointing to a tree branch from a tree across them. Edward was just hiding himself in the dark, to stay invisible, so no squirrel scouts would see him, as he stares at the girls.

"hehehe," Edward chuckles in a evil way and then thinks to himself, 'Everything is going exactly according to plan.'

Then Edward was holding up a coconut. Next, He began looking around to find a good target to throw it at, just to get the squirrel scouts' attention and distraction. He wanted to throw it at one of the squirrel scouts; but then he saw a campfire placed at a center of a small group of squirrel scouts sitting near it. This gave him another idea, which he made an evil smirked on his face.

A second later, he threw the coconut, flying into the flames. Afterwards, it hit the firewood. This brought the group of squirrel scouts' attention, examining on the coconut, being thrown into the flames. Then the coconut, in such a hot temperature of the campfire, explodes like popcorn, and juices and inners splattered on some of the squirrel scouts. Some squirrel scouts sprung onto their feet, looking around to see who it was, that did that, and some looked at their own squirrel scout uniform seeing it wet and sticky from the moistened hot coconut.

"Who threw that?!" asked by Gretchen the alligator, approaching to the covered juice squirrel scouts.

"I threw it!" exclaimed by Edward, giving him the girls' attention.

"It's Edward!" exclaimed by Suzie the purple-gray poodle with black hair. Nothing else was said; they immediately held their coconuts in position of ready to throw. Next, they started throwing coconuts at Edward on the tree. Edward avoids himself from getting hit though; He slid down the tree and takes off running as soon as he lands on his feet. The squirrel scouts followed him, still throwing coconuts at him; but he manages to dodge them. Nina, the giraffe, on the other hand was the last squirrel scout standing there; she shook her head, seeing this as no big deal. So she ran along with the squirrel scouts, but didn't carry or pick up any of the coconuts.

Meanwhile, the bean scouts had shock looks on their faces, which they were still hidden behind the bushes.

"Oh no, Edward is a goner," said Samson, sounding worried and frightened. "W-w-we got to help him," said nervous Dave. Dave was first, ready to walk out the bushes, to go to the squirrel scouts and Edward's direction; then all of the sudden Skip stops him and shakes his head.

"No," Skip said, grasping his hand on Dave's wrist, "Edward said don't help him… wait here." Then Skip lets go of his wrist and turns around and starts running to whatever he's trying to go to.

"What is Skip up to now?" asked Raj.

"I don't know," replied Samson.

Meanwhile, Edward was still running from the squirrel scouts. Then he saw two tall, twin trees, along with bushes, which it's dark, which he was about to pass it. 'That's where Chip and Skip should be.'

As soon as he got closer, he yells, "Now! Do it now!"

He passes the twin trees along with the squirrel scouts, to the left.

"Skip hasn't showed up yet," said hidden Chip. "He needs to hurry up!" exclaimed Edward passing the twin trees again, to the right.

"Sorry I'm late," said Skip, approaching to his twin brother, which he's hiding himself behind the large bushes.

"Skip is here now," said Chip.

"Ok do it now!" exclaimed Edward, passing the twin trees again, to the left, with the squirrel scouts still chasing him.

"Give us a sec," Skip said, as he takes Chip's hand and they both closed their eyes.

"Hurry!" exclaimed Edward, sounding like he can't run away from the squirrel scouts much longer; and he passes the twin trees again, to the right. Then Gretchen on the other hand, throws a coconut a little high in the air for perfect target. Then the flying coconut rains down to the top of Edward's head and…

BUMP!

"OW!" Edward yelled in pain; but once the coconut flies again, after bouncing on top of his head, he manages to catch it. He didn't notice about his hands firmly grasp onto the coconut for one second, until he opened his eyes.

"You're getting it now," Edward thought to himself, which he was taunting to Gretchen. Then once he passed the twin trees again, to the left, he immediately turns around in quick agility.

"You can have this back!"

After he said that, he swung his arm and throws the coconut, compelling it with great force. The coconut flew real fast, and it was turning into a flammable coconut. Then Gretchen on the other hand, realized that the flying coconut was coming to her; which she was still running. She tried to stop to give time to dodge, but it was too late.

BAM!!

"Oooh!!"

Once the coconut hit Gretchen's chest, it sent her flying and sliding onto the sandy path. The squirrel scouts gasped at this, from what just happen to Gretchen once again. "Oooh.." the squirrel scouts expressed, seeing how painful that had to be.

"That's payback for throwing it at me this morning, alligator!" Edward exclaimed, waving his now bald up fist.

Then Gretchen on the other hand, gets up real quick with her face turning completely red, showing how much Edward has angered her. She threw the coconut back real hard in great speed. But since she was too anger to aim really straight, he was manage enough to dodge it barely.

"HAH! You miss…. Ahh!!" Edward screamed, as the squirrel scouts threw all of their coconuts at him. And then the coconuts were completely covering him. "You think it's funny now Edward?" asked by Toodie the squirrel. The squirrel scouts laughed at Edward, seeing this as a defeat to him. Gretchen on the hand was crackling her knuckles walking up to the pile of coconuts, ready to pound Edward senseless. Then all of the sudden…

"Hey what's that?" asked by Honey the bear. She was pointing at a direction of something moving. This led the squirrel scouts to turn their attentions to Honey, to see what she was pointing to. Then the squirrel scouts saw something crawling on the ground, coming toward Gretchen. Then they started seeing the mysterious crawling thingy, moistening and piling up with a lot of mud. The squirrel scouts turn their confuse face into a frightening face, as it was getting big.

"G-G-Gretchen! Look Out!!" yelled by Nina. Gretchen turned around and saw what Nina was pointing at. So she turned to her right and saw a huge pile of mud. This made her eyes open widely in shock, completely examining on it.

"What in the- AAAAHH!!" Gretchen screamed, as a lot of the crummy nasty spoiled mud covers her. This led the rest of the girls screaming sounding real grossed out, as they watch Gretchen getting covered.

"What in the world is that- AAAAAHHH!!" Before Nina completed her sentence, the scummy old mud, which appeared out of nowhere, covers her along with the rest of the group of squirrel scouts. All of the squirrel scouts screamed in horror, as more dirt kept covering them.

Meanwhile Chip and Skip, just let go of each other's hands and reopens their eyes. Then all the mud and dirt, which was controlled by Chip and Skip, stopped wiggling and moving around. This is left with the squirrel scouts completely covered in filth. You can't even see their face or anything else, but their eyes.

Meanwhile, Edward was just punching through the pile of coconuts on top of him. He then raises both of his hands and then placed them on the pile and lifts himself up out of the pile of coconuts. As soon as he got completely out of the coconuts, he brushes the dust out of his uniform with both of his hands. Afterwards, he took one good look at the squirrel scouts, which they were standing there still covered with wet rusty dirt.

Edward started giggling with an evil grin on his face.

"Well well…" This brought the entire dirty squirrel scouts' attention. "I guess you was right, spa isn't so bad."

Meanwhile, Chip and Skip were stepping out of the bushes from where they were hiding. Edward on the other hand steps up to the group of squirrel scouts, which they were still standing there. "Consider you being covered in filth, it's the bean scout's specialty especially…" Edward moves his eyes left and right and places his hand on the side of his mouth, "BEAN SCOUT'S SNOT!"

The girls immediately open their eyes wider. Then they turned their heads to Chip and Skip's direction, seeing them just now covering one of the holes of their noses. And then what they did that really grossed them out was that Chip and Skip blew a snot bubble out of their opening nose. Then when the bubble popped, a second later…

"AAAHHHHH!!"

The squirrel scouts screamed out, feeling really grossed out from what they are covered within. Then they started moving; but they was realizing, it was very hard to move.

"Gah…" Gretchen could barely say anything. She felt as if she was going to hurl, especially that some dirt already went crawling in her mouth. Even though thinking about Edward's joke, which they still think it's serious, about the snot was just so nasty.

"I can… barely… move," said Nina, barely able to speak, considering how hard this was to move around.

"The horror… the horror," said Amber the rabbit, sounding weak as well from using as much strength she has to walk.

Edward was watching and laughing as they struggled walking, which they were walking slowly. On the contrary Edward made up the part about them being covered in snot, he just wanted to watch how they're humiliated to this. The squirrel scouts on the other hand was trying to get to the water at shores. Meanwhile, the rest of the bean scouts were just showing up with coconuts on their hands.

"We're sorry Edward, but as a bean…"

Dave didn't complete his sentence as he takes one good look at the messy squirrel scouts, which they were still struggling walking. This led him and the rest of the gang to drop their coconuts, with shock looks on their face.

"Take a good look at the squirrel scouts now."

Edward said, pointing the walking mud. This prompt the bean scouts to lightly snicker, and burst out with a laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

The squirrel scouts on the other hand kept walking to shores, but some of them fell and ended up crawling instead. They felt like they were in a heavy custom of sumo, where it's too hard to get up but only can stand. "Wow, they look like walking zombies," joked Samson. They looked at him for one second, which Samson began to feel like they were going to be mad at him like last time; but then they burst out laughing louder. "You know what, they do look like walking zombies," said Dave, still laughing.

"Well maybe they should rename their camp to The Graveyard," Edward joked, prompting the bean scouts to laugh some more.

"Then let's start calling them the dirty squirrel scouts," said Dave. "Or maybe zombies." Samson added.

The squirrel scouts on the other hand, never felt so humiliated like this and this maybe going to be something that they're never going to forget. More squirrel scouts kept falling and ended up having to crawl.

"If this don't… come off of me the next ten seconds… I think I'm gonna be sick," said Almondine the owl.

"We're… almost… there…" Suzie the poodle struggled. But Suzie were only seeing things and she just wanted a drink of water, thinking that they're really close, considered how tired she is for being covered in this hot filth, and that she had to make her way into the water carrying herself, holding a lot of weight. So on the contrary, they're 10 feet away, getting closer. The bean scouts was standing there, steady laughing at the squirrel scouts; as they kept watching the torturing squirrel scouts. This was thanks to Chip and Skip mustering them with their Scum; which it's their family tradition, since they're dung beetles. Clam and Raj on the other hand, didn't even laugh at all; they were beginning to feel sorry for the squirrel scouts, for this.

"OH MY GOODNESS!"

The bean scouts immediately stopped laughing. Then when they turned their heads around from where did that comment come from, they saw the tall squirrel scout deer as known as Jane Doe.

"What in the world happen to my dear squirrelies!?" Denmother Doe spoke, covering her mouth with both of her hands, seeing what she cannot believe. Then there was Slinkman and Lumpus walking up toward; and they made shock faces as well, when they saw the squirrel scouts, looking like as if they were dead. The squirrel scouts weren't walking anymore, neither were they were crawling. They were lying there panting.

"What in Davy Jones happen to the squirrel scouts!?" asked Mr. Lumpus, looking at this very puzzling. Slinkman on the other hand, then stared at the twin dung beetles; which he may recognize this case of situation.

"Chip…? Skip…? Did you have something to do with this?" asked Slinkman, making his face drop into a frown and crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Um… Uhh… Uhh…" Chip and Skip were breaking out with nervous sweat and tried to find words to say, "EDWARD DID IT! HE PLANNED IT!" The dung beetles said in unison and pointed at Edward, feeling much of a coward of ratting Edward out. Edward on the other hand had his eyes wide open, and then turns his face into a angry face, where he began to growl.

"Oh thanks a lot! Such good friends you guys are!"

"Uh… you welcome," said Skip, with him and Chip smiling, taking this as a compliment. But Edward was being sarcasm.

"I can't believe it… I am very disappointed in you three," said Slinkman, bowing his head down and shaking it left and right, "Especially you Edward."

"ME? The squirrel scouts threw coconuts at us this morning and Gretchen-" "I doesn't matter Edward," Slinkman cuts Edward off, "The problem is, that you fought back and what would that solve?"

"But-"

"Just forget it… just go to the campfire beans," said Slinkman, pointing out to the direction of the campfire spot. "Now wait just a minute Slinkman," Lumpus interrupted, as he placed his hands on his sides. "Since the twin tall leeches and the duck beaver were responsible for this, all of you bean scouts get a demerit! And another thing is, you all have to help the squirrel scouts like maids would, C-L-E-A-N," said Lumpus, spelling the word 'clean' out, using his five fingers, "Pronto!"

The bean scouts started yelling and begging, showing this reaction that they most definitely do not want to help the squirrel scouts at all. "NOW!!" Lumpus yelled, pointing to the squirrel scouts direction, admonishing them to go help the squirrel scouts. They all frowned and walked to shores with their heads down.

"Stupid moose," Edward muttered. "I heard that!" Lumpus exclaimed. Ms. Doe on the other hand smiled at this. "Oh that's very nice of your bean scouts to help my little squirrel scouts. Thank you Lumpus!" "Oh!" Lumpus swings his wrist forward, "It was nothing- JANE DOE!" He yelled out her name, because of her squeezing. Then he started to realize that she was hugging him. This made his whole body to function out of control, as it started to heat. 'S-S-She's HUGGING me!' Lumpus quickly thought to himself. He was about to explode from this love thing he has for her, but she let go of him and started staring at him nervously. "Lumpus… are you ok?" He only nodded too fast, and then all of the sudden…

SPLASH!!

"AHH-BLOO-BLOO-BLAH-HUH-WHA!? Cold water… SLINKMAN!!"

Lumpus, which he's now all wet, bald his fists up, with his arms stiffed straight vertical, and growls at Slinkman. "Sorry sir, it's just that we couldn't face that firework reaction again; besides, don't you think that this isn't probably the good time?" Slinkman asked, still holding the bucket that he uses to pour water on him. Meanwhile, the bean scouts were walking toward the squirrel scouts; some already helped picking them up.

"Well… at least we still can have laughs about before, hehe," Samson laughed nervously, as he was walking toward one of the squirrel scouts, Almondine.

"Shut up Samson," Edward rejoined. On one hand he's mad; on the other hand, he's proud, proud of torturing the squirrel scouts as like a defeat in some sort of water balloon fight.
