Chapter 35- The Other Side
"Mia please be nice to Kendra. She's had a tough time here at camp," pleaded Alyssa.
"And you think I haven't had a hard time. I get kicked out of my last camp just because I wanted to go out looking for some demon ass to kick. Then I come here and everyone one's so girly, girly and bubbly. Ewww!" yelled Mia in an outburst.
"Yeah it is kind of gross. No one can be that bubbly, it seems all fake to me," agreed Kendra.
An intrigued Mia asked, "What are those girls like Kendra?"
"They're… different to us," answered Kendra rather quickly trying to avoid the topic.
Mia still not satisfied with Kendra's answer asked, "What do you mean different?"
"Their nothing special Mia, you wouldn't like them anyways," said Alyssa as she butted into the conversation.
Shocked by Alyssa butting in like that Mia questioned her, "Excuse me? How would you know that I wouldn't like them?"
"Alyssa knows this because…" Kat started to explain but was interrupted.
Alyssa took control of the conversation and started to explain everything, "Thanks Kat but I think I can speak for myself. I know this because those girls aren't like you and me. They think their 'bad girls' going around behind the council's back and getting into trouble."
Mia was catching on to the situation with Buffy and Faith but had more questions to ask, "So they're try hards then?"
"Yeah that's what they are," Kendra added trying to reassure Alyssa and Kat that she was no longer friends with them.
Mia still confused slightly continued asking more questions, "But you were just with them? You were just hanging out with the 'try hards.'"
"Yeah but I could tell what they were like before I went off to hang with them. I had a plan all along to come back to Kat and Alyssa," replied Kendra quickly before anyone else could say a word about it.
Surprised by what Kendra had just said Kat had some doubt she was telling the truth, "Oh really?"
"Yeah," responded Kendra as she stuck her tongue out at Kat.
"Well anyways, at least Kendra is back and we're bigger than ever. Four against two," said Alyssa who was trying to the move the conversation along.
"What about us?" asked a little potential in a whinny voice tugging on Alyssa's leg.
With the sudden appearance of the little ones it was a shock to Alyssa that one had tugged on her leg. "What's the little twert doing out of the cabin? Kat take Claudia and Libby back to our cabin where Rose should be."
"Oh my God. Those little things are really annoying." said Kat in an annoyed voice.
Mia still wasn't finished with her questions and asked, "Then why are we looking after them? We could always not look after them."
"What do you think we are doing?" said Kat in an immature.
"You see Mia; we aren't exactly looking after them. We give them their work and tell them not to come out until we tell them to, but it looks like we're looking after them too," explained Kendra in the simplest way.
Mia liked the sound of the plan and commented, "Smart idea girls."
"Of course it was a smart idea we came up with it and that's why the council likes us. Kat and I have been the perfect role model for all the potentials and the council think we are like the goody, goody potential girls but we're really not," Alyssa further explained.
"It's all an act. Now you two can join us in our mission," said Kat.
"We're gonna be the future Watchers!" yelled Alyssa in excitement.
"But we're Slayers," Mia added softly.
"Who said we couldn't be Slayers and Watchers?" asked Kat.
"No one exactly. It's just never really been heard of before," explained Mia who thought it was a rather strange idea they had.
"Exactly!" exclaimed Alyssa ecstatically.
"And that's our secret mission," Kat explained.
"Now you both must decide where you stand. Are you part of this mission or not?" asked Alyssa anxious for Kendra and Mia to reply to the question.
Mia knew from the start of camp this year, these girls were gonna be her friends so she wanted in on the mission, "Yep I am. I'm here for the whole trip baby! All the way."
"I'm in," replied Kendra in a slower and softer voice.
"Are you sure? Before you left us for those girls. You better not leave us again," Kat threatened, wanting to make sure Kendra would be staying this time around.
"Kendra. We are giving you a second chance here," Alyssa pointed out.
"I finally figured it all out through my plan; it's my destiny to stick around with people like you. This is where I belong, with you guys. I'm in it for life!" replied Kendra with enthusiasm about what was to come of their future.
"Well that's settled then. Let's go back to the cabin and get our little potentials. We need to train them to be more like us," instructed Alyssa.
"I think we should go out onto the training field for some basic fighting moves," suggested Kat.
"But those girls are out there at the moment," added Mia.
Alyssa thought for a second, maybe Mia wasn't ready to face Buffy and Faith. "Your not afraid of them are you Mia?"
"No," answered Mia softly.
"Good," replied Alyssa hoping she meant what she said.
"Has anyone seen Jessica?" asked Kendra randomly.
An unfamiliar voice replied, "Yes I have. She's right here. This is your last warning Kendra. If you leave your potential alone for one more time you will fail camp this year."
"But how can I fail, there have been no tests?" asked Kendra in a confused, whiney voice.
"Now get out of my sight girls before I report the rest of you without your potentials," yelled Karen at the top of her lungs.
-Meanwhile at the main slayer camp council building-
"So this is what the girls have been up to all this time. I knew sometime they would slip up and reveal their plan. There's only one thing they forgot, we can hear and see everything they do now. Stupid potentials. When will they learn that we are always watching them?" commented Quentin in an evil sounding voice.
"This video camera system is bloody brilliant. We can see everyone and everything Travers. I think this is one your best ideas yet," replied Ethan Rayne with enthusiasm.
"Um excuse me sir, there's someone on the phone that needs to speak to you," interrupted a Watcher.
"Who is it Jaime?" asked Quentin.
"It's one of the mother's of a potential. Buffy Summer's mother," answered the Watcher Jaime.
"What does she want?" asked Quentin. He was interested in what Buffy's mother had to say.
"I don't know, you'll have to talk to her and find out," replied Jaime.
"Put her onto line 4 in my office. I'll head over there now. Thanks for informing me of the call," instructed Travers.
"I'll get straight onto putting her on line 4," said Jaime just before she left.
"Now Ethan I want you to go down stairs and check up on our guest and when you leave here make sure you lock the door behind you okay," ordered Travers.
"I'll make sure it's locked Sir," replied Ethan.
"Good because we don't want any unexpected guests visiting this room."
Quentin walked out of the room to go speak with Mrs Summers.
