Adam was bored out of his mind as he sat in his dorm room. Portman was at the library
with Fulton working on their Music History project. So Adam had nothing to do but sign
on to the Ducks chat room. He reached under his bed and pulled out his laptop and
signed in hoping some of the team would be on. He was in luck; a few of the other ducks
were on.
"POORLILRICHBOY HAS ENTERED THE CHAT"
CptDucky: Hey Banksie what's up?
PoorLilRichBoy: Not much I was bored. U?
CptDucky: Same
Luvhim4eva: bored strikes again
Luvher4eva: me too
XGoalie33: I'm looking for Averman
LoneRoper: I'm with ya'll it's mighty dull round here
"MEANDEAN21 HAS ENTERED THE CHAT"
MEANDEAN21: Hey dudes and babes
Adam was just about to ask why Portman was playing online with the library computer
rather then helping Fulton, when he heard the familiar "you've got mail" message. He
clicked the in box and found an email from an address he didn't recognize. It was from a
MrsLawrence42 and he guessed it was from Star's mother. It was
"Adam,
I just found out this morning from Cole that you are seeing my daughter and the she
has been come quite close to the members of you team. Forgive the short notice I've been
out of touch with Star's life recently, but I would like to invite you and our friends to
Star's surprise birthday party tomorrow night. You should be back at school in plenty of
time for curfew. If you're coming please just respond to this letter. It starts at 6:00 all
you'll have to do is take the number 15 bus to the last stop and get off and walk about ΒΌ
a mile up the road. I truly hope to see you there.
Mallory Lawrence"
P.S. Remember don't tell Star it's a surprise!
PoorLilRichBoy: Guys do u wanna go to Stars birthday party tomorrow
XGoalie33:Yeah
MEANDEAN21: Party!
CptDucky: I'm there
Luvhim4eva: Us too
Adam replied to the message and wondered why Star hadn't mentioned a birthday, but
figured maybe her actual b/day was a few weeks off and her parents were having the
party early to surprise her. He returned to the chat room just as
"BANKSIESGURL99 HAS ENTERED THE CHAT"
MEANDEAN21: Who invited you?
Banksiesgurl99: Funny Portman, I'm just here to remind Adam we have a date in 5 mins
PoorLilRichBoy: Sorry hun I'm leaving now
"POORLILRICHBOY HAS LEFT CHAT"
Luvher4eva: Nice name Star
Banksiesgurl99: Bite me Germaine look at urs
Luvher4eva: Connie made me get it
Luvhim4eva: I did not!!!!
Banksiesgurl99: haha ur in trouble Guy, I'm out guys lata
"BANKSIESGURL99 HAS LEFT THE ROOM"
The next day the ducks boarded bus number fifteen, just like it had been instructed in
Star's mom's e-mail. Adam was still very confused that Star hadn't mentioned her
birthday, but then again, to some people, birthday's aren't a big deal.
Adam ended up sitting next to Kenny on the way there, and across from Guy and Connie,
who were being rather annoying if you wanted to know the truth. At least Ken was quiet.
"Hey, Adam, how come Star hasn't mentioned her birthday?" Guy suddenly asked, as if
he was reading his mind.
Adam only shrugged. "I dunno."
After about an hour and a half of ridding the bus they finally got off at their stop.
"Okay, now were supposed to walk about one fourth of mile that way." Adam said
pointing.
"Uh, Adam, are you sure? I mean, it looks pretty abandoned down there." Averman put
in.
"Yeah, but that's what the e-mail said." He reasoned.
"Lets go check it out." Charlie sighed.
And with that, the ducks started heading down the wooded path way.
After about twenty minuets Goldberg spoke up. "Has it been a forth of a mile yet?"
"I think it's been more than a forth of a mile." Julie sighed.
"Guys, I think we've been set up." Guy thought out loud.
"No way, you don't think?" Charlie asked.
"Awww man!" Russ exclaimed as he flopped down on a log.
"It's starting to get dark." Connie observed.
Guy handed his girlfriend his jacket, as the team sat down and tried to figure out what to
do.
"I think we go back to the bus stop." Portman said.
Everyone nodded, as they started walking back in the direction that they came from. It
was however, getting late.
"Guys, fifteen minutes till curfew." Julie called out.
"Man, I can't believe this. How could they do something like this, it's just not right!
They screwed us over big time! We could get kicked out of school for this you know.
It's just not-"
"Shut up Averman!" Everyone yelled.
"Geeze, what did you eat to make you so hyper?" Charlie grumbled.
"And what did you eat to put you in such a bad mood." Averman shot back.
"At least I'm not annoying the crap out of everyone!"
"Guys!" Ken jumped in, trying to play peace-maker. "The last thing we need is a fight
on our hands!"
"Sorry." Charlie sighed. "Your right. This is just so frustrating."
Everyone agreed. Once they got back to the bus stop they found that the bus only ran
about once every five hours, and the next one would come at around midnight.
"This is just great." Julie sighed.
Nobody had a cell phone with them, or any cash, so all the team could do was wait until
the next bus came.
"I think we should....sing!" Dwayne
Everyone groaned. "And what would you have us sing, Dwayne?" Connie asked, trying
to humor him.
"Shucks, I don't know. But this sure is nice, all of us together like this!"
The other ducks exchanged annoyed looks.
"Too bad that this isn't survivor and we can't vote him off." Goldberg whispered to
Fulton.
After a while the bus finally came, sooner than expected, and the ducks boarded to go
back to school. When they walked back onto the Eden Hall campus they were greeted by
Dean Buckly himself.
"What are you all doing out so late? Breaking curfew is a major offense! Come back to
my office and we'll talk it over."
When they got back to the dean's office they found Coach Orion, sitting there, making
phone calls, when he saw the ducks he immediately hung up the phone. "Where have
you been?" He demanded, of his team.
Charlie got a glare in his eyes. "Varsity." Was all he said.
After hearing the story the coach, and the dean shook their heads, and sent the team back
to their dorms. "We'll speak to Cole and Riley about this tomorrow." Dean Buckly
promised.
Charlie and Guy got into bed quickly after walking through the door to their dorm room.
"I can't believe they did that." Guy said quietly as they turned off the lights.
"Tell me about it. Were talking major retaliation here."
"What do you mean?" Guy asked, hoping that it wasn't anything to serious, especially
after the last prank they had pulled. If Guy had gotten caught, he knew that he would
have had to take the punishment for everyone, that had been the deal. He didn't want to
do anything to that magnitude ever again.
"Don't worry about it." Charlie grinned. "I have a plan."
