Author's Note: I have nothing against blonde people, they can really be fun sometimes. Especially when they trip UP stairs. He he he! Thanks again for all the reviews, and special thanks to my editor, Holley, for helping me get my chapters squeaky clean!

Chapter 15: Blonde

The rain had drizzled out by the next day, and the sun was out again. A steady steam was rising from the ground, not pushed or blown by any wind. The heat was piercing through even the darkest shade in the forest.

Justin (boner) was walking through the forest, leading a group of low brass consisting of Kyle, Mike, Ben, Matt, and Vanessa. (He brought Vanessa along with hopes that she would be hit by one of the enemies so he wouldn't have to deal with her anymore.)

As he was creepy behind the bushes, he made out a series of thuds and groans from slightly off the path. He had never been this way, but decided to check it out anyway. He crept through the grass, and motioned for the rest of his troop to stay behind.

While he was creeping under a particularly thorny bush, he heard another thump less than a foot from his head. A short blonde girl with an extremely red face ran towards the bush and picked up a dropped flag. She then returned to the center of her formation with a bashful smile, and walked back to the other girls performing the flag routine.

"It's ok Angela," spoke a tall blonde, obviously the guard captain. "Let's try it one more time girls. Five, six, seven, eight!"



They all began spinning their flags. (If I said at the same time, I would definitely be lying.) The routine led the girls through a short little hop and skip portion, into twirling flags at random intervals. They might have been written for the same time, but the girls didn't pay much attention to that.

The flags twirled back, then spun forward. Suddenly, the girls threw the flags up into the air, and watched them crash down and bounce in every direction off the turf they had set up to practice on. Girls ducked for cover and ran out of the way as the poles jabbed out at odd angles from the ground.

One particular blonde did not escape her fate, and a blue flag on a silver pole bounced straight into her forehead. She fell over backwards, knocking over two other guard girls. The domino effect continued until only the captain was standing.

"Girls, that's enough for today," she said with exasperation. "You can go now."



"Yes, Ashley," the girls responded. They began to chat and giggle with each other as soon as they could stand up.

"You really dropped that flag Angela!"



"Gee, thanks Katie. You dropped yours too, though. So did you Kristen." The other two girls blushed uneasily, but continued chatting.

The other girls; Lisa, Whitney, Alicia, (the other ones I might have forgotten…) walked to put their flags in the rack. Justin tried his hardest not to laugh as one of them tripped over the others' foot. He could not help himself, but let out a crisp, short laugh.

The guard girls turned on their heels with she-devil glares at the thought of someone watching their routine.

"Attack!"



The girls pulled out valve oil balloons from behind their flag rack, and headed straight towards Justin's position. He got up and ran back as fast as his legs would take him. The guardos lunged after him, bloodthirsty and vicious in every way.

The guard attack went downhill from there. Angela tripped, losing her balloons to splash against Kristen and Katie, who in turn lost control of their balloons. The blonde (and blonde at heart) girls were so surprised that they accidentally threw their balloons at the other girls.

After about five minutes, the only girl left standing was the captain, Ashley. She glared quickly at the other girls, rolled her eyes, and began walking in the direction that Justin ran in. As she neared the path, she kicked out her own heel, and fell face first into a pool of mud. Her last balloon flew into the air, and exploded on her back with a large pop.
