The Girl Scout Chronicles
Chapter Two: Arrival at Camp
It didn't seem like it took any time at all to arrive at Marydale, after all, Electra had only gotten lost three times, and for someone who had NO idea where they were going, that wasn't too bad.
"Alrighty girls! Shall we go check in?" Electra asked, nudging the now sleeping Chibi on the shoulder while C.B. did the same to Aqua, who was sleeping on him.
Quick, the only one who had forced herself to stay awake, answered, "Umm. Mr. Electra, we DO have a slight problem. This is a GIRL Scout Camp, and well."
"Say no more, oh one of little faith!" Electra interrupted. When he spoke again, his voice was strangely high-pitched, "I'm not called AC-DC for nothing, you know."
Quick was shaking in fear, not wanting to know HOW Electra had changed, and she pointed to C.B. "And what about him?"
Aqua yawned, and she turned to look at Chibi, who had a mischievous glint in her eyes, "Oh Quick, surely you've seen enough Anime to know where THIS is going!"
Aqua clung onto the now baffled C.B., "Oh. he will look so CUTE as a girl!"
"Well, then it is settled," Electra began, his voice still as high-pitched and lutey, "I will go and get ready to check us in while you three give sweet little C.B. something he really needs. A MAKEOVER!"
~o~o~o~
"I think if we put lipstick it would be overdoing it, don't you?" Chibi asked, standing back to look at their creation.
"I dunno, what do you think Quick?" Aqua asked, brushing C.B.'s hair in an effort to style it. She finally gave up and just stuck a barrette on the top, "That's just gonna have to do."
Quick gave a look at the Red Caboose, and she could not help but marvel at the change. He was now, instead of his other scarlet attire, was wearing a tight red sweater with blue jean pants. She shook her head, "No. No lipstick and no barrette. He can be a tom boy."
Chibi sighed, "Yeah, considering that no matter WHAT he wears he's still so small and cute. he SCREAMS tom boy!"
Aqua hugged C.B. "I'm sure he'll fool them all!"
C.B. just smiled, not at all offended by the talk. "Shouldn't we go see about Electra? He can't really check us all in if we are not there right?"
Chibi nodded, "But first, we must give you a name."
C.B. gave a puzzled look, "But I already have a name!"
Aqua giggled, "C.B. just doesn't sound too womanly."
Quick saw the Red Caboose, and out of pity she suggested, "Maybe we could give him a name that uses C.B. as initials, and therefore would be a nickname?"
"But where will we find a name like that?"
All of the girls went into deep thought, and C.B. coughed to get their attention, "What about Robin C. Banks?"
They all stared at him, and he shrugged, "You could still call me C.B. for short, and it makes sense. in a way."
"Well, if you like it. then it's o.k. with me!" Chibi declared, and Aqua nodded to show her approval.
So they went to meet Electra, and neither of the other two girls really knew why Quick and C.B. were sharing a laugh.
~o~o~o~
When they arrived, they found Electra arguing with the people at the front desk. "What do you mean you don't believe me that I have girls here? They just went to take care of a little business. They will be right back!"
"Here we are Miss Electra," C.B. called, thankful that his song required him to be high-pitched.
Electra spun around, and he graced them all with a smile, "Oh. there are my GIRLS!"
'She' ran over to them and grabbed all four of them into a hug, much to Quick's discomfort, and C.B. hissed, "I think you're overdoing it!"
Electra released them, and she spun around placing her hands on the registration table, "Now can we sign in?"
The lady behind the desk blinked, and nodded, "Miss Electra? And the names of your girls?"
"Chibi Chan, Aqua Drageen, Quick Silver, and C.B."
The lady looked up, "And what is C.B.'s full name?"
C.B. answered for himself, "Robin C. Banks."
Electra stared at him, and she smiled, "Oh that's right! I had quite forgotten!"
The lady nodded, "You may all proceed to Owl's Roost. You will be staying in the lodge."
"Thank you so very much dear!" Electra smiled, clapping his hands. "Come along girls!"
"Mister. um. Miss. err." Quick began, uncertain of how to address the AC-DC train.
"Just call me Electra, or Elok. We're all friends here!" Electra laughed, her voice sounding like a demented pixie.
"Ummm. oh never mind," Quick blushed. She turned to Chibi, "Does he know we have to hike all the way to Owl's Roost?"
Chibi shrugged, watching as Aqua tried not to cling to C.B. "He'll figure it out."
