The Girl Scout Chronicles
Chapter Ten: Separation in The Woods
Special Guests: The Lost Children of The Woods
Quick: The fic lives! IT LIVES I TELL YOOOOOUUU!!! Aqua: YAY! Chibi: It's not like anyone reads it. Quick: sigh I know. Aqua: I read it! And it really SHOULD be finished before NEXT year's trip. Quick and Chibi: Good point.
Everyone was just about done with breakfast when a smiling Electra and an overly happy Money Truck returned.
Aqua opened her mouth, but closed it. "No. I don't want to know."
CB gave her a pat on the head, "That is pure wisdom."
Chibi asked, poking at her biscuit, "So, what are we going to be doing today if we won't be riding horses?"
Quick muttered to her, "I don't care so long as I am FAR away from the overly happy Purse and the slightly too happy Electra."
The Money Truck just smiled at her, "Awww. don't be such a fuddy duddy! It's a WOOOOONDERFUL day!"
Electra's tail flicked, and she said, "Well, has all of my precious little girls finished? You have? Super! Now it's time for. HIKING!"
CB winced as the girls all gave cries of delight, "My, my. I do believe they like that idea, Electra."
The AC-DC train giggled, "I would assume so."
Purse sniffed, "Well, I don't know if I like it. But. for Master Electra. I will face any challenge!"
Aqua giggled, "That's the spirit Pursey!"
Quick sighed, "This is going to be a looooong day."
Chibi smiled, "Oh, it won't be so bad!"
CB nodded, trying very hard to be the last one to leave the building, "Everyone in the group likes hiking. and it's not like anything STRANGE is going to happen!"
He smirked as he said this, and he asked Aqua, "Is it true what I hear about these woods?"
Aqua blinked, "Nani?"
CB blinked, "What?"
"Nani?"
"What?"
"NANI?!"
"WHAT?!"
"SILENCE!" Electra thundered, well, thundered as best she could. "CB. 'nani' is the Japanese word for 'what'."
The Red Caboose smiled, "I know that, Electra! I was just having fun!"
She twitched, but said nothing as Chibi quickly intervened, "What have you heard about the woods, CB?"
"I heard that little Girl Scouts often get lost in these woods. Or sometimes. sometimes they are led to their deaths."
Purse gulped, "D-deaths?"
The Caboose's eyes gleamed, "Oh yes. DEATHS! It is said that it all started with two little girls who got lost. and then they came back from the dead to feast upon the souls of those who were unlucky enough to get caught! And their ranks grew. and grew. so that no one really wants to go into the woods. alone."
The green Money Truck turned even more green with fright, and with a screech, leapt into his master's arms.
Quick tried to soothe him, "Come on Purse. that can't be true! And even if it was. you know that you aren't alone! Look at how many of us there are!"
Chibi added, "Yeah, Pursey! Electra will protect you! And we're not going anywhere."
Aqua giggled, "And the Lost Children of the Woods wouldn't want to eat YOU, Pursey-chan! They'd go after everyone else first!"
This seemed to calm the Money Truck down, but little girlish giggles quickly made him frightened again. The eerie little voice that spoke was not helping matters much, "But that's where you are quite wrong. We LIKE fear."
Electra whispered, "Okay. when we turn around, everyone be sure to gasp!"
GASP!
GASP!
GASP!
GASP!
GASP!
GASP!
One of the girls behind them winced, "WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE AND THE ANIME LIKE GASPING?! KNOCK IT OFF!"
They complied, and Quick asked, "Just who are you all supposed to be?"
The rather Zombie-like Girl Scouts looked slightly miffed, "We are, naturally, the LOST CHILDREN OF THE WOODS!"
The group blinked, and it was Electra that asked, "So?"
The Lost Children facefaulted, "We are here so that you can join the ranks of the undead, etc. etc. Weren't any of you listening to what the strange little girl in the red sweater was saying?"
"TAKE ME AND NOT CB-SAMA, QUICK, OR CHIBI!"
"TAKE ME AND NOT ELOK-SAMA, AQUA, OR QUICK!"
"TAKE ME AND NOT MASTER ELECTRA!"
"TAKE ME AND NOT PURSEY-CHAN OR ANY OF MY SWEET LITTLE GIRRRRLS!"
CB and Quick blinked when the group looked at them. Quick shrugged, "TAKE ME AND NOT CHIBI OR AQUA!" CB followed, "TAKE ME AND NOT AQUA-CHAN!"
The Leader of the Lost Children of the Woods coughed, "Are you all finished?"
When they nodded, the LCOTW pulled out their band instruments. "Good. now we can sing the stinkin' song and get this over with!"
Pursey quivered, "Song?"
The LCOTW began to sing, "It's a story, of some ugly children, who just happened to get lost in the woods. Their bodies rotted because of the weather, just like it should. And nobody ever found them because they knew deep down in their dead hearts, that they would have to kill some others, so that they could join the Lost Children Of The Woods. Duh duh, the Lost Children of The Woods. That's they way. we became. the Lost Children of The Woods! Duh duh duh duh!"
The LCOTW looked up, expecting to see fear written on their victim's faces. However, the 'victims' were gone, having run away during the song. The leader screamed, "GET THEM!"
Electra called to his 'group', "At the risk of sounding like Freddy from Scooby Doo, LET'S SPLIT UP GANG!"
And so they did. into three pairs. The AC-DC train and Quick went to the left. Aqua and Pursey went to the right, and Chibi and CB went straight ahead.
The LCOTW grew tired of the chase, and that left the 6 members of the same group split apart.
