PDM: Greetings and salutations!
Mew: How many times have I told you! Every time you say that you sound like a certain irritating spider!
PDM: Aw, gimme a break.
Mew: Never.
PDM: Hey, who's the one in charge here?
Mew: Me, last time I looked.
PDM: Lemme rephrase that. Who's holding the Poketreats here? *holds up a box of said Poketreats*
Mew: OOOH! OOOH! GIMME! GIMME NOW!
PDM: *shakes head* Only if you behave through the entire story... and, read this. *hands Mew a couple of pieces of paper*
Mew: Fine. Here goes. 'Standard Disclaimer: All submitted characters used in this story are the sole property of both the authors and the one who submitted them, and all characters stolen from anime are now the property of the authors. Just because. Mwahahaha.' WHAT? THIS IS CROCK!

Mew: Whatever. Moving on. 'This chapter, instead of being written by the awesome, wonderful, and stupendous PokeDigiManiac....' NO POKETREAT'S WORTH THIS!
PDM: Keep reading.
Mew: Yeah, yeah, yeah. '...the two authors are writing separate parts of the story, and Kamika will do the final editing. All mistakes are to be blamed on her.' *twitch* Way to get yourself removed from this story.
PDM: Naah, she wouldn't do that.
Mew: That's what you think. 'And, also, I declare myself to be the most idiotic and incompetent pokemon in the world.'
PDM: He hehehee! You got that right!
Mew: WHY YOU LITTLE....!

Chapter 4
"Fun Time!"
After the dinner food fight, the kids had been sent back to their cabins to change. In Pansy, the conversation was taking an interesting turn.
Miyako stretched. "That feels good... I was all yucky!" Most of the other kids in the cabin nodded in assent. However, Chris was still staying cautiously out of Zet's way, and Koushiro was tapping away at his computer, which, luckily, had escaped damage.
Makato yawned. "Man, you guys are boring... we should go do something fun. Let's stir up some excitement!"
Ken raised an eyebrow. "And what would you suggest? We shouldn't do anything too nasty... we don't want to get into trouble again."
"Let's go pick on the snobs!" Most of the heads in the room turned toward the voice. It was that odd girl, Hanako. She was taller than almost everyone in the room except for Makato, and she had that odd pink gem stamped on her forehead. True to form, she had on a pink T-shirt that said "Worship Me" and some jeans. "Why you all lookin' at me? It's a good idea, isn't it?"
Jyou gulped. "Whoa now, wait a second! I don't think this is a good idea, and shouldn't the cabin counselor object to all this? Ami?"
Everyone looked over at Ami. Her eyebrow raised, but in her mind, as long as they didn't get into trouble, it'd be ALL alright. Sighing slightly, she knew that if she disagreed ANYWAY, they'd just figure out some way to convince her. "Well. . . Okay, I guess. ."
"ALL RIGHT!" Makato and Hanako shouted at the exact same instant. Zet looked up at them, having at last pulled on his T-shirt, a grungy green thing with a couple of holes in it.
"What the heck is goin' on? Dontcha know that you're supposed to ask ME for help on the pranking?"
Miyako glared at him. "Why should we? You were the one who started that food fight anyway. You're just a creep!"
"Well, you're stuck with me for the summer, toots. Better make a good job of it, eh? Heh heh heh!"
"Why you..." Miyako growled and charged him, but was held back by Ken. Zet continued.
"Anyway, I got a good need to go after that idiot Korg... leavin' me out there to die. What an idiot. So, are we doin' the honey in the sheets, toilet paper all over the room, tripwires by the beds, that sorta thing?" Everyone blinked incredulously at him. "Hey, I told you I was good!"
A few minutes later, the whole cabin had gathered up the pranking stuff and snuck out quietly. Jyou was still moaning over the whole thing. "Oh, I don't like this at all... I really REALLY do not like this at all..."
Makato elbowed him roughly. "Oh, shut up and be a man for once. Let's just have fun!"
"Uh, okay..."
"Sssh! We're almost there!" Koushiro hissed, having actually put down his computer for once, and the fact that Jyou had kinda threatened him that if he hadn't gone, something would be exposed. And Koushiro was FAR from declining after that warning.
They all snuck up to the cabin, which had the lights turned on. They could hear people talking in there. It sounded like a few people were arguing and some girls were still trying to get cleaned off. Zet grinned toothily, and whispered "Okay, Hanako, Ken, Jyou, and I will go around this way. Twit-girl." He pointed at Miyako, who growled. "You, tall-chick, blue-buns, and data-nerd go around that way. When you hear them start screamin' in there, start tossin' the T.P. and the feathers. Don't let them see who you are! Just get all the stuff tossed in there and then run like crazy back to the cabin. Clear?"
Miyako groaned. "I don't see why we have to listen to you..."
"Wanna do this on your own and get kicked outta camp? Be my guest. Alright, let's go!"
They fanned out around the cabin. Zet kept popping up to see where everyone was in the cabin, and worked his way around till he was right near Korg. He then signaled to the others with him, and they all pulled out their squirt-jars of honey, stuck them in the window, and squeezed. ((A/N: Seems implausible that they have them, right? Zet brought those. He never goes anywhere without them. :D))
Straightaway, Korg, Giselle, Meiling, Ash, and Mimi were nailed. On the other side, Koushiro winced as he heard Mimi shriek. 'Oh god. . . I HOPE she doesn't find out that I helped out in this. . .' Then the other half of the group popped up and tossed in handfuls of feathers and rolls of toilet paper, which proceeded to stick to anything and everything.
With the deed done, and Narcissus screaming at the top of their lungs, Pansy took off. They all managed to get back safely, panting, laughing, and high-fiving each other... except for one.
"AAARGH! SHORT LEGS!" Zet was pounding right along when Fujimaya popped up out of nowhere and grabbed him right off his feet. "Aw, SHIT!"
"You're coming with me, troublemaker." Zet was dragged off to the directors' office, kicking and screaming.
In the director's office...
Setsuna was frowning at Zet. "Why on earth would you do something like this?"
Professor Oak shook his head. "On the first night, no less."
Zet shrugged. "Jus' wanted to have some fun."
Fujimaya growled. "You're lucky we don't toss you right outta here for that 'fun.'"
Terada sighed. "But we DO have to punish you, of course. Your punishment will be this. You will go now and clean up Narcissus' cabin."
"AND IT WILL BE SPOTLESS WHEN YOU ARE DONE!" Setsuna growled.
Zet shrugged. "Okey, I can live with that."
"Oh, we're not done yet, Zet..." Oak grimaced.
"Qué?"
"You will also take over the cleaning shift at the dining hall for the next three meals... meaning, you will be cleaning the entire dining hall on your own for all the meals tomorrow." Terada smiled. "Seem fair?"
Zet just grumbled to himself.
"Good. Now get outta here! They're expectin' you at Narcissus." Fujimaya shrugged. Zet headed on out, still grouching.
Back at the Pansy cabin...
"We did it!" Jyou was chuckling, either from actually DOING something as reckless as this or just happy that he didn't get caught.
"Yeah, and that creep Zet got caught, so even better!" Miyako was grinning.
Ami blinked. "Hey, wait a minute... we're missing two."
"Yeah, Zet."
"But... who else is missing?" Hanako wondered.
Ami looked at her cabin list. "Er... that kid named Chris Podima."
Makato shrugged. "Maybe he got caught, too. Bummer."
Ken blinked. "Wonder where he is..."
With Misty. . .
Misty sighed as she looked around. "Geez. . . You'd think it'd be a MUCH more interesting site. . . I was hoping there'd be some kind of lake. . ." She brushed by the trees on her way around. All that she could see was trees, trees, oh and MORE trees. With a slight grumble, she tried to remind herself ONCE again why she was going this way. "Oh yeah. . . Just wanted to get away from that cabin." She shook her head. Walking a bit forward, she started to hear something. "Huh?? What IS that?"
Softly walking as to not attract attention, she pulled back a branch, finding a mesmerizing lake with some figure at the end, sitting down and throwing rocks into the war. She blinked as she listened. "Si. . .Singing??" She mumbled to herself, wondering who this person was. "So. . . . wow. . ." All she could say. By mistake, she stepped on a twig, unwittingly causing the person to stop.
The blonde haired male stood up. "Hey! Who's there?!" He yelled out.
Misty closed her eyes tightly and leaned against the tree, hoping that the guy wouldn't see her there.
He stared to walk towards her position, looking around cautiously. "Come out!! I won't do anything!" He kept yelling.
Misty bit her lip, not wanting to be caught spying on somebody.
He stopped just short of her and shook his head. "If you're still here, NEVER come back!! Just don't come back." He ended with a soft voice. He sighed and walked away, kicking a rock on his way out. As soon as Misty knew he was out of sight, she finally exhaled.
"What. . Who WAS he?" She thought out loud. "Ahh. . . Can't think of it now. . ." She shook her head. She turned to her watch and her eyes widen in surprise. "Oh no!! I'm going to be late!" She turned around and with realization she gasped. "I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY I CAME!!!!" With a worried mind, she ventured into the forest, HOPING that she could find her way out and her way back to camp.
Back at camp. . .
A rather bored blond haired female roamed around the site. She had about 10 minutes to wear off and there was practically NOTHING to do, considering how she had just spent the LAST 10 minutes trying to wash out her hair from that "prank" somebody had pulled on her cabin. "The boredom in this place is just AMAZING." She said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. 14-year-old Leila Twins brushed back her hair with her hand as she continued down the path. By mistake, she banged into a blue-haired male.
With a very apologetic voice, Eriol bowed to Leila. "Gomen nasai. I didn't see you."
The first thing Leila noticed was his eyes. "Um. . . That's okay. . ." She stuttered.
He smiled at her. "Thanks." He said and started to walk away.
Leila just couldn't let him go for some reason. "Hey. . . Wait. . . What's your name?" 'Wow. . . He had such a nice smile. . .'
Eriol turned around and winked, "Eriol Hiiragizawa. It was a pleasure to meet a beautiful female such as yourself. And your name?"
With a faint blush on her cheeks, she managed to blurt out. "Twins! Leila Twins." She said with a slightness of enthusiasm, something not usually part of her.
He grinned. "I'll remember that." With that, he disappeared into one of the cabins.
Leila started to shake, "What WAS that? I just started. . . blushing??" Shaking her head, she tried to convince herself that NOTHING was wrong but that first meeting with Eriol would prove to mean SOMETHING to her.
Eriol chuckled as he entered his cabin, "I still got it!" He muttered to himself. His "suaveness" seemed to be a good tool to him. Unfortunately, SOME people were annoyed by it.
"You know. . . That was just mean." A 13-year-old female said from behind him.
Eriol sweatdropped. He may NOT have known who she was directly, and only talked to her a couple of times so far, but ALREADY she had spotted him out as a fake. "You're kidding. . . How was that mean?" He asked as he spun around to face a firey Ally Kitase at the moment.
"You're PLAYING with her feelings! Pretending that you MIGHT be interested and just "letting" her down easily. Is this just ALL a game to you??" She glared at him with her hands at her hips.
Eriol rolled his eyes as he walked over to his bed and laid down. "You know, I have NEVER done anything to lead her on. I just MET her! Don't accuse me so easily. Besides, there's only one person there for me. . ." He said, with his hands behind his head.
"Uh-huh. And yet you flirt with every pretty female you see. INCLUDING me."
Eriol sweatdropped again as he turned to the pretty dark auburned girl. "I wasn't flirting! Just introducing myself. Ever heard of good manners?"
Ally shook her head as she leaned against the top part of the bunk bed. "Yes, but saying it so. . . Argh." She muttered as she tried to find the right word.
He shook his head. "Oh. .. Why are you bothering me, anyway?? Isn't there anyone ELSE you can analyze??"
She winked at him as she started to turn around. "You're the most interesting person here! What is a girl to do??" She smirked as she walked out the cabin.
Sighing, Eriol stared at the top of his bunk. "I wonder what that girl is planning for me. . ."
Ally chuckled as she walked out of the cabin. She just couldn't stop talking to Eriol, he was way too interesting! Spotting a copper haired female that seemed to look out of place, she started to walk towards her. "Hey. . She's in my cabin, isn't she??" Ally noticed. "Hey you!"
The 12-year-old female turned around, her violet eyes scanning the area, wondering who this girl was talking to. "Er. . . Me??" She said, pointing at herself.
Ally chuckled as she stopped in front of her. "Yes you! You're the only one around, aren't you??"
Lirasaki "Lira" Salinda sweatdropped, "Well. . . True. . ." She held out her hand, "It's nice to meet you. I'm Lirasaki but you can just call me Lira."
Ally grinned as she took her hand. "I'm Ally! Great to meet you! Aren't you in my cabin??" She asked curiously.
Lira nodded, confirming Ally's thoughts. "Yeah. . . I am!" She smiled brightly.
"Great! You'll be the first one I warn!"
Lira blinked in confusion at Ally's words. "Huh??"
"NEVER, and I mean NEVER be attracted to the blue haired male name Eriol Hiiragizawa!"
Lira sweatdropped, "You mean that blue haired guy with glasses in our cabin??"
Ally nodded. "Yup! Him!"
"Er. . . May I ask why??"
"He's a FLIRT!!!! He just doesn't know when to quit!" Ally said loudly that anyone within 10 feet would hear her.
Unfortunately, a female who knew him heard the words and cut in suddenly. "WHO'S a flirt??" She asked.
Ally spun around to face the purple-haired female. "Why, Eriol Hiiragizawa! Oh! You'll be the SECOND person I warn!"
Instead of stopping to talk, the girl just fumed in anger and dashed into the Nadeshiko cabin.
Ally blinked in confusion, "Well I WAS expecting at least a thank you. . ."
Lira giggled, "She seemed kinda mad at your news. . ."
"I wonder why. . . Do you know who she is??"
"I heard her name from someone. I think it was. . . Tomoyo Daidouji?? Not too sure though."
Ally scratched the back of her head, "Weird. . . Wonder who she is. . ."
~*~
A 15-year-old female with long black hair and blue hairlights just wandered as like everyone else. Only this time, she was actually enjoying herself. Humming slightly, she walked down the path. For some kinda reason, she started singing a song from "The Lion King."
"It means no worries. . . For the rest of your days. . . It's our problem free. . . Philosophy. . . Hakuna Matata!" She giggled to herself. Sighing, she shook her head, "Just glad that there isn't anyone around to hear me. . ." She thought out loud.
"Actually, I'm here but I don't mind your singing." A brown haired female said from above.
Xiao Xing looked up to find a certain Sakura sitting on top of a tree. "Wha. . What are you doing up there??"
Sakura smiled, "It's an amazing view up here. You can see all the stars!"
Blinking slightly, she took that into note. "Um. . . Do you mind coming down?? It'd be easier for me to see you."
Sakura giggled, "Sure!" Somehow she just jumped down and landed without any harm done.
Xiao Xing blinked. "Ho. . . How'd you do that?!"
"It comes naturally to me!" Sakura said, standing up calmly. "My name's Sakura Kinomoto! And you??" She asked, holding out her hand.
Xiao Xing returned the gesture. "I'm Xiao Xing. Great to meet you."
"You have a really nice voice." She complimented.
Xiao Xing blushed. "Thank you. . . I was just singing out of nowhere. . ."
Sakura giggled, "Makes sense. . . It seems rather quiet in here for the first night."
"Yeah. . . I guess people are a little uncomfortable around strangers. . ."
"True! But we won't bite!" Sakura giggled again.
"You're right!" She giggled along with them. Suddenly a green-haired girl popped out of nowhere, looking a LOT like Xiao Xing.
"Hello!" She greeted, sounding a LOT like Xiao Xing too. Xiao Xing fell over from the shock.
"You-You look like me!!!" She exclaimed, her eyes wide.
Duplica giggled as she walked behind a tree and back out, returning back to her normal attire. "Sorry about that! I'm Duplica Imite! I love to imitate people. . ." She scratched her head. "I guess I shouldn't have done that as my first greeting. ."
Sakura blinked. "Wow. . . That was awfully good. . ."
Duplica turned to Sakura with starry eyes. "Really?!" She jumped up and down. "Yay! I'm so glad!"
Xiao Xing sweatdropped as she stood up, "How DID you do that??"
Duplica winked and struck a pose. "Years of practice!!! And besides, I'm just good at it!" She giggled, "Kidding!"
Sakura joined along. "Who else can you do??"
Duplica grinned. "A lot! Let me show you!" She said as she started to show them her different outfits.
~*~
"Ahhh. . ." Ash said as he looked around, walking alongside with Brock. "That was the MESSIEST thing I've ever been in. That Zet guy is a fool." He complained to Brock.
Brock sweatdropped. "You know, I really don't know why he would even plan on pranking us. . . ESPECIALLY since he was caught so easily. . ."
"You know, that Korg is his friend, too?? Who would prank their own friend??" Ash shook his head.
Brock started to think, "Something's strange here. . . Aren't we missing somebody??"
Ash stopped to think. "Hmmm. . . Nope not that I know of. . ."
With a light bulb, it finally registered. "We're missing. . . . GIRLS!!!!" He started to drool.
Ash sweatdropped. In his thoughts, 'Any minute now. . .' But nothing came. He looked around, "Huh?!"
Brock scratched his head, "Something is DEFINITELY missing now. . ."
"Where's. . . Misty???" Ash asked.
Brock shrugged. "I don't know. . . Maybe she's at her cabin??"
"Yeah that's it!!" Ash yelled. "Uh. . . You know what cabin she's in??"
Brock sweatdropped. "I think it's Peony. . ."
Ash nodded as he walked over to the Peony cabin and yelled inside. "Misty!! Are you here?!"
Everyone's eyes turned to him, and in unison somehow, they yelled out, "NO!!"
Ash fell back and out of the cabin. "Uh. . . Thanks. . ." He sweatdropped. Brushing off dust from himself, he stood up. "Geez, I'm just looking for someone. . . Right Brock? Brock?" He spun around to find Brock talking to some guy, nodding. He walked up to him. "Brock, what's going on??"
With a worried face, Brock faced him. "Ash. . . Bad news. . . Misty's. . . missing. . ." At that exact moment, the bell rang signaling the end of their break.
To Be Continued. . .
