Hey guys, thanks for all of your reviews. Yes, the Jurrasic Park quote IS great. I think it is the best quote - ever :D.
There is another fun-thing to spot in this one. I'll give you a hint, it's to do with the cabin numbers.

Chapter 3 - Arrival.
Everyone got out of their bus and lined up outside of it. Two camp councillors came towards them. One looked like she could be an extra in 'Happy Days', thin and happy, while the other looked like a female version of St, Hawkes, big, burly and a look of general anger.
"Hello ladies and welcome to Camp Cold Mountain!", said the Happy Days one cheerfully, "my name is Miss Gelder and this is Miss Haloway. We will be your councillors, your carers and most importantly, your friends. We hope you have a happy and joyfull time here. We hope you leave here feeling braver. stronger and happier!".
"Oh boy", said Tabby, rolling her eyes.
Miss Haloway stepped forward, a slight sneer on her face at her cheerfull co-worker.
"Right then", she said in a gruff voice, "listen up, i'm only gonna say this once. We have rules here at Cold Mountain. First of all, when you are assigned you cabins, you will not complain, as they will NOT be changed. Second, you have one, i repeat ONE day during your time here when you may have vistitors, you will be told when that date is closer to it. There is a town a few miles away from the camp, you can go into the town for your teenage..drinking any day. But you MUST be in your bed at nights out by eleven pm, or you will be locked out of the camp for the night..and will recieve SEVERE punishment in the morning. Am i clear?!".
"Yes ma'm!", said all the girls in unison.
"Good, i have posted your cabin asisgnments on the board", said Haloway, "oh and one last thing. I am aware that there are a few...gifted ladies here. Power usage is strictly forbiden on camp. If i see so much as a explosion or a unconcioncios cheerleader, you will all be in BIG trouble. Now get out of my sight!".
With that, the girls went off the the notice board to see their cabin assignments. The cabins could each hold six girls. Jean took it as her responsibility to read it out to the rest of the girls.
"Okay", she said, "Tabby, Amara, Teryn, Julie, Belindia..they're on the cheerleading squad...and someone called Amy are in cabin eighteen".
"Great, stuck with a load of cheerleaders and a girl who hates mutants", said Tabby.
"Yeah, that's not fair!", muttered Amara, grabbing her suitcase and following Tabby to their cabin.
"In cabin seventeen", continued Jean, "is me, Amanda, Kitty..Wanda..oh boy, Rogue and..uh oh".
"What do you mean 'uh oh'?", said Rogue.
"Well, if it isn't Kitty Pryde".
Kitty took an intake of breath..she knew that voice. She turned around to see Reily..better known as Ra-Ra Riley. Kitty gluped.
"Riley?", she said, "oh..err...hi".
Riley smirked and glanced at the cabin assignments.
"Well..looks like we're cabin mates Pryde", she said, "this should be fun".
She slung her bag over her shoulder and walked off to talk with Amy. Kitty narrowed her eyes, then sighed.
"Who was that bag of attitude?", asked Amanda.
"Riley", said Kitty, shaking her head, "she..used to bully me back in Illinos. Man, i thought i'd, like, seen the back of her".
"Don't worry Kitty", said Jean, "we'll make sure that you wont get any problems from her, okay?".
Kitty gave a less-than sure nod, then followed the others to their cabin. It was pretty bare except for six beds and a few windows. Each bed had a trunk at the bottom of it and a beside cabinet at the head.
"And i thought the Brotherhood place was a hovel", mused Wanda, "at least we have paint on the walls..sort of".
"Any mess must be cleaned", read Rogue from a sign posted on the door, "no alcohol inside the cabin. A 'cabin leader' must be assigned to each cab...".
"I'll do it!", shouted Jean enthusiastically.
"Great", said Rogue, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "now a'h have ta take orders from Princess Perfect?".
There was a knock at the door and the ever-cheefull Miss Gelder walked in.
"Heloo again ladies?. Settled in?. Good", she said, "just to let you know, lunch is served at five, okay?. Okay. If you ever want to talk, do come over to me. Oooh also, for those of you with boyfriends, there is a flower and gift service which comes in everyday. Keep your eyes open, you might be lucky".
With that, she walked off, saying hello to Riley as she walked into the cabin. Riley pinpointed the bed Kitty had placed her suitcase and pushed it off, putting her case there instead.
"I dib this bed", she said.
"Wait a minute!", said Jean, "that's Kitty's bed, her case was on it".
"Yeah, but i didn't see her name on it", sneered Riley, sitting on 'her' bed, "whatcha gonna do about it anyway?".
"You'll see what we can do", said Rogue, starting to take off her glove.
"Rogue, we can't use our powers on camp", said Jean.
"Yeah", said Riley, "i had heard that you were a freak, Pryde. You were even on the TV, showing what a freak you were".
"That's it, she's going down!", said Rogue, advancing on Riley, only to have Kitty hold her back.
"Don't bother Rogue", she said, "she's is so, totally not worth it".
Rogue narrowed her eyes and put her glove back on.
"Fine", she said, then pointed at Riley, "but a'h don't like you!. You'd better watch your back".
"Oooooh i'm so scared", said Riley sracastically, "i'm going to see Amy, before i get creepy freak jerms".
With that, she walked off. Kitty sighed and started to un-pack.
"Kitty?", asked Amanda, "are you okay?".
"Fine", said Kitty, putting her stuff away, "just fine".
The other girls sighed...something told them that their cabin would be the least peacefull on camp..great.
There you go?. I bet you didn't see me sticking Riley in there, did ya? Tee hee. Well, please review, thanks guys. Until next time...
