Chapter 6 - A getaway



A few days later, the girls had gotten settled into the routine of Camp Cold Mountain. The 'fun' idea of being away from home for a while had gone full circle..the girls were begining to get homesick. They were all sitting on what had been dubbed 'the freak table' in the lunchroom.

"You know", said Amanda thoughtfully, "it feels weird not having to get blue fur off my clothes".

"That's too much information Amanda", said Rogue, shaking her head.

"You know, i never thought i'd say this", said Wanda, "but i miss home. I miss the boarding house, i miss Lance, Freddy, my brother, i even miss Toad....and that singular thought is so depressing, i think i'm going to cry".

Wanda promtly banged her head on the table. Tabby sighed and shook her head.

"Girls, what we need is some R and R", she said, "we're allowed to go out, right?. Well, why don't we!. What better excuse to get plastered than because we miss home?!".

"You know..she's right", said Kitty, "we deserve it!. I mean, wev'e like, ran in muddy woodland, taken showers with a bucket, eaten this..what the heack IS this"?.

She gave the food in front of her a prod.

"I don't know..and i don't think we're meant to ask", said Amara with a sigh.

"Then it's settled!", said Tabby, "tonight we're gonna parrrrtyyy!. Whooooo!".

"I don't know guys..what if we get locked out of the camp...", started Jean.

"We won't", said Rogue, "ya'll don't have ta come if ya don't want to".

"No, i do want to", said Jean, then sighed, "i do kinda miss Scott".



Later on, the girls had left the camp with smiles, entering the nearby town. It had obviously been well catered for the nearby teenage camp, as there was bars all over the place.

"Pince me, i'm n heaven!", said Tabby with a laugh, "party time!".

"Where to first?", asked Amara, "choices, choices...".

"THAT ONE!", squealed Kitty, pointing to a bar named 'Paintball Avenue'.

The girls entered to find a huge nightclub. There were tables on baclonys around the side of the room. The middle was a dance floor, where people were banging on drums with pain on, splattering the stuff everywhere. People ran around with paintball guns and occasionally paint sprayed down from the celing sprinklers.

"Cooooooool!", said Amanda.

"Maybe this isn't the best place to b...", Jean said, but the girls had already run off to the floor, "oh..great".

She gave a defeated sigh and folllowed the girls to the dancefloor, where they were already getting plastered with paint. Even Rogue and Wanda were laughing and having fun.

"Take that!", shouted Amara with a laugh, grabbing a piant bomb and throwing it at Kitty, who phased through it, letting it hit Tabby instead.

"Hey!", said Tabby with a laugh, "you cheated".

Kitty blew a rasberry and ran off as she was barraged with paint. Wanda meanwhile was gesturing with her hands, mearly diverting all the paint flying at her ontot the others.

"She's still clean!", said Amanda, pointing at Wanda, "come on, she can't get us all at once, rush her!".

"Eeeep", said Wanda as paint came in all dirrections, plastering her with the stuff.

The girls fought for a while longer before retreating to the saftey of a blacony table. Jean came over with a load of test tubes..with some kind of drink in them.

"Okay, i know most of you are underage", she said, ignoring the wines, "but i decided that we should be allowed to let our hair down for a change, so drink up!".

The others blinked, surprised in the red-head's sudden change in attitute, maybe she was fed up and needed to cut loose as much as the rest of them...well they we'ren't about to argue with her. They all downed their 'test tube thingies', as they would later be dubbed and smiled. From what they could collectively gather. The drink composed of Voka, Rum and...something blue.

"You know, i have had five of these", said Amara, holding up an empty test tube, "and i can hardly feel it".

The young princess paled suddenly.

"Oh boy, stand back, here comes Mr.Nausea", she said, running off to the bathroom.

"Ahhh the young just can't handle their drink", said Rogue before dropping a ball of aint onto her own foot, "oopsie. My hands are working not".

The night wore on, everyone drinking more 'test tube thingies' and getting more so covered in paint. By the time they were pushed out, it was getting pretty late. The girls made it up to camp...to find the gate was locked and bolted.

"We missed cerfiew!", said Jean wiht a paniced voice, "we..we have to sleep outside and we are sooo gonna get it in the morning!!!!".

"Chill out Red", said Tabby rolling her eyes, "Kitty can just phases us through, we can go to bed, they might not be any wiser".

"BUt if they KNOW we missed cerfiew, and find us in our beds, they will know we used out powers to get back and and we'll be in more toruble!".

"Well, i don't know about you guys", said Wanda, "but if we're gonna get it anyway, i'd rather get in trouble after a good nights sleep in my warm bed than a bad one on the cold ground".

"She's got a point", said Rogue, crossing her arms.

"Well, i'm staying here", said Jean, sitting down, 2i'm not going to break the rules. This is a moral stand, if any of you have any morality at all, you'll stay here".

The girls looked at Jean..then held onto Kitty as she phased in through the gate.

"Fine then!", shouted Jean, crossing her arms and pounting.

She watched the others walk to their cabins, shaking her head. She then shivered..boy it was cold out here, and the fact that she was still soaked in wet paint didn't help any. She hugged herself to keep warm. She was NOT going to give up on this. She had to make a stand so she could be an example to the others...geez, she had been hanging around Scott for too long.

"Oh..damnit!", she said.

She stood up and raised herself in the air, floating over the gates and onto the gorund on the other side. With a shake of her head at her own bad strangth of will, she headed back to her cabin..and her warm bed.
