"UP!" Yelled Buri, shattering everybody out of pleasant dreams and
comfortable sleeping positions.
"I don't want to go to school today, mother." Muttered Lady Light, who was still pretty much asleep.
Maddy popped out of her tent and began to run around in circles, chattering like chipmunk. She only stopped when Kate stumbled out of their tent and whacked her on the head with a pillow.
"You have got to be the weirdest little gal, EVER, Maddy." Said Anne Marie.
"Nifty!" Said Maddy happily, jumping from one side of the brook to the other.
"Are we going to start weapons training now?" Asked Caprice.
"Could everybody shut up?" Said Krizsta. "It's not even light up!"
"Kablooey!" Said Maddy.
"Yes, you are going to start weapons training today." Said Alanna. "As soon as everybody wakes up."
There was a scramble to throw off sleeping bags and line up in front of Alanna.
"Good." Said Buri. "Last night, Alanna and I thought about which of you would be best at certain types of fighting."
"Drum roll, please!" Said Kaytee.
"The archers will be learning with me and Daine." Said Dom. "And they are; Kate, Rosefyre, and Peter. If you three would come over here and grab bows and quivers?"
"Yippee!" Said Kate grabbing a bow and a quiver.
"Is it a good idea to trust Kate with pointy objects?" Asked Peter, shoving Kate's shoulder in a playful way.
"Probably not," said Daine. "But we are anyway! Follow me, please." She and Dom then led the three teenagers toward the forest.
"The following will be swordfighters." Said Alanna. "They will work with me. They are Diana, Maria, Kaitlin, and Anne Marie." She said, reading off of a list that was handed to her by Buri.
Maria giggled evilly. "Swordie." She said.
"Um, right." Said Alanna, gabbing six swords. "If you'll follow me?" She and Kel led the four girls to a sort of island in the middle of the brook.
"Krizsta, Reganas, and Samkin will be doing spears with me and Buri." Said Raoul.
"Oooh!" Exclaimed Reganas. "Can I poke somebody with a spear?"
"No." Said Buri.
"OK then!" Said Reganas.
"Kathryn and Marc will be doing wrestling and Shang fighting with me." Said George.
"I have to wrestle with a boy?" Asked Kathryn.
"I have to wrestle with a girl?" Asked Marc.
"Oh well!" They said in unison and followed George off toward the woods.
"I can teach a few people how to use a slingshot." Said Amy.
"I'll learn!" Said Olivia, raising her hand and waving it wildly above her head.
"Make the spasms stop!" Yelled Caprice, yanking Olivia's arm down. "Oh, and I guess I'll learn too."
"And me!" Said Lady Light. "I actually know how to use a slingshot, but I'd like to get better, as I'm not very good."
"I warn you, I'm not exactly the best teacher." Said Amy.
"I'll help you teach!" Said Kaytee.
"Nifty!" Said Amy. "Could you guys come over here?" Amy grabbed a bunch of slingshots and walked over toward a solitary bush over by a fallen tree. The girls followed her, looking something like ducklings following the mother duck.
"Wait!" Said Gregory. "What are we doing?"
"Dad?" Asked Meron. "What are you teaching us?"
"Not really anything." Said Cleon. "Everyone else sorta voted me the worst teacher because I didn't really "shine" in any particular fighting art. So I'm going to teach you all how to be quiet and enter the castle. That way, maybe you can spy?"
"SPY SPY SPY SPY SPY SPY SPY SPY SPY SPY!" Yelled Maddy. "I can spy!"
"Me too!" Said Liney, running around in circles. "I'm a perfect spy."
"Boys, will you restrain these slightly insane girls?" Asked Cleon. Meron tackled Maddy and held her to the ground. Gregory grabbed onto both of Caroline's shoulders and held her still.
"Thanks." Said Cleon.
"Wait," said Liney. "What are Neal and Numair teaching?"
"Nothing." Said Cleon. "They are going to come up with a strategy. Now if you'll follow me over here?" He walked over to a small field near where Dom and Daine's group were practicing archery.
"Hi guys!" Yelled Kate. "How ar-" At that second she leaned over and threw up.
"Oh my gods!" Said Cleon rushing over. Maddy, Meron, Liney, and Gregory followed. Soon everyone was circled around Kate.
"What happened?" Asked Rosefyre, sounding extremely concerned, which she was, of course.
"Bug...flew into...my mouth." Said Kate, gasping. "Bleghu! That was extremely nasty!"
"Are you OK?" Asked Krizsta.
"A bug just flew into my mouth." Said Kate. "Does that sound like I'm OK to you?"
"Not really." Said Kaitlin.
"Are you going to live?" Asked Alanna, sarcastically. "Because if you can still manage to walk could you continue archery training, if you don't mind!"
"Somebody's in a bossy mood today." Said Diana, referring to Alanna.
"HIKE!" Screamed Maddy and she tackled Kathryn.
"Help!" Screamed Kathryn.
"I remember screaming that." Said Cleon, thoughtfully. "Maddy's got quite a grip, doesn't she?"
Numair walked forward and pried Maddy off of Kathryn. "What was all that about, now?" He asked.
"What?" Asked Maddy. "I have to have a reason to yell hike and tackle somebody?"
"Well, just normally." Said Maria.
"But you aren't normal are you now?" Asked Olivia.
"Damn right!" Said Liney. "And we is proud of it too!"
"It's are." Said Reganas. "Not is, are."
"I'm confused." Said Kaytee. "There are too many ises and ares."
"ARE WE GOING TO GO BACK TO TRAINING OR WHAT?" Yelled Rosefyre.
"Yes, yes, of course." Said Alanna. "Everybody go back to what you were doing before Kate swallowed that bug."
"Haha!" Said Samkin. "Kate is going to have bug breath!"
"Shut up, onion boy." Said Kate.
"Everyone slowly walked toward where they were before to continue to train for when they needed to attack the castle of evil."
"We told you no more narrating Meron!" Yelled Anne Marie.
"Sorry." Said Meron.

Luv from, LadyKnight
P.S. Kate-Sorry I didn't wait for you to proofread it. I just couldn't wait to put this up...and waiting sucks. Major.
P.P.S. Reganas, I just realized that I've been spelling your name wrong. It's Raganas, right? Well is it OK if I just call you Reganas? Cuz, now I'm used to it, and all. *Apologetic grins*
P.P.P.S. *Runs around in circles with her arms outstretched like wings yelling: I'm an aeroplane! I'm and aeroplane!* I'm mentally stable, why do you ask?
