Kimi
Chapter 9
For the next 3 hours they all marched around the field, learning the charts for the first show of the year, working on their kick rolling step, and pre-game. Mandy and Kim were exceptionally lost, but the boys tried to help them out as best as they could, except Spot. Spot was in his own world, not talking to anyone.
"Is he always like that?" Kim asked Boots, nodding her head in Spots direction.
"No, actually he's not. He's usually bossing people around, making everyone stay quiet and perfectly inline and writing the movements in his music." Boot told her.
"Well why isn't he then?"
"He's thinking." Kid Blink told them as he joined the conversation. "That's how he acts when he's in serious thought, but I don't know what in the world he could be thinking about that seriously. After all, it's only the first day of band camp. Usually he doesn't get like this until cabin time on the third day."
"I bet it has something to do with you though." Boots decided.
"True. He's not used to being challenged, and you challenge him. You actually make him work to be the best. Usually he doesn't try at all and he still is better then the rest of us, but since you're as good as him, he's going to be working his ass off to keep his title." Blink commented. Kim nodded in response as Mr. S. announced that it was time for silent drills. For the next hour everyone marched up and down the field practicing their kick roll in unison. Finally at the end of the hour Mr. S. had everyone stand in an arc and they played the alma mater. Luckily for Kim and Mandy, their part was easy enough that they picked up on it the first time. As soon as the alma mater was over the band ran up the hill to put away their instruments and head to the mess hall for snacks. The percussion all got their ice cream and headed down to the cabins.
"Wow! It's really dark! I can't see a thing!" Mandy commented as she followed Mush through the woods back to the cabin.
"I know that's why I brought my flashlight!" Mush told her happily holding up a bright yellow flashlight.
"Mush, if you have a flashlight and you can't see anything because it's dark, then why don't you turn your flashlight on?" Kid Blink inquired following behind them.
"Well you see, this is the first year I remembered to pack my flashlight, unfortunately though I forgot to pack the batteries." Mush explained. Mandy giggled.
"OW!" Kim yelled as she stumbled over a tree root sticking out of the ground.
"Are you ok?" Davey asked her.
"Yeah, unfortunately…" Kim frowned.
"What's the unfortunate part of that?" Kid blink asked.
"Well, I've always wanted crutched, but I never ever sprain my ankle when I trip over things." Kim told them.
"Ok… that's odd…" Bumlets commented.
"Well that's Kimi." Mandy informed them. "Ya know what I want to do? I want to play hide-and-seek."
"That would be fun!" Mush agreed.
"Ok, I'll hide and you seek!" Mandy told him.
"Ok!" Mush said covering his eyes, "One. Two. Three…" Mandy ran off in the other direction as Mush counted. Everyone else kept walking towards the cabins.
"Those two are perfect for each other." Pie Eater commented. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement as the approached the cabins.
"Hey Spot, can you help me learn pre-game?" Kim asked him, interrupting his thoughts.
"Yeah, sure. I have ta get my shower first, so how about you come over to our cabin in 20 minutes." Spot suggested.
"Ok. That works for me." Kim told him as she entered her cabin.
