Hey everyone! I forgot to tell you guys what that song was. It was called "That's what friends are for" (that's where I got the title for the story) and I got it from American Idols, but it was originally written by Stevie Wonder.

            Anway, here's the next chapter! Hope you enjoy!!!!! **And don't forget to review!**

            "Beans…again." Caveman muttered. He toyed with brown mush on his plate, "Well, if that's what you call it."

            "Get use to it." Zigzag commented. The silence at the table was bugging all the boys.

            "I wonder where he is." X-ray broke the quiet.

            "Maybe he's in the country. Green grass, with fields going on for miles…" Zigzag guessed as he shoved a spoon full of beans in his mouth.

            "Yeah, and maybe they have a dog!" Magnet put it, "I love dogs." The conversation went on from there until dinner was over. They walked slowly outside.

            "I wish my mom would come and get me." Caveman whispered. X-ray gawked at him.

            "Dude, you don't even know what it's like livin' here for more than 6 months. You've only been here a couple weeks!"

            "I know. But, I still hate this place." The others nodded in agreement. It felt so awkward with their friend there.

            Walking into the tent, they collapsed onto their cots, exhausted (just like any other day) from digging.

            "You know what would be cool?" Armpit asked suddenly.

            "What?" Magnet responded.

            "If Squid came back." X-ray sighed after that comment and said,

            "Don't give your hopes up, man, but I seriously doubt that will happen."

            Morning came just like any other day for the boys. Sleepily, they climbed out of bed, got on their work clothes, and listened as Mr. Sir kept arguing over the fact about how tired they were in the morning. Who cared? They would be wide awake in a matter of minutes anyway.

            Digging started, and continued, the silence heavily weighing on them. It was almost 3:00 by the time they finished. It had been a long day, and they were all looking forward to some rest.

            I know this chapter is kinda short. The next will be longer, garunteed! That's when all the good stuff happens. Of course, I'm not gonna tell ya, so you have to review and tell me what you think so far. :):)
