Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
The buzzer was ringing in the D-tent girls' ears. Natasha checked her clock. It was five.
"Heck, give us a little time to sleep, man!" Yelena said wrinkling her brow and pulling the covers over her.
"Come on, let's get up."
Yelena angrily threw off her covers and all of the girls got dressed quickly. The Misses came in. "Let's go."
"Get a shovel, come on, COME ON."
Alexis yawned as she grabbed a shovel from the barn, and Tavvi looked like she had just been run over by a car. Her hair was in a tangled mess, her eyes were drooping and she was slouching. "I didn't even shower last night." She croaked.
The five girls dragged their shovels over to an empty spot. "Remember. Five feet deep. Five feet wide." The Misses said as she filled everyone's canteen.
The girls dug and dug and dug. The sun rose, hot and blaring. Finally Chun couldn't take it anymore. "The sun is just too dang hot." She said collapsing and leaning against her hole, which was only two feet deep. "This sucks." Angrily, the small girl threw her canteen onto the dusty ground after taking a drink.
"Better get your booty moving girl, or else the Misses is gonna end up chasing you with a rusty butter knife and then saw your head off."
Chun couldn't help laughing, but it soon turned into a cough.
"You ok?" Alexis said, looking up.
"I'm fine." Chun said between coughs.
"The girl is right." Yelena said, wiping the sweat off her brow. "It is too hot."
"Just think of a hot guy." Natasha suggested.
"Not helping." Tavvi groaned. "This is impossible! How do they expect us to do this?"
Soon the dusty white water truck came back around with lunch. "Ya'll get turkey sandwiches, a juice box and a chocolate chip cookie."
"Homemade?" Tavvi asked faintly.
The Misses laughed, long and hard. "In your dreams, girly. Nothing's homemade here except for the Warden's nail polish."
Tavvi moaned. Carefully while the Misses wasn't looking, Yelena snuck over to her truck and skimmed through it briefly. But as she came back as quick as a mouse she dashed back to where she was.
"Going back now. You girlies have fun."
The white truck drove off.
Alexis wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and drank a large swig of juice. "I've worked hard before, but never this hard."
Chun laid down and looked at the sky. She squinted and then pointed. "Hey look, a cloud!"
"Come on little cloud." Yelena screamed into the sky, her eyes pleading. "Just give us a little shade, that's all I'm asking for!"
"By the time it reaches here, pigs will be flying up yo butt, Foo." Chun laughed, returning back to her work.
"At least I ain't the freak yappin' my big fat mouth at everyone to shut up and dig."
"Hey, hey. Don't be so sensitive." Natasha said.
Chun threw down her shovel and got up, facing Yelena. "Why don't we just end this thing once and for all?"
"You on, Yap."
"Stop it guys." Tavvi said.
"Shut up!" They both turned to her and yelled. "Turn yo little foxtail head around so you won't see any of this, you 'shampoo stealer'." Yelena spat.
"Oooh a fight." Natasha said, getting up. "I gotta see this one!"
Chun gave Yelena a shove, which made her stumble back. "I saw you sneaking in the Missus's car. You wantin' somethin'?" She tested.
"Why don't you stay out of my business." Yelena returned the shove, except harder. Chun got up and dusted herself off. She inched closer to Yelena and struck her with a hard punch, but Yelena blocked it. "Is that all you've got, foo?"
Chun tackled Yelena down and the two got into a kicking, punching, twitching, slapping, hair-pulling fight until Natasha jumped in and broke them up. Chun wiped her mouth.
"It's the sun!" She yelled. "We have to get along better than this if we're gonna be here for the next eighteen months!"
"Why don't you stay out of it ya lil' Bugga!" Yelena said angrily.
"Come over here." She gestured to Alexis.
Alexis didn't seem to hear her and kept digging.
"I said come over, Rocky!"
"What?" Alexis looked up.
"You always digging through the rocks. Come over!"
Alexis hopped out of her hole and came over. "You too, Foxtail." Tavvi also slowly walked over.
"We all sistas, right?"
"No." Chun glared at Yelena. "Well we all gotta be if we're gonna be here for a while." Natasha said sternly. "We can't keep fightin' over stupid things like this."
"Who made you boss." Yelena sneered.
"I ain't yo boss." Natasha was getting angry. "All I was trying to do was to help ya'll, aite?"
Chun looked down, embarrassed. So did Yelena. "Aite." They finally said.
"I'm cool wit it." Alexis grinned. Tavvi smiled. "Count me in too."
"We da D-tent girls!" Natasha said. "And we stick together til the end."
The buzzer was ringing in the D-tent girls' ears. Natasha checked her clock. It was five.
