"Are you guys ready?"
"Yeah!" Stanley called out.
"Be careful!" Mr. Yelnats said, patting the air-conditioned bus the boys were going to ride in to travel to the old camp green lake.
"I love you, Stanley!" Mrs. Yelnats called out.
"Love you too mom!" Stanley waved.
"Geez, Armpit, man, do you STILL not shower?" Magnet said, waving his cap at Armpit.
"Why are we going back to visit Camp Green Lake anyway, Caveman?" Said X- Ray, putting his feet up on the bus chair as it started to move. "It's turned into a little girlyscout camp."
"So we can watch them bake cookies and make arts and crafts." Squid joked.
"Or so you can pick up a girlfriend." Zig Zag laughed.
"Shut up!!!" A pillow flung from the back of the bus, hitting Zig Zag from the back of his head. Zig Zag fell over, still laughing.
"Yeah, for real, Stanley, why are we going back?" Zero asked quietly.
"I wanted to see what they did." Stanley looked blankly out the window.
"What they did to US can't be as bad as what they are doing to THEM." Armpit said confidently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Dang it, whatever they did to those kids who were here a year before us can't be as bad as what they're doing to us now!" Bugga complained.
"Shut up and dig." Yap said, shoveling sand into a huge pile she had already made.
"I bet those boys got seven showers seven times a week, man!" Sneaker said. "We only get three."
"And we're girls too!" Foxtail whined. "We stink, we're dirty and I haven't washed her hair in a forever!"
"Can't argue with that." Bugga said, eyeing Foxtail's hair. "It looks like someone poured a bucket of grease all over you."
Foxtail shot Bugga a look.
Rocky put her leaned against her shovel for support. "Shut up, both ya'll. Misses is coming."
The dirty white truck pulled up in front of them as the girls got in line.
"Thirsty ladies?"
"Yeah." All of the girls said, groaning.
"Well, that's too bad." Misses said, turning around to get back into her car. "We're outa water. Just thought you'd like to know." That's when Sneaker lost it.
"Listen lady, we've been digging for two hours straight with nothing but a skimpy cup of water to drink from, and if you can't give us just a little more then-"
Misses stopped dead in her tracks and turned around slowly. "If I can't give you just a little more...then what?"
Sneaker angrily gave Misses a look. Her bold face shone in the sun. "Then we ain't digging no more holes for you."
"What the heck are you doing Sneaker?" Rocky whispered furiously.
Misses smiled a sneaky smile. Nobody had EVER argued with her before. "Oh, is that so?" She walked around Sneaker. "Congratulations, ladies. Your friend Sneaker here has gotten you DOUBLE the work."
All of the girls moaned.
"I want ten holes by the time I come back." She hissed angrily. "If I don't get ten holes, it's doubled again. Got it?"
The girls looked silently at the white truck that drove away and eventually disappeared.
"Thanks a lot, Sneaker." Bugga said with anger in her voice. "Tonight we're going to be twice as sore."
"Hey, at least she stood up for us man." Yap said as she threw her canteen angrily into the ground. "Come on, let's get digging."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I bet they don't even want to touch the play dough!" Squid said as the other boys laughed. This game had been going on for a while. "Ooooh my fingernails are going to get dirty!" He mocked in a girlish voice. Even Stanley was laughing along.
"Ewww, I'm not going to touch that!" Magnet said in a high-pitched voice. "It's *CONTAMINATED*!"
"You forgot to put that chocolate chip in that cookie, darling." X-Ray said, waving his hand in the air. "I'm going to count ten points off!"
"Man, seriously." Armpit sighed. "I bet they're eating until they explode right now. Eating GOOD food." He popped a bag of BBQ chips open and started stuffing them into his mouth.
"Oh no." Zig Zag said. "They're too afraid they're going to get fat."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sneaker slammed her tray down on the table. "No tacos tonight." She said in disbelief. "Can you believe that?!"
All the girls were ignoring her and talking to each other.
"What you talking about?" Sneaker demanded. "Yo mama." Bugga said. They all turned around and laughed.
"Whatever." Taco said, sitting down, pushing Foxtail over.
Rocky was stuffing her face. "I am so hungry guys."
"Oh, we can all see that girl." Bugga said with attitude as the other girls laughed at her.
"What?" Rocky looked up, beans covering her mouth. "Can't a girl eat in peace?"
"Come on, let's get out of here and get down to the wreck room." Yap said, taking one last drink and throwing her trash away.
"I ain't done eatin' girly!" Sneaker said, finishing her beans.
"Whoa, Bugga!" Foxtail waved her hand at the girl while covering her nose. "You blew a big one! Geez girl, you'd gotta stop eatin so many beans!"
"Shut up ya little Weasel." Bugga gave Foxtail a hard shove. Foxtail rubbed her arm angrily.
Yap was cracking up so hard she almost fell over. "Ya'll know beans are the musical fruit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yeah, you know?" Zig Zag said, playing a gameboy game while lying down. "I really bet you they're not working at all."
"How much do you bet?" X-Ray asked.
"Five bucks."
"Alright, foo. You on." X-Ray said.
"You really think they are?" Zero asked X-Ray.
"Naw. But it doesn't hurt to try."
"Ok, we'll reach there by morning." Stanley announced. "So we'd better get some rest."
All of the boys were no longer restless, but now tired of being trapped on a bus all day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, I've heard we have some visitors." Foxtail said, rushing inside the D- tent cabin.
"More fresh meat?" Taco asked.
"No.boys!"
All of the girls stood up immediately.
"BOYS?!"
"My sources never lie." Foxtail said, putting her hands on her hips.
"Oooh man Foo, they'd better be good lookin' boys." Bugga said, lying back down again.
"What kinda boys, Foxtail?" Yap said with curiosity.
"Real rich ones, I've heard."
"Are they here to donate money?" Rocky snorted. "This place needs it."
"Yeah, we'll find out tomorrow." Sneaker yawned.
"Oh yeah." Bugga said, turning out the light. "They're probably afraid they're gonna get their little fingernails dirty when they get here."
