Stanley woke up to the bright sunlight shining on his face. Armpit was snoring loudly in the back. He walked up to the front and decided to talk to the bus driver, Mitch,
"When are we going to get there?"
"In just a few minutes, Kiddo." Mitch said. "Just be patient. Ok?"
Stanley nodded and walked to the back again. He sat down on his seat and looked out the window. The place was so familiar. He remembered almost everything. The desert weather. The treeless grounds. The hundreds and hundreds of holes. Still there.
But wait. Something wasn't right.
Stanley squinted. Was that....sand coming out of the holes?
He rubbed his eyes. But when he opened them again there were still bunches of rusty beige sand fountaining out of the holes.
"Hey guys, wake up!" Stanley called.
"Yo what IS IT Caveman?" X-Ray said, grumpy from just being woken up.
"Look outside."
"Mmmmphppttt."
"Look!"
"MMmmMMMphhhthtttttt!"
Stanley walked over and tapped Zero on the shoulder. "Hey, look at that."
"Aww Stanley, just a few more minutes!"
"No dude, come on, get up now!"
Zero sat up and rubbed his eyes. He looked out the window. "What??"
"Look at the sand."
Zero looked closer. "Yeah, what about it?"
"It's still coming out of the holes." Stanley said. "That only means one thing."
Zero's head jerked over to Stanley quickly and his eyes widened. "Do you really think...?"
Stanley's eyes were glazed and a bit scared. "She's back. And she wants something else."
"But what?" "I don't know, but whatever it is," He looked back out the window. "She's making the girls dig for it now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What the heck?" Zig Zag stared out the window in disbelief. "What's going on?"
The bus stopped and Stanley turned over to his friends, all looking out the window, confused.
"Why does this place not look any different from when we left?"
"It does, you effin' idoit."
"How?"
"DUH. THE GIRLS."
"Ooooh."
"Come on guys, let's go out." Stanley started to get up.
"No way Caveman." X-Ray put his hands up. "I ain't goin' out there."
"Why?"
"SHE'S back."
"We have a bunch of paperwork and stuff. She can't keep doing this. Now come on."
Slowly and nervously the D-Tent boys got out of the bus. But as they were walking out..
"Well, what d'we have here?"
Five scruffy, dirty looking girls were walking towards them. A Mexican girl, an African American girl, a Chinese girl and two American girls. The African American girl carried the shovel behind her neck, her dark hands gripping the long stick firmly.
"Fresh meat." One of the American girls snorted. She had dirty blonde hair pulled back into a loose bun.
"Yeah." The Chinese girl gave them a mocking smile. "What are you rich prissy pretty boys doing in a no good dirty rotten pig stealing place like this?" Her friends laughed as she held out her hand and they slapped it.
Stanley blushed.
"Here to donate money?" The Mexican girl asked boldly. "Cause we don't need your charity."
"You'd betta watch what you're sayin'." X-Ray said testily.
"Who's gonna stop me?" She said. Her face turned to Zero. "Him?" Her friends snickered.
Zero looked down angrily and grinded his teeth together.
"Are you gonna tell us or not?"
"We're here to see Camp Green Lake again." Stanley said hesitantly.
"Oh yeah?" The red haired girl turned her nose up. "For what?"
"We used to go here a year ago. I thought they shut this place down and re- opened it as a girl's camp."
"Well duh." The black girl said. "Look around you, foo. See all the little girlies?" Her friends, once again, laughed.
The Mexican girl's eyes dashed around nervously. She nudged her friends and murmured something to them.
"Yo shut up, Sneaker!" The African American girl said for the millionth time. "They ain't the rumor!"
"They could be." The girl called Sneaker glared back at her.
"Lay off, Bugga." The Asian girl said.
"You shut up too, Yap."
"Stop bossin' me around." The girl called Yap said angrily. "You ain't the boss. You always acting like it, so stop before you bug the crap outa all of us!"
"She already did." The red haired girl murmured.
Bugga rolled her eyes.
"Come on." The Blonde haired girl said impatiently. "Let's bounce."
"Wait!" Stanley dashed in front of her. She glared at him. "Tell me why you're here. Or why she's making you dig."
"Why do you wanna know so bad?" She sneered.
"Just tell me."
"Don't tell me what to do." She pushed him roughly aside with a lot of force. Stanley staggered back and fell down.
Her friends followed her without glancing at Stanley.
"They think they're tough." Squid said looking back at them walk off while helping Stanley up. "But they're just scared little girls." He added loudly.
"I heard that!"
A canteen filled with water came flying towards Squid's head. His eyes widened as he saw it and he ducked quickly right before it hit him. It ended up hitting Magnet in the stomach, which threw him back into the sand laying face up.
"Magnet, you ok man?"
Magnet was unconscious.
"Just leave." The girls were back. "You don't belong here."
"And neither do you." Stanley said.
"Stop trying to suck up to us." Yap hissed. "You know why they sent us here? We did bad, bad things."
"Like stealing candy from seven eleven."
Armpit snickered as Sneaker glared at him.
Yap's eyes narrowed. "You take a bad girl, make her dig holes all day in the hot sun, and it turns her into a good girl."
"That's their theory here at Camp Green Lake." Rocky spat.
Giving the guys one last look, they turned and walked away.
"Who do they think they are, man?" Magnet said as he watched them disappear.
"I don't know." Stanley said. "But we've got to get to the bottom of this before it's too late."
