A loud horn blasted. Courtni was used to this. She got up as fast as she could so she wouldn't get stuck out in the hot sun. She saw Magnet and ran over to him.
"Have you seen Caveman and Zero anywhere?" she asked. "I didn't see him last night in D-Tent."
"No, I haven't, maybe Grace of Evan knows." He said.
"Ok, let's go ch---" Court was interrupted by the voice of Mr. Pendanski.
"Time to go dig!" he called, after his usual short speech for the new kids.
"Alright, we'll ask them after we dig our hole." Magnet said. "Ok." Courtni said.
Grace had come to a decision. She did love Caveman. She told Evan and he was all for it. The next day, she was walking on the dry lake bed, looking around for Caveman. Where is he? she thought to herself. I don't see Zero either. Grace ran up to Courtni and Magnet.
"Hey guys!" she said.
"Hi!" said Court and Magnet.
"Have you guys seen Caveman and Zero around?" she asked.
"No. We were just going to ask you the same thing." Magnet answered.
"Hmmm. I wonder where they're at." Grace said, sounding worried. Court shrugged. Grace stayed worried all day as she dug her hole out in the hot sun. She was starting to think of all of the bad things that could happen to Caveman and Zero.
They were finally finished with digging their hole, but still not one sign of Caveman or Zero. Grace was starting to get more and more worried as time went on.
She went into the Wreck Room and watched Magnet, Courtni, Squid, Charm, and Evan play pool.
This time, Evan wanted to beat all of them by himself. Magnet and Court were on a team, Squid and Charm were on a team, and Evan was on his own team.
Then she saw Caveman and Zero walking together. Grace ran up to them.
"Where in this stupid dried up miserable nightmare could the both of you have run off to without someone seeing or hearing from you?!" Grace yelled, sounded furious because she worried over nothing. Zero looked at her like she was crazy.
"Are you feeling okay Grace?" he asked.
"What? What?? 'Am I feeling okay??' You guys have been gone, all day, and you ask me if I'm feeling okay?" she slammed herself down on the couch.
Everyone stopped talking. Squid stopped arguing with Evan about winning his game of pool. Even Zig-Zag stopped hounding X-Ray and Armpit about not wanting to watch TV with him. Twitch was still twitching, as usual, but he looked like his favorite car just got stolen.
"I-I-uh, I'm fine, you guys can go back to what you were doing." Grace said. Everyone instantly went back to normal, but Evan walked over to Grace, along with Caveman and Zero.
"Come on Evan! It's your shot!" exclaimed Squid. He sighed.
You, uh, you were that worried about us, Grace?" asked Caveman.
"Well, yes." She said.
"Grace. They're here now. Tell Caveman about what we talked about earlier." Evan said.
"You-you're sure?" Grace asked.
"Yes! If you really feel that way, tell him!" he said.
Grace grabbed Caveman's arm and brought him to the corner of the room where no one was sitting.
Evan walked over to everyone at the pool table and took his shot. "Do you want to be on my team, Zero?" Evan asked him. Zero's face lit up and he smiled and said, "Sure Evan! Thanks!"
"Caveman." Said Grace. He looked at her with eyes that looked like they were really listening. "Um. I, uh, I'm sorry about, last..night." She said.
"It's okay. I understand, you belong to Ev---"
"No! Caveman, no. I belong with Evan as a friend, a best friend. But I truly....belong to you."
"Have you seen Caveman and Zero anywhere?" she asked. "I didn't see him last night in D-Tent."
"No, I haven't, maybe Grace of Evan knows." He said.
"Ok, let's go ch---" Court was interrupted by the voice of Mr. Pendanski.
