The girls are woken up at 4:00 AM, as usual, and they were greeted by Cola's hyper voice, as usual.

"Come on, gals, time to get UP! You need to dig today!!!!!!!!" She turns to Moneybag. "how's your wrist doing?"

"Awful," Moneybag grimaced.

"Tsk, tsk. Now I know this will come as a BIG disappointment, but you simply can't dig today! I'm sorry!" Cola's voice was high pitched and she no longer seemed sober.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" Moneybag fake complained.

Once Cola's back was turned, Moneybag winked at the others, who grinned. Cola saw the grins.

"That's the SPIRIT! Go on out there and DIG! Go fight win!" Then she started to go too far. "Give me a C! Give me an A! Give me an M Give me a P! Give me a space! Give me a G......"

The girls all left, leaving Cola to finish her little cheer alone.

The boys were just woken up and didn't look to happy about it.

"Ohhhh I know that look. Cola woke you up!" Snake said with a smirk.

"Yeah. Is she drunk?" Armpit asked.

"I don't know. Hyper, yes. Drunk, possibly," Nite said.

"Oh, c'mon, Nite, you know Cola never gets drunk, she is just addicted to caffiene." Crazie replied.

"Yeah, but she's never been so. drunk."

"She's not drunk, Nite, just....... her extremely hyper self. I bet she had 4 caffinated drinks already." Snake-eyes said, as they started walking, the girls getting the same shovels the guys used, 5 by 5 foot.

"Where's Moneybag?" X-ray asked, looking around.

"Back at camp. She said she'd come and keep us company later on when the lunch truck came." Sneak replied.

"Why isn't she digging?"

"Because she's faking a sprained wrist." Snake said, as the girls started to dig.

"What? How can she do that?"

"Cola has a soft spot for girls in pain" Crazie said grinning.

"So she just faked it? Just like that?"

"Yup. We have a system, once a week, one of us fakes being in pain, and we get a day or two off, three if we're REALLY lucky."

"And she's really lucky."

"Yeah. This is her third day. When I first got here, there was a girl called Yelp, and she once got a week and a half off for faking being blacked out and in the process faking a sprained ankle from 'falling'"

"Wow. Good acting."

"Yup, she was named Yelp because she always yelped when it was her turn to fake hurt" Crazie said.

"Yep. Good acting."

The guys saw that Snake-eyes and Nite were digging, acting very concentrated both of them

"You guys are like Zero."

"They're a bit, well, competitive. Nite is determined to beat Snake-eyes in digging." Crazie explained.

"Snake's never beaten her though. They've been tying since Nite's first day," Tick added.

"You watch, they're going to tie again." Sneak added too.

"Always a tie," Tick said shortly.

"Not this time," Nite said through gritted teeth, shoveling dirt like a piece of super fast construction equipment.

The guys watched, and, as usual, they finished at the exact same time.

"I told you guys, you're never going to beat each other," Moneybag, who had showed up at lunch time, told Nite and Snake.

Snake jumped out of her hole, and grinned. "I know. It's good to try though"

"Yeah," Nite said, "'cause I'm gonna beat her someday."

"Naw. Not gunna happen. You'll ALWAYS tie, Nite," Crazie replied, laughing.

"I swear, one day, I WILL beat her."

"SURE ya will" Moneybag said, rolling her eyes.

"Exactly, I will." Nite ignored the sarcasm.

"Hello, Nite. Ever heard of SARCASM?????? Cus that was a good example of it" Crazie replied

"I have heard of sarcasm and I ignored your sarcasm because I will beat her one day."

Crazie just rolled her eyes. Snake looked at the guys. "You are SO lucky you only had to dig wimpy 5 by 5 foot holes."

"Hey, those were hard," Caveman said defensively.

"I would give anything to dig holes that are only 5 by 5 foot." Crazie said, a dreamy look suddenly on her face.

"Oh? You'd give, say, freedom from this wretched place?" Nite asked.

"Shut up. Nite, you know what I mean"

"Yeah, I do," Nite grinned, "but have you heard of sarcasm?"

"Yes. As a matter of fact, I DO"

Quite suddenly, a tall, strict-looking guy appeared from thin air.

"Now, children, sarcasm is NOT a good thing," he said monotonously.

"Mr. Bobson?!" Tick and Crazie asked incredulously.

"You KNOW this guy?!" Sneak asked.

"Of course they do," Squid said quietly. "I just haven't figured out why you're calling Zero Mr. Bobson."

"That is NOT Zero," Nite said, gesturing at the space where, or so it appeared to the guys, Zero was standing.

"That's Mr. Bobson," Tick said quietly. "Mr. Robert B. Bobson. The "B" stands for "Bob," of course."

Mr. Bobson walked over so he was standing where no one else was. "As I was saying, sarcasm is not something for you to use" He explained

"I'll use sarcasm when I want to, thank you very much," Tick said rebelliously.

"Detention, Anna," Mr. Bobson said to Tick. "And there will be more if you continue to use sarcasm."

Tick yelled. "NO DETENTION!!!!!!!!! AND I'M NOT ANNA!!!!!!!!!"

"I prefer for you to go by your own name. The one society will recognize you by when you leave this school. And you there, Shaina, please try to improve your grammar," Mr. Bobson said to Crazie. "You should have said "Yes, I have," not "Yes, I do." That is all, and I hope you think more carefully. This is own life that you have messed up and you must try hard to fix it yourself."

Right then, Mr. Bobson dissapeared.

"Woah. That was a weird one." Snake said, "Completely random"

"It wasn't," Crazie said quietly. "That was my old elementary school teacher. Third grade."

"Mine too," Tick said. "I was in your class."

"Oh yeah. I remember you now. Mr B. always told you to stop making rude comments to Steve and Mike."

"Yeah, and he was always saying you had bad grammar."

"Uh huh. Damn teacher"

"Yeah. He was a real pain in the ass."

Crazie looked at the guys. "What?"

The guys were staring at them like they were total morons. Totally insane morons. They looked awestruck.

Magnet finally spoke up. "Why were you shouting about detention and your old teacher?"

"Hallucination. HE WAS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tick yelled.

"We never had hallucinations," Zig-zag said, a bit worried that there were people here that seemed to be more insane than they were.

"It's something that just shows up after a while, and they're really weird, like the last one we had was a butler" Snake explained.

"Yeah, and Moneybag kept accusing it of crimes and listing off movies in which the butler did it," Nite grinned.

"You'll get them eventually" Crazie assured boys.

Not altogether reassured, the guys followed the girls back to the Wreck Room.

Snake sat down next to Silence again, for she was one of the only people who talked to her. Of course, Silence never talked back.

"Hey Silence" Snake said to the girl next to her.

Silence didn't respond. Just a small smile.

"How ya doin kid?"

Silence nodded slightly, signaling that she was fine.

"Other girls still pickin on ya at all?"

Silence nodded and looked down, sighing slightly.

Snake slung an arm around Silence, always being like an older sister to a lot of the girls, or a younger one.

Silence smiled. She liked having a friend.

"Hey, lil one, why don't you ever talk?" Snake asked, in what Silence knew was a kind voice.

Silence just shrugged.

"Have you ever talked?"

Silence nodded.

"Well, maybe sometime I'll be lucky enough to hear you speak" Snake said, ruffling Silence's hair.

Silence shrugged again.

"Someday." Snake says sighing. The guys came over to talk to Snake and the rest of the girls.

"Who's that?" Zero asked.

"That's Silence" Crazie replied.

The guys looked from Zero to Silence, then exchanged glances.

"Can you read?" Caveman asked.

Silence just shrugs, hating the feeling the guys were giving her.

"Does that mean no?" Zero asked.

Silence just shrugged again, burrying herself into the couch.

"You can't read, can you?"

Silence just shrugged once again.

"I couldn't read before. Caveman was the only one nice to me and he taught me to read. Maybe Snake can teach you to read."

Silence got up, fury etched into her face. She slammed her fist into Zero's arm, knocking him down. Then she sat down again, glaring furiously at the guys and even the girls.

"Hey, Silence, calm down" Snake says quietly.

"He seems to have touched a nerve," Zig-zag said nervously.

"No, ya think?" Snake asked hotly, then looked back at Silence, only to see that Silence had abandoned her seat. Zig-zag was the next one down.

Snake knew that if she didn't stop Silence, all the guys would soon enough be on the ground, so she took Silence's shoulders, and gently guided her out.

Tick ran after Snake. "Merciless torture," she hissed in Snake's ear.

"As soon as I finish with Silence" Snake hissed back.

(A/N: another long chapter. Ya like?

TalleyAnne: I really hoped u liked this one, we sure liked writing it.

Deadly Wisteria: Magnet's my fave too (says MissLKid) Zero's friend's fave.

About Mr. Bobson. Friend has an obsession with the name "Bob", mainly due to the fact that she can never think of decent names, especially last names and guys names.

That's all from us!
