WELCOME! Yes, this chapter IS a bit forced. Oh well!
Ok, if you don't watch "Ed, Edd, and Eddy", you're going to need to know that Plank is a plank of wood this insane guy carries around.
And another thing! I don't have any idea how fast Sam can go with his powers, so I'm making him go REALLY fast in here! Mwah!
Ok, I have some important notes: This chapter may be odd. See, I was writing this while I was half asleep. I act... Strange when I'm half asleep. And I had my German music to add to it. And I was loaded on candy. Nehehe.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Ray's eye twitched for about the fifth or sixth time in this story as he failed to sleep. The New Recruits had stayed up at least an hour before Jamie came up with the idea of piling on top of each other to keep warm. And it wasn't like the idea was welcomed, either. It just wasn't right for a bunch of teenages to sleep on top of each other. So, in the end they all were cuddled in the center of the 'tent'. How cute...?
Anyway, Ray couldn't sleep. Bobby snored. Very, very loudly. And Scott was making strange sounds - Rahne identified them as something close to howling - in his sleep. Were his 'leader senses' going on the fritz or something? Ray certainly hoped not, otherwise he'd never be able to sneak Amara a kiss without Scott zooming to her rescue.
"Someone shut him UP!" Rahne suddenly yelled, making Ray jump. Surprisingly, no one else woke up.
"Which one?" Ray asked.
"I don't care! Either of them! Or both!" Rahne scooted over towards Ray so she didn't have to yell.
"I wonder if it'd be bad if I electricuted Scott..." Ray pondered for a few seconds. "Yeah... It wouldn't be a good idea to make Jean this time of the month."
"Too true..." Rahne sighed, but then had a sudden idea. "I could turn into a wolf and start howling and everyone'd wake up and they'd think wolves were attacking us!"
Ray blinked, "But wolves wouldn't - "
"IT WILL WORK."
Ray backed slightly away from Rahne, "Ok..."
Ray watched the maniac child turn into a wolf. He covered his ears as she started to howl insanely, and still the New Recruit children hadn't woken up. Eventually, Kitty stormed out of the girls' tent and Rahne changed back as quick as she could.
"What WAS that?!" Kitty screamed.
"Scott!" Rahne said, pointing at Scott who was still making sounds.
Ray grinned slightly, "Change your mind about the wolf idea?" he whispered.
"Yeah.... This way's more realistic AND more fun!" she whispered back.
"What are you two talking about...?" Kitty asked with a raised eyebrow.
"...The greatness of your muffins?" Ray grinned fakely.
Suddenly Kitty smiled overly huge and her eyes got all teary, "You're so SWEET!"
Ray grinned fakely again and scooted away from Kitty. There's been a LOT of scooting lately.
***
Roberto woke up with his head lodged in Bobby's armpit. He screamed and jumped about three feet back, gasping for air. Ray and Rahne looked up at him in amusement.
"I told ye it was a good idea," Rahne said.
"YOU two did this?!" Roberto pointed at them, and still, no one woke up at the sound of the yelling.
"No?" Rahne chuckled nervously and suddenly ripped the gauze which she DID still have on off and threw it on Roberto (did that make any sense...?)
"Ok then..." Roberto just pulled the gauze off.
"Don't kill us?" Rahne said.
"I won't. I'll just hurt you," Roberto tackled Ray. He tackles a lot of people.
"MAKE IT STOP!" Ray struggled under the insane Roberto.
As if on cue, the others FINALLY woke up!! At the same time!!
"What the hell?" Bobby asked lazily.
"HE'S MURDERING RAY!" Jubilee yelled with a grin.
"And you're HAPPY?!" Amara glared.
"Well not that he's MUDERING him... But look! A hot brazillian trying to punch out a hot New Yorker! This is the best entertainment EVER!" Jubilee grinned more. "I wish we had some popcorn!"
The other girls grinned in agreement and started watching intently. Sam, Bobby, and Jamie just stood there with blank faces, backing slightly away from the girls.
So then a rather awkward silence began as the two boys tried to kill each other. After a while, Scott woke up. And made sure everyone knew about it.
"LEADER... SENSES... TINGLING!" Scott struggled in the ropes that Kurt convieniently had in his bag. "LET ME OOOOOUT!!!"
And oh so chaotic things went. Scott continued screaming, Roberto got all powered up and was now being held back from murdering Ray by an insanely angry Amara, Sam was trying to break the tent open by crashing into it, and Bobby was trying to shake bombs out of Tabitha so he could open the tent. Eventually, Kurt came out of his tent and gasped. He opened the tent for the New Recruits, who piled out like chickens at feeding hour, then he untied Scott.
"I am NEVER becoming a teacher..." Kurt muttered as he walked away from the scene of everyone running around screaming about freedom.
***
"Ok, gang!" Scott looked out proudly at his servants -- er -- friends. He had finally recovered from going crazy. "We're going to do some fun activities!"
A loud groan was the responce.
"Why? It will be fun! Otherwise I wouldn't call them fun activities!"
"What are these 'fun activities'?" Bobby questioned, though he didn't exactly want to know.
"WELL!" Scott took a huge list out of his pocket that, when unrolled, touched the ground. Jubilee made a small 'eek' sound as she saw the size. Scott cleared his throat in a leaderly fashion. "First we have a scavenger hunt in pairs!"
"Oh goody!" Tabitha said so fakely it sounded real.
"See? Someone respects the art of fun activities!" Scott put an arm around Tabitha's shoulder.
"...Don't touch me," she said.
"Ok.." Scott moved back to his place in front of the group. "Get into pairs on the count of three! One... Two... Three!"
Instantly each person paired with their love interest of my choice. Meaning Ray and Amara were together, Sam and Rahne, Roberto and Tabitha, Bobby and Jubilee, Kurt and Kitty, and Rogue and Evan. And Jamie was with...Plank. Yes, I'm taking Plank out of a whole different show just for Jamie to have a companion. Isn't that nice of me?Jean and Scott were the 'leaders'.
Jean passed out little cards to the groups, "These cards have your clues. And each area you go to has enough clues for all of you. Are you all ready?" Jean looked around like a kindergarten teacher in front of students who were about to go collect trash for candy. The teenagers all nodded in return. Jean smiled a huge smile, "GO!"
Silence.
"Ok then! You just work out your clues!" Jean smiled nervously as her and Scott moved away from the group of scowling teenagers.
After Jean and Scott were gone, the others grinned and looked at each other.
"This'll be so much fun!" Bobby said.
"I know!" Ray replied.
"CLUESCLUESCLUESCLUES!" Jamie yelled, pointing at the piece of paper and looking at the plank of wood in his hand like it was stupid.
"...Is he ok?" Tabitha said to Amara.
"Let's just ignore him..." Amara replied as Jamie froliced off to the first spot.
All the sudden, everyone started glaring at each other. Because they WEREN'T one big team. NOW they were six teams - seven if you counted Jamie and Plank - against each other. This is where friendships would be ultimately tested.
Amara huffed and started pulling Ray into the woods, where they could work out their clue without certain OTHERS hearing them. The rest of the groups split up from there.
***
Sam stared at the piece of paper with the clue on it, as the wolf form of Rahne sat beside him. "This has to be a trick question," he said. "Scott and Jean aren't this stupid."
He received a questioning bark in reply.
"It says 'The first clue is big and blue, With a zipper and no kippers.' Well, now we know two things. The first place is back at the tent, and that Jean and Scott are REALLY bad at this. C'mon Rahne."
The two walked back off to the place they had just come from, and either they were the first ones, or the last ones. Rahne bounded over to the tent, and pulled out six papers. One group was there before them, but they could still hide the rest of the clues...
***
Amara burst into flames, "Ray! There are no clues here! This has to be the wrong spot!"
"Cool down... Bad pun sorry," Ray coughed. "This HAS to be the right spot. I bet some other groups just got here first and hid the clues."
"YES!" Amara started frantically searching the tents, when she finally found a single card, she grinned and nearly pounced on top of Ray.
"What's it say?!" he asked.
"Er... 'The next clue is as round as a balloon and as hard as a stone.' What the hell?"
"I know!!" Ray started pulling Amara towards the next clue. "It was that big round rock we saw on the way in like two miles up!"
"TWO MILES?!"
"Hmmm..." Ray grinned slyly as he saw Logan's motorcycle by the campsite.
***
Sam struggled to keep up with Rahne as the wolf sped through the forest at wolfish speeds (no duh!). Rahne had to stop and wait for Sam numerous times, but they still managed to keep a good pace. Or so they thought, until they saw Ray and Amara speeding by on Logan's motorcycle.
"NO!" Sam yelled. "EVIL!"
Rahne barked and the two of them ran off after the motorcycle.
***
Amara cackled and stumbled to the ground after stepping off the motorcycle. Ray stared at her and coughed.
"You might wanna get your balance first - "
"GET THE CLUE!" Amara screamed from the ground.
"OK!" Ray fumbled over to the clues. "Well this is stupid. All it says is to go back to where the first clue was to get the prize."
"Then hide the cards!!" Amara cackled again, and all the sudden Rahne and Sam caught up to them.
"We - got - you!" Sam panted.
Rahne turned back into a human and glared, not saying a word.
Ray looked helpless under the small girl's stare, "Ok! Let's go together and share the prize! Stop glaring! Please!"
Rahne grinned and nodded, "So share it is! But how'll we all fit on the motorcycle?"
"I know!" Ray grinned like a maniac.
***
Amara whined, "Hold on tighter!!"
Ray obeyed her comand. Amara was on Ray's lap, and Rahne was behind him. Sam was holding onto the back, about ready to launch the group towards camp. Rahne was really excited, but Amara was scared as hell.
"Is everyone ready?" Sam asked. "Hey... There's Kurt and Kitty!"
"THEN GO NOW!" Amara yelled, knowing that those two could easily have Kurt teleport them.
"Ok..." Sam shrugged and sent the four of them speeding off in the camp's direction.
It seemed like only seconds before the reached camp, and the motorcycle suddenly halted to a stop when Jean noticed that they never would if she didn't use her powers. Ray, Amara, and Rahne went flying off the top, and Jean held them up. Sam, though, ended up letting go and bouncing off a bunch of trees before coming to a slow stop right in front of Logan, who surprisingly laughed.
"It's funnier every time he flies off a motorcycle," Logan said.
Sam glared at Logan, but didn't say a word.
"DID WE WIN?!" Amara asked, still floating in the air.
"No. Fourth place for you and Ray. Jamie and that piece of wood got here first, then Kurt and Kitty. I'm just lettin' Sam and Rahne have a higher rank than you 'cause Sam gave me a laugh," Logan said.
"Do we get a prize?" Amara asked, with her lower lip quivering slightly.
Logan looked uncomfortable. His secret love to please the youngin's always showed when someone helpless begged. "Fine."
"YAY!" Amara grinned.
Jean clapped her hands together, causing Rahne, Ray, and Amara to bash together then fall to the ground. Jean ignored this and continued acting like a kindergarten teacher. "Ok! Next we're going to build houses with popcicle sticks! Get in groups of FOUR!!"
This didn't exactly work, as there were a total of 13 people. So they just decided on having one group have five people instead of four. SO the groups were Kurt, Kitty, Evan, and Rogue, Jubilee, Roberto, Tabitha, Bobby, and Jamie, and Ray, Amara, Rahne, and Sam. After the groups had divided into different areas for building their houses and had a rather large supply of five bags of popcicle sticks and three things of glue, Jean took out a whistle.
"Wow... I feel like I'm four..." Roberto said.
"Is everyone ready?!" Jean asked. Everyone nodded. "Ok!" Jean blew the whistle and the groups started ripping the bags open rapidly.
Bobby looked around his group. "What are we going to build?"
"A... MANSION!" Roberto said.
"NO! The Institute!" Jamie grinned.
"YEAH!" all five said at once, and they all began to work.
***
Rahne grinned and changed back into a human, "They're doing the Institute. So we're going to do it ten time's better."
"Ok... How do we do this?" Ray asked, tilting his head.
"Uhh... COPY THEM!" Amara said.
***
"Let's do a farmhouse," Kurt suggested to his group.
"Ok!" Kitty said with a grin.
Rogue looked over at the other two groups struggling to make copies of the Institute. "We're so gonna win this."
***
Jean and Scott coughed as they looked at the models. Amara, Ray, Sam, and Rahne's was caving in on the bottom. Bobby and friends' Institute was tilted all the way to the left, with the roof at an angle. Then of course there was the perfect little farmhouse made by Rogue, Evan, Kurt, and Kitty.
"Well... I think we know who won..." Scott said.
"AYEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
Everyone paused. And tried to find the person who made the noise. All the sudden Kaik, Kirka, and the chicken jumped out of a bush at Scott and knocked him down. The three began beating poor Scott, and Jean had to lift them up.
"Uhhh I think we should go home," Ray said. "That's the second time they've attacked us."
"Yeah then let's pack up..." Ororo said.
"I'll help!" Hank said, just because he needed a line.
***
The students stood in a line with their bags. And they indeed felt like kindergarteners. Especially with Jean and Scott there, leading the line and forcing them to say their names in syllables, clapping for each one. It was when Jean insisted that they sang the ABC song when the students went mad. Rahne turned into a wolf and ran off, Sam decided to follow. Amara burst into flames and tried to murder Jean, and Roberto tackled Bobby simply because he hadn't tackled him yet. Kurt was teleporting to random trees, dodging Jubilee's firecrackers. The two weren't exactly doing that for a purpose, but it sure was fun!!
By the time the chaos ended, Rahne and Sam were back, and glaring at each other. No one dared to ask what happened... They weren't sure that an angered wolf and a person who could crash into things were exactly safe to talk to. The adults took order, and they ended up having Rahne slung over Logan's shoulder, glaring at Sam.
The gang reached the cars, and loaded into the same places. Logan, Hank, and Ororo exchanged scared looks as they headed into the different cars. These children would be sooo fun to drive home with...

Ok sorry but I had to get them outa there. Next chapter they shall go to Fresh Choice!! And then they'll get lost, and I know where they'll go. It's...REALLY far away.
