"EVERYBODY UP NOW!!! RISE AND SHINE!!!" the voice of Hercule boomed through the clearing for the millionth time in the past day, waking up most of the teens in their tents.

Reez and Tobun woke up with a start, sitting up straight, wondering what that horrible noise was, waking them up at the unearthly hour of 6:00.

They exchanged a rather annoyed glance across the tent, and noticed that Kara was still asleep.

Reez's annoyed look soon changed to a smirk as she reached over to shake Kara awake.

"Not yet, mom, gimme another five minutes" she moaned, her voice muffled by her pillow.

Tobun gained a smirk identical to Reez's and she gave Kara a shake from her side.

Kara pulled out her pillow and with her eyes still tightly shut, she started hitting Tobun with it.

Reez grabbed her discman and put the headphones on Kara and turned the music on...loud.

Kara's eyes popped open and she sat up straight, gasping. She quickly pulled the earphones off and gave Reez and Tobun, who were laughing hard, dirty looks.

"Sorry, but I couldn't resist" Reez said in-between laughs.

"Yeah, ha ha, very funny" Kara grumbled and grabbed some clean clothes from her bag.

Reez pulled her blue tank top and baggy jeans out of her bag and pulled them on, along with her shoes and socks, then she pulled her long blonde hair into a high ponytail.

Tobun pulled on a black t-shirt and jeans and left her hair out.

They waited for each other to finish changing and then they all left the tent at the same time.

When they exited the tent, they met saw Gohan over the other side of the clearing. He was talking with two girls, one with red shoulder-length hair and the other with long black hair with blue streaks.

The three girls made their way over to where the other three were.

"Mornin' Gohan" Reez greeted "Who're your friends?"

"Mornin' guys" Gohan said "This is Chelsea and this is Jade" he indicated to each of the girls, then introduced them to Chelsea and Jade "I met Chels last night in the forest"

"Hi" Jade said

Chelsea turned and looked at Reez, Tobun and Kara, "I've got the coolest plan, you want in?"

"Sure" Reez said

"Yeah" Kara said

"Cool" Tobun agreed

Chelsea nodded slightly and motioned for them to huddle in so she could explain her plan.

Hercule came stomping out of someplace in the woods, flipping a small capsule in one hand, his trusty megaphone ready to be used at a second's notice in the other.

He reached the clearing, only to find that most of the teens were still in their tents and only a few were out, he fumed. If they didn't listen to the World Champion, they would pay.

He turned to one of the camp leaders, standing a few metres away from him, who looked like she was deep in thought.

"Hey" he called in his gruff voice "Get these kids in order" he commanded.

The girl, whose name-tag said Sylver, turned to Hercule and gave him a funny look, but obliged.

"Yea, whatever" the red-haired girl said. She took a deep breath "EVERYONE GET YOUR BUTTS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" she yelled, louder than Hercule could manage, even with the megaphone.

No sooner than the command had been given, people started pouring out of the tents, assembling in the clearing.

Sylver turned to Hercule and gave him a rather self-satisfied smile, then went back to thinking why she had actually signed up for this camp in the first place.

Hercule ignored the look that the girl had given him. He turned to address the gathering group of teens.

"We will have breakfast in a few minutes and then we will start on the next 100km of our journey" he yelled through the megaphone "Line up over there and get your breakfast from the leaders over there"

He returned the megaphone to his dimensional pocket and stood in his spot, looking quite satisfied that he'd got the teens under control for once.

Gohan made his way quickly to the line. He was really hungry and he really wanted food. Last night's snack seemed like an eternity ago and he was well-ready for another feed.

He finally (after about 2 minutes) reached the start of the line and he grabbed a bowl and poured heaps of cereal into it, heaping it rather high, gaining a strange look from the camp leader, but he ignored it. He poured on some milk, grabbed a spoon and a few pieces of toast before he went to sit down on the log.

Soon his friends (same group as the night before, plus Chelsea and Jade) joined him.

Most of the group had the same reaction to the breakfast food as the dinner food. The cereal was unidentifiable and the toast tasted like it was at least a few weeks old, if not more.

Most of the food ended up in the bush behind them, bar Gohan's, as he went up for many servings like the night before. Which gained him many strange looks, and not just from his friends.

The next hour was spent packing up the tents and getting their stuff ready to begin the next leg of their journey.

Finally, the great hairy one...aka Hercule, announced, via the megaphone, that they were leaving. He started up the track, which was the beginning of their next 100m.

About five minutes up the track, Tobun pulled a large packet of M&M's out of her bag and offered them around the group, saying that they were purely for energy. Yea, sure. Well, whatever the reason, the group didn't argue and enjoyed snacking on M&M's for a while longer.

"Hey Chels, when are we gonna put that little plan into action?" Tobun asked the blue-eyed girl walking at the edge of the group.

"Well, I was thinking when we get to the next stop, but it could wait for another night" Chelsea said "But it's really up to you guys"

"Anytime's good enough for me" Reez said, "I can't wait"

An hour up the track and only Reez, Tobun, Gohan and Kara were still going strong, the others had dropped back a bit. Reez was listening to her discman, walking in time with the music. Tobun was borrowing Reez's walkman and Kara had her own discman. Gohan was using his Saiyan hearing to listen to the music from Reez's discman, as she was walking next to him. She was listening to Creed, and she was singing along to the songs again.

He turned his attention to the nagging feeling that he was getting that something not so good was gonna happen. He wasn't sure what it was warning him about, but he could feel that something was not going to be right.

He ignored the feeling again and pushed it to one side to deal with later.

Author's Notes: Sorry about the short chapter...I really am. But I couldn't think of anything else to put and I didn't really want to ruin the story by putting stupid stuff in. Well I hope you liked the chapter. Sorry if I didn't put you in the chapter, I'll try and get everyone in by the end of the story, which is a long way to go yet, so don't worry. Thanx to everyone for reviewing.

Another reason why it's short is because I wrote this all in the space of like 2 hours and part of those 2 hours, my dad made me wash the car...grrr!

Anyway, I decided to write it because I was in a good mood cause my soccer team won the championship today!!! Yay! That means we're the strongest team in the 17th grade!!! But it also means that we don't have many games left =( !!!

And I'm really really really really really really really really times infinity sorry if I didn't put u in this chapter, I'll try and put everyone in as soon as I can…please accept my humblest apologies from the bottom of my heart. (Ugh, that sounds realllly weird!)

Well, enough about me, you guys will want to review, won't you??? Well, you better go do it now hadn't you?

Laterz!!!
