The camp still smelled the same, but the green water was gone, and there were cheerleaders, not excited campers, running around.

Gil was settling into the bunk he was sharing with Ron and Josh. He didn't like either of them, Ron was naive and Josh had a million girls, including Angelica, clinging onto him.

"So who gets the top bunk," Ron asked.

"I do," Gil said sternly.

"Now look man," Josh said, "Don't treat us like crap......."

Josh was cut off by Gil's fist smashing into his face, blood was everywhere, and Josh was screaming. Suddenly Angelica burst in.

"WHAT HAPPENED," she yelled, "GIL, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?"

"Nothing," he tried to explain, "I............."

"SHUTUP," Angelica shouted.

Angelica grabbed Josh's arm.

"Come on Josh," Angelica soothed him, "I'll take you to the infirmary."

After Angelica left, Gil sank down on the floor and began to sob uncontrollably. Ron could only stare as his foe began to pour out the whole sad story. That's when Ron could speak.

"Here's my plan," Ron said, the rest he whispered into Gil's ear.

At 5:00 a note appeared on Angelicas doorstep.

Dear Angelica,

I'm feeling much better and have something to talk to you about. Meet me at the lake in one hour.

Love, Josh

Angelica smiled and put the note on her dresser, pulling on a black mini skirt and a pink halter top, brushing on some blush and other makeup, and jamming her feet into her boots, she set off for the lake.

~*~*~*~*~*

When Angelica arrived, she discovered that only Gil awaited her.

"What are you doing here," she asked, "I don't love you."

"But I love you."

"Where's Josh."

"There is no Josh."

"How could you........."

He covered her mouth with his hand.

"I have something to show you."

Gil began to walk toward the lake, immersing his body in the water, he felt the same sensation of scales growing. He picked himself out of the water, and after seeing Angelicas shocked experience, he took a pill out of his pocket, and after popping it In his mouth, he turned human again.

"What, How, Who," Angelica stammered.

Gil launched into his story, tears pouring down his face as Angelica discovered that she had made the wrong descision.

"I'm sorry Gil," she said.

"Its fine."

"If I can ever make it up to you............"

"Kiss me."

At that request Gil fitted his lips over hers and passionately began to kiss her into the night.
