A/N: Thanks for the positive feedback on Chapter 8, I appreciated it so much! I mean cuz that was one of my fav chapters, it's so nice to see that other people like what I like! So thank you ALL! I wuv you! hugs all reviewers.well except Um. who gave me a flame. But it's all good I'm continuing!!!! Guess what I won't let anyone bring me down! I'm just posting this story for my enjoyment, I bet all the characters are out of character and I probably screwed some stuff out like Um. so KINDLY pointed out. And yes Um. you are completely right, Zig's paranoid so he'd proly never even really TALK to anyone. But remember this is after the book, and the shower part. well my friend who wrote the chapter's obsessed with showers. And the helping dig part, yeah that would proly never happen, remember I myself didn't write that! Heh I like to defend myself don't I? Sorry. But it's for MAH enjoyment to write and if you like the idea of it, you can read! If you don't like it, don't fuckin read! I love positive reviews, I hate flames. Fuck flamers!!!!

Heh, this chapter is where things get more complicated/interesting. Also, Stanley is NOT in this fic, sadly it is after him, Twitch and Zero. I sorry Stanley/Zero/Twitch fans! hugs all Stanley/Zero/Twitch fans But they will have occansional flashbacks of this characters, so they are in Starseed in spirit!

Also, I was re-reading Holes, and it has come to my own attention that I've been spelling Zigzag wrong..it's Zigzag, not Zig-Zag. But I like the way I'm spelling it. I will continue that way, however if it really bugs ya, I'll change it.

Thanks reviewers!

The next morning I woke up with a goofy grin on my face for some strange reason as the horn blew.

"Good morning girl scouts!" Mr. Sir said sarcastically. "Today you get to dig out there!" he pointed somewhere far, far away from D-Tent.

"Where is he talking about?" I whispered to Tolkien, who in turn shrugged.

We all went to get our shovels, and Mr. Sir led D-Tent out quite a ways. We passed so many holes, I couldn't even begin to think how many blisters that was.

"You know, D stands for diligence," X-Ray muttered.

Finally we got to our spot, and dug in our usual pattern. I was between Zig-Zag and X-Ray. X-Ray was on the end of the line. Armpit was next to Zig-Zag. There was another line in front of us, which went Magnet, Tolkien, Squid and Flash. My hands were now used to digging, and they had gotten really tough over the past week or so. It went well for the first hour. No hot sun, so I didn't really need my water. Good, I could save some for later.

Then things got good.

I heard a gasp from my left, and then some muttering. Must be Zig's paranoia acting up again (he was on my left). My poor babeh! (A/N I love this word I took it from someone's story.isn't it a cuu word?) I got out of my hole, which wasn't really deep, and went over to see him.

"Hi honey!" he said happily, waving me over. Good, his paranoia must have settled down. "Look! I might have found something!"

I hopped into his hole and looked. There was something dusty, but it looked to have a pinkish color. From what I saw of it, I took it to be a box.

"Zig.you found something!" I shrieked, giving him a huge hug.

"Yeah," he said. "Think I'll get the day off?"

"I don't know!"

"Let's dig it out!"

"Lemme get my shovel!"

We were really excited by now. Luckily, hobbit boy wasn't around, and neither was Mr. Sir. I went, grabbed my shovel, and came back.

"Let's dig!" he said excitedly, and we dug.

I am going to be in so much trouble later on for not digging my hole.

It didn't take too long to dig the box out. When it came out, I held it up.

"You found something you found something you found something!" I shrieked.

"WOO HOO!" he let out a whoop, picked me up and spun me around. It was so great, just a moment of spastic happiness. Now how much trouble will I get in?

Oh well, who gives a shit? We were happily squealing about some box, and I was sure everyone else was wondering what the fuck what going on. He put me down after a bit of spinning and pulled me in for one of those big, slopping, dizzy, spastic, happy kisses. We pulled away smiling.

"I wonder what's in there?" I asked, pointing to the box. We sat down in his hole to examine it. I sat on his lap, and the box rested on mine.

Then his paranoia decided to kick in.

"It could be a suicide journal. Or a bomb or a steak knife with dried blood on it or. . . . ."

"Ziggers, you act so paranoid sometimes,"

"That's because he IS paranoid," Squid jumped into Zig's hole, along with Flash. Luckily Zig had made his holes pretty wide.

"AHH! Squid, Flash, what are you doing here?" I yelled, and saw a smiley Squid and Flash.

"You found something. We heard noise, squeaking. So we decided to check it out," Squid said, in a duh-matter.

"So what did you fiind?" Flash crooned.

"A box," Zig-Zag said plainly.

"What's inside it?" Squid prompted.

Me and Zig-Zag shrugged.

"Well, open it!" Flash said huffily. "Maybe it'll have some film! I need new film for my camera."

"I'm not sure," Zig-Zag said. "What if Mr. Sir sees? He might think we've got bombs or a gun or something."

"And what if Mr. Sir sees Tinkerbell sitting on your lap?" Flash laughed. "Come on, Zig! He won't like what you're doing now, but he'd love the box!"

"If he sees," Zig-Zag said sternly.

"You know, I have an idea," Squid said. "We can take the box back to D-Tent and look in it after we finish our digging. That was, we find out what's inside and don't get into trouble!"

"Uh, okay," I said. "But who'll take it?"

"Me," Zig-Zag said, eyes wide. "I found and, and I have the most self- control, anyway."

We all snorted, remembering last night's events. But Zig got to bring the box anyway. Just then, we heard the water truck coming! Aw shit. Me, Flash and Squid practically leaped out of Zig-Zag's hole. It took me a bit longer than the other two cuz I had the box on my lap, plus I was on Zig's lap. But we finally all scrambled to our holes and pretended we were digging. Mr. Sir is so going to kill me for slacking!

"Dude, waterrrrr!" Armpit yelled. He always told us when the water was coming. Armpit likes water.

We all ran over to the water truck in the lineup.X-Ray first, then Armpit, then Squid, then Tolkien, then Magnet, then Zig-Zag, then me, and Flash was last. Mr. Sir was driving, and he spoke to me and Zig-Zag when it was my turn.

"Aw, look, the happy couple wants some of my happy water," Mr. Sir said smugly. "Here you go, you will be even more in fuck if you have happy water." He took my canteen and held it by the water spout. I noticed it wasn't directly underneath the spout...what was he doing? He let the water pour out onto the ground. "Aw, Tinkerbell, it doesn't look like my happy water likes you. Poor Tinkerbell, she will be thirsty all day. You can always drink his saliva." My eyes bugged out. Sick! Bastard! Why was he doing this? "Bye bye, girl scout." He waved me off, and I went to my hole, in shock.

I wiped the nervous sweat off my forehead and got back to digging.
