A hand grabbed hers just before she was about to hit the bottom of the
hole, and she could hear the hissing of the lizards below her. As she
looked up, she saw it was Squid who had came to her rescue ( A/N: IT SHAL
BE SQUID!!! BECAUSE I SAY SO THAT'S WHY!!!!!!!). She smiled gratefully, and
Squid returned the smile. Magnet who was leaning over the hole also gave
Bleach and Squid the dirtiest looks imaginable. Once Bleach's feet were on
solid ground, the events that had just happened hit her. Tears welled up in
her eyes, and she didn't dare stop them. Some times you just need a good
cry, you know? Squid comforted her all the way back to camp, where the bus
was just arriving.
Bleach walked out of the tent wiping her eyes, and Squid even let her put on his hat (A/N: BOOYA!!!!!), just s a girl was jumping off the bus. Even though the girl's back was facing her, she could tell who it was, because of the girls black shirt and jean pants. "Mykalanne?!" she yelled, the girl turned around staring in Bleach's general direction, and when she caught sight of Bleach she ran over "SAMMY!!! Ohmygosh!!!! I can't believe it's you!!!" ( A/N: and yes, Mykalanne also is the name of the cheetah person, but hey, they're best friends) Mykalanne ran up to her and gave Bleach a tight hug. "OH!!! It's been a WHILE!!!" Said Bleach, pulling away from Mykalanne. "How did you get here?" "Oh, I stole Spencer's Boxter, and you know how his mom gets," Said Mykalanne blushing. "Hey, don't I get a hug?" asked a voice behind Mykalanne. Bleach cocked her head to the side and walked around Mykalanne, only to see her boyfriend, Manny. "MANNY!!! OHMYGOSH!!!!" Screamed Bleach as she ran towards Manny, jumping into his arms, and planting a kiss on his cheek. Mykalanne looked at the boy Sammy had walked out of a tent with. His face was bright red as he watched Manny and Bleach. When he spoke, his voice was a little shaky "So, Bleach, I guess you know these guys," He said, looking at Mykalanne, who smirked at him. "Who is Bleach?" asked Mykalanne, Sammy jabbed her thumb into her chest, and Mykalanne nodded. "Ok, yeah, I know these guys," Said Bleach. " That's Mykalanne," she said pointing to her best friend. The boy had to repeat her name a few times to get it. "No, Squid, Mykalanne, not Myka-anne," said Bleach as Mykalanne flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder, and adjusting her glasses. "Oh," Said Squid, "O.K." He held out his hand to Mykalanne for her to shake, " I'm Squid," He said, but Mykalanne just stared at his dirty hand and looked at Squid with her hands in her pockets, one brow raised, her face saying Do you expect me to touch that? She looked at Bleach, who raised both brows, and reluctantly Mykalanne shook Squids hand. "And this," Bleach said, leading Manny forward by the hand, "Is my boyfriend, Manny." Manny held out his hand for Squid to shake, but Squid merely scowled, looking at the ground. Mykalanne and Bleach looked at each other with raised brows as Manny shoved his hand back into his pocket. From behind the Wreck room walked out Magnet, X, Armpit, Zigzag, and Barfbag. Zero was not present, as he had been done with is hole a long time ago, and was probably asleep in the tent. "Hey! Lookit!" Shouted Zigzag running over and standing in front of Mykalanne. "Another girl!" He yelled, and Mykalanne raised a brow. Zigzag started to giggle at how much this new girl and Bleach looked alike, even though they were probably not related, they both had olive skin, blonde hair, and were the same height. Mykalanne had glasses and green eyes, and Bleach had blue eyes. Ziggy's giggling made Mykalanne raise her brow higher, and when Zigzag over came his giggle fit, he winked at Mykalanne (A/N: BOOJYA!!!), to which Mykalanne gave him a confused look. "Hey Ziggy," said a Boy with thick glasses, walking up to him. " Who is this?" Ziggy shrugged and continued giggling and walked off, throwing his shovel in a big heap. Mykalanne turned to Bleach with her eye brows raised and looked at her friend over her glasses. Bleach just laughed, putting a hand on Manny's shoulder for support. Squid scowled again, and 2 seconds later, Mykalanne threw her arms up in the air yelling "WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE???" snapping X-Ray out of a trance staring at the ground. "Oh! Sorry, lemme introduce the guys," Said the boy with glasses. " I'm X- Ray, that's Squid, but you knew that, the boy who was staring at you was Zigzag, and these are Magnet, Armpit, Caveman, and the person who isn't here is Zero, but he never talks." X-Ray said. Mykalanne nodded, and started to hum 'All the lonely people' By the Beatles. She closed her eyes and walked backward, still humming, stopped about 30 yards away. With her eyes still closed, she straightened up like a soldier, smiling to her self as she remembered Susan and Deidre practicing that for Band class. She started walking foreword, completely forgetting where she was, thinking she was back at school; marching with her friends. She ran smack dab (A/N: I love saying that) into Squid. Quite startled, her eyes jerked open, just as something shiny went flying threw the air. Her hand flew to her neck, and her eyes widened. "MY RAIN!!!!!!!!" she screamed darting forward past Squid, desperately grabbing for the glinting object, which was falling fast. "Oh, no," whispered Manny and Bleach simultaneously. They knew how important Mykalanne's rain was. It had been a gift from her grandma, who had gotten it from her mother, who had gotten it from HER mother, who had set out a small vile out over during a rain storm, put the vile on a chain, and wore it till the day she died. A blurred figure rushed past her and it's hand closed around the rain. Zigzag held up the rain to the sun, squinting as the sun glinted through the glass. "This yours?" he asked, swinging the vile gently from the chain. "Yeah, gimme it!" She shouted swiping for her rain. Zigzag smirked and held it higher. "Jump for it," He said softly. She smirked at him, apparently he didn't know that she could jump and hit the top of a self that was twice as tall as her. So she jumped. But unfortunately so did Zigzag. "Gimme it!!!" She yelled, in a pleading way. "Gimme a kiss and I'll give you your." His voiced trailed off, as he stared at the rain. "It's rain," she said folding her arms. "Okie, gimme a kiss and I'll give you your rain," He said, smiling. Mykalanne shifted her weight to one leg and gave Zigzag the scary-stare. Manny and Bleach cracked up, because they knew how much the stare scared the other kids at school Mykalanne stared at Zigzag over her glasses, not moving, not blinking. The most she had ever done the scary-stare for was 2 minutes, but she knew she could go longer. Bleach and Manny laughed for 3 ½ minutes, holding their sides, and quieting when they saw Zigzag had not cracked.
"Dang," whispered Manny. No one, even Robert, a boy who frequently pissed Mykalanne off, had ever lasted that long (A/N: Robert does exist. Unfortunately). They watched as Mykalanne's vision darted to her rain, which was still being held up high by Zigzag. Bleach gasped.
"What?" asked a voice beside her, and she turned to see Squid.
"She can't do that," Whispered Bleach in amazement.
"Do what?" asked Squid
"When her eyes moved, she broke, soon she be blinking a lot to make her eyes not hurt any more," explained Bleach. Soon enough, Mykalanne started blinking, shaking her head in defeat.
"Hah, I win," Said Zigzag, smiling broadly. " Now you have to kiss me." Mykalanne rolled her eyes, and jumped for the rain. But Zigzag was a good 6 feet, and his arm was out of reach, even if she could hit a self twice as tall as her, that's all she could hit, and Zigzag's height plus his arm was more than twice her size. She couldn't reach the rain. As her feet landed on the ground, she shrugged and walked away, turning her back to everyone so they couldn't see the tears welling up in her eyes.
"Mykalanne!" Bleach yelled running after her friend. When she caught up to her, she put a hand on her shoulder and tried to comfort her. " Hey, don't worry, we'll get the rain back!" she said smiling weakly; but Mykalanne refused to look at her. Bleach didn't know why until she saw a pearl sized drop of water fall to the ground.
"Oh, no," Whispered Bleach. She had been there when Mykalanne had vowed never to cry again, not until her cat died, and her cat was still alive and kickin' ( A/N: I love saying that too.). Bleach ran back over to Zigzag who was still cursing under his breath, they other boys talking about the event that just happened. Mykalanne could hear Bleach yelling at Zigzag, and Zigzag yelling back, but when Bleach returned she was empty handed.
"He wont give it back until you kiss him," she said, an angry scowl on her face.
Mykalanne shrugged, "Sometimes you've gotta do without," she said wiping her eyes. Bleach remembered Mykalanne saying that the day she stopped sucking her thumb.
"I remember the last time you said that you gave up something you really loved for good," Bleach whispered. Mykalanne nodded.
"As long as I know where it is, I'll be fine," she assured Bleach. " I'll just be staring at Zigzag's pocket a whole lot of the time." Bleach laughed, as this was the first step to Mykalanne's usual recovery, making people laugh.
"Hey, this reminds me of the one song you kept obsessing over at the one place," Bleach said, sitting down, not remembering the song or place (A/N: I used to do that all the time I would say, "mom, do you remember that one time we went to that one place, and you did that one thing?" when I meant to say, " Mom, do you remember that one time, when we went to Knott's and you threw up on a ride?" but my Mom would always say, "I have no idea what you're talking about.")
"Oh yeah, I remember, we where staying in a hotel by an orphanage, and I would look out the window, and there would be these little kids playing, and I would start singing the one rain song, and it was really cool, cause every time I would sing, it would start to rain, and the kids had to go inside, and I don't think I ever finished the song, but I knew all the words," Said Mykalanne, also sitting, recalling putting her head against the window and singing.
"Do you still remember the words?" asked Bleach.
"But of course!" said Mykalanne with and English accent. "Do you?"
Bleach nodded, " But you're still singing the long part." Mykalanne laughed, "Because we all know you can't." Bleach laughed, as a hat fell off her head. "Oh! Squid's hat! I forgot! Hold on I'll be right back," Said bleach jamming the hat back on and getting up. "Okie, but tell Manny to cover his ears!" yelled Mykalanne after her. "You still that loud?" Bleach asked. "You bet your butt!" Laughed Mykalanne, standing up. She watched Bleach run over to the boys, and hand Squid his hat, and yell something at Manny, who cocked his head to the side, looking at Mykalanne, who nodded crazily, raising her arms in triumph. Manny's hands flew to his ears, as did Bleach's. Mykalanne drew in breath until her lungs hurt. She lifted her face to the sky and screamed, "RAIN, GARSH DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!" at the top of her lungs, making every one who wasn't covering their ears practically fall over from surprise. Mykalanne fell over laughing when she saw Squid, X-Ray, and Zigzag's faces. People started staring out of their tents, only to see a girl laughing hysterically on the ground. Mykalanne started to cry from pure joy, and opened her eyes to see a blurry Bleach & Manny laughing also.
Bleach wandered over to Mykalanne, still laughing, and had to choke out the words, "Before. You do that thing. you should. go get changed" Gasped Bleach between laughs, tugging at her orange jumpsuit incase Mykalanne didn't get the message. Mykalanne nodded, and wandered over to Mr. Sir's office. Still laughing, Mykalanne at her clothes and pointed to the boys in orange jumpsuits, and Mr. Sir understood, and led Mykalanne to a small room, filled with jumpsuits and boots, Mykalanne couldn't laugh anymore, her sides felt like they were going to burst. "What's your size?" Asked Mr. Sir, no bothering to ask why she was laughing, he had heard her yell, as did the whole camp, except for the Warden, because she was away on business. "Medium, Mr. Sir," Said Mykalanne clutching her sides. Mr. Sir threw a jumpsuit at her, which she barley caught. "Shoes?" Asked Mr. Sir. "Boys or Girls?" Asked Mykalanne, knowing both. Mr. Sir raised an eyebrow at her; it was only too obvious. "Eight and a half," Mykalanne sighed, ducking as a pair of shoes grazed her head. "Geezez." she murmured as Mr. Sir left. She pulled on the shoes, and the jumpsuit. Only putting it on halfway and tying the sleeves around her waste. She left on her black tank top because she does not like the color white. She opened the door to the room that led out side. And tripped. Over a foot. Zigzag's foot. "HEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" she squealed as the ground grew closer to her face. She was jerked up as a hand tightened around her wrist. She straightened up, and tried to wrench her wrist free from someone's grip she whirled around and glared at the person in the face. It was Zigzag. She should have known. She narrowed her eyes to slits and glared at him full power. Then she blew some hair out of her face, distracted for like, a second, as she watched her hair float back to its position. Crossing her eyes, she glared at her accursed hair. She was jerked forward, hard. It was Zigzag again. He had pulled her forward, still leaning against the wall. Zigzag smirked at her wide eyes as she stumble forward. She backed up, and glared at him. He did it again, and started to make Mykalanne mad. So it was like this: Tug, stumble, laugh, glare, back up, repeat. They repeated this until Mykalanne started to yell at Zigzag, " Let me go!" she yelled. "You're pretty when you're mad," Zigzag said, cocking his head to the side. Mykalanne rolled her eyes at him and walked over to the wall, within arm distance of him, of course. She slid down the wall and waited for him to let go of her wrist. They sat there (or stood, in Zigzag's case), and sat/stood, and it must have been a couple of hours before Mykalanne started feeling drowsy, thinking of stories she could write, until she nodded off to sleep. "Oy! Mykalanne, what is taking y-" Bleach stopped running up to the building and stopped talking when she saw Zigzag looking at the sky, and holding Mykalanne's wrist. Squid walked up behind her and froze at the same sight. "Ziggy, what are you doing?" Asked Bleach, slightly alarmed. "Watching, waiting, holding Blaze," he said glancing down at Mykalanne, who was asleep against the wall, her head tilted, and glasses fallen in her lap. "Blaze?" asked Squid. Zigzag pointed to Mykalanne. "That's Blaze," he said. And continued to look at the sky. "What are you looking at" asked Bleach, also looking up at the sky. "Blaze said that penguins were coming, and heat beam eyed pigs would be their allies, and then she just kept saying ' blaze. blaze. blaze.'" Zigzag said, tilting his head, and squinting at the sky. Bleach almost burst out in laughter, " No, Ziggy, that's just her recurring dream, She always dreams that penguins will come to take over the world and heat beam eyed pigs would be their allies. And all we would have to protect our selves would be 5 iron golf clubs. How long ago did she say the thing about the penguins?" Bleach asked, flicking a strand of hair over her shoulder. "300 seconds, 3 minutes," He said tilting his head to the other side. "Ah, I see," Bleach said smirking, " Then she should be waking up right." Zigzag stopped looking at the sky and looked at Bleach. " About." Zigzag looked at Myka- Blaze. "Now." Immediately after Bleach said 'Now' Blaze sat up, gasping. "Welcome to the real world, Blaze, where heat beam eyed pigs do not exist," Said Bleach, and made a big fake bow. Blaze grimaced, " I did it again? Oh, well," she said shrugging. " And did you just call me Blaze?" "Yes, yes I did," Said Bleach, smiling broadly. "Help me up, please," Said Blaze sleepily, she reached out her hand to Bleach, but Zigzag pulled on her other arm, pulling her up. When she was standing upright, Zigzag made her face him, " Do you still want your rain?" He asked. Blaze looked at Bleach with fear in her eyes as to what Zigzag would do if she said no. Bleach, however, gave a slight nod. Blaze turned back to Zigzag and said, " Some times you have to do without," and she felt Zigzag's grip slightly loosen on her hand, she pulled it away, and started to walk towards Bleach and Squid. Just when she reached the group, she heard Zigzag start to talk. "Fine," he said, and Blaze turned around, to see him pull out her rain on a chain, and slip it over his head. He was wearing her rain. She darted forward, and Bleach grabbed her arm. "Calm DOWN!" She yelled, but Blaze was strong, and wrestled against her grip. "A little help here!" she said, turning to Squid, who grabbed Blaze's other arm. "Holy pepperoni on a purple cow," Whispered Bleach. What had this girl been doing while she was gone? She was a lot stronger than she remembered. Blaze stopped struggling, and breathing hard was led to her tent. "You in D-tent?" Asked Bleach. Blaze nodded, a very, very angry expression on her face. They grabbed her duffle (A/N: Mr. Duffle is evil.) bag, and carried it to her tent. She found an empty cot next to Bleach's, with an empty crate lying beside it. She unzipped her duffle bag, and heard a faint mewing in her bag. Having no idea what the hack the noise was, she dug through her clothes and other belongings, to find her cat, Sunflower. "SUNNY!" She practically screamed. She lifted up the cat, which was panting. Blaze had only seen her pant once before, and it was sitting in a turned off car. "OY! BLEACH!!!" Blaze yelled, walking out of the tent with carrying Sunny like a baby. "What?" Asked Bleach walking up with Manny not far behind. "I have a stow away," Blaze said grinning, as Bleach's gaze fell on Sunny "Hey Sunners!" She said walking up to pet the cat. "What's this about stowaways?" Said a voice behind Blaze. She turned and it was the guy she had seen X-Ray call Mom. "We don't need anymore trouble makers than we already have!" he said wagging his finger, making them all laugh. "Naw, Mom, not a person," said Blaze turning all the way around. "A cat!" "Oh! Kitty!" Mom clapped walking towards her, and scratching Sunny behind the ears. "I'll go ask the Warden for a leash and collar!" He said, practically skipping to the Warden's cabin, and making all three of the double over in laughter. They wandered around, letting people pet the cat, and talking to the other D-tenters. Manny went to go unpack in C-tent, and Blaze and Bleach felt like taking naps. When they walked into the tent, they found a collar and leash on Blaze's cot, along with a bowl of water, and a bowl of left over dinner next Blaze's cot. Blaze slipped the collar and leash onto Sunny, and tied one end of the leash to one of the poles that supported the tent, and the leash was so long, it could reach any cot in the tent, but could not go outside. Bleach sat down at her cot and started to draw, and Blaze watched her for a couple of minutes, and then yawing, went over to her cot, because even though she had just recently woken up from a nap against a wall, dreaming about penguins and pigs makes you more tired then you were when you fell asleep.
Bleach woke up to see Zigzag sitting on his cot, petting Sunny who was purring lightly. Bleach leaned up on her elbows, " Hey," she said quietly, not wanting to wake up Blaze. "Hi," Ziggy whispered, still staring at Blaze. " Why is she crying?" Bleach snapped her head to look in Blaze direction, to see tears silently falling from her face. "Ah," Bleach said. " She's either having the dream where this one girl gets hanged and she doesn't know why, or the dream were a boy we now named Spencer is a vampire, or the one where these freaky guys from Buffy the vampire are chasing her, and if that is the dream she'll wake up right when they kill her, or the dream were these mean people kill her friend, a big golden metal dragon guy thingy, or she's having the dream where she commits suicide." Zigzag eyes widened at the mention of the last dream. "How did she kill herself?" "She told me she jumped in front of a truck because in the dream her parents abandoned her and her sister and brother. They would never really do that though," Bleach said, glancing over at Blaze every now and then, smirking when she stitched her eyebrows and started to blush. "Ah, that'll be the dream with Spence then," she said, flomping back onto the bed, folding her arms. "What happened in that dream?" asked Zigzag eagerly. "She made me promise not to tell," Bleach said as Blaze started to giggle. " Any moment now." Bleach tilted her head up to look at Zigzag, who was staring red faced at Blaze. Blaze opened her eyes, and got up, and Bleach started to laugh, Zigzag opened his mouth to say something, but Bleach shushed him. "She's sleep walking," she explained, "She try to go to the couch, but there's now couch here, she might just fall over on you or run into a pole or fall into a hole or something." Blaze walked in a big circle around the tent, running her hand on each cot, seeing if they were couches. When she reached Zigzag's cot, her hand brushed against Sunny's fur, which she often mistook for couch when sleep walking. "Couch," She said in a robotic voice. She flomped over on Zigzag's cot, Sunny barley jumped out of the way in time. Blaze curled up in a ball, as Bleach had seen her do, many times. Usually, her hand would grab her rain, but even though the rain was not on her, she grabbed the rain anyways, reaching up to the chain on Zigzag's neck. Blaze tugged the rain, pulling Zigzag down, until his face was not even inches from hers. Zigzag's eyes darted to Bleach, but she was just smiling widely. Blaze snapped her eyes open and kissed Zigzag. For like, two seconds. "Give me back my rain," she said dangerously, smirking. Zigzag just smiled wildly and kissed Blaze again. Out side a honking of a bus could be heard. Blaze pushed Zigzag off and wandered outside. "She tastes good," Zigzag said, smiling. Bleach gave him a disgusted look and wandered out of the tent following Blaze. ~*~*~*~ WHAT WE HEARD IN THE BUS*~*~*~*~*~ "This sucks," mumbled a voice. "Leah, Shut up!" Said another followed by a * smack *. "OW! Deidre! Don't hit me!" Screamed the voice called Leah. "Then shush," Said the other voice called Deidre. "I need Orlando Bloom," Whined a third voice. "Rebecca, you're obsessed," said the fourth. "Well, Susan, I'm not the one who thinks they're married to Heath Ledger," said Rebecca. "I AM!!!" yelled Susan. "All of you! SHUSH!!! I like eggs and butter!" Yelled a fifth voice. "Martin you're dumb!" Yelled another voice. "Well Susan, so are you!" Martin yelled back. "Both of you are!" Shouted a voice. "SHUT UP MEISHA!!!" Yelled another voice( Yes Nicole, that's Joseph) and Martin. "You guys remind me of clowns," said the last voice. "Shush, Joseph, some of us are clowns," Said Martin. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Blaze: WEW! Here I am in the story now, yayayayay, and I have people I know in the story know, yayayayayay.
Squid: You sound like some one from the Yaya Sisterhood.
Blaze: No. You shut up. Or I will make you into calamari.
Squid: O_o;;;; Shutting up.
Blaze: Thank you. *big cheezy smile!!! *
Bleach walked out of the tent wiping her eyes, and Squid even let her put on his hat (A/N: BOOYA!!!!!), just s a girl was jumping off the bus. Even though the girl's back was facing her, she could tell who it was, because of the girls black shirt and jean pants.

Mykalanne could hear Bleach yelling at Zigzag, and Zigzag yelling back, but when Bleach returned she was empty handed.
"He wont give it back until you kiss him," she said, an angry scowl on her face.
Mykalanne shrugged, "Sometimes you've gotta do without," she said wiping her eyes. Bleach remembered Mykalanne saying that the day she stopped sucking her thumb.
"I remember the last time you said that you gave up something you really loved for good," Bleach whispered. Mykalanne nodded.
"As long as I know where it is, I'll be fine," she assured Bleach. " I'll just be staring at Zigzag's pocket a whole lot of the time." Bleach laughed, as this was the first step to Mykalanne's usual recovery, making people laugh.
"Hey, this reminds me of the one song you kept obsessing over at the one place," Bleach said, sitting down, not remembering the song or place (A/N: I used to do that all the time I would say, "mom, do you remember that one time we went to that one place, and you did that one thing?" when I meant to say, " Mom, do you remember that one time, when we went to Knott's and you threw up on a ride?" but my Mom would always say, "I have no idea what you're talking about.")
"Oh yeah, I remember, we where staying in a hotel by an orphanage, and I would look out the window, and there would be these little kids playing, and I would start singing the one rain song, and it was really cool, cause every time I would sing, it would start to rain, and the kids had to go inside, and I don't think I ever finished the song, but I knew all the words," Said Mykalanne, also sitting, recalling putting her head against the window and singing.
"Do you still remember the words?" asked Bleach.
"But of course!" said Mykalanne with and English accent. "Do you?"
Bleach nodded, " But you're still singing the long part." Mykalanne laughed, "Because we all know you can't." Bleach laughed, as a hat fell off her head. "Oh! Squid's hat! I forgot! Hold on I'll be right back," Said bleach jamming the hat back on and getting up. "Okie, but tell Manny to cover his ears!" yelled Mykalanne after her. "You still that loud?" Bleach asked. "You bet your butt!" Laughed Mykalanne, standing up. She watched Bleach run over to the boys, and hand Squid his hat, and yell something at Manny, who cocked his head to the side, looking at Mykalanne, who nodded crazily, raising her arms in triumph. Manny's hands flew to his ears, as did Bleach's. Mykalanne drew in breath until her lungs hurt. She lifted her face to the sky and screamed, "RAIN, GARSH DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!" at the top of her lungs, making every one who wasn't covering their ears practically fall over from surprise. Mykalanne fell over laughing when she saw Squid, X-Ray, and Zigzag's faces. People started staring out of their tents, only to see a girl laughing hysterically on the ground. Mykalanne started to cry from pure joy, and opened her eyes to see a blurry Bleach & Manny laughing also.
Bleach wandered over to Mykalanne, still laughing, and had to choke out the words, "Before. You do that thing. you should. go get changed" Gasped Bleach between laughs, tugging at her orange jumpsuit incase Mykalanne didn't get the message. Mykalanne nodded, and wandered over to Mr. Sir's office. Still laughing, Mykalanne at her clothes and pointed to the boys in orange jumpsuits, and Mr. Sir understood, and led Mykalanne to a small room, filled with jumpsuits and boots, Mykalanne couldn't laugh anymore, her sides felt like they were going to burst. "What's your size?" Asked Mr. Sir, no bothering to ask why she was laughing, he had heard her yell, as did the whole camp, except for the Warden, because she was away on business. "Medium, Mr. Sir," Said Mykalanne clutching her sides. Mr. Sir threw a jumpsuit at her, which she barley caught. "Shoes?" Asked Mr. Sir. "Boys or Girls?" Asked Mykalanne, knowing both. Mr. Sir raised an eyebrow at her; it was only too obvious. "Eight and a half," Mykalanne sighed, ducking as a pair of shoes grazed her head. "Geezez." she murmured as Mr. Sir left. She pulled on the shoes, and the jumpsuit. Only putting it on halfway and tying the sleeves around her waste. She left on her black tank top because she does not like the color white. She opened the door to the room that led out side. And tripped. Over a foot. Zigzag's foot. "HEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" she squealed as the ground grew closer to her face. She was jerked up as a hand tightened around her wrist. She straightened up, and tried to wrench her wrist free from someone's grip she whirled around and glared at the person in the face. It was Zigzag. She should have known. She narrowed her eyes to slits and glared at him full power. Then she blew some hair out of her face, distracted for like, a second, as she watched her hair float back to its position. Crossing her eyes, she glared at her accursed hair. She was jerked forward, hard. It was Zigzag again. He had pulled her forward, still leaning against the wall. Zigzag smirked at her wide eyes as she stumble forward. She backed up, and glared at him. He did it again, and started to make Mykalanne mad. So it was like this: Tug, stumble, laugh, glare, back up, repeat. They repeated this until Mykalanne started to yell at Zigzag, " Let me go!" she yelled. "You're pretty when you're mad," Zigzag said, cocking his head to the side. Mykalanne rolled her eyes at him and walked over to the wall, within arm distance of him, of course. She slid down the wall and waited for him to let go of her wrist. They sat there (or stood, in Zigzag's case), and sat/stood, and it must have been a couple of hours before Mykalanne started feeling drowsy, thinking of stories she could write, until she nodded off to sleep. "Oy! Mykalanne, what is taking y-" Bleach stopped running up to the building and stopped talking when she saw Zigzag looking at the sky, and holding Mykalanne's wrist. Squid walked up behind her and froze at the same sight. "Ziggy, what are you doing?" Asked Bleach, slightly alarmed. "Watching, waiting, holding Blaze," he said glancing down at Mykalanne, who was asleep against the wall, her head tilted, and glasses fallen in her lap. "Blaze?" asked Squid. Zigzag pointed to Mykalanne. "That's Blaze," he said. And continued to look at the sky. "What are you looking at" asked Bleach, also looking up at the sky. "Blaze said that penguins were coming, and heat beam eyed pigs would be their allies, and then she just kept saying ' blaze. blaze. blaze.'" Zigzag said, tilting his head, and squinting at the sky. Bleach almost burst out in laughter, " No, Ziggy, that's just her recurring dream, She always dreams that penguins will come to take over the world and heat beam eyed pigs would be their allies. And all we would have to protect our selves would be 5 iron golf clubs. How long ago did she say the thing about the penguins?" Bleach asked, flicking a strand of hair over her shoulder. "300 seconds, 3 minutes," He said tilting his head to the other side. "Ah, I see," Bleach said smirking, " Then she should be waking up right." Zigzag stopped looking at the sky and looked at Bleach. " About." Zigzag looked at Myka- Blaze. "Now." Immediately after Bleach said 'Now' Blaze sat up, gasping. "Welcome to the real world, Blaze, where heat beam eyed pigs do not exist," Said Bleach, and made a big fake bow. Blaze grimaced, " I did it again? Oh, well," she said shrugging. " And did you just call me Blaze?" "Yes, yes I did," Said Bleach, smiling broadly. "Help me up, please," Said Blaze sleepily, she reached out her hand to Bleach, but Zigzag pulled on her other arm, pulling her up. When she was standing upright, Zigzag made her face him, " Do you still want your rain?" He asked. Blaze looked at Bleach with fear in her eyes as to what Zigzag would do if she said no. Bleach, however, gave a slight nod. Blaze turned back to Zigzag and said, " Some times you have to do without," and she felt Zigzag's grip slightly loosen on her hand, she pulled it away, and started to walk towards Bleach and Squid. Just when she reached the group, she heard Zigzag start to talk. "Fine," he said, and Blaze turned around, to see him pull out her rain on a chain, and slip it over his head. He was wearing her rain. She darted forward, and Bleach grabbed her arm. "Calm DOWN!" She yelled, but Blaze was strong, and wrestled against her grip. "A little help here!" she said, turning to Squid, who grabbed Blaze's other arm. "Holy pepperoni on a purple cow," Whispered Bleach. What had this girl been doing while she was gone? She was a lot stronger than she remembered. Blaze stopped struggling, and breathing hard was led to her tent. "You in D-tent?" Asked Bleach. Blaze nodded, a very, very angry expression on her face. They grabbed her duffle (A/N: Mr. Duffle is evil.) bag, and carried it to her tent. She found an empty cot next to Bleach's, with an empty crate lying beside it. She unzipped her duffle bag, and heard a faint mewing in her bag. Having no idea what the hack the noise was, she dug through her clothes and other belongings, to find her cat, Sunflower. "SUNNY!" She practically screamed. She lifted up the cat, which was panting. Blaze had only seen her pant once before, and it was sitting in a turned off car. "OY! BLEACH!!!" Blaze yelled, walking out of the tent with carrying Sunny like a baby. "What?" Asked Bleach walking up with Manny not far behind. "I have a stow away," Blaze said grinning, as Bleach's gaze fell on Sunny "Hey Sunners!" She said walking up to pet the cat. "What's this about stowaways?" Said a voice behind Blaze. She turned and it was the guy she had seen X-Ray call Mom. "We don't need anymore trouble makers than we already have!" he said wagging his finger, making them all laugh. "Naw, Mom, not a person," said Blaze turning all the way around. "A cat!" "Oh! Kitty!" Mom clapped walking towards her, and scratching Sunny behind the ears. "I'll go ask the Warden for a leash and collar!" He said, practically skipping to the Warden's cabin, and making all three of the double over in laughter. They wandered around, letting people pet the cat, and talking to the other D-tenters. Manny went to go unpack in C-tent, and Blaze and Bleach felt like taking naps. When they walked into the tent, they found a collar and leash on Blaze's cot, along with a bowl of water, and a bowl of left over dinner next Blaze's cot. Blaze slipped the collar and leash onto Sunny, and tied one end of the leash to one of the poles that supported the tent, and the leash was so long, it could reach any cot in the tent, but could not go outside. Bleach sat down at her cot and started to draw, and Blaze watched her for a couple of minutes, and then yawing, went over to her cot, because even though she had just recently woken up from a nap against a wall, dreaming about penguins and pigs makes you more tired then you were when you fell asleep.
Bleach woke up to see Zigzag sitting on his cot, petting Sunny who was purring lightly. Bleach leaned up on her elbows, " Hey," she said quietly, not wanting to wake up Blaze. "Hi," Ziggy whispered, still staring at Blaze. " Why is she crying?" Bleach snapped her head to look in Blaze direction, to see tears silently falling from her face. "Ah," Bleach said. " She's either having the dream where this one girl gets hanged and she doesn't know why, or the dream were a boy we now named Spencer is a vampire, or the one where these freaky guys from Buffy the vampire are chasing her, and if that is the dream she'll wake up right when they kill her, or the dream were these mean people kill her friend, a big golden metal dragon guy thingy, or she's having the dream where she commits suicide." Zigzag eyes widened at the mention of the last dream. "How did she kill herself?" "She told me she jumped in front of a truck because in the dream her parents abandoned her and her sister and brother. They would never really do that though," Bleach said, glancing over at Blaze every now and then, smirking when she stitched her eyebrows and started to blush. "Ah, that'll be the dream with Spence then," she said, flomping back onto the bed, folding her arms. "What happened in that dream?" asked Zigzag eagerly. "She made me promise not to tell," Bleach said as Blaze started to giggle. " Any moment now." Bleach tilted her head up to look at Zigzag, who was staring red faced at Blaze. Blaze opened her eyes, and got up, and Bleach started to laugh, Zigzag opened his mouth to say something, but Bleach shushed him. "She's sleep walking," she explained, "She try to go to the couch, but there's now couch here, she might just fall over on you or run into a pole or fall into a hole or something." Blaze walked in a big circle around the tent, running her hand on each cot, seeing if they were couches. When she reached Zigzag's cot, her hand brushed against Sunny's fur, which she often mistook for couch when sleep walking. "Couch," She said in a robotic voice. She flomped over on Zigzag's cot, Sunny barley jumped out of the way in time. Blaze curled up in a ball, as Bleach had seen her do, many times. Usually, her hand would grab her rain, but even though the rain was not on her, she grabbed the rain anyways, reaching up to the chain on Zigzag's neck. Blaze tugged the rain, pulling Zigzag down, until his face was not even inches from hers. Zigzag's eyes darted to Bleach, but she was just smiling widely. Blaze snapped her eyes open and kissed Zigzag. For like, two seconds. "Give me back my rain," she said dangerously, smirking. Zigzag just smiled wildly and kissed Blaze again. Out side a honking of a bus could be heard. Blaze pushed Zigzag off and wandered outside. "She tastes good," Zigzag said, smiling. Bleach gave him a disgusted look and wandered out of the tent following Blaze. ~*~*~*~ WHAT WE HEARD IN THE BUS*~*~*~*~*~ "This sucks," mumbled a voice. "Leah, Shut up!" Said another followed by a * smack *. "OW! Deidre! Don't hit me!" Screamed the voice called Leah. "Then shush," Said the other voice called Deidre. "I need Orlando Bloom," Whined a third voice. "Rebecca, you're obsessed," said the fourth. "Well, Susan, I'm not the one who thinks they're married to Heath Ledger," said Rebecca. "I AM!!!" yelled Susan. "All of you! SHUSH!!! I like eggs and butter!" Yelled a fifth voice. "Martin you're dumb!" Yelled another voice. "Well Susan, so are you!" Martin yelled back. "Both of you are!" Shouted a voice. "SHUT UP MEISHA!!!" Yelled another voice( Yes Nicole, that's Joseph) and Martin. "You guys remind me of clowns," said the last voice. "Shush, Joseph, some of us are clowns," Said Martin. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Blaze: WEW! Here I am in the story now, yayayayay, and I have people I know in the story know, yayayayayay.
