Surprises

(Chapter 8)

That night the cabin felt a little empty, as it was only Carman and Denise getting ready for bed together. Anistelle and Wendy still were not back yet, and neither was Camilla, they would have to find out her fate later.

"I still feel kinda bad for Camilla," Carman was saying as she and Denise were in the bath room. Denise was busy brushing her teeth and Carman was absentmindedly playing around with a wash cloth.

"Why?" Denise spat into the sink.

Carman sighed, "She didn't throw the necklace...I did. I wanted to get back at Tilly for...kissing Eric in front of me like that..."

Denise looked at Carman and said, "Understandable. Perfectly."

"So...what should I do?" Carman asked Denise, hoping that maybe for once Denise would give her some good advice.

Denise looked thoughtful, "Ask fat ass out."

Denise and Carman gathered up their baskets full of hair products, soap, and bath items and headed back to their cabin with flash lights and slippers on.

Carman shook her head, "I can not do that! What if...what if he and Tilly really do have something going?"

"Why would they?" wondered Denise.

She and Carman were now back in their cabin, putting things away and settling into their bunks.

"Huh?"

"Come on Carman," Denise said, "Cartman totally likes you! Not Tilly!"

"Then why did he kiss her? He's never kissed me."

"EW!!! Why the hell would he?" Denise cried.

Carman glared at her.

"Okay, okay," said Denise, "Maybe it was a prank, you know? Like the one we pulled on Anistelle."

"You guys did that?!" a voice screamed from the doorway to the cabin.

Carman and Denise whirled around and found a very angry Anistelle walking into the cabin.

"Well duh!" Denise confirmed, "Of course we did that! Who did you think did?"

"UH!" Anistelle cried, "You made me miss Movie Night!"

"Big fucking deal," Denise said, she climbed onto her top bunk and got into her sleeping bag, "Good night," she sighed pleasantly.

Carman shook her head and layed down into her own bunk. Sometimes Denise was a good friend, even though it took her quite some time to be.

The next morning, Wendy was back and so was Camilla. As the girls got dressed and ready for the day, they asked them all kinds of questions. Wendy got drilled first.

"Where were you Wendy?" Denise asked her first thing.

Wendy blushed, "I was with Token..."

"Token?! That richy black kid? No way!" cried Denise in disbeleif.

"Why were you with him? Whatever happened to Max? Or Stan?" asked Carman.

Wendy blushed again and avoided Carman and Denise's gazes.

"I'm very confused right now..." Wendy said, "I think I might really like Token. We walked down to the lake last night after the movie and we sat down by the water and talked...about old times."

"Hold it! Hold it!" interrupted Denise loudly, "You mean to tell me you went out with this kid before?!"

Wendy looked back at her and nodded, "Yes...after I dumped Stan awhile back."

"Whoa...you get all the guys," said Denise.

"...and Max...?" Carman wanted to know.

Wendy shook her head, "I'll have to see him again I guess."

Denise turned away from Wendy and looked at Camilla, "And what about you? Have any exciting adventures last night too?"

Camilla shook her head, "I didn't even get in trouble! Well neither did Tilly...but-"

"We need to get that bitch back!" Carman interrupted her.

"Huh? How?" asked Camilla.

"I'll think of something," Carman assured her.

Later that afternoon, Big Gay Al took a bunch of the campers over to the stables for some horse back riding lessons. Camilla, Carman, Tilly, Anistelle, Denise, Wendy, Cartman, Stan, Kyle, Jeff, Token, Lenny, and Pip were all there leaning against the paddock fence, watching as Big Gay Al brushed the large brown horse inside.

"The first thing you should all know about horses is that you should never approach it from behind!" Big Gay Al was saying, and then he went on about the proper care for horses, the kids were not listening at all. Except for both Pip and Lenny, and maybe Tilly and Anistelle, who were having their own conversation, a little ways away from everybody else.

"Okay, so you know the plan?" Denise whispered to Camilla.

Camilla grinned, "Yep, and you Carman?" Camilla looked over at Carman who had been gazing over at Cartman, standing with her cousin and Stan and Kyle.

Carman shook out of it, "Yes," she replied quickly.

Denise shook her head too, "I kinda feel bad for you and all."

"You do?" Carman asked.

"Nah, I was just kidding!" laughed Denise, but she smiled at Carman all the same.

"Oooooh," breathed Camilla, "This plan is so perfect, she'll never know what hit her!"

Next to them, Wendy and Token were standing together, and a little bit away from them was Stan, Kyle, Jeff, and Cartman. Stan was glaring at Token and Wendy.

"I can not beleive her!" Stan said angryily.

Kyle looked down at the ground. He still felt pretty bad about upsetting Stan the day before with his last comment about Wendy.

"Wendy's a bitch," snapped Cartman, "In fact, all bitches are bitches!"

"I have to agree with you this time," Jeff commented.

"Now," Big Gay Al spoke up loudly, "Which silly goose would like to ride the horse first?"

"ME!!" screamed Lenny, leaping over the fence.

"I'll have a whack at it!" Pip added brightly, climbing over the fence also.

"Great!" Big Gay Al cried enthuisasticly and he helped Pip and Lenny onto their horses as the rest of the campers watched patiently.

"Anyone else want to go?"

"Oh...ah me," Camilla said slowly, hopping over the fence, careful nod to trod on her long black cloak.

"Super!" cried Big Gay Al.

As he was helping Camilla out with her horse, Denise and Carman snuck away from the group and into the stables.

"You got the bucket?" Carman whispered to Denise.

Denise appeared a second later with a bucket that smelled very foul and was very heavy.

"Help me with this!" Denise hissed.

Carman ran over and held the other end of the bucket.

"Oh shit, this sucks!" Carman gasped.

Denise hushed her and peered behind the barn door.

"Okay, Gay Al ain't looking, let's go," Denise announced and they tiptoed out of the barn and behind the other kids, holding the bucket the whole time. They queitly approached Tilly from behind. Together Denise and Carman lifted the bucket over Tilly's head and within meer seconds she was covered in gloppy, foul smelling, horse shit!

Everyone was laughing their asses off as Tilly screamed at the top of her lungs, trying despertly to get the shit (literally!) off her face. Big Gay noticed the commotion and quickly rushed over to see what was going.

"Oh my goodness! What have you silly gooses been doing?" he asked.

No one answered after a moment, everyone's faces were turning bright red, trying not to laugh.

"Uh...Gay Al?" spoke up Stan, "It kinda looks like Tilly's got shit on her head."

"Well that certainly seems to be," said Big Gay Al brightly, "Tilly, go take a shower and get clean. Everyone else may leave, unless of course you want a super ride on the horses!"

Stan, Kyle, Jeff, and Cartman started to leave and Wendy grabbed Token's arm.

"Let's stay, okay Token?" Wendy said.

"Okay Wendy," replied Token cheerfully.

"God damn it!" cried Stan as he and his friends walked away, "Sometimes I really hate her! Kyle, you were right Wendy is a whore!"

Kyle smiled, "See Stan? Told ya!"

"Yeah and how long has it taken for it to sink in?" Jeff asked Stan.

"Shut up you guys," snapped Stan as he stormed away.

"That was so fucking great!" choked Denise, rolling over on the floor of the cabin.

Carman wiped the tears from her eyes, "You're telling me!"

"Did you see that look on her face?" cried Camilla, "I'll bet she's crying all over the whole lavatory right now!"

"I've had it with you girls!" shrieked Anistelle, she ran into the cabin just then, tears forming in her eyes, "You guys SUCK!"

"Well she deserved it!" Denise retorted.

Anistelle sat down on her bed and shook her head, "Tilly didn't deserve that," she peered over at Carman, "Carman, I'm sorry," Anistelle continued to sob, "I was the one who told her to kiss that fat kid you love so much!"

Carman gasped, "WHAT?! YOU BITCH!!"

Anistelle shook her head again, "And now Tilly hates me, we just had a fight and she won't speak to me ever again!!!"

Carman, Denise, and Camilla all looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Carman sighed, "I have to go," she said softly and slowly walked out the door.

Both Denise and Camilla started laughing their asses off again.

"Oh man that was so fucking awesome!" screeched Denise.

"Yes it was!" agreed Camilla, tears of laughter now pouring down her eyes.

Anistelle just stared at her cabin mates open mouthed in shock.

"Jeff, I need your advice," Stan looked over at Jeff, who was sitting on his bunk, playing a Game Boy.

"What Stan?" Jeff asked, still not taking his eyes off the video game.

"I know this sounds totally gay, but since we're here, I might as well tell someone," Stan said.

"Why tell me?" Jeff asked, this time he over at Stan.

Stan shrugged, "I don't know, maybe because you're not Kyle, Cartman, or Kenny."

"Oh-kay," Jeff replied.

"Yeah...well I was thinking...I still like Wendy."

Jeff groaned in digust.

"You're kidding!"

"No," said Stan, shaking his head, "I'm not. I still do...and maybe I always will."

"Dude, that sounds totally gay!"

Stan nodded, "I know, but...but I have to get her back! I just have to!"

Jeff shook his head and hopped down the bunk, "I'm gonna go do some fishing, are you coming?"

"No," answered Stan.

Jeff left and so did Stan, but he was walking over to Girl's Cabin 1. When he got there, he wasn't too surprised to see that Wendy wasn't even there. Inside was Denise, Camilla, and Anistelle. Denise was laying on her back, on her top bunk, probably trying to take a nap, Camilla was on the bunk below her, with black curtains drawn around and Anistelle was on her bed, bare footed writing a letter or something.

Denise sat up when Stan came in.

"Stan? What the Hell are you doing here?"

"Denise, can we talk?"

"No I will not go out with you."

"Huh? No, I wasn't going to ask that."

"Good, cause you know Kyle's my man."

"Sure, uh...can we maybe talk outside?"

"What? Talking about me are we?" Anistelle snapped.

"Hey, what crawled up your vagina?" asked Stan.

"Leave me alone!" screamed Anistelle.

Denise hopped off her bunk, "Okay, let's go outside."

The two went outside and walked over to the arts and crafts building, where they knew no one was going to be.

"What's this all about Stan?" Denise wanted to know.

"Wendy."

"Of course," Denise folded her arms and rolled her eyes.

"Please just listen okay?"

"Whatever."

"Look, do you know how I can Wendy back? From Token? I know I'm better than him and I know I can get her back!"

Denise sighed and rested her hand on one of the crafts tables. She looked over at Stan.

"I like you Stan, you're pretty cool when you try," Denise said.

"What? Okay yeah...but what about Wendy? Can you help me?" Stan pleaded.

Denise looked thoughtful, "Hmmmm...how about you get Wendy some presents? Pick her some flowers and leave them on her bed with a love note."

"She'd really like that?"

Denise nodded vigoursly, "Duh! All girls like that! I bet even Camilla would too."

"Okay," Stan replied, "I'll try it...but what kinds of things should I write in the love note?"

"Just tell her how you really feel."

"How I really feel?"

"Yes, didn't I say that?!"

"Okay, thanks Denise."

Stan walked over to the door.

"Don't mention it Stan."
