Whenever D-tent was through eating supper, they entered the tent to find a very angry Maegan.
"Where did yall go?!" she barked.
"Where do you think? To eat," Shelby replied cooly.
Maegan growled in reply. "Why didn't yall tell me?"
"We didn't want to interrupt your precious music time."
"You didn't think I was hungry to?" she snarled.
"Maegan, calm down," Roxanne said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm hungry," she said, deadly quiet.
"It's not too late to eat," Squid choked out. "There's still a lot of people in there."
"Come on, Christa," she said. "Come with me to the Cafeteria." Christa did as she was told, shrugging at Korsica, who raised her eyebrows.
Whenever Maegan and Christa left, Andy let out the breath she didn't even know she was holding.
"What is the deal with her?" Armpit asked.
"She thinks she's some kind of leader for us or something," Shelby replied, disgusted.
"She's not, so we don't know where she gets off, telling us what to do. Barking orders around," Korsica said, frustrated. "I think Christa's the only one who can actually stand her." The other girls nodded in agreement.
"SH!" Zig-Zag said suddenly, looking wildly around. "Did you hear that?" he whispered. The girls looked back and forth from one another, then at the boys wearing the 'what-in-the-world?' look.
"No, Zig. Man, what is it?" Squid asked, playing along.
"IT'S THEM!" he screamed, flying to the floor. "DUCK FOR COVER, EVERYONE! DUCK FOR COVER!"
All the guys jumped to the floor, so the girls did the same, not knowing what was going on.
"Who is it, Ziggy?" Squid asked.
"Them," he whispered. When everyone just stared at him, he said, "The FBI. They have cameras hidden everywhere! Even in the SHOWERS! AHHH!" he cried, jumping up and running out of the tent.
The boys got up off of the floor, grinning like crazy at the girls, who were still on the floor, scared for their lives. Not from the FBI, but from Zig-Zag.
"You can get up, now," X-ray said.
They looked at one another carefully and slowly stood up. Twitch laughed and said, "He's harmless."
"Don't let him bother you," Squid commented. "Zig's a good guy, once you get to know him. He just suffers from acute paranoia."
"Oh," came the girls' reply.
'Acute paranoia? Oh, this will be fun...' Andrea thought, smiling.
"I'm going to the Rec Room. Anyone else want to come?" Magnet asked. He glanced awkwardly at Andrea, but looked quickly away.
'He feels guilty. Good, he should feel guilty.'
"I do!" X-ray said. Pretty soon everyone, but Andrea, Shelby, and Zero was piling out of the tent heading for the Rec Room.
"Andrea, what was that smile about on your face earlier? What are you cooking up this time?" Shelby asked, excitement written all over her face.
"Well, Zig-Zag has acute paranoia, so I thought it'd be fun to mess with him. Just a little, though," she added. "Not too much."
"Andy, you can be evil sometimes, you know that?"
Andrea shrugged.
"So, got anything planned?"
"Not yet, but-"
Just then, Zig-Zag walked into the tent as if nothing had happened a while ago. "Where did everyone go?" he asked, eyeing the two girls uncertainly.
"Oh, we killed them," Andrea replied, nonchalant.
"And hid them under our beds," Shelby added, shrugging.
"Wh-what?! AHH! YOU KILLED THEM! YOU KILLED THEM! YOU'LL KILL ME! AHH!" He then proceeded to run away. Again.
Shelby and Andy burst into a fit of giggles.
"That was too good," Shelby said.
"His face was... priceless," Andy commented, holding onto the wall. A few minutes later, D-tent walked in, with Andy and Shelby still cracking up.
"You were the ones who did it," X-ray accused them.
"Did what?" Shelby asked innocently.
"Told Ziggy we were dead."
"Oh, yeah, that. Yeah, we sure did. How did you find out, anyways?"
"He walked into the Rec Room to play pool, while mourning our death," Korsica said. "When he saw us, he started screaming at the top of his lungs that we were ghost coming to haunt him because he wasn't at our funeral."
Shelby and Andrea started laughing even more.
"Wait, wait, wait," X-ray said. "If yall are gonna mess with his head, yall need to let us in on it, every once in a while."
"Okay, promise!" Shelby said, in between giggles.
"Boys? Girls? Curfew," Pendanski said, sticking his head into the tent. "Where's Ricky?"
"Somewhere screaming about ghosts," Caveman replied.
"Oh, dear lord," Pendanski said, turning around to go find him. He didn't take a step away from the tent when Zig-Zag came walking up to the tent.
"Get inside, Ricky. It's curfew."
"Okay, Mom." He walked in, acting as nothing had happened, and the girls stared at him, bewildered.
"Good night. Girls, the girl counselor will be here in a moment to escort you to and from the changing rooms."
"Okay, Mom," they replied.
"Goodnight!" everyone called.
After the girls got changed into their pajamas, Magnet grabbed Andrea's arm and pulled her aside.
"Listen chica. I'm sorry for what happened today."
"No problem."
"No, it is a problem. For me anyways. I'm going to make it up to you, by the time this week is over."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
He stared at her with his big brown eyes and said, "Let's not say okay anymore, okay?"
She grinned. "Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Sure."
"Okay."
"Okay, I'm done with this," he said, throwing his hands in the air and walking away.
Andy watched him walk away, but then looked at Zig-Zag. 'Hmm... I wonder what we could do with him tomorrow....'
