Chapter Three

"…these are Theodore, Ricky, Jose, Stanley, and Zero." Mom finished, looking back to the girls. "For the last time the name is armpit, not Theodore….armpit." The large black boy wearing his suit exactly like Elisabeth explained in a frustrated tone. X-ray stepped in again and pointed to each boy as he introduced them with their nicknames. "That's Armpit as you already know, Zig Zag…" He pointed to a tall untamed looking young man with unmanageable blonde hair. "Magnet…" X-ray then pointed to a boy slightly taller than Armpit that was undoubtedly Mexican. "…and Caveman." He pointed again at a homely looking boy about the same height as Magnet with very frizzy hair. X-ray turned back to the girls and gave a small smile folding his arms across his chest. Elisabeth looked back at the small boy lying on a cot, "Subsequently by means of deductive computation that would make his first designation Zero, for the reason that as you were explaining every boys nickname you didn…" Before she could finish her intelligent rant she was cut off by Lalane, who was without a doubt annoyed to almost her full extent. "Jeezus Christ, can't you ever can for even just ten minutes. Every time you talk I never understand a single word that comes out of your mouth. Is it that hard to ask if the kids na…" This time it was her being cut off curtly by Vanessa. "Lalane quit it, it's ok Elisabeth, you know she's just irritated. Lalane you better start being nicer to her while we are here I don't want to deal with any fights, physical or mental, with you two." She finished and stepped between the two as Lalane turned to the side stepping away from Vanessa mumbling to herself. "Irritated my ass."

All the while "mom" had been standing in the doorway, "Well it's good to see one of you cares about rules, and Lalane, no swearing now, we are here to build character." He then gave another large smile and walked back out of the tent. The boys gave each other a look and all sat down on their cots. X-ray pointed to three cots, one near the front of the tent on the right, the other in the middle on the right side, and the last cot at the back on the right. "You can choose which ones you want…." Lalane ran at the back cot and jumped on it yelling out that it was hers as she landed. With a loud thud the cot gave way and crumpled to the floor. "Nice going fat one." Vanessa rolled her eyes and turned to Elisabeth, "Which one do you want?" Elisabeth turned her head to the front of the tent and motioned slightly. "Ok, so that leaves me with the middle, well we better get unpacked." Lalane had stood up and started rubbing her butt mumbling something about not being fat. She put the cot back up and heaved her back onto it pulling out her toothbrush, hairbrush, razor, and tampons. "Ok, there's the important stuff, now on to the sex toys." She turned to see Zig Zag, Magnet, Squid, and Armpit looking at her, their mouths slightly agape. "I was just joking….god." She walked around to the other side of the cot and stuffed everything that she had unpacked so far under the bed.

Elisabeth and Vanessa had done the same so far and were doing their best to keep their "unmentionables" out of sight as they unpacked everything into bins beside their cots. Lalane on the other hand, had grabbed all of her underwear, which happened to look like very expensive Victoria's Secret lace boy shorts style underwear with matching bras of different colors and shoved them into the bins. Rubbing her hands together she looked up to see the boys staring at her yet again, or rather, at the bin with her underwear. "Perv's." She muttered and walked over to Vanessa. "Guess what," "What", Vanessa responded as Lalane pulled out a Zippo lighter and flicked it open. Vanessa stared openly for a minute before a look of anger enveloped her face. "Lalane Tee Michaels, if you get caught with that I am not going to get you out of trouble. Now give it here." Lalane pulled her hand back and shoved the lighter back into her pocket before replying to the brown haired angry woman in front of her. "that's not fair, genius one over there brought her damn computer." Vanessa turned to Elisabeth, "You didn't, did you?" "I couldn't help it, I just couldn't leave it, I…I can't survive without it." Elisabeth mumbled to herself more than Vanessa. "Fine, but if either of you get caught, I'm not helping." Lalane turned back to the guys and gave an impish smile before saying loud enough for the whole tent to here, "She's PMS'ing." She was greeted with a forceful hit to the back of the head. "See, so what do you guys do around here, other than jack off that is. "LALANE." She turned back to Vanessa who had her arms folded. "Meeeooww, jeeze." "Boys would you mind showing us what you do in your spare time, other than what Lalane suggested." She added quickly. "Sure." Came a chorus of reply's and each of the boys stood up and walked out of the tent to the wreck room, the girls following behind.
