Chapter 19:

When the pretty girl got out of the car and looked around there was a sudden bolt of lightning and a loud clap of thunder. Rain began to fall from the sky. It was the first time it had rained in over a hundred years at Camp Green Lake. Squid was not concerned with the weather; he was too fixated with the girl who had just gotten out of the car. She looked around and then her gaze fixated on Squid. She smiled and walked towards him. The rain was falling in heavy sheets now, the warm drops were falling on Squid' face and body.

As the girl walked closer to Squid he realized just who it was. He thought that he eyes were playing tricks on him but they weren't Kandy the love of his life was standing within only twenty feet of him. He saw her face and he ran towards her. He grabbed her into a hug. He kissed her and instantly his face was sopping wet, but the water was not from the rain but from the tears of happiness that were falling fluently from Kandy's eyes. They both had waited almost as long as they could to see each other again.

"I've missed you" Kandy said between tears.

"I've missed you!" Squid was now beaming.

"Squid there is something I need to tell you. I should have told you before but I wasn't sure if you felt the same. But I'm sure now and there is nothing that can change it. These few months have been so hard for me and I need you to know that I…"

"Shh!" Squid covered her lips and smiled. "Don't say anything there is something that I need to tell you. From the moment I realized that you wouldn't be with me everyday I knew I couldn't live without you. Kandy I love you. I love you more than anything."

"I love you too! I need you. I have missed you so much."

The rain kept falling and Squid and Kandy were left kissing in the rain until the other guys from D-tent realized what was going on.

"Kandy! Nice to see ya dawg!" X-ray and the rest of the guys pulled her into hugs.

"Everyone come on come on lets get going!" Mr. Jones was herding everyone towards the busses."

All of the guys said good-bye to each other and promised to call. They all went to their lines to go home. Magnet, X-ray, Armpit and Zigzag were all going to New York. Zero and Caveman had left the day before and were already home.

"Come on Squid your coming home with me!"

"What? I live in New York and you live in Missouri what are you talking about?"

"Oh! Didn't anyone tell you live in Missouri now with your cousins? Your mom is there too they are going to help you take care of her. You live only about an hour away from me!"

Squid had never heard anything better all the hours that had been wasted worrying about how he was going to keep their relationship strong even when they were so far from each other were wasted. He and Kandy got back into her car and they drove away to go back to Missouri to be together.
