Chapter # 5 – Just Hanging out Pt. 2

Zigzag sat Ella down beside him when they reached the group. Tibby immediately went over to Squid and grabbed onto his strong arm.

"Hey Squidly." She giggled

"Hey Tibby." He said teasingly. Tibby pouted and gleefully smacked him on the back of his head.

"Ouch!" he whined. "So, Ella, what do you guys want to do now that you've finished your first hole."

"Um." She pondered. "How about we go back to the tent and play a game!"

"What game?" X-ray asked, stepping up in front of her.

"Truth or dare or double dare or triple dare or burning building." She replied

Tibby's eyes lit up. "Yes! Let's play that!" she screeched as she began to drag Squid and Magnet towards the tent. "Come on!" she yelled at everyone else. Tibby's excited-ness is very infectious, Ella got super hyper all of a sudden and let go of Zigzag and zoomed up beside Tibby. The two girls grabbed onto each other's arms and ran towards the tent. The boys ran after them, looking curious as to why the girls were so excited to play this game.

"Why are you girlies so excited to play this game?" Armpit asked.

"Duh! It's only the best game ever!" Ella replied matter-of-factly.

"Yeah!" Tibby chimed in.

"Well, ok. Let's play!" Squid rubbed his hands together with anticipation.

"Hold on cowboy, we all need to be sitting on cots. Let's see, Zero, Caveman, Armpit, X-ray, Squid, Zigzag, Tibby and Me. Hmm. 4 of us sit on one cot, the other 4 sit on the cot across. Let's use Squidly's cot and mine." Ella instructed.

"Wait. Wait a minute everybody. We have a problem." X-ray informed everyone.

"What is it, X?" Ella questioned.

"You and Tibbs don't have nicknames." He pointed out.

"Oh. We're supposed to have nicknames?" Tibby asked.

"Um, yeah, but don't feel too bad. I was here for, like, 2 days before I got mine." Caveman told them.

"Yeah, but dude, these are girls. It shouldn't take us that long," X-ray pondered for a moment before coming up with two nicknames he believed suited the girls. "How about Tibby is screechy and Ella is Sugar?"

The two girls looked at each other, and at the same time turned to X and said; "I don't think so."

"Hey, how about Sugar for Tibby, because she said she had a pet horse named Sugar and…hmm…how about Candy for Ella. Because she is always so hyper?" he suggested

"Um, ok. I guess you can call me Candy, seeing as I am so sweet and hyper!" Ella beamed at them.

"Yeah, I guess Sugar's ok for me. "Tibby gave in with a smile.

"Come on, Candy. You're going to sit beside me!" Magnet playfully pulled her down beside him onto Squid's cot. Ella giggled. Zigzag cocked an eyebrow in Magnet's direction. "Aww, Ziggy you sit here!" Ella patted the space on the other side of her. He grinned sheepishly and took a seat. Armpit also took a seat behind them, making a team of 4. Tibby, Squid, Caveman and Zero sat on Squid's cot across from them.

"Ok! Let the games begin!" Tibby dramatically held her hand above her head and let it drop, like girlfriends of drag racers would do in the 60's.

"Ooh! Me first!" Tibby quickly screeched as soon as her hand was down again.

"Okay, Tibbs. Who do you pick?" Ella asked.

"Well, I pick you Candy. What'll it be? Truth, dare, double dare, promise to repeat or must?" Tibby asked as she playfully raised an eyebrow towards Zigzag. Ella blushed and announced; "I pick must, you know that Sugar! It's all I ever pick!"

"It's true. And she always does it!" Tibby told the boys. "Any who, you must kiss Ziggy for 30 seconds." Tibby finished, obviously proud of the dare she had for her dear friend.

Ella looked over at Zigzag who looked at her. "I don't know Sugar, maybe you should consult with him first."

"Ziggy? What do you think?" Tibby turned to him.

"Sure, I guess. I mean, I'm no chicken!" he tried to hide his excitement.

"Okay then! It's settled. I have a stop watch, hold on a sec!" Tibby began to search through Ella's bag for the watch she'd given her 11 months ago for her 14th birthday. "Got it! Okay, start in 10 seconds."

Ella and Zigzag leaned in towards each other. "I'm sorry about Tibby." Ella whispered. "Don't worry about it." He whispered back before they started to kiss. A series of hoots and laughter and 'way to go Zig's were shouted. When the 30 seconds was up Ella stood up and brushed herself off; "I'll be back." She announced before heading out the door. Everyone stared after her. Ella came around to the side of the tent and leaned against it. 'Wow. That was cool' she breathed silently.

"Where did she go?" Zigzag asked Tibby.

"Donno." Tibby shrugged and turned back to the game. Zigzag lied on his back and looked up at the ceiling. All of a sudden the dinner bell rang. It was the girls' first supper at Camp Green Lake and they didn't remember where the mess hall was from when Mr. Sir told them yesterday. Just as everyone was leaving Ella appeared at the door. "Come on, Candy. Dinner." X-ray pointed in the direction of the dining hall. Ella nodded at him and ran to catch up to Zigzag and Magnet.

As she was walking Ella began to ponder all the things that'd happen since she and Tibby arrived about 20 hours ago. They hadn't gotten along with the guys really at first. The secret of Tibby's problem (remember from 2 chappies ago?) had been revealed, she'd cried in front of them and they comforted her. Now she has a nickname. And, on top of that, she's kissed Zigzag. Ella had talked to Tibby at lunch and they came to the conclusion that they liked it here.

And sweetie, it only gets better from here.
