Chapter # 6 – Dinner

As D-tent entered the dining hall they acquired odd stares from the rest of the camp. "What are you looking at?" Ella hissed at one of the boys serving lunch. He just put his hands up in surrender before giving Ella the…err…food? She scowled and continued on towards the table they always sat at. The rest of her tent looked at her curiously, wondering why her mood turned from happy to sour all of a sudden. After they all got their food they cautiously approached Ella. Zigzag and Tibby sat on either side of her, watching her stab menacingly at her dinner.

Ella surprisingly got up and dumped her food into a trash can and came back and sat down. "What did ye do that for, girlie?" Mr. Sir demanded

"Um, have you looked at it, Mr. Sir?" she challenged, narrowing her eyes at him. He just turned away.

Tibby was growing concerned for her friend. "El, sweetie what happened?" she asked.

Ella looked up from having her face pressed into her folded arms, which were placed on Zigzag's shoulder. She was crying. "Oh, El. Hunny come with me." Tibby smiled weakly as she led Ella out of the dining hall. As they were about to leave she turned (Tibby) to face the boys and mouthed 'I'll be back in 10 minutes'.

Zigzag put is face in his hands and shook his blonde hair. "I wish I could help her." He mumbled.

"It's not your vault, Ziggy." He turned around to see Ella standing over him, with Tibby at her side. She hugged him tightly before Tibby dragged her back to the tent for some rest. After she got her settled down Tibby went into the wreck room to find the boys talking about Ella.

"She'll be fine, you know. But I think tonight she's going to come clean about why exactly we're both here. I'm just stressing out so much. I wish I could help her more!" Tibby sighed, sitting down on the floor beside Squid. He put his arm around her shoulder and looked her in the eyes; "Tibby, you're an amazing friend to her. It's not your fault any of this happened. She, I'm sure, is grateful to you for all you've done. You are doing all you can." He comforted her

"Thanks Squidly." She then stretched out and laid her head down on his knee.

They stayed like that for a while, until mom (Pendanski) came In and announced it was time to retreat to their tents for counseling time. Tibby had fallen asleep on Squid and his leg was asleep. So Squid motioned for Zigzag to pick Tibby up and carry her while her whacked his leg out of sleep. They D-tenters returned to their tent to find Ella curled up on her ginormus pillow beside the chair mom was sitting in. Wearing her long brown hair in pigtails, hugging tightly a stuffed bear, wearing a pretty, flowy tank top and the cheerleading shorts Zigzag thought she looked as cute as ever, laying there asleep.

"Uh, mom, shouldn't El be in a chair." He asked

"Yes, but when I came in here she was already asleep so let's not bother her, ok boys and Tibby?" he instructed

"Um, Mr. Mom, sir, I think she'd want to be awake for this. I, being her best friend, will take the liberty of waking this lazy lump up. Saving any of you a black eye." Tibby knelt down next to Ella and began whispering something in here ear. Immediately the sleeping girl's eyes shot open, looking alarmed.

"What did you say to her?" Caveman asked

"I started singing the Barney song. She hates him with a passion. She thinks he works for the government and the man inside the suit it really a robot." Tibby explained as she got up and went to the opposite sit of the circle and sat between Ziggy and Squid. Zigzag, who was looking down at Ella, still lying on the floor, got up and went over beside her and sat down. Ella looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back. Mom looked at them peculiarly and stated; "I believe we have some sparks-a-flyin'!" Everyone glared at him. Especially Ella, who was embarrassed to admit it. Well, let's just say that session went quickly.

After it was over all the boys went to bed. Ella, however, stayed laying on the floor, to tired to get up and move to the not-much-more comfortable cot. Tibby, who slept in the cot beside Zigzag, got up and nudged him while pointing at Ella. "Go get her!" she instructed. He looked at her funny and then got what she was saying. "Oh!" he nodded as he bent down over Ella and carried her to her cot, tucking her in. Tibby watched the whole time and when he sat down on his cot again she got up and sat with him. "You know," she said. "She likes you a lot too." She winked before going back to her own cot.

Wow. Things are going fast. HAHAHAHAHAHAH -A/N
