"You are such a klutz," Piglet said to Baby as Squid, Baby and Piglet walked back to the camp compound.
"What do you mean by that?" Baby asked, sort of insulted.
"You ALWAYS fall over and stuff, like you just fell down a hole, you've dropped a shovel on Magnet's head, you got knocked off my cot when Magnet hit you with the pillow, loads of stuff," Squid answered for Piglet, "You arereally accident prone!"
"He does have a point, Baby," Piglet said, "Ever since I've known you, you've always been a klutz, like remember that time you got your leg caught in a vine and fell down a hill in the woods, that was hilarious!"
"It hurt too!" Baby said, giggling slightly as she thought about it.
Squid laughed.
Baby went into the tent to get her towel before she headed towards the showers (the girls had a separate shower) No one else was in the tent apart from Zero and Caveman. They were talking but immediately stopped as soon as Baby walked in.
Caveman smiled but Zero just looked at the floor.
"Hiya guys!" Baby said cheerfully.
"Hi," Caveman said.
Zero just looked up slightly.
"Cavey, I found some stuff out about Piglet," Baby said, she thought that she'd best get started with this match- making stuff.
Caveman's whole face lit up, "Really, what!"
"Well, I know that she likes tough guys, but she finds you a little… um… too sensitive," Baby said, trying to put it as nicely as possible.
"Oh, " Caveman sounded a little disappointed, "But how can I be less sensitive?" "She says you stutter when you talk to her and blush and all that, so maybe we should work on that," Baby suggested.
"I can't help but stutter and blush, It's like I'm scared in case I make a fool of myself in front of her which makes me make a fool of myself in front of her…" Caveman stared garbling on.
"Talk to her like you'd talk to any other person then," Baby butted in.
"I can't! She isn't just any other person," Caveman said.
"Right, um.. This is more difficult than I thought it would be," Baby groaned.
Caveman gave her a pleading look.
"Ok, I've thought of something," Baby said after a moment of thinking, "Right, pretend I'm Piglet, talk to me like you'd talk to her,"
"But you don't look like Piglet…" Caveman whined.
"I know that!.. Just pretend," Baby was getting a little annoyed with him.
Zero seemed to be giggling slightly at the little performance in front of him.
"Well, ok then," Caveman said uncertainly, "Um… Hi Piglet,"
"Hi Cavey," Baby said.
"Um.. Baby I don't know what to say now!" Caveman said.
Baby rolled her eyes.
Caveman bit his lip with frustration.
"What would Piglet like me to say?" he asked.
"God, I don't know," Baby sighed, collapsing exhaustedly on the nearest Cot. Due to digging all day, getting up super, super early and trying to teach Caveman to talk to Piglet like a normal person Baby was absolutely knackered.
She then thought of something.
"Well, I know that Piglet likes compliments, there was this boy in our school who was not really that attractive but Piglet really fancied him a lot because he'd say some really nice about her every time he saw her," Baby explained. Caveman nodded encouragingly, taking in every word. Baby got up off the cot.
"Ok, pretend I'm Piglet again, say somethingnice and I'll tell you whether she'd like it or not," Baby said.
"Hey Piglet," Caveman said, "You look um… You look really good in your mini skirt…" At this point Squid walked in.
"Yeah and what's going on here then!" he asked, raising his eyebrows.
Baby couldn't help but laugh at how awkward this situation looked.
"I was teaching Caveman how to talk to Piglet," Baby said simply.
"Oh right!" Squid said with realisation, "I want to help too,"
"Yeah whatever," Baby said, "I still doubt that boys can match make,"
"Yeah we can!" Squid said defensively, "Just don't ask Magnet to help you Caveman as he'd probably tell you the way to a girls heart is to get in her pants,"
Baby shuddered slightly, "Boy am I glad you don't think that,"
Squid grinned slightly, "Well, I'm not saying it's a bad idea…"
"Ew! No! I am going before you say anything else!" Baby said disgusted.
"I was only joking!" Squid called after her.
Squid turned to Caveman.
"I am going to help you with Piglet, Ok?" Squid said.
"Well, ok," Caveman said, although it looked as though he didn't have much of a choice.
"I really want to prove to Baby that boys can match make too," Squid explained.
"Why do you think Piglet likes you?" Caveman asked.
"I have no idea," Squid admitted.
"Baby said Piglet likes tough guys, and you act pretty tough," Caveman suggested.
Squid stood thinking for a moment.
Then he suddenly shouted, "I have thought of a brilliant idea!" causing both Zero and Caveman to jump.
Squid laughed slightly, "And Baby said boy's can't match make…"
