Chapter 19
"Yellow spotted lizard?" Baby asked, confused.
"Yeah, they can kill you with one bite, Mr Sir told me," Caveman was slowly backing away.
Now, that gave a reason for the three girls to be scared, they tried slowly walking away, their eyes fixed on the lizard who was unaware of the teenagers near it.
Suddenly the lizard looked up and it's eyes just seemed to gleam. It hissed, showing sharp white fangs and began scurrying towards them.
A few screams could be heard as Caveman, Chatterbox and Piglet began running away from the lizard which was approaching quickly, but Baby was frozen to the spot. That was always the problem with Baby, whenever anything like this happened she always found that she can't move. It's like her muscles stopped working and her feet are glued to the ground. The lizard was a couple of feet away from her, she could hear people (probably Piglet, Chatterbox and Caveman) calling her name.
Her heart was banging against her ribcage and her mind was racing. Just as the lizard was inches away from her, it leapt up, it's fangs like daggers.
Baby took a deep breath and squeezed her eyes shut, she knew she had to do something. She swung the shovel she had clutched in her hand down. It came crashing down on the lizard.
Later in the Wreck room
"You should of seen Baby though! I never knew she had it in her, squishing the lizard like that!" Caveman said, laughing a little.
"Baby's a tough little chica," Magnet joked, jumping down on the sofa beside Baby.
"No, I'm not! I feel so guilty for squishing the poor little lizard!" Baby groaned, running a hand through her hair.
"Poor little lizard!" Zigzag exclaimed, he had finally drew himself away from the TV for a change, "If you hadn't of killed it, it would of killed you. It's dog eat dog, babe"
Baby felt a little bit better at this, it's just she couldn't help thinking, why didn't I just run like the others?
After dinner, Zigzag, Magnet, Baby and Piglet were in the tent. Magnet was lying on his cot, and Baby and Piglet was sitting on the cot next to his. Zigzag sat opposite them. Piglet got some nail polish out of the pocket in her jumpsuit and began painting her nails.
Zigzag was watching her very intently.
"That actually looks quite fun," Zigzag said randomly.
Piglet looked up and smirked at him, "I really think you are gay sometimes"
Zigzag gave Piglet a dirty look.
"I don't think Ziggy's gay," Baby said, "And if he is there is nothing wrong with it, I don't know why people are so against gays at times, it's a shame. It's not like they can help it, is it"
"Well, if I had a son and he turned out to be gay I'd probably disown him," Piglet said, matter of factly as she blew on her nails.
"Oh my god, that is so sick Piglet," Baby said, "I wouldn't really care if he was gay. I could go shopping with him"
Piglet and Zigzag laughed at this.
"Yeah, but you wouldn't have any grandchildren," Zigzag said.
Baby just shrugged, "I tell you what would be cool, to have a gay best friend, like they have on all those TV shows"
"Oook then," Zigzag rolled his eyes.
Baby just stuck her tongue out at him.
The bell went for dinner and Zigzag got up and left. Baby waited for Piglet who was just finishing off her nails.
The two girls had noticed Magnet had been very quiet this whole time.
Baby looked at him but had to take a second glance, she could of sworn he had his hands down his trousers.
Baby nudged Piglet to get her attention, and nodded towards Magnet so she would look.
Piglet looks and her mouth widens in surprise before forming a grin. The two girls exchange glances whilst trying to suppress their giggles.
Baby had to stuff her fist in her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.
"Um.. Magnet… what are you doing?" Piglet asked slowly.
Magnet looked up innocently but then he noticed the two girls expressions which were a mixture of amusement and a little bit of disgust.
He gave them a confused look before realisation flooded his face. He quickly pulled his hands out, he was blushing slightly.
"I had a wedgie!" he said defensively.
Baby wasn't at all sure whether he was telling the truth or not, "Oh… ok… me and Piglet just thought you were um…" She quickly glanced at Piglet as though asking for Piglet to help her out. Piglet was still grinning and her shoulders were shaking as though she was going to burst out laughing at any minute. Baby was unsure of the right way to put it.
"We just thought you were… giving yourself some pleasure," Baby wasn't even sure if that made sense but Piglet burst out laughing at it.
Magnet looked extremely embarrassed, "I was not! I swear, I had a wedgie!" Baby and Piglet began laughing even more at his frustration and desperation of trying to get them to believe him.
"I did! I did have a wedgie. Seriously! Stop laughing, it's not funny!" Magnet pleaded with them.
Piglet, Baby and Magnet were walking to the mess hall for dinner when they noticed the yellow bus driving back down the road that led out of CGL.
"New camper," Magnet said, nodding towards a figure in the distant who was standing next to what looked like Mr Sir judging from the pot belly.
"Let's go see," Baby said, wondering if it was another girl. She half ran, half skipped towards the person in the distant, Piglet and Magnet followed her.
As they got closer they saw that it was a boy. He was quite tall, probably a little bit shorter than Squid by about an inch and a half. He had mousy brown hair and green eyes. He smiled as the three teenagers approached. Baby noticed he had a nice smile.
"This is John," Mr Sir grunted, "Show him around you lot," and with that he just walked back into his office.
"He's an oddball that one, ain't he?" John said. They noticed that John had some sort of cockney accent, he must be from England.
"Are you from England?" Piglet asked, trust straight- talking Piglet to say what everyone's thinking.
"Ye, as a matter 'o fact I am, London to be precise," he said, giving Piglet a cheeky wink, "And I'm glad there is a couple of good looking birds in this camp to keep me company, I was told it was an all boys"
"Yeah, well we are the only girls… oh and there is Chatterbox," Baby said.
"Chatterbox? What sort 'o a name is that?" John asked.
"It is a nickname, stupid!" Magnet said, he seemed to have taken an instant dislike to John for some reason. Baby wasn't sure why, John seemed like an alright guy.
John just gave Magnet a blatant look, "Have you lot go nicknames too"
"Yeah, I'm Piglet, that's Baby and that moody twat there is Magnet," Piglet introduced them, "What tent are you in John"
"Well that grumpy guy with the massive side burns told me I'm in C tent," John shrugged.
"Oh right, we're in D tent," Baby said, she was kind of disappointed, there was just something about John that she liked.
"Aw, shame, I was looking forward to spending some time with you two," he said, grinning suggestively at Piglet and Baby, "When do I get to see the other bird, if she is as nice as you two then I'm in luck"
Magnet rolled his eyes at this.
"We were going to get dinner," Baby said, "But I don't feel as hungry now, do you want me to show you the rec room"
"Yeah, that would be smashing, love," he said, hoisting his bag back onto his shoulder.
"I'm coming too," Piglet said, not wanting to be left out.
"I ain't," Magnet said grumpily, "I'm starving," He began to walk towards the mess hall alone.
Baby just ignored him and gave John's sleeve a slight tug to get his attention, "C'mon then"
They began walking towards the Rec room and there was no surprise to find it empty as everyone was at dinner.
"Woah! This place is a mess!" John said as he walked in.
"Well what did you expect, a palace?" Piglet asks.
"Guess not," John sighed, shrugging.
"I was just thinking, what did you do that is so bad that you got sent here all the way from England," Baby asked, looking at him warily, she figured it must have been pretty bad to have travelled so far. "I'd prefer not to talk about it, sweetheart," he said, giving her a small smile.
Chatterbox suddenly came into the Rec room, "Where were you two at dinner… I had to sit with the boys… by myself… not that I minded too bad.. But still, where were you"
"Talking to John," Piglet said, "He's a new camper"
"Well hello, darling," John said, giving her a saucy wink.
Chatterbox went scarlet and suddenly all shy before going over to Piglet and began talking in hushed voices.
"You've taken a fancy to Chatterbox then?" Baby asked, smiling.
"No, not really, she's not my type but I flirt with anything that has tits and a nice arse," John said, matter of factly.
Baby gave him a disbelieving look, "Oh kay then. I did not wanna know that"
John laughed a little, "I've been known to be a cheeky little chappie, so you better watch out when your round me,"
I want to make some changes to this story and one of the things is that I want to change the title of this fanfic.
Has anyone got any ideas of what it can be called?
Plus I want you all to vote who should go with who, so please tell me who you think Piglet, Baby and Chatterbox should end up with.
Thanks for all the reviews so far
