Working Together..(Finally)

Team 2: Julie, Portman, Adam, Guy, Jesse, Ken, (minus-Averman)

"You guys," Portman whispered. Everyone was sleeping, or at least trying to.
"Pss," he called out. "Portman shut up. We're trying to sleep," Julie said.
"Julie," he said inching his way towards her.
"Don't get too close Portman. Remember the two feet rule," she said.
"But I'm scared," he said. "Scared of what?" she asked impatiently.
"Can I just...sleep next to you or something?" he asked.
"No," she said turning over.
"Please..." he asked. She tried to ignore him. There was silence again. Next she heard Portman whimpering.
"Portman what's that noise you're making?" Julie asked turning to face him.

"Nothing," he said clearly crying.
"OK. Fine," she said. "You can sleep with me, but no touching," she said. He slid over to her side, and gave a sigh of relief.

"I'm so happy you're on my team," he said smiling.

"And why is that?" she asked with one eye open.
"Cause...you know," Portman said.
"No, I don't know," she said impatiently.
"Nothing bad really," he said getting nervous.

"It's just you're like one of the guys," he said.

"Well, guess what Portman!" she said sitting up. "I'm not one of the guys. I'm a girl. I'd like to be treated like a lady. Not like a baggy pants, bandana wearing, talks while he chews pig!" she said.

"I talk while I chew?" Portman asked.

"Ugh that's not the point!" she said.
"I treat you like a lady don't I?" Portman asked. Julie looked at him in disbelief.
"Yea winking at me, and slapping my ass," she said sarcastically.
"OK OK fine," he said. "I promise to be more 'gentleman like,' or whatever you said," he said.
Julie smiled. "I'm very proud of you Portman. You're finally growing up," she said.
He looked at her, and decided, hey what the hell, and kissed her when she wasn't expecting it. She was liking it for a split second till she noticed it was Portman...kissing her.
She pushed him off, and he fell back.
"Portman I said be a gentleman you ass!" she squealed.
"Wasn't I being one?" he asked. She took in a deep breath.
"Once a pig always a pig," she said finally turning over in her covers, and falling asleep.

(Two Hours Later)

Guy awoke when he felt a drop of water on his face. He lazily opened one eye forgetting where he was for a moment. When he realized he was still in the woods he sat up suddenly. He raised his palm into the air, and felt that it was beginning to rain.

"You guys wake up," he said. The others just stirred, and some mumbled to be left alone. He raised an eyebrow when he saw Portman cuddling with Julie. He pulled his blanket over his head when he heard a loud thunder. That's when the others awoke.

"Woah what was that?" Julie said sitting up. She saw that Portman's hand was on her, and she screamed.
"Portman!" she yelled. "What!" he said obviously surprised at her reaction.
"What did I say about being a gentleman?" she said.
"So I'm a gentleman again?" he said clearly confused.

"We need to get to a safer place," Jesse said.
"This whole place is dangerous it's the woods," Adam said stating the obvious.

The rain began to come down harder. They all huddled into blankets, but still getting soaked in rain. They moved into a deeper area in the woods where the tops of the trees were blocking out most of the rain. "I'm so tired!" Ken said wiping at his eyes.

"My body aches," Jesse said.
"I miss Connie," Guy stated.
"Where the hell is Coach? Where the hell is the rest of our team?" Jesse said.

"You know what? I'm tired of this shit!" Portman said throwing down his blanket. "We're gonna get out of here, and we're gonna get out of here soon!" he said.

He was trying to motivate them, but was failing miserably.
"C'mon we're a team aren't we?" he asked.
"Half a team," Guy said.
"That's not the point," Julie said. "I mean I think we're being tested. We are left here in an unfamiliar territory fighting desperately to survive by working together to reach our goals," she said. They all looked at her.
"I'm bad at tests," Adam said.
"Yea you lost me with the big words," Portman said.

"Doesn't this scenario sound familiar?" she asked. "We came into Eden Hall, an unfamiliar territory, and we've been fighting to survive there by working together. So why can't we do it here?" she said. They all contemplated her idea.
"Julie's right yet again," Adam said.

"So go ahead Julie you're the leader," Jesse said.
"No," she said. "We'll work together to figure this out," she said.
They all nodded.
"So it's obvious that we have to find the others," Guy said.

"Then we have to figure a way to get the hell out of here," Julie said.

Team 1: Connie, Fulton, Luis, Charlie, Dwayne, Russ, Goldberg (plus+Averman)

"This friecken sucks!" Fulton complained. They were also huddled in a group trying to protect themselves from the rain.
"Listen there's no way we're gonna get any sleep, so I say we start trying to find the other group," Connie said.
"I agree," Goldberg said.
"But it's raining," Dwayne said.
"It's now or never," Connie said. "Now Averman, do you remember where the river you crossedwas?" she asked.

"Not exactly," he answered. "But, I do remember where the river is," he said.
She slapped her forehead.
"Very good Averman," she said slowly. She sighed.

Averman led the way, and soon the rest followed stepping in mud, and soaking in the rain.
At least they were on their way to finding their other half.

Side Note:

I thought I should thank everyone who reviewed all the way from Chapter 1 to (recent) Chapter 6.

Banksiesbabe99- Lol, most of the humor I put in the story is just something I would say, or something my friends would do, so yea we're some weird kids I know.

cakeeater- oh yes Guy, and Connie's relationship will be tested for sure. I'm only on the seventh chapter, I don't know how many chapters there will be because I'm just writing as I go along, but I haven't forgotten about Guy or Connie yet.

grumpypirate- haha thanks.
