CH10- This Is Chapter 10, Right?
It was getting colder, but, luckily, we were all sitting by a warm campfire.
"C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song, and if you don't think that I can sing this faster then you're WRONG, but-"
"Laura!" Lucy shouted. "It's a song! That means you sing it! Not shout it at the top of you lungs! Otherwise they'd call it 'The Campfire Shout-At-The-Top-Of-Your-Lungs!'"
"Good one Lucy," I said, holding a marshmallow over the flames. "Curiosity of curiosities, who does 'they' refer to?"
"Sarah, you always ask that question!"
"I know," I said, watching the flames consume my marshmallow. "I asked in Science who they referred to when the science teacher said that she couldn't move our test until after the exams because 'they' said so."
"What happened?" Lucy asked, putting a marshmallow on a stick.
"She said that she could not answer my question, but not because it was irrelevant to our current discussion, but because she was 'unauthorized' to answer it. And-"
"Sarah!" Laura shouted. "Your marshmallow's on fire!"
And so it was. I pulled it out and blew until the flames settled I also had to wave it around a little. I ended up with what looked like road kill on a stick. I took a bite.
"Eeeeww!" Lucy squealed.
"That's how I eat 'em." I said taking another big bite.
"Grooooossss!"
"Yes, Lucy, it's gross," I said, my mouth full of marshmallow. It started spewing everywhere each time a word left my mallowy mouth. "But beneath the black charred exterior, is the gooey, creamy, fluffy, white center. If only we had chocolate and crackers. I feel like a smore."
"Sarah!" Laura said, patting me on the back. "Don't be so hard on yourself!"
"Shut up!" I said, taking another bite of my fresh-campfire-made-road-kill. "You know, the black outside is crispy and salty!"
"Now I want a Hobo Pack!" Lucy said as she pulled her marshmallow away from the fire.
"A what?" Aang asked.
"A Hobo Pack," she repeated as she took a bite of her marshmallow. "Mmm. Nothing like roasting mellows over a campfire in a cartoon!"
"What's a hobo?" Aang asked, scratching his head.
"You don't know what a hobo is?" Laura gasped. "What's wrong with this place?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out!" I shouted. "I still haven't found a bathroom!"
"Eew," Lucy said, spitting out her marshmallow.
"I guess here," Laura said laughing. "It's not men's or women's, it's pine or oak!"
"You sicko!" I said pushing her.
"You brought it up!" she said, shoving me back.
"You suck Lucy!"
"Wha-ee-i-oo?" she said, her mouth full of marshmallow. I think she was trying to ask, "What did I do?"
"You just suck!"
"Yeah, it gets me through the day."
"HOW MANY TIMES DID I TELL YOU TO STOP SAYING THAT, YOU BUTT NUGGET?" Laura shouted.
"HOLY CRAP!" Lucy shouted ducking.
"You guys!"
"LEMME AT HER!"
"Hold her back!" Aang and Sokka grabbed Lucy and Katara and I grabbed Laura.
"Laura!" I shouted, clutching her arm. "Stop! Whoa! Halt! Cease!"
"WHAT ARE YOU MAD AT ME FOR?" Lucy asked. "SARAH'S THE ONE THAT STARTED IT!" Laura turned and looked at me.
"Whoa!" I said as I ran. "Gotta use the oak!"
Katara put out the fire and everyone went in the tent. I came back creeping slowly. It was quiet so I guessed that they were all asleep. Oh, how wrong I was. I entered the tent slowly, and nothing happened. "Phew!"
"YYAAHHHH!"
"Holy Crap!"
I was trapped under a blanket. A very big one, I might add. I was swinging back and forth and I realized that they were all holding the ends of the blanket and swinging it around like a bag.
"Get me out of this thing!"
"NEVER!" That was definitely Laura.
After what seemed like forever, they put me down and dropped the ends of the blanket. I stood up and was so frikin' dizzy. I started wobbling around. "I hate you guys," I said, struggling to keep my balance. "Ugh." After several moments of this, I collapsed on the floor of the tent. I raised an arm and waved it around. "Truce?" I called out.
"Yeah, sure," Lucy said, laughing.
"Not funny..." I said.
"Here," Sokka said, holding out his hand. I grabbed it and pulled myself up.
"Thanks," I said, holding my head.
"That was so funny!" Laura said.
"Yeah, whatever," I said. "Just you wait...one day it'll be me holding that stupid blanket...say...at one point it felt like I was up in the air. Did you guys throw me?"
"Well this is Avatar," Lucy said. "We decided to have a little fun."
"Yeah," Aang said. "It was great to practice my air bending."
"Great, now I'm a practice dummy."
"No Sarah," Lucy said. "You're just a dummy."
"If I had energy, you would be on the ground, instead of-of- standing up."
"What went up your butt today?"
"I haven't had my tea! When I don't have my tea I get all- ugh."
"All the sugar huh?"
"No, I don't put anything in my tea. It's all the caffeine. Is there a place around here where we can get some tea? There are probably some types not around back home."
"I don't know," Katara said. "Maybe. We were planning to go to the market place tomorrow. We can look for some there."
"Yes!" I said punching the air.
"It's be a long day tomorrow," Laura said with a sigh. I smiled. Yes, it would be a long day tomorrow.
AN- Yes I know...no I don't...come on...I've had only ONE guess at the POV thing..it was wrong but ONLY ONE?...you can do better...what if I give you TWO itty bitty bags of macadamia nuts? ...hahahahahahhaa...hope ya liked the chapter...
