In this chapter we will find out that even though Starlight doesn't know about modern technology, she still knows about the word "cool". Odd, huh? Well, its fanfiction, so…who cares?

I do not own Camp Lazlo. But I do own the wolves in this story.

Chapter Four: Getting to Know One Another

Starlight and Slinkman turned around to see a white platypus standing and smiling in front of them. Behind him stood every camper in camp. There was a monkey, a small rhino, a pink elephant, a couple of purple dung beetles, a guinea pig, a couple of yellow loons, and many others, that gathered behind the platypus. They were staring at Starlight in awe.

The platypus spoke to Starlight again. "You are so cool. Standing up to the scoutmaster like that? Nobody here has the guts to do that."

Starlight was flattered. She had never been called cool before; not even by her own friends back in her pack.

"Well, thank you, umm…I didn't catch your name."

"I'm Edward, the coolest and most macho camper here."

"I'm Starlight."

Slinkman overheard her and Edward talking and realized he forgot to introduce her to the campers. He turned to Starlight. "Oh, I forgot to introduce you." He turned back to the campers. "Campers, this is Starlight. She had an accident and will be staying here for a few weeks. Please make her feel welcome and don't be afraid to introduce yourself."

Immediately after Slinkman finished three campers approached Starlight. One was the monkey, another was the pink elephant, and the last one was the rhino, all of which Starlight had spotted earlier. Out of the corner of her eye Starlight could see the group breaking apart, and the campers going back to their activities.

"Hi, I'm Lazlo", the monkey said. "That's Raj", Lazlo pointed to the elephant with his thumb, "And that's Clam", he then pointed to the rhino. Starlight had heard the name Lazlo before, but couldn't remember when.

Slinkman reminded her, "These are the campers I mentioned to you earlier, in the Vet's office. I mentioned Lazlo's name in my story. These are the three that were with me when I hit you."

Starlight nodded, and then said to the three, "Hi guys." Then she remembered something. "Slinkman, weren't you going to help me get situated here?" Slinkman quickly answered her question. "Yes, I was." Slinkman thought for a moment and then added, "I should probably give you a tour as we-." Slinkman was suddenly interrupted by a loud voice.

"SLINKMAN!" It was Scoutmaster Lumpus. Slinkman sighed. "I have to go. Maybe I can give you a tour later."

Just then, Lazlo's hand shot up. "Oooh oooh! Slinkman, can we give her a tour?" Slinkman looked at Starlight and asked, "Would you mind?"

Starlight shook her head no. "I wouldn't mind." The trio cheered.

"SLINKMAN", Lumpus yelled again. This time Slinkman yelled back. "Coming, Sir." He then turned his attention back to the other four, "I'll see you later." And with that he turned and walked towards the Scoutmaster's office.

Starlight looked at the three campers in front of her. "So…where do we start?"

About 1 hour later (It had taken too long because of her leg.) Starlight had been shown all of the cabins, and learned the names of them, the Mess Hall, the scoutmaster's office, and the marshmallow shack. She had also met some interesting campers. She had met Chip and Skip, the dung beetles that were four cents short of a nickel, a guinea pig named Samson, who had health buddies, and two yellow loons named Dave and Ping-Pong.

"So, what's next", Starlight asked the Jelly Trio right after they met the Loon Brothers? Lazlo gave her a one word answer, "Lunch." Starlight laughed, "Who's that?" "It's not a 'who'; it's a 'what'. It's lunch time." No sooner had Lazlo said that then Slinkman's voice came over the loudspeaker. "Attention campers. Lunch is now being served. Please report to the Mess Hall." Lazlo, Raj, and Clam started walking towards the Mess Hall, but Starlight stopped them. "But what about the tour?"

"Oh, we can finish that after lunch. C'mon, we need to get there before all of the edible food is gone." Starlight took a quick glance down at her cast, and then looked up again. "You guys go ahead. I'll catch up in a few minutes." Lazlo nodded, "Okay." The three turned and ran in the direction of the Mess Hall. Starlight sighed and started walking, or more like hobbling, over to the Mess Hall.

After hobbling for ten 10 minutes, Starlight finally reached the Mess Hall. Outside the door stood Slinkman. He apparently was waiting for her to arrive. He had seen Lazlo, Raj, and Clam come without Starlight. He knew that she would need help opening the door. When she approached he held the door open and said, "Ladies first." "Thank you, Slinkman."

When Starlight entered the room she searched for the Jelly Trio. They spotted her before she spotted them. "Hey Starlight", Lazlo called, "Over here." Starlight saw that they were sitting at a table in the middle of the room. She went over and jumped up next to Lazlo. Raj asked her, "Aren't you going to get something to eat?" She looked at Raj's tray. All she saw was something gray and shriveled. "Um…I don't think so." Clam looked at Starlight, "Smart choice." Starlight laughed.

Lazlo, being curious, started a conversation. "So Starlight, why were you in the road last night." "I was saving a pup from getting hit by the bus. It was my job to make sure everyone made it across the street okay. But, even if it wasn't my job I still would have gone back to save him. In my pack, we all look out for one another."

Lazlo smiled, and then continued to ask questions. "So, does anyone besides Camp Kidney know you're here?" Starlight shook her head 'no'. Raj now joined in on asking questions, "Not even your family? They must be worried sick not knowing where you are." Clam nodded and added, "Very worried." Starlight's ears pulled back and laid flat against her head as she pointed her head to the ground. "No, they aren't", she whispered just loud enough for the Trio to hear.

They were amazed. How could her family not be worried about her? Clam asked the question this time. "Why not?" Starlight looked up from the ground and stared Clam right in the eyes. Tears were in her eyes and when she answered her voice was full of sadness. "Because I have no family."

Gasp Starlight has no family? We will find out what happened to her family in the next chapter. Yea, in this chapter the Jelly Trio introduced her to everyone, instead of the campers introducing themselves.

I'm going to Wisconsin this weekend, so I will probably update once this week, besides this one, and a few next week. Happy Fourth!
