"AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH"
That was the sound I woke up to. For a second I was wondering what the hell was happening but then I remembered the pranks we'd pulled last night.
Connie sat upright being startled into waking up by Averman's screams.
"Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" came next as I recognised the voice as being Goldbergs.
Grinning at each other we ripped the tent open and watched the outcome of our hard work the previous night.
We were greeted by the sight of Averman sprinting across the campsite with a snake at his heels.
"What on earth?" I manage to spit out whilst laughing. It looked like the snake was taking a bite out of his butt with every step.
I looked across to Fulton, Ken and Portman's tents who had the same idea as us. The three Bash Brothers were watching the scene unfold with great delight.
"AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH! SPIDERS!" our attention was drawn to Dwayne and Russ' tent.
I had to see this one up close.
"Come on lets go see!" I suggest to Connie who grinned at me. She wasted no time in leaping out of the tent behind me.
I became aware of Portman laughing as we ran and looked down to realise we were still in our pyjamas. I briefly thought about getting dressed but decided against it when I saw the boys emerging from their tent wearing nothing more than a pair of shorts and a singlet.
Man Fulton's got a nice body I happily thought as Connie tugged on my arm
"Come on!" she protested ignoring the calls from Guy who had woken up.
"What on Earths going on?" Tibbles called from his tent.
I wish I hadn't looked now, his hair was sticking up and he was wearing these horrible silk pyjamas that were a little bit too tight for him.
At least Jan had enough sense to put a robe on.
We simply shrugged trying to contain our laughter as we raced over to Dwayne and Russ' tent.
They had unzipped their tent but hadn't come out after seeing the masses of spider webs covering both entrances.
We peered in and could see them cowering in one corner with a massive black spider in the opposite corner.
I really felt sorry for them. It was obvious they were scared out of their minds.
Fulton must have felt guilty too as he stepped forward.
"I'll get you guys out" he announced shooting Portman a dirty look when he thumped Fulton's arm in protest. That guy is such a jerk!
"I'll help" I followed Fulton's lead.
Connie, Guy and Ken also stepped forward. That left Portman who was annoyed that this prank had turned bad and Adam who was rubbing his eyes in disbelief. He had no idea what was going on.
I glanced at Adam. He had no idea how incredibly lucky he was that Connie had woken Guy up. God knows what the Bashes had planned to do to them.
We spent a good ten minutes picking the spider webs off of the tent and once the entrance was free Russ and Dwayne shot out. They were both visibly shaking.
"Thanks guys you saved our lives!" Dwayne spoke through deep breaths.
I've never felt so guilty in my entire life.
"Don't thank us" Fulton replied.
Russ and Dwayne didn't answer. They were too busy staring at Charlie and Jesse's tent.
"Why is their tent in the air like that?" Dwayne asked rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Portman lost his composure and started laughing.
Russ looked at him through narrow eyes. He was realising what was going on.
Oh crap! We're busted.
Russ headed towards his tent and climbed in. I knew what he was doing.
Fulton glanced at me. He knew what was happening too.
"Very funny guys" Russ emerged with the huge black spider.
Dwayne's eyes grew wide in fear.
"Russ" he began.
"It's a fake Dwayne. They've played a prank on us" Russ replied.
Dwayne's face fell. It was heartbreaking to watch. I felt so guilty.
"A prank?" he said softly.
"Paybacks a bitch ain't it" Portman grinned stupidly.
"Yeah alright you got me" Russ replied.
"Payback?" Dwayne was confused.
"Sorry Cowboy, you get pranked by association. You can thank Russy boy for that" Portman answered.
"Dude don't call me Russy Boy" Russ was a little pissed off. Not that I blame him.
"What on earth is going on here?" Coach Bombay demanded to know. He was staring at Charlie and Jesse's tent.
He looked at Fulton and Portman who honestly looked guilty.
"I see, a little payback for LA" Coach Bombay realised. He had to admit Charlie and Jesse definitely had it coming but as the adult, he had to punish them.
"Right, I'm guessing you lot had something to do with it too" he gestured to Julie, Connie, Guy, Adam and Ken who all hung their heads, with the exception of Adam. He grew defensive.
"Hey I didn't do anything!" he protested.
"Yeah Coach he didn't" Connie stuck up for the cake-eater.
"Okay, then you seven" he indicated to the rest of us.
"Wow!" he was interrupted by Luis who'd heard the commotion.
"Guys will you all shut up! I have a headache" Charlie's grumpy voice rang out from the airborne tent.
"Um Charlie" Coach Bombay tried to warn him before he opened the tent and got out but it was too late.
"Ow!" Charlie complained when he fell the short distance to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Coach Bombay rushed forward. The entire team knew that Charlie was his favourite.
"Yeah I landed on something soft" Charlie realised that the pranksters had left a pile of leaves right where they anticipated the landing to be.
"See we didn't want to kill him" Portman opened his mouth.
"Jesse?" Bombay yelled.
"GO away mom!" Jesse yelled back as the group could see him roll over.
"Jesse time to wake up!" Coach Bombay continued.
Jesse stuck his head out of the tent.
"Whoah! Why yous all down there?" he asked sleepily. It hadn't clicked that he was in the air.
"This tent feels all wobbly" Jesse continued wondering why there wasn't anything solid beneath him.
"Oh" he added when he saw the faces of the other Ducks.
"I hate you guys" he directed the comment to Portman and Fulton who wore grins on their faces.
The smile on Fulton's face was definitely worth any trouble I'd get into.
"Be careful getting down. Aim for that pile of leaves" Bombay instructed thinking it would be better to get the boy out of the tent first before removing the ropes.
Jesse did as was told but decided to show off and do a somersault out of the tent to land on his back.
Connie rolled her eyes. It wasn't really that impressive.
"Coach someone tied a snake to my foot" Averman approached the group holding a rubber snake in his hand.
Coach Bombay looked at the Bash Brothers.
"Was there anyone you didn't prank?" he asked suddenly feeling very afraid.
"You Coach" Portman gave him a toothy grin.
Bombay had to laugh at that.
"Come on lets get that tent down" Jan instructed getting us all moving.
It was easier getting the thing down than getting it up, especially with the help of more people.
As part of our punishment we had to put the tent up properly.
I'd hate to think what the other parts were going to be. Oh well it would be fun if it meant spending time with Fulton.
