"I like Zero a lot!" Zippy said the next morning, as the girls sleepily got
up and got ready to dig. Even early in the morning Zippy was a live wire.
"Yeah," Chase said, yawning. "You two would make a really cute little couple."
Zippy grinned and hopped around the tent, annoying some of the people like Magnetic who weren't morning people.
"Could you hand me a shovel please?" Chase asked while Zippy reached up into the 'Library' and grabbed two shovels.
"Come on girls," Friction said after they had all gotten their shovels. They all followed Mr. Sir out onto the lake, where he directed each girl to where they would be digging.
Magnetic dug her shovel into the hard earth's surface. She didn't seem like she would be good at digging in the boy's opinions, but her time at Camp Lakeway had changed that. "I look so bad in this outfit," she complained as her dirt pile grew larger. "I mean it's orange, it's baggy, it's just SO hideous!"
"Would you shut up!" Chase cried, "It's too early for your annoyance fest!"
Magnetic glared at Chase, but she didn't complain anymore for the rest of the morning.
"Ouch!" Fidget cried as her shovel hit a big rock.
"What?" Twitch asked urgently.
"Oh nothin'," Fidget replied. "I just got a sliver in my hand from the shovel shaft." She held her hand up to her face to examine it.
"Wow, the ground here seems a lot softer than at Lakeway," Lei said, pushing her shovel back into the dirt. "It's a lot easier."
Squid and Xray raised their eyebrows at each other.
A few hours later the water truck rolled around, and it was kind of odd getting in line. Back at Camp Lakeway the girl's line up had been Chase, Zippy, Magnetic, Fidget, Rogue, Static, and Lei. Here they had to compromise.
Xray tried to get Rogue to be in the front of the line, right in front of him, but she had refused and gone to the very back of the line. So Xray let Lei cut in front of him instead. Twitch wanted Fidget to stand next to him, and Magnet wanted all the girls around him-but he had to cope with just two girls. Zero had Zippy cut him and Zippy had Chase cut her, which Chase didn't want to do but Zippy had insisted. The new lineup went like this; Lei, Xray, Squid, Magnetic, Zigzag, Static, Magnet, Fidget, Twitch, Armpit, Chase, Zippy, Zero, and Rogue. It was a longer wait for their water but a lot of them didn't really care.
"Where do you go to the bathroom in this place?" Magnetic asked, a few hours later.
"Pick a hole, any hole," Magnet replied with a big grin.
"EW NO!" Magnetic replied. "There's no way in hell I'm peein' in a hole!"
So Magnetic had walked all the way to the compound and back to use the bathroom, wasting a lot of her digging time.
Zippy had never really been the best digger of D tent, it wasn't that she wasn't strong or anything, she was just so small. Sometimes when Chase had finished her hole at Camp Lakeway she would jump into Zippy's hole and help her out. That way they'd both finish together, and Zippy wouldn't be left all by herself.
There had never really been a 'fastest digger' in D tent for the girls. Sometimes Chase finished first, sometimes Fidget finished first, sometimes Magnetic finished first-if she hadn't spent most of her time complaining about the dirt or the heat or how gross sweat was.
Today however, Rogue finished first, and she headed back to the compound looking pissed (the girls had never spat in their holes after they finished). Then Zero finished, but he didn't leave, he walked up to Zippy and helped her dig.
That's my job, Chase thought for a moment, but then she watched the two for a minute and saw that they really would make a cute couple, so her negative attitude changed.
"Done," she said at last. It was so hot she was starting to get a headache.
Xray finished too, and immediately after he'd spat in the hole he ran back to the compound to find Rogue. Fidget finished next, and Squid after her. A while later while Fidget, Magnetic, Chase, Lei, and Static were all walking towards the compound when Zippy ran up calling after them.
"Hey," she said when she reached them. Then to Chase she said, "I probably would have finished sooner 'cause Zero is a great digger but we spent a lot of the time talking!" She grinned.
When the girls reached the compound they were dirty and smelly, and all of them would do anything for a shower. But when they walked up to the shower stalls they all stopped. The stall didn't go that high and the girls were worried one of the boys might see something.
"I'm not takin' a shower in one of those!" Static said. Lei and Fidget were giggling as there was a boy in the third stall.
"Aren't there any other showers?" Zippy asked.
Rogue walked up to the group of girls, she hadn't taken a shower yet either.
"There is no way in hell I'm taking a shower in that!" she snapped. "None of these damn boys are seein' me naked!"
"I know," Fidget said, cracking her knuckles over and over again. "That would be really embarrassing!"
"Oh please, no boy would be able to see anything unless you were what, six foot two?" Magnetic said.
"Yeah but still," Lei said. "This is a boy's camp."
"No it's not!" Magnetic argued. "Not anymore!"
Chase looked around, some boys were watching them laughing, and a bunch of girls were getting back from digging, complaining about the showers just as D tent was. A few steps away Olivia Danker was talking to her friends.
"I mean these boys are jerks!" she cried. "Yesterday they wouldn't stop looking down my top, and some of them kept pinching my butt!"
In a way Chase felt sorry for Olivia; it must be tough to have a bunch of dumb asses bothering her all because she's pretty. But Chase didn't feel too sorry for Olivia; it was hard to pity someone who looked good even in a baggy orange jumpsuit.
"Oh my god! You guys are pathetic!" Magnetic said. She then pushed past everyone and stepped into one of the stalls.
"She's crazy," Zippy whispered. Chase laughed.
After removing her clothes Magnetic turned the water on and started taking her shower. She didn't seem to mind the onlookers though, as they could no more than her head and shoulders. But what Magnetic didn't see was Magnet. He was standing off to the side when he winked at Squid and started moving toward the shower.
"See, no problem!" Magnetic shouted at the D tent girls.
"Hola chika!" Magnet said, he was leaning against the shower stall smiling at Magnetic.
Magnetic screamed, and, with a towel wrapped around her, raced out of the shower stall. "You fucking bastard!" she screamed, as she ran towards D tent.
Magnet, Zigzag, Squid, and Xray couldn't stop laughing.
"I'm not taking a shower now," Chase said, but she too couldn't help laughing. The whole ordeal was pretty funny.
"Who's next?" Magnet asked, grinning.
"Yeah," Chase said, yawning. "You two would make a really cute little couple."
Zippy grinned and hopped around the tent, annoying some of the people like Magnetic who weren't morning people.
