"Where exactly are we going?" Magnetic asked, she was tired of walking and
wanted to rest.
"To that big thumb up there," Chase said.
The girls stared at her as if she were mad.
"There's this mountain up there," Chase said. "And it looks like a thumb."
"And why are we going there?" Lei asked.
Chase shrugged her shoulders. "We need somewhere to go," she said.
"Can we eat now?" Zippy asked, her stomach had been growling for a while now.
"Yeah!" the other girls agreed.
They pulled one of the cans out of Fidget's backpack and Rogue opened it with her knife. The girls wrinkled their noses as the smell of canned beans filled the air.
"God, do we have to eat that stuff?" Magnetic asked.
"Well, if you're hungry," Static said, she then scooped some of the beans out of the can with her fingers and reluctantly ate it.
The other girls watched her, waiting for her reaction.
But Static didn't look too thrilled and as soon as she'd swallowed the beans she quickly grabbed for her canteen.
"They're that bad?" Fidget asked.
"They're worse!" Static said. "Ah! Sick! How can those Green Lake boys live on this crap?"
The other girls stared at the can in horror; they were all very hungry but they didn't want to risk death!
"God I think I'm gonna be sick!" Static said. "How old are those?"
"The supply truck did come a long time ago," Lei said.
"Oh great," Chase said. "No showers, no food, and a bunch of ugly lizards that can kill us!"
"Well it was your idea to leave!" Static said.
"Was not!" Chase argued. "This whole plan was Rogue's and Magnetic's!"
"Oh blame me?" Magnetic said, she was really annoyed now. "We wouldn't have thought up this stupid plan if you hadn't started yelling about wanting to leave Green Lake!"
"YOU GUYS!!!!" Zippy yelled. "Come on, we have to get going. You're wasting time with your stupid arguing!"
Chase glared at Magnetic for a second then continued walking.
"Just eat the damn beans!" Zigzag said, holding the can in Zero's face.
But Zero just pushed Zigzag's hand away. "How old are those?" he asked, wrinkling his nose.
"Who cares?" Armpit asked, taking a handful of the beans.
"They'll probably kill us," Squid said. "But who cares, if we don't die from expired beans we'll die from yellow spotted lizards or no water or something." He too ate some of the beans.
"I wonder what Zippy's doing right now?" Zero asked.
"Oh they're probably all laughing at how they fooled us that day that they left," said Squid.
"Man, get over it," Magnet said as he swallowed some beans.
"No," Zero said, "I wonder where they are. Was the point of this trip to catch up to the girls?"
"YES," Zigzag said quickly.
"No, it was to get out of that hell hole," said Squid.
"Literally," Armpit said and laughed at himself. No one else did.
"Squid, we all know that you wanna find Chase," Xray said, nudging Squid. "Don't hide it, you know you want to."
Squid shoved him back. "Don't touch me!" he said as Xray shoved him back. Back and forth, went the shoving until Zero stuck himself in between Xray and Squid.
"Dude! We're wasting time!" he said, trying to break the two apart.
Squid glared at Zero for a moment before he turned away and continued walking.
