That night Chase was fed up with Squid. All day he hadn't talked to her or
even looked at her, which made her feel even worse about what she had done.
Everyone was packing their bags with onions and filling their canteens with water as they would be leaving the next day when everyone was awake. Squid was talking to ZigZag and Xray, occasionally laughing making Chase feel weak in the knees.
Zippy, who knew all about Chase's desire to apploigize, kept nudging her and nodding towards Squid every few minutes. Finally when Chase was sick of watching Squid from afar (not to mention getting poked in the arm by Zippy) she got to her feet and headed Squid's way.
"Yeah, that was sweet," Squid was saying to Xray and ZigZag when Chase approached him.
"Umm.....Squid, can I talk to you for a second?" she asked.
All three of the boys stared at her in a confused sort of way.
"Sure," Squid said, getting to his feet and following Chase over to the rocks they had kissed behind.
"Do you hate me?" Chase asked, turning to face him.
Squid looked completely confused now.
"No........." he said slowly.
"'Cause you've been ignoring me all day, and I can't help but think its 'cause I hit you earlier today, and I-"
"No it's not that," Squid said with a laugh (Chase didn't see what was so funny about the whole thing). "I'm only doing what you wanted me to do," he replied.
"Huh?" Chase asked.
"Remember, you wanted me to stop following you and everything," Squid explained. "I said I only do that if you kissed me. I got what I wanted and now I'm giving you what you wanted."
"Oh, yeah," Chase said with a laugh as if she had known this the whole time. "I just don't like having people all mad at me so I just had to make sure you know."
Squid raised his eyebrow. "Sure........" he said. "You okay now?"
"Yeah-of coarse," Chase laughed again.
"Okay........" Squid said, eyeing Chase.
"You can.....um.......go back now," Chase said embarrassedly.
Squid shrugged and headed back to the Oasis.
Chase hated herself. Why the hell had she ever been such a bitch to Squid? It only made things all terrible and complicated now-especially since Squid was nice enough to give Chase what she had said she wanted. Now she wanted him! But she couldn't tell him that; it would make her seem stupid and unsure.
Sadly Chase walked back into the Oasis and sat down next to Zippy who wanted an answer.
Chase shrugged. She didn't feel like going into details right now and she didn't want Zippy to start poking her again.
Fidget woke up early the next morning, her stomache aching. She furrowed her brow in confusion then suddenly the realization hit her and she started panicing.
"Lei! Lei! Wake up!" she cried, shaking Lei's shoulders.
"What is it!" Lei said groggily.
"It's an emergency!" Fidget cried, pulling Lei to her feet.
Twitch stretched his arms and yawned; he was the second-to-last person to wake up (Armpit was the last).
"Here we go again," Twitch said between yawns. "On the road again-whoo- everyone ready?-ha-hey where's Fidget?"
The others shrugged.
"Over here," Fidget said, walking into the Oasis from a hill of rocks she had been behind, Lei followed here with a look of plain pity on her face.
"Hey Fidget-you ready to go?" Twitch asked excitedly.
Fidget eyed him, her brow furrowed, before walking over to her back pack.
All the D tent boys stared at each other in shock. Fidget had always come off to them as an ever-happy sweet sort of person; they had never seen her dis someone-especially Twitch.
Twitch looked a little hurt but he had too much nervous energy to fret for long. "Well wake up Armpit!" he cried. "Let's go!-ha-I'm ready!"
"Shut up Twitch!" Armpit cried, pressing his hands over his ears.
"Sheesh! Touchy!" Twitch replied.
"Not touchy just sleepy!" Armpit said, closing his eyes again and attempting to fall asleep.
But Twitch wouldn't let him, he was too excited.
"Hey Fidget can you hand me my canteen?" Squid asked; his canteen was lyeing near Fidget's back pack.
"Get it yourself!" Fidget snapped.
Squid and ZigZag stared at each other. Fidget didn't notice all the boy's shock and continued getting ready for the day.
"You're face feeling better?" Zippy asked Static; none of the girls seemed to notice Fidget's touchiness.
"Yeah," Static replied, "It only hurts a little bit now-like once every while." Her face was starting to look better; it wasn't AS purple anymore.
Zero hiked his back pack straps over his shoulders. "What's wrong with Fidget?" he asked Zippy.
But Zippy just raised her eyebrows in a questioning way.
"Don't touch me!" Fidget snapped at Twitch who had just come up behind her.
"Jeez! Sorry! You okay? What's wrong?" Twitch asked quickly.
"Yes I'm okay!" Fidget replied shortly.
"I'm all ready to go, who else is?" Lei asked.
"I am," Chase and Static said.
All the girls seemed to be ready but the boys seemed to be too occupied with Fidget's new attitude to get ready.
"Don't worry guys," Lei said, putting her back pack on. "She's always bitchy when it's that time of the month."
At first the boys weren't quite sure what Lei was talking about.
"That means she just got her period," Chase explained with a laugh.
Fidget glared at the boys.
