Trouble at Camp
Chapter Three: Welcome to Camp Pinecone
Everyone looked out the bus window. There was…nothing... except a few bags and some people with the same t-shirt and shorts as the lady who had just stepped in.
Everyone gaped…
Where were all the cabins and lodges?
What was going on?
"Where's the camp?" Raven dared to ask the very…energetic lady.
"Not here!"
Everyone looked at each other.
"What do you mean?" Robin asked.
"I mean it's somewhere else"
"Where?" May-Lin asked.
The blonde woman turned and pointed at the top of a mountain.
"Up there, that's where! Now hop out of the bus, with all ya stuff!" She sounded so excited she almost sounded like Larry.
"Aren't we gonna drive up there?" Sapphire asked.
"No way! Now you're at camp, you can't rely on electronics and cars and stuff like that!"
"Aww…no fair…that's a really long walk!" Beast Boy whined.
"And it'd do you all good!"
Everyone groaned.
"Oh, quit being such babies, it's only a twelve kilometre walk!"
Everyone groaned louder.
Eventually, everyone reluctantly got off the bus.
Except Beast Boy.
He clung on to the seat as if his life depended on it.
The camp guide had to drag him out.
As the bus flew off before anyone could jump back in, Beast Boy screamed.
"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
May-Lin kissed him on the cheek.
Beast Boy shut up and let out a tiny sniffle.
The other camp guide's bounded up to them.
They were all in their twenties.
The blonde woman from earlier started.
"My name is Holly, I'm Vice Camp Leader. I organize the groups you'll be in for your activities and I am sort of the camp nurse"
A short, brown haired lady stepped forward.
"My name is Tina, I give everyone their meals!"
A black haired Boy stepped up.
"My name's Mark. I'm an activity guide."
Another boy stepped up, except with red hair.
"My name's Frank. But you can call me Frankenstein! Beware, I like practical jokes…hehehe…I, too, am an activity guide"
The last camp guide, a tall lady with long black hair stepped up.
"I am Sue. I hate my name. Call me something like Midnight, or Dark, or anything, even an insult, just DON'T call me Sue. I am your Camp Leader. I have decided what activities you'll be in and when!" Sue spoke as if she was Larry. Fast, happy and sort of hyper.
There was an awkward silence.
"Well, come on, let's get going!" Sue said.
Everyone picked up there bags. They started walking up the mountain trail.
This was gonna be a looooonnnnnnnnggggggggg day.
$lalalalalalalalalalalala - trip there - lalalalalalalalalalalala$
"Are we there yet?" asked a tired, bored, Beast Boy.
"No" answered May-Lin.
"Are we there yet?" Beast Boy asked ten seconds later.
"No"
"Are we there yet now?"
"No"
"I'm bored…"
"I noticed"
"Let's play a game!"
"Okay!"
"I spy with my little eye something beginning with…T"
"Lemme guess…trees?"
"Yeah"
"My turn, I spy with my little eye something beginning with…R."
"Rock?"
"Yeah"
"I spy with my little eye something beginning with…G"
"Ground."
"You know everything, don't you?" Beast Boy asked May-Lin.
May-Lin shrugged.
Beast Boy paused for a moment.
"Are we there yet?"
May-Lin clenched her fists. Couldn't he see they weren't there yet?
May- Lin smiled and said no.
She did love him, so she had to forgive him.
She looked how the others were going.
Raven and Sapphire were walking in silence. When all the camp guides weren't looking, they floated.
'I can't blame them for cheating' May-Lin thought 'I mean, I'd do the same if I could'
She looked over to where Starfire and Robin were.
Starfire was asking endless questions about camping, camp guides, why the camp guides wouldn't allow her to fly, why were there all these trees and where was the mall of shopping.
May-Lin felt truly sorry for Robin. Though Robin seemed to enjoy all the attention.
She turned her gaze to Cyborg.
He was walking next to a girl with long brown hair.
May-Lin smirked.
She nudged Beast Boy.
"Hey BB, look at that"
Beast Boy smirked when he saw what May-Lin was smirking at.
"Well, I think you've found something to amuse me for awhile. Ways to get that girl and Cy together"
"You read my mind!" May-Lin gave Beast Boy a high-five and the two started plotting.
$lalalalalalalalalalalala - arrival - lalalalalalalalalalalala$
"We're here!" sang Sue.
Everyone collapsed onto the ground, thirsty, hungry and exhausted.
"That wasn't so bad, now was it?" Holly said.
Everyone groaned. It hadn't been bad. It had been Pure Torture.
It was only then that all the teenagers looked at the camp site. There was trees surrounding an area with a big lodge. There were two small brick buildings in the distance. There was nothing else but a small circle made with stones.
"Now everyone, get up and get into the lodge. Frank will teach you some camp rules and etcetera"
Groaning, everyone rose slowly and walked inside.
Inside was a big hall. There were chairs and tables stacked in one corner of the giant hall.
Frank sat on a chair next to the fire place.
Everyone else sat on the floor.
"Welcome to Camp Pinecone. Each day, you'll have one to two daily activities. Each day you'll have a night activity. So two or three activities per day altogether. The only times you'll be in here are when it's raining, breakfast, dinner and after a shower. All of you will be helping in the kitchen six times in the next two weeks. You'll either have scullery duty or serving duty. Scullery duty – you clean all the dishes. Serving duty- you serve food. Got it?" Frank informed.
Everyone nodded.
"Oh just so you know, there are two small brick buildings not too far from here. They're bathrooms. The left is for girls, right for boys. Both have showers. YOU WILL NOT, I REPEAT, WILL NOT GO INTO THE OTHER GENDER'S BATHROOM!!! GOT IT?"
Everyone nodded. The perverts just sighed.
"Okay, now we got that clear, another two rules. One, you must always participate in activities, even if you don't want to. Two, you must NEVER run. Being as hilly and rocky as this place is, you'll fall and land on your arm, and it will break, and you'll cry, and I'll laugh at you, and then you'll cry harder, and then I'll laugh so much I'll get a stitch, and I'll cry, and then you'll laugh at me, and etcetera. So don't run!" Frank said.
Everyone nodded.
Kate whispered to Cyborg, "Gee…he's not very nice, is he?"
Frank clapped his hands together.
"Well let's get started! Your first activity is to set up your tent. I suggest you try hard if you want to sleep tonight!"
"WE'RE SLEEPING IN TENTS!?!?!?!?!?!?!" The titans yelled.
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
There was silence. The titans looked at each other. They lived in a ten story tower, with the most modern appliances, a huge TV, the best electronics in the world, and they had to sleep…IN TENTS??? This was DEFINANTLY a new experience.
"Now, before we set up tents, there's something you need to learn…"
