Woot, I don't own Holes! Let's celebrate!

Alice picked at her arm, still muttering "dastardly" under her breath as Juliana fumed about Adrienne.

"And she just let him say it like that, like I was scum!" Juliana glared at nothing in particular. Adrienne had disappeared. "'Hey.' Not 'Hey Juliana' or 'Hey, you don't have a nickname,' just 'Hey.' What is with that?"

"Dastardly, I'm telling you!" Alice frowned.

"I know! I deserve a name!"

"Caveman deserved a day off if he found it!"

"And she hasn't tried to give me a name!"

"Caveman is slow at his holes! It takes him all day when X-Ray's takes a quarter of the time!"

"She hasn't even talked to Magnet for me! She would always do that!"

Then they spoke together:

"God, X-Ray is such a jerk!"

"God, Adrienne is such a jerk!"

Then they sat there fuming, not realizing that all their venting wasn't even about the same thing. Just then, X-Ray slammed in between Alice and Juliana and put his arm around Alice, looking proud of himself.

"How about another kiss for the great treasure finder!" he leaned in, but Alice pushed him away forcefully.

"I would rather kiss Mr. Sir than you," she answered.

"Don't say that too loud, or Gina will soccer punch you. She tackled some kid when he said that he was so in need of human contact, he would kiss Mr. Sir," Juliana said lazily, still mad.

"Come on, baby, we just kissed the other day," X-Ray ignored Juliana.

"I only did that so no one would get in trouble. And then, I puked in a hole," Alice lied.

"You did not! You liked it! Admit it!"

"X-Ray, I wouldn't even like it if I was so drunk that you looked like Denzel Washington. Of course, then I wouldn't have to remember it. Actually, I would rather not remember you at all. When I get out of here, you won't be a second thought."

"Cause I'll be a first."

"You are stupid!"

"Stupid like a fox."

"That doesn't even make sense!"

"Hey, where's Brazen? She got a letter!" Magnet asked as he walked up.

"Hell if I know," Juliana answered bitterly.

"What did she do to you?" Magnet asked.

"She just ruined my life!" Juliana stood up and took the letter. "I'll give it to her. Thanks, Magnet."

And with that, she was out of the wreck room. Alice, X-Ray and Magnet stared after her.

"She doesn't have a name yet, you know," Magnet mentioned.

"Maybe we should call her Fume because that is all she ever does," X-Ray replied.

Alice hit him hard in the arm, "Juliana is my friend! I would appreciate if you didn't say things like that about her!"

"Dawg," X-Ray said slightly, expecting some word of that nature since Alice hadn't acted black in some time.

"That's right! Dawg. Because I am a black woman!" Alice again attempted a z-snap and again it didn't turn out, so she, again, stormed out of the wreck room in shame.

"I have no idea why they act like that, but it is really starting to annoy me," X-Ray said to Magnet.

Magnet nodded in approval, and the two got up to play pool.


Juliana walked to C-Tent staring at the letter. She had started laughing when she first saw who it was from, but then her mood became grave. Cecil wrote a letter to Adrienne, and he didn't even know about Squid. She opened the flap of her tent still staring down at it.

"Adrienne, you got a letter from…" she looked up to see Adrienne and Squid making out. "Ew, dude. And in our tent!"

Juliana rushed out, shocked and angry. Adrienne flew out after her.

"Juliana! Juliana! Jules, I'm sorry!" Adrienne called after her. "We'll go somewhere else next time."

Juliana turned to look at her friend with the meanest look she could muster, "It's not about that, Adrienne. It's about you actually taking in this crap! I can't believe you would actually buy into the stupid stereotype thing that Gina made up! It's so insulting and degrading, and you are just following it! I mean, with what she did to poor Greg and Alice and then making you dress like a whore, I thought you would be against it!"

"Just because I am good at playing the part does not mean that I am all for it. I'm just trying to do the mission. You could try a little harder, you know. You have never acted like 'one of the guys.'" Adrienne responded.

"Because it's stupid! All of this is stupid!"

"I know! It's moronic, but we have to do what Gina says to make it! When this is done, she will hopefully be fired, and we can do real missions, but until then, we have to deal with this!"

"And dealing with it is making out with some hoodlum when you have a boyfriend?"

"I don't have a boyfriend anymore!"

"He wrote you a letter. That is kind of what boyfriends do!"

"He's not my boyfriend anymore, Juliana."

"Because you would rather be with Squid there, right?"

"Look, just because you can't get Magnet to take a second look at you does not mean that I can't have my fun!"

"Well, according to your example, I would have to act like a whore to get his attention, and I would rather keep my values."

"What values, Juliana? If I remember so clearly, there was that incident in the back of your parents' car with Rick when you were still with Josh? Oh, and then there was that incident at the carnival with Harry…."

"You promised you wouldn't tell anyone!" Juliana hissed.

"You just called me a whore!"

"I said you were acting like a whore!"

"It's the same thing!"

"You know what, Adrienne? I know why your mom hasn't sent your Yale envelope yet."

"Why is that, Juliana?"

"Because you didn't get in. No school, especially Yale, would want you."

"Take it back!"

"No!"

"Take it back!"

"No!"

"TAKE IT BACK!"

"NO!"

"You know what, Juliana? Magnet doesn't want you because you can't dig."

"How dare you say that?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

"JUST TRY!"

"FINE, I WILL!"

They stood glaring at each other for a moment.

"Well, Jules, are you killing me yet?"

"I'm going to do it!"

"Then do it!"

"I will!"

"Okay, so do it!"

"I'm getting right on that!"

"So… are you killing me now?"

"I'm making a plan of action!"

"Right, I'm sure you are."

"Don't condescend me!"

"I will condescend you if I damn well please!"

"Shut up, slut!"

"That's it!"

Adrienne leaped on Juliana, and they started to fight. It was not much like those movie catfights with the girls just rolling around on the ground and tearing off each other's clothes. No, Adrienne and Juliana were simply punching, kicking, biting and generally fighting without limits. Alice ran up, trying to stop the two before they got in trouble.

"What are you two doing? Stop!" Alice screamed at them.

"You stay out of it, Alice," Adrienne said as her and Juliana were squaring off.

"You guys were friends like a week ago and now you are killing each other! I don't understand!"

"I don't understand either! I don't know what I did!" Adrienne answered, dodging a punch from Juliana.

"You have changed, Adrienne! You became the stereotype you were given when you hated it in the beginning! You did not like Squid before! And then you break up with Cecil to be with him! You aren't my Adrienne anymore, and, quite frankly, I don't like the new you!"

Adrienne stopped fighting, "Cecil broke up with me, Juliana! He thought that we would never work after college. I'm just trying to make the best of this stupid camp! I haven't changed!"

"Alice, back me up here!" Juliana turned to Alice.

"Well, you have been hanging out with D-tent a lot, Ade," Alice said sheepishly.

"You're right, I have. Maybe if Jules wasn't mad at me…"

"Look, I'm sorry. I'm all emotional. The heat is getting to me," Juliana apologized with a bloody smile.

"I'm sorry too. I won't act like a whore anymore," Adrienne smiled. "Friends?"

"Friends."

"Well, good. No more fighting among friends!" Alice smiled wide.

"Oh, Ade you got a letter from Cecil," Juliana laughed at the name with Alice.

"Did I?" Adrienne took the letter, ready to open it as Giorgio ran up.

"Guys, I have a plan," he smiled.

"We aren't guys," Juliana smiled, wiping her bloody nose. Adrienne sucked on her bleeding lip. From the look of the two girls, neither had won the fight.

"Zero is the answer to all our problems," Giorgio kept his smile and started to explain his plan.


Woot! Another chapter! I have had serious writer's block, believe me. I've actually been busy too. I am not a multi-tasker. Anyway, thanks to LeMoNsOuR (I'm sorry about my bad updation, which is a funny word so kudos to you. That is a totally weird story line. Maybe I'll do it. I need ideas.), Brokenangel1753 (woot for liking! I is such a great writer that everyone likes me story. So great with grammar too), TeaCat (Yeah… that is the point of the faking thing. If you didn't guess, Gina is a moron and she thought that making her intern spies stereotypes would improve the mission. I was trying to do like in movies when every character is a stereotype, but these are just normal people who aren't like stereotypes. See, that's the funny part. Gina is stupid and thinks stereotypes will work when they obviously don't), GE (ahh, thanks. I like how far-fetched it is too. It's fun to write a story with no meaning and not much reality. Your review made me feel all fuzzy inside. Really, thanks), and Nosilla (I KNOW, DUDE! So much weird stuff! I need to commit to a storyline, seriously. But I don't so… the weird stuff will remain until I eventually do) for the wonderful reviews. I like reviews. You want to review? Then please, please, PLEASE do. I like to feel like I'm wanted.
