Dear Wonderful Brother,

I'm glad that you are glad that I take joy in your misfortune. Really, I am. Your excitement, brother, transcends paper. You are welcome very much. You are lucky to have such a beautiful, talented, considerate, and absolutely perfect in all ways sister such as I. Oh, and by the way, I read your diary and sent some of the nice little excerpts to the lovely Tiffany you talk so much about, so YOU CAN BITE ME! HAHAHA!

Yours,

Mary.

Dear Adrienne,

You will still be a hand model. I do need you to support your father and I when we are not the young people that we are. But, as I am still twenty-nine, we don't need to worry, huh? I can hear you laughing from here, so let's just keep with the lie that I am young and not pushing fifty. Your father, man, he is in bad shape so you do not need to worry about him being your knight in shining armor. He fell and hurt his back. He's been watching soap operas since Wednesday. Hmm… boys are trouble. Trouble indeed. I am sad to hear about Cecil. I liked him very much. Juliana is fighting with you too? Darling, you are losing everybody! Never fear, I will never desert you. Well, I don't think so anyway. Count those blisters, and send the count to me stat. I am hoping that we have a world record on our hands. And no, you did not get your Yale envelopes. Sorry, beloved. I should go. Your father is calling for a pillow fluff.

Love,

Mom.

Alice, darling,

I am so glad that you are not writing a business letter anymore. I hate that you are still at that camp. Mom and Dad miss you like a fat kid misses cake. Okay, that was a pretty clichéd metaphor, but I am really hungry right now. I am not sure how much, really, because I totally don't care. Did you see my 'Alice, darling' thing? I was immensely amused by that. I keep using immense lately. There isn't a lake at Camp Green Lake? That is totally false advertising. Oh, Tyrone is convinced that he is going to find the camp and save you. Our brother is stupid, in short. God, how did such beautiful, wonderful women such as ourselves have such a stupid brother. Anyway, I miss you lots. Write back as soon as possible! Also, that hot guy from our English class was asking about you! I saw him at Safeway. I think I might act like I am you and then make out with him. I am your twin and all. He is too hot for words. Anyway, write back! I command it!

Love, your gorgeous sister who looks exactly like you,

Ali.

Trix,

Well, thank you for missing me. I'm sorry that you are getting a little crazy about it though. Nacho misses you as much as a dog can. She is always sitting by the door now, which is kind of uncomfortable for me because, you know, there are times when I need to leave. I got a promotion. I'm hoping that I can make enough to help us move out of this god forsaken trailer. I know that it has been hard since your mom left and all, but I am hoping that better times are ahead. It's hard without you here, you know. I don't even know what to do with myself. I call that spy place everyday to see when you are coming home. I want you to come home. So does the dog. She and I are really bonding. She bit my ankle the other day, but I know it was just out of love. I fucking miss you, Trixie.

Dad.

Comrade Tap,

The bagel is burning in the toaster in the oven.

Hard boiling,

Mom.

My darling Giorgio,

I am really sad without you! I am going to go and save you! I will! When you get this, I will be there! I swear to God! See you then, loves!

Glenn.

p.s. Of course you are. I don't remember what you are. Should probably keep a copy of my letters.

Dear Giorgio,

I cannot sleep so I am writing you a letter. I remember now why you hated going on safari. It sucks. A lot. Yeah, I kind of wish that we hadn't gone now. You see, your father and I have been… well… at odds. Not with each other, of course, but with all the animals we come across. We were almost attacked by lions yesterday. We just were in the little safari jeep and there they were, looking at us like meat. It was scary as hell. Your father needed a new pair of pants after that. He'll kill me for telling you that, but it is the point of the matter. Glenn keeps sending us letters talking about you. I like him a lot. You better adopt a kid though. I still want to be a grandmother someway. I have been thinking a lot about everything. Mostly because I haven't been sleeping. I woke up the other day and a huge, I mean huge, spider was on my face! ON MY FACE! I hate Africa. I sincerely do.

Love,

Mom.

Dear Juliana,

You are going to apologize to Adrienne this minute! Do you understand me? She is your best friend besides Alice and you are going to apologize! I will not read another letter until you do. Well, I guess I will just to see if you have apologized and everything is okay, but if not, I won't continue reading the letter! So there!

Love,

Mom.

Dear Gina,

Who are you and what do you want? I have no idea what you are talking about and you have the wrong address.

Sincerely,

Ronald Roy.


"I think that I really hate this place," Adrienne said as she stared up at the blazing blue sky.

"Yeah," Alice and Juliana responded.

"Why do you think that Greg would fight with Armpit over me? I mean, we are friends, aren't we?" Trixie asked to no one in particular.

"Yeah," Alice and Juliana responded.

"I want some real food! Taco Bell! I need a freaking bean burrito!" Adrienne yelped emotionally.

"Yeah," Alice and Juliana responded.

"My dad is going to try to buy a house. I think I might take care of him instead of go to college. Maybe go to beauty school. My mom went. Who knows where she is now," Trixie again said to no one in particular.

"My back is hot," Juliana sat up.

The four had been lying in one of the larger holes after digging. They were mostly avoiding everyone they could. Alice hated X-Ray, Adrienne couldn't get rid of Squid, Juliana was afraid of Magnet, and Trixie was confused about Greg. All around, things were weird.

Giorgio's face appeared over the edge of the hole, "What are you all doing?"

"Avoiding people," they all answered.

"Oh. Well, someone new came today. Actually, a couple new people came today. Apparently there was a mishap in Q Tent," Giorgio smiled.

"New?" Alice leaned up.

"Are they hot?" Trixie asked as she leaned up as well.

"I don't know. I haven't seen them yet. Want to search them out with me?" Giorgio queried.

"Yeah," all the girls answered together as they crawled out of the hole.

The group walked to the wreck room talking very loudly. They laughed and told really stupid jokes for no reason at all. For some reason, they were all in an amazingly good mood. Although they were dirty, smelly and hated where they were, they were happy. As they walked past the wreck room, Alice felt a touch at her shoulder. She turned around, unnoticed by her chortling friends.

Her mouth gaped at the tall, handsome black boy that stood smiling behind her, "Tyrone?"

"Tyrone? Isn't that the name of your hot broth…" Giorgio started as he turned around to face not only Alice's brother, Tyrone, but his short, black haired boyfriend, Glenn. His mouth dropped, and he had no words.

"OH MY GOD! TYRONE! GLENN! HOW IN THE HELL?" Adrienne yelped as she hugged the two.

"This is so EXCITING!" Juliana screamed as she hugged the two also.

"Hey, you haven't even gotten to the exciting part," a female voice said.

The group turned to see a familiar flash of bright red hair. Adrienne squealed again and lept onto the girl, nearly knocking her over.

"Ada! I can't believe this!" Adrienne giddily yelled.

"I know, I'm amazing!" the girl said. "I got us here, so."

"How did you do it?" Alice asked, still hugging her brother.

"I'll tell you later. Anyway, my name is not Ada, so don't call me it. I am Mallory now," Ada said.

"And I am Jimmy," Glenn said with a broad smile.

"I'm Tai. I can't really remember anything else," Tyrone shrugged.

"I am fucking surprised and fucking all around joyous and shit! FUCK, I AM EXCITED!" Trixie clapped.

Just then, Caveman came out of the wreck room looking scared. Ada instantly raised an eyebrow in interest when she saw him.

"Hello, I'm the new girl, Mallory," she said as she walked forward with her hand out.

"Uh… hi," Caveman said nervously, shaking her hand. "Have any of you heard anything about Zero?"

"No, we haven't. I have tried to discuss with Miss Gene about a search party, but she is not having it," Alice sighed.

"I am just worried about him."

"Me too."

"Is there food in there? I am ravenous!" Glenn yelped.

Giorgio shook out of his shock and smiled wider than he ever had, "Let me show you to the cafeteria, sir."

Caveman watched Giorgio, Glenn, Adrienne, Tyrone, and Trixie leave all smiles confusedly.

"Wow, they took to each other quick," Caveman marveled.

"I'm taking to you," Ada responded.

"Shut up," Alice stepped on her foot.

"I'm going to take a shower," Juliana rolled her eyes and went toward the showers.

Alice decided to show Ada around the camp, leaving Caveman to stew over what to do about his missing friend.


Juliana dried her hair with a towel as she came out of the showers. She ran into someone, and mumbled, "Sorry," but kept walking.

"Juliana, wait," the hand of the person she ran into grasped her arm.

She looked up to see Magnet, "Oh… hi, Magnet. How are you?"

"We need to talk."

"Yeah… about that… I don't think so. I'll see you later."

"Juliana, please."

"I have nothing to say. I am not going to marry you."

"Maybe I was a little overzealous…"

"WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THESE WORDS? Oh my God!"

"Hey, Jules, I have something I totally need to discuss with you," Tyrone ran up and grabbed her other arm, noticing Magnet. "Oh, hey, you're Magnet, right?"

"Yeah," Magnet said, jealousy all over his face.

"Wanted to meet you. I met X-Ray earlier but not you, so I wanted to meet you. Anyway, sorry to steal Jules from you, but I have to discuss some things with her. Secret things you know," Tyrone nodded, not knowing what he was getting into.

"Right, you do that then. I will talk to you later, Juliana?" Magnet didn't look at her, just glared at Tyrone.

"I'll make sure she does. Rain check, okay? Come, Jules, I have a serious discussion I need to put past you," Tyrone dragged her away, leaving Magnet to stew over a way to kill him.


Okay, I am really sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I just had crazy writer's block and, really, the last month was crazy as hell. I was really busy and a little depressed so… I am making excuses for my bad updation. Sorry! Thank you to Napknackered (wow, thanks! I know that it would be scary if any of my friends had a gun. People would be shot and things would get messy. I am going to learn to update sooner! Really!), GE (Greg is just… I don't know… I like him because he is a little bit insane. If you were in a coma for a month, it might seem like I updated in a timely fashion, but then you would have to be in a coma and that would suck. Eh. Don't mind me, a little crazy right now) and LeMoNsOuR (I guess I just tap into your life. Maybe I am stalking you. You never know. Okay, so Cecil is Adrienne's boyfriend from home. He wants to go to Harvard, while Adrienne wants to go to Yale, so Adrienne was upset about it. Alice is into going to college in general, which is why she is doing the whole spy thing to get a college recommendation letter. She is not going to give up because she wants that letter. So… yeah.) Yay for updating!
