Chapter 2

Blu sighed as she looked at the clock. "Seven o'clock already" she thought to herself. "My first day at Camp Kidney."

"Are you ok? You look kind of sad." Raj walked over and sat on Blu's bed with her.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Are you sure? Because if there's anything wrong, you can talk to me."

"Thanks, but if I told you about what's wrong..." Blu looked at him, then looked down.

"What?"

"Nothing. I just can't tell you. At least, not yet."

"Oh, okay. Well, you can still talk to me."

"Okay."

"Guess what! We're gonna have a slumber party!" Lazlo barged into the cabin.

"Uh, I'm sorry, but isn't every night technically a slumber party? I mean, you're all in the same room." Blu looked at the monkey as he opened a bag.

"Not really. We usually go to sleep early and stay up late on the weekends, but we're celebrating the arrival of our new roommate!" Lazlo started pulling candy out of the bag.

"Celebrate!" Clam walked in with two more bags, also filled with sweets.

"Where did you get all this candy from?" Raj got off of the bed and walked over to Lazlo and Clam.

"We got Samson to get it from Chef McMusely's stash." Lazlo was now unwrapping a snickers.

"So you just use people like that." Blu rolled her eyes.

"No, we just asked him to do it as a favor." Lazlo explained in between bites.

"I know! I was just being sarcastic, but no matter. Now all we have to do is crank up some music!" Blu went to her bag and grabbed a CD.

"This is gonna be fun!" Lazlo started stuffing more candy into his mouth.

"This reminds me..." Blu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Of what?" Raj looked over at her, wondering what had happened.

"When I used to do this over at Acorn Flats with my friends. Or, at least, they were my friends."

"What happened between you and them?" Raj was now growing concerned.

"Yeah, what did happen? Does it have anything to do with you being transferred here?" Lazlo stopped eeating long enough to ask this.

"Tell us?" Clam asked.

"Well, all I can tell you right now is that something happened between us and yes, that's why I was transferred here."

"Did you kill someone?" Lazlo blurted out.

"What? No, I didn't kill anyone. I wanted to after what they did, but what good would that have done? I would've done something like that, and then what? It wouldn't have helped anything, so I figured if I left, I wouldn't have to deal with them."

"You know, they can still come over. All they have to do is cross the lake." Raj warned her.

"Well, yes, but there's less of a chance of me running into them over here than if I was over there. And I know it probably seems like I'm just running away, but it's just that I already have enough emotional problems to be dealing with. I hope you don't think that I'm just a chicken."

"Of course we don't!" Lazlo smiled at her. "We understand."

"Great, now let's have our party!" Blu put her CD in the stereo and turned it on.

Samson had just closed his eyes to go to sleep when a blast of rock music started playing.

"Where's that music coming from?" he sat up in his bed and put his glasses on. He walked over to the window and looked out. "It's the Jelly Cabin!". He looked over at his two roommates, Dave and Ping-Pong. "They're still asleep." He looked back out the window. "I guess I'll go see what's going on."

He slowly walked out of his cabin, careful not to wake up the two birds. "It's so cold out here!" he shivered as he kept walking. "Oh, it's definitely coming from here." he said to himself as he walked up to the door of Jelly Cabin. "I wonder what they're doing." he started to knock on the door.

The music suddenly stopped as someone came to the door. "Oh, hey, Samson!" Lazlo greeted him with his normal, overly-happy way.

"What's going on in there?" Samson looked around Lazlo and inside the cabin.

"Oh, nothing."

"You're throwing a party!"

"Uh... no we're not."

"Yes you are! That's why you had me get that candy! So you could throw a party! And you didn't even invite me!"

"Oh, sorry. You wanna come in?" Lazlo gestured inside.

Yes I do, thank you." Samson walked in.

"Hello, Samson!" Raj waved.

"Who's this?" Samson had just laid eyes on Blu.

"That's Blu." Lazlo closed the door.

"Blu, huh?"

"Hey." Blu nodded at him.

"Hi... so, what's going on?" Samson looked around.

"Well, we were just going to messs around and have some fun, so if you want to stay, you can." Blu walked back over to the stereo. "We'll lower the volume if it's too loud."

"Okay. Thanks."

She turned the music back on and everything was fine, until her phone rang. It was a message from Violet, one of the girls she used to hang out with. She read it in anger.

"Blu, you whore! I apologized! I guess it wasn't good enough for you. I should've known better than to mess with such a slut!"
