Chapter 345.
In collaboration with avanger44.
(Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Camping grounds.)
Everyone have finished eating breakfast and now they're all talking about the activities they all wanna do for the day and for tomorrow.
Lincoln and Jordan are both chatting to each other, and then they talk to Simon, Stella, Lance, Artie, Trent, Kat, Joy and Cookie. They all start to talk about what they wanna do together as a group.
"So, anything you guys got planned for today?" asked Jordan.
"No not really, everyone else has their own thing and we're still thinking what to do and we haven't even decided yet" replied Kat.
"Maybe we can all go on a nice nature hike, sure would be nice to stretch out there and check on the wildlife" said Simon.
"Well, Jordan and I did that yesterday, and it seems like so many other activities are being occupied, so I think that sounds like an awesome idea" replied Lincoln.
"I think we can go for it too, our other pals and gals have their own things doing and I think Clyde and Chloe with Emma and Christina are planning on some cooking lessons with the Rock" replied Lance.
Stella chuckles. "Well, well. Looks like they'll knowing, what the Rock is cookin'." They all chuckle from that. "Wait, what about Liam and Tabby? Don't they wanna be part of this?"
"We spoke with them before breakfast and they both plan on some dune buggy lessons alongside Coach Keck and the same goes with Renee and Paige, and let's just hope they'll be fine" replied Jordan.
"What are the odds that Polly, Mollie and Sadie would wanna be part of it?" asked Joy. They then spot the three girls following Coach Keck and looking excited. "I stand corrected."
"Well, I guess it's settled. We got hiking later, now let's get our gear and everything we need ready" replied Lincoln. Then Toby the sleepy bear goes to them and all six eagles are on his back. "And of course we wouldn't be anywhere without some eyes in the skies."
The bear roars a bit, and they all chuckle. "And of course, we seem to have a wildlife expert and escort" replied Jordan.
"I always thought beats would be so scary up close, but this guy is the best and I love him so, so much!" Cookie hugs Toby and so does Artie and Stella and Simon. "You're such a big softie!"
They all head to their cabins and get they're things ready for the hiking trip, but they have no clue that Leslie and her friends overheard them. "Girls, change of plans, looks like Lincoln and Rosato are going hiking again we can get the drop on them while they're not looking" said Leslie.
She sees her friends at an agreement, but then Gretchen asks. "Are you sure the plans won't end up getting us into trouble? Remember what happened yesterday?"
They all recall that and did not like recalling what happened with Leslie's pie that had poison ivy. "We had to stay in our cabins for the whole freaking afternoon because of that incident!" said Regina.
Leslie calms down. "Yes, that was an unexpected day for us yesterday, but I assure you girls that our plans will not fail us today, we have four plans and they're bound to work. So let's get to it!"
They all nod and head off to their cabin and get ready, but they had no clue that three shadowy figures are listening to them and are not amused by their new dark deeds. "Well friends, it seems we do have an activity to do today" replied Morpheus.
"We stop what they're doing and make sure they're the ones who get harmed, or better yet deep into their own humiliating demise" replied Persephone.
"I will not forsake the promise Lucy told me, I will keep my two friends safe… I mean, our two friends safe and the others as well. Let's get going" replied Haiku. They then disappear into the shadows.
(Later.)
Lincoln, Simon, Jordan, Tabby, Artie, Lance, Trent, Joy, Cookie and Kat are all in some hiking gear and have some backpacks with some supplies they can use, and with them are the six eagles and Toby the sleepy bear, but he's asleep again, classic Toby. He'll keep up with them, he always does.
They do see Mollie and Sadie and Polly with Coach Keck ride by on the Rock's ATV and they spot Zach and Hassan riding on his wheel chair at top speed, whatever they did, that thing is now speeding up like the ATV's, is this legal for him to do to his own wheel chair?
"Wow! Who knew Hassan was that awesome with tech, no wonder why he's part of the tech club" said Simon. "You think he can be part of the crew?"
"We'll see guys" replied Jordan. "But we have to talk to him first."
"Okay, so we have what we need, let's get going then" replied Lincoln. They all nod and head into the forest, now they know they're gonna have fun hiking, but they also have to keep an eye on Lincoln. He needs help since he's on crutches.
The eagles sit onto the shoulders of the kids, keeping an eye on everything, but they feel as if something is going to happen, something bad.
As they set out to begin their hike, Leslie and her friends are also dressed in some hiking gear and begin to follow the group, they even have some bags with them. These bags have all they need for their plans and tricks. "Okay girls, let's move" said Leslie.
"Ugh, sure wish we had servants to set this up for us, this is gonna be some hard work" replied Karen.
"It'll all be worth it when Rosato and those other friends get what they deserve, but we avoid Loud at all cost, understood?" said Hope. They all agree and Leslie smiles knowing her best friend still has her back and her understanding.
But they don't know they are being followed. "Alright Silver, time for you and you're crew to lose that shine and fall into the blackness of coal" said Haiku. She and her friends smirk and they disappear into the shadows of the woods.
Toby the bear wakes up and yawns and he walks into the woods to keep up with the other kids, he'll catch up.
(30 minutes later.)
Lincoln and the group are now hiking through the forests and see all the butterflies flying around, they look in awe at all the flowers in the area and see how amazing it looks with the sun shining through the leaves and making it look like a painting on the wall.
But hidden from the bushes Leslie smirks. 'Time for the trap to spring!' What does she mean?
Leslie and her friends went ahead and learned the trail and they placed down a net onto the ground hidden by leaves, if they hit the net, then the kids are pulled up into the trees and then hit by honeycombs, this place has some bee hives as well since there are tons of flowers.
Leslie, Gretchen, Chastity and Hope watch from below, while Karen and Regina are in the trees with honey combs ready to throw. But they are both getting bored. "This is getting boring, when are they gonna hit the net already?" said Regina.
"Ugh, and I thought climbing the trees were the worse, but this cuts it" replied Karen. "Oh wait, here they come!"
They watch as the group of kids just walk over the net, and it isn't even triggered, though Stella almost trips from something, but Simon helps her back up. They then continue to hike through the woods.
Leslie and her friends are shocked at what happen and they come out of hiding and see the trap. "What the heck was that about?!" asked Hope. "Why didn't it work?!"
"This is….. This shouldn't happen" said Gretchen. "They were supposed to… What the heck is this?" Gretchen sees some white stones hidden in the leaves, they were holding down the net.
"Those were not there when we placed the net down!" said Regina. "What the heck now?!"
Then they hear a voice whisper in the wind. "Run!"
They turn around and see nothing. "What the heck was that?" asked Chastity. Then all of a sudden, they chucked by honey combs and it's all over them. "What the? Regina! Karen! What was that for?!"
"What are you talking about? We were with you the whole time? We don't even have those dumb honey combs with us!" said Karen. Just then they hear a buzzing sound. "Dang it."
They look around and see tons of bees and they all look angry. "Run!" yelled Leslie. The sic rich girls then make a run for it through the woods and they manage to get into some water, but this water is shallow, so they run again to find the lake.
Haiku and her two Goth friends come out from the shadows and smirk. "They're trap has been foiled, and we did our part. Now let us get this net away before someone gets hurt" said Haiku.
Morpheus nods and he uses a sharp rock to cut the net and they bring it with them, they never know when they need it to foil Leslie and her friends with their plans.
"This is bound to get very wicked!" said Persephone.
(30 minutes later, again.)
Lincoln and the gang all stop by some berry bushes and they enjoy eating the snacks they have and the berries there. They even share the food with Toby, who then falls asleep afterwards, classic Toby.
Leslie and her friends are hiding amongst some other bushes and are looking to them in anger, they managed to evade the bees, but now they're all wet. "We are not gonna let this next plan fail!"
"What the heck was that voice? What was going on back there?" asked Regina.
"That doesn't matter, what matters is that we get this new plan into action!" said Hope. She then hands them the boxes and in those boxes are leeches that they got from a nearby river, which is also why they're still wet, they have to wear gloves to hold them.
"Ugh! This is so gross, but all worth it!" said Chastity. "I can't wait to see how they feel when these little blood suckers are all over them and draining them of their blood and making them panic!"
"On my mark!" said Leslie. "One, two, three!" They begin to throw the leeches, but the leeches get knocked away by some invisible force shooting. "What the? Again!" They get more leeches and begin to throw them once more, but once again the leeches are shot away by something.
"Who in the? What the heck was that?" asked Karen. They then begin to throw more and more leeches, but once again they're show away.
"Something's wrong here" said Gretchen, she then notices. "Girls, we're all out of leeches."
Leslie checks the boxes. "Dang it!" They then see Lincoln and the group then take their leave and hike some more. "Grr, we'll have to get more, come on girls!"
"Ugh! Now we have to get wet again?" asked Chastity. Then she feels weak. "Dang, you girls feel sleepy?" Then she falls to the ground and they go to her and spot a leech is at the back of her head.
"What the? How the heck did this thing get here?" asked Hope. Then a leech hits the ground from above. "What?" They all look around and leeches are now falling from the trees, the girls scream and run off trying to avoid the forest of raining leeches. They even drag Chastity with them.
But in truth, it was all the Goth's who did this. They have pea shooters with them which explains why the leeches were shot away and they have sling shots that help them chuck the leeches at them.
"Now that was wicked" said Haiku as she pets one of the leeches, for some reason these leeches don't attack them and seem calm, like pets. "Come on, there's still more work to be done my friends."
(30 minutes, again.)
Lincoln and the group look in awe, they made it past the river and are now looking at the majestic waterfalls, this waterfall connects with the river where the leeches were found, and then to two more rivers and one of the rivers is linked with the lake at the camping grounds.
They sit by some rocks and enjoy the view, they even refill their canteens with fresh water from the falls.
Lincoln and Jordan let the eagles fly around and scout the area, while Toby hits the waters and he enjoys the soothing place, and also catching some fish.
Leslie and her friends watch them from some bushes at the top of the waterfall and they look to the group in anger and all of them have some blemishes on them, they were hit by some leeches, but manage to get them off, okay so Chastity is still unconscious and they had to give her a soda to get her energy back.
"So, we commence the next plan?" asked Hope. She gets the bag ready.
"Yes, yes we do!" said Leslie. She then grabs what's in the bag and it reveals to be a jar of skunk pee. "This will work!"
"It better, do you have any idea how hard it was to get that?" said Karen. "And we're lucky those skunks were asleep, otherwise we'd be the ones in deep smell and in trouble."
"Don't worry, this will work" replied Regina. "All we have to do, is get closer and have this skunk pee into the water nearby and it goes into their canteens and we watch them freak out when they drink it!"
"They are so going to get a heck of a panic from this" said Hope.
Then Chastity wakes up. "Huh, what? What happened?" she looks around. "What happened to me and how the heck did we get here? Also, where the heck are we?"
"Glad to see you back, now all we need is someone to go closer and dip this skunk water nearby them" replied Leslie. "And I'm gonna do it!" She then takes the jar and she uses the bush as cover, if the eagles are close by she stops and waits for them to leave, and luckily the eagles don't see her, but are confused with the bush nearby.
Karen and Regina make a diversion by throwing some stones near the waters, which diverts the attention of the eagles, and giving Leslie the time she needs to get closer and soon she's in close range to Trent as he refills their canteens with the water. 'Perfect!'
Leslie then sneakily goes near the water and she pours out all the skunk water into the water nearby and it fades into the water and becomes transparent and Trent has no clue that Jordan's canteen and Lincoln's have been filled with them.
Trent then gets the canteens and he places them onto some rocks nearby, Leslie chuckles and she sneaks away with her bush disguise and back to the other girls. "Plan success and unlike the last two, this one isn't gonna fail!" She high fives with her friends and they all laugh.
"Now, we wait and watch for them to commence the panic!" said Hope. They then look to the Lincoln and the group and see something was wrong.
Jordan looks to her canteen and sees something. "Okay, when did our canteens get holes in them?"
The others also see their canteens have holes at their bottoms and then they smell something. "What the heck? Is that skunk?" asked Cookie.
Lincoln goes near the water near the falls and smells it. "There's skunk water in here." Then Toby the bear smells the water and gets out of there before he gets the bad smell on him, thankfully he catches tons of fish. "Well, there goes the water and good thing our canteens had holes in them, otherwise it would be poisoned."
"Well, looks like we're gonna need to tell the others back at camp what we found" said Stella. "Thankfully, I brought us some sodas to rehydrate and extra bottled water."
"Now that is good thinking!" said Simon. They then take their leave from the place, with the eagles and the Toby the bear, they help him carry the fish he caught.
Leslie and the others are confused. "What?! What the heck?! Why?! How?! When?!"
"This is…. This is messed up!" said Karen. "How did that happen?!" They all start bickering and ranting about the plan being a failure and how did that happen.
Leslie feels her anger building up, but she remains calm and looks to her friends. "Girls! This is no time to argue, we still have one more plan up our sleeves and sure as heck, we are going to make sure it goes well!"
"But how?" asked Chastity. "All of the plans we've been setting up have been total failures and we haven't even gotten one win over making Rosato's day a mess and nightmare!"
Leslie smirks. "That doesn't matter, because our last plan is bound not to fail and we will get the drop on Rosato! Now, where are the cages?"
Gretchen is about to grab what they need from the last bag. "Right…. Here?" She opens the bag and sees the cages are gone. "What the? Where are they?" The others also see this.
"Where are the cages? Where are those critters? What the heck is happening?!" said Karen. Regina goes over to keep her calm. "Something's wrong, I think these woods are…. Haunted!"
Leslie scoffs. "Don't be naïve, this place is just a simple forest with nothing more than dirt and lame wild stuff, and the animals must've escaped. Find them, now!"
They then hear a low growl. "What the heck was that?" asked Hope. She then has her flashlight and they see the five cages have been found and broken. "Oh no." She then shines the flashlight to where the growling was, and they see the animals they caught are out and angry.
What are the animals? A fox, opossum, raccoon, badger and skunk. How the heck did they get them?
"Gretchen, the sleeping darts, now!" said Chastity. But they see Gretchen emptying her bag and checking the others. "Where are they Gretchen?!"
"They're not here!" They see the animals get closer. "And this is bad."
The only thing left are the sound of screams from six girls from a bunch of angry wild animals. A raven flies away from the area and lands onto Morpheus's shoulder. "Well done my faithful companion, we did well and saved them and gave them they're revenge. The plan worked marvelously Haiku."
Haiku chuckles. "Exactly as we planned and now Leslie has no plans to ruin everyone's time here, normally we'd enjoy misery, but these guys are our friends and we are not going to enjoy their misery."
"But the rich girls are more entertainment for us and we have it all on tape and sure enough, the others at home will wanna see this and so would the louds" replied Persephone. They then take their leave from the place and head back to the trail back to camp.
Then Haiku realizes. "We owe them some new water canteens."
Day 4 to the 5 day stay in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Camping grounds.
To be continued…..
A/N: And the plots of Leslie have been foiled, and don't worry they're fine. But chances they can't be able to leave the cabin next chapter due to their injuries, so there won't be any trouble for anyone for the last stay at the lake camping grounds and thank you Haiku, Persephone and Morpheus, Goth perks rules! Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
