Arrival

"David, why the fuck did you wake us up so early? And why are we here?"

Max yawned and tried to fight the drowsiness that was consuming him. It was 7:30 in the morning and the camp was strangely alive, albeit with groans and requests to go back to sleep. David, however, stated that everyone must stay awake for some reason. "Well, Max, today we're getting a whole new batch of campers!" David chirped.

"Isn't it a bit too late for new campers? It's August, damnit." Max wasn't too happy about new campers. More kids just meant more shitheads for him to deal with.

"Don't say that, Max! It's never too late for new campers!" said the optimistic counselor. However, as two hours went by, even he felt his excitement drain.

"Don't care about any of this shit." Max said. He then turned around to his friends, Neil and Nikki. "Wanna go back to our tents? I can make us some coffee."

"Sure, a scientist needs his coffee." Neil mumbled.

"Ew, coffee's gross. But even Sasquatch can't be up this early." Nikki said. But, before they could even make it halfway to their tents, the bus arrived. "Kids are here." Quartermaster stated, his hook pointing towards the back of the bus.

"Oh goody, the kids are here!" David ran to the bus, his eyes already widened in happiness. "Welcome to Camp Campbe-"

Just about when he was about to finish his sentence, a small figure in white tackled him, sending him to the ground almost immediately.

"Aha! Got you now you-oh. I wasn't expecting you to greet us." The child replied with a 'sorry-but-not-sorry' look on her face. "Sorry about that. Name's Bella."

"Don't worry, Bella! My name is David." David lifted himself off the ground, surprisingly with no sign of any wounds.

Nearly everyone looked at her with surprise, except for Max, who stared at her with his mouth hanging open, and for Nikki, who simply responded with "Hey, she looks like me!"

Bella then looked over her shoulder and shouted "Hey guys, it's clear!" One by one the lookalikes exited the bus, each thanking Quartermaster and forming into a group around David.

Max's jaw may as well have been on the ground. "Neil, are you..?" Max whispered, recovering from shock. "Yes, and I'm as equally horrified as you." Neil answered, mouth also hanging open.

The white clad children noticed their counterparts and agreed to get to know them. Micheal and Nathan went over to Max and Neil to introduce themselves.

"Hello there, my name is Micheal and this is my friend Nathan. Sorry about the incident regarding Bella, she can be a bit...hyper." Micheal and Nathan both extended their arms for a handshake. "So, friends?" asked Nathan, a small smile on his face. Max quickly swatted Micheal's hand. "Oh fuck no! Stay the hell away from me and this camp! Isn't that right Neil?" Max didn't receive an answer and was confused by that. "Neil?" Max looked around him to find his friend, to no avail. He also noticed that everyone was gone. "Oh, him? He was chatting with Nathan and they left. Everyone left with their counterparts actually." Micheal replied.

"But, where's David and Gwen and Campbell?" Max questioned. Suddenly, he was in front of Micheal's face. "Did you sick fucks take them?! I demand an answer!" "Heavens no! David went to the activities field I believe. Gwen and Campbell went inside there." Micheal pointed to the counselor's cabin with a frown.

"Jesus Christ this kid is persistent. Looks like I'm gonna have to go with the flow and try not to kiss him off." Max thought. He had to get this kid off of him while still keeping an eye on him. "Alright then, let's go to the activities field. But don't try anything funny." Max retorted.

"Alright then buddy, let's go have some fun!" responded Micheal, a broad smile on his face.
