Disclaimer: Camp Lazlo belongs to Joe Murray. Cadence was a creation of my imagination.
Edward stepped outside. Who does he think she is? Just walking into Camp Kidney like this, acting like girls belongs with guys. This is wrong! He heard the screen door open and saw Cadence in the uniform.
"Okay. I'm ready. So, what do you boys do in this camp?" She asked.
"Boy stuff." He said.
"And that would be?"
"Stuff that girls don't do."
"You're impossible! Listen, you don't like me. I understand! Just give me a chance! We could go prank the moose if you want. I already have some tape and a whoopee cushion." She said. Then she sat on the steps.
"Hey Cadence!" an orange monkey said.
"Umm, hi." She said. Who is that imbecile?
"I'm Lazlo and this is Raj and Clam." He said pointing to a pink elephant and a green rhino in back of him.
"Okay." She said. The elephant waved and the rhino just stood there. Then they walked to the lake.
"Such idiots, my first day here and I already don't like them." She said. Edward's face lit up.
"You don't like the Jelly Cabin?" He asked wide-eyed.
"I seem to despise them. They look too cheery and hippy like. I don't trust them." She said. Edward's face lit up some more.
"Let's pull a prank on them." She said with a grin on her face.
"What do you have in mind?" Edward asked. I'm going to like this girl. Evil-minded perfection.
"I just need a jar of spiders." She said. She went back into the cabin and brought out an empty jar. She signalled Edward to follow her into the woods. She found 23 spiders with the help of Edward. They walked back to their cabin.
"What are you going to do with them?" He asked.
"Just wait till tonight when everyone's asleep. We'll let these critters loose in their cabin and hear them scream like girls."
"I like your thinking. This is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship. We both hate Lazlo and his friends." He said and gave a smile. She gave an evil smile back.
Later that night, Cadence woke up Edward at 10 o'clock.
"Pst, Edward! Get up! It's time to put the prank into action." She whispered. Edward woke up and rubbed his eyes and quietly got out of bed making sure not to wake up Chip and Skip. They snuck out of the cabin. In the moon light Edward got a good glimpse of Cadence's sleep wear. It consisted of long black pyjama pants and a yellow t-shirt. She wore big fuzzy yellow slippers. With the big jar of spiders in her hand she quietly opened the door of the Jelly Cabin. She saw them snoring and sleeping in odd positions ( Lazlo was sleeping on his head, Raj was sleeping more than half off the bed and Clam slept with his butt in the air). She unscrewed the top of the jar and let the spiders loose in the cabin. Edward tried not to laugh. She quietly shut the door.
"Pure genius, my friend." Edward whispered. They went back to the cabin and slept, waiting for the screams.
The next morning, Edward and Cadence woke up to 3 high pitch screams.
"Ohmygosh! Our cabin is infested with blood sucking spiders!" Raj yelled running out the cabin. Cadence and Edward started laughing. Chip and Skip were just confused.
"Edward is laughing? Wow, that's new." Chip said to Skip.
"Wow." Skip just said. When they stopped laughing they realized they had to go to breakfast. Both realized they needed to change in their uniform.
"I'll go outside first." Cadence and went outside in her sleep wear. She leaned against the cabin admiring the view. Some campers looked at her like she was an alien.
"What? Never saw someone in their pyjamas?" She said to their looks. Edward came out in his uniform and told her she can go in. She later came out in her uniform. She saw Edward smiling. She smiled back. Edward walked next to her as they walked to the mess hall. My heart is beating so fast. What is this? She makes me smile every time I see her and I never smile. I hope it's not what I think it is.
