When they got back to camp, Diana waited in the tent trying to find out how to take a shower. All the boys were in the showers, and she did NOT want to go in when they were in there too. So, she decided to wait till after dinner.

When she walked into the wreck room, X- Ray, Armpit, ZigZag, and Squid were by the pool table. Caveman and Zero were on the couch. She stood there trying to figure out where to go when Squid waved her over. She was relieved she didn't have to choose.

'So, Diana, if we weren't here, who would you go out with?' X-Ray asked her when she got closer.

'What!?' Diana was shocked. She never thought of any of these boys as dating material. 'I don't know. I am not answering that.' She was appalled.

'Oh, come on.' Squid really wanted to know. So she decided to give them her answer.

'Ok, none of you.' She answered calmly. It was the truth. They were all delinquents.

'Aw, man.' Said ZigZag, 'I was sure she would choose me.'

Diana looked at him. She started laughing. All the boys looked at her. She just couldn't stop laughing.

'What's so funny?' Said Magnet, who was still trying to figure Diana out.

Once she caught her breath, she told them.

'ZigZag thought I would go out with him.' With a look of mocking apathy, Diana put her hand on ZigZag's shoulder. 'I'm so sorry, poor baby.'

This made rest of the boys laugh. Diana kept laughing. ZigZag slammed down the pool stick and left.

"Oh, I feel bad now.' Diana stood there watching the door, hoping ZigZag would come back in and say he forgives her.

'Ah, Ziggy's a big boy. He'll get over it.' Squid said, looking into her thoughtful eyes.

Diana hesitated and decided she would apologize. 'I gotta say I'm sorry.' She headed out of the wreck room door. As she approached the tent flap, she heard someone runnig up behind her. She turned around and saw who it was.

It was Squid.

'Hey, Princess.' He called.

'Princess?' Diana wondered why he called her that. No one ever called her that before.

'Yeah, it's your nickname now.' Squid answered when he got closer. 'Listen, maybe you should leave Ziggy alone.'

'Why?'

Squid looked into her eyes. She noticed the softness in them. He was trying to protect her.

'Well, ZigZag can get defensive. If you say your sorry, he might think that your calling him weak. Who knows what would happen then.' Diana realized then that he generally cared about her. He didn't want to see her get hurt.

'Thanks.' She said. He turned around to leave.

'Hey, Squid?' She couldn't help but ask.

'Yea?' Squid said has he turned around.

'Why'd you warn me? I thought you didn't care about anybody here.' Diana was dying to know why. It wasn't every day a boy protected her.

'I, uh…' Squid hesitated. 'I care about you.'

When Squid spoke those words, Diana melted inside. Just to hear him say it sent a spark off inside her heart. He really does care.

How's that for a twist. I bet you all thought Diana would fall in love with Caveman. Well, I decided to spice it up, just a little.
