Here is Chapter 6.

Oh, and thanks to Juicy Fruit Girl. She gave me an idea for this chapter. Thanks again


While Diana and the boys were digging their holes, ZigZag got curious.

'Hey, Princess.' He said, climbing out of his hole and sitting on the edge.

'What's up?' Diana asked.

'Did you have a boyfriend.' This is what ZigZag considered an urgent question.

Diana smiled. 'No, I didn't.' She didn't have to lie about it. She had Peter, and she wished they could go out, but he was like her brother. He always protected her.

'Really?' exclaimed Armpit. 'You seem like the type that would.' Diana couldn't stop herself from laughing. Armpit is taking it so serious.

'Well, I'm not. I was so into school, a boyfriends the last thing I considered.' She really did love reading and learning new things. It was her favorite hobby.

'School? I hate school.' Replied ZigZag.

Squid started laughing, 'Maybe it's because you don't have enough brains for it.'

Everyone started laughing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

After she came back from digging, Diana laid down on her cot. She thought about Squid. Boy, did he look really cute today.

Just then, the boys filed in. Diana sat up. Something was wrong. 'What happened?' She asked, hanging her legs off the cot.

X-Ray shrugged his shoulders, 'Don't know. Mom just told us to wait for him in here.'

'Yea, and the last time he said that, you showed up.' Said Magnet, 'Maybe it means there's a new kid coming.'

X-Ray shook his head. 'There's not enough room for anyone else.'

Diana pointed over to an empty cot. 'Mr. Sir just brought this in. Guess it's true.'

The boys groaned.

Just then, a skinny, tall boy with blonde hair walked in, followed by Pendanski.

'Boys, this is…' Before Pendanski could finish his sentence, Diana jumped up, alarming everyone.

'Peter?' She yelled.

'Diana?' the boy said. Diana ran over and threw her arms around his neck. He put his arms around her waist and scooped her up.

'Well, I see you two know each other.' Pendanski said, confused.

Ignoring Pendanski, Diana continued, 'What are you doing here? I thought you went to jail.'

'I did. But it was horrible. I pleaded with the judge. I told him I'd do more time if he'd just send me here.' Peter explained, 'What are you doing here? I thought this was a camp for boys.'

'It is.' Said Diana, 'I did the same thing, I pleaded with the judge. Only, I cried.'

'I always said those tears worked.' He said, laughing.

'I'd hate to break up this reunion.' Said Pendanski, 'But, I wanted to say, maybe you could show Peter around. Since you know him.' She said to Diana.

'Of course I will.' Diana said. She was extremely excited.

'Good.' Pendanski left. Diana finally looked around. All of the boys were staring, trying to understand what happened.

'Boys, this is Peter.' She said, 'Peter, this is Caveman, Zero, ZigZag, Squid, Armpit, X-Ray, and Magnet.' She leaned closer to whisper to Peter. 'It's their nicknames. Just Play along.' Peter nodded.

'I'm confused.' Said ZigZag.

'Peter was arrested with me. He's like my brother. In a way.' She explained.

'Oh.' Said ZigZag, 'I totally get it now.' Diana shook her head.

'So, he used to be your boyfriend?' Armpit said. He said it in a way that made Diana feel like he was betrayed. 'I thought you said you didn't have a boyfriend.'

Diana turned red. 'He's not my boyfriend. I always wanted him to be, but he's not.' Diana caught what she said. Peter looked at her, surprised she thought of him that way,

Diana started playing with her hair, the way she always did when she was really embarrassed. Peter laughed, 'It's okay. It may feel like we're family, but if you think about it, we're not.'

'Well, your definitely like my brother now.' She said, giving him her 'we'll talk about it later' look.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

At dinner time, Peter sat at the end of the table, across from Diana.

'This tastes horrible.' He said coughing.

Diana laughed.

'You'll get used to it.' X-Ray said, 'It take awhile, but you will.'

Diana pushed her tray in the trash. She pulled Peter with her.

'Hey, I wasn't done!' He exclaimed.

'You didn't like it any way,' she answered.

When they got back to the tent, Diana sat on her cot and Peter sat next to her.

'So, Pete.' She said, 'What do you think so far?'

'It's better then jail.' He answered, leaning back, 'So, why'd you give me that look earlier?'

'What look?' Then she remembered, 'Oh, that look.'

'Yeah. What was that about?' Peter knew they finally had the chance to talk.

'Well, you see, I didn't want them to think you and me were together because I kinda…' She paused getting up the strength to say it. 'I kinda like…Squid.' It feels good to get that off my chest.

'What!?' Peter was stunned. 'How could you like him?'

'What's the matter with that?'

'He's here for a reason, you know.' Peter said with anger in his voice, 'He might have murdered someone.'

Diana was shocked. 'First, if he killed someone, I think he would've been sent to jail.'

'Not necessarily. You know the governments all messed up.'

Diana shook her head in frustration. 'That's true, but they wouldn't have sent him here. No matter how messed up they are.' Peter sighed. 'Second.' She said, continuing, 'You're here.'

Peter knew she was right. 'Fine but if he hurts you, don't come crying to me.'

'Fine, I won't.' She said, climbing under her sheet.

Peter walked over to his cot and laid down. They didn't speak the rest of the night.


I thought that this was a really good twist. I hope it is.

Sorry about that stab at the law and everything. I couldn't help myself. It was the perfect opportunity. Hee hee. Hope you enjoyed it!!
