Ember here! I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to update! School was hectic, and this summer I had an experience quite like Jenny's- yes folks, I staffed a summer camp. And they don't have Wi-Fi at camp. Sorry.

Disclaimer: I don't own it. I promise. You can get Frank and Joe and Jenny to investigate if you want, but they'll tell you the only thing I own are the characters that I made up, and you know who they are!

bubblestar888:Thank you very much! and are you, by any chance, the bubbles that I know? Or maybe a different one?

jessjes98: I'm very glad you think so! Thank you ever so much!

Liberty Girl in the Sky: I will update this! Right now! And thank you for your support!

I luv J: I'm glad my light and funny story has made you happy! And for some reason, Joe is the easiest character for me to write, so I'm glad you like him. As for your wish for Jenny and Joe… well, I'm sorry to say it won't come true, but for reasons I can't explain just yet. I hope you don't mind!

Cath: I will absolutely give you more! Right about… now!

Jenny

So, as you guys know, I was extremely excited to be a camp counselor. I mean, hello, french braids and ghost stories anyone? Add that to the fact that I'm on a case, and man- best summer ever! After getting direction from Momma Bear, I moved off to my station, calling "Capote! Capote girls, over here!"

I checked off the girls as they arrived with their parents, watching each of them carefully. So far there was no sign of a mass murdering person. Well, with the exception of Joe, who was rather upset at getting stuck on kitchen duty.

Joe

Kitchen duty! Who wouldn't be upset?

Jenny

Anyone else. My point is no one looked suspicious yet. Ok, so Capote was made up of five cabins, each with four bunk beds in them, as well as a counselor cabin. Thankfully, I wasn't going to be alone with 20-fourty girls( I believe this week I'm gonna have 29), but would have four other counselors with me. All I had to worry about were the girls in the Mockingbird cabin. Once all forty girls and their parents arrived, I lead them back to Capote, where Sprinkles, Bubbles, Scrambled Eggs and Rainbow were waiting. They started in on the whole camp spiel, so I had time to survey the kids and parents.

"Hi, my name is Scrambled Eggs, and I'm going to be your head staff, or HL this week. These girls with me are your fellow counselors, Bubbles, Rainbow, Sprinkles, and Sk8s. Rainbow and Sprinkles have lists of which cabin you're in, and Bubbles and Sk8s will show you where they are. Parents, once you find out which cabin your girl is staying in, if you would escort them there and help them pick out a bed, it would be much appreciated. Once everyone is all settled down and you've said your goodbyes, girls, meet us all back here at campfire." Scrambled Eggs directed, and at once the parents and girls crowded around, both excited and terrified. Bubbles and I immediately set out directing girls to Mockingbird, Blue Jay, Cardinal, Robin, and Sparrow cabin. Finally, everyone was where they were supposed to be, and I sat down in the campfire ring with the others.

"So, Sk8s, I haven't seen you before." Scrambled Eggs declared.

"Yeah." I shrugged. "This is my first week."

"So why'd you come?" Sprinkles asked, kinda disdainfully. "Not to be rude, but with all that's been happening…"

"What's been happening?" I asked, interested.

"You're kidding." Rainbow piped up. "We made the news, you know. And not in a good way."

"And we've had a lot of staff quit." Bubbles added. "They're too scared for their own necks."

"What's been going on?" I asked again, pretending I didn't know.

"Well," Scrambled Eggs began, taking on the role of spokes person. "Nothing you should be worried about. We've just had a couple accidents this summer, and a few kids got hurt. We've tightened precautions since- people just got too comfortable and thought the rules didn't apply to them."

"A kid got trampled by a horse." Bubbles whispered.

"And there was this archery accident, and I swear the arrow didn't come from the direction of the girls." Sprinkles whispered conspiratorially.

"But they were all accidents, and they won't happen again." Scrambled Eggs interrupted. "Here's this week's schedule." She added, handing us all folders.

We talked for a while more, sorting out varies details and duties, until the parents started leaving, and the girls started coming back. We waited for all 29 of them, than set into the rules.

"Allright, how many of you girls have gone camping before?" Sprinkles asked. A show of hands rose.

"Than you already know the rules of camp. They haven't changed." Rainbow finished. "And they're just as important now as they were the last time we told you."

"So, can you girls tell us what the rules are? Anyone? Let's see how well you know them." I challenged.

Nothing. Scrambled Eggs sighed.

"Rule number one. Listen to your staffers, we're here to help. Uh… don't mess with the wildlife here. You're gonna see bunnies and deer and things, leave them alone."

"Rabbits smell." One girl chimed in.

"Thank you Miranda." Bubbles replied. "Also, don't run. If you run, you fall. This camp is bumpy and it's really easy to trip."

"Treat everyone like you want to be treated. Don't go around being mean. We're only here for a week, so please, cut out the drama." Sprinkles added.

"Oh, and most importantly, wear a hat at all times, and drink lots of water. It's really hot out here, and we want to keep you girls safe." I chipped in.

"Socks and shoes and sleeves at all times!" Rainbow added cheerfully.

"Any questions? No?" Scrambled Eggs looked around. "So, you girls can head back to your cabins now. Make sure if you go anywhere that you tell one of us, and take a buddy. No one walks around camp alone, ok? Not even to the bathroom."

The girls all left and we watched them return to their cabins before resuming our previous conversation. I wasn't able to get much out of them, though, before a screaming fight broke out in Mockingbird cabin.

"Be back." I declared, speeding over to my girl's cabin. "Alright, what's going on here?" I asked, coming up to the cabin. Instantly a rush of words came from inside the cabin.

"Hold up, hold up." I cut them off. "First off, can I come in?"

"Yes!" eight voices cried, before the arguing began again.

"Enough!" I declared. "Now, I want one person to tell me what's going on in here. You, Vanessa?"

"Well, Karen took my box of Belgian chocolates that my mom gave me and-"

"But I-"

"Ah!" I interrupted. "Let Vanessa talk, than you'll get your chance."

"She took my chocolate and won't give it back!"

"Alright, Karen?"

"She should have been sharing with everyone!" Karen complained.

"First off, none of you should have food anyway. It was on the camp list not to bring, so I'll have to confiscate the chocolates. You can have them back at the end of the week, Vanessa. And all you girls need to respect each other's things. Don't take anything without asking, and don't wave around something you have that no one else does. Now, if anyone else has any food, you better offer it up now, or else you're not gonna be too happy when I find out you were hiding it."

And that's how I ended up with two boxes of Belgian chocolates, five candy bars and three bags of potato chips in my possession until the end of the week.

After delivering a food attracts bugs so you better have offered it all up speech, I left to hide the haul in our unit kitchen, until I heard screaming again.

Kids. I hope the boys are having more luck than me finding out everything going on.

Joe

Just to make it clear, I hate kitchen duty!

Breakfast is at seven, the kids are supposed to get up at 6:30, and guess who has to get up at 5:00 every day just to make it for them? Do you think I'm this beautiful naturally? I need my beauty sleep people!

Frank

Hah. Beauty sleep. You?

Joe

And I gotta wash dishes and stuff. How unfair is that? The only upside is like six hours of break to investigate.

Frank

Which is kinda the reason we're here, so don't complain, idiot! And I mean that in a nice way. Anyway, I don't have much to report. My experience was very similar to Jenny's, so Frank out.
