Okay, Guys, just to save time, I'll just write my authors notes right here on each chapter. First, Noah's dream is the longest so far. I'm hoping to get one for every camper, and you guys can decide who goes next. Just vote on the Poll on my profile.
I'd also like to say thanks to everyone who reviews! It makes me so happy to see that all these people like my work.
Sorry this update took a little while. I had some people from school read this to tell me if it was good. So, enjoy the dream!
…
Noah had just figured out that he was sitting on the floor in a circle with the other male campers. He was sitting next to Justin and Trent, who were talking with the other campers.
"Okay, I think every one's here," Geoff said. He turned to his left to face Duncan. "Go ahead and tell 'em." Duncan smiled his 'evil delinquent' smile.
"Listen up, guys. You're all here because almost all of you agreed to play a little game." With that, Harold shifted in his seat. It really didn't help the fact that he had to sit by Duncan. "Take it away, Geoff!"
Geoff cleared his throat with great emphasis. "We'll be playing a little game Duncan and I like to call 'The Dating Game.'. The rules are simple. Duncan and I will draw names. One hat," Geoff said, holding up one of his hats. "contains the names of the male campers. DJ's, uh, hat thing has the names of the lady campers." DJ waved his hat thing in the air. A few pieces of paper fell out, but he quickly put them back in.
"So… What's the catch?" Noah asked. If he couldn't know how he got there, he could at least know what he was doing.
"Glad you asked" Duncan said. "We'll draw a name from each hat. Then, the two names have to go out on a date."
"That's it?" Owen asked.
"Nope." Geoff said. "You also have to kiss the girl you get. After you accomplish your mission, report back here. You all have until tonight to get your date. Now, let's draw!" Geoff and DJ both passed their hats to Duncan.
Duncan drew one name from each hat. "First pair," He said. "Is… Justin and Sadie!" A few people laughed, but Noah just sat there. This is so stupid. Only Duncan and Geoff could have the stupidity to come up with this. Justin shrugged. "It won't be hard getting that kiss then."
Cody spoke up. "Uh, actually, I heard that Katie likes you, so, if you go out with Sadie, she might refuse because, you know, they'd never hurt each other like that."
Duncan stared at him with a weird look. "Dude, you've seen way too many chick flicks," Cody shrugged. Geoff grabbed both the hats form Duncan.
"Okay," He said. "Next, we have… Harold and Lindsay!" Harold blushed.
That continued for a few more minutes.
"Duncan and Katie!"
"Me and Courtney?" Geoff said. (Duncan glared at Geoff.)
"DJ and Beth!"
"Tyler and Izzy!"
"Ezekiel and LeShawna!"
"Owen and Heather!"
Duncan drew another pair of names. He looked at Cody. "Dude, you totally lucked out. You and Gwen." Trent looked nervous and Cody looked happier than a kid at Christmas.
"Moving on…" Geoff said. Noah rolled his eyes. This is going to be a long night…
"Trent and Eva!" Trent gulped.
"And finally…. Noah and Bridgette!" Duncan said. He looked at Geoff, who was glaring at Noah, who was reading a random book he had found. "What?" He asked.
"You have to go out with… With… Grrrr…" Geoff said. Duncan finished his sentence for him.
"Your new girlfriend is Bridgette." Noah's eyes widened.
"What?!" He said.
"You heard me. Okay, men, let's get moving!" and with that, everyone left the cabin. Geoff had a little trouble, but Duncan and DJ helped him with that. Noah left, trying to find Bridgette. He was busy pondering what he had to do. But first, he had to figure out what was going on. Hm… I don't remember waking up this morning… He thought. But, hey, He thought. This game doesn't seem so bad. Let's just hope that Geoff doesn't kill me before I get to go on my 'date'. Noah laughed to himself. Meanwhile, Geoff, Duncan, and DJ were spying on Noah from behind a tree. Geoff looked infuriated. He was about to lunge out to grab Noah, beat him up, and throw him of the freakishly large cliff that they had to jump off of for their first challenge. It took almost all of Duncan and DJ's strength to hold him back.
"Dude, It's just one date," DJ said.
"Yeah, it's not like she'll fall for him," Duncan said.
"Just a date? JUST A DATE?!" Geoff growled through barred teeth.
"Just chill!" both Duncan and DJ said.
It didn't take long for Noah to find Bridgette. She was on the beach, of course.
"Uh, hey, Bridgette," Noah said, walking over towards her. Bridgette was in her wetsuit, polishing her surfboard.
"Oh, hi, Noah. What's up?" She asked.
Noah gulped. Wow, he thought. She really is pretty. "Uh, I just wanted to know, well, if, you wanted to, you know, uh, just, hang out," Noah said.
Bridgette tilted her head to the side. "Do you mean like a date?" she asked.
Noah nodded. "Yeah. Like a date." Noah looked a little discouraged, but he almost dropped dead when he heard her answer.
"Sure." She said. "Meet me at the Dock of Shame at seven tonight." And with that, she grabbed her surfboard and left to the cabins. Noah just stood there, blushing like crazy. She actually said yes! Noah turned around, only to see Bridgette blow him a kiss. Noah waved at her and headed to the Gopher cabins. Little did Noah know that he was being watched.
"She said yes?!" Geoff said, looking stunned.
"Bummer, man." Duncan said, patting him on the shoulder. "C'mon. You and I both know we have some, er, dates waiting.
… Later that night …
When Noah got to the Dock of Shame at precisely seven o'clock, he already saw Bridgette sitting there.
"Hey," Noah said, blushing a little. He sat down next to her.
Bridgette blushed, too. "Hey," She said.
"Have you been waiting long?" He asked.
Bridgette shook her head. "Not really. I just got here a little before you did."
Silence.
"Well, then." Noah said. He was about to stand up, but then Bridgette pulled him in for a kiss. He was caught totally off guard, so their lips touched only for a few moments before he fell off the dock and into the water. Bridgette gasped and stood up, putting her hands to her cheeks. Noah soon emerged from the water, and that's when Bridgette asked "Are you alright?"
Noah spit out some water. "Yeah, I'm fine. Can you help me out of the water?" He asked. Bridgette nodded and giggled while she got on her knees to help him up. When Noah was finally on dry land- or wood, in this case,- he hugged Bridgette. She didn't seem to mind the fact that he was soaking wet. "Thanks for the kiss, Bridgette."
"You call that a kiss?" Bridgette said, breaking the hug.
"Well, yeah," Noah said.
Bridgette laughed. "You really haven't had much of a dating life, have you?" Noah shook his head. Bridgettte just shook her head, smiling slightly. "Come here. I'll show you a real kiss." With that, Bridgette neared Noah, this time slower so he didn't fall off the dock. Then they kissed. That kiss was the single best thing to ever happen to him. Thanks, Geoff and Duncan. You're not so stupid after all.
After the date, Noah returned to the Killer Bass cabin. The Bass guys had managed to convince the Bass girls to have a sleepover with the Gopher girls. When all of the guys had arrived, Duncan spoke up.
"Okay, men, how did everyone's dates go?" He asked. There were a few mumbles, a few grumbles, and a few laughs. "Why don't we all share how our dates went?" Duncan said.
"Do we have to tell weather or not we kissed or not?" Noah asked. Duncan slapped his face.
"Duh, you idiot." Duncan sighed. "Anyway, I'll draw to see who goes first. Okay, let's see…" Duncan closed his eyes and pointed to a random camper. When he opened his eyes, he was pointing at Tyler. "Tyler," Duncan said. "Tell us what happened."
Tyler shuddered. "Oh, man. It was crazy, man. I almost didn't make it out alive."
"Did you get your stupid kiss or not?" Duncan asked, looking quite cross.
"Kiss Izzy? Why would anyone do that?" Tyler said. "My answer is no. I didn't."
Duncan smiled. "You did well, man. Anyone who can go on a date with Izzy and survive is a true man." Duncan pointed to another person. "Owen."
Owen looked up. "Yeah… about that… When I asked her on a date, she slapped me with a fish." He got a weird look from everyone. "Yeah, I don't know either. But I did manage to get a kiss." Everyone stared in shock.
"How?" Trent asked.
"She tripped and fell on me, and then I kissed her." Duncan looked quite happy hearing that.
"Mission accomplished, my fine sir." Duncan said.
"WHOOHOO!!" Owen shouted.
"Next up… DJ." Duncan said.
"Well, I did manage to get a date," DJ said. "And I really got to know her. She's not that bad, man. When it came to the kissing, though, I just couldn't. It'd be like kissing my sister."
"You have a sister?" Harold said.
"I was speaking metaphorically. Anyway, all I could do is kiss her on the cheek. Nothing else." DJ said.
Duncan shrugged. "I guess that'll count." DJ nodded with approval. He high-fived Owen.
"I guess I'll go next," Duncan said. "To make a long story much shorter, we went on a date. I never kissed her. She kept talking about Sadie. I sorta bailed on her when she was talking. I don't think she even noticed."
"Heh, wouldn't that be funny if she was still out there, talking to herself?" Owen said. That got a few laughs.
"Moving on, how about Trent?"
Trent shuddered just like Tyler, only with much more horror. "Oh… man… Eva's, well… Let's just say I failed. Miserably." Tyler patted him on the back.
"It's okay, man." Tyler said. Duncan knew it was time to move on. Trent was on the brink of tears when he called on Harold.
"Okay, then, well, Lindsay is a total girl. All she did was talk about girl things. She also tried to remember who I was." Harold laughed a little. "And when it came to kissing, man, I didn't think I could make it. She barely gave me enough time to breathe."
Duncan looked suspicious. "Are you serious?" Harold nodded. "Okay, well, I guess Harold scored…" Duncan looked at Justin. "How 'bout you?"
Justin shrugged. "I don't see why you guys think this is so hard. Even though it was hard to get a date, getting the kiss was a piece of cake." Justin then pulled out a compact mirror and started looking at himself.
"Okay, this one should be good. Cody. You're up next." Duncan said. All eyes were on Cody.
"What? Why are you all staring at me?" Cody asked, shrinking down closer to the floor.
"Dude, how did you date go?" Duncan said, saying each word slowly as if Cody was a foreign kid or something.
"Oh, yeah. The date." Cody said, understanding why everyone was staring at him.
"Well? Did you even get one?" Geoff asked. Cody nodded.
"Sure did. I know what you're all thinking. 'This kid must be deranged.' Well, let me tell you, I'm perfectly capable of getting a date with-"
"We get it… Just tell us if you got your stupid date or not." Duncan said, this time clearly ticked off.
"Yes, I did get a date with Gwen. And guess what? She actually kissed me!" Everyone looked at him in shock, especially Trent.
"What? Gwen- kissed you?" Trent asked. Cody nodded.
"Yep. Hey, I'm just as shocked as you guys are." Cody said, looking at everyone individually.
Duncan seemed relieved- in shock, but relieved- that Cody was done with his answer.
"Okay, Ezekiel, you haven't talked, like, at all this whole game. So, how did your date go?" Duncan asked the home-schooled camper.
"What date?" Ezekiel asked.
Duncan looked at him, eyebrow raised. "You were supposed to ask LeShawna on a date."
"I was?" Ezekiel asked again. "Does this mean I loose?"
Duncan nodded. "I'm afraid so."
"Bummer, eh?" Ezekiel said. No one seemed to care, though. They were just anxious to see how the last two campers dates went.
"Okay, Geoff, how about you? Going out with Princess?" Duncan asked, elbowing Geoff playfully.
"Well, hate to rain on your parade, Duncan, but, yeah. Courtney seemed happier to kiss me than you."
Duncan frowned. "Yeah… well… tell her not to get her hopes up…" Geoff laughed.
"That means one person left… Noah… how did everything go?" Duncan said.
Noah looked at Geoff, who seemed extra red in the face today. "Uh, well, yeah, I guess she kissed me…"
That made Geoff snap. "THAT'S IT!!" Geoff lunged for Noah, but then…
He woke up.
Noah looked around, only to find himself in his own bunk, looking at the bunk above him. Oh, good. He thought. I'm not dead. It must have been a dream.
Noah got out of bed and headed to the mess hall. No one needed to know about his dream.
Especially Geoff. But, you know what they say. What they don't know won't hurt them.
In this case, What they don't know won't hurt Noah.
…
What did you think? R&R guys! I love hearing from you!
