In this story, all the kids are in the ages 11 and 12 right now.

Lazlo, Raj, and Clam ran after the yellow bunny through the woods. They followed her through Raj's sugar sensitive nose, which could sense a single morsel of sweets a mile away (hey, if you were in a camp with no candy allowed for a whole summer, you would be the same way). Having finally caught up with the rabbit, she was still in that witch outfit. It showed off a lot of her curves and skin. The moonlight peeked in through the trees, giving her an even magical glow. Turning around, they could see it gleamed in her emerald eyes beautifully.

"Here you guys go." She said, and threw the small bag of candy to them. It landed on the ground in front of them, too caught up in the sight before them to notice. Krystine was now even more confused. She thought that they would enjoy finally having some candy after it being confescated. She waved her hand in front of their dazed faces. "Hello? Are you guys alright?" She asked. A strong wind blew, and in the blink of an eye, she was back to normal, the green choker back on her neck.

"Wha- What are you?" Raj asked. Clam picked up the candy bag and would have inhaled it if Lazlo hadn't taken it away.

"Oh, I'm a witch. You're not going to drown me or burn me to the stake right?" She asked, stepping back slightly.

"Wha? Why would we do that to you? That is no way bean scouts would treat anyone!" Lazlo stated, hand to his sash. Krystine smiled and let out a loud sigh of relief.

"So are you guys gonna eat that candy or not?" The rest of the night was spent Krystine watching the boys tussle for a while for the candy since Clam had already snuck a few pieces.

The next day

A loud trumpet was sounded and the bean scouts stood in a line in front of the pole. Krystine was at the nurses office still, helping inventory the medical supplies. "Alrighty bean scouts! We've got some very familiar visitors with us today, everyone say welcome to..." Slinkman stepped back a bit and ushered his hands towards the front gate. "Edward's brothers and some of the most successful campers we've ever had!" He said, then left. All of the bean scouts broke into a large panic, but a loud whistle was sounded by the largest platypus. They all ran back into a line and gave their best smiles.

"Hello maggots. I see you guys haven't changed at all since our last little meeting..." The eldest brother walked past them all while speaking, the bean scouts were smiling as best as they could and sweat dripping down their faces. All of them were nervous wrecks, anticipating what hardships the platypus's would make them do.

The bean scouts were forced to scrub clean the mess hall floor as one of the brothers walked around with muddy shoes. "Lazlo, what us going to happen when they find out about..." Raj started, but lowered his voice as the platypus neared them. "...you know who?" Lazlo didn't know what he was talking about at all, he just looked at Raj with a confused stare.

"You know who? You mean scoutmaster Lumpus?" He asked.

the platypus snapped them on the heads. "SHUT UP AND GET TO WORK!" He yelled. Then the air was pierced with a shrill girlish scream. The bean scouts ran outside, despite the protests of the platypus behind them.

At the nurses office

Two platypus brothers were sprawled on the front lawn of the nurses office, scouts were gathering around to see Krystine trying to help Nurse Leslie reorginize the chaos inside. There were bottles and books strewn everywhere, even bits of fabric from clothing. Krystine sat on the cot, massaging her bruised fists and eyes dark, her yellow ears drooped over her face. Nurse Leslie had put a white gauze tape on her bruised fists. The two boys out cold on the ground both had black eyes and bruises. One of them also had a broken bill and tail twisted into a knot.

"Wha! What is going on here?" Slinkman asked as he was pushing through the crowd to see the brothers and Krystine. Nurse Leslie was inspecting some of the damage.

"Those two were trying to go through the cabinets for some special drugs I use for wounds. Krystine stopped them but had to get a little violent." He explained. Krysrtine was holing her fists, tears sliding down her muzzle.

"It... hurts..." She mumbled. She looked up to reveal a large black eye. It was puffy and filled with tears. Everyone gasped. Someone punched a girl. Everyone looked at the platypus's. Lazlo couldn't help it as a surge of anger welled up in his chest.

Soon enough, all of Edward's brothers were rallied up and given a scolding by Slinkman, including some cursewords. The scouts were not allowed out of their cabins. The jelly beans snuck out though, and ran to the nurses office to check on Krystine. They found her and Nurse Leslie, laughing. They listened into heir conversation through an open window.

"Wow, I can't believe that actually worked!" Said she, and took a wet paper towel and dabbed her 'swollen' eye to reveal that it was covered with makeup and not hurt in any way.

"Well, just make sure no one knows about this, alright?" He asked, she nodded and wiped it away. Nurse Leslie left the room and Krystine lifted her finger a bit, the green jewel shining. Lazlo, Clam, and Raj flew in through the window.

"you guys need to work on your stealth, I could hear you coming for a while." She said, continuously dabbing her eye. Raj and Clam frowned. Lazlo spoke up.

"Why did you trick everyone like that? That's not nice!" He said.

"Bad trick!" Clam agreed.

"I'm sorry guys, but I just didn't like how those guys were breaking everything and hurting people. That eldest Platypus stole some of the garden plants from Acorn Flat I heard, and turned them into cigarettes. What's a cigarette?" She wasn't familiar with any of these things.

"I don't know really..." Lazlo said, scratching his chin.

"Can you guys just promise me one thing? Please don't tell anyone about this." She begged, looking at them with big green eyes. Lazlo swallowed hard, Raj and Clam noticed this and they gave knowing grins at each other.

"We promise, right guys?" Lazlo looked at his friends and they all nodded. Nurse Leslie then wheeled into the room and he was caught by surprise when he saw the bean scouts in the room.

"Guys! Wha-What are you doing here?" The nurse asked, worried that the boys would tell and he would get fired from the only job he had. Krystine noticed his edginess.

"Don't worry, they promised not to tell. Right guys?" They all nodded. Nurse Leslie let out a sigh of relief, then he left, shutting the door behind him without another word.

"You guys should probably get back to your cabins now, I heard that Slinkman was going to check on everyone's cabins before dinner today." Krystine said, ears twitching.

"Where'd you hear that?" Raj asked.

"Just now, my ears can hear a lot. Oh, and..." She adjusted her ear a bit. "We're having... ah, pea and cabbage stew tonight." She stated. She flicked a finger and all three guys floated towards the window. "Thanks guys for promising me." She said, and waved with a smile. Lazlo smiled back and waved slightly. Raj watched as Lazlo's tail curled a bit. All three boys plopped onto the ground under the window and walked back to the cabin undetected.

Raj shut the door and Lazlo sat on his bed. "You like her don't you?" The elephant asked. Lazlo was taken aback by his friend's sudden question.

"O-Of course I like her! Everyone does and she's a really nice friend." He said lamely.

"No! I mean as in-"

"LOVE!" Clam yelled.

"Wha? Wh-What makes you say that? We're friends, nothing more!" Lazlo insisted, pulling back the collar of his uniform and a bit of steam came out. Did it suddenly get hot in here? He wondered. Raj just raised an eyebrow at his friends uneasiness.

"Okay, so I might have a TINY little ensey weensey crush on Krystine." He admitted.

"More like big crush." Clam said. Lazlo shot him a look and Clam just laughed, Raj joining in and soon enough, Lazlo too.
