Chapter 13: In Love?

"... When the guy hoid the goil scream, he rushed to her aid. But, when he reached the area where she was, there was no one in sight. Behind him where two pairs of glowing green eyes. The eyes rushed out of the bushes, revealing two zombie-like creatures. One had the form of a wolf, the other the form of the goil. The wolf zombie attacked the guy, soon turning him into a zombie as well. Ever since then, people have claimed to have seen the three zombies wandering in the woods during a full moon. And, whenever there is a suprise storm, I would suggest not going into the woods." Ace finished.

Everyone was silent. Duck looked up into the night sky. There was a full moon out. "Uh, you don't think that those zombies would be in these woods, do you?"

Everyone gave him a questioning look.

"Uh, I just...wouldn't want... the girls to be scared! Even if those zombies were in these woods, there wouldn't be any reason to be scared, cause I can chase them off!" He did one of his useless superhero poses. Lexi, Rachelle, and Cassidy folded their arms and glared at him.

Lexi yawned and crawled into her sleeping bag. "Well, good night people."

"'Night, Lex." Ben and Ace said at the same time. Ace glared at Ben, but Ben didn't notice.

"Good night, Cassidy." Tech laughed as he finished, "Don't let the zombies bite!" Cassidy slapped him. "Ow!"

"Good night, Rev." Rachelle leaned over and lightly kissed him on the cheek.

Rev blushed. "Good night."

When the girls were asleep, Tech raised his eyebrow at Rev. "So, you got yourself a girlfriend there, Rev?"

"Yeah, so? What about you and Cassidy?" Rev countered.

"We are just friends."

"I'm not sure if you've already been told, but there's a big awards ceremony after the show. There's going to be food and dancing, as well." Ben cut in.

"Really? Cool! Hey, Tech, are you gonna ask Cassidy to go with you? You should!" Rev piped up.

Ace knew who he was going to ask. He smiled at Lexi, who was fast asleep.

"Rev, for the last time, Cassidy and I are just friends." Tech put emphasis on the word, 'friends.'

"But.." Rev began.

"Don't make me tape your beak shut." Tech threatened.

"You have tape out here?"

Tech reached into his backpack and pulled out a roll of gauze tape. "Not exactly what I wanted to use, but it should work." That kept Rev quiet.

"Mhmm..." Duck was thinking.

"And what exactly does that mean?" Tech questioned.

"Nothing, if you were someone like Ace. But, knowing you, I understand how you really feel."

"Duck..." Tech warned.

"You, my friend, are as shy around girls as Rev is annoying. And it is clear to see that you like her." Duck poked him.

"Wow, Duck. You really are a genius. I do like her. As a friend! Now please, I'm tired. Good night." Tech layed down and tried to sleep. 'What if Duck's right? I've never fallen in love with a girl before. I don't know what it's like. I could just be confusing myself.' He immediately dismissed his thoughts. He didn't even know if Cassidy felt that way about him.

Ace shook his head. "You, Duck, are headed towards Tech's bad side. I would suggest not going any further." Slam laughed as if to agree.

Duck rolled his eyes. "He'll be thanking me when he and Cassidy are together."

"Sure, whatever, Duck. Good night."
