Chapter 5: A Small Tip

You woke up the next morning to the laughter of your tent mates.

"Ugh…" you growl into your pillow as you open your eyes. It's still dark outside so you could barely see Armpit dancing in your pink bra.

"Armpit… why are you wearing my bra?" you ask sleepily.

"You're the one who threw it at me while you were sleeping." He answered, squeezing the padding.

"Sorry. They're uncomfortable to sleep in." You yawn, throwing the blankets off you as you slowly rise out of your bed and stretch your muscles awake. "What time is it?" you ask rubbing your eyes.

"Quarter to 5." Squid says as his watch glows in the darkness.

"I need to change into a bikini, since we're gonna be digging in the sun all day. You guys aren't gonna get hard looking at me, are you?" you smirk. "Zero, since you're the only one not drooling over my goodies right now, can you hold my blanket up as I change?" you ask extending the blanket towards him. He nods in agreement as he holds the blanket up. You quickly change into a white bikini with bottoms that tie at the hips.

"Done." You say shaking the blanket. He puts your blanket on your bed and sits down on his cot. "Thanks." He nods a 'your welcome'. You look around and see all the guys, except Zero, staring at your body. "Keep it in your pants guys. Oh and just a warning, any of you pull these strings, you'll get it later. " You threaten as you shoot them an evil glare. You pull your orange suit and a pair of white flip-flops on as the morning trumpeting sounds.

"Come on Nikki. We gotta get our shovels." X-Ray says as he pats your back a little too hard making you stumble out of the tent. You almost hit the ground when Squid catches you.

"Whoa! Careful, Nikki." He says bringing you to your feet.

"Thanks." You brush yourself off and continue to walk towards the 'library' to get your shovel for the day.

"Well, Good morning Mr. Sir! Looks like it's gonna be a beautiful day." You say sarcastically, looking into the morning sky as Mr. Sir throws a shovel in your hands. "Jeez… careful man." You say turning to Caveman. "Someone's pmsing this morning and it's not me." You walk away as he starts laughing. You walk towards the rest of the guys and pick a spot between ZigZag and Squid to dig. "This looks like a good spot." You said stabbing the shovel into the ground. You continue to jab at the dirt with your shovel barely making a dent. "Man, this is harder than it looks!"

"That's 'cuz you're doing it wrong." ZigZag says from behind you. You look over at him and notice he's already got a small hole.

"So how am I supposed to do it?"

"Just thrust the tip of the shovel into the ground, push it in with your foot, and scoop the dirt out. Like this." He shows you how it's done as he takes another shovel of dirt out of his hole.

"Okay…" you thrust the shovel into the ground as you scoop up dirt. "Thanks for the tip, Ricky." You relish as he smiles back at you.

"You know…" You say still digging getting ZigZag's attention again. "You're kinda nice… when your mouth isn't screwing it up." You smile at him.

"You're kinda pretty… when your face isn't screwing it up." He smirks back as you throw a shovel of dirt at him.

"Damn Nikki, that shovel's almost as tall as you are!"

"I'm only 5'2"…" Your hole gradually gets bigger as you get used to digging. You stick your green eyes over the hole's edge to see how far along everyone else is.

"Yo… where's Nikki?" You hear Squid shout.

"She's probably fucking Magnet again…" ZigZag replies. You throw at rock into the air as it lands with a loud thud.

"Ow!" ZigZag exclaims.

"I'm right here perverts!" you say waving your arm in the air.

"Holy shit!" They yell as you hear the guys getting out of their holes.

"You're almost done!" Caveman says stunned.

"I didn't realize I was digging so fast until I looked up. What's the matter boys… didn't think a girl could outdig you?" you ask looking at their expressions.

"It's only lunch time!" X-Ray screams.

"You want help with your hole X?" you asks batting your eyelashes at him.

"No! …I don't need help."

"But I'll take help!" Caveman pips. You look over at his hole and it's half your size.

"Alright… you need it." Your hear the water truck approaching as Magnet and Squid help you out of your hole. "I can tell you all right now, I'm definitely gonna need help getting out of my hole everyday." You take a spot behind Zero in line as refill your jug and grab an apple and graham crackers to eat for lunch. You dawdle over to Caveman's hole and sit next to him.

"I don't think I'm supposed to help you, so when Sir leaves, I'll come over. Okay?"

"Alright."

"'Kay." You walk back over to your hole and wait for Mr. Sir to leave. He finally speeds off in his truck as you drop your orange suit to the ground and step out of your flip-flops.

"Why are you taking off your suit?" ZigZag asks curiously.

"It's too hot… I'm roasting in it." You say plainly. You make your way back over to Caveman's hole, the guys staring at you as you walk by their holes. "You ready Caveman?" you ask looking down at him in his hole.

"Yea…" he squeaks. You laugh to yourself as you throw your shovel down to him and jump in. You both take sides and start digging. After a while of digging, you're pretty far along, so you look over at Caveman who's struggling just as much as you were when you started.

"Dude, Caveman slow down. You're gonna pop a vein like that. Don't only use your arms, put your body weight on the shovel to dig farther and scoop up more dirt. Let me show you." You walk up behind him, wrap your hands around his waist and guide the shovel into the ground. "See how much easier and faster that is?"

"Thanks." You continue to dig as you finally finish.

"Alright, let's get out of this hole." You lift your foot and place it in his hands as he boosts you out the hole. You climb out of the hole and turn to help him. You dust the dirt off you as you look around and notice Zero's gone and the rest of the boys are nearly finished.

"We finished before everyone else… that's a first for me." Caveman says calmly.

"I'm so happy I could strip off my bikini and run around the camp naked…" you say jokingly as the guys jolt their heads up at you. "That was a joke…" you roll your eyes and walk towards camp.
