Chapter Four

Boy Problems!

"I hope Gibson's alright?" Chiro said.

"Chem brought him to the nurse so he should be." Melodie said.

"Do you have to use the camp names?" Chiro asked.

"Yes, it's the camp tradition, Lightening." Carbon answered.

"Lightening?" Nova asked.

"Yeah. I was thinking about it and because you're really fast in battle I thought of you being called Lightening. Pretty neat, huh?" Carbon said.

"I like it. What about you guys?" Chiro said.

"I can't answer right now. I'm still trying to get over the fact that the kid and kiddette are monkeys now." Sprx said.

"It is kinda weird. But you know, it's kinda cool." Chiro said.

"Yeah, right? You get to see the world from your team members' point of view. Plus, it's just so cool." Carbon said.

"Here we are." Melodie said.

Everyone entered the small-ish cabin and didn't see any one.

"Hello? Chem?" Gizmo called.

"Coming!"

Then from around the corner came Seala.

"Hey Chem. How's Gibson?" Otto asked.

"Hi guys. He's alright."

"Seala!"

"Coming!" Seala turned to the others. "I gotta go, but stay here for a minute and I'll be right back."

"Alright. Go ahead." Melodie said.

Seala smiled and ran off.

In the back room…

"I'm here. What'd you need Nurse Leaves?" Seala asked walking into the back room.

"Can you help Gibson up on the crutches while I go get some ice, dreary?" A fairly tall woman asked.

"Of course." Seala said walking over to the bed. "Just put your arm around me and stand on your good foot." Seala instructed Gibson.

"Alright." Gibson did as told and stood on his left foot.

"Good. Now…um…grab that crutch and put it under your arm."

Gibson grabbed the crutch. Then grabbed the other one and started walking with the crutches.

"Here's the ice for his ankle. Now, come back tomorrow if you need more ice. Alright dreary?" Nurse Leaves asked walking back into the room.

"Yes, thank you…um?"

"Just call me Lea dear. All the campers do."

"Thank you Lea." Gibson said walking out of the room with Seala following.

In the waiting room…

"Hello everyone." Gibson said walking into the room.

"Gibson! You're alright!" Gizmo said.

"It's just a sprained ankle. Lea said it should be fine by the end of week." Seala said.

"It really doesn't hurt. Maybe I could just-"

"Oh no. You are not walking on that foot until Lea says it's okay." Seala said.

"But it's probably-"

"Gibson! Are you risking your health just for camp?" Seala shouted.

"He won't walk on it. We'll make sure he doesn't." Chiro said.

"Thank you Chiro." Seala said.

"Yes, thank you." Gibson said with irritation in his voice.

Seala elbowed Gibson in side.

"Oh, Seala. It's Lightening now." Carbon said.

"For Chiro? That's a great idea. Now two down four to go." Seala said.

That night…

"Man, it's already eight o'clock? We better get to bed." Chiro said.

"Are you kidding me? You haven't seen the best part!" Carbon said pulling the HyperForce, except Gibson, the other way.

"Well, shall we?" Seala asked.

"I don't have a choice do I?" Gibson asked.

"Not really. Come on. …I'm sorry about your ankle." Seala answered.

"It's alright. It wasn't your fault."

"Here. Let's sit in the back."

"Why?"

"I like to look at the stars more than I do telling stories."

"Hmm…alright."

Seala laid on the ground and looked up at the sky. Gibson followed.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Seala asked.

"Yes you are. I mean…the stars…they're beautiful. The stars." Gibson said.

"You're so funny." Seala giggled. "Hey you see the constellation that looks like a big cup?"

"Yes."

"That's Ursa Minor, or Little Bear. And the one that's next to it, that looks like it, that's Ursa Major, or-"

"Big Bear." The two said, which made them laugh.

"I've never seen the stars like this before." Gibson attempted.

"Really? You've never stopped work for a night and just look up at the stars?"

"Never. Maybe I should. This is outstanding."

Seala smiled and couldn't believe her boyfriend had never seen the stars.

"HI SEALA!" A boy shouted.

"AH! Ronald! What do you want?" Seala screamed sitting up.

"Just saying hi." This boy was about Chiro's age with blue eyes and blonde hair.

"Well, now that you have, please, go away." Seala said laying back down.

"Aw…come on. I just wanted to lay down with you." Ronald said like when Sprx hits on Nova.

"Go away." Seala demanded.

"Oh come on."

Seala stood up. They were about the same size.

"I said go away."

Ronald grabbed Seala around the waist and pulled her toward him.

"Just a kiss. Come on."

"Let me go. I'll tell the camp leader for this."

"Kiss me!" Ronald whispered, hash this time.

"No." Seala said.

"I'll have to force it out of you then."

Ronald started leaning toward Seala to kiss her, Seala tried to break free but the boy's hold around her has to tight.

"She said let her go."

This made Ronald stop and hold Seala closer. It was Gibson.

"Oh really? And what are you going to do?"

"Just let her go." Gibson said.

"I don't think so." Ronald kissed Seala and she pushed away from his grip and slapped him. "You little-"

"I'd watch yourself if I were you." Gibson warned, he had his drill out and pointed right at the human boy.

"Or what?"

"I'll shoot."

"Gibson no. You'll get arrested." Seala said lowering Gibson's drill.

"Let's get out of here." Gibson said.

Then something tripped Gibson, causing him to fall. It was Ronald's foot.

"Gibson!"

"Ha-ha-ha! Looks like your friend can't even stand on his own feet." Ronald laughed.

"Shut up Water Waves!" Seala shouted.

This caught everyone's attention. The HyperForce and MegaForce saw Gibson on the ground and ran over.

"Gibson, are you alright?" Seala asked kneeing on the ground.

"I'm alright. He tripped me, that's all." Gibson said as Seala and Chiro helped him up.

"You are such a wimp! Ha-ha-ha!"

"RONALD! Did you trip this camper?" Ricky asked standing behind Ronald.

"Yeah, but-but-" Ronald started.

"No 'buts' little bro. Your cabin, now. You are suspended from all camp activities for the rest of the week."

"But Dan. Come on."

"It's Ricky here, and I said, no 'buts'. No go." Ricky said pointing to the cabins.

Ronald walked away in defeat. Then Ricky walked over to Gibson and made sure he was okay. Later that night everyone went to their cabins and fell asleep, all except the campers in cabin 13.
