I own nothing except the characters not with Holes.

Digging Holes and Fighting Boys

Felicity was having a pleasant sleep up until a loud trumpet was sounded from the intercom nearby. Upon hearing it, she fell out of her cot, her blanket wrapped around her torso and legs.

"Like I said, you'll get used to it," Sunshine sighed as she got up from her cot with ease.

Felicity groaned as she stood up to change out of her black tee shirt and plaid pajama shorts. She changed into her work suit, wearing a brown muscle shirt underneath. Sunshine was wearing an orange tee with a purple swirl on the front.

"Matches my outfit," she stated as they left the tent. Felicity groaned again when she saw that it was still dark outside.

"What time is it?"

"Five a.m."

"Damn it," she groaned again as the duo met up with the boys.

"How was your sleep chica?" Magnet asked as he walked along side her.

"Ok, up until that trumpet sounded."

Magnet chuckled as they reached the 'library' filled with shovels.

Magnet went ahead of Felicity, much to her annoyance, until he handed her a shovel. She blushed slightly as she walked away, following after sunshine as they walked. Sunshine carried her shovel behind her, resting the wood on her back while her hands held on to the edges.

"Hope you're up for a little walk," Sunshine told her as they walked. She was right of course, because the actual holes were about fifteen minutes away from camp. "This is where we dig," Sunshine told her as they went to flat ground. "All the other tents have spots where they dig too, some are farther and some are closer to camp."

"So we only have to make one hole?" Felicity asked as she put down her shovel, placing the blade in the sand.

"Yep, but since it's your first one, it might take a while," Sunshine said as she struck the dirt a few feet from Felicity. Following her example, Felicity pushed the blade into the ground.

By high noon, the water truck had arrived, making everyone abandon their hole and walk to the truck. Felicity was closer to the truck, so she lined up first. However, someone poked her shoulder blade.

"Back of the line," X-ray told her, motioning to the back.

"Why?"

"Because I decide who goes first. And I say that you go to the back of the line."

Felicity gave him a confused look, but rather than arguing, she walked over to Sunshine at the back.

"You should have fought back," Sunshine whispered.

"Didn't feel like it," Felicity replied in a hushed tone.

The girls waited patiently until it was their turn. To Felicity's surprise, there were sandwiches and cookies beside the water tank. After having Mr. Sir hand her a water container, only to have it taken from her and filled up, she went to the snacks, grabbing a sandwich and three cookies. Arriving at her hole, she sat down at the edge and began to eat her snack. She had been hungry since that morning and was starving. The sandwich was surprisingly good, though she regretted not getting another. She would have to, if the truck wasn't already driving away.

"Are you hungry?"

Felicity turned to see Magnet was holding a sandwich in his hand and offering it to her.

"Yes, thank you," she grabbed the sandwich from him and began to unwrap it, only to wince in pain.

"What's wrong?" Magnet asked, concerned, as he bent down beside her. She showed him her blistered hands. "That's normal, the blisters will disappear soon. Just don't rub your hands along the shovel too much."

"I wouldn't, but this ground is so tough, even if it is sand."

"The first hole is always the hardest," he remarked as he stood up and went back to his own hole.

Felicity watched him before turning back to the sandwich in front of her. She placed it aside with her cookies and jumped into her hole, taking a hold of her shovel and continuing to dig once more.

After three hours, Felicity still had two more feet—both wide and deep-to dig, just as Zero walked past her hole, in the direction of camp. Felicity watched him before she called over to Sunshine.

"What?" she asked as she peered over her hole.

"Where is Zero going?"

"He's the fastest digger in the camp, and when you finish your hole, you can leave."

Felicity nodded as she understood and continued to dig.

She continued to dig until she noticed that the others were leaving as well. First Zigzag, then Squid, followed by X-ray, Armpit and finally Sunshine.

Felicity sighed when Sunshine left. She still had another foot to dig, but she had no more will power to. Her hands hurt and she could feel that she was getting tired. Hearing nothing but silence, she began to hum to herself an old, Spanish lullaby that her mother would sing to her.

She kept humming the lullaby as she dug, founding that it was giving her the ability to work faster. As the song came to an end, she heard clapping. Looking up, Magnet was crouching over the edge of her hole, listening. Seeing that he was there, Felicity stopped, jumping backwards.

"Sorry to startle you, I was done and was wondering why you were humming," he justified.

"It's ok; you just spooked me, that's all. So if you are done, then why are you still here?"

"Because I would feel bad if I left you all alone in the dark while you dug your hole."

"I would have survived," Felicity told him as she dug.

"Not with all the rattlesnakes and yellow spotted lizards running around."

Felicity gave him a look as she continued to dig. After several minutes, she was finished and ready to climb out of the hole, but was having some difficulties getting out.

"Do you want some help?" Magnet asked as he offered his hand.

Felicity stared at it momentarily before taking it and having him pull her up. She brushed off some of the dirt from her suit before the two of them walked back to camp.

"So you got here because you stole a walkman?" Magnet asked as they walked.

"Pretty much."

"Was it really worth it to do it?"

"I think so. I mean, it was really my...ex friend's idea. She thought it would be great payback if I stole her walkman and tossed it over a bridge."

"And why did you need to get her back?"

Felicity stared at the ground as they walked, before replying, "Because the girl was a rich, white, spoiled princess who got whatever she wanted."

"And that's a good reason?"

"Well, no, but she was also very...judgemental of people."

"How so?" Magnet asked, curious.

"Well, I went to a preppy private school, and I was one of the three Hispanic students. She was sort of the Queen Bee there and she wasn't very kind to us. It wasn't full blown racism, or anything, but she was just cruel to us. Pretty soon, the third kid transferred out after a while, leaving me and that friend. We were upset that we lost our friend, but also annoyed how she wanted to get rid of us too. We ignored her for a while, but...she did something that made me and my friend want revenge. She loved her walkman, so my ex friend proposed that I sneak into her gym locker while she was at cheer leading practise, steal it, and we'd both throw it into the river. But things didn't work out well, as you can see."

Magnet looked at her, only muttering damn when she had finished.

"Yea well, I just want to put this behind me."

"That's understandable, I mean, who wouldn't want to forget that crazy perra."

Felicity smiled lightly as they saw the camp in front of them.

"By the way, how much Spanish do you know?" Magnet asked her.

"Not much, only because my family moved to the US when I was two and my dad was really keen on knowing English. The only other person I heard speak Spanish was my grandmother."

"Oh, I see."

They walked in silence until they reached the camp, where Sunshine was waiting in front of the Rec Hall.

"About time you showed up, I thought the lizards got you."

"Nah, I had some company," she motioned to Magnet. He nodded at Sunshine before he went inside the Hall.

"Well, isn't that interesting," Sunshine cooed as she walked to Felicity.

"What?"

"I think someone has the hots for someone."

"What? Me and... You're sadly mistaken."

"Am I? We'll see," she walked with her into the Rec Hall. Inside, it was somewhat busy, with every boy either paying one of the Rec games or playing pool. Zigzag was in front of a broken TV however, while Armpit fiddled with the antennae. X-ray was talking with Squid while Magnet was playing pool by himself, whilst Zero watched. Walking over to him, Sunshine asked, "Can we join?"

Felicity stared at her as Magnet shrugged and started to gather the balls into the rack. Sunshine went and grabbed a pool stick for Felicity and herself.

"I'll break them," Sunshine said as she leaned over and drew her stick behind her. She pushed it forward again, sending the white ball towards the others and sending the striped ten ball into the left corner pocket. "Your turn," she told Felicity. She was just about to lean over when X-ray and Squid walked over to them.

"Well, we have decided your nickname," X-ray announced.

"Yea, wait till you hear it," Squid chuckled.

"Your new name is-"

"Song," Magnet cut in.

"Song?" Felicity and X-ray said simultaneously.

"Yea, because she sings really well," Magnet told them as he shrugged.

"Does she now, why don't you sing us a little birdie?" X-ray asked as he leaned towards her, his head turned so his ear was facing her direction.

"No, I will not sing for you guys," Felicity said in annoyance. She leaned over the table again, focusing on the solid three ball. Just as she went to wind back, a boy walked by her table. He reached out and pinched her behind.

Felicity yelped in surprise and pain, turning to face the boy who had assaulted her. He was rather tall and muscular, with his black hair in a Mohawk styled close to his head. Wearing a black 'wife beater' under his jumpsuit and black sneakers, he looked like someone who shouldn't be messed with. He wore a devilish grin on his face. Before Felicity could even take a step towards him, Magnet had launched himself at him, grabbing him from behind and tackling him. He flipped the boy over and began to repeatedly punch him in the face and throat.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran over to the struggle. Most were encouraging the fight, but only the boys from D-Tent were trying to pull Magnet off him.

"What are you doing? He assaulted Song," he argued as Zigzag got a hold of him.

"He did what now?" X-ray shouted as he turned to the boy, but Armpit held him back. Two boys from the assailant's tent helped the boy up.

"You made a very big mistake, Rocky," X-ray spat.

"Did I? Because all I did was show this bitch how much of a good time she would have with me, rather than you losers," he added with a wink.

Magnet looked as if he was gonna boil over, trying his hardest to escape Zigzag's grasp while X-ray did the same. However, it was Sunshine that stepped forward.

"You illiterate, vile manwhore. If I ever see you touching Song again, or even near her, I will personally kick you in your tiny balls, castrate you with my shovel and feed them to the yellow spotted lizards while you watch. Do you understand," she asked as she got right up to his face and pointed at him.

Rocky looked somewhat intimidated by her and began to back away, leaving with his tent members. Sunshine looked triumphant as she turned back to her tent. Zigzag and Armpit let go of the boys, while Magnet went to Felicity.

"Song, are you ok?"

"Yes I'm fine," she assured him.

"Here, let me take you back to your tent. I don't think it's safe just yet." Magnet wrapped a comforting arm around her as he led her outside. X-ray stared-with his mouth wide open—at Sunshine, who smirked at him.

"Keep that up and you'll have enough flies to feed ten lizards." She took two steps towards him, reached up, placing one finger under his chin. She easily closed his mouth, before she turned and walked out of the hall after Felicity and Magnet.

"Damn. I never knew Sunshine had it in her," Armpit spoke when she was gone

"Jeez, can you believe it," Squid asked as he came to X-ray's other side. "X-ray?" he waved a hand in front of the blank staring X-ray.

He snapped out of his trance before clearing his throat, "Yea, guess I underestimated her." He looked towards the door, smirking as he did.

Only when they had reached the girls tent did Magnet let go of Felicity or rather, Song.

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yes, I'm a little shaken up, but otherwise, I'm fine."

Magnet looked into her eyes, eying her as if he didn't believe her. She gave him a glare just as Sunshine walked up to them.

"It's nice to know he won't be coming anywhere near," Sunshine announced as she rubbed her hands together.

"I wouldn't say so. Knowing Rocky, he might just want to."

"Don't worry then lover boy, I'll watch over Song tonight. If there's any trouble, you're right across the way."

Magnet flinched at the comment, but otherwise stayed composed. Sunshine shrugged before ducking into the tent.

"She does have a point; I will be right across from you if you are in trouble. I'll stay up all night if I have too."

"Thank you, but that's not necessary," she assured him.

"Song, you know I will."

"No, go get some sleep, I'll be fine. And that's my nickname now, isn't it?"

"Yea, pretty much. No more Felicity anymore, just Song."

"You know, that's starting to grow on me," she smiled.

"Well if you're ok, then I guess it's good night. I'll see you tomorrow."

"You too. Goodnight," Song wished him.

"Goodnight," he replied. After a second, he raised his arms up towards her, with a smirk across his face. Smiling, she walked over, wrapping her arms around him, giving him a hug. They hugged for a moment, before Magnet squeezed tighter and let go, making his way to his own tent. Song stood in front of her tent, watching him disappear into her own tent before going into her own.
