Crazy trouble with love
Gretchen and Mcgee
Series: Camp Lakebottom
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Mcgee, Squirt, and Gretchen swimming around their lake, trying to enjoy the day with a nice swim.
"This is the Life, huh Guys?" McGee asked.
"Yeah!" cried out Squirt with a smile as he floated on his back.
"You said it." Gretchen said as she laid in her floating chair.
But flying through the air was something to change all that. As we all know, nothing in camp Lakebottom is ever Normal.
Flying over them was a small naked baby-like being with wings and a bow.
"Perfect" he said as he aimed his Bow at Gretchen. He pulled back on the string as a red arrow appeared and let it fly. The first arrow missed and hit a Squirrel which fell in love with a Fish/
"Dang."
He fired off a second arrow, but it missed and hit a bird that fell in love with a Cat.
Cupid face palmed and pulled a pair of Glasses. "Ah, much better." He aimed his arrow and this Time he hit his Mark.
"Ow!" cried Gretchen who fell off her chair and into the water.
McGee dived under to get her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back to the surface. "Are you alright Gretch?"
"Uh, I think so."
She opened her eyes and Blushed when she saw McGee.
"Can you swim back to your chair?"
"I think so."
Gretchen stared at Mcgee as he swam away from her. She blushed as she watched him swim off.
That's when two familiar rich snobs decided to show up. It was "everyone's favorite" rich kid Jordan Buttsquat more commonly known as Buttsquat.
Beside him was Mcgee's spoiled sister Susie. Even though more recent episodes have Shown she's not much of Pain or very hateful towards the Bottom dwellers, she's still annoying.
"Hello, Bottom Dwellers." sneered Buttsquat.
"What do you want Buttsqaut?"
"Just wanted to check on the losers of Lakebottom." gloated Buttsquat.
"Oh didn't know you Cared." McGee said with sarcasm.
Before Buttsquat could say anything else, he jumped out of the way as a large rock landed near him. "Whoa!"
All the kids turned to see Gretchen picking up another large rock while her eyes looked like they were pink flames. "BUTTSQUAT! PREPARE TO BECOME BUTTSQUASH!"
"Yipe!" Buttsquat started running as Gretchen chucked the rock and it made a bigger impact on the boat. "Abandon Ship!"
"My hair!" cried Susie as a third rock made her and Buttsquat fall into the water.
"More than your hair will be ruined if you don't leave us ALONE!"
Buttsquat and Susie panicked at seeing Gretchen try to rip a tree out to throw it. "Let's get out of here!"
They swam as fast as they could away just as Gretchen ripped the tree out of the ground. "She hurled it at the opposite camp. The tree caused an island Quake that destroyed everything on it.
"Uh Gretchen? I think you went a little overboard." commented Squirt.
"Really?"
"You threw a tree all the way at their camp. I'd say so." Mcgee threw in.
"Not all bad. At least now Buttsquat will leave us alone."
That's when Rosemary ran outside after hearing the loud noises. "What's going on out here!?"
That's when she saw Gretchen's eyes fade from pink to their natural color. "Gretchen, are you experiencing any Changes?"
"No, why?" she asked.
"No changes at all?"
"Nope." replied Gretchen whose eyes briefly flashed pink.
"No sudden bouts of Super strength?"
"Oh, definitely." nodded Gretchen before picking up a rock twice her size.
"Just as I thought, but I need to make sure. I want you to go fetch me some hermit crabs. I want to try a new recipe."
"Done." she instantly came back with hermit crabs.
"Uh, why don't you go lay down and rest? I need to talk with Squirt and Mcgee."
"Uhh sure."
Rosemary took the boys away before facing them. "Alright, which of did she look at first?"
"Me I guess." McGee said.
"Then you my boy are in grave danger." warned Rosemary with a grave tone.
McGee knew whenever Rosemary used that tone of voice it was seriously Bad news.
"Gretchen must have been hit with one of Cupid's arrows."
"Cupid?"
"Yes and not just any Cupid, it was Lupid the Stupid Cupid."
"Well what makes him stupid?"
"He thinks two plus two equals Fish."
"That is stupid." spoke Squirt.
"Exactly."
"So Gretchen's in love with me?"
"Sadly."
"But how come she got so strong? That's not what I heard falling in love could do." spoke up Squirt.
"Ever heard the Phrase love makes you do crazy things?" Both guys nodded. "Crazy strength and other stuff are bound to happen. And if she isn't cured by sunset, the effects shall be Permanent."
"Oh great." sighed Mcgee. "We have three hours to find a Cure."
"For what?" asked Gretchen right next to him.
"Uhhh nothing, nothing at all." McGee said.
"Good." she smiled grabbing his hand and dragging him away from Squirt and Rosemary.
He mouthed the words "Help me" to them.
"So what were you guys talking about?" asked Gretchen with an edge in her voice.
"Uhhh pop-Tarts." She gave him a doubtful glance. "What?"
"You're lying." she growled.
"No I'm not!"
"You're left earlobe twitches when you lie."
"Not true."
Gretchen growled and smashed a hole into a tree with her bare hands.
"Uhh, well, we're trying to find a Cure."
"For what?"
"Well you see you were hit with a Cupid's arrow and fell in love with me."
"Are you saying my feelings are lies?!" she growled clenching her fists as they were lit on fire.
"Uhhh, yes?"
"LIAR!" she ended up throwing a fireball near his head. "THEY'RE REAL!"
"If they were you wouldn't be throwing fireballs at Me!"
Gretchen growled and MCgee saw she wasn't listening. MEaning he had had one thing left to do: Run.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"GET BACK HERE!" roared Gretchen running after him.
"LOOK IT'S R2D2!" McGee said as he pointed behind her. He ducked however when Gretchen didn't look back and nearly roasted him with a fireball.
"LOOK SOMEONE GOT KICKED IN THE BOINGLOINGS! THE BOINGLOINGS! BOINGLOINGS! SOMEONE GOT KICKED IN THEM!"
Gretchen inhaled before spewing out a stream of fire at Mcgee.
The fire Shot McGee towards a wall. "Gretchen, if you really loved me you wouldn't Kill me!"
"Oh but that's just it! Once I fry you up, I'll keep your bones and you'll be MINE FOREVER!" she roared with a demented grin.
"See what I Mean? Alright Gretch, Do it. Burn me, but can I just do one Last thing before I Die!?"
"Of course." she gave a sweet smile as the fire on her hands died down.
Having no other choice, he grabs her by the shirt and kisses her.
Gretchen's eyes widened as her eyes glowed bright pink before it returned to her original color.
He stopped kissing her as she passed out. He carefully picked her up and walked back down to the camp.
"Guys, I think I cured her."
"I hope so. It's sunset now." replied Rosemary pointing to the sky.
Gretchen started to wake up.
"Gretchen?"
"M-Mcgee...come closer."
"Yeah?" He leaned in Closer.
"I'll take your bones." she whispered with a manic grin.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" McGee Ran off into the Cabin.
"Heh...worth it..." Gretchen got out with a smile.
"Wait, so you aren't mad that McGee Kissed you?" Squirt asked.
"It...cooled me down...so I'm happy..." she got out.
