After being scolded the other day, Ziggy decided to let more of her anger out. She looked for things to do, but none of them seemed appealing. Then, she remembered that the science center had bunnies held in a cage.

Ziggy knew that the poor rabbits probably wanted out if the cage, so she made her way over to the science center. She snuck past Gary and quickly grabbed the cage. 

Ziggy found the back door and snuck out. She gave the bunnies a couple of carrots she stole from the mess hall. Then, she let the rabbits free. She smiled as she watched the bunnies run free.

She ran away from the cage as quick as she could so no one could see her. Little did she know that her sister saw the whole thing.

All the counselors were called to Nurse Lane's office to review the new safety rules for color war. Alice and Arnie were dragged out of Arnie's cabin by Cindy after they refused to get up. 

Cindy forced them to get out of bed and go to the office. Once they were all there, they reviewed all of the protocols. Nurse Lane stopped in between the instructions and started to stare off into space.

"Nurse Lane? Are you okay?" Asked Cindy as she waved her hand in front of the woman's face. "Nurse Lane? Hello? Nurse Lane?" Tommy said as he shook her shoulders.

"So, why isn't this lady waking up?" Alice said, mostly concerned because Nurse Lane was the only person who knew where all the pills were.

Nurse Lane snapped out of her trance after Tommy clapped in front of her. "Nurse Lane? Why did you do that?" He asked.

"I'm not sure why. My body just froze and I couldn't move. Cindy, could you grab me the Tylenol? I'm getting a headache," The nurse said.

Cindy nodded and grabbed the pills for the nurse. After that, all the counselors left the office to go to their respective places.

Cindy was worried about Nurse Lane, but she had to speak to Ziggy first.

"Christine Berman! What in god's name were you thinking when you pulled that little stunt behind the science center?" Cindy asked as she stormed into cabin five.

"What stunt are you talking about?" Ziggy asked, knowing exactly what Cindy was talking about.

"Hmm. I don't know, maybe the one where you released all the rabbits?" Cindy yelled.

"I was doing them a favor! If you were a bunny, you wouldn't like it if some six year old was squeezing you to death!" She yelled back.

"It still gives you no right to let them go," Cindy said. "For your punishment, I want you to go with Nick Goode out to the clearing where the Hanging Tree is and take at least two photos of bunnies," She said.

Ziggy glared at her sister and left in search of Nick.

Tracy walked up to Cindy. "Hey Tracy!" Cindy said as she waved. "Hi. Can we talk? I think I'm in love with Tommy," Tracy said. Cindy's jaw dropped. "You like Tommy?" She said, always one for gossip.

"Yes! Now be quiet, I don't want anybody to overhear this conversation," Tracy said back. "So, what have you guys done together that makes you think you're in love?" Asked Cindy, intrigued by the secrecy of it.

"Well, we've spent a lot of time together, we went on a picnic, we set up the mess hall together," Tracy told Cindy. "Ah. Now, on your picnic, did you guys kiss?" Cindy asked. 

"Well, we kissed, but it wasn't anything crazy or amazing. It was just sweet," The girl explained.  "See, I think Tommy likes you, and you like Tommy, so you two should just admit your feelings, get together, and finally be happy. This gives you relief. This will give you a taste of love," Cindy said.

"Thanks Cindy. For everything," Tracy said as she walked away.

"Anytime," Cindy said with a smile.
