-nine: color war pt 1

desiree shot up at the sound of an air horn being blown, and rushed to see where it came from.

when it was blown again, she ran towards the boys cabin, and kicked the door open. there she saw corbin and channing, while ej held back ricky.

"i'm calling it. corbin bleu has officially lost his mind!" she yelled. desiree then spotted the stuffed animal in jet's arms and then smiled, "cute duck."

"folks, we're two hours away from camp shallow lake's most exciting tradition. tune in to see a bunch of theater kids get their heads out of the clouds and into the game." corbin said to the camera.

"i'm praying the game is chess." carlos said. "report to the amphitheater at 8:00 a.m. sharp for a day of sports. it's color war!"

"color war? no! i thought they weren't doing that this year. val said so!" desiree complained. "i think she just said that so you wouldn't fake sick.." ej said, and desiree groaned as she turned to leave.

-

"why would you lie to me, you know i'm not good with color war." desiree said, sitting on a table in the managers room.

"it's fine, since you're gonna be with me. commentator, sort of." val said.

"really?"

"yes, and i got you an outfit." val said throwing a pair of clothes to desire.

there was one blue sock, one yellow sock, overall shorts, black converse, and a blue and yellow sweat band.

"oh, this is sweet! and luckily, i bought a rainbow pack of hair ties. i'm so excited!"

desiree quickly went to her cabin, looking in the bathroom mirror.

she fixed her air quickly, simply putting it in two braids.

after getting dressed, she went to the amphitheater, where most people were already.

"when i heard that the camp that's putting on frozen for disney plus has a day that's emotionally similar to the 2006 to 2008 disney channel games, i and the folks at the mouse hq jumped at the chance to include this in our docu-series." corbin said once everyone quiet down.

"dewey, you wanna explain the rules?" corbin said. "uh... yeah. every camper is required to participate in a few challenges. there's two teams..."
"and within each team are teammates." corbin cut him off. "okay, i got this." he said taking the clipboard from dewey.

"okay. you know her. you love her. the captain of the yellow team is maddox." corbin said.

everyone clapped as maddox went up, and corbin then read the clipboard again. "and the captain of the blue team, the director of the show within the show. some people call him spaceship man. its ej."

"spaceship man." desiree said laughing on the stage. "now, with a big smile, tell the camera which of your frozen friends are on each team."

"um...on my team, we have ricky, ashlyn and gina." ej read. "and then maddox's team has kourtney, carlos and jet."

"guys, if you were on a deserted island and could text one person, who would it be? your mom? your ex? your life coach? tomorrow, the winning team can text whoever they want when they get back their phones!" corbin said.

"imagine not having your phone." desiree said snickering to herself. "that's against shallow lake policy. we are not..." dewey said as everyone cheered.

"get your team colors from the bins." corbin yelled out. "i'm corbin bleu, and you're watching disney plus."

-

"let's go, blue. come on." ricky said, as he cheered. he walked over to her who was sitting on the grass playing with a soccer ball.

"hey, buddy. you getting in the zone?" ricky said sitting in front of him. "not exactly."

"i guess it was pretty intense last night." ricky said. "do you think i'm the worst? for the stuff that maddie yelled at me about?" jet asked.

"i've done more than a few things i'm ashamed of, dude. so i'm not one to judge. i thought those texts came from a guy, and i was like, "Why does she get to date when I'm not allowed to," you know? i mean, i just didn't really know what i was looking at." jet explained.

"does maddox know this?" ricky asked. "not sure she'd even hear me."

"we used to sing together all the time as kids. now we barely talk." jet said looking down at the ball.

"so, i once knew this girl who was pretty mad at me, and i deserved it. but the one thing that really helped is i threw myself into something she cared about. like, i joined the show, and i worked really hard." ricky said.

"is being a theater kid the answer to, like, everything in your world?"

"it doesn't always have to be theater, but...look, maddox loves camp. it's color war. maybe you could help her win?" ricky said.

jet thought about it, "it's a 50-50 shot, dude. one team wins or the other does." ricky said. 

"there's a third option where they burn the results in a pizza oven." ashlyn said passing by.

"i get it. that's good!" ricky said laughing, as jet contemplated his plan.

"and as a plus, desiree is not on either team. so you have a chance, without anyone saying you're trying to cheat."
