All was silent in that tent when Mickey and Racko made their way into the tent.
Racko was tall and tough looking.
As for Mickey she looked dainty but she had a glint in her eye that could send anyone running.

Mickey was what interested the boys the most. She was a girl.
They haven't seen a girl in so long they forgot what a girl looked like.
But that's just probably all in their heads.

Dr. Pendanski piped up. "Now boys treat these two with respect and I mean it. Also if you don't mind Mickey will have to share a cot with one of yous since someone messed up her cot." His eyes bore into a boy's that had crazy hair that stuck up which way and that.

The boy had messed up her cot and Dr. Pendanski was angry with him for doing so.
"Now I must go check on Maxwell. See you two later." Dr. Pendanski said to the pair of new campers and hurried out of the tent.

Mickey smiled at the boys. "Hello, I'm Mickey."

Racko was looking the boys over wearily.
Mickey huffed and elbowed him in the side. "Racko! Earth to Jack!" She used his real name hoping for him to snap out of it if she did call him by his real name.

Racko looked down at her. "What did I say about calling me Jack, Mick?" Racko scolded her.

"Not to but it is necessary to introduce yourself to strangers." She pointed out, her manners getting the best of her.

"Your right and I don't like it." Racko huffed.

"I know." She stated, a smile working it's way onto her lips.

"I'm Racko.." Racko said to the boys, crossing his arms.

One of the boys' snapped out of his daze and looked up at Racko.

This boy was dark skinned and had thick glasses.

The boy said. "I'm X-Ray. Nice to meet you two." 'X-Ray' smiled.

Racko nodded while Mickey offered him a hand.
X-Ray looked taken aback by Mickey's gesture.
He shook her hand nonetheless.

X-Ray carried on, wanting to get this introduction over with. He pointed to a heavyset boy that sat on a cot that was just across a cot away. "This is Armpit," He pointed to each boy to get them both aware of who was who,"This is Squid, Magnet, Zigzag, Caveman and Zero."

Mickey nodded. "Nice to meet all of you." She said, a smile gracing her lips.
Racko nodded in agreement.

Squid yipped. "Being polite ain't gonna get you no where!"

Mickey didn't falter though, she simply snorted. "That's your opinion. I might be from Boston, sure, but everyone needs a little bit of etiquette, even you, Squid."

Squid faltered, no one has spoken to him like that before.

Dr. Pendanski had entered the tent, saving the tent from Mickey and Squid possibly getting into a fist fight.
He seemed oblivious to the tension that soiled the air. "Hmm, I see you have been getting to know D-Tent since I left! But anyhow, since you two have to learn the rules here I will be having two D-Tenters explain the ropes here at Camp Green Lake to you."

Cue groans from each boy, each one louder than the last.

"Rex shall be your mentor, Jack."

The said boys looked at each other with uncertain expressions.

"As for Mickey, Caveman can show you the ropes."

They spared glances at each other. Mickey gave Caveman a small smile though.

The other boys groaned at who was Mickey's mentor.
Surely she should've gotten paired with Armpit, Zigzag or Magnet.
Or even Squid! But Caveman had gotten the job.

Dr. Pendanski shrugged off their groans. "The rest of the boys can help you get settled." He explained then walked out of the tent leaving Racko and Mickey to fend for themselves.

X-Ray snorted. "Dr. Pendanski calls you by your real name all the time. He won't say your nickname. We've given him a nickname though. It's Mom. So you really don't have to say Dr. Pendanski all the time." He had said this out of the blue, sure, but Dr. Pendanski was a long name to say so what he said was at least useful.

"Alright." Racko said while Mickey just nodded.

Mickey walked over to Caveman before anyone could utter a word.

"So..Caveman, was it? Can you show me around?" She asked the nervous boy.

He nodded and jumped up leading her out of the tent.


( Mickey's Pov )

Caveman led me around camp, showing me the Showers, where to fill up my canteen, the Mess Hall, and let's not forget the Wreck Room. Catcalls and whistles were thrown at me like spitballs.
I didn't like how..perverted...they could get and I could see Caveman didn't like it either.
Caveman huffed as another catcall was thrown my way.
Like I said, he didn't like it.

We were just heading to our last stop. It was called the 'library'.
Yet when we got there I was surprised to find that this 'library' was just a large shed filled with shovels.
Not a book was in that shed either. Darn..

He seemed relieved that we could get back to tent but seemingly fate had different plans.
Jailbird cut us off before we could get to D-Tent and she grabbed me, pulling me into a hug.

She exclaimed. "Finally I found you!" She seemed glad to have found me.

She had me pulled to her chest, her face nuzzled into the crook of my neck.
Let me rephrase that, she was ecstatic that she found me.

Caveman-who was standing near-seemed taken aback at how high up I was and that Jailbird was a girl, a tall girl at that.

"Jailbird, cough, your crushing my, cough, ribs..." I sputtered.

Jailbird let go but still kept a tight grip on my shoulders. "You are coming with me! I don't wanna give you up to your just yet!"

She picked me up-again-and hurried over to E-Tent.
Caveman on the other hand I saw run to D-Tent.

Oh boy.

( Racko's Pov )

Caveman rushed into the tent, you could tell he was out of breath.
The rest of D-Tent could care less.
I cared though seeing that Mickey wasn't with him.

"Where's Mick?" I asked, jumping to my feet, ignoring Armpit's requests to finish playing cards with him.

Caveman sputtered, leaning on Zero's cot, trying to catch his breath. "E-Tent."

The rest of D-Tent seemed to perk up at the mention of E-Tent.
I wasn't happy with Caveman letting them take her but at least Jailbird was part of their tent.

"Caveman?" I asked.

"Y-Yeah?"

"Who took her?" I asked, hoping Jailbird had taken her not anyone else who might harm her.
Mickey's grown on me! Don't judge me.

"A tall girl..."

I sighed in relief. "No worries then." I sat back down.

"What? Why are you so calm about this?!" Caveman sputtered, obviously confused.

"Because that tall girl is my sister." I stated, like it was obvious.

"But still it's E-Tent we're talking about!" Caveman retorted, I really didn't know that big deal about E-Tent..

"Caveman if it's his sister she's fine." X-Ray chimed in.

"Ok I'll calm down. Just whose apart of E-Tent is what worries me.." Caveman said.

He just had to say that..


( Mickey's Pov )

I sat on Jailbird's cot. I was talking to the boys of E-Tent and I found them interesting.

So far I have made friends with four of the boys, Chipper, Rut, Decker, and Faceless.

Chipper was a brunette with a lot of bark but no bite.
Rut was green haired and the crazy one out of the bunch.
Decker was a brunette with an attitude but he was someone you wanted on your side in a fight.
And last but not least, Faceless, a German with a bad boy vibe.
They were a tough bunch to handle.

There were three other boys but they were in the Wreck Room at the moment from what I've been told.

Jailbird was trying to get Faceless to admit she was smarter than him at the moment and I found it amusing and so did Decker, Chipper and Rut.

Rut was rooting for Jailbird while Decker was rooting for Faceless.
Chipper and I didn't wanna pick sides and we found ourselves conversing with one another.

Chipper looked over at me. "So what's up with you?"

"Hmm? Oh you mean the sky?" I looked up at him, a smile spreading across my lips.

"No I mean how are you hanging?" He asked again, a uncertain look on his face.

"In a tree?" I asked, a grin working it's way onto my lips.

"No I mean-Gah! You know what I mean!" He huffed.

"Oh! Well I'm doing fine. But may I ask you one thing?" I asked.

"Okay, shoot." He said, leaning back.

"Why are you asking me if I'm doing fine?"

"I was curious." He said, smiling.

Curious huh?
