ELAINA: What is that ringing sound?
JENNA: I don't know but it's really annoying.
NAOMI: Is it an alarm or something?
ELAINA: I'm not sure. I don't really want to get up and find out though.
NAOMI: If it's an alarm, we are probably supposed to get up.
JENNA: That's fine with me. The ground is really uncomfortable anyway.
NAOMI: Come on, Elaina.
ELAINA: Meh.
NAOMI: Elaina.
ELAINA: I'm sleeping.
NAOMI: No you're not. Get up.
ELAINA: Fine. But only because of the annoying sound of that alarm. And Naomi's voice.
NAOMI: Hey!
ELAINA: Let's go.
NAOMI, JENNA, and ELAINA exit the tent when a voice echoes through the campground
PRINCIPAL HARRIS: Good morning students and welcome to Day Two of Survival Week! This morning you will venture into the woods to find edible berries. Be sure to bring your berry guide that was sent to you in the mail so you don't accidentally poison yourselves!
ELAINA: Lovely.
PRINCIPAL HARRIS: Your breakfast will consist of the berries and plants you find, along with the fish you caught yesterday. Good luck!
NAOMI: I'm starting to hate those two words.
ELAINA: Fish for breakfast?
JENNA: We don't have to worry about that, remember? Our fish was stolen.
ELAINA: Oh yeah. So what are we going to eat?
JENNA: Let's break out that frozen pizza.
ELAINA: Okay.
NAOMI: We still have to go forage for berries and stuff.
ELAINA: Ugh, that's no fun.
NAOMI: Come on.
ELAINA: Fine. But we're still eating the pizza.
JENNA: Hey, look over there! Lindsay and her friends are gone. Do you think they already went into the woods?
ELAINA: No way. They'd be too afraid to break a nail.
NAOMI: Jenna's right, though. They're not here. Where do you suppose they could have gone?
ELAINA: Probably to steal someone else's fish.
NAOMI: You weren't going to eat that fish anyway, Elaina. And besides. We have better things to do than worry about where Lindsay went off to.
JENNA: Not really.
ELAINA: Oh no.
JENNA: What?
ELAINA: Remember what we spoke about earlier?
JENNA: You don't think...
ELAINA: Yes I do. They're planning revenge.
NAOMI: What's going on? Revenge for what? What didn't you guys tell me?
JENNA: Naomi, get inside the tent right now.
NAOMI: Why? Guys, please. What's going on?
ELAINA: Everyone get inside the tent NOW!
LINDSAY, CARLY, and SUE emerge from the woods with paint guns and begin to fire towards ELAINA, NAOMI, and JENNA
JENNA: Forget the tent, let's get out of here!
