ELAINA: Are they ever going to fall asleep? It's almost midnight and I can still hear them talking.
NAOMI: Maybe this is just a sign that this whole thing is a bad idea. I was against it from the start. I say we just forget the whole thing.
ELAINA: We can't give up now! I spent two whole hours drawing up my battle plan!
JENNA: She did.
NAOMI: Okay fine. We'll wait for a little while longer, but if they don't fall asleep by 1:30, I say we give up.
JENNA: That sounds reasonable.
NAOMI: Elaina, there is still one thing I'm not sure about in your plan. How exactly are we going to get the tuna?
ELAINA: I told you already. We are going to sneak over to the pavilion and grab the leftovers from the buckets sitting outside.
NAOMI: And you're positive that they'll be there?
ELAINA: Yes.
NAOMI: There's one more thing.
JENNA: Of course there is.
NAOMI: You said you know when the teachers walk past our campsites to make sure everything is fine, but what about the campsites around the pavilions? What if they are there while we are trying to steal the fish? Won't they see us?
ELAINA: Not if we blend in. If we wear all black, we'll blend right into the night. No one will see us go in and no one will see us leave.
NAOMI: I don't have an all-black outfit with me.
JENNA: I have extras.
ELAINA: It helps that Jenna brought her whole closet.
JENNA: Mostly.
NAOMI: So what do we do now?
ELAINA: For now, we wait.
JENNA: And then?
ELAINA: It's Tuna Time!
Thirty minutes later, the talking from LINDSAY's campsite subsides and Operation Tuna is put into place.
ELAINA: We're dressed in all black. Lindsay's asleep. Everything is going according to plan.
JENNA: This is so exciting. I feel like a spy. Or a superhero. Or a villain. I'm not sure which.
NAOMI: Do I have to go with you guys? What if something happens here?
ELAINA: That's a good point. Maybe Naomi should stay here in case Lindsay tries to strike again. Or in case one of the teachers checks in.
NAOMI: Okay. I'll stay here.
JENNA: And Elaina and I will go get the tuna and bring it back here.
ELAINA: And then we can put it in Lindsay's tent and revenge will be ours!
NAOMI: You guys better go now. One of the teachers is supposed to be here in ten minutes.
ELAINA: Good point. Are you ready, Jenna?
JENNA: I was born ready.
ELAINA: You're enjoying this too much.
JENNA: Like you're not.
NAOMI: Guys? Just go before we get caught.
JENNA: Okay. Let's go.
