ELAINA: Okay, let's go. Try to be as quiet as possible. If we get caught, we'll be kicked out of camp and have to write a twenty page essay instead.
JENNA: Yikes. But honestly, a twenty page essay might be better than three more days of Survival Week.
ELAINA: But we're at war now, and getting kicked out of camp would be like surrender.
JENNA: Truth.
ELAINA: Someone's out there.
JENNA: Where?
ELAINA: Right there! Quick! Into the bushes!
JENNA: What bushes?
ELAINA: I don't know! But when I planned the possibility of a teacher wandering around out here, there were bushes nearby to hide in!
JENNA: We are not in your mind Elaina! There are no bushes!
ELAINA: What do we do? What do we do?
JENNA: Um... (looks around for somewhere to hide) Hide behind that tent!
ELAINA: Okay.
JENNA and ELAINA jump behind a tent just as a teacher walks past with a flashlight.
TEACHER: Who's out there?
ELAINA: Stay calm.
TEACHER: Hello? Is anyone there?
JENNA: What is he doing?
ELAINA: He's coming over here!
JENNA: What are we going to do? We're going to be in so much trouble!
ELAINA: Maybe not. I have an idea. (begins howling like a wolf)
JENNA: This is your idea??
ELAINA: Look, its working!
TEACHER backs away as ELAINA continues making wolf sounds
JENNA: That was a close one.
ELAINA: Way too close. We still have a ways to go before we reach the pavilion.
JENNA: This prank better be worth it.
ELAINA: It will.
JENNA: I still don't understand why we have to sneak out in the middle of the night to steal buckets of tuna. Couldn't we have just snuck some out during lunch?
ELAINA: Well that might have been a bit suspicious leaving lunch with buckets of tuna.
JENNA: It might be a bit suspicious wandering around in the middle of the night with buckets of tuna.
ELAINA: It must just be something about the buckets of tuna that makes us look suspicious.
JENNA: And the fact that we're dressed in all black.
ELAINA: That too.
JENNA: Is that the pavilion up ahead?
ELAINA: It looks like it. Let's run.
JENNA: I'm not exactly the fastest runner.
ELAINA: Fine. We'll speed walk then.
JENNA: Naomi's lucky that she didn't have to come along on this mission.
ELAINA: Not mission. Fish-ion.
JENNA: Now who's the fish pun person?
ELAINA: I have to admit. They're growing on me. Like leeches.
JENNA: Um... I don't know how to respond to that.
ELAINA: I don't either. Let's pretend that never happened.
JENNA and ELAINA finally reach the pavilion
JENNA: Alright. The buckets of tuna should be around here somewhere.
ELAINA: There!
JENNA: They look sort of heavy.
ELAINA: (picks one up) They're not bad.
JENNA: (picks one up) No. But I found a flaw in your plan.
ELAINA: Wouldn't be the first one.
JENNA: These buckets are pretty big. We can't hide them in our tent. And if we leave them in our campsite, the teachers will know we stole them.
ELAINA: Good point. We'll just have to sneak the buckets back here after.
JENNA: What about the tuna? Won't they realize that all the leftovers are gone?
ELAINA: I know this isn't the time, but I just thought of something. This tuna has not been refrigerated and has been sitting outside for the past two nights. And we are supposed to eat it again tomorrow.
JENNA: Gross. At least it will all be in Lindsay's tent by then.
ELAINA: Just in case, let's only take one bucket. We'll put all this tuna in Lindsay's tent and then divide the tuna in the second bucket between both buckets when we return this one.
JENNA: Good idea. Now let's go before anyone sees us.
ELAINA: Operation Tuna Phase Two is complete.
