New Additions (A Camp Lazlo Fanfiction)

Chapter 2 • BECOMING A BEAN SCOUT

The bus was slowly coming to a stop after entering the camp ground of Camp Kidney. Oliver looked at the campsite throughout the window of the bus. Soon, the bus came to a stop. "And here we are." Slinkman said as he opened the doors of the big yellow bus, walking down the steps with the new soon-to-be beanscout following behind. "Welcome to Camp Kidney." The yellow slug smiled as Oliver did the same but he didn't recognize that the bus would draw the attention of the other campers around him from their daily activities and plans which as a new kid would in a way make him very uncomfortable. More and more campers started to notice and whisper amongst themselves. Oliver felt nervous in a way as much as he wanted to experience life as a camper. "Hey, um.. where's the scoutmaster?" Oliver asked shyly. "He should be in his office. Why don't you go settle, unpack, and get to know some of the campers while I go let Scoutmaster Lumpus that you're here." Slinkman suggested as Oliver nodded. He grabbed his luggage and began to walk away from the bus and around campground. The breeze was warm and the are so fresh. There were so many pine trees around letting off the scent of pine trees. Oliver lightly inhaled the fresh scent and air and then lightly exhaled. He always enjoyed the scent of pinecones since his mom would always make the family pine tree scented candles every year during the holidays, mainly Christmas for the most part. He kept walking until a voice shouted "LOOK OUT!" It caught the red fox off guard and as soon as he turned, SMACK! A boomerang at full speed wacked him on the side of his forehead really hard. He felt the spot pounding. A few campers gasped some of the other's jaws dropped and their eyes widened. It left a pretty bad mark that would slowly form into a bump later on but now, the pain was just starting. "Ow... My gosh.." Oliver groaned from all the pain from the boomerang. The boomerang had a tiny drop of blood on it due to how hard it hit the new camper's head. He could feel himself ready to pass out and slightly becoming dizzy. "Well nice going, Lazlo. Your stupid games caused your boomerang to injure a camper!!" A blonde platypus with pale sky blue eyes shouted at which seemed to be an orange brazillian spider monkey in a scout uniform who was frowning with guilt. He immediately rushed over to Oliver with two other campers that were a pale pink elephant and a yellow rhino. "Oh my gosh, are you okay?!" The pale pink elephant known as Raj panicked. "I'm so so sorry! I didn't mean for this to happen. We we're all playing catch with this new boomerang that we found and I must've not seen you there." Lazlo said trying to help the dizzy fox keep his balance. "So sorry!" The yellow rhino known as Clam repeated after Lazlo's apology. "No, no... don't apologize...it's not your fault.. really.. I should've been the one paying attention to where I was going.." Oliver said, being the forgiving boy he always had been. His vision was spinning more and more while it became slightly blurry. Soon he passed out and fainted.

Hours passed and Oliver slowly started to wake up. "Wh...where am I..?" He asked. "You're in the nurse's office." A pink shark in a pale blue nurse's uniform responded while making his way over on a topless spinny chair. He had a clipboard and pencil in his hands. "What happened..?" He asked not remembering that he fainted. "You fainted after a head injury from what I've been told was from a boomerang. These three bean scouts and Slinkman sent you here as soon after your head hit the ground. You're all bandaged up but you will need to rest for about a day or two or at least take it easy if you plan on ever participating in any camp activities and make sure to ice your head on the spot where you got hit until the swollen bump is completely. Luckily it isn't that bad at all, it's just a small rough bump so it shouldn't take that long to go away." Nurse Leslie explained. Oliver nodded keeping that in mind. "I'll go write you a pass and send a small freezer to go in your cabin so you can freeze the ice pack again when it starts to get warm." "Thank you, nurse.." Oliver said as Nurse Leslie nodded. The new beanscout looked over seeing the same three jellybeans sitting in the room frowning sadly still feeling bad from the incident with gifts like candy and an apology card and a stuffed dinosaur. "Hey, we're really sorry. We should've been paying attention.. While you were knocked out, we've taken the time to get you some gifts from uptown. Here, we want you to get better and share our cabin with us and we can try to unpack for you." Lazlo explained, still feeling terrible for the incident as well as the other two. "You have every right to be mad at us." "Get better." Clam walked up to Oliver, giving him the stuffed T-rex. Raj gave the little (now) beanscout A few chocolate bars and a little bag of marshmallows, and Lazlo gave m him the apology with a drawing of a sad face on it captioned. 'We're very sorry.' "Mad?? Why? I know you guys didn't mean it. So I have no point in taking out any of my anger on anyone. It's a waste of time just hurting others with such a selfish, negative attitude." Oliver responded. "So you're not mad at us after what just happened????" Raj asked and blinked, a little surprised. "No. Accidents happen all the time and I really appreciate the gifts but you guys didn't have to do all of this, although I really appreciate it. So thank you very much. You campers are very sweet." Oliver said taking the gifts, smiling lightly. "It was our pleasure." Lazlo smiled as well as Raj and Clam. "We haven't gotten to introduce ourselves. My name is Lazlo, and these are my best friends, Raj and Clam." Lazlo introduced. "Nice to meet you." Clam says to Oliver in a happy manner. "Nice to meet you three as well. The name's Oliver. As the nurse just said not that long ago." Oliver introduced himself. "Alright, Oliver, here you go. There's your pass and your ice pack. Take it easy and try not to get into any trouble." Nurse Leslie instructed as Oliver obeyed. He got off of the check up bed and took the items from the pink shark nurse and thanked him one last time before heading out with his luggage and the other three beanscouts following behind.
