Signs Of The Moon

Are We Unified?

"Come on Brooke!" Addison yelled, throwing a pillow over at the girl. "We're going to be late. And you know how Bucky is."

"Don't remind me." Brooke laughed, dodging the pillow as she finished tying the bow into her hair. It was loose, hanging down with the raven black hair, free. That's how she wanted to feel. She quickly checked over her shoes to make sure they were tied, before following Addison and Bree out of their room and quickly down to the field to begin their cheer camp.

Brooke grinned as she saw zombies and humans alike. Integration, that's what they needed. Humans and zombies together as one. There was nothing to be afraid of. Brooke realized she was beginning to think a lot like Eliza. She had been hanging out with the girl too much. She high-fives Bonzo as they slid into the group of newbies. The new crew consisted of mostly the zombies that had been invited to cheer, such as Bonzo or Nakia, and the new cheer leaders that were invited last year, like Bree, Addison, and Brooke.

"Welcome to Cheer Camp! A week-long camp at the end of summer, to bring our pep back just in time for school." Bucky introduced them, grinning from ear to ear, his pep contagious. The crowd settled down to listen to him. "Now, you've all heard the stories of bloodthirsty monsters who roam these woods, feasting on innocent cheerleaders.

"Boo!" Brooke jumped when Stacy and Lacey jumped at the three girls. Addison had jumped, but she knew Brooke had been on edge recently, after the attack. Bucky looked over at his sister, raising an eyebrow. She blushed and looked down. Addison sighed and touched Brooke's shoulder to reassure her. Everything was okay.

Bucky cleared his throat, "Well, those stories are just silly make believe. But you'd better believe we're going to break you down and build you back up into peppy little cheer machines!"

Brooke listened to her brother, but her mind kept wandering back to the monster that saved her yesterday. For those stories to be around Seabrook since they were younger, they didn't seem true. She had been told, time and time again, that monsters were dangerous. They weren't to be trusted.

But one had saved her, against its own kind, and let her go. She couldn't believe monsters were. . . well.. monsters, if that had happened.

"Brooke! Brooke!" Brooke's trance was broken as Bree shook her, bringing her back to where they were. Right, right, cheer camp. Bucky was glaring at her. "As I was saying. Addison, Bree, Brooke, you take the newbies. You're the, uh, you're. . .the Z-team." Bucky announced, looking over that them. Brooke chuckled, rolling her eyes. They had this.

"Zombies, this is obviously your first cheer camp. Now, I'm not anti-change, I'm just pro keeping things the way they are, because you don't mess with success. This week, the veterans and the newbies will compete for the Cheer Camp Cup to see who is more cheertastic!" Brooke chuckled. This would be fun. She knew the newbies could do it. They would win this year.

"Every year, the veterans win. Right Acey's?"

"Right!" The three cheered. Brooke and Addison both rolled their eyes, before Addison stepped up. "We'll see about that." She said, crossing her arms with Bree and Brooke backing her up. Bucky chuckled. "To the cheer course!" He exclaimed.
