The news & a whole lotta new mess
K-unit entered the sergeant's hut and stood straight to attention.
"At ease soldiers" the sergeant said with an annoyed tone. He had crossed arms and was slouching in his seat with piles of timetables and maps of the grounds spread out around him, on the floor and table. "We have another agent coming tomorrow to join your unit in training." He sighed. "Here's your new timetable" he then pulled out 8 sheets of paper (7 timetables for the unit and 1 for the kids) from the bottom of the mess and handed them to the unit "and your new hut is hut 25, Y-unit are moving into your hut and the kiddos are moving to huts 85, 86 and 87." The sergeant then rubbed his eyes with his pointy finger and thumb and held his head down like that for a minute thinking if there was anything else. "Oh and some more kids are arriving tomorrow with the agent. Dismissed" and with that he plonked his head down on the desk.
The unit looked at each other and slowly walked out of the hut. "I've never seen him so tired. Why?" Eagle thought out loud.
"If you used your eyes, you woulda noticed the piles of paper around him. They were ground maps and timetables. He clearly had to change them all around just because of this agent." Alex said in response.
*two mins later*
They arrived at the visitors huts fairly quickly and gathered up the whining teens and practically dragged them to their new huts and ran off to hut 11 to gather their own stuff ready to move without giving an explanation to the youngsters, who were left standing outside the new huts they were to stay at.
Once they saw their instructor unit coming back, Fiona asked "What is going on?"
"There is an MI6 agent arriving tomorrow. We've had to move huts and change timetables to fit them in" Fox explained quickly. Everyone sighed and trudged into their respective huts.
Inside hut 25, an argument started.
Normally Alex would go off into the forest and sleep the night there with a sleeping bag in a sturdy tree. It was a nice big oak one that had strong branches all the way up. On his 2nd day after he saw Kaeda with the wound on the stretcher, he managed to climb up to the top and looked down at the view with the sun just about setting over the tops of the trees. He thought of how quick light travels and used physics to work out that the sun had already set about an hour before but because of light travelling it gave the effect that the sun was setting right then. Then Alex thought about Kaeda and that brought back tonnes of memories from when he himself had been the one on the stretcher. He had at the point held a hand up to just above his heart and winced at the memory. He slept further down the tree about 10metres off the ground in a sleeping bad that was tightly packed in his black bag. Then in the early morning he climbed down and snuck into his unit's hut and into his selected bed that was positioned furthest from the door but just left to a window big enough for him to fit through. It gave his some sense of security.
But tonight, the unit were arguing on which bed is who's. Alex and Ben (fox) had run in and taken the beds directly under the two windows in the hut which were unluckily far away from the door, the first thing you saw when you entered the hut was a table and set of chairs. At the back of the room were the beds.
The argument was over who had which bed and stupidly, who gets which chair.
In the end:
Alex got bed 1 and stool 2. He was pleased about the bed but not about the stoolBen (fox) got bed 2 and stool 1. He was as pleased as Alex
Wolf was happy with bed 4 and stool 3
Eagle was on the verge of crying, he got bed 6 (he didnt seem to mind that, it was his stool that bothered him) he got stool 5 and claimed he wanted to see who it was coming in. After about 7minutes of whining, the group had to come up with ideas to get him happy with his stool. One of which was he was closest to the door so he could escape easily and if there was a person at the door, he would be allowed to greet them first (Eagle liked this fact)
Snake got bed 3 and stool 7 and was the happiest of the lot, beaming a massive smile.
X-ray got bed 5 after a whole lot of complaining but was actually the most civilised out of the lot and also gained stool 4 which he hated.
They just hoped that the agent would be happy with bed 7 and stool 6 otherwise they would have to change again.
The last few nights, the unit always tried to get Fox to tell everyone about his 'adventures' at MI6 but always failed so tonight, they were at Alex.
Reminder: don't let that crown slip
