Chapter 24
“What in God’s name is going on in here?” Phoenix gasped from the doorway.
“The boys from Oak cabin paid us a visit while we were in town.” Dani explained coming up behind her. “Katie got rid of the snake that was in the bathroom.”
“There was a snake in the bathroom?” Phoenix shuddered.
“It was disgusting.” Rachel joined the counselor in her discomfort. “it was all slimy and slithering, and flicking it’s tongue at me….”
“That’s enough!” Phoenix clamped her hands over her ears. “What all did they do?” she removed her hands.
“They attempted to get us to spill a bucket of water when we opened the door.” Dani volunteered. “Rachel suspected something and boosted me through the window to remove it.”
“The water was supposed to spill across the talc.” Rachel picked up the tale. “It makes a slurry and is difficult to clean. The snake in the bathroom, and they left their underwear in place of our panties.”
“So what do you have planned to get even?” Phoenix asked.
“I thought you didn’t want to know.” Rachel looked puzzled.
“You’re right, I don’t….. but they put a snake in the bathroom.” Phoenix shuddered again. “I hate snakes.”
“There’s still a snake in the cabin.” Victoria muttered under her breath. Erika paled to another shade of white.
“Stop it.” Samantha mouthed to Victoria, throwing a flip-flop at her.
“We’ll have to work on it and get them later, ladies.” Phoenix sighed. “We need to get to arts and crafts.”
Erika could hardly concentrate on the leather mug she was making. Her thoughts were racing about. Victoria had stated an ultimatum. She had one week to inform the girls or Victoria would be outing her. That was just her immediate fear. The other was of what Victoria could do to her at school. She was the editor of the school newspaper for God’s sake. Every time she looked up; Victoria was giving her strange looks. Looks of accusation, looks of disgust, looks of bewilderment. Would the entire last part of her camping be filled with Victoria’s accusing eyes?
Samantha sitting at the craft table next to her, patted Erika’s knee. “It will be fine. Stop worrying about her.”
“Easy for you to say.” Erika muttered. “You don’t have the editor of the school paper, wanting to rat you out.”
“I’m in this just as much as you are.” Samantha defended. “We just have to prove to her that you are one of the girls.”
“I don’t even know if I am.” Erika argued.
“You’ve made more friends in the past week than you have in a whole year at school.” Samantha pointed out. “You’ve also had more fun in the past week than you have had in a few years.”
“And some of the worst times I have had as well.” Erika scowled.
“Have you been stuffed into a garbage can?” Samantha asked. “Have you been spit on, tripped, thrown face down into mud puddles?”
“No.” Erika confirmed.
“What’s the worst thing that has happened to you this last week?” Samantha leaned forward and made Erika meet her gaze.
“I got kissed by a boy.” Erika responded sheepishly.
“You were kissed by a boy.” Samantha repeated in a whisper. “That kinda beats being finding ‘kick me’ signs on your back doesn’t it?”
A silence fell between the two of them.
“I don’t know.” Erika shrugged. “I’m used to the ‘kick me’ signs. I’m not used to being kissed by guys.”
“But he was really cute.”
“To you, maybe.” Erika grimaced. “I’m not attracted to guys.”
“Not yet.” Samantha again patted her leg. “Not yet.”
“Hello…. Not ever.” Erika made a gagging gesture.
“All right, Columbine. That’s enough for today.” Amber announced. “Let’s put your mugs over here to finish tomorrow. You all did a great job.”
“Victoria, what’s on the calendar now?” Rachel inquired.
Victoria looked thoughtful for a moment. ”I believe it’s lake time.”
Phoenix pulled her schedule out of her pocket. “Yep. We have two hours at the lake. Let’s head back to the cabin and put our swimsuits on.”
“Phoenix?” Rachel called as they made their way back to the cabin.
“Yeah?”
“Could we duck out of swimming today and re-pay Oak cabin?”
“I don’t know….” Phoenix put off.
“They put a snake in our bathroom.” Rachel reminded the counselor.
“Okay, but nothing that can destroy property.” Phoenix stated sternly. “Rules are Rules, oh, and I don’t know anything about it.” She added with a wink.
“Victoria, could you help me?” Rachel asked.
“With what?” Victoria looked startled. Her mind was elsewhere.
“We’re going to the kitchen to get some supplies.” Rachel grinned mischievously. “Dani, you and the others, dig out the duct tape, fishing line and superglue that we bought today. ”
Erika found herself back in the cabin with the others, trying to figure out all of the ways possible that they could get even with the boys from Oak.
“How hard can this possibly be?” Samantha asked the other girls.
“About As Easy as Falling Off a Bike.” Dani winked.
“Okay, we got the salt and some flour from the mess.” Rachel and Victoria joined them. Victoria had a stack of paper cups “Now let’s figure out what we’re going to do.”
Erika soon found out how seriously Rachel and Dani took pranks. The Columbine girls all snuck into Oak Cabin, with an idea. Once inside, Rachel and Dani set about directing the others on things to do.
“How long should I make this line.” Krystal asked, threading fishing line through a needle.
“Make it long.” Dani instructed. We can always cut it down if we need to.”
Katie, and Erika went to work opening the guys drawers and pulling one sock from each pair. They tossed them as quickly as they could into a pile next to Krystal, who started inserting the needle through the toes of each one, looping the fishing line through like a blanket stitch and adding another.
Victoria found all of the toothbrushes on the counter in the bathroom. She poured a pile of salt on to the counter and began loading the bristles of the brushes with the salt.
While the others were doing that, Rachel began making small piles of flour all across the floor, while Samantha began filling cup after cup of water.
“So what is it you’re doing with the flour and water?” Katie inquired.
“Setting them up like dominos. So, when they open the door, one cup will tip over then the next cup, then the next and so on. The water from the cups will mix in with the flour and create almost a glue like substance.” Rachel explained. “It’s a lot harder to clean up than talc mixed with water. Besides, it has a little more style than just a bucket of water.” She grinned. “I call it Accidental Magic.” She winked at Katie.
“Found some Icy Hot in the bathroom.” Victoria called.
“Awesome.” Rachel called back. When you’re done with the toothbrushes, smear some of the Icy Hot around the toilet seat.”
“That’s the last of the socks.” Erika closed the last drawer. “And I found our panties. Should we take them back? Or leave them as a warning?”
“Leave them as a signature.” Dani piped up.
“If we leave them where we found them, it may confuse them as to which cabin is doing this. If we take them back or sign the cabin with them, they will know exactly who did this.” Rachel voiced.
The girls were silent while they thought this over. “Let’s leave them for now.” Erika broke the silence. “We can always gather them when we do the next prank.”
“I like that.” Rachel smiled. “Any one disagree? Now’s your chance to speak up.”
“I like it.” Samantha agreed with Erika.
“Let’s keep then guessing.” Krystal nodded.
“Leave them.” Katie stated.
“Erika, take the superglue and put some dabs of it along the bottom of the window sash. Let’s keep them from opening the windows.” Dani looked up from tying shoes together by their shoe laces.
“Keep one window open and the super glue next to it.” Rachel called “I want a way out of here.”
“Man, Boy’s feet stink.” Krystal complained, wrinkling her nose in disgust. “Why do they have to stink so bad.”
“Ask Erika.” Victoria muttered from the bathroom.
“huh?” Rachel asked.
“Nothing.” Victoria replied.
“Katie, could you pull the blankets and top sheet open for me?” Rachel asked. She followed behind Katie and sprinkled flour inside their bed sheets then re-made the beds.
“Bathroom is taken care of.” Victoria entered the main room of the cabin.
“Can you help re-make the beds?” Rachel asked. “Krystal how is the sock puzzle coming?”
Krystal held up a string of socks all sewn together. “I’m stitching the last one now.” She smiled.
“After you tie off the knot, start tying the socks into knots with one another as well as the string of them in knots.” Rachel instructed.
“Where should we put the shoes?” Dani asked aloud. “Should we hang them from the ceiling like garland? Or shall we tie them to and around the bed posts?”
“Duct tape them to the ceiling above the toilet.” Victoria offered.
“Katie, can you do that?” Rachel asked. “We need to finish up here quick and get out of here.” Rachel warned. “You never know if they might come back early. If you’re done with your tasks start cleaning up our mess and then start lining the cups of water up.”
A few minutes later, Rachel was setting the final cups into place. The other girls stood by the open window, ready to make their escape and watching the master prankster at work. Rachel looked from the door to the first few cups. She then went down the line, eyeballing each cup’s distance from the other. “Alright, let’s get out of here.” She made her way to the window.
The rest of the girls scampered out of the open window and headed into the bushes. Katie waited behind. As soon as Rachel made it out, she put a few dots of super-glue on the window then closed it.
“Hurry up, Katie! I think they’re coming.” Dani called from cover of the bushes.
The long-legged girl ran and leapt like a gazelle over and around shrubs to join her cabin mates in the trees.
“Should we stay around to hear how they react?” Dani giggled.
“I think I want to be as far away from here as possible.” Rachel raised her eyebrows.
“Come on, Rachel, don’t you want to listen to them?” Dani protested.
Come on Dani, get off the Nostalgia Train. We did our jobs and we will be hearing it at dinner tonight.” Rachel winked at the short blonde. She turned to the rest of the cabin mates. “Let’s get out of here before they come looking for us.”
“Oh Shit! Shit! Shit! Mother F*****g Shit!” a guy’s voice could be heard from the cabin.

Subtle Advertisiment
Don't think we didn't spot that *wink*
I like the revenge chapter.
With the Victoria thing however, something tells me that is gonna get out, all the girls are going to freak a bit, its gonna get explained, and then they'll all just sorta accept it, while Vicky just sulks off into the corner and is like "I can't believe you are all okay with this!"
You know...thanks to her
You know...thanks to her recent shopping trip Ericka can utterly mess with Victoria's mind and avoid getting caught at the same time...which might just make Victoria mellow out a bit more. On the other hand...if Ericka were found with the accouterments then things might turn. And hey...if the girls do find out, my guess is Victoria might be surprised by their reactions.

We are the change that will save the world.
I like the way you think :)
Heather is right. Things could definately be arranged into Erika's favor, especially if she decides to tell some of the girls individually, and use that to manipulate events. I know that doesn't sound much like Erika, but it sounds a bit to me like the way Samantha currently manages situations.
Another great chapter Anastasia... I will keep my comments short as you know my feelings about your writings.

Pranks R Us
Yow! Do summer campers really pull such pranks? I never went to summer camp so I don't know. Those pranks seem rather cruel. Huh.
And yes, I noticed the references to other stories. I remember seeing 3. Anyone count more than that?
Thanks for another good chapter, even if I was shocked a little by the pranks. :)
- Terry
I think I'm glad
I didn't go to summer camp, flour in the bed! It'll be itching powder in the panties next! Ugggggggghhhhhhhh! When's the next episode?

Angharad
That's funny
With all the girls itching crotches, Eric would be safe due to his gaff and have to fake it..so to speak..:D
Huggles!!

Nice one AA
It's a fine story you are telling here.
I dread to think where this will be heading (wink)...
NB
Just dropping in a note..
..to tell you that I'm still reading and enjoying the adventures of Erika & Co. I also had to smile seeing the references to other stories. I'm not sure I found them all, so perhaps I should read the chapter again when I have a bit more time.
Hugs,
Kimby

Kimby
yay!
Very cute -- all the references to stories here.
I'm glad Erika's not flipping out at being discovered.
The pranks are pretty elaborate, but pranking is something that just escalates...
Alpha-Plus Chapter, AA…
“Revenge,†they say, “is Sweet.†It seems that the flowers of Columbine have out-smarted the wooden-tops of Oak cabin. Girl Power Rules! Serves the boys right and shows them that we girls do things much better than they do. Will the boys try to get their own back? Not if they're sensible, but we all know where teenage boys' brains are located!
The Victoria Threat is an obvious worry to Erika, but as I commented after Chapter 23, she does have breast forms and a gaffe now, and that is bound to cause some confusion in Victoria's mind when she next sees Erika in a bathing costume, or in her bra and panties.
I found references to four other BC stories; very clever.
I can hardly wait for the next chapter, AA. This is one of my favourite stories.
Hugs

Summer Camp Pranks, some are fun, some are not.
Hello A.A. ^___^ ;-D
Ah.... the time for those wild stories to come out wheter true or not true. I do not like to dish it out, but I have been on the recieving part of them, personally and collectivily. There was one Boy Scout summer camp season I remember well. I was on staff that year. We had all the tents set up a week prior to starting. We went to some sites to check up on them. We found one site with all the tents sliced and cut into pieces. I did my best in sewing them up to be somewhat useful until they were replaced. Some local people from a nearby town snuck in and did the damage. Of course it takes a sick sense of humor to do that kind of stunt. There will be pranks, but you hope only egos will be bruised and no physical abuse wlll happen. While walking back one day with other staffers we headed back to the truck, they hopped in the back. Just as I put my hand on the tailgate the driver took off and left me, he drove down the trail for about 50 yards and stopped. I ran up to the truck, as soon as I reached it again, they took off again, and all were laughing. They did this one more time. This time I dove into on the truck bed and made it. If he had driven off again, I would have turned around and walked back via the trail. I was even nicked named turkey-butt by the way I walked down the trail.
People can be cruel, thinking it is a joke, but it is not. It bruise one's own self worth and feelings. You want nothing to do with them.
Hopefully Victoria will see the errors of her ways and apologizes to Erik(a) eventually. But, hey we are into the second week of summer camp. The fun is just starting. Will the Oak Cabin boys want revenge after this one? Or will the camp director put an end to it, but she knows it will be tough to stop it.
Well take care. Waiting for the next chapter!!!
Rachel
getting the boys back
almost makes me glad I went to a Christian camp that did not tolerate pranks
