“Oh.” Lara ducked her head with an embarrassed grin.
“Ah, you forget the particular charm of our Alice,” Tina interjected with a friendly nudge.
Not quite, Lara thought, her grin widening. Before she could respond aloud, Alex addressed the gathered crowd.
“Good morning, folks. Hope you all slept well, and are ready to get started today!” A general rumbling of agreement met her greeting. “I heard from many of you last night who have very fond memories of summer camp. We certainly hope to contribute to those memories, and in the spirit of old school summer camp competitions we’ve divided you into three smaller groups, which are denoted by the color of your name tags. Since this is Raven’s Retreat, we use bird species to differentiate our campers. So, those of you with blue name tags are the Mighty Mockingbirds, those with green name tags are the Bodacious Buzzards and those with the red name tags are the Powerful Puffins.”
“She’s kidding right?” Shane groaned gazing at their red name tags.
“Unfortunately, no. She’s really into the cheesy retro camp throwbacks,” Lara whispered with a sympathetic smile.
“So, today’s activities will start at 9:15 with the Mockingbirds at the Activity Barn with Sandy, the Buzzards down by the ropes course with Brent and the Puffins at the Athletic Field with Jonathan. As always, if you have any questions, let me or someone else with a white name tag know.”
“Puffins? Aren’t those the little floating birds?” Alice asked, then pointed quickly at Tina and Bette who both looked as though they were about to launch into a lecture regarding the habitats of the sea-faring cuties. “A simple yes or no suffices.”
Tina stuck her tongue out at Alice while Bette answered curtly, “Yes.” Then muttered under her breath, “They spend the first several years of their lives completely at sea, then return to the place of their birth for breeding, forming a long term bond with another and they’re really, really adorable.”
Lara giggled despite herself, and suffered a good-humored glare from Alice. “Don’t encourage them. You don’t have to live with them.”
Lara immediately sobered at the thought, that no matter how much she was enjoying the company of her friends…and more specifically the nearness of Alice..it was true…she didn’t have to live with them. And in one short week, they would be gone again.

Awwright, update! Wait, who are you and how do you know my name? haha, just kidding. Good to read from you again! I happened to check here tonight and you happened to have posted so basically, we rule. Naw, all the other commenters/readers do too, I like reading what everyone has to say about this sweet fic. Aw, three weeks? Dang! But thanks for the heads-up, and I hope work is the good kind of busy. OK, love the chappy. Particularly the pronomial ambiguity we find in the last sentences. Does the possessive ‘her’ as in ‘her eyes’ index Papi or Alice? Is the ‘she’ as in ‘she froze’ a cohesive tie to dear Alice, or to that sneaky Papi? Now, the lexical item ‘yo’ leans towards Papi but…I don’t know for sure and I LOVE it. just thought I’d geek out and ask, because it makes for quite the cliff-hanger. Your grits inclusion was well-researched, too. Of course Lara would know all that;) And I can’t get over how clever the setting of adult summer camp is, seeing as how we are in the throes of fun-in-the-sun season. Looking forward to seeing how Lace misunderstandings continue to churn up the tension. Keep up the delicious-ocity and see you next post!
Ah, Lara. How I’ve missed Miss Perkins throughout season 4. I have a feeling the hilarity of Alice and Lara in sumo costumes won’t be all fun and games. Please, please, please post soon.
Hey Gold! Sorry I’m so late reading this chapter, but I just had to post to say I loved it as usual. Alice’s bleary-eyed, cranky wake up was hilarious… I could picture her doing exactly that on the show (I’m loving the Shane-Alice interactions in this story, by the way – you’ve really captured their chemistry). I’m excited to see what happens with the sumo wrestling in the next chapter – anything that involves full body contact (setting aside the layers of foam in the sumo costumes, of course!) between Lara and Alice is definitely ok in my books. :) And, I too enjoyed the grits research – I now have a strange desire to try some! Anyway, thanks for another great update!
Well I guess its true, th more you wait the better it gets. Loved the update but wish you would update more often. I miss Lara terribly so I love your story. Oh and can Sandy just go away please? ^_^
Despite Alex saying they used bird species to group the campers, I *still* read that as “Powerpuff” at first. I guess Alice’s hairdo could classify her as Bubbles… Right, anyway. Sumo wrestling! That is gonna be a hoot. I hope they don’t get too serious (although, I’d *love* to see Bette wallop Jenny). And after that, Al and Lara have a whole week, right? That’s plenty of time. The three weeks between chapters is gonna seem like forever, though. Ah well, I’ll be waiting. Brilliant as usual, Gold. Thanks for the post.
And by “soon” I’m holding you to three weeks. “At least three weeks” isn’t much help – Anything more and I’m going to have major withdrawal issues. But, that’s for another time. Tight now it’s hours later, and this chapter, ‘filler’ as you may call it to be, is still a great read.
I can’t explain how happy I was to see this update. I absolutely looooove this story, you’re doing an excellent job. Can’t wait for the next installment.
hey!! i read this chapter a copple of dasy before, but there was no time, to leave a comment till now. i really enjoyed this chapter. the end is a perfect cliffhanger and make me wish that i could read moore at this moment. so i hope the next two weeks will pass fast ;-)hug, naren
