"Sorry," Bade sighed. "I'm not exactly sure how to help, though...Russell, will you stop that? It's getting on my nerves." Russell had been cooing over James, smiling and constantly making weird noises to amuse the baby.

Russell looked up at Bade. "What did I do?"

"The noises and the faces. You're starting to creep me out." Bade pursed his lips. This might be difficult. I have absolutely no idea what to do now that I'm a father.

Charlotte frowned, "Not your fault. Still recovering from childbirth." she shuddered. Oh, the pain. She added quickly, "Right, I'm going to go see my cabin-mates,"

Josh frowned, "So, we have a new girl replacing Jessica. Her name is Charlotte. Aparently she has a baby with her.." 

Bade sighed, then nodded, running a hand through his hair. "I'm going to town, Charlotte." he said, looking down. "Unless I get caught, but you know..." He chuckled.

"How many times have you gotten caught, Bade?" Russell asked, looking up at him.

"'Bout four times." Bade replied. "Three of those four times, I was right on the edge of the camp grounds. The last time, I just walked towards the edge and I got yelled at." He chuckled, shaking his head.

Bade stared straight ahead, blinking. "Wow," he breathed, still stunned.

"Gah. Now he's not coming. Let's go, Russell!" Mell grabbed Russell's arm and began dragging him away.

"Wait, wait! I only wanted to go because Bade was going!" Russell pulled out of Mell's grasp, gasping. "Please stop touching me." he said, dodging her hand when she tried to grab his arm again. "It freaks me out."

"Doesn't freak you out when I touch you." Bade mumbled, poking Russell's back as he walked back towards his own cabin. Doesn't she want to stay with me? he asked himself in his head, watching the ground. I guess she only came back because of James.

( It could be all that's messed up in his head that's making him think things, but... o3o I dunno. What's up with Charlotte? )

(( You'll see. >:D ))

Josh unlocked the cabin door, and waited for Alice to walk in before he went in himself. He flopped onto his bed. "Now we wait.."

_____

He wasn't waiting long. Charlotte poked her head in the cabin. "Erm..Hi. I'm Charlotte.."

( Nyaa. o3o What am I supposed to do? )

Bade sat down on his bed, sighing. "Damn." he said, loudly. "I was waiting for her to come back, but I wasn't expecting her to be different." He gritted his teeth. "She's not the same anymore." He laid down on his bed, sighing again.
