forty two

Soul sat face to face with Gina as she helped her move the paddle as the duo laughed.

"Okay, so turn the paddle up towards the ceiling near the end." Soul said, helping the girl. "Do it over and over."

"Like that?" Gina asked, moving the paddle correctly.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Soul said, backing away, watching the girl move it on her own. "See you look just like a natural."

"I don't know about all that." Gina said, causing them both to chuckle.

"You just gotta make sure you commit to one side." Soul said, causing Gina to look at her confused. "Of the canoe, G. Or else you might just fall in but don't worry you'll be just fine."

"Thanks for being my last-minute Color War tutor." Gina said, smiling at her best friend. "Even though you've technically never participated in Color Wars either."

"Yeah, well, I've heard enough about it from EJ and Maddie to know the basics." Soul said, letting out a chuckle. "Besides, I still can't believe that you're bad at sports."

"Yeah, well you saw all the failed attempts." Gina said, causing them both to laugh, as Soul kept a light smile.

"Hey, G, could I ask you something?" Soul questioned, causing Gina to nod. "Do you like have feelings for Ricky?"

"What?" Gina questioned, looking at the girl surprised with the smile still on her face.

"Come on G." Soul said, giving the girl a look. "You guys have been basically stuck at the hip all summer. The way you guys look at eachother, it's obvious there's something there."

"Okay, maybe just maybe I might have slight feelings for Ricky..." Gina said, causing Soul to grin at the girl.

"Gina!" Soul exclaimed, hitting the girl's knee, causing Gina to giggle. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to make it weird. I mean you guys have history and I know that you said everything was over there and you are with Eej..." Gina said. "I just didn't want to somehow hurt your feelings and lose you."

"Gina, you could never lose me so get that thought out of your head." Soul said, grabbing the girl's hand, causing them both to chuckle. "And I already told you before, you don't need my permission to date Ricky and you don't need to tiptoe around me. There's nothing there anymore, we're just strictly friends from now on. I'm in a happy relationship. You should be happy too and if Ricky makes you happy, go for it."

"He does make me really happy." Gina said, nodding her head with a big grin, causing Soul to smile at the girl.

"Then I'm happy too." Soul said, nodding her head.

The sound of the barn door swinging open caught both of their attention, causing Soul to look over her shoulder before looking back towards Gina.

"Oh, uh... good morning and... ahoy?" EJ said, stopping in his tracks as Gina sent him a closed lip smile.

"Elton." Gina said.

"Do you mind if we just..." EJ said, pointing to himself and at Soul, causing Gina to nod.

"Yeah, sure." Gina said, squeezing Soul's hand as she sent her a supportive smile before quickly standing up from the canoe. "Good luck, sailors."

"Hey." EJ said, slipping into the seat, Gina was recently sitting as he sent his girlfriend a small smile.

"Hi." Soul said, sending him a smile in return.

"While I have you... can we start over?" EJ asked.

"I don't know, do we have time?" Soul asked.

"I made a phone call last night." EJ said, lightly grabbing the girl's hand as he messed with her fingers. "I'm taking some big steps to make sure the show is perfect so we can have the time and so I can stay in Salt Lake. A perfect show means that my dad sees that I'm great at something, and he doesn't send me off to leadership training. A perfect show is how I stay with you."

"Okay." Soul said, nodding her head, causing a smile to form on the boy's face. "How about we not talk about the future for a sec? Let's make today amazing."

"Were you practicing for the canoe relay?"
EJ questioned, looking from the canoe to the girl across from him. "'Cause Dewey just pulled the plug, somebody just puked in the pool."

"Good to know. I was actually teaching Gina." Soul said, sitting the paddle down on the ground. "She's like horrible at athletics."

"But she's a dancer." EJ said, sounding confused, lifting his eyebrow, causing the girl to chuckle.

"Yeah, well she's pretty bad at everything else." Soul said, causing them both to chuckle. "But honestly I just want to have fun today and a win wouldn't hurt."

"Then I'll try and make sure we're on the same team." EJ said, leaning towards the girl.

"I like that plan." Soul said, leaning in too, kissing her boyfriend.

"Okay, meet me at the amphitheater." EJ said after pulling away smiling at the girl, making his way out of the boat, heading towards the side door but quickly stopped, turning back to his girlfriend. "Oh, was anyone in here looking for me?"

"Uh, not that I know of." Soul said, shaking her head. "Are you expecting someone?"

"Nope. Nope." EJ said, looking around the room, making his way out the side door. "See you at the amphitheater, Skipper."

That caused Soul to let out a chuckle as the smile stayed on her face.

...

Everyone began gathering around the amphitheater as it was decorated in two different colors; Blue and Yellow.

"When I heard that the camp that's putting on Frozen for Disney Plus has a day that's emotionally similar to the 2006 to 2008 Disney Channel Games, I and the folks at the Mouse HQ jumped at the chance to include this in our docu-series." Corbin explained. "Dewey, you wanna explain the rules?"

"Uh... Yeah. Every camper is required to participate in a few challenges. There's two teams..." Dewey said, stepping up but was quickly cut off by Corbin.

"And within each team are teammates." Corbin said, taking the clipboard from Dewey. "Okay. you know her. You love her. The captain of the Yellow Team is Maddox."

"Not sure everyone loves me but thank you." Maddox said, making her way to the front as everyone clapped and cheered.

"Didn't say they all did." Corbin said. "And the captain of the blue team, the director of the show within the show. Some people call him Spaceship Man. It's EJ."

"Um. On my team, we have Ricky, Ashlyn and Gina..." EJ announced, causing everyone to clap as he locked eyes with his girlfriend as she sent him a smile. "And then Maddox's team has Kourtney, Carlos, Soul and Jet."

"Come on buddy." Soul said, placing her hand on Jet's back, sending him a supportive smile before making their way to their respective side as Soul stood between Jet and Maddox.

"Just so y'all know, I'm scrappy." Kourtney said, causing the other four to look over at the girl. "I fight dirty, and I will cheat."
"Hmm! So it's in the bag." Maddox said, causing Soul to nod.

"I'm also incredibly afraid of heights." Kourtney admits, causing their smiles to fade.

"That's okay. It's a plus, minus." Soul said, looking over at Maddox, causing her to nod.

"Guys, if you were on a deserted island and could text one person, who would it be?" Corbin questioned, walking between the two teams. "Your mom? Your ex? Your life coach? Tomorrow, the winning team can text whoever they want when they get back their phones!"

Dewey stood behind the group on stage talking about Camp Policy as everyone ignored him as they cheered about the news.

"Get your team colors from the bins." Corbin said, speaking to the camera. "I'm Corbin Bleu, and you're watching Disney Plus."

"I know we're on different teams, but have I ever told you that yellow was your color?" EJ said, causing the girl to turn around with a grin. "Sorry, I couldn't get us on the same team."

"It's okay. I kinda like being on the same team as Maddie and Jet. It reminds me of our childhood." Soul said, smiling at the boy. "Besides I kinda like being rivalries and I'll like it even better when I won't let you forget about us beating you, Caswell."

"Bring it on, Walker." EJ said, smirking down at the girl, before looking at his watch. "Oh, shoot. I got to go do something real quick but I'll see you out there."

"Good luck." Soul called after the boy, chuckling as she shook her head.

...

Soul was beyond surprised when Gina made the game winning shot in basketball and now it was time for some Simon Says or Dewey Says.

"Dewey says hop on one foot." Dewey spoke through a megaphone.

Soul did pretty good until she and Gina got booted when he said Simon instead of Dewey.

"Dewey says that is a great victory for the Yellow Team." Dewey announced as Jet and Maddox were the final two in, causing the others to cheer. "Dewey says get ready for the climbing wall next. We're having fun."

"Did he say 'climbing wall'?" Kourtney said, sounding scared, causing Soul to rub her back.

"Yeah. I'll meet you guys there." EJ said, going to leave again.

"Dude, where are you always going?" Ricky asked, causing EJ to stop as the Wildcats followed him.

"Getting everything ready for the show." EJ simply said.

"You can't do that at night?" Carlos questioned.

"Well, Miss Jenn thinks it's better to push..." EJ started but quickly stopped himself.

"What?!" The Wildcats exclaimed, causing the boy to let out a fake laugh as he smiled at the group.

Suddenly the group of Wildcats were sitting around the stage in the barn as their beloved theater teacher sat in the middle of the group as they all spoke at the same time.

"Wildcats!" Miss Jenn exclaimed, clapping her hands, causing everyone to go quiet.

"What are you doing here?" Carlos asked excitedly.

"EJ asked me for a couple of directing pointers and I had already been back from my Caribbean cruise for 15 minutes, so I drove her." Miss Jenn explained.

"Are you tired?" Ricky asked, sounding concerned.

"It's starting to hit me." Miss Jenn said, shaking herself before smiling at the group as she looked around at everyone. "Tell me about you. What is happening with the show?"

"Kourt and I got Elsa and Anna." Gina excitedly said, causing the three to share an excited scream.

"I got Olaf." Soul spoke from her spot beside Ashlyn, smiling at the drama teacher.

"I could imagine no other." Miss Jenn said, smiling at the girl.

"And I'm Kristoff, but maybe my dad already told you." Ricky said, causing her to nod.

"Oh, and remind me later, he sent me with an early birthday gift for you." Miss Jenn said before turning to the red headed girl sitting beside her. "Oh, and who are you playing, Ashlyn? Are you Anna and Elsa's long-lost sister who they discover on ancestry.com?"

"We're not allowed to add character." Ashlyn explained. "I checked. Several times. I'm actually in the ensemble with Carlos."

"A musical is a beautiful body. The ensemble is its sturdy backbone." Miss Jenn explained.

"Sorry, guys. We have to get back to the climbing wall or we're gonna forfeit the whole game." EJ explained.

"Miss Jenn, do you wanna come watch?" Gina excitedly asked.

"Oh, I don't have my theater glasses or athletic footwear." Miss Jenn said.

"Come on, Miss Jenn." Carlos said, approaching the teacher, holding his hand out with a smile. "Let's go to camp."

"Okay. Lead the way." Miss Jenn said, causing everyone to cheer as they all began heading out the barn. "Soul, honey, can I talk to you for a sec."

"Of course." Soul said, smiling at her teacher, causing the two to slow down as the others walked ahead.

"How has your summer been? How was LA?" Miss Jenn questioned, smiling from ear to ear, looking over at the teen.

"Good and good." Soul said, nodding her head as she smiled back at her. "I learned a lot this summer not just about music but myself."

"Yes! Nini showed me your EP on YouTube, breathtaking as always my dear." Miss Jenn said, smiling at her.

"Congratulations are in order for your first music video. I knew that song would do great. I would have texted you but reception in the middle of the sea isn't the best."

"Congratulations for what... exactly?" Soul asked, letting out a confused chuckle, lifting her eyebrow slightly.

"Wait, you don't know?" Miss Jenn asked, sounding surprised, stopping in her tracks, placing her hand on the girl's arm causing Soul to shake her head. "Soul, honey, you broke me first has over a million views already. It's trending!"

"Wait, really?" Soul asked, surprised, stopping her tracks as her eyes went wide, causing Miss Jenn to nod with a grin. "Oh my god!"

"This is something worth celebrating!" Miss Jenn said, excitedly.

"Yeah, of course!" Soul said, nodding her head with a smile. "One million views, seriously?"

"Soul!" Carlos called before either had the chance to say anything else, causing them both to giggle before quickly catching back up with the group at the rock walls.

"This is our final athletic competition before the big sing-off." Val said, jumping in front of the two teams. "We'll do a series of sprints mano-a-mano, and one player will prevail each time. Okay... Kourtney, Gina, you're up."

"Come on, Kourt!" Carlos cheered, causing the yellow team to clap and cheer.
Soul watched the girl look around frightened as she got the gear on, causing Soul to watch the girl sadly as she started feeling sympathetic towards her.

"Let's look alive, people!" EJ said, clapping his hands. "We're up next."

"Let's do this." Val said, excitedly.

"Everything okay?" Soul asked, stepping up beside Kourtney, taking a glance from her to the wall.

"Yeah, I actually just remembered the Idina Menzel mentioned on a podcast that Elsa's actually afraid of heights." Kourtney said, letting out a chuckle.

"Really? She lives in a tower." Carlos said, looking confused.

"Not now, Carlos." Kourtney spoke through her closed teeth.

"Kourtney, you don't have anything to prove through rock climbing." Soul said, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder, causing Kourtney to look back at the girl as she sent her a supportive smile.

"Come on." Val urged the girl as Gina waited by the wall, causing Kourtney to wordlessly walk towards the wall. "Three, two, one..."

Gina quickly began climbing up the wall as Kourtney stood still at the bottom.

"She is remarkably fast." Ashlyn said impressed as the Wildcats watched Gina quickly climb up to the flag.

"Great. Gina won. We're done. We're done." Kourtney cheered, quickly trying to unhook herself from the harness.

"But you have to at least try." Val said.

"Look, you all are amazing at these games without even trying." Kourtney said, stepping up as she took off her helmet. "If I were to try now in front of all of you, I wouldn't be able to control what happens."

"That's why we have to push through, even when it's hard." Val explained, causing everyone to start chanting Kourtney, causing Soul to notice how uncomfortable she became.

"Okay, Val, look. Not to be rude or anything," Soul said, stepping in between Kourtney and Val with her arms crossed, causing everyone to go quiet. "I know you may think you know how everyone feels and thinks because you're in school for Psych, but clearly you don't. Clearly she doesn't want to climb the stupid wall so maybe you should leave her alone. If she doesn't want to do it you're not going to force her to."

"Kourtney." Miss Jenn said, approaching the girl, lowly speaking to her. "If I can just say, I think you will climb the wall when you're ready."

"I'm not. I'm saying I'm not." Kourtney admitted, quickly, shaking her head, causing the teacher to pull her into a tight hug, before turning to face the group.

"Thanks, Soul." Kourtney said, looking over her shoulder, sending the girl a small smile.

"Always." Soul said, smiling at the girl, grabbing her hand, squeezing it in support.

"Well, I have got to get back on the road because I have a hard out at being up more than 40 hours in a row." Miss Jenn announced, walking away from the group but was stopped by EJ. "Jennifer out!"

...

Everyone was once again in the amphitheater but this time divided into their teams; blue on the left with yellow on the right.

"Okay, hi." Val said, stepping onto the stage, getting everyone's attention. "Um, it's a tie game, so the outcome of this cheer-off determines the fate of Color War. Okay. So this year, I have picked It's On from Camp Rock 2 and I printed out lyric sheets, but if you don't know the words, that means something went deeply wrong in your childhood and you didn't watch this iconic sequel. And as a reminder, when I stop singing, somebody has to take over... here we go!"

"America, I am so glad that the missing camper got rescued 'cause he just caused the Yellow Team to win Color War!" Corbin announced, causing the Yellow Team to cheer excitedly. "Whoo!"

"Guys we did it!" Soul said, excitedly approaching her cousins with a grin, wrapping her arms around their shoulders, causing them both to smile at the girl. "Jet, I haven't seen you have this much fun all summer."

"Hey! Don't tell anyone, but today wasn't the worst." Jet admitted, causing both girl's to smile at the boy as Maddox shook her head as she looked around at the other campers.

"Quite the turnaround, Jet." Maddox said, looking back at her brother with a small smile.

"We did it together, Maddie." Jet said, handing over the paddle to Maddox, causing Soul to let out a joking cough. "We all did it together. We got the win."

"Yeah. Yeah, we did." Maddox said, nodding her head.

"Of course we did!" Soul said, smiling at the duo. "You two on the same team, that's one unstoppable force."

"Yeah we are!" Jet said, happily fist bumping his cousin with a smile as he turned around to talk to some of the other campers.

"Soul!" Gina exclaimed, excitedly, causing Soul to turn as she was pulled into a big hug, causing Soul to chuckle as Ricky approached Maddox. "Congratulations!"

"Thanks! I'm surprised you guys didn't win just based on your basketball shot and rock climbing skills, Ms. Non athletic." Soul said, causing them both to chuckle. "But seriously you did amazing!"

"Aw, stop, you're making me blush." Gina jokingly said, causing them both to laugh.

"Hey," Soul said, causing Gina to lift her eyebrow as the smile never left Soul's face. "Could you help me with something?"
