I know this is a short chapter, but I didn't have much time, and I was tired. Don't worry! I'll have a longer chapter ready by Saturday 8/12/17

Russell's P.O.V.

It felt like forever, but tomorrow finally came. I don't think I've ever been so nervous to go to day camp, not even when I first came here. I walked into the daycare, noticing that I was the last one to arrive.

"Hey, Russell," Penny Ling welcomed," Blythe left for school just a minute ago. Too bad you missed her. She seemed almost sad that she didn't get to say, "good morning", to you."

"Really?" I questioned.

"Yeah. Once she realized that you hadn't arrived yet, her smile kind of faded away a little bit, but I gave her a big hug goodbye to make up for you."

"Oh, uh, thanks, Penny Ling."

"No problem."

Penny Ling gave her award-winning smile before making her way on over to watch Pepper's new comedy routine. The place wasn't quite so messy yet, so I couldn't clean while waiting for Blythe, and everyone seemed to be doing their own thing.

I guess I'm by myself, then.

By mid-afternoon, I was bored out of my mind! What is a hedgehog supposed to do around here? Vinnie was watching," Shake a Leg," so I couldn't watch my show. Pepper was working on her new routine with Penny Ling watching. Sunil was at it again with his magic, not really getting anywhere with it. Zoe was looking over herself in the mirror. Minka was painting away. I was left with my pillow.

"Lunch time!"

Ms. Twombly walked through the day camp door while carrying seven bowls filled with our own personalized lunch. The sound of the food bowls hitting the ground made my friends turn around and stop in their tracks. They all made their way over to where I was waiting for Ms. Twombly to lay down our food bowls. It wasn't long before all the bowls were once again empty. I had taken my time, trying to make the most out of lunch time while waiting for Blythe. After a nice lunch, I had gotten sleepy, and I decided to crawl into the fire hydrant and sleep to pass the time.

"Hey, pets!"

I heard the scurry of paws running towards to day camp door. I also heard the sound of Blythe's voice. Oh, Blythe! I had started getting up slowly but decided to rush out of the fire hydrant instead, causing me to go dizzy from the fast movement.

"Hey, Russell!" I heard Blythe say before I passed out from the fast actions that I had took to get up.

I woke up once again, but I could tell I wasn't on the floor. No, I was in Blythe's hands. I guess I had curled into a ball because I couldn't see anything around me. I slowly uncurled myself and saw the relief on Blythe's face when she saw I was alright.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I guess you got up too fast because you had passed out for a minute or two," Blythe responded.

"Reall- Ow!"

I raised my paw up to my head, and I felt my forehead heating up.

"Are you okay, Russell?" Zoe asked, concerned.

"I don't know."

"Here, come with me," Blythe said," Let's go figure this out up in my room where it's a little quieter."

"Sure," I complied.

Blythe carried me over to the dumbwaiter before placing me in her lap as she pulled us up to her room.
