DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN CAMP LAZLO, JOE MURRAY DOES. BUT IF I DID OWN CAMP LAZLO, THEN IT WOULD PROABABLY BE LESS FUNNY THAN WHAT MURRAY WOULD HAVE IMAGINED. UGH, I HATE HAVING TO WRITE THIS PART ON EVERY STORY I DO. I'D ASK SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT FOR ME, BUT I'M JUST REALLY LAZY. SERIOUSLY, I EVEN ARGUED WITH MYSELF OVER TYPING THIS PART, AND I LOST. ANYWAY, ENJOY THE STORY.

CHAPTER ONE: "WHAT TIME SHOULD WE MEET?"

On one sunny afternoon at a piece of nature gone wild, better known as Leaky Lake, both Bean and Squirrel Scouts of Camp Kidney and Acorn Flats were walking away from the small, outdoor theatre near Camp Kidney. Above the stage was a large banner that read, "Annual Onion Appreciation Day Arm Wrestling Tournament."

It appears as if the medal ceremony has just concluded, as two Bean Scouts (A Brazilian spider monkey named Lazlo, and a white feathered platypus named Edward) along with one Squirrel Scout (A green skinned alligator named Gretchen) each had a medal around their neck. Gretchen came out on top as the winner of the gold medal, just like the last two years' contests, with Edward wearing the silver medal, and Lazlo wearing the bronze medal. Speaking of Lazlo, he was walking alongside his two best friends, an Indian Elephant named Raj and an Albino Pygmy Rhino named Clam, as they and every other scout made their way to the after-competition buffet table.

"Wow, that sure was one heck of a competition wasn't it guys?" Lazlo asked his comrades. Clam yelled, "One to remember!" "Yes, it certainly will be one to remember;" Raj stated, "Who know that Edward's arm could bend that way?" Lazlo chuckled a bit then said, "Yeah and that high pitched scream he did while doing that was really cool. He's very talented."

The three Beans, whom were better known by pretty much everyone as "The Jellies," finally made it to the buffet area, where every scout was already grabbing something to eat. "Clam go back to cabin. Not hungry." Clam said. Both Lazlo and Raj were pretty startled by this, it's certainly something they never expect from Clam when he's in front of food. Clam saw this and explained very briefly, "Already ate."

Back in the Scoutmaster's cabin, Scoutmaster Lumpus the moose went into his office, sighed, and then said, "Finally, those miscreants are done with their stupid competition." He walked over to his closet, opened it, and pulled out a box about as big as a TV. On the side of it read "Salsa Chips." "Now, I can finally enjoy my delighted chips in peace." He opened the box and saw that it was empty, not a sing chip remained. Lumpus screamed in agony of what he saw.

Meanwhile, Clam brushed his fingers off from what appeared to be salt and started to head back to the cabin. Lazlo and Raj just decided to shrug it off and walked over to the tables to join everyone else.

Several minutes later, everyone was just sitting at their tables, eating, talking with their friends, just doing their own thing. Lazlo was just in the middle of telling Raj about the time they, along with Clam, played that game of "Haunted Mansion" in their cabin; that is, until they were interrupted by a girl's voice that said into the air, "Hey Lazlo." They knew whose voice that was, they turned and saw a pink haired and brown furred Squirrel Scout who goes by the name Patsy Smiles. She sat down next to Lazlo and smiled in a very flirty way, something Lazlo was pretty oblivious to. Raj just turned away, he wasn't exactly the kind of elephant boy who likes to talk to girls that much. Lazlo on the other hand, while he didn't really grasp the concept of "love" and "romance," was still a very friendly monkey, and decided to have a conversation with the mongoose.

"Oh hi Patsy. What brings you over to this table?" Patsy replied, "Oh I just wanted to say congrats on getting third place!" Lazlo smirked at her, she then said, "Speaking of that, I was kind of wondering…maybe we can… I mean, if you want to…" Lazlo looked at her curiously, "Yes…" Patsy finally said, "Would you like to go to Prickly Pines with me later on and celebrate?"

Everyone else stopped right in the middle of whatever it was that they were doing, looked over at the table Lazlo, Patsy, and Raj were sitting at and gave a collective gasp. They knew this kind of situation first hand, when she asked Lazlo if he would sit next to her on the way back to camp after going on that failed trip to Old Geezer Geyser.

Raj had a bit of a shocked look on his face at first, but since he was still turning away from the two scouts, he put a little smile on his face and thought to himself, "Easy Raj, we've all been through this before. I am absolutely certain that Lazlo wouldn't make the same mistake twice in a-"

"That sounds great Patsy! What time should we meet?" Lazlo said. This caused an uproar amongst the other scouts, save Raj whom had a face that looked as if he just ate a lemon that was loaded with sour candy. Every other scout screamed and panicked. Soon enough they started to run around like a bunch of wild, crazy individuals. The Bean Scouts ran as fast as they could to their cabins, while the Squirrel Scouts ran to the dock to get into their small cruise boat, either way, both groups were terrified.

Despite all of this commotion, Lazlo and Patsy were either both very oblivious to what just happened, or they both have a serious hearing problem. Patsy finally said, "Fantastic! I'll swing by at around, oh say… 5:30 and we'll go into town." "See ya then." Lazlo said as she left to join the other Squirrels.

Lazlo waved her good-bye and looked back at Raj, he finally noticed that Raj had a shocked face and asked, "Hey, are you alright Raj?" Raj finally regained his composure and managed to say, "Lazlo, have you no idea of what you just did?!" Lazlo was quite confused at what he just said. "Whaddya mean?" Raj was irritated at Lazlo now, "Patsy just asked you to go on a…date with her and you said 'yes!'" Lazlo thought about it for a minute, then laughed at what his elephant friend just said and replied, "Oh don't be ridiculous Raj; just because a girl asks a boy to go do something in town with each other doesn't mean it's a date. It's just an outing. Besides, she said she wants to celebrate with me for winning a medal."

While all of that was going on, neither Bean Scout noticed Patsy looking back at the monkey, sighing deeply and romantically with little hearts popping up behind her and saying to herself, "He said yes!"
