ScOrPiA pOiSoN: I do feel a bit bad for them…but if Kae would only be a little more responsible, she wouldn't find herself in half these messes. Tsk. Silly Kae
Turn-On-The-Stars: It didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would to wrap this up, though I'm not entirely pleased with this chapter :P. I'll need them really soon! I'll PM you as soon as I need them!
Lake25: Oops. Sorry. The sequel will be about them in the safe house, yes and I think it's going to focus more on how they're dealing with everything, so it probably won't be as long as this one. Maybe…
Aphrodite100: What I really hate is when I find something really funny on Fanfiction and I can't laugh cos it's like two in the morning and I'd get in a load of trouble for being on the internet
Ovolamp: I love brightening people's moods :D. And I'm working on that story that you suggested…heh, having some fun writing it too
Loser94: One of the most fun things to say on this earth :oD
Slivergriffen10: He will, though Kae is less than thrilled with his methods…hee
Izzy-I.R.T: You're back!!!!!!!!! I'm glad you think so, though I dunno how this all is going to work out lol
I would now like to sell my soul to Venlar who helped me a TON with this story! Seriously, she's amazing.
I would also like to thank Ovolamp who's helped me come up with a couple of those one-shots I posted. The second one has yet to be posted, but it's getting there.
And I would like to thank my reviewers/readers because seriously, you provide motivation.
I love you all!
The jeep pulled up in the camp. The snow had gone down a bit and it was no longer crisp and white. On the contrary, it was muddy and filled with debris. Of course the kids had been forced to ride in the back, but this time they were plastered up against the back and they had been given a blanket.
"I'M SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, JUST SINGIN' IN THE RAIN! WHAT A GLORIOUS FEELING, I'M HAPPY AGAIN, I'M LAUGING AT CLOUDS, SO DARK UP ABOVE-"
"Kae, it's not raining…" Kae huffed and crossed her arms, glaring at Tom. The jeep was slowing down and they could hear the descants of the soldiers.
"Tom, it's like you expect me to care," she said, then frowned, thinking. "Okay, how about this? I'M SINGIN' IN THE SNOW, JUST SINGIN' IN THE SNOW! WHAT GLORIOUS FEELING-"
"SHUT UP!" Wolf shouted, climbing out of the cab. Kae grinned and hopped out.
"It's nice to hear your voice too," she said cheerfully. Seeing his glare, she added hastily, "Sir." Wolf got a malicious gleam in his eyes. Uh-oh.
"Eagle mentioned that you're learning Spanish," he said. Kae swallowed and shuffled backwards, only to hit the side of the jeep. Wolf was really, really scary right now. "And that you're having trouble."
"N-no!" Kae squeaked. "I'm not! Really, I've got it all under control and…and…stuff! Yeah, see it's just a few minor bumps, no need to worry and-"
"I thought I could tutor you, seeing as it's so important to your friend Elle," Wolf continued over her babbling. "So from now on, you're only allowed to talk in Spanish. I'm going to be talking to you only in Spanish. Any slip-ups will result in push-ups, am I clear?"
"Yes, sir," she whimpered. Aw, geez. She could just kill him. And Eagle. And Elle. Well, maybe not Elle. She loved Elle. It was everyone else she had problems with. Well, not so much anymore. She had actually gotten used to them and respected them, which had toned down her attitude a lot. Never her energy, though. But that was beside the point!
Kae waited until they were in their cabin to freak out. She was the last one in and she shut the door behind her. She kept it together long enough to go to the window and make sure K-unit was in their own cabin. Three cabins away. Not nearly a big enough gap for Kae, but big enough.
"AAH! I can't do this!" She wailed. "I can't speak Spanish 24/7! Do you know what that will do to me? It'll kill me!"
"Kae…" Everyone was kind of staring at her.
"I mean, is he crazy? I don't mind learning Spanish. I don't have anything against the language, but…HIM!" Kae stormed back and forth, continuing her rant.
"Kae-"
"Can he do that? Is it even legal? He just enjoys torturing me, the psychotic, sadistic, evil…evil…evil…Easter Bunny! He's an evil psychotic, sadistic Easter Bunny who-"
"Kae!"
"Who enjoys torturing people! He'll kill me and then hide the evidence and it'll be like I never existed-"
"I doubt that could ever happen," Luke muttered.
"And he'll turn into a mass murderer and kill a bunch of people! I mean, am I the only one sees issues with this?"
"Kae…"
"Evil, evil, evil! That's all this is! It's evil!" Kae stopped long enough to take a breath and look at her group of friends, who were fixated on a point just over her shoulder. Kae felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"He's right behind me, isn't he?" Tom nodded and smiled. Kae turned around slowly and saw all four SAS men standing there. Three of the men looked amused and the other simply looked annoyed. There was silence until Eagle broke it.
"Easter Bunny?"
Aw, crap.

"It's Christmas, it's Christmas, it's Christmas!" Kae yelped in Spanish, bouncing up and down on Jessie's bed before jumping to Tom's and landing on his back. Oops.
"I know it's before five because there are no soldiers in here tipping beds," James groaned. "Kae, why are you up?" Of course all he heard was her babbling in Spanish as she bounced up and down on his bed.
"She says it's Christmas," Alex groaned from his bed, already rousing himself. "And somehow I don't think we'll be getting back to sleep anytime soon." He switched to Spanish for Kae. "Why did you wake up so early? Apart from its Christmas."
"I had to pee." Alex cocked a brow and shook his head. Kae smiled and bounced to her bed. Even after a week of numerous push-ups, she still had to force herself to speak Spanish.
Kae quickly shoved her gifts to everyone and sat back, eagerly waiting for them to open it. She had gotten Jessie a cable knit dark green sweater. Luke had a gotten a medical book and Tom had gotten a book of 101+ Pranks. For James she had gotten him a jersey for his favorite football (British) team. Alex had been slightly more difficult to shop for but in the end she had gotten him a small, durable waterproof watch that automatically switched whenever you entered a new time zone.
Kae had received joke items and art supplies, all which she could put to very good use. Tom had received a T-shirt from Luke and James and a new flashlight from Jessie. Alex had gotten him some guitar strings. Apparently Tom played guitar. Jessie had gotten a silver cross necklace from Luke and some earrings from Alex. Tom had gotten her a copy of The Phantom of the Opera book, unabridged. James had gotten her an instruction book for writing plays.
James got a CD from Jessie and a computer geek book from Tom. When Kae saw it, she broke out into excited babble which Alex translated for them into, "I didn't know you were a computer dork!" Luke had gotten him a British football and Alex had gotten him a simple, yet elegant and very cool looking pendant.
Luke had gotten a huge Sudoku book from Jessie and a gospel CD from Tom. James had gotten him a mini-skeleton model that he could put together. Alex had gotten him a pair of football cleats. Alex himself had also gotten a pendant from Jessie and a rewritten version of Pride and Prejudice, only it was written with zombies in it. He had gotten it from Tom. No doubt the shorter boy had already flipped through it. Luke had gotten him a small survival kit and James had given him a basketball.
Kae pulled her phone out and snapped a picture of the scene quickly, while everyone wasn't expecting it. At that moment the door opened. Wolf tromped, glowering at them all. Kae hastily attempted to shove her phone under the covers before remembering Wolf had given up caring a long time ago. Say, around October.
"Pack your bags," Wolf grunted. "We're going." Kae jumped up.
"Where are we going?" She squealed. Wolf glared at her. Kae gulped. "I mean…where are we going?"
"You're going to do pushups."
CRAP!
And this is the end of KidLifeNightmare! I realize it's a crappy ending, but it's the best I could come up with and I had to include the presents otherwise I'd feel bad. And I realize that a LOT of those presents would be highly unrealistic for an SAS training camp, but I had to come up with something!
The sequel is called KidLifeBadDream and you can look for it the next couple of days hopefully.
