We stopped in our tracks and listened. Kenny was right, there was certainly somebody rustling about inside our tent. It just had to be those M&Ms.

“Right, I’m going to get them for this!” whispered Kenny.

She started to tie up the tent flap.

“Don’t let them get out whatever you do,” she warned. “And try not to let them know you’re here.”

She ran off towards Grange Hill. We didn’t know what she had in mind. We were too busy worrying about what we’d do if the M&Ms tried to get out.

Kenny was back in a flash. She was carrying a huge tube of squirty cream.

“You haven’t stolen that, have you?” Fliss looked shocked.

“’Course not,” Kenny replied. “I’ve just borrowed it.”

She bent down and quietly began to undo the tent flap. Then we all crouched on the ground, so that when the M&Ms appeared we would be ready for them.

“I think they’re coming out!” hissed Rosie.

We all stood up. My heart was beating like crazy. When the tent flap opened we all started screaming and Kenny sprayed cream like a demon. It was only when this tall blob started squealing and stumbling into us that we realised it wasn’t the M&Ms at all. It was Snowy Owl – Fliss’s Auntie Jill!

“What on earth is going on here?” asked Brown Owl who had come across because of all the noise we were making.

“We thought that someone had broken into our tent,” explained Kenny sheepishly.

“Well as you can see, no one has,” said Brown Owl. “Fliss’s mum sent her some clean underwear and Snowy Owl was putting it in your tent.”

Brown Owl looked furious, but fortunately Snowy Owl was laughing. “I finished my course this afternoon,” she explained, “so I came down to join the camp. I thought I’d surprise you, Felicity, as I haven’t seen you for such a long time! But I guess I should have just given you your underwear, rather than sneaking into your tent.”

Fliss was as red as a beetroot. I think it was because everyone had heard about her mum sending down some clean underwear. She was more embarrassed about that than the fact that we’d covered her Auntie Jill with cream.

All the other Brownies had gathered round us. Unfortunately the M&Ms were right at the front, sneering at us, which was just awful.

“At least there’s one good thing,” said Frankie when Brown Owl had sent everyone away and we were cleaning up the mess.

“Oh yeah, what would that be then?” asked Kenny.

“The M&Ms haven’t managed to sabotage us today,” said Frankie gleefully. “I bet they couldn’t think of a way to get back at us. They’re just not bright enough. Shame, isn’t it?”

We all laughed.

We were ready to go to the shower block with our toilet bags when Kenny said, “Let’s sprint to the showers, do push-ups against the wall, shower and stuff, and then jog back!”

Now I like Kenny as much as anyone, but this was getting a bit out of hand. It really was like being in the army.
