The next morning, the twins met Nelson at Café du Lac. There was no bacon smoke wafting through the air, and there were no counselors frying bacon or flipping pancakes on the giant griddle. Instead, the griddle had been replaced by three giant vats of sugary cereal in colors not normally found in nature. Boxes of candy bars and crates of marshmallows were stacked up to the ceiling of the tent.

Joules and Kevin each filled two bowls with cereal and grabbed cartons of milk, then sat together at a picnic table by the door. This was a real treat for the twins who rarely had the chance to eat cereal at all, let alone cereal that was 100 percent guaranteed to rot your teeth. Nelson filled a bowl and sat down, too.

The rest of the campers sat at the other tables. They whispered and glared at the twins.

Commander Jones entered. Even though the light was dim inside the tent, she wore her sunglasses. She grabbed a box of candy bars and walked to the table where SmellyCat and Sparkletooth were giggling. Commander Jones smiled a weird stiff kind of smile in which her lips moved but her teeth remained clenched.

“Very sweet,” she said in her robotic tone. “Excellent. Excellent. Keep eating.”

Kevin rubbed his eyes, then squinted at the commander.

“She’s so weird and blurry,” he said.

“She really is—,” Joules began, but she stopped when Commander Jones walked to their table. Though “walked” is not quite accurate. She reached their table in a swift half-gliding, half-hopping motion. Commander Jones looked blankly from Joules to Kevin to Nelson.

“You are the Rockman boy and girl, and that other child,” she said, pointing slowly at Nelson.

“Your energy readings are very low,” she said. “You must eat more. It is important to have energy so you can participate in the many fun and enjoyable camp activities available here at Camp Whatsitooya on the shores of scenic Lake Whatsosmelly. Camp Whatsitooya, providing youths exceptionally exceptional outdoor experiences. No exceptions.”

She gave her stiff smile, which made Kevin’s face hurt just looking at her. Then she tilted her head to one side and dumped the entire box of candy onto the table.

“Eat,” she said.

“Uh—” said Joules. “Actually, we’re late for a hike. Gotta go! Thanks for the snacks!”

Joules, Kevin, and Nelson grabbed some candy bars and dashed out of the tent. (Hey! Free candy is free candy. Even when it comes from a creepy, cyclone-haired craft queen with hot glue guns set to “stun”!)

“That was too freaky,” said Kevin.

“Well, it must be freaky day at Camp Whatsitooya,” said Joules.

“What?” asked Kevin, but one look toward the lake told him the answer.

Walking toward them was Counselor Blech, ready for a hike.
