Mikey was awakened by a rustling coming from the tent flap. He looked up just as Mrs Diver stuck her head in and said "Good morning girls! It's time to get up. Get dressed and come on out to the picnic tables. Breakfast will be done soon.
Mikey was still pretty tired from the long day yesterday; he'd only very rarely been allowed to stay up as late as they had last night. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and watched as Diane climbed out of her sleeping bag and started getting dressed. She seemed to have a lot of energy and was dressed and ready to go in under a minute. "Come on sleepyhead." She chided Mikey who hadn't even gotten out of his sleeping bag yet. "You better hurry or there might not be any breakfast left. You may be new to the troop but I know that we can eat a whole lot of food."
Mikey reluctantly got out of his sleeping bag after Diane had disappeared through the tent flap. Moving slowly due to his tiredness Mikey proceeded to get dressed.
When Mikey joined the other girls for breakfast he was shocked at just how much it seemed that they had eaten in the few minutes it took him to get his clothes on.
"Eat up girls. We've got a day full of adventure ahead of us. We're going to start off with a hike. There is a lake about two miles from here and we're going to go swimming so make sure you bring your bathing suits and towels with you." Mrs Diver explain cheerfully.
Mikey nearly choked when he heard that he was going to have to wear a bathing suit. He wasn't even sure he would have one in with the clothes that he'd packed for the weekend since he'd packed his bag while he was a boy. He'd thrown some swim trunks in, so he thought that it was possible that they would have transformed into a bathing suit when he became a girl. He wasn't sure how much the magic of the necklace interpreted the things it changed; his swim trunks might only be a pair of girls shorts. He would have to search his bag after he finished his breakfast.
"Everyone should also bring their notebooks and pencils." Mrs. Diver continued. "We are going to try to identify any animal tracks that we come across during our hike."
After all of the girls had finished eating they helped wash the dishes and got their campsite cleaned up a bit now that it was light enough to see better. Once the morning chores were done the girls went back to their tents to get the things they would need during their hike.
Mikey found that his swim trunks had indeed turned into a one piece bathing suit. He was embarrassed to discover that it was bright pink and had yellow, blue and purple flowers all over it. He was almost too embarrassed to pack it but he didn't want to be the only girl that wasn't swimming. With a sign he stuffed it into his backpack to take with him on the hike.
Everybody had all of their stuff packed and met back at the central picnic tables where Mrs. Reynold gave each of them a sack lunch to take with them as well.
"Alright girls." Mrs. Diver said. "Off we go on our adventure." With that she led the way down one of the trails that led away from the camp with all of the Girl Scouts and Mrs Reynolds, who was the last in line, following behind.
