"What da fudge!" came a high pitched voice from the adjoining room.
Glancing at each other, Kyle and Allie opened the door and found a bunk room full of sleeping campers, all of which appeared to be an animal of some kind. The only exception were two kids standing in front of a mirror on the wall taking in their forms with astonishment. The first, a lioness, was dressed in pink PJs and had long brown hair. The second a skunk boy with a shock of sporty pure white hair was dressed in blue pajamas.
"What da fudging heck!" Cried the skunk boy again " I'm a flippin' boy! And i've got....a tail...god this feels so weird."
"I-I'm a girl" said the lion cub as she opened her pj pants, looking within to confirm what she already knew " I-I don wanna be agirl"
"And why'd I have to be a gross skunk! Out of all the animals!" The boy shouted
Kyle and Allie quickly put two and two together. These were their parents
"Mom....dad?" Said Allie
"What? !" Said the little skunk,turning to glare at her.
"I'm - Rob and this.." she gestured at kyle " Is kyle. I guess we.... had a bit of a growth spurt"
"I'll say!" said the lion " Looks like you got the short end of the stick and ended up a girl like me. Guess that's only fair, I DID say you needed a softer side."
Embarrassed, allies rubber her neck, not sure how to respond to her 'dad.'
"....anyways...It looks like we're your....councilors now..." She said
"I don wanna stupid councilor" the cub replied with increasing anger " I jus wanna be a grown-up again!"
"Hey Leona, be quiet" came a voice from another bunk, apparently directed at Leo.
"yea Leona, its still quiet hours, maybe you should try to get back to sleep" replied Kyle, who only afterwards realized what he had said.
"Er----I mean---perhaps we should go into our room, we can chat about this and....figure out how to fix things." Kyle said, correcting himself " Sound good sport?"
Leona only sneered at him.
"Man up pussycat" said the skunk as he punched Leona " The grown-ups will figure this out an then we can get back to our old selves"
"FINNNNNEEEEe" replied Leona as she and the others went into the counselors quarters to chat.
