"Hello everyone!" Anakin boomed through his megaphone. Was it absolutely necessary for him to be so loud so early?

No, but Anakin was mean.

"Today we are playing the very famous--" in camp circles, maybe? "--game called Burst the Balloons! As you can see, Beaker and I have scattered balloons around the park."

Beaker meeped at Anakin.

"--and filled them with a variety of surprises. Oh?" He grinned. "Well done for that initiative, Beaker. The balloons are filled with surprises. Working in teams, you must race to break all of your balloons before the other teams do! Listen for your names!"

TEAM JETS

If this team was coming in second it was not gonna be because of Kitty. If she stuck her foot into a balloon and unphased so it popped did that count?

Malia found her balloons really quickly -- they smelled terrible, so it wasn't like it was hard. But she lost some time trying to get her claws to come out to pop it with.

What was even the point of having retractable claws if you couldn't get them to unretract on command?!

Belle shrieked very loudly when her first balloon finally popped after several failed attempts to stomp it.

In her defense, it had made a very loud noise, it had been filled with neon orange slime, and she had lost her balance.

It took Lydia stomping on her balloon and holding it in place with her boot, and then poking a hat pin -- what, you didn't have a hat pin? -- into it before the balloon she'd found popped.

She let out an anguished howl when it did, though; not only was the stuff inside really smelly, but it was neon pink.

Her precious black, you guys. Ugh.
