my new rover team

Postby viking » Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:25 am

hey everyone, it's been a looooooooooooooooong time since i shared a true story now. mostly because i was out of true stories to share, but like i promised i would share more in the future if i experienced more of them.
i mentioned before that i am now officially a scout leader for the local rover team.
for those who doesn't know what that is, it's the oldest members of the scout for members who are turning 15 during this year and older. usually that means the oldest are about 19 but some decides to keep being a rover after they have turned 20 so they can join some our scout trips without being a leader.

the story took place about two weeks ago.
this fall i have gotten 7 new members on the rover team, how many that shows up at each meeting is various.
the church in our town has a house that the scouts are allowed to use for their meetings and several projects, and the entire basement is the scouts area. the head leaders had promised us that the rovers would have a room that would be our own to use, and at this meeting my plans was to shine up this room.
at least that was my plan...

four of the new girls showed up. (as a scout leader i have a certain responsibility, so i will not use any real names in the story)
Tanja, a 15 year old Norwegian girl with long brown hair, wearing jeans and a purple sweater.
Eire, a 14 year old girl who is turning 15 soon with Asian origins, has long black hair, wearing jeans and a gray sweater.
Caitlin, a 16 year old Norwegian girl with long dark blond hair, wearing jeans, blue sweater, a yellow hat and glasses.
Jennifer, a 16 year old girl from Taiwan with long black hair, wearing Adidas pants, sports jacket and gray hat.

then for the boys that showed up:
Tom, 16 years old Norwegian boy with black hair and signs of sideburns, wearing jeans and an orange jacket, black short hair. has been on the rover team for a year now.
Tony, a 15 year old Norwegian boy with black curly hair and has already started to grow a mustache (not really a usual thing for that age), wearing jeans and a gray sweater. recently jumped from the younger group to the rover team.
and my self, i have replaced my goatee with a whole beard, still got shortcut dark blond hair. wearing black pants and an AC/DC t-shirt.

there are more members of the group but they couldn't show up that day.
i had prepared a few cool things for our meeting room, like a world map where we are going to mark every place we have visited so far. i already marked Germany and Iceland and a couple of other places we have been to. if you have read my previous stories you know why i marked those countries.
"Tom, help me lift this will ya?" i said as tried to get an old desk out of the room.
that is pretty much how the meeting went, Tom and i did most of the lifting, Tony helped me a little too if asked him to while the girls... they where just sitting around in a sofa each.
i had a little issue about them not helping out that much so suddenly i said to Tom "alright, let's see if we can move this sofa in to the room" i had picked the one that Eire was sitting in.
"you are not strong enough to carry this sofa as long I'm sitting in it, that is not possible" she said as she where doing something on her smart phone.
"1, 2, 3" i said and i lifted up one side.

Eire screamed out loud "OH MY GOD!!!".
now Tom lifted the other side of the sofa and we where carrying it with Eire in it.
"HOLY CRAP, look at me, I'm being carried in a sofa" she seemed kinda surprised by our strength.
we moved toward the door and a new problem showed up.
"Dammit, the sofa is to big" i said as i realized it wouldn't go trough the door.
Eire jumped out and sat down next to Tanja instead.

Tom and i tried to figure out a way to solve this problem as i noticed that Eire was bothering Tanja with something, i don't know what it was but she seemed to get really annoyed.
that's when i said the word that lead to a reason for me to share the story on this website "i got duct tape in my car if you need".
this got Tanja's attention quickly "yes please".
i grabbed my car keys, went outside opened my car where i looked at all the things i have. a lot of tools, a first aid kit, a crowbar and a big roll of duct tape.
i got back down and threw the roll to Tanja "suit yourself" i said and went back to the sofa to see if i could find a way to make it fit trough the small door.

"alright Caitlin, let's tape Eire to something" Tanja said.
Eire stretched her feets out and said "okey".
the other girls looked stupid at her and Caitlin said "okey? your saying okey, as in you don't even bother?"
"it's just duct tape, where's the harm in that?"
"okey then, now how are we going to do this"
"should we place her in a chair or something?"
the girls didn't seem to have much experience with this sorta things so decided to give them a little advice. after if they wasn't going to help they might as well just tie each other up right?

"why don't you just tape her to that pole over there?" i said and pointed out the support pole in the middle of the room "make her stand on a chair and then tape her to the pole, then you remove the chair so she is hanging in the air".
the girls liked the idea "but is the duct tape strong enough?" Eire said...
"trust me, it will hold you up there until tomorrow if you want to".
they pulled out a chair and placed it next to the pole, Eire stood up on it and placed her back against the pole and placed her arms to sides of her body. Tanja and Caitlin started wrapping the tape around her stomach and the kept it going a couple of times around her.

what the hell am i doing i suddenly thought to myself...
there are two girls tying up another girl over there and I'm standing all the way over here trying to move a sofa? obviously it's a lot more interesting over there!!!
i climbed over the sofa and stood by Tony and Tom to watch the whole thing.
Jennifer seemed to think this was funny too as she sat by watching the whole thing with a big smile.
"holy shit, I'm going to fall down i just know it" Eire said as she was standing up there getting taped.
"yes, you are absolutely right" i said "you have only taped her around her stomach, she is going fall forward and brake trough the tape when you remove that chair"
Tanja stopped and didn't seem to know what i meant, i reached out my arm and she gave me the tape roll.
i continued wrapping the tape around Eire and the pole but i wrapped i upward instead of at the same place "you see, like this. now she will stay up there"

Eire was now covered in duct tape from stomach to shoulders "now let's remove the chair" i said and pulled it out.
"NO NO NO, WAIT! I'M GONNA FAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!! oh my god, I'm hanging in mid air".
there she was hanging, only thing left to do now was taping her feets to the pole.
short process.
"hurry, take a picture of me with my cell phone" she said
"i already am" Tanja and Caitlin was standing with a phone each taking pictures.
the boys was trying all they could not to laugh at the scenario.
"this should be your profile picture on facebook" i said.
"i have already uploaded it on facebook" Tanja said.

"umh, as fun as I'm having up here guys, my arm is starting to hurt so you think you could let me down?"
well let's face it, if she is starting to feel pain the best thing would be to let her down, so we undid her feet and placed the chair back for her to stand on. the girls took on the job of getting off all the tape we had used.
meanwhile i placed myself in the sofa we tried to move earlier, i didn't bother with it anymore and decided to relax instead.
Eire finally got down and looked at all the tape that had been used on her "shit, did we use that much tape?"
Tanja looked at the roll that now was reduced by half "oh my god, look at this thing, it was like this big when started and now it's this small"

Tony still struggled to avoid laughing.
"I'm so sorry, i didn't mean to waste all this duct tape" Tanja said laughing.
"don't worry about it".
they sat down as well, Tanja looked at her cell phone "WOW, Eire you already got 10 likes on facebook"
"what? it's already ON facebook?"
"yeah, and your mom has commented it too"
"that was fast, what is my mom saying?"
"she says: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Eire looked weird at them "okeeeeeeey"

they messed around a little bit more the remaining of the meeting, Eire and Caitlin stole a shoe from Tanja and they chased each other for some time. but beside of that nothing much to share from that day.
so for now I'll just have to wait for my next story to happen so i can share it with you guys.
Once a scout, always a perverted pyromaniac with a fetish for knives and duct tape
