Lock-In

The Lock-In was an event in Westmore Middle School where kids could spend the night and have fun. But the real highlight was to raise money for the school's music program.

Highlight
It was supposed to be fun,but it was actually really boring for Greg Heffley, until it was time for party games. At first, the kids weren't paying attention,because they were too busy playing with electronics. But one of the chaperones named Mr Tanner confiscated the electronics. First, they played the name game, where you had to make up a nickname that starts with the first letter of your first name. Greg was having trouble at first, but he finally settled on "Great Greg". But George Fleer already took that nickname, and eventually a chaperone had to bail him out. Greg wasn't happy, because the nickname the chaperone chose was "Jolly Greg", and now Greg was stuck with an embarrassing nickname for the whole night. Next, they played a secret game. After that, they played "Guess Who" where the kids were split up into teams and they had to take a picture of someone's body part and the others had to guess who it was. The team that Greg was in chose to take a picture of this kid named Tyson Sander's bent arm. They were pretty happy because they thought they were gonna win. But when the teachers saw the picture, they got very angry, because they thought it was a picture of someone's buttocks. That scared the kids, so they hid behind some instruments until the teachers discovered them, and they told the kids to come out. They came out, and then the teachers matched the picture to Tyson Sander's arm. Afterwards, it was time to sleep. Instead of sleeping, the kids were running around. Mr. Palmero, however told them to sleep. But every once in a while, one of the kids would fart, so Mr. Palmero said that they should fart behind the curtain. The kids took turns asking to go behind the curtain, and one of them blew a tuba. Eventually, the heater was intentionally turned off by a chaperone and it ended up with the boys kept in their sleeping bags and a freezing cold night. They tried to dig the floor with spoons, but it failed. At 3:00 am, the parents arrived pounding on the door, and they were angry because they tried to call their kids, but the kids wouldn't answer because their moblie phones were confiscated. The electronics were returned, and all the kids went home, except for Greg and Rowley(presumably they walked back or their parents eventually had to get them). Greg then explains that the whole Lock-In idea was a scam that was organised by the chaperones that are scammers. This didn't happen in the online version.
