Off to Mexico!
Sixth Sense Dreamer
6th looked over at the love-struck guys with disgust. Muttering phrases like "how unchivalrous" and "of all the nerve", she turned to face the ladies.
"Ok, if that's the way they want to be, fine. Honestly they cause more trouble than they are worth!"
"So are we going to leave them?" Mouse asked.
6th nodded. She really didn't want to leave the guys behind, but they hadn't left her much choice.
"Honestly, we can do this without them!" 6th said. "But first, I need some of my stuff...anybody else need to pack?" naturally the girls all nodded. (Who ever heard of a girl going on a trip with no luggage?)
"We can meet back here in an hour or so. Don't forget bathing suits! Mexico has a lot of beautiful beaches, and I'm planning on making a stop at one of them before the adventure!"
The girls all scurried off, but 6th stayed behind for a minute to talk to the parrot.
"Sweetie," 6th said, laying a map of Mexico out on the table "do you think you can trace out a route to where ever you want us to go, with a stop by a nice beach?"
The parrot cocked its head at her.
"How?" it asked her.
"Ummm..." 6th looked around. She started digging through a desk near the wall. Pulling out an ink pad, she turned back to the bird.
"Here." she said, opening the ink pad. "Just step on this, and walk out the route. "I'll be back in a little while."
6th left, and the parrot started walking out the route.
An hour or so later, 6th returned to the mansion, a large backpack on her shoulders, and a bag in her hands. She opened the door, and went in.
The guys were still glued to the Tv. *It's going to get messy in here after a few days* 6th thought looking at the glazed faces of the guys. *and I'll be darned if I'm going to clean up their mess!*
"Hey parrot! did you get the map done?" 6th called.
"We're in the kitchen!" a voice yelled back.
6th set he bags down, and walked in. KaraS, Raven_Kat, and Mouse were seated around the table with the bird, looking at the map.
"He has got a wonderful route traced out!" Mouse exclaimed, her eyes aglow. "He even has the beach on the way!"
"Ok, well we're all set then." 6th said, "there's just one thing I have to do."
She went back into the Living room, the others following.
6th picked up her small bag and carried it over behind the TV. She pulled out a small black box with a tiny sattellite dish on the top, and set it on top of the TV. 6th attached several cables between the box and the back of the tv. Then she walked to the table. She pulled out two cell phones, and four more black boxes, these with a series of antenna sticking out of one end. Finally, she pulled out another black box, about the size of a shoebox. It had a large red botton on the top and the words "Don't touch unless I tell you to. Love 6th" imprinted on it.
"What is all that stuff?" Rae asked 6th.
6th grinned. "Well, I just wanted to give the guys a chance, if they change their minds. That" she pointed to the box on the tv, "is a satellite dish with a direct feed to a video camera I have in my bag. If there is an absolute emergency, we can call them, and it will interrupt whatever they're watching, so they won't miss it. And those," 6th pointed to the table, "are some trackers, for them to find us with, and cell phones, just in case."
"What is this one?" KaraS asked, pointing at the large black box.
"That," 6th grinned "is one of my best inventions. If there is a real emergency, and we need the guys quick, we can call them and all they have to do is hit that button. It has a tracer lock on me, and will send whoever pushes that button to where I am."
"Does it work?" Kara asked.
6th grinned. "Go on and try it!" Kara hit the red button. The box beeped, and Kara faded out, reappearing standing directly beside 6th.
"WOW!" the girls all cried.
"Still got all your fingers and toes?" 6th asked Kara.
"Yeah. That was a blast!" Kara cried.
"So should we get started?" 6th asked.
"Just one question." said Rae. "How are we going to get to Mexico?"
6th grinned wickedly "Well...Since Ragnar's so busy...anyone else besides me know how to sail a Longboat?"
The other girls looked at 6th in suprise. "You mean, just take it? He'd cut our heads off!" Rae cried.
"We'd only be borrowing it. I know he brought it back during X-mas. Or would you guys rather walk to Mexico?" 6th glanced over at the big Viking, making sure he had not heard her. She honestly didn't think he'd mind the girls borrowing it, but if he did, well, there was always one of the 'interesting' cars 6th had seen in the FS mansion's garage.
"So..." 6th said "Shall we take the boat? Or go find a car in the garage?"
