Journey-Chapter 2

Russell ran inside quickly and grabbed keys off the rack. He ran out again and down the stairs to his apartment. At last, he got to the garage where he found Carol and Doug panting slightly.

"Get in." Russell said. Carol and Doug climbed in and Russell sped off to a place unknown to Carol and Doug.

"Russ, where are we going?" Carol asked slightly scared and more than slightly frazzled. Russell said nothing but kept his eyes on the road (Being a new driver and all, that's probably a smart idea.). They sped along the highway and Doug whimpered in the back seat. Carol reached a hand back and petted Doug soothingly.

They finally stopped at an old, abandoned factory and got out. They walked inside; Russell confidently, Carol scared, and Doug curious.

"I give you The Spirit of Adventure." Russell presented to Carol. Carol gasped as she looked at the giant air ship.

"It IS real…" Carol whispered to herself. Russell smiled and Doug sniffed around.

"Yup. This is how I expect to get there." Russell said. Carol turned onto Russell with a confusing expression. It was stuck somewhere between longing and utter hatred and worry.

"Russell, I can't let you do this." Russell sighed and walked up to Carol who had turned back around to face the air ship. He hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear.

"Carol, listen. If I go, then you can come too. We can have an adventure together like we always dreamed. Isn't that what you want? Or do you want me to break my promise to Mr. Fredrickson?" Carol sighed.

"Fine." Russell squeezed her harder and she laughed. He let her go and pulled out a small remote and pressed a button. The Spirit of Adventure opened and Carol gasped a little. Russell chuckled a little and took her by the hand. He led her towards the ship and Doug ran in yelling how much he missed the ship.

After a few days of gathering supplies and checking to make sure they had everything, they turned it on. They ship made a stuttering noise and started rising in the air. They both made sure that they left notes on their tables at home telling their parents that they would be on a camping trip for a while and wouldn't be back for a few days, a week at the most. And they were on their way.

"One last minute check. Clothing?" Russell asked.

"Check."

" Non-perishable food?"

"Check"

"Extra Chocolate?"

"Check. What's the chocolate for?" Russell looked up from his list to see Carol looking at him confused. Russell smiled and went back to his list.

"It's Kevin's favorite. If we have that with us, she'll be sure to come out." Carol watched him for a second and sighed to herself.

"Extra Blankets?"

"Check."
"Anything else?"
"You forgot food for Doug."

"Ah, right, food for Doug?"

"Check, Master!" Doug said with a can of dog food in his mouth. They all laughed and Russell took the can out of his mouth.

"You hungry now big guy?" Russell asked Doug. Doug wagged his tail.

"Yes, oh yes, I am oh so hungry, Master!" Doug said happily. Russell dunked the can of food into a bowl and Doug began eating. Carol and Russell's stomach growled.

"I forgot we hadn't eaten breakfast yet!" Russell said. They laughed again and headed to the kitchen. Inside, they found a lot of non-perishable foods left from years ago when Mr. Mintz still owned the ship. They got out a few bowls and poured themselves a bowl of dry cereal.

They were just finishing when they heard a small beeping coming from the main control room and Doug bounding down the hall to tell them something important.

SAM: YES! 2nd chapter: DONE! Yay! Not bad, huh? I thought this chapter was really short compared to what I normally write. Check out how long my other chapters are by reading my other stories! Please review! *^-^*
