"So what do you think, Miss Grimwood? Can we go?" Lauren asked hopefully, unconsciously biting her bottom lip.
Miss Grimwood pondered her question before saying "I don't see why not. It would be an excellent bonding opportunity for both schools, as well as a prime educational opportunity. I say whoever wants to go, can."
Lauren beamed happily before turning to see the reactions of the other ghouls, all of whom looked extremely happy with the prospect of going on the road trip. Within the next few minutes they had all went their separate ways to pack while Lauren teleported over to the cadet's school to tell Tug the good news. Deciding to skip the formalities of knocking and being given permission to enter, she simply teleported outside their bedroom window. She lightly rapped on it before climbing inside.
"Lauren!" the cadets all cheered.
"Hey, guys." she greeted, her eyes roaming the room in search of Tug. She spotted him biting the tip off a protein bar. Upon seeing Lauren, his eyes perked up and he made his way over to her. "Miss Grimwood said we could go so the ghouls and I will be joining you lot on your road trip." She informed him.
Tug picked her up and spun her around excitedly. "That's great! The two of us on the open road, alone, for a whole month." His voice lowered towards the end, his gaze lowering as he brought her face closer to his own.
"Get a room you two." Roger coughed, interrupting the mood.
"Just wait until we're on the road. We'll definitely get our own room then." Lauren promised him.
"Oh, scary," Roger muttered under his breath, going back to his comic book.
"You bet I am." Lauren told him with a small smirk, wiggling her fingers at him as black sparks spewed from her fingertips. She turned back to Tug and said "I should probably go pack a bag or two, but afterwards I'm all yours." Tug smiled eagerly as he pecked her on the lips. Lauren smiled as she returned the kiss. Once Tug was struggling for breath she slowly slipped out of his grasp before teleporting back to her school, eager for the trip to come.
