Chapter 2: One Accident and Exploration
Everybody arrived into the Philippines and got through immigration.
"Man, why do I feel so beat?" Eddy moaned.
"Eddy, your body has to get used to the time zone change, and your body still think it's still time in Peach Creek." Double D replied.
Mr. Wake was leading everybody to the baggage claim, then they all got out of the airport.
He also led them to the buses they were supposed to go on to reach the hotels.
"It's WAY too hot here." Eddy moaned.
"That's because we're near the equator Eddy. The weather here isn't exactly like Peach Creeks." Double D said.
About 20 minutes into the bus ride, something was wrong. The bus felt too shaky. After 30 seconds the bus swerved and slid then crashed into a wall.
Eddy got out of the wreck and yelled, "Double D! Ed! Where is everybody?"
He was afraid. He was afraid he might lose his closest friends, and he was afraid that innocent people might die.
Eddy heroically went into the wreck and tried to save as many people as he could. There was no sign of Mr. Wake or the others at all.
He found Ed and Double D, but also saved the driver and most of the people on the bus. The rest were injured.
After all that was finished, Eddy said, "I'm glad you guys are okay. I was worried about you for a second."
Double D and Ed said in unison, "Thanks for saving us Eddy!"
Eddy said, "Well, where do we go now?"
"I think the safest way is for us to go to the hotel rooms Mr. Wake booked us." Double D said.
"All right my friend Double D!." Ed said.
"Fine with me. As long as we get a break right?" Eddy said.
The hotel they had to go to was called The Cherry Blossom Hotel.
It took them a while to get there themselves, but they made it.
They got to their rooms and decided to settle in. The three friends had over $1,000 with them, or 46455.39 pesos.
Eddy said, "When I was saving you guys, Mr. Wake and the others weren't there."
Ed screamed, "NO! It can't be true!"
"Well, shouldn't they be in the same hotel?" Double D questioned.
Eddy replied, "I checked with Mr. Wake before. We have our own luxury suite to ourselves. Everybody is probably is somewhere else in another hotel."
"Well then, let's just try to settle in all right?" Double D said.
It was about 11:00 AM when they were about to sleep. They were knocked out cold.
Eddy yawned, "Ughhh."
He went to check the time
"It's 4 AM?, must be Monday" Eddy said.
Double D and Ed also woke up.
Eddy had just realized something very important.
"Guys, our plane tickets say we stay here for about five days, then we go to Britain, then after a week in Britain, we go to Australia, then we go to what's left on the other plane tickets we have." Eddy said.
Double D said, "Eddy, that means we stay here longer than everyone else. We also have to go to Japan, then Canada, then back to Peach Creek."
"Ah, Japan, home of the Monsters!" Ed said.
At 9 AM, they went into SM, the malls located around the Philippines.
"So, let's just look around, then let's eat, then let's go back to the hotel." Ed said.
After buying a few items, eating some McDonalds, they went back to their hotel suite.
"I'm beat, I'm going to sleep guys." Eddy said.
"Yeah me too." Ed replied.
"I'll follow suit as well." Double D said.
It was around 9:30 PM when they slept. They were snoring and resting peacefully.
Tuesday rolled on along, and The Eds were just getting used to the time zone.
"Gentleman, it looks like we only have about three more days, so let's make the most out of it all right?" Double D said.
So, for three days, the Eds were partying and eating exotic foods.
On their last day in the Philippines, they packed their bags, called a taxi, and headed for the airport.
"I'm gonna miss this place. I don't know why but, it feels like another home to me Double D." Eddy said.
"I too feel the same way Eddy. Maybe because since we've been here a while, we've adapted to this lifestyle." Double D said.
"Well, we're going to a new place, and we're going to enjoy it my friends!" Ed said.
After processing their documents, going through the metal detectors, and being checked for explosives, they were on the plane to Britain.
When they were taking off, they weren't like they were before on their first flight. They've built a lot of character.
"Looks like we have to get used to another time zone." Eddy said.
"True." Ed replied.
"Of course!" Double D added.
About halfway into the flight The Three Eds started crying. It's always hard to get rid of something you've liked for a long time.
