KNDnumbuh007: Thanks :-) Laurie43: I love this film too
"Well looks like we'll have to dig through." Cree stated.
Nathan jumped up and down in excitement. From his backpack he pulled a hand-held piece of equipment which was like a drill but with a bigger piece of metal on the end.
He placed it to the wall and switched it on. He pressed it to the stone wall and began to create a hole. He screamed in frustration when smoke began to come out of it and it stopped.
"I don't believe it!" Jody growled, taking it from him and opening the hatch on the back, she coughed on the smoke coming out of it. "I tuned this thing up before we left for the trip."
Hoagie walked over to see what was going on.
"It looks like a fuse has gone, I'll have to go and get my soldering iron from my bag. (They still have their bags, they put them in the M.I.N.I.B.U.S.)
"Can I..." Hoagie began.
"Don't touch it!" Jody ordered as she placed her invention on a rock as she walked over to the M.I.N.I.B.U.S.
Hoagie picked it up and checked that she wasn't watching as he fiddled with the wires. When he'd done, he pressed a button and it started to work again, Nathan cheered.
"Hey, what'd you do?" Jody asked as she came over.
Hoagie grinned cockily as he leant against the wall. "Well the M.I.N.I.B.U.S has a similar fuse to this, all you have to do is swap that wire to the fuse for a less important one and..."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you very much now shut up!" Jody snapped as she grabbed the machine and handed it to Nathan, who continued to dig. She then turned back at Hoagie and gave him a glare. She raised her fist and Hoagie ducked. He opened his eye to see her still glaring at him.
"Two for flinching!" She stated, thumping his arm twice.
"Ow!" Hoagie whined as she walked away.
Abby laughed as she walked past. Hoagie beamed at her. "She likes me."
"Yeah, in your dreams boy!" Abby snorted.
It didn't take long for Nathan to get through the wall, it wasn't that thick. When they got through they decided to make camp there for the night.
Hoagie cooked and served food, again, the sat separate.
Maurice looked over at the younger members sat in a small group away from them. The teens had managed to make a fire for warmth and light, whereas the KND simply sat in the dim light.
"Hey, we've been pretty tough on the kids, what do you say we cut them some slack?" He asked his team members.
Chad nodded and Jody looked over to them.
"Yeah you're right." She stated, then called over to them. "Hey guys why don't you come sit with us?"
The KND looked over.
"Really?" Hoagie beamed.
"Sure, come park it here and get warm." Jody replied, patting the floor next to her with her dark skinned hand as they all moved back to make a bigger circle.
"The adults wouldn't be very happy with us if we let you come back with coughs and colds anyway." Cree joked as the kids joined them around the fire.
"Thank you." Nigel smiled as they sat down. "It's really nice of you to include us in..."
As he sat down, a large trump was heard, he looked down to see a whoopee cushion.
Nathan burst out laughing.
"Nathan!" All of the teens scolded.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist!" Nathan said, wiping a tear from his eye.
They sat and spoke quietly as they ate their food.
"Isn't this just the best adventure you've ever been on?" Nigel exclaimed.
The kids nodded but the teens simply shrugged.
"I don't know, when you hit thirteen adventure just isn't a big thing any more." Cree spoke.
"Well what is?" Hoagie asked.
Cree shrugged. "Things like money...erm..."
"Can't you think of anything else?" Abby asked.
All of the teens thought but shook their heads.
"Well why are you all here then?" Hoagie asked.
Chad answered. "Father pays us for working for him, we're getting $150 dollars for doing this job."
"So are any of you here for the adventure or do you just want the money?" Nigel asked.
"Money." Jody answered.
"Money." Cree and Chad nodded.
"Money." Lauren shrugged.
"Money." Nathan and Larry agreed.
"Money." Maurice repeated.
They all then got up to pitch their tents.
When he finished. Wally was about to get up but hissed when he got a sharp pain in his neck, he rubbed it softly.
"You okay? Something wrong with your neck?" Maurice asked as he walked past.
Wally nodded, "Yeah, I guess I hurt it when...wait...ow!...ah!...Hey! What the crud!"
Maurice had grabbed his face and turned it both ways at a great speed, making it click loudly.
"Better?" He asked.
Wally touched his neck, the pain had gone and felt an easing numb. "Wow, how'd you do that?"
Maurice chuckled. "Four years in teen ninja medical training. I'm not just a spy, I'm a first aider too."
"Wow." Abby sighed dreamily. Hoagie gave her a nudge.
"Aren't you pitching up your tent?" Larry asked, looking at Wally.
Wally glanced over at him and shrugged. "...I have."
The tent was only half up, the material was drooping inside and the tent was on the verge of flying of should a random gust of wind appear.
Larry walked over to help him out. "Look, you've got the structure right, just check that all the poles are together properly, that's probably why it's falling in. And you just forgot to put the pegs in."
"Thanks." Wally said quietly as Larry put it up for him. "I'm not used to this camping thing, I haven't been camping since the last time my grandfather took me."
Kuki looked over as she finished pitching her tent opposite Wally's. "I never met your grandfather, what was he like?"
Wally smiled as he thought back to his grandfather. He lay on his sleeping bag that he'd just put down and thought.
"He was great. He was where I used to go when my parents wouldn't take me anywhere." He laughed.
"I remember when I was eight he used to take me hiking along this stream. One time I found this shiny thing in the water, I picked it up and it was this genuine arrow head...You'd think that I found the remains of the titanic from the way that my grandfather kept going on about it...it wasn't til a few years ago that I found out that it was just some mangled coin that someone dropped. But my grandfather just made me believe that I was the best explorer for finding it."
Kuki gigged.
"He sounds pretty awesome." Jody chuckled, her tent was next to Kuki's and she'd listened in.
Kuki looked over at her.
"Jody, no offence but how did a really pretty teenager like you end up doing mechanics?"
Jody smiled. "Well, my dad always wanted sons, one to run his machine shop, and the other to be an all time boxing champion, but instead he got stuck with me and my sister."
Kuki laughed. "Well what happened to your sister."
"She's 24 with a shot at her title as champ next month." Jody replied. "I'm saving up so that me and my dad can retire and I can own a car repair factory."
"Awesome." Hoagie smirked, raising his eyebrows at her. She rolled her eyes and closed the door to her tent.
Hoagie looked up as Lauren walked towards her tent in a face pack and still wearing her clothes.
"Forget your PJ's?" He asked.
Lauren shook her head. "No I sleep in the nude."
"You guys might want a pair of these." Chad told the kids, tossing them all a spare pair of eye masks. "She sleepwalks."
"What about you Larry?" Nigel asked. "Why are you here?"
Larry gave a yawn as he lay down. "As far as I go, I just like blowing things up and burning stuff."
Maurice scoffed. "Tell the kids the truth Holmes."
Larry sighed. "My family owned this flower shop since I was a kid. We'd sell roses, carnations you name it...anyway, about two years ago as a punishment for something I was making about 3 dozen corsages for this prom, you know those ones that go around your wrist...and everybody just wanted one...it was all 'where is it?' 'when will it be finished?' 'Does it match my dress?'...it was a nightmare...anyway, next door there was this gas station and they had this huge explosion, blew me right across the room. It was like a sign from God. I found my love of fire and explosions...anyway...my gran went crazy, crying that her shop was ruined and all...so I'm here to get her a brand new, modern flower shop."
"Anyway, we'd better get some shut eye." Cree said, picking up her lanton and blowing out the flame. Leaving the place in darkness. "Night guys."
"Night." They all replied.
