"Right you lot, welcome to Scotland." Guy announced as he stood at the front of the coach. "Is everyone awake?" He queried.
"Just about." Harry joked as he turned around to look at a very groggy and sleepy Mo who Mr T had just woken up.
"Right, I'm just going to check us in and find out which cabin we're in so I want you lot to get your bags out and don't leave anything on the coach." He announced before he got off of the coach and headed into the fog. They could just about see the reception because the name of the hotel was written in lights.
"Knowing our luck, we're gonna be in the cabin furthest away from here." Michael stated as he stood up and stretched his legs. "Sacha. Hey Sacha wake up." Michael said as he gently hit his arm to wake him. "We're here." Michael stated as Sacha looked at him blankly, still with the pen drawn features on his face. Everyone had agreed before hand to remain normal and not to laugh at Sacha. That way, he would have the pen on his face for longer.
"Oh, great." Sacha smiled as he too stood up and picked his coat up which he had been using as a blanket. Everyone pulled back the curtains to see nothing but a thick fog.
"How the hell are we supposed to walk through that tomorrow?" Michael moaned.
"It'll have lifted by morning." Jonny stated loudly from the middle of the coach. Jac hadn't yet gotten up; she couldn't be bothered.
"Oh yeah, and you can say that for definite Maconie?" Michael queried.
"Aye, you can tell. Trust me, there's been fogs a lot, lot thicker than this." Jonny replied. Michael grumbled something before the lot at the back headed off of the coach, Zosia had already gotten her and Guy's hiking bag and was standing close to the coach so that she didn't get lost.
"C'mon, up you get." Jonny smirked as he pulled Jac up. "Oh, and don't forget we've got to go food shopping." He stated and Jac moaned as the pair headed to the front of the coach and then they carefully went down the stairs and onto the gravel road. "What do you fancy for dinner?" Jonny queried as he grabbed his hiking bag from underneath the coach. He slung it on his backed then got Jac's too and held that one in his hand. Luckily, it was quite lighter than his one; he had the Trangia for cooking and he had obviously brought more layers than her. He assumed that she hadn't brought enough for Scotland's harsh weather. At that moment in the thick fog, it was around 6°C and everyone except Jonny was freezing. He had on a base layer, a shirt, two jumpers and a coat. He could still feel the cold, but not as much as the others.
Jac ignored him because she was feeling grouchy, and she was looking about the place, squinting through the thick fog when she noticed Sacha's face.
"Sacha you-"
"Jac how're you feeling today?" Michael interrupted as he flashed his eyes at Jac so that she wouldn't tell him.
"Nice try spence. Sacha, Michael thought it'd be funny to draw a moustache, goatee and unibrow on you." Jac stated much to Michael's annoyance.
"Oh c'mon Naylor." Michael moaned. "Since when have you been nice?"
"To you? Never. So I thought I'd ruin your little joke." Jac smirked smugly and Jonny just shook his head in amusement at her.
"Oh just admit it, you like Sacha." Michael teased.
"Yeah, I like Sacha. As a friend. Who wouldn't?" Jac stated which made Michael shut up and the turn around to talk to the others.
"Thank you Jac." Sacha smiled as he joined Jac and Jonny after he had licked his fingers and wiped all of the ink off. "Has it gone?" He queried. Jac lifted her hand and wiped of a little smudge from his chin with her thumb.
"It has now." Jac stated.
"Thanks. So you alright? Have a nice little nap you two?" Sacha said cheekily.
"Oh I didn't sleep, I was thinking about baby names." Jonny stated.
"Lemma guess, you came up with Agnes? Lassie? Or how about Moira?" Jac joked.
"Haha, very funny." Jonny said sarcastically.
"So what did you come up with?" Jac asked curiously.
"I'm not sure really. I kind of like Faye." Jonny admitted and Sacha scrunched his face up; Jonny had made a big mistake.
"Like hell am I naming my baby Faye." Jac stated angrily.
"Jac, he doesn't know, just forget it yeah?" Sacha said as he stroked Jac's arm to calm her down.
"What's wrong with that?" Jonny shrieked.
"I'll tell you later." Sacha whispered.
"No you won't." Jac stated. Sacha put his hands up in mock surrender and Jac backed down. She folded her arms across her chest and huffed.
Guy came out of the fog with a folder with some paperwork in, along with a young lady who had a bright, big, LED torch which was making it easier to see in the Fog. "Oh, you've got my bag for me." Guy smiled as he took it off of Zosia and swung it onto his back. "Thanks." He added. "Right ladies and gents, are we all ready?" He shouted, he then looked around and through the fog, he could see that everyone had their bags on their bags (except Jac but Jonny had it for her) so he decided to proceed. "Okay then, I think we're all set." He smiled to the young lady.
"Okay, if you'd like to follow me." She said in a soft Scottish accent- much unlike Jonny's thick accent- and she headed off down a pathway. "Keep up please, I'd rather not lose anybody." She announced jokily as she used the torch to find the pathway in front of her. There was grass either side of the pathway; they could see about 2m around them but no further.
Sacha and Michael elbowed each other and winked as they looked at the Scottish woman in a black jumper and a grey work trousers. She was of average height with bright ginger, curly, shoulder length hair.
It was only a few minutes before the arrived on a wooden veranda in front of a log cabin. "Right, this place is yours for the night." The Scottish lady explained as she gave the small set of keys to Guy. "There's three rooms with two double beds in each of them, there's a lounge and a kitchen and all of the bedrooms and the lounge have a working fireplace. The chopped wood is in a store room inside. And you have to have checked out by 9am tomorrow morning." She explained as everyone gathered on the veranda. Jac was slightly out of breath- despite the fact that she didn't carry a bag- but she was trying to hide it. At the same time, she didn't want to faint she she had to breath deeply to a certain extent. "Any questions at all?" She queried.
"Um, just one. How do we get to the local supermarket?" Guy asked.
"Oh if you go up to the road where your coach is, turn right and it's about 10 minutes down the road. It's a tescos and you'll see it when you get near it despite the fog; it's pretty big." She smiled.
"Okay, thank you very much." Guy smiled.
"No worries, if you need anything or have any questions, just pop over to reception and we'll see what we can do." She smiled before she left. Guy opened the door and he let everyone else enter before him. He then closed the door behind him to keep the heat in, though the cabin wasn't actually warmer than outside.
Thanks for reading, will it be a crap, damp cabin scattered with bugs without any wood and freezing cold? Or will it be a wonderful log cabin with wonderful fireplaces and comfortable furniture? (Yeah right!)
