'So, Ruby, erm well lets just pretend ok? If you were a movie star, going over some scenes for like the next blockbuster........'

'Am! Shut up!' Ruby rolled her eyes.

'I was only asking!' I retorted indignantly.

'Well don't!' laughing Ruby shoved me aside playfully. I pushed her back.

'So where now?' I inquired.

'I dunno really, we've covered every single part of the hotel and grounds, the surrounding land, where else is there to go?!'

'The beach?' I suggested. Ruby shoke her head.

'Too hot!'

'But that's a good thing! What are you like?! You complain when its cold and you complain even more when its blissfully hot!'

Ruby shrugged her shoulders. Suddenly I had a brainwave.

'I've got it!' I burst out.

'Got what? Sunscreen - 'cause i could really do with some more here.......'

'Noooo! I have the perfect place we can go! I'm suprised I didn't think of it before!'

'What is it?' Ruby replied, rather more sarcastically than i expected.

'Well I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but i have some relatives living around here, and I was thinking we could track them down and say 'hi' or something!'

Ruby didn't look too happy. 'What's wrong? Don't you want to meet them?'

'You have relatives here, with whom we could have stayed - saving us a fortune - and you didn't mention it?!'

'Well, er, no I guess I didn't!' I looked up, Ruby looked pretty peeved. 'Hey! We're here now! Lets not dwell on the past! Rose booked it! Come on - please?' I did the best puppy dog impression I could do.

'Oh alright then! But they better not live too far away! My feet are killing me enough as it is!'

'Thank you!' I hugged Ruby and once again we set off through the dust.
