Chapter 2

An Amtrak train en route to

San Francisco, CA

Mary looked out the window of the speeding train. Smoothing her dress, she

walked back to the cafeteria and ordered. "Scuse me, m'am, could y'all fix me up a veggie burger really quick like?" The hassled women grabbed a frozen veggie burger and threw it in the microwave, before taking the girl's money

and stuffing it into a cash register. She shoved a dinky plastic tray in

Mary's face with a veggie burger and a few limp garnishes. She quickly moved

as a man shouted at her to " Git out of the way, you southern vegetarian." He

spit the last word with more scorn than the roughest girls in Mary's class

could muster, causing Mary to shrink away and quickly return to her seat on

the swaying train. Just as she was finishing her burger, the train banged to

a stop, almost causing her to relieve her stomach of the burger. She stepped

off and glanced around, before noticing the taxi ready to take her to the

Golden Gate Hotel.

A limoen route to

San Francsico, CA

"Are we there yet?" Jason whined to the limo driver from his reclined

position in the backseat. The limo driver just raised the barrier between

him and the backseat. Jason sighed and looked through his scrapbook from his

recent movie, but he soon got bored and fell asleep, only to awake to the

grand sight of the Golden Gate Hotel.

JFK Airport (ASGT: We were there! They had those funky walls that you could climb on!)

New York City, NY

Alex had set an appointment with the head of the contest, and was now

waiting at the airport for his chance. He couldn't afford to get on the

plane, so he had to sneak on. He avoided showing his boarding pass at

security, and he didn't have a bag to check. He was waiting in the lobby,

when they announced large group and small child boarding. He noticed a huge

group, and he knew that the attendents wouldn't notice an extra person, so

he slipped in the middle of the group and got on the plane. He settled into

the first class seat he had managed to snag, and settled down to sleep for

the long plane ride.

When he woke up, someone had taken him off the plane and brought him to the

hotel. He stood and waited for his room assignment. ~*~
