The next day, Safiya and her cousin started packing. Since Safiya was an expert on hiking, she was done packing in less than an hour, but her cousin was having some trouble. She was trying to pack an unusual shape into her bag.
"What the hell is that Lavvie?" Safiya asked her cousin, eyeing the object.
"Oh it's a box of letters from Scottie." Safiya groaned.
"What?" her cousin asked, looking up at her innocently as if she had done nothing wrong.
"I swear you are too obsessed with…him." She said in disgust. Lavender gasped.
"I am not! I just like him a lot." Safiya rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, uh-huh. Whatever, I don't give a damn about it anymore." Safiya stormed out of her room, and downstairs to the basement to grab sleeping bags. She walked back upstairs in a huff, and threw them on the bed.
"I'm done. Are you?" she asked her cousin, with an angry voice.
"Almost. I just need to pack this teddy bear that Scottie gave me." Safiya flung herself on the beanbag chair, and exhaled deeply.
"Just stick it in your sleeping bag. Don't you remember we sowed on little pockets in the thing?"
"Oh yeah." Her cousin said, suddenly remembering. She stuck it into the pocket. "Ok, I'm done." Safiya jumped up.
"Good, cause breakfast is ready. Mom made her famous waffles with chocolate chips in them."
"Really?" Lavender squealed.
"Hell ya. I'm surprised that you couldn't smell them."
While the girls bustled downstairs, Larry was just leaving the house. He had told Lizzi that he was going to pick up the boys after getting their rooms ready.
"Remember I'm coming for them at 9:00 am sharp tomorrow morning, ok Lizzi?" She nodded. He wrapped his arms around her, surrounding her into a hug.
"Be careful." She said.
"I'll be ok. I'll see you later. Tell the girls." Larry said as he walked out the door. Just a few seconds after he left, Safiya and Lavender came bouncing down the stairs.
"Mom, can we go for a swim later?" asked Safiya, grabbing an apple from the table.
"Sure." Said her mother. She placed a plate of waffles on the table. "Eat girls. Don't just sit and stare." The girls each grabbed 4 waffles, loading them with syrup. In no more than 5 minutes, they had devoured the waffles and licked the syrup clean off the plate. "I'm guessing you were hungry." Safiya's mom said, shaking her head.
"Hell ya." Both girls said.
Back in Green Lake, Texas, Squid and his friends waited at Squid's house for Squid's uncle Larry. Earlier that day, they had been talking about what they thought they could expect from going to Canada, and what to expect of the girls.
"I heard Canadians say 'eh' a lot. It's like their signature." Caveman said.
"They also end their sentences like questions, even if it's a statement." Added Magnet.
"And, they're all hicks. Country bumpkins. That's what my dad called them." Zig-Zag said, his frosty blue eyes looking everywhere.
"Well whatever Canadians are, I hope the girls are hot." Squid mumbled.
"Wh..at did he s…ay?" asked Twitch.
"He said he wants them girls to be hot." X-ray replied.
Just then, Squid saw a blue rental truck drive up into his driveway. Inside the truck was a man and his Uncle. Squid walked over to the truck, while his uncle came out. "Hey son." Said his Uncle. Squid smiled. "Hey Uncle. Are we leaving now?" he asked. "Yeah. Tell your friends to grab their bags and dump them in the back. I'm gonna tell your mother we're going now." Larry headed back to the house, while Squid told the guys to grab their stuff.
"How we all supposed to fit?" asked Armpit.
"I guess some go in the back and three in the truck." Squid guessed.
"Zero, Twitch and me will go in the back. We're the smallest." Caveman said. The three crawled into the back while the others climbed into the back of the truck.
"Do you all fit?" asked Larry. The boys nodded. "Good. Now after getting off this truck, I'm going to fly you to BC, then to my place."
"I thought we were going to Canada." Zig-Zag said, looking at Larry.
"You fag. BC is in Canada asshole." Armpit reminded him.
"Oh yeah."
Zero shook his head, and continued to look out the window. They drove off for the airport, loaded their stuff into Larry's plane, then headed off to BC, for excitement, adventure fun.
