Author's Note: We spent over 100 hand-written pages in Cairo! Now, believe you me, that was not the intended plan when we started writing this. Finally, next chapter, we will be moving on.

A Hint Of Cross References
WITH JAKE & LEGOLAS
"I don't know which on to pick!" Legolas cried.
"I'm sorry. You can only have one."
Legolas looked from one shirt to the other. "This isn't fair!"
"Life isn't fair sometimes."
FAYTHE & ARAGORN
Faythe smiled at Liela. "I'm so proud!"
Aragorn rolled his eyes. "You know, this is going to be a huge problem."
"Why?"
"Why? She scorched her blanket!"
Faythe clearly didn't see the problem. Aragorn sighed. Faythe stared at him, dumbfounded. "You're embarrassed, aren't you?"
"No! I just don't think this is a good thing, that's all."
"What do you mean it's not a good thing? It's a great thing!"
Aragorn sighed and sat down. This was going to be a long trip.
DOWN THE TUNNEL
Sara, Hiei, Kurama, and Taro sped down the passageway. There was a shiny light at the end of it.
"Hey, I think we're going up!" Taro said excitedly.
"Oh, but we were having so much fun," Hiei said sarcastically.
"There they are! Get 'em!" the guards shouted from behind them.
"Sara, now might be a good time to get us out of here," Kurama said quietly.
Sara nodded. "Good idea." She focused on The Nice Hotel and all four of them were lifted from the pyramids to the hotel.
The guards sighed. "We lose more thieves that way."
JAKE/LEGOLAS
"Are you sure that's the one you want?"
"Yes," Legolas said, sighing. "Let's go home."
Jake put his arm around Legolas' shoulders. "I'm proud of you." He thought for a moment. "Home?"
Legolas groaned as he paid for the clothes. "We've been here too long."
"Yeah. Let's find the others. We need to move on."
NICE HOTEL
"What room are they?" Jake asked.
"Thank God for sonar!"
Both Jake and Legolas looked at the child next to them.
"It's Bat Boy!" Legolas said. He was waving his arms frantically. "Take a picture!"
Jake shook his head sadly. "I knew Faythe shouldn't have let you read those magazines. They've gone to your head."
Legolas, however, was too busy digging through his bag for a camera to answer. "Found it! Hey, Ba- Where did he go?"
Jake sighed. "The heat is getting to us. I need a beer."
"Let's go to Faythe's room, then. She knows where ours is and she'll have beer." Legolas pranced down the hallway to Faythe's room and knocked. Aragorn answered, looking tense.
"What?" he asked impatiently.
"Good day to you, too," Legolas replied. "We need beer and directions."
"Well, we have both, depending on where you're going." He frowned. "Where are you going?"
Jake blushed. "To our hotel room."
Aragorn barked a laugh and held the door open wider. "Sorry about the smell. Lee has a bit of…um, well, she-"
"She's a fire demon!" Faythe said from the corner where the cribs were.
Aragorn grimaced. "Yes, she's a fire demon."
Just then, Sara and company burst through the door. "Let's go to Kenya!" Sara exclaimed.
Legolas clapped his hands together. "Ooh, we can go on a safari!"
"And pet the giraffes and the zebras…" Faythe sighed. "When do we leave?"
"Now."
