Short A/N….

I SHOULD go into standup comedy.

It was only a few moments later into our walk and I was bored out of my mind.

It seemed that we had been walking for HOURS on the sandy landscape but it had only been what... five maybe ten minutes?

The only sources of entertainment were the solitary cacti that I would spot on our path every now and then.

Well... there WAS Linzy, but she was busy reading one of her MANY books that she had been carrying around in her backpack-I swear sometimes that thing was bottomless...I mean it did have a sombrero in it after all.

Besides, she'd probably kill me if I suggested singing any travel songs.

So... I simply just settled with saying the same thing over and over again.

"Are we there yet?"

Still no reply from the book worm.

Hmmmm, perhaps I should stop now while I am ahead so that I do not get my face smacked into a hard back copy of 'Lord of the Rings'.

Hmmmm... NAH! "Are we there yet? Linzy, are we there yet? Are we? Huh, are we? Are we there yet, Linzy? Are we? Are we? Are we? Areeeeeeeeeeeeeee weeeeeeeeeeeee? Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh?"

"Of course we're not there yet!" she snapped at me, slamming her book shut in the process so that she could better glare at me with her perfectly developed evil eyes.

"We've only been out here for five minutes! Five!"

" ...I'm thirsty."

She hit her palm to her face and sighed, "Well that's your fault. You're the one who drank your entire share in under thirty seconds."

"NO! It was the leprechaun!" I defended, pointing over to a cactus. "Look! There he is now! Sneaky little beast, look at that smirk. You're lucky Linzy won't let me hurt mythical creatures ever since our trip to the Harry Potter theme park."

"Kass, you slapped a kid who was wearing a house elf costume."

"It was TOTALLY justified, he asked me for my SOCKS! MY SOCKS!"

"... Hey! What's that in the distance?" she asked me Pointing ahead of us as she did so.

I turned my head and blinked a few times. It looked like a... I don't know... a neighborhood... or something like that.

"Maybe it's a mirage." I suggested.

"It wouldn't hurt to check it out." she shrugged.

"True. True. TO THE MYSTERIOUS CITY IN THE DISTANCE!" I shouted before running forward, only to slam into a VERY large-and pointy-cactus in my haste.

"Owwwwww. Linnnnzzzzy, get the peroxide. There's a needle in my face."
