Episode 16---Inca Mummy Girl (Yeah, this one was clearly the universe paying me back for an easy #1).
"Trent, remind me again why we agreed to double-date with Cody and Sadie."
"…I think we were drunk."
"Neither of us drink."
"Then we were obviously just stupid."
He grinned at her; Gwen resisted, but was finally forced to grin back at him. Cody and Sadie walked ahead of them, the former talking incessantly; for once it was Sadie who was quiet, listening (or at least pretending to).
"Well, the real mistake was letting Cody pick where we went," Trent muttered.
Gwen nodded. "I mean, really, the history museum? An art museum I could see, but…"
"His first choice was a sci-fi convention."
"Guess I shouldn't complain, then."
Gwen watched the two walking ahead of them, arms hooked together. She frowned slightly. This was just too much a geek's excursion; Cody seemed to be enjoying herself, but Sadie, like her and Trent, seemed to only be politely interested in any of the exhibits.
"You know, I'm glad those two are dating," Gwen commented, "not least because he's not crushing on me anymore---but I can't help but wonder what they see in each other."
"Oh, EW!"
She and Trent jumped as Sadie squealed, jumping back from the case she had been peering into. "What is that?!"
"It's an Incan mummy, apparently," Cody said, reading from the little sign by the exhibit.
"Ew! It's so gross!" Sadie said, recoiling.
"Don't be scared," Cody said, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and grinning slyly.
"I'm not scared!" she said defensively. "It's just so---gross and ugly!"
Cody frowned, eyes drifting back to the sign. "Really? 'Cause it says here that Incan mummies were actually chosen to be the most beautiful girls."
"What?"
"Yeah," he said, pointing to the sign. "It says here that the Incans would pick out the best and most beautiful girl, and then sacrifice her to the gods."
"Ugh," Sadie said, shuddering. "That's not the right way to treat your pretty girls!"
Cody, however, was giving Sadie a (in his mind) shrewd look, wriggling his eyebrows at her. She frowned at him. "What?"
He leaned his head down on her shoulder. "'Best and most beautiful girl'…that makes you my Inca mummy girl."
Sadie gasped. "Aww…!"
She leaned down and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He grinned. Several feet behind them, Trent raised and eyebrow and leaned toward Gwen.
"I think I know what he sees in her."
"She's the only one his pick-up lines will work on?"
"Yeah."
Yeah...it was a little hard to make something out of a prompt like this, but I hope this turned out alright. Probably inaccurate, though; I think Incan mummies were just the richest and most important people, but the Buffy episode made it sound kind of like this, so I went with that. Except for the coming-to-life-and-killing-people part.
