Chapter 8 – Detours

"Hey. Um, Creed," Kevin said quietly, "I have to go."

Angela, with her stellar hearing, heard him talking to Creed.

"Kevin," She scolded unsympathetically, "We were just at McDonalds, why didn't you go then?"

"I didn't have to go back then, Angela," He replied.

"Don't worry, blondie," Creed told Angela calmly, "It's no problem, we can find somewhere to stop and Kevin can do his business."

Kevin looked relived, and Angela looked annoyed.

"Ohmigosh!" Kelly exclaimed from her seat towards the middle of Old Bessie, "Creed! Can we stop in San Francisco for Kevin to use the bathroom? We're almost there right now, and there are so many shops and places and –"

"Yeah!" Michael, who had made a miraculous recovery from his headache, chimed in, "We have to hang out in San Francisco; it would be the perfect detour!"

Creed shrugged, "Ok."


"At Disneyland," Phyllis told the camera, "I really like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
"I've actually never been to Disneyland before, so I don't really have a favorite ride," Oscar said to the camera, "But I have heard great things about Space Mountain."
"I can't believe we're going to San Francisco!" Kelly happily exclaimed to the camera, "This is so awesome!"
Creed found parking near a sandwich shop. Kevin went into the sandwich shop to use their restroom.

"Ok!" Michael exclaimed, "You guys go off and do whatever you want, but be back here by 9:00; it's 6:00 now, that gives you three hours. Have fun!"

Everyone exited Old Bessie. Meredith took off in the direction of a nearby bar.

"I don't know where I should go, there are so many places," Phyllis said, looking lost.

"Phyllis!" Kelly told her, "You should totally come to Pier 39 with me!"

Phyllis smiled, "Alright."

"Well," Michael said, "I think I will go into that sandwich shop, find Kevin, and grab a bite to eat."

"Count me in!" Andy exclaimed.

"Hey Beasley," Jim said to Pam, "Follow me."

"Ok, where are we going to go?"

"You'll find out soon enough," He grinned, "Now c'mon."


Dwight and Angela walked, hand in hand, in Golden Gate Park.

"Monkey?"

"Yes, Dwight."

"What is your favorite ride at Disneyland?"

"I've never been to Disneyland before, D."

"Really? Well, I shall have to show you all the high spots when we get there."

"Like Star Tours?"

"Yes, like Star Tours."


"Jim, are we almost to our destination? Wherever that might be?"

"Patience is a virtue, Beasley...and, if you look strait ahead, you'll see where we're going."

"Oh, Jim! The Cheesecake Factory? Really?"

"Yep...I know how you've been wanting to go to the one in Scranton."


"What did I do while in the city?" Oscar replied to the cameraman's question later that night when they were back in Old Bessie, "Well, I went to Golden Gate Park...and I saw Dwight and Angela making out. It was...weird."
Well! Who knew that Kevin needing to use the restroom could cause a whole afternoon of fun in San Francisco? They'll get to The Best Place on Earth soon, I promise, but, if you review, they'll get there faster ;).
