Chapter 6: Sleeping Arrangements
The men set up two tents since that was all they had John brought one for him and Teyla, and Dave brought one for him and Cassie. Dave would have brought another one for Kelley if he knew that John would have a girlfriend. In fact Kelley probably wouldn't even be here if John would have gave a heads up, but Dave thought that it was probably his fault as well as John's so they had to switch up the sleeping arrangements just a little bit.
"Ok girls you take the tent over there and me and John will take this one." Dave said pointing to the smaller tent.
"Why do we get the one closer to the forest?" Kelley asked.
"Because its bigger." John answered. There was no more complaints from Kelley as they all gathered up there stuff and headed to there tents. John dropped his one small backpack on top of his sleeping bag on the left side and laid down. Dave came in after him and laid down on his side of the tent.
"Why did you join the Air Force?" Dave asked out of the blue.
"Were did that come from?" John asked with a little humor in his voice.
"Well I was just thinking that you joined the Air Force so quickly after high school you never said why at least not to me." Dave clarified. John laid there quite for awhile and Dave thought he was going to ignore the question when he started to talk.
"Dad was always putting me under the pressure of walking in his shoes and I never was a business man, well I thought the best way to stay clear of it was to join. Also because I always loved the sky since I was 12." John said.
"12 Isn't that the age you first went up in a plane?" Dave asked.
"No we always went up in planes to go somewhere, age 12 was the first the first time I got to sit in the cockpit while the pilot was flying, even got to fly a little myself." John said.
"Really, wow every time we went up in one of dads planes I thought I was going to be sick." Dave said recalling the memory of what the feeling was.
"That's right you were always in the bathroom on most of those flights right." John said with a humorous tone.
"Yes, yes laugh, I never got used to plans all the movement and turbulence did not go well with my stomach, I still cant handle it to this day." Dave said laughing along with his brother.
"Wait then how do go to conference calls or stuff that you do that you have to go to different cities for?" John asked slightly amused trying not to burst out laughing again.
"Well mostly I try to make the meeting to were I can drive to or at least take a train, cab, or bus. But on the times that don't happen I endure the flight in the plans bathroom, or with a brown bag." Dave said and that did it John started to burst out laughing again, and Dave joined along with him.
Teyla picked up some more of Kelley's stuff from outside and was about to bring it in the tent when she heard John and Dave's laughter she paused and looked at there tent. She then felt a presence behind her.
"I'm glade there finally getting along." Cassie said standing next to Teyla. "Dave has been talking about this trip since he planed it, he's been worried about them not getting along." Cassie clarified.
"Yes John was also worried about the outcome of the trip, He kept saying how everything was going to crash and burn." Cassie looked at her and smiled. "I am also glade they are getting along, let's just hope it lasts." Teyla said and turned back to Cassie right at the time Kelley stepped out of the tent.
"You guy's coming with my stuff? Don't have all day you know." Kelley said in a commanding voice. Teyla looked as if she were on her last straw when Cassie placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Best not do anything rash." Cassie said and then turned around. "Were coming." She said before picking up her pile of Kelley's stuff and Teyla fallowed with hers.
Teyla and Cassie choose to sleep next to each other and Kelley laid her sleeping bag, wait take that back she brought a portable air mattress with her and started pumping air into it. Teyla watched as it started to rise every time Kelley pushed on the handle.
"You seriously brought an air mattress with you?" Cassie asked.
"Yes you guy's can go ahead and sleep on the ground, I on the other hand have back problems and need a mattress to sleep on." Kelley said in a ha, ha tone. Cassie just shook her head and climbed into her sleeping bag. Teyla having no idea what an air mattress was just climbed into her sleeping bag as well.
