Tiffany wakes in her bed in the hotel. She looks around, unsure for a moment where she is. She then remembers where she is and calms down. She takes a deep breath and gets up and out of bed. She decides she doesn't want to get changed yet. She walks out of her room, her grey air force shirt and black shorts still on.

She doesn't see Daniel anywhere in the living area, kitchen, or in the bathroom. 'he must still be sleeping' she says to herself and walks over to his room. The door is slightly ajar. She opens it carefully and peers in. She sees Daniel, still asleep, one hand above his head the other across his bare chest.

He looks so peaceful. She carefully closes the door to the position it had been in. She walks to the Living area, and sits on the couch. She turns on the TV and goes channel surfing. She hears the sound of footsteps and turns.

"Daniel?" she asks loud enough so if he was awake, he would hear her. He doesn't answer. She just ignores the sound, he walks out in a black t-shirt and tan shorts. She looks back at him "Good Morning" she says watching him fumble with his glasses. He takes them and puts them up to his face like he's about to put them on.

He notices a smudge and proceeds to clear it off with the hem of his shirt. "Morning" he says as he puts his glasses on and smiles satisfied. She laughs as he turns around. He bends down to pick up a bag that had been on the floor. One with archaeological equipment.

She tries to hide her laugh, but fails. "what?" he asks confused. "Someone tired this morning?" she asks "Me, no why?" he says defending himself as he places the bag on a side table "Your shirt is inside out." she states plainly. "No, it's not" he defends "Yes it is." she insists.

She gets up and walks behind him. She pulls on the tag visible in the back. "See?" she says still pulling it so the back of his collar is slightly lifted off his back. "Hmm" he says furrowing his brow. "So when are we going?" she asks "Um, we're going to stop by that resturant for breakfast whenever you're ready and then we'll head out?" he asks

"Sounds good to me" She says as he checks the bag, making sure they have everything. He realizes he forgot something in his room. "Where are you going?" she asks "I forgot something" he says walking toward his door. "Fix your shirt while you're in there" she yells back teasing him.

Daniel stops and looks back at her, shaking his head and then disappearing into his room. She decides to get dressed. Sooner they left, Sooner they could get out to the pyramids. As she changes into her tan tee and blue jeans she gets an idea. Somehow, she had to take a solo trip to the gift shop before the afternoon.

She takes an elastic and throws her hair in a ponytail, strands in front left to hang, making her look tough, but still attractive. She goes into the living room where Daniel is double checking the things he packed. "I'll be right back ok?" she says to him "OK, yeah" says the very distracted man.

Tiffany walks out of the room and runs down to the gift shop. She looks through the shop, and they just so happened to have swim suits. "Bingo" she says smirking to herself. She grabs the size she guesses Daniel would be. She pays for it, and brings it back to the room. She opens the door to the hotel room. She looks in to make sure that Daniel wasn't looking her way.

She opens the door and walks in, quietly closing the door so she doesn't attract attention. She makes her way to her room and places the gift shop bag in her closet. "Tiff, are you ready to go?" comes Daniel's voice. "Yeah, I'm comin'." She yells from her room gathering some things and putting them into a small backpack. She zippers the pocket, and buttons the bag shut. Draping the bag on her right shoulder she walks out into the living room where Daniel was.

Their tan camo jeep engine roars. They soar over dunes of sand, Tiffany fixes her sun glasses looking quickly over at Daniel. "So where are we going?" she asks. "I figured we'd tour some of the pyramids, let you have a chance to see them, then we'll accompany a dig held by a friend of mine." he says. "Friend like..?" she asks "Like... College days" "Ah, i finally get to see what your college friends were like." she says smiling at him as he spins the steering wheel hard left.

"So what was college like for you? I bet you were a partier" she says sarcastically. "No, no College for me was all studies" he says "Geek" she retorts. "That's funny, I wasn't aware we brought Jack with us" he says looking to the backseat of the Jeep looking for her father. "Haha you're funny" she says smirking at him. "You are a Geek" she says just to see what his reaction would be.

"And you're not?" he asks pointing out the fact that she too enjoyed history and studying artifacts. She nods "Proud of it" she says smiling and looking out in front of them. They approached three large pyramids... Tiffany couldn't believe it, she was finally going to tour the pyramids she had been waiting to tour ever since she was introduced to Daniel, and his obsession with history.
