Walking out of the nearest Richards sporting goods, get it? Huh?, anyway, Amanda was bogged down with everything they bought.
"Oww, you guys! Why do I have to carry all the equipment?" She said out of breath.
"Well it was your idea so you got the brains and this will get you some brawn," Megan said with a shake of smart ass. This is as you should remember, a little more than a dash, but a little less than a spoonful.
"Just get over it and put the crap in the trunk, we need to go set up camp and see that museum before they close," Jessica said sternly, not having time to properly bust Amanda's preverbal balls.
"How much longer," whined Misha from the back seat of the impala, as he was updating his twitter status.
"If you don't shut up I'm gonna come back there and break your thumbs so you can't tweet anymore," Jensen threatened.
"My Minions! No, they need me!" Misha said frantically. Then he tweeted, " I may or may not have use of thumbs soon. If you don't hear from me, you know what happened."
"C'mon guys, don't start arguing now, we haven't even made it past the city limits yet," Jared said calmly as if he was the parent of two squabbling kids.
"He started it, "Jensen said while looking in the rearview mirror at Misha.
"No you did," retaliated Misha.
"No you!"
"Nuh uh, you!"
"Nooo you!"
"GUYS," Jared yelled before things got too out of hand. "Stop it, seriously."
"Well ya know—"Misha began before he got interrupted by a car horn blasting behind them.
"Man, they must be in a hurry," observed Jared as the car behind them began to pass them.
"Uhh Jessica? Could you slow down, just a tad maybe?" Amanda yelled from the back seat as Jessica started to pass a very familiar car.
"NO TIME," she yelled back.
"Hey, where have I seen that car before?" Megan pointed to the black blur next to them.
"Damn! That car needs to slow the hell down!" Jensen said as he grabbed the wheel tighter.
"What do you expect? That was a car full o' chicks," Misha pointed out.
"What? Chicks? Full? In a car?" Jensen stuttered out as he put his foot down on the accelerator.
"No man! We can't chase a car full of girls today," Jared said firmly.
"Aww but—" Jensen started to protest,
"We don't have time to do this, we have places to be, bigfoots to catch 'member?"
"Um, I'm gonna have to say this is a two against one situation," Misha piped in.
"What are you talking about?" Jared asked looking back at him.
"Dude…I'm all for the chick chasing!" Misha smiled.
"HIGH FIVE!" Jensen laughed as he put his hand behind his head so Misha could give him a proper high five.
Jared sighed, "Am I the only one who thinks with his upstairs brain around here?"
After a moment pause, Jensen answered him, "Yeah, that's why you're crabby."
"Yeah, Mr. Grouch," added Misha.
Once they passed the black blur Jessica accelerated even more.
"I think I'm gonna hurl…" Megan whined while clutching her stomach.
"Hey, I know where I've seen that car!" Amanda said with excitement but Jessica and Megan ignored her.
"Sorry Megan but we've got 3 hours until sunset. That museum closes in an hour and I want to set up the tent in at least a little bit of light. So, SHUT UP and hurl in your shoe if you must. And MANDA, turn around and face the right way." Jessica yelled at both girls.
Megan and Manda crossed their arms and huffed in unison as Jessica kept speeding down the road.
"…Do you want Kripke to have our ass or would you like to get some ass?" Jared said in the same sense he might have said, 'checkmate.'
Knowing they were defeated, Misha and Jensen just groaned. "You win this round Padalecki," said Misha, crushed.
"Yeah I guess you're right. It wouldn't matter anyway because that ass is long gone," Jensen pointed in front of their car, to the now empty road.
"Let's just do our job guys and then we can focus of extracurricular activities," Jared said sympathetically.
"Fine captain buzz kill," muttered Misha.
The boys continued their trek into Bigfoot country as their minds all drifted elsewhere.
The girls made it to the museum with time to spare. Upon further inspection of the building however, they thought maybe this wasn't the right place.
"You know, for this to be about Bigfoot it's awfully—"Megan began,
"Small…" Amanda finished for her.
"This can't be right," Jessica said under her breath as she got the map out of the car and placed it on the hood so they could all get a good look at it.
After a few seconds of looking the girls realized that yes, this tiny building was in fact, the Bigfoot museum of Northern California.
"It looks closed," Amanda observed as she walked slowly to the door to look through the tiny window that was embedded in it.
As soon as the words left her lips the door came rushing open which caused it to hit her in the face and send her flying back down the steps leading up to it.
"MANDA!" Megan and Jessica both yelled as they ran to help their friend.
"Oh good golly gosh, I didn't see her," they heard a small old voice say.
Amanda was holding her nose as she looked up to see a frail looking old woman coming out of the doorway. She felt Jessica and Megan help her up by her arms.
"Well anyone with eyes could have seen her---," Megan started to say as she looked up to the woman, but as soon as she saw her she shut her trap.
The frail old woman wasn't only old, but she was also blind.
The old woman chuckled, "I'm sure someone with eyes could have seen her…"
Megan gave a slight giggle as she responded to the woman, "Sorry…do you happen to have a glass of water?"
"Why, yes, I have some bottled water inside. Why do you ask honey?"
"I just need something to wash my foot down with," Megan whispered.
Jessica cleared her throat before she spoke, "Um hi, I'm not sure if we are in the right place. Is this the Bigfoot Museum?"
A huge smile broke out across the woman's face as she spoke, "Yes, yes it is! Are you Bigfoot fans?"
The three girls looked at each other before Amanda was the first to speak, "Uh, yes, I guess you could say we are "big" fans hahaha."
She and the old woman were the only ones to laugh at her pun.
"Well c'mon on in and have a look around! I'm Thelma by the way," Thelma smiled as she reached her hand out in the air.
Still trying to recover from her blunder, Megan was the first to step up and introduce her self to Thelma, followed by Amanda and then Jessica.
"Anything you ever wanted to know about Bigfoot is in this museum and Megan honey, follow me and I'll get you that bottle of water," Thelma said to all of them once they were all inside.
"How did you know it was me who said that?" Amanda and Jessica heard Megan ask, as Megan and Thelma disappeared to the back of the tiny building.
"Anything we've ever wanted to know about Bigfoot is here huh?" Jessica mumbled as she looked at the room.
"Apparently there isn't a lot to know," Amanda said glumly as she took in the room.
There was nothing really to take in. There were a few glass cases that had little Bigfoot knick knacks here and there with description cards under them, and that was about it. Except, Amanda and Jessica finally noticed, for the big class case in the middle of the room.
"Is that?—" Jessica started to ask before Thelma interrupted,
"Yep, that's Bigfoot's foot imprint."
Megan about choked on her water as she looked down at the colossal imprint. "That easily has to be a size 22."
"You know what they say about big feet…," Amanda laughed as the three girls started to snicker.
"What? What do they say about big feet?" Thelma asked unknowingly.
"Oh, big feet means big coc—"Amanda was then hit in the stomach by Jessica causing her to grunt.
"—shoes. Big feet mean big shoes."
"…That makes sense," Cackled Thelma.
"Thelma…when did this imprint get here?" Megan questioned as she ignored Amanda and Jessica, who were in the midst of a punching and slapping war.
"Ohhh my, gotta be at least 50 years ago. My husband and I discovered it while on a hike through those woods down the road and found it." Thelma remembered.
"What? Woods down the road?" Inquired Jessica as she stopped, momentarily, from giving Amanda a noogie.
"Yes, about a mile or two down the road is the "Henry Cowell Redwoods"…woods. That's where we found this imprint…and…once…I swear we saw him."
Amanda popped up out of Jessica's grasp with her eyebrows raised, "you saw Bigfoot?"
"My eyesight was still sharp back then, but yes. My husband and I saw him in those very woods. There are lots of people who come by here saying they saw him in those woods."
The three girls looked at each other with big eyes. "Are there any hotels around here?" Megan asked with a lump in her throat.
"I'm afraid not but there is a lovely camp site out in the Henry Cowell woods," Thelma finished with a smile.
"You mean they put up camp sites where there have been Bigfoot sightings?" Jessica asked in shock.
Thelma answered her with an enthusiastic, "Yep!"
Jessica, Megan and Amanda all looked out the window as they could see the redwood woods in the distance. All of them started to shudder as the camera zoomed in on the trees and the music got louder and more dynamic----oops, wrong writing format.
"Turn left in about a mile and the "Henry Cowell Redwoods" woods should be there," Jared said as he folded the map up.
Misha cleared his throat before he began to speak, "Jensen, I cannot for the life of me, understand why you do not have a GPS system in your car. We don't live in the dark ages anymore, embrace the future!"
"Mish, I would like to quote a very handsome man who said something like, "Be quiet and for the last time I don't want to douche up my car with technology!"
"Savage…" Misha mumbled under his breath.
"Your in a losing battle on the subject Misha, I've been trying to get Jen here to get all kinds of nice upgrades for this car. CD player, IPod dock, GPS…he aint going with any of it," Jared said, shaking his head as he remembered the many fights him and Jensen had gotten in about those things.
"You damn Skippy I aint going for any of it! You can't mess with this classic…it would almost be….sacrilegious," Jensen finished on a somber note. Then he started to rub his dash and said in a lovingly voice, "It's okay baby, I won't ever let anyone do that to you...ever," he finished with a kiss on the wheel as they continued down the road.
