Chapter 11
"Where should I go?" Willow asked herself as she shook in fear. She looked around for somebody to tell, but the station was completely deserted. Meanwhile, on the train, everybody was worried for Willow. "Oh don't worry guys, she'll do the right thing" said Mara. "And what is that?" asked Eddie, who was standing up and hanging onto the aluminous green pole. "She'll stay put on the platform and wait for the next train, or, she'll call a taxi, or, she'll ask for help" said Kt, droning on. Everybody stared at her, utterly shocked. "Have you met Willow?" asked Patricia. Joy then stood up and shouted "Hey, that's my cousin", "So, that doesn't exactly make her smart enough to go with any of those options does it?" Patricia replied. "Urgh, well just get off at the next station and go back for her" Said Fabian. "I know" said very excited Amber as she jumped up and down, smiling. Her face then dropped from a smile to a frown, "How about…... We leave her there and enjoy our holiday like we planned?" asked Amber who clearly befriended Willow after finding out about her and Alfie. "No, Amber, that's a stupid idea" Said Eddie, staring at Amber. Back at the station, Willow was having trouble deciding what to do. She then decided to walk out of the train station and ask random people for directions. However, she clearly couldn't recognise who were and were not to be trusted. As soon as she reached the surface, from the underground station, she looked to her left and just saw the terminal she had just left in the distance and then she peered to her right, and spotted a young lady. Willow dodged everything out the way, whilst running at the speed of light to the last known location of this young woman. As Willow got closer and closer, she then realised that in fact the woman was not too young, actually she was about 80. Willow approached the 80 year old, who was wearing a white top and a purple cardigan which she had knitted herself. She had a walking stick in one hand and small handbag in the other. Willow stopped in front of her. "Hello!" She shouted, getting right in the woman's face and waving like a mad person. "Uh, hello? Do I know you?" The white haired elderly asked. "No, but anyway, that is irrelevant, do you know how to get to Venice Holi…?" asked Willow, before stopping and staring into the woman's eyes. "What? What is it?" The woman asked as she began panicking. Willow was silent for 2 minutes, before she began buzzing and cried out "Cypress Oil!" as she spun herself around. "What?" the woman asked, jumping. "There are bag energies; do you have any cypress oil?" Willow asked, staring into the elderly's eyes once again, awaiting her answer. "What a nutjob!" Shouted the old lady, violently swinging her walking stick, but missing her target, willows face, before trudging off back home. "Urgh, well that was no use!" Willow said, leaning down and unzipping her suitcase, pulling out her emergency kit. She zipped back up her bag, and stood up, holding the small bottle of precious oil. She then smiled, a big, bright smile, before swinging herself around to cleanse the air. Meanwhile the rest of the gang where just exiting the train at their destination. They all fell out of the busy train, fighting for reasonable breathing space on the extremely busy platform. Once they had walked up the stairs and left the station, they carried on their conversation. Amber began finishing her sentence, "Look, I'm just saying, I don't want our holiday to get ruined, and all because of a pathetic, dumb and completely…" "Ok, Amber, let's just stop there before you get carried away" Said Eddie, stopping Amber before she began offending Willow. "Look, she'll find us, if not, we'll find her" Said Eddie. "Right, where do we go?" asked Joy, peering left and then peering right. They all decided to walk left. They soon began wandering down the road. "Does anybody actually know where were going?" asked Patricia, staring at her friends. "Uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure that it's this way" Said Kt, pointing forwards. "Eddie, shouldn't you now where were going?" Asked Jerome, "He's got a point, I mean you do live here…" said Fabian, agreeing with Jerome. Mara then spotted a small gift shop on the opposite side of the road. She reached into the back pocket of her jeans and pulled out her purse, before jogging across the road, after checking if there were any cars of course. Safety First. "Mara, where are you going?" joy called. "Mara!" shouted Fabian, watching her enter the small shop. "Urgh, she's probably busy buying calculators and dictionaries, or whatever" Patricia said to mock Maras's passion for learning, although she doesn't have much to learn. "Actually, for your information, we both spent £4 for a dictionary at the airport" said Fabian, smiling, thinking he was a cool kid. "Wow, what a wonderful present for your girlfriend, a dictionary" Said Patricia, waving her arms about. "Patricia, just Shh" Said Eddie, putting one finger over his own mouth. They then saw Mara exciting the shop, with a square piece of paper in her hand. She ran back across the road, and met up with her group. "What's that?" asked Patricia, staring at the paper, with a puzzled look. "Is it alien related?" asked Alfie, trying to snatch it, but Maras reflexes were just too good. "Dur, it's a map" Mara informed them, as she unfolded it. She spent about 5 minutes unfolding the gigantic map. "Why is it so big?" asked Jerome. "LA is a big place" Fabian replied. Mara carried on unfolding it, more and more. "OK, I can't remember a time when this wasn't happening" said Patricia, getting more and more annoyed. Finally, Mara unwrapped the massive map, and to see it whole, she layed it on the wide pavement. It looked almost like they were having a group picnic, in the middle of the path. They all stared at it in disgust for about 20 seconds. "What the heck?" asked Eddie, looking up at Mara. "I don't understand that, at all, Mara?" asked Joy, also looking up at Mara. "Oh, guys, come on! It's easy, that is the north which means that we are right here, which makes our destination an exact right angle away from us, at 90 degrees, which should be about 25 minutes considering the circumference being measured from here making the resort right around here which should be just…Wait let me work this out…." Mara thought in her head, whilst everybody else was deeply confused. "OK, pi x 2 cubed equals to the same measurement as that which divided by pi to the power of 24.00924 is the same as 45.35678, x 86 which is that which plus that equals that divided by that equals that and put as the perfect circle diameter would make that the circumference divided by that equals 90 and in relation to the cyclic quadrilateral circle theorem, we can halve and turn that into two equal Pythagoras theorems, so that is square root 25.009 squared plus 77.88 squared with would equal that and if we convert the fraction into a decimal it would be that, which put into minutes and seconds, 60 seconds and minutes, so that would be that and that would be, aha, Yes, around 20-30 minutes in that direction!" Mara said, smiling a bright smile, before she trudged off, dragging the huge map behind her. Everybody else was still staring at her like she was mad. "Did anyone actually understand that?" asked Kt, with wide eyes. "No, what in the name of god are pi, and this whole circumference thing?" Asked Jerome, with his mind totally jumbled up due to Mara's crazy knowledge. "Fabian?" asked Amber, hitting Fabian's arm. "Ok, I may be smart but I am not the valedictorian, I have no idea what on earth she was just talking about!" Fabian chuckled. After a half an hour walk, the whole group had all arrived at the caravan resort. They strolled into the main reception. "Is this it?" asked Patricia, looking at the reception like it was a piece of crap. "Ewe, I don't want to stay here for a week, look, it's all manky and nasty!" Patricia said, rubbing her finger over the stained window, when the door slammed behind her. "EW!" Kt pulled a face. "Amber?" Asked a familiar, voice whom Amber had recognised as soon as she heard it. The whole gang turned and immediately their faces lit up, when they saw….
