Sorry that it's taken so long to write this chapter but I've haven't been very inspired lately. I don't have lunch with Tosha and Mia anymore so I don't get enough hyper time. And I had most of this chapter planed out in my notebook but it disappeared at the boys and girls club when I was volunteering a few weeks ago so I've been a bit too depressed to get back into writing.
I hope to start updating at a regular pace now that I have more time (tennis is over…). Anyways, thanks as always for reading and I always love reviews :) ~Crystal
Chapter 7 – Walking
The sun had finally come up and we were at least 4 hours into the trip. We were walking now, no longer sitting in those uncomfortable saddles.
"I'm bored!" whined Tosha.
"Too bad!" I was getting annoyed with them and we still had the rest of the day ahead of us.
"I'm bored!" whined Riley.
"How about we play a game of questions?" suggested Nani.
"Cool." Tosha stopped whining.
"Okay. I'll be the questioner." I thought for a second. "Tosha's first."
"Yay!" she cheered.
"What's your favorite song?"
"Thrift Shop!"
"What's your relationship with Riley?"
"Broshephs!" Riley and Tosha fist-bumped
"Since kindergarten." Added Riley
"What are your weaknesses?"
"Heights and tight spaces. I have claustrophobia."
"Really? I didn't expect that." I paused "Hmm. If you could kill one person, and I mean anybody, who would it be?"
" Jacob Black because my mom's team Jacob."
"What's the meaning of life?"
"To live, I don't know…"
"Alright. Nani's dying in a hole and there's a dragon next to her. You can only pick one, who do you pick?"
"You better watch your answer." Threatens Nani
"I would hop on the dragon and say in a funny accent 'Giddy up horsey' then scoop up Nani and heal her in the sky." Tosha answered confidently.
"I'm not sure that's how it works." Comments Mia.
I'm pretty sure we got a few odd looks for the fellowship at the mention of dragons and people dying in holes… but that could have just been my imagination.
"Riley's turn."
"Let's do this."
"What's the meaning of life?"
"42"
"Weaknesses?"
"Tomatoes."
"I thought it was garlic and sunlight." Tosha said.
"Nope, it's tomatoes."
"If you could kill one person who would it be?"
"Bella Swan. She ruins everything."
I nod "Good choice. Mia's dying in a hole and there's a dragon next to her. You can only pick one, who would you pick?"
"If it was Toothless then I'd chose him and then he'd be super nice and save Mia for me."
"I like that answer." Smirks Mia.
"Favorite song?"
"Thrift Shop."
"What's your relationship with Lexi?"
"I love her… In a non-awkward friendly way."
"I love you too." Smiles Lexi
"I think it's Lexi's turn now."
"Yay."
"Lexi, what is your weakness?"
"I can't make a straight face." She admits.
"Is that a weakness or just a short coming?" asks Tosha
I just shrug "I don't really care either way. Next question, what's your favorite song?"
"Any country song."
"You're supposed to pick one." Tosha pointed out.
"But it's too hard to pick just one!"
"Anyways…if you could kill one person who would it be?"
"Brad Pit."
"What?! Why?" exclaimed Riley "Brad Pit's…" I put my hand over Riley's mouth."Stop questioning everything she says!"
"But all of her answers are quite questionable." Insists Tosha.
"So, Lexi, what is the meaning of life?"
"Happiness!" she flashes that innocent smile that makes it impossible to say anything bad about her answer.
"Moving on. Nani's turn."
"Let's do this." Nani looks at me with playful determination.
"What is the meaning of life?"
"Starting out with the hardest one. Hmm… Everything!"
"That's a viable answer I guess. What's your favorite song?"
"Anything by Maroon 5."
"Great choice." Tosha gives her a thumbs up.
"If you could kill one person who would it be?"
"Tosha and Jeff."
Tosha seemed a little insulted by the answer. "I have two problems with that. One, that's TWO people and two, what the hell Nani!?"
Nani shrugs "You two count as one person in my mind."
"Let's move on. Nani what are your weaknesses?"
"The rain, it blocks my wiz…" I clamped my hand over her mouth
"Do not mention that here!" I whisper yell.
"Ohhhh, I didn't think about that." Nani rubs the back of her head "Sorry 'bout that."
"Good save Cierra." Mia gives me a thumbs up.
"Thanks. Okay, who's next?"
Jeff coughs into his fist.
"Ohh! That's right, Jeff's turn. If you could kill one person who would it be?"
"Death…"
"What was that?"
"Death the Kid or Zuko."
"Why would you do something sooo horrible?!" Mia cried out
"To keep you from fangirling all the time!" Jeff shouts back.
A few people turn to stare at the two. If this was one of Mia's shows I'd be sweat dropping right now.
"That's enough yelling." I got in between the two of them. "Let's continue with a friendly game that doesn't include shouting."
"Fine." Mia pouted
"Jeff, what are your weaknesses?"
"You assume that I have more than one? Jeez…" he stroked his imaginary beard "Bullets, zombies and narcoleptic puppies."
"Narcoleptic puppies…?"
"Oh! And Cocalopes."
"Cocalopes?"
"A coconut mixed with a cantaloupe." He explained
"Okay then… what's your favorite song?"
"Radioactive."
"What's the meaning of life?"
"42"
"What's 42 mean?" asks Lexi
"Oh Lexi." Tosha shook her head.
"What?"
"It's the answer to the world and the universe." I told her
"Ohhhh, okay…"
"She doesn't get it." Mia pointed out
"She doesn't get a lot of stuff." Tosha said
"Be nice. She's just sheltered."
"That's true." Riley agreed
"Okay, last question for Jeff. How long are you and Tosha going to hide the fact that you're dating?"
Jeff's eyes got REALLY big.
"Don't think we couldn't tell." Riley said, crossing her arms.
"Were we that obvious?" Tosha asks
"Yah." Lexi nods
"See, even Lexi knew! That's pretty obvious." Mia points out
"So how long were you gonna try and hide it?" asks Nani
"About a month or two longer." Jeff admits
"You know the average teen relationship lasts six weeks. You two would have murdered each other before two months were up." I told them and it's highly possible that they will still annoy each other to death.
"You guys have no faith in us."
"That's because you try and hide your relationship from us."
"Because you guys would have made a big deal out of it." Explains Tosha
"But that's what friends do."
I nod my head, "I agree with Nani."
Our discussion was interrupted by screams coming from over the next hill.
"Hey guys, I think we forgot something…"
Does that shock anyone or did the readers see that coming? Tosh and Jeff got together in real life so I had to throw that in there and this was the only way I could do it. The action is back in the next chapter, this was a filler to get me back into the swing of things. Thanks for reading, and as usual leave a review! They mean a lot to me :)
