Room69, Amy and Alyssa
"Hey AJ?" Noah called, grabbing his bag.
"You ready? Everyone's here!"
Alyssa came through the door, cheering with Amy.
"Whoooop! Let's goooo!"
AJ
"Alright, alright, alright..." AJ murmured, lugging a bag into the room.
She dumped it by the door, then moved some hair out of her face.
"Are you sure we can't take my drum set?" she whined, looking up.
Noah and Alyssa
"Pretty sure," Noah said, chuckling.
He grabbed AJ's bag.
"So where are we going? Did we decide this?" Alyssa asked.
AJ
"It's a surprise," AJ grinned, scratching Noah's neck slightly.
"Let's just say... somewhere you've never been before."
Adam and Amy
"Well, if I'm porting us... I'll need something to go on," Adam said.
"I didn't bring much dosh, but I figured that would be ok, seeing as Noah's around," Amy said.
AJ
"Oh, just take us to Perth," AJ waved him off.
"I know the way from there. It was three years ago, but I'm sure I'll remember."
Room69
"Reassuring," Pete commented.
"Ok, let's go."
Adam concentrated and ported them all to Perth.
AJ
AJ blinked, then raised her eyebrows.
"Ok, looks like it's going to be dark soon... Time difference is really annoying at times..."
Noah
"So what's the plan?" Noah asked.
He looked around slowly.
AJ
"You find us a car..."
AJ tapped his nose.
"And we go from there."
Noah
"I can do better than that... I can make us some. How many, do we wanna all just pile in a van? Or shall I make a few?" Noah asked.
"AJ, what do ya reckon?"
AJ
AJ shrugged.
"I'm fine either way. Depends how comfortable you guys are gonna be."
Then she hesitated,t hinking that statement over.
"Maybe it'd be better with two cars."
Room69
"Let's go three," Adam suggested.
"You up for it, Noah?"
Noah nodded.
"Yeah, I'll have to rest up a bit after it though. AJ, you right to drive? If not, Pete can come with us for the first leg of this," Noah said.
AJ
"Why, you paranoid?" AJ nudged Noah.
"Slackass. Making me do all the work. I'll drive."
Noah, Adam and Chris
"Me, slack? I'm making the cars. Ok, what kinda car you guys want?" Noah asked.
"Anything that'll go over the road, go for it," Adam said.
"I'm with Adz. But can it be hell cool inside?" Chris asked.
Noah nodded and focused on building 3 cars. All with four wheel drive, comfortable seats and good sound systems.
He breathed heavily.
"Ok, done. Pick your vehicle guys."
AJ
"Blue! Mine!" AJ pounced on the 4WD.
She got into the driver's seat and chucked the bag she'd brought with her into the back.
Room69
Noah hopped into the passenger seat, and the others got into their cars.
"Lead the way, AJ!"
AJ
"Alright..."
AJ looked around for a moment, comprehending where she was, before starting the car and beginning to lead them out of the suburbs.
She got onto the Brookton Highway, then settled back into her seat.
Noah
Noah flipped on the stereo and put one of his CDs in.
"Where are we going?"
AJ
"Across the Nullarbor. Duh," AJ replied.
She leant over and turned the volume up.
"It'll take anywhere between three days and a week."
Noah
"Troops will most likely get hungry soon," Noah said.
"And I don't know how much more I'm gonna be able to create tonight."
AJ
"Stuff them," AJ insisted.
"Get some sleep. They should have eaten before we left."
Noah
"They'll last a bit more, but I'm not gonna forget about them."
Noah reclined his chair and rolled over, facing the window.
AJ
"I wouldn't expect you to," AJ replied, glancing at him before returning her eyes to the road.
She caught sight of a couple of eyes in the bushes on the side of the road and smiled to herself.
Noah
Noah yawned slightly and closed his eyes.
"Mmmkay."
