Chapter 4

"Alright," I said, sitting down in front of my PC. "We'll be starting in Brisbane right?"

"I mean like, it's closest right?" Tubbo asked.

"Tubbo... We're going to be in Brisbane for the Olympics. What do you mean that it's closest?" Ranboo said, exasperated. 

Tommy burst into laughter.

"You guys are so mean, honestly. Anyways, I'd take that as we will be starting in Brisbane," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Woah, you actually have stuff in your office. Is that my Youtooz?" Tommy asked, pointing at a shelf that had almost everyone's Youtooz lined up on it.

"Yeah, I keep all different things that remind me of everyone. Like, there's that sign over there that says 'Home home', that's Wilbur. There's also Gogy's glasses somewhere," I said, not looking back from my screen.

"Huh, cool. Do you have any extra chairs or something?" Tommy asked.

"Nah, go get some from next door."

After they had come back, I found 4 amazing places we could go to. "Okay, I found some places we can go to in Brisbane. Pick only 1 or 2 of these, Queensland is humongous and there are so many other places we have to go," I rambled on.

"Are we going to get the 4 'amazing' places?" Ranboo asked drily.

"Goodness, patience young man," I said.

"I'm OLDER THAN YOU," he cried out.

"Okay, so there's the Wheel of Brisbane, it's a ferris wheel," I started, ignoring him, "We have to go on the Story Bridge Adventure Climb, it sounds so exciting!"

"Do you have to pick the ones that are high up?" Tubbo whined. 

"Oh cmon Toby, you have to get over that fear eventually, here, we'll only go on the bridge climb?" I offered, "Are you guys okay with that?" 

Ranboo just nodded, Tommy was too busy exploring my office.

"Alright. We'll go to the bridge climb, then do you guys want to head up or down?" I said, typing everything down.

"What do you mean head up or down? Is there like a second level of Australia?" Ranboo asked.

I sighed, "No, I mean like do you want to head up or down the coast. Up as in north and down as in south. If we go up, it's the Great Barrier Reef and some other cool stuff. If we go down, there's the Gold Coast and NSW's cool stuff."

"You only say that because you're from New South Wales," Tommy cut in. 

"Dude, New South Wales literally has the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House," I argued.

"What? More bridges?" Tubbo asked.

Tommy tried hiding his laugh in a cough, unsuccessfully, of course. 

"Hate to break it to you Tubbo, but there are lots of places to climb that are like, really, really high up," I said, leaning back into my chair.

"I hate you."

"I know that already," I said, rolling my eyes at him, "I vote for going to NSW, we'd be able to crash at my place after staying at a hotel at the Gold Coast for a night or two."

"I don't see a point with it. I'm honestly terrible at planning and that stuff so.." Tommy trailed off. 

"Okay.. Story bridge, Gold Coast... Let's say 2 nights, 3 days. And then we'll head down to my place, and stay there for the night. We'll leave the Gold Coast near the afternoon so we'll arrive at home at night."

"Hold up- Who's driving?" Tubbo asked.

All of them looked at me. 

"Just because I've lived there doesn't mean I know all the roads around there," I protested. That was a lie, I loved travelling around Australia so I had lots of maps memorised. 

"Mhm..." Ranboo said sarcastically. "Who votes for Echo to drive?"

All three of them instantly snapped their hands into the air. 

"Majority rules," Ranboo said, shrugging.

"Actually-" I started.

"No- Don't make me regret letting Tommy let Quackity teach you anymore than I already do," Ranboo told me.

I sighed, "Alright fine, I'll drive. After getting to my place, we'll spend the night, then head out to Sydney-" I was cut off, once again. But it wasn't by any of the boys.

I heard the shattering of glass downstairs, shortly followed by a yell of shock from Karl.
