Storms in Africa

Off to Mozambique

The Wiggles drove Sam and Calvin to the train station in their Big Red Car. 

They registered with their tickets, and arrived just in time to get on the train. 

They chose two compartments. One for the kids, and one for the Wiggles. 

They had two compartments because the Wiggles were planning on surprising the kids with vacation activities. And it wouldn't be a surprise if they heard them planning.

Sam sat in the compartment she was in looking out the window as the train traveled farther and farther from Wiggletown. 

"You're missing Robin aren't you?" said Calvin.

"Yeah. Don't you miss Patty when you're away?" said Sam.

"Sure I do. I admit, it's gonna be tough missing her for a month" said Calvin. 

"So you know how I feel" said Sam.

"Absolutely."

"How'd she take the goodbye?"

"Better than I thought. She still cried though."

"Understandable."

Calvin put his hand on Sam's shoulder. "Hey. We're gonna have a great time."

Sam nodded. "Yeah. We are."

"Wanna get a coffee?"

"I'll join you in a minute."

Calvin left the compartment while Sam stayed looking out the window. 

She sang about missing Robin to make herself feel better.

Every time I leave my home

I run back to my lover's arms

One last kiss before vacation

Watching him, I knew he'd cry

He waved a kiss to say goodbye

Knowing I'll be gone for some weeks

All I am, a companion to my friends

All I have is a mind full of interests from home

If only I had stayed with you

My train moves on, you're gone from view

Now I must weather this vacation

All I am, a companion to my friends

All I have is a mind full of interests from home

Days will pass, they'll become weeks

It'll feel like an eternity

But I must weather this vacation

Then she went to join Calvin in the train's tea area.

Calvin awkwardly tried to strike up a conversation.

"It feels weird without Charles Wallace, doesn't it?" he said.

"Yeah" Sam agreed.

"How long do you think he'll be?" said Calvin.

Sam shrugged. "Probably long enough for Jeremy to get it together."

"Maybe that's an idea. We're not with him now, but we could still help him long distance" said Calvin.

"How?"

"Well... for one thing, he's probably continuously asking himself how he's pregnant. We could go over some possibilities" said Calvin.

"Calvin, this is a male pregnancy. It's most likely some kind of magic" said Sam.

"Probably. We have a whole month to investigate. Let's just hope we come home with good news" said Calvin.
