" Uh, guys?" Emma called as the three girls clomped down the stairs. " I don't think this is the right stairway."
Mia's brow furrowed, and she stopped. " I think she's right. Annie, where's the map?"
" Right here." Annie said as she took her bag off her back, opened it, and handed Mia a rolled up map of the airport.
" Yep. She's right. We're on the wrong floor."
Annie groaned. " WHYYYY?!"
Emma shrugged. " I dunno."
Emmie shot her a look. " It was a rhetorical question."
" We're here....." Mia muttered, tracing a path to a black dot. " And we need to be here."

Emma grabbed the map. " Okay, we need to go through a bathroom, two stores, up two stairs, in the OTHER bathroom, and into a bookstore."

Mia and Annie exchanged a look. " No.... We need to go PASSED everything you mentioned." Mia sighed, slapping her head as she grabbed her suitcase. She held on firmly to the handle and the carrier of a sleeping cat.

" Oh. That explains."

" Uh huh." Annie zipped her bag and grabbed her suitcase.

" Lets go through a bathroom!" Emma exclaimed excitingly as she grabbed the handle of her suitcase and walked up the stairs. Her two friends followed, sighing.

As the three girls trudged along, navigating their way through the airport's busy halls, they found themselves standing in front of a bunch of doors.

"Okay, I'm pretty sure this time it's the right way," Emma said confidently, already pulling open a door.

Annie raised an eyebrow, and Mia sighed, glancing down at the map again. "Emma, are you sure?"

"Absolutely," Emma said with determination. "Trust me."

Mia and Annie exchanged wary looks but followed her inside. As soon as they stepped through the door, they realized something was very wrong. The smell hit them first, followed by the sight of a row of urinals.

Mia froze. "Uh... Emma?"

Before she could say anything else, the loud sound of a toilet flushing came from one of the stalls. The door swung open, and a man walked out, completely startled to see three girls standing in the middle of the men's restroom.

Mia's eyes widened in horror. "RETREAT!" she screamed, spinning on her heel.

Annie was already backing away, and Emma, realizing her mistake, squeaked and darted for the door. They all bolted out of the bathroom as fast as they could, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

Once outside, they collapsed against the wall, panting and trying to suppress laughter.

"I—what—Emma!" Mia gasped between laughs. "That was the MEN'S bathroom!"

"I didn't know!" Emma said, her face bright red. "How was I supposed to know?"

Annie groaned, rubbing her forehead. "Maybe the giant sign that said 'Men's' might've been a clue?"

Mia rolled her eyes, still giggling. "Alright, let's just... let's try again. No more trusting Emma's directions."

Emma pouted. "Hey, I got us closer!"

Mia held up the map again. "Okay, so we are... somewhere near where we're supposed to be. But no more detours through bathrooms."

They composed themselves, grabbing their suitcases and cat carriers, and set off again, determined to find the right floor this time. As they walked away, Mia shot a teasing grin at Emma.
