Part 2:

We almost missed our flight, thanks to Carl forgetting to take his belt off. He also argued with security about it, which was pretty embarrassing.

Once we finally got on the plane, we were silent for about ten minutes before our short attention spans kicked in and we decided to play I spy.

"I spy," Carl started out. "With my little eye, something-"

"Cloud," Nick interrupted.

Carl gaped at him, "How did you know?"

"Because," Ariel called from her spot beside me. "We've been playing this game for thirty minutes, and each time your turn comes around, it's clouds!"

"There's just so many of them," Carl muttered as he dramatically stroked the window.

"And that," I mumbled, "Is why we broke up."

With the game of I spy obviously over, everyone kicked back and did their own thing. Clint and Ariel both pulled out a book, Nick and I got on our phones, Jackson and Blake had a "Lord of the Rings" marathon; even though Jackson sat with Nick and Blake sat with Cance right behind them. Blake just ended up leaning forward and placing his chin on Nick's shoulder. It annoyed Nick to no end.

Three Lord of the Rings later, the plan finally landed. (Carl once again forgot to take off his belt.)

We called ONE taxi and squeezed  seven people into the three seater backseat. Carl, the only person who wasn't afraid to sit next to a total stranger, sat up front with the taxi driver.

"Where to?" The taxi driver asked, after he got over his shock.

"The mall of America!" Carl chirped.

"Oh," the driver said conversationally. "My two little girls love going there, especially to the American Girl doll store. You have any store in particular you're going to?"

"No," I said with a shrug. "We just snuck away from our families and the movie we are currently filming, in the middle of the night, we're still kinda deciding."

"Oh," the driver said again. "Fair enough."

Once we arrived at the mall of America, Carl had to make a "pittstop" behind one of the few trees.

After that embarrassment, we went to get something to eat. But...

"I'm not eating at the American girl doll restaurant," Clint said as he folded his arms.

"But come on!" Carl whined.

Clint was the only one objecting as everyone else was either used to being forced into submission to Carl's whims, or just didn't care.

Cling was dragged (quite literally) into the store. In the end, they ended dragging not only Clint, but me, Carl, and Cance; as we wanted to look at the dolls and everyone else just wanted food.

The twins demonstrated this by wandering through the store muttering, "Food, food, food" in unison under their breaths.

When we finally arrived, we seated themselves and glanced through the menus.

"What are they trying to say?" Clint asked, "What is Sugary Sweetness?"

"Probably cookies," Ariel said snidely.

Just then a waiter arrived at the table next to them. "Here is your Sugary Sweetness," he said as he set down a plate of meat.

"Oh, I just love lamb!" The woman squealed.
