Chapter 5

    Waking up to the familiar sounds of people moving around outside the RV, Crystal got up, and walking out into the RV space, she found Yuvraj snoozing in the passenger seat with his hat over his eyes, with Vanessa sitting behind the wheel watch the other circus members walking around outside in the rest stop.

    "Morning Crystal, so how did it go with your sister?"

    "Well she's probably still sleeping,  her bed back in her small apartment was horrible from what I seen as it flew by, so she crashed hard when she discovered how comfy Top's is."

    "Oh finally using his nickname, and you were actually able to call him by his actual name."

    "I know, but he keeps getting called by it, and Lotus is using it, so why not."

    "I see, and Lotus, I'm seeing a pattern with the names."

    "Yeah I noticed, but I just figured it's how it's working, she's a red clover and I'm a black diamond, so I figure it's how things would be with the other two."

    "Well I wonder how it's going to work with the spade, there's not really any names that go along with it.  Oh, also, Top, told me that you had a Crystal ball vision that allowed you to see the forgotten memory, but what about your sister, did you show her yet?"

    "She's aware of it, just haven't done it yet."

    "Consider doing it soon, but wait till he's awake on his own, waking him up will result in, do you know someone that when they wake up there a bit of a beast till they've had coffee?"

    "Yeah, he's like that when he doesn't get enough rest?"

    "Yeah, but he don't drink coffee, so he'll be angry for a few hours."

    "I see, well I'll be sure to remember.  Say how did you get in here"

    "Like this."  Rolling down the window, she looked both ways to make sure no one random was around, then using her arms launched herself into the open window of the trailer next to her, which was the one she's been traveling in if she remembered correctly.

    Smiling, she went to the fridge to find some waffles saved from the other day.  Sticking a few in the microwave to heat up she turned to the sound of an opening door, finding Lotus walking in, looking very well despite the crazy mess of bed head.

    "Morning, where's Top?"

    "He's sleeping over there, apparently we shouldn't wake him before he's fully rested, so I suggest being quiet."

   "Okay, hey are there any waffles for me?"

    "Yeah, in the fridge.  Say if he's sleeping, then who's driving, I don't have a license, and I'm under the impression that you've never drove an RV."

    "Oh right, after you went to sleep he said that if that happens let him be and ask to see if anyone is available to drive.  Most everyone here has the capacity, and there's more people than RVs so there'll definitely be someone with the capacity."

    "Okay, then what time shall we taking off?"

    "It depends on the people and how fast they can get around and ready.  It's never a real definite, but we usually get to were we planned to stop for the day."

    "So it's wing it and win it pretty much?"

    "Somethin like, that, but don't worry, we'll be there in just about two or three day.  The worst is already over."

    "I see."

    They got themselves ready to go, but Yuvraj kept sleeping, and showed no signs of waking.  Heading out, Crystal headed over to the next trailer and knocked on the door, which opened a crack, showing Vanessa sitting on what appeared to be a wheel chair, "What's up Crystal?"
