CATaclysm

Chapter 10: First Checkpoint

Charles: Make sure you guys pack everything needed. Who knows when we have another food raid.

The Candy Amazing Fish Eaters Or the CAFE gang were getting ready to leave the supermarket and head out. Everyone had their own type of bag to carry things, everyone except Dulce.

    Charles: Here you go, Dulce. You can put all your stuff into this bag.

Charles offered dulce a small pink school backpack. Dulce took it in a shy manner and started putting things in it. A ball of yarn, a bottle of milk, and other cat stuff.

    Amy: Everyone ready?

    Magi: Ready!

Magis bag was full, full of junk food!

    Charles: Magi! What did I say about all that junk food!?

Charles proceeded to empty Magi's bag, the only thing she had in there that wasn't a snack was a bottle of water. Once Charles finished organizing her bag they were all ready to leave.

    Dulce: *tugging his shirt* Uh, Mr. Chars, where are we going?

    Charles: Dulce please don't call me "Mr.", it makes me feel old. And we are headed up North. To a place called The Final Frontier.

The Final Frontier has been Amy's and Charles's goal from the start. Amy found a suitable car for their trip. The car had gas and power.

    Magi: Chars. Are we almost there?

Charles: Magi for the 20th time, no!

Magi: How about now?

Charles: *Sigh* No Maggie not yet.

Maggi started getting impatient in the car ride, especially since she drank 8 apple juice boxes before leaving. Amy and Charles were in the front while Dulce and Magi were in the back seats. Each having a window seat.

    Magi: Are we almost there now?

    Charles: Damn it Magi. Why can't you wait?

    Magi: Because I kinda have to go.

    Amy: Go? Go where?

    Magi: You know, go to do number 1.

Amy pulled out of the freeway and found a place for little Magi to do her business.  Magi didn't want to go alone so Amy went with her. Dulce and Charles waited in the car.

    Dulce: C-chars?

    Charles: Yes Dulce, what is it?

    Dulce: What's a holy wood?

Dulce was pointing at the Hollywood sign.

    Charles: *chuckles* That says Hollywood, not holy wood. And if that's the Hollywood sign then you know what that means?

    Dulce: *shakes her head* Nah-ah.

    Charles: It means we are in Los Angeles!

By the time Charles explained what the Hollywood sign was Magi and Amy had returned. He then took out the map and started to circle with a red marker.

    Charles: Okay team CAFE group up! We started down here in San Diego and now we are here in Los Angeles, which means we are headed the right way. However, most freeways and streets are shut down and flooded with dead cars so our path won't be straight forward. I say we look for a resting stop here in LA and call it a night. Is that good with everyone?

Everyone nodded their heads, Charles has always been the leader type. All the houses were abandoned, not a soul in sight. Sleeping in the car was pretty uncomfortable so they picked a house, a house that didn't seem looted at least.

    Charles: This is where we will sleep tonight. There aren't many beds so Dulce do you mind sharing with Magi? Just for tonight.

    Magi: Yay! I get to sleep alongside Dulce!

And so Magi and Dulce got one bed and Amy got her bed in another room. Unfortunately for Charles, he had to sleep in the living room on a couch. And so team CAFE slept in a stranger's home each having their own separate dream.
