Mitchmas (24) Part 2: Send The Signal
August had to move out of Pittsburgh at the beginning of July because her lease was up. Around the same time, she happened to find a new job and the training for it was in Cincinnati, so she's been living with Marshall.
As she had promised, Aspen and Ben (August's boyfriend) picked me up around 6, the day after my birthday, and we drove to Marshall's house. When we got there, I hugged August, and I noticed that she was very sweaty. "Sorry," she said, "Marshall and I were just out on the lake. I'm getting in the shower after him."
After August and Marshall had made themselves decent, we all had a drink and hung out. The whole time everyone was telling me that they had a "big adventure" planned for the following day and that I "could possibly die." I fell asleep on the sofa around 2:30 a.m., so August woke me up and guided me to my air mattress.
When I woke up the following morning, I had to go to the bathroom. While I was washing my hands, I heard someone knocking at the door. So I walked downstairs and saw Kid standing there!
"What are you doing here?" I exclaimed.
"Well I wasn't gonna miss the big adventure." She replied.
We woke up everyone else, and we all went out to eat breakfast. "So," Aspen said when we had finished eating, "We're going to go on a little boat ride and then when we get back we will go on the adventure."
"Oh no!" Marshall said," I forgot I have a work meeting so I won't be able to make it on the boat, but I can meet you guys for the adventure."
When we got to the boathouse, we tried to order a motorboat for everyone except Marshall, but they did not have any that were big enough. So instead, we ordered two paddleboats. I sat on the back of August and Ben's boat, and Aspen and Kid got their own. Eventually, Aspen and Kid decided to get a motorboat and try to tow us back because it was just going to take us forever to get back.
As soon as Aspen and Kid were out of sight, August turned to me. "Okay Mitchie," she said, "the adventure starts now!"
"Wait what!" I said, confused.
"We're going to have to blindfold you." Ben said.
They put the blindfold on and started paddling faster and faster. Finally, I felt the boat hit land, and August and Ben took my hands and led me off the boat. I felt August put a cinch sack on my back, and she said, "Okay you can take off your blindfold now!"
I looked around and realized what was going on immediately. I was on an island with a tiny forest on it, and August and Ben were pulling away! "Have fun Michie!" August yelled, cackling away.
"What's going on!" I yelled, confused.
"Initiation!" Ben replied. "Send us the signal."
"Oh, no one's ever going to believe this." I said under my breath.
