It was a very sunny day in London when the three friends boarded the plane that was going from London to Cairo on the direct line without stoppings. Trip would proximatly last for some 8 hours more or less and Mariana was happy to be in the plane for the third time this summer having no idea how did she have so much time to go to Ireland, Australia and Egypt though somehow it fitted well into her schedule.

After their Cairo Express plane landed to Cairo airport she was relieved to finally stand up after 8 hours of sitting. Two seats next to her were filled with her two friends Andrew and Nick that rather gladly accepted to go with her. She stood up exiting the plane to go take her suitcase that was much lighter for Egypt then for Australia. "Are you going guys? We really need to find a cab to our hotel.." she called out for them holding her own suitcase that has just been checked-out.

The day at Cairo however was even sunnier then in London. This was going to be one long hot trip...

[Darn I was gonna try to sneak up on yah Mari xD]

Once again, Andrew hated planes. He despised them and the only reason he would only fly was to go see a new country so that he could apparate back there again some day if need be. Yet, he decided to be nice and fly along with Mari, actually enjoying the flight, since he sat next to her and Nick. But the screaming baby always returned, and with that his annoyance.

Knowing that Africa wasn't going to be cold at all, he dressed in a rather usual asortment of clothes that he wore during warm or hot days. It basically just consisted of a white T-shirt, grey cargo pants, black sunglasses and his two gauntlets which were cleverly disguised as fingerless black gloves. Frankly he didn't want to take any chances on the trip, even if there would be no fighting. He had seen too much blood and sweat for a normal 16 year old to see.

He stood next to Mariana, looking around the streets, trying to find transportation. Frankly, the only place he had been in Africa was at the pyramids(one of them had been destroyed by Andrew during a fight with Ne'Os), and the capital city in South Africa. He knew nothing else about Egypt. "Yeah we may want to hurry and find a cab with AC, it's getting hot out," he said, scanning the horizens for a cab.

It was a very hot and sunny day in London and Nick was at his house and he felt like he forgot something "Ack I have to meat Mari to go to Egypt" Nick said to himself as he combed his hair and wore a pair of jeans with an unbuttoned collered shirt with a grey shirt under neath "Ok time to go" Nick said to himself as he seen Marianna and Andrew "Hey guys sorry im late" Nick said to them as he got in the cab next to them this was one hot and humid day but Nick didnt mind because he was going to egyp he had never been there before so he was excited "So how are you guys" Nick asked them

[[OOC:We are on Cairo airport taking a cab. I;ll pretend everything you wrote was for Cairo NOT London.Oh next one who posts just write we arrived i don't wanna be in this cab for 6 days.]]

Mariana took the seat next to driver's this time like Andrew had already done back in Australia. The driver put their suitcase into the lugage behind them before he rode off towards the center of Cairo. "Well off we go, hotel Cairo. They say it's one of the bests here." she said taking her reservation which was written on a paper. "We got an appartment with 2 bedrooms, bathroom and the little lounge too." she said not sure if she mentioned this already.

Her hand was on her wrist watch. "It's 13 PM here i might add. The hottest period." she said deciding to check the tempertaure once they got to their hotel. She wished she could have brought her owl with her though it would be too escnetric to carry an owl onto the plane.

Andrew opened the car door and sat down next to Nick, as Mariana had already occupied the passenger seat. It was rather nice enjoying the slight breeze the came from the car and would miss it once he would step out. It was rather good being in cold conditions again. He listened to Mari about the hotel room and nodded, then wondered something. "So wait," he said in a wondering tone "2 bedrooms? So we all get our bed?"

The cab then made a slightly sharp turn to the right, revealing the hotel where they would be staying at. Andrew had seen nicer places, specifically his place, but he didn't want to seem snooty or anything like that. He liked the hotel. He pressed the door handle down on his side and pushed forward, revealing a large heat wave. Man he wished it would've been a place like Hawaii or something. At least there was a balance. He walked to the front of the hotel quickly, enjoying the nice shade that was under a small canopy.

He looked inside and saw that the inside seemed fairly new, the look that made some young critic give it a 4 stars recklessly. It was most likely that, new. "So Mari," he asked turning his head back towards her "where is this room of ours? 2nd floor or something?" Frankly, he didn't care where is was located, but rather if it had an air conditioner, hell even a small fan would please Andrew at the moment.

Mariana opened the windov so she could enjoy the little piece of wind that was blowing if not from anything then from the cab speed. After all, she had to admit this cab was fast like a cheetah. Andrew asked a question so she felt rather weird about how to answer it since it was a bit uncomftable especially in front of the driver, but then again she's never gonna see him again so who cares. "Yeah there's 2 bedrooms each of which has 2 beds. I was hoping to bring someone else. But anyway you & Nick can have the larger one ofcourse since i'll be alone. I'm a modern girl, but not that modern to sleep with 2 guys in the same room..." she explained now feeling more uncomftable then before. It was rather weird to tell this to her best friends.

As the cab stopped and Mari payed the driver, they both got out while the driver was taking their bags out. Her eyes wondered to the hotel and back to Andrew. "I know it doesn't look like much, but you'll find it's very comftable. Did i mention that a cruise of Nile is included in the tour?" she asked curiously now not sure what she said or didn't say already.

"No it's the first floor i think it said 20.It has everything you could wish for apart from room service." she replied smiling as she put her black sunglasses on and got a hold of her black suitcase that driver just got out of the bagage along with Nick's and Andrew's things. "Whenever you're ready." she smiled looking at the hotel in the background while she put her black backpack on her right shoulder waiting for Nick and Andrew to take their bags.

Andrew nodded, with a serious look on his face, then shrugged. "You wouldn't have to worry about us trying anything," he said a friendly look in his eyes, also filled with sincerity. He could understand Mariana's uneasiness about the subject and decided to just concentrate with the hotel.

Andrew went back over to the cab, hating the heat again as the suns rays began to hit him again. He would have to wait a bit before he would travel outside again. He still needed to get used to the heat, plus he was exhausted from the long plane flight from London. He would go if they had to, but would have to drag himself...and then run to the shade as fast as he could. He quickly grabbed both of his bags from the trunk of the car, nearly burning his hand in the process as the black fabric on it was absorbing the heat. He then nearly sprinted back to the entrance of the hotel and nearly jumped inside into the nice air conditioned environment.

Once he was inside, he felt a wave of relief pass over him, enjoying the cold air once more. The one thing he loved about England, was the regular environment that also had cold days as well. Cold, he could deal with, Hot, he couldn't handle as well as cold. He turned back to Mariana, nearly glowing. "Okay so the first floor then?" he asked, holding the door open for her as she stood outside with the bags. "Mind if I get some rest first? Long flight really."

Mariana looked across her shoulder really not rather happy about the subject she brought up. "I didn't...I mean i know it sounds a bit odd, but it would be really ah not on place if i slept with a boy or two boys in the same room. It's just my way of thinking sorry.." she said apologinisgly hoping this was the last of that subject.

Her eyes watched Andrew skip for his bags with a great intrest, Apperently this weather was too hot for his taste though unfortunatly she couldn't change it for him. "You'll get used to the heat. I don't have problem with it because i lived in Mexico City and it's simmilar as here." she smiled tapping Andrew in the shoulder.

It was a minute before she entered while Andrew held door for her. "Yeah thanks come on Nick." she said dragging her suitcase towards the elevator then to their appartment with a number 20 on it. "Yeah here we are. And sure Andrew i can order us something light to eat so we can all take a couple of hours to nap untill it's more apropriate for walking." she said after finding a key in her backpack and placing it into the door lock unlocking them dragging her things inside. "Home sweet home.." she exclaimed waiting for the boys to join her.

As Mariana levitated her own suitcase lazly into her bedroom and put her backpack on the closest chair she took out the small yellow purse out of the backpack and made her way towards the small kitchen to prepare something quick before they would rest. She grabbed her wand and took out 3 bowls, apples, pears, apricots, bananas making them all automaticlly cut with her wand that levitated a knife from one of the shelves. As the fruit salad was done she levitated all 3 bowls to the silver platter and levitated the platter on the lounge room table. "Let's eat something light then we can rest for a bit." she said taking a seat in one of the armchairs taking her bowl with the fork in it.
