The Great Escape
(July 17, 2013)[12:20 pm Cecily: We are staying on the island until the 19th. something about the space available flights. When are you leaving?][12:22pm Daisy: Wait what? Staying? I.. I thought you were already gone? Umm dad couldn't bump the flight up as far as he wanted, we don't leave until the 20th.][12:30pm Cecily: Lilly said there is no way in hell she is letting me go anywhere near the hotel you're in. So we are going to camp near the beach or something.][12:31pm Cecily: She nearly yelled at me for even asking. It was kinda scary. She really doesn't like your dad.][12:33 Daisy: That's okay Sisy, I don't like him much right now either. And she's right about not letting you get near here with him around, fuck I don't even want to be around him.][12:34 Daisy: Is she there with you now?][12:34 Daisy: Wait, don't answer that, that was a stupid question. Shit! Damn it Sisy I... JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! Sisy, I want to see you so badly. I miss you but with this shit, and my dad...FUCK!][12:50 Cecily: Lilly said if you don't get your ass out of the hotel, she's going to come get you herself.][12:51 Cecily: And Andy won't like it. Who's Andy?][12:53 Daisy Andy? I don't know any Andy, but I'll have to figure out a way to get out of here without dad catching on that I'm gone...][12:53 Daisy: I may have an idea, hang on a minute, gotta make a call][13:02 Daisy: Okay that took a little more than I thought, but I have it covered on my end so that dad won't even know I'm gone. Will explain later. Working on transportation now.][13:04 Cecily: Yay! what size helmet do you wear?][13:05 Daisy: Helmet? Umm medium- large, but why do I need a helmet?][13:08 Cecily: Because it's the law. and I don't want to see your face messed up if something
happens.][13:10 Cecily: Do you have a backpack or small overnight bag?][13:11 Daisy: Yes backpack, been packing it as we text, ready to go on my end. Don't know why I didn't think of it before on the transport, but thanks for the helmet mention. Got it covered and no way to trace it to me.][13:12 Daisy:Will explain later also. Heading out the door in two minutes as soon as the decoy gets here. Anything else I need to know or bring with me?][13:14 Cecily: Swimsuit. I don't think it's a nude beach.][13:15 Daisy: Swimsuit, check too bad about the no nude beach though (giggle) but I can live with it. See you soon trail mix.][13:16 Cecily: Can't wait. Lilly said we will be at the Mickey Dee's down the road for a while.]
[12:47 Lilly: Ricky, stealing mouse bait, she is doing something on her end. Will be at Richardson Beach.][12:49 Raquel: Lilly are you crazy? Wait that's already been covered. Okay, I'll run interference on my end as long as I can. Take care of her, and don't let her do anything too stupid please.][13:15 Lilly: Now you're asking a lot Ricky. you want me to take care of her or not do anything too stupid? And look out for that lop ear that I think is being dragged into this.][13:17 Raquel: Take care of her, she's on her own about being stupid I guess. And I will look out for the bunny, Daisy just let me know what she's up to on that part.][13:27 Lilly: Good to know. call me if the shit hits the fan.][13:33 Raquel: I will, I'll need help to move the carcass.](13:30 McDonalds)The small kangaroo mouse sat at the top of the classic McDonald's fiberglass tree shaped playplace equipment as she looked out over the parking lot. She jump a little with each vehicle that entered hoping to see her friend. Other young cubs played around her as she waited. She often glanced over at
the liger who sat at a table below only to see her shrug in response. Her heart began to race as the thoughts of what might have happened to her lover ran through her head. 'What if she got caught and couldn't get out?' she thought to herself. She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket to check the location tracker to see where she was. She watched the as the dot indicating the Moose's position was only two blocks away. Her heart jumped as she leaned as far out of the tree-like structure as she could without falling.Quickly flipping up the tinted face shield of her helmet Daisy checked the location of Sisy's tracker indicator on her phone seeing that she was only two blocks away. The most prominent thing in the jumble of business signs she could see from here she sat was the huge arches of a McDonalds that seemed to be in about the right place. Flipping the shield back down as the traffic light turned green, she let out the clutch and throttled the Honda Gold Wing down the street towards the restaurant. A small mouse hanging out of the trademark playplace equipment drew her attention as she guided the motorcycle into the first available parking spot, right beside a black and silver Honda Shadow Aero. Although she was sure that the small mouse couldn't see her face through the tinted plastic, it didn't stop her from smiling broadly as she recognised her friend, and lover atop the playground staple, surrounded by cubs that were probably half her age. Rocking the bike up onto the double kickstand to keep it fully upright she killed the engine as she dismounted the bike, leaving the helmet on for now. Spotting Lilly sitting at a nearby table she walked over to the iron fence surrounding the play area, partially opening the bug shield so the liger could hear her as she spoke, "Don't turn around, I want to surprise her since she hasn't figured out it's me that was on the bike.I'll be around there in just a minute, and thanks Lilly, this means a lot to me.""Shut your yap, she's about to know it's you if she looks at the phone again." The liger watched the mouse as she reached into her pocket again. "You're lucky the reporting is about forty seconds off."Falling silent Daisy quickly entered the restaurant, making her way to the playground area as she unfastened the chin strap of her helmet before she exited the building. Once outside she quickly positioned herself so that the small mouse couldn't see her from the vantage point on the play place and removed the helmet, waiting for the girl to register that she was very near but still out of her sight.As Cecily pulled the cell phone
from her pocket again, the screen still lit from her last check, she spotted the icon almost directly on top of hers. She looked around for a moment, knowing that it must have been the person on the motorcycle. When she found the rider no where in sight she glanced over at Lilly to see the grin on the liger's face. Slowly she climbed back into the tree and huddled amongst the small cubs for a moment as she watched the door that led into the restaurant. The place had been upgraded to force everyone to enter and exit the play place through the one door. There was no way to sneak out to find the Moose, and no way for the moose the get in without being seen. She looked at the other cubs for a moment and caught sight of one wearing a hooded jacket. Her heart raced even faster as she thought through her plan. She wanted to surprise the moose, but could she do it? She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths before she signed the small dog boy over."I'll give you a dollar if I can borrow your jacket," She whispered to him as she held out the bill. The boy eagerly handed her the jacket while he took the dollar and ran out of the playground to what must have been his mother. She tucked her ears under the hood and pulled her tail up into the jacket before she cautiously walked out of the tree toward the exit. She shoved her paws deep in the pockets as she watched for the Moose from under the hood. Seeing her take off the helmet she looked to the floor and moved past in the direction of the restrooms, then watched quietly from the distance.Daisy waited for a few short tense minutes for the mouse to come bursting from the tree shaped playground apparatus before the realization hit her she had been discovered by her mouse lover and the girl had slipped past her unseen somehow. Remembering that a little dog boy had run from the tree excitedly clutching a dollar bill she let her shoulders slump as she shook her head slowly, a grin spreading slowly across her muzzle.Cecily watched as the the Moose girl's shoulders dropped, no longer poised for the pending attention from the mouse. She watched as she wondered how long she would wait before entering the play place. Her heart continued to race as she tried to calm down. 'Don't panic, nothings wrong, she's right there. Just breath.' she thought to herself.Dropping down to one knee, laying the helmet on the ground beside her Daisy laughed out loud for a moment before saying, "Okay trail mix, you got me, I surrender. You're better at this than I am and you win. Now get over here and give me a hug sweet cheeks." Several of the adults watching
their children in the enclosed area looking at the moose girl as if she had lost her mind as she seemed to speak to the air around her.A smile rolled across the mouse's face as she heard the surrender form her girlfriend. Her tail slipped from within the jacket as she ran to the moose, colliding with the force of a tackle, knocking them both to the floor. "I love you Daisy." was all she could manage to say as tears started to form in her eyes. She clung tightly to the moose, eyes squeezed shut. For just that moment she didn't care who was there, she had everything she wanted at that moment in her grasp.Hugging her mousey girlfriend tightly to her chest Daisy struggled to sit upright, laying her muzzle across the small mouses head when she finally managed to do so. "I love you to Sisy" the only words the moose was able to utter as she reveled in the soft warmth of her lover's body pressed against her own. After holding the embrace for what seemed like hours she finally pulled away slightly from the girl looking down at her, "okay sweet lips, now we're just making a scene, not that I really give a shit, but my butt is gonna get sore if we sit here until you catch your flight home." Looking over to the Liger she asked, "Okay boss lady, what's the plan?""A lap or two around the island to contribute to the Ozone depletion, then check into a grass hut on the beach if they still have one. If not a tent site and the stars I think." Lilliana smiled as she watched the two. The joy of seeing Cecily so open and affectionate in such a public setting was more than she had hoped for on this short trip. "That is unless you have a better plan. But I did tell Momma moose we would end up on the beach. But first how about some food, She wouldn't let me order till you got here.""Sounds like one of the best ideas I've heard in a while, all of it, as long as I'm with Sisy I don't really care where. Okay Q-tip," the moose said, grabbing the mouse's tail gently, rubbing the tuft of fur at the end of it across her muzzle a few times, "let's eat and get outta here, you in?"The mouse unzipped the jacket and shrugged it off as she said,"Been waiting for you." She jumped off Daisy's lap and ran the jacket back to the dog boy, thanking him as she handed it back. Then she walked back to the moose with a smile. She put her paws on her hips and said, "You going to just sit there? If you are I going to sit down too.""Okay, girls. Get off your asses and lets get some food.I want to get out there and ride," the liger said as she walked past the two toward the counter.Nearly springing to her hooves daisy grinned at Sisy as she answered the Liger, "YES MA'AM.", scooping up the small mouse in her arms as she followed the girls adoptive mother inside.Cecily wrapped her arms around the moose's neck like a small child she she was carried to the counter. "You know, I like this. It's so much easier than walking on my own." She mouse jested as she snuggled into her girlfriend. "And so much more comfortable too."Lilly walked up to the counter and began her order, "I'd like two Wrappers and a large drink.""Ma'am, we don't serve Wappers here, this is McDonald's," The teen behind the counter retorted with a near mocking tone. "Well, Is that so? What exactly do you have that is similar to the Wapper?""We have the Big Mac here, Ma'am," the teen huffed as he answered the liger."And what exactly is the difference between a Wrapper and a Big Mac?" Lilly looked at him, her face stone."The special sauce, ma'am" The teen started to back away from the register as the Liger towered over him."Ok, I'll take two Chicken clubs and whatever Squeaky and Mouse bait want." She ordered then walked away as the confused teen punched her request into the register."I'll have a quarter pounder, with cheese," the moose began, interrupted by the teen when he asked, "would you like cheese on that?" Glaring at the boy as she gritted her teeth Daisy replied, "Yessssssss, with cheese..., and a number 2 with a coke." Waiting a few moments for the boy to punch in her order she turned to Sisy to ask what she wanted.The small mouse looked at the teen taking their order and said, "I want a nugget mail with ranch and a coke."As she punched the moose's request in and listened to the mouse he asked, "Four or six piece?""Four or six what? They come in six and ten." Cecily said as she pointed at the menu on the wall behind him. "Did you just assume I wanted a kid's mean?"Lilly looked over the pair's shoulder at the teen. "Geeze boy, First you talk to me with a "fuck the customer" attitude, then you ask if she wants cheese on her cheese burger. Now you just assume everyone under three feet tall wants a kid's meal? Who the fuck trained you for customer service?" She glared at him as she continued, "Just push the little pictures on the screen and tell me how much it is."Meekly the teen looked up at the liger, "Ma'am, I need to know how many nuggets she wants... so I can punch it in.""Which toy do you have?" Cecily asked feeling sorry for the teen. He reached under the counter and pulled out the little minion toy and showed her without a word. "I got that one, so six piece adult meal." After the teen gave them the total, Cecily reached into her pocket and pulled out a card. She leaned forward and swiped it through the machine."You two go sit I'll get the drinks." Lilly said as she grabbed the cups."To the table jeeves," the mouse gestured over the moose's shoulder into the dining area.Looking at the small mouse with a raised eyebrow the moose said, "really? Now I'm your chauffeur? What's next, your wet nurse?"Cecily leaned back to get a better angle to look her in the eyes. "Are you making requests or suggestions? Besides, it's not like I can walk there myself from this position."Leaning her muzzle to the mouses ear she said, "hmmm, we may have to find out which at a later time sweet lips, but you're not getting out of my arms until after we eat."The mouse pressed her body into the moose and Said, "No complaints here, hot stuff."Lilly walked past the couple with the
drinks and a tray of food. "If you two take much longer, I'm going to eat your share."Looking to her girlfriend the moose giggled, "I think that's our cue to eat sweet cheeks," she said, following the liger to a table. "Same arrangement as always Sisy?" the moose girl asked as she sat down, letting the small mouse get comfortable in her lap.Cecily wiggled into the moose's lap as they sat together. she took a paper napkin, unfolded it, then placed it on top of head. "Ready sloppy," she said with a giggle before looking up at her with a smile."Not my fault you keep sticking your head in front of my muzzle when I try to take a bite wiggles," the moose responded, tickling the mouse's sides playfully. Looking to the liger as she removed their food from the tray, giving the mouse in her lap her drink and nuggets she asked, "So any place in particular we're headed to? Or just where ever we end up when we've had enough riding around?""Keokea Beach, the long way." She put a paw full of fries in her mouth and continued to mumble something through the food, before she swallowed and tried again. "I was thinking ride up the cost until Sisy ran out of film or we ran out of gas, whichever comes first. Then hit the beach until it's time to hit the flights."Only half listening to the ligers half mumbled plan the last word strangely catching her attention she remarked, "flights? You mean flight right?"Lilly took a bite of her sandwich as she mumbled, "Yeah, flights, Flight, whatever. When dealing with space available its a little iffy. We get what we can. I just try to get us both on the same flight. Why, you got an idea?" The liger looked at the moose with a mischievous grin."Well, honestly I didn't know how that space available thing worked. Never traveled that way..." the moose said pausing, the look on her face telling the liger woman across from her she was considering something in her mind. "How hard is it to get on the, I guess list , for that?" she finally asked quizzically."Well, you have to be eligible, or with an eligible individual," she poked at her right eye with her finger, "This damned thing gets me to the top of the list. I make a call with the requested destination, and the passengers names.
and then we just wait till we are called for the next flight with open seats. Then we have a choice to take them or go back to the bottom of the list and wait for the next fight.""That's kind of an odd way to travel. But it sounds like you get where you're headed to anyway. Doesn't sound too bad though." Daisy ended it there, thinking about what the woman had told her."Well, you get there eventually, not a way you want to travel if you have to get somewhere in a timely manner, but it can be fun. One time I got a string of little puddle-jumpers half way across the nation. Longest flight time ever." Without looking at the moose she continued, "I know what you're thinking mouse bait. Think long and hard about it before you ask. Once I start something you're stuck doing it my way.""So what am I thinking? Since you know everything," the moose said a bit defensively."The same thing I would be thinking in your position. And the same reason I agreed to let you come along with us for the next two days. Any time away from the drama might be a welcome change." She looked the moose in the eyes with a stone expressionless face. "I know a few ways to pull off the little idea that might be rolling around in your head, but you have to remember that there are consequences to your choices, and there is one big, horned consequence that you have to deal with eventually. Your friends, mother, and I can only do so much on that front." She then dropped her gaze and returned to her eating. "Just think it through before you ask... or I ask you.""Point made, and understood Lilly. I know I'll have to deal with... HIM, " the moose herm said, near contempt in her voice, "at some point no matter what I do. It's my own fault for giving a shit about Ralph, and Zoe and the baby. But he's the good brother, I have to watch out for him and try to protect him from our... the guy that made us." Resting her muzzle across the small mouses head she said softly, "I remember what you said Sisy, about respecting the position. But after the things he's been pulling trying to screw up Ralph's life... he gave up the respect that position deserves as far as I'm concerned." Closing her eyes for a few moments she continued, "it's a moot point anyway. He will find something to blame me for in all this, no matter what I do it will somehow be all my fault. I will think it over carefully Lilly, but having to deal with what you're talking about is going to happen whatever I do." Looking the woman in the eye again she said,
"but I'm out of that shit for a little while, and right now being with Sisy is what's important. I'll let you know what, or if I decide."The liger smiled at her as if knowing some untold secret. "Enough of that. Eat. We have a cost line to see and a beach to lounge around on. No stress, no worries, just fun and relaxation."The small mouse lightly pressed her back against the moose's chest, as she whispered "Fun, relaxation, and you. I don't care about the rest of it for now. I have you." The moose sighed happily at the warm body pressed against her. Together the trio ate the rest of their meal in a relaxed happy silence. Together the group left the restaurant and moved to the motorcycles, the early afternoon sun still high in the sky. Lilly leaned over the leather saddlebags on the smaller of the two Hondas and began pulling out leather cycle gear. "Okay, squeaky, armor up." The liger and mouse both donned tight, form fitting leather jackets and zip on street armor riding pants, followed by the matching black helmets. Lifting the faceshield Lilly looked down at the mouse and asked, "Where do you want to ride?" as she straddled the cruiser and started it up.Cecily looked over at the moose for only a moment before, without asking, climbing up on the Gold Wing. She slid all the way forward ,placed her paws on the tank and swung her legs on either side of the bike. tapping the small box attached to the side of the helmet, she said, "I can't reach anything on this one."With a laugh the liger tapped the matching device on her helmet and replied, "You have a choice of who to ride with Squeaky, not which one to drive."With a sigh the mouse dropped against the fuel tank in defeat. "I can't wait to get home sometimes."Grinning at Sisy behind the tinted faceshield Daisy reached down wrapping her paw over the mouses shoulder as she started the bike. Pulling her upright against her chest her paw tapped on the girls helmet twice, spreading her fingers across the top to twist it slightly, indicating she wanted the girl to face her a moment as she flipped up the bug screen."Lean back against me, it'll be a better view than the gas tank and it's easier to hang on to me than the tank Sisy. Besides how are you gonna
get any pictures looking at the road?"The small mouse sat up and spun around, moving her legs to wrap around the moose's waist and pulled their crotches together, fully facing Daisy. "I like this view."Lilly leaned over and handed Cecily her camera. "Turn it around, Squeaky, she needs to pay attention to things around her, not in her lap.""She's right girl, there's plenty of time for that after we get off these bikes sweet lips," the moose said, grinning at her girlfriend as she helped the small mouse get situated in front of her. Once they were both comfortably situated Daisy rocked the bike off the stand, carefully rolling it backwards from the parking spot. "Lead on Lilly," she said, squeezing the clutch and tapping the gear shifter to first gear, waiting for the liger to take the lead.As the small mouse settled into her place in the lap of her lover, the liger pulled her cruiser out into traffic. The moose followed with the mouse's legs pinned in place by her thighs. From the corner of her eye she saw the mouse fiddling with the settings on the camera as they followed the feline to the scenic highway. The trio on the pair of cycles rode for hours, stopping at scenic view points all over the island. Their rout seemed random and unplanned as they weaved their way through the island scenery. Between stops Daisy felt the mouse move against her, snapping pictures is they went. For the first time in what seemed like forever, Daisy had finally fully relaxed, all the cares and stress of the vacation-gone-wrong pushed from her mind as she just revealed in the time she spent with the two free spirits as they aimlessly roamed through the day with the moose in tow.
