Welcome back to the transcontinental train ride on the "California Zephyr".
As the train races through the corn fields of Iowa and Illinois we find the
four boys crowded into a roomette, reliving the night before as Mason finds
out he is still a step behind his younger brother.

CHAPTER 8
THROUGH THE PRAIRIES

I woke up kind of confused. It was very dark and I couldn't remember where
I was and why it was so noisy and why somebody seemed to be sleeping
practically on top of me. Then I remembered that I was in a sleeping car
room on a moving train and I was sleeping with my new friend Liam and we
were both naked.

Even more important I figured I had to get up and pee. I guess I drank too
much pop last night. When I do that I always have to get up to pee. At least
I'm not a little kid any more and end up wetting the bed. The last time I
remember ever wetting the bed was when I was six and in the first grade and
had drunk a ton of soda and punch at a birthday party. It was the first time in
like a couple of years and I was really embarrassed by it and so afraid I
would get in trouble. I didn't get in trouble but for a long time mom really
restricted how much I could drink at night.

Anyway, I needed to get up and pee and I was naked. My underpants were
under Liam's pillow and his were under mine, but I figured if I was really
quiet I could sneak out of bed and go to the bathroom without putting
anything on. I knew dad was a pretty sound sleeper and I should be able to
do it without waking him up.

I got out from under Liam and got out of bed. It was really dark in the room
and I could tell the train was moving fast. I had to kind of feel my way to the
bathroom by touching the walls, which always seemed to keep moving. I
wondered if this was what being drunk was like. There was a night light I
could turn on to see better, but I was afraid I would wake up dad and he
would see that I was naked and would see that I had a major boner (major
for an 11 year old kid anyway).

I finally made it into the little bathroom and turned the light on in there and
took my pee, which wasn't easy when you're all boned up and the toilet
keeps moving. Hoping I didn't miss with too much piss I finally got it all out
and made it back to the bed, my boner pretty much gone now. I looked up to
see if dad was asleep, but it was hard to tell. Well if it was hard to tell where
dad was in bed it was probably just as hard to see how much I was wearing
or wasn't wearing. I guess it depends on how you look at it.

I snuggled back up against Liam. I felt down between his legs and smiled
when I touched his dick. It was just as hard as mine had been. I couldn't
believe how great this trip was turning out and that thought made me smile
again. We were supposed to get into Chicago at 2:50 in the afternoon, but
we were almost an hour late when we left Denver. Whatever, I wondered if
we would find a way to have more sex before we got to Chicago. This sex
stuff was really fun.

Dad woke up a little bit before seven. I heard him get up to pee and take a
shower and I could read the time on his phone that he set on the chair with
his stuff. I reached under my pillow and pulled out Liam's boxers, forgetting
that my briefs were under his pillow. Well, no biggie, I was going to put on
fresh underpants after I showered anyway, so I might as well put on his
boxers. I mean dad saw me wear them last night so it would probably be best
I didn't get out of bed wearing a different pair of undies. Makes sense, right?

Liam was still sleeping soundly. I got out of the bed and actually didn't have
morning wood, maybe because I had some not very long ago. I wasn't sure
how this morning wood stuff worked. I dug into my stuff and pulled out a
fresh pair of briefs. These weren't white, they were teal and green, the
Mariner colors. They weren't like an official Mariner pair, just the same
colors. I actually had a pair of Mariner boxers packed, but I was saving them
for one of the games.

Dad came out of the shower with his towel draped around his shoulders and
wearing a pair of boxers. I was reaching into my bag for my briefs and I
knew Liam's boxers were hanging pretty low on me.

"Practicing to be a plumber?" dad asked me.

"Huh?" I had no idea what he meant. Liam started giggling. It looked like he
was awake after all and he obviously knew whatever it was dad was talking
about.

"You're displaying a nice case of plumber's butt," dad answered with a
chuckle. I could feel myself getting a full body blush and I quickly yanked
up on the boxers. Dad and Liam were both laughing at my expense.

I finally decided, fuck it I'm going to shower now anyway so as long as I'm
going to be embarrassed I might as well be fully embarrassed. I let the
boxers drop to my ankles, turned my head around, stuck my butt out,
wiggled it, and said, "There now instead of plumber's butt you get the full
moon treatment." I grabbed a towel off of the towel shelf and went into the
little bathroom closet type thing as dad and Liam both kept laughing their
asses off. I was happy that I got the last word in and happy, too, that dad and
Liam seemed to be getting along really good.

 After we all were showered and everything we went to the dining car for
breakfast. I had Amtrak French Toast with sausage links. Liam had the
French toast too, only he had it with bacon. I had milk and orange juice to
drink. The French toast was okay, but you could tell it was just heated up on
the train and not cooked there.

A lady from the sleeping car section sat at the fourth seat at our table. She
was pretty old and was nice. Kind of like a grandmother. We looked out the
window of the dining car while we ate.

"Sure is a lot of corn out there," I said, once again saying what everybody
already knew.

"Yeah," Liam agreed. I mean how could he not agree---there WAS a lot of
corn out there. All we seemed to do is go past corn fields. "It's gonna get
pretty boring if that's all we're going to see all day." The lady, whose name
was Amy, said that was pretty much all we were going to see.

Just as we finished breakfast Garrett and Wolf came in with Liam and
Wolf's parents. We waved and said hi. They got seated in the other section
of the dining car.

We took care of brushing out teeth and making sure we looked good and
decided to take the cribbage board and a deck of cards to the Sightseer
Lounge. We each took a book too. I decided not to take my camera. I mean
how many pictures of a corn field do you need?

The Sightseer wasn't full like it was when we went through the mountains. I
guess everybody else found corn fields as boring as we did. We found a
table at the other end of the car and started playing cribbage. After I beat
Liam three straight times Wolf and Garrett came into the lounge and sat at
our table. I was glad to see them come in. Liam wasn't the greatest loser in
the world, but then who really is? He didn't get mad or anything but he did a
lot of what dad calls "bitching." He complained about all of his bad luck
with the cards and all of my good luck. But I could see some places where
he could've played his cards differently and gotten a better score on his
hand.

"We had fun last night," Garrett said with his usual enthusiasm.

"Yeah, lots of fun," Wolf agreed.

"I learned lots of new stuff," Garrett said. "Like I learned all about corn..."

"Shhh," Wolf said. "He means all the stuff outside the train," he explained to
us, although I couldn't figure out what the problem was. He and Liam
looked around like they wanted to see if anybody was listening. I had no
idea what they were talking about, but those three sure seemed to.

"Let's go to the roomette to talk," Liam said. "It's more private there."

We gathered up the cards and the crib board and headed for the sleeping
cars. Dan, the old retired teacher who liked to be around us was sitting just a
couple of chairs from the tables. He looked at us with a big grin.

"Have fun," he said.

I wondered if he knew what we were going talk about. I had a feeling he did
and I wondered if old guys like him could get horny like us kids did.

We got to the roomette and squeezed in. It was pretty small for two and it
was really small for four of us. I wished we could use the bedroom, but I
didn't know what kind of excuse we would use for locking ourselves in
there. Of course we really had no excuse for locking ourselves in the
roomette either, but at least nobody should want to walk in. At least I didn't
think they would. We locked the door and pulled the curtain across the door
and inside windows. We didn't bother to pull the curtain across the outside
window. There wasn't anything to distract us out there and there was nobody
to look in even if they could. All I could see as I looked out was more corn
whizzing by.

I knew this was going to be about more than talking and that the talking we
would do was going to be about sex and knowing all of that gave me a
boner.

We were all squeezed in, almost on top of each other. Liam said us two big
kids should get the two chairs and then our little brothers could sit on our
laps. A funny thing is that Garrett is bigger than Wolf even though Wolf is a
couple of months older. And Liam is bigger than me, so Wolf ended up
sitting on my lap and Garrett sat on Liam's lap. Wolf and I were riding
forward and Garrett and Liam were riding backward.

Even though Wolf was 10 he was still heavy sitting on me. I wasn't all that
big a kid, but we managed to get all comfortable. Wolf was pressing on my
really hard boner as he sat against me.

"Wolf stuck his wiener in my butt," Garrett said.

"I stuck my cock up there," Wolf corrected. I guess he wanted to make sure
Garrett didn't sound like a little kid. Only little kids call their dicks wieners.
I sure don't call mine that and haven't since last week.

"You stuck your boner up there," Garrett giggled. I still can't get used to my
little brother being like a sex fiend. That was what us older kids were
supposed to be. I sure wasn't like that when I was almost 10.

"So you mean you had your dick inside his butthole?" Once again I asked
the obvious.

I noticed the Liam had Garrett's shirt pulled up some and was rubbing his
belly and his chest. Being the follower I was I started to do the same to
Wolf.

"That feels really good Mason," Wolf said.

"Yeah, Liam, it feels really really good." Garrett and Wolf were almost
purring.

"So, tell us what happened from the beginning," Liam said. I wanted the
whole story too and was glad he asked.

"Well, we went downstairs and brushed our teeth and peed and stuff,"
Garrett said.

"I meant where the good part starts," Liam said.

"This is where the good part starts," Wolf told us. "All we had on was our
shorts and sandals and we went into the same bathroom."

"Yeah, and if we had a downstairs bedroom we said it would be cool to go
there in just our underpants," Garret chimed in. "It was really crowded in the
bathroom. We pulled down our pants and undies and peed and brushed and
touched each other down there and really had fun."

I was reminded of Liam and me in the bathroom and me having my first
orgasm. I kept rubbing along Wolf's chest. I remembered how nice it felt
when Liam rubbed my nipples and so I started rubbing Wolf's. Wolf stopped
me which confused me for a second until I saw what he wanted to do. He
pulled up his t-shirt and took it off and threw it in the holder at the side of
the chair.

Now I could really rub his chest and stomach and shoulders and nipples and
whatever. I noticed that Garrett was getting shirtless, too. While he took his
t-shirt off I figured what the hell I'd take mine off, which I did. This time I
was a step ahead of Liam. His shirt was off in a hurry and now we were all
shirtless.

Liam and I went back to rubbing each other's brother as Wolf continued
their story.

"I dared Garrett to go back to the bedroom in just his underpants."

"Whoa," Liam said. "That's really daring. Did he do it?"

"Yeah,"

"Which underpants did you have on?" I asked.

"Tighty-whiteys. I almost wanted to go naked but we figured I could get
away with just having underpants on since I was a little kid but nobody
would believe I was just being forgetful or something if I had nothing on." It
made sense, I guess.

"Did Wolf take his shorts off too?"

"I wanted to, but Garrett said he wanted to be daring all by himself since I
made the dare." Made sense, too, I guess. I dunno, I wasn't there watching it
all.

"How come you guys didn't use the upstairs bathroom?" I asked.

"Too many people going by and stuff," Wolf said, still making some kind of
sense, even if they still had to come upstairs with Garrett wearing just his
briefs.

Suddenly Wolf took my right had away from his chest and put in on his
crotch. I could feel how hard he was through his shorts. Then I noticed that
Liam had his hand inside of my brother's shorts and was playing with him. I
became the follower again, only I unbuttoned Wolf's shorts so there would
be more room for my hand. This time Liam followed me and unbuttoned
Garrett's.  I started feeling Wolf's boner and his balls through his boxers. I
was so hard and horny I thought I would cum right then.

"Nobody saw us and we came back and got naked and we had boners,"
Garrett said. "We got on the bed and sucked each other's dicks just like you
and me did, Mason. It felt really good and we both got the feeling almost at
the same time."

"I need to get my pants off," Liam said. "My dick is all crunched inside of
them."

Garrett got up off of his lap, trying to untangle his legs from everybody
else's. He stood in the little space between the seats and the door. He didn't
bother holding his shorts up and they fell to the floor. His little boner was
making his briefs stick out. Liam stood up and pulled off his shorts so he
was only wearing his boxers. Wolf stayed in the seat but raised his feet so
Liam could untie his shoes and then he kicked them off. Liam bent down
and took his off while Wolf took off his shorts so he was just in his boxers.

Liam bent down to kick off his shoes the same time Wolf bent down to pull
his shorts all the way off and they bumped heads---not real hard but enough
to make a thump and make them both say, "Ow?"

I got my shorts off before Wolf sat down and we all were just wearing our
underpants and socks now. But Garrett was a step ahead of us as he pulled
down his underpants and was now naked except his socks. He bent down
and pulled them off, too.

"Now I'm naked just like last night. This is how Wolf and me were when we
sucked each other. Are you guys gonna to get naked, too?"

As much as I wanted to hear the rest of their story, I was so horny I almost
had to be naked whether I wanted to be or not. My briefs came off and Liam
and Wolf got their underpants off too. Then we all sat the way we were
before, except we were naked and that made it really different.

I could see the head of Wolf's boner, which was bigger than Garrett's, even
bigger than mine, sticking out of the skin. I'd seen guys at the pool that still
had their skin but they didn't have boners. I put my hand around it and felt
the head and the skin and started to sort of jerk him off.

Liam was all over my little brother, feeling his chest and his belly and his
hard little dick and his balls. I was so horny watching them and feeling up
Liam's little brother. I was so horny that when Wolf leaned back against me
my body shook and I got the feelings and I pushed my dick hard against
Wolf's back and had a kickass orgasm as I rubbed on him as much as I could
with him sitting on me.

"Oh, fuck, that was hot to watch," Liam said and he started jerking Garrett
off like crazy and rubbing his own dick against him like I did against Wolf.
Liam and Garrett got orgasms at almost the same time, their bodies shaking
and jerking as they moaned and quietly squealed. Everybody had a cum but
Wolf, who was busily jerking himself off. Before I could help him I felt him
get all tense and then he had an orgasm. So just like that we got naked and
had sex.

"What did you get on my back?" Garrett asked as he all caught our breaths.

"That was cum," Liam answered.

"Cool. Wolf told me all about cum and that you could make it. Can I see it?"

Liam ran his finger along Garrett's back and then held his finger in front of
him. There wasn't much on it. Garrett smelled it.

"Not much there," he said.

"There's more on your back and some got on me," Liam said. "And I don't
make that much yet, not like Dillon makes. He has more and it's way
thicker, too."

"That was fun," Wolf said. "But we didn't tell you all of our story."

Well, none of us was in any hurry to get dressed. I mean I could look out the
window and see that there was more corn going by and it was a lot more fun
to look at the naked boys sitting in the roomette and to have Wolf's bare butt
sitting on my lap. I noticed that Garrett still had a boner. I looked around
Wolf's shoulder and saw that his cock was kind of half hard, with the head
kind of disappearing inside the skin. It was cool to look at.

"So, let's hear it then," Liam said. I wondered if he still had a boner. His
dick was hidden behind Garrett so I couldn't tell. I knew what I had and I
was going from kind of hard to really hard in a big hurry.

Garrett took over. He was the more talkative between him and Wolf, just
like Liam was the more talkative of us two. It was almost like Wolf should
have been my brother and Garrett should have been Liam's. Wolf and
Garrett weren't born on the same day so I know they weren't mixed up at
birth or anything like that.

"So after we sucked each other we kissed and stuff. I like kissing. Wolf
showed me how to kiss really good, like letting him put his tongue in my
mouth. I didn't think it was gross because I let him put his cock in my mouth
and it's dirtier than his tongue." I've since learned that it's probably the
other way around, that Wolf's dick was probably cleaner than his tongue. I
also knew that my dick was back to being a full blown boner.

"I let him put his tongue in my mouth, too," Wolf added.

"Then he put his finger along my butthole and then he was putting his finger
in my butt while we were kissing. I thought that was really gross but it felt
good." Garrett was getting on a roll as Liam fondled my brother's little
boners and balls. "He touched this spot inside my butt and it was a feeling
almost like an orgasm and it got my dick really hard and it was shaking. I
thought I was gonna have another orgasm."

"Then I told him to put his finger in my butt. I couldn't believe my brother
was learning to do this stuff already. I just learned about putting a finger up
the butthole yesterday. I mean he wasn't going to be ten for two more days.

"Did you do it?" I asked Garrett. Mason, always the asker of dumb
questions---that would be me.

"Yeah, but it seemed gross. Not like sucking or kissing. I mean his poop
comes from there, but I stuck my finger in and he told me to look for his
button. He told me what he meant and I found it and rubbed and he liked it.
Then I took my finger out and it was a really stinky finger. I wanted to go
wash it off."

"I dared him to go naked to the bathroom, but he didn't do it. I knew I
wouldn't so it was cool, not like the going in his underpants thing. I
would've done that." All I could think was I wouldn't have done either. But
then again, if Liam had dared me to go down the corridor in just my
underpants, would I have done it? Maybe at night when not many people
walked around the train, but I sure wouldn't have done it in the daytime.

"Wolf said we could to get clean when we were done because we might get
more stinky or something, so I said I could wait. He said, `Did you like my
finger in your butt?' and I said I did." I knew right then I wanted a finger in
my butt again because it did feel really good.

I was rubbing Wolf's dick as Garrett started up again. "That's when he
asked if he could stick his dick up my butt. I said that's even more gross than
a finger. He said it's called butt fucking or corn holing and boys did it all the
time. He said that Liam does it to him a lot and that Liam's friends Nate and
Cody do it to him, too."

"Yeah and Dillon tried but he's too big for my butt. He's almost too big for
Liam," Wolf added as he rubbed back against my dick.

"So I got on hands and knees and he put some stuff on his dick and then he
put his dick in my butt. It hurt a little bit and I wanted him to stop and then it
felt good like his finger did and then he corn holed me." That must have
been why Garrett started to talk about corn something in the lounge car
before he got stopped. I knew now he wasn't starting to talk about all the
stuff going past the windows.

"I got an orgasm fucking him and then I jerked him off and he got one. We
went to the bathroom and then we went to sleep," Wolf said.

"In the same bed?" I asked. I mean they were both littler than Liam and me,
but those beds were pretty tiny.

"No, I got the top bunk," Garrett said. "Then he did it to me before
breakfast, but I didn't have time to have an orgasm thingy."

"Did you guys go to the bathroom in your underpants last night when you
were done with your sexing?" Liam asked just as I was thinking it.

"Yeah, but the upstairs one," Wolf said. "We went right past Linda's room
but it was late and we were sure she was asleep. It was scary but fun."

"What was it you put on your dick before you fuck...um...corn holed
Garrett?" I asked.

Wolf got up off me and with his weight gone I felt a lot lighter. "Your boner
is all red," Garrett said, pointing to me.

"I'm really horny plus Wolf was squashing it."

Wolf reached into his backpack and pulled out a bottle of clear liquid. "Liam
got this from Dillon who got it from this big kid he knows. It makes your
dick all slippery and makes it feel really good." He surprised me by rubbing
some on my boner. His hand sliding along me felt really good. He handed
the bottle to Liam, who seemed to know exactly what his little brother was
up to.

He sat back on my lap, but this time he was facing me. My boner was
pushing up against his boner. He put his lips against mine and I was smart
enough now to know exactly what do to. He started kissing and he opened
his mouth and my tongue went right into his mouth.

Garrett got up off of the chair he and Liam were in, working his way around
our legs that seemed to get all tangled because there was so little room. Liam
rubbed some of the slippery stuff on his boner and then Garrett got ready to
sit on his lap facing him like Wolf was facing me. While I tried to look
around Wolf he pushed up off my lap and I could feel his butt coming down
on my boner.

"Guide it in me," he whispered. "Put it in my hole...put in my hole." I
wasn't totally sure what to do or where his hole was, but I was totally sure I
wanted to stick my dick in it. I decided to use my finger to find the hole and
then it was easy as I put my boner right where my finger guided it. He
started sitting down on it and all I could do was moan. It was like my dick
was being eaten up by something warm and tight and it felt wonderful.

Wolf sat still on me as Liam guided himself into Garrett's cute little butt.
Yes, I've discovered that a butt can be cute. Wolf and I traded kisses and
then Wolf started bouncing up and down on my dick and Garrett did the
same with Liam. This wasn't easy in the small space we had and we were
like a big tangle of legs. But we were all so horny we didn't care and even
after just cumming Liam and I didn't last long anyway. I got the great
feeling one more time, one I was sure I would never get tired of. I could feel
my dick twitching inside of Wolf's butt. Liam's long, "Ohhhhhhhhhhh
shhhhhhhhhit," told me that he got the feeling too.

Wolf pulled himself off my dick and stood up in front of me. "Suck me," he
said in a kind of whispered command. I sure wasn't going to refuse. My dick
was half down now, but I was still totally into this sex stuff and like I said I
totally loved sucking dick. Wolf had to step aside so Garrett could get off of
Liam. Garrett made the same request.

Our little brothers stood back to back, their white bubble butts touching,
their hard boners right in front of our faces. Liam put his feet up on my
chair, I put mine up on his, and our brothers stood between our legs. I put
Wolf's cock into my mouth. It tasted stronger than Liam's or Garrett's did. I
don't know if it was because he still had his skin or what but I liked it.

I could hear the bumping of butts and I could feel Liam's feet against me
and my feet against his and my legs touching the 10 year old's legs and
Wolf's dick in my mouth and it all felt so good. I could see the corn fields
flying by next us out of the corner of my eye---it was like we were travelling
through one giant corn field---and I wondered if some farmer could see Wolf
and Garrett standing there getting their dicks sucked.  I didn't think so, we
were too far away, but I wondered what they would think if they could see it.

Then I could tell we were going through a town and I really wondered if we
could be seen, maybe by some boy living there. But I knew the windows
were tinted plus we were up high in the second level. I didn't think anybody
could see us and if they could I didn't care. I could hear Garrett squeal and I
knew he was having an orgasm in Liam's mouth and right after I could Wolf
push his little three something inch boner into my mouth and I could feel it
twitching and I could hear him give high pitched grunting. The weird thing
was when he was having his orgasm I wondered if Liam shot his cum inside
of Garrett's butt when they corn holed. I for sure wouldn't have been
thinking those kinds of things a week ago. To me the train trip just kept
getting better and better.

Garrett and Wolf untangled themselves from us and stood in the crowded
space between the seats and the door. "What did you guys do last night?"
Wolf asked. The ten year old seemed to still be horny. It was like he was
always horny, but then I guess I was too, lately.

"We sixty-nined," Liam answered.

"Sixty-nined?" Garrett asked.

"You know," Wolf replied, "it's when two guys..."

"Oh, sixty-nine. I guess I was slow. Like two guys suck each other at the
same time. Cool. How did you do it so dad wouldn't catch you?"

"He went to the lounge car," I said, "and we locked the door."

"I can't wait to sleep in the same bed with Wolf on the way back." Garrett
said. Then he looked at me and said that couldn't wait to sleep with me
either. I kept loving my little brother more and more.

We all jumped when there was a loud knock on the door. "Are you boys all
in there?" It was Liam and Wolf's mother.

"Yes, mom," Liam answered.

"What are you all doing in that little room?" My heart started pounding hard.
What if she wants us to open the door? I thought. I mean we were all still
naked.

"Just talking and stuff," Liam said. I could see he was a little nervous, too,
but not as nervous as I was I'm sure. Wolf and Garrett were searching for
their clothes. Garrett found his shorts and pulled them on as quick as he
could, not bothering to put on his underpants.

"It's time for lunch. We're leaving now."

"We're on our way," Liam said as he pulled his clothes off of the step to the
upper bunk that was next to his chair. We were all scrambling to find our
clothes and get something on as quickly as we could.

"Fuck, that was close," I said.

"Mom caught me and Cody naked once. We got a little daring and were
watching TV naked and she got home early from work or wherever she was.
She didn't freak out or nothing just told us we should be dressed around the
house. We even had boners."

"Well, we don't have boners now," I said.

"Yeah, they kinda went away after the second time. But still, all of us naked
in this little room is sure different than me and Cody just hanging around
naked in the living room watching TV and being naked even if we did have
boners."

Garrett had pulled his pants back off and put his underpants on. I noticed
that Wolf and Liam didn't bother to put undies on, but I had mine on. We
got out into the corridor looking a little messed up and Garrett had his shoes
untied still. Liam's mom was in the other roomette down from ours. She saw
us and just shook her head like four boys locking themselves in a tiny little
bedroom was normal for boys. Liam's dad didn't say anything so we headed
to the dining car, meeting my dad along the way.

It was decided that since this was our last meeting before Chicago we would
try to be all seven together, which the steward got all figured out. Us four
boys got one table right across the aisle from the other where our parents and
Dan ended up sitting. I had the Angus burger again. It was my favorite
Amtrak lunch.

We did a lot of talking and joking around at our table but we really behaved
pretty good. We kinda knew that if we didn't we might get split up so we
were careful to not bother other people but we still managed to have a fun
lunch.

When we finished it was around one-thirty. We were still over two hours
from Chicago. The four of us went to the Sightseer Car and watched the corn
go by (what do they DO with all that corn?) but started coming into more
and more towns and cities and things too.

We finally had to go back to our rooms and finish our packing. After that
our parents had a meeting with us kids to tell us what the plans for our three
days in Chicago would be like. It looked like we'd be doing some stuff
together, at least us kids would. After hearing the plans we were all excited
about what we would be doing.

It was just after four when we got into Chicago. We were a little more than
an hour late. We got our checked luggage and dad got us a cab outside of the
station. Liam's family was being picked up. Liam and I gave each other hugs
even though we knew we'd see each other tomorrow. It was going to be the
first time since we met on the "Coast Starlight" that would be apart, which
already seemed strange to us. But I could tell already that our three days in
Chicago would be a fun time.

Next: The Windy City
