We drove all night and stopped in the morning for fuel and food.
It was a little town called Vecky, with not much inhabitants. We were going to drive to, Buddle, where Jiggly's, now brother, lived with his wife and four children.

We were gonna pick them up. We played at a park while Aunt Nacie took a nap in the 12 passenger van. We swam up the stairs went down the slide and did the whole process over again.

"Time to go kids" Auntie Nacie yelled from the van. We swam over and got in going straight to Buddle.

"Is this the house?" Aunt Nacie asked.

"Yep-aroo" Jiggly told her swimming over to the house. We quickly followed. Jiggly knocked on the door with one of her eight tentacles.

A tall Naiad opened the door with a small child behind her.
"Jiggly", she said hugging her, " Are the Chasseways with ya" The woman asked looking around.

"Not at the moment is my brother around?" Jiggly asked her.
"He will be in thirty minutes." She exclaimed.
"Okay, so the seaweeds are coming and we have to leave Merle." Jiggly told the woman, Merle.

"Quetta, Saury, Adlai, Riki pack your thing were leaving." Merle yelled into the house. The little boy behind her left.
"OK, I'll make this quick Quetta, she's the oldest, she turned 13 last month. Saury, she is 11. Adlai, she turned 9 last Summer, and Riki, the little boy that was standing my Merle is 5." Jiggly said as soon as Merle left.

A 13 looking girl came out of the house so I knew it must be Quetta.
"Finally I'm getting out of this puny town." She exclaimed throwing her bag into the open trunk of Aunties van.
A girl who must be Adali, walked out next nicley setting her stuff in the trunk.

Rikki and Merle came out, Merle with two bags. One for Finvey, her husband, and one for her. They threw their bags in the trunk right as Saury walked out texting away with her webbed fingers.

She threw her bag in not even looking up at us. We all jumped into the 12 passenger van. Soon we saw Finvey and his wife explained every thing he hopped into the back and sat by Rikki.

"Where are we going.....? Finvey started.
" Nacie, and were going to the Naiad War Camp. " Nacie said taking a left turn.
"Wait we're going where the seaweeds are!" Merle said.
"Nico has a valuable piece of info for the general we have to go there." I told her form the second row.

"Besides it will be safer there with people who can protect us." Nico told them from beside me.
"He does have a point sweetie." Finvey told his wife.
"Okay sorry mother sense kicked in." She said laughing awkwardly at the end.

"Moms" Quetta mumbled rolling her eyes as she brushed back black hair with blue strands. The blue had clearly been dyed into her hair.
The rest of her family had black hair, but didn't have anything dye in it.

"Ugh were out of the service range" Saury shouted as we got out of town.
"Mom I need better service its crappy!" She shouted at her mother.
"Don't you dare talk to your mother like that." Her Finvey angrily said.

Nico, Jiggly and I stared at the ceiling, I knew we were all thinking, well this is awkward.

****
We drove 3 days, stopping only every other night, and for hazardous needs. Soon we came upon a small "town" full of tents.

"Well, welcome to Naiad War Camp."
