Road Trip

"Huh." Cindy said as she eyed the picture, thinking to herself in an effort to place the face of Sophie. After a few seconds, she shrugged. "Never seen her before."

"Shoot!" Carol said in disappointment. "Well she's got to be somewhere in this city. If not this time period."

"Well, does your sister have any hobbies or anything?"

"Hobbies? Well, Sophie always loved to sightsee, and she wanted to see what New South Western Saskatchewan looked like before President Elmer Jingleshimt turned it into a nature preserve and forest in 2311. She might be heading that way right now!"

"Okay, I'll bite." Cindy asked, rolling her eyes. "Where's this 'New South Western Saskatchewan' located in my 'time'?"

"I believe around this century," Carol replied, "people referred to it as... 'Das Begas'? No, that's not it. 'Ras Teagas'? No, no."

"Las Vegas?" Cindy asked, eyes going wide in shock. "Your sister is in Las Vegas?!"

"Yes! That's the place!" Carol exclaimed. She then gasped as she said, "I have to go get her right now!"

"Hold it!" Cindy shouted as she grabbed Carol by her bare shoulder. "You can't go across the country naked. Clothing may be illegal in your hea- Time, but it's required in reali- This time!"

"But I don't have any clothes in my apartment." Carol said, "No one in my apartment does."

"Then..." Cindy groaned, not believing what she was going to say next. "We'll just have to go to my apartment."

"Now, I'm only going to give you some clothes and money before driving you to the airport." Cindy said as she opened her apartment door. "Do you understand that?"

"You're still using money and air travel in this time period?" Carol asked in shock as Cindy ushered her in. She then chuckled sheepishly as she said, "Oh, silly me. Teleportation belts won't be invented until 2156, and monetary crystals won't be discovered until 2299."

"Right..." Cindy replied, still not believing a single word this woman was blabbering. "Just keep your voice down. I don't want you waking up Karen."

"Who's that?"

"She's my girlfriend, and she'd flip if she saw you." Cindy explained.

"Why?" Carol asked.

"Never mind that!" Cindy hissed quietly, "Let me just go over to my room and grab an outfit for you. What size are you anyway?"

"I think the same size as Karen is. Maybe a little smaller."

"And what makes you say that?"

"Well," Carol began, "her breasts are a little bit bigger than mine, though I'm the one with the bigger butt."

Cindy was just about to ask how Carol knew this when a feeling of dread came over her, a look of fear on her face as she gulped. "She's standing right behind me, isn't she?"

"Hello, Cynthia."

Cindy yelped as she spun around, facing Karen as she glared the two down while dressed in her pajamas. "Tell me, Cindy, is this a one time thing? Or are you always bringing naked women home with you?!"

"Karen! Sweetheart! Snuggle Bug! Love of my life! Center of my universe!" Cindy chuckled sheepishly. "I-I know how this looks, but trust me. I have a good explanation for this..."

"Oh, ho ho ho!" Karen laughed sarcastically, looking like she was about to strangle Cindy. "There is a naked woman in my apartment that was brought off the street by my girlfriend. Cynthia Roberta Driver, I would freaking LOVE to hear how you can explain this!"
