Abigail took another bite of her sandwich as she listened to Krissy with keen interest. "Just wing it? I would expect you to do as much," she giggled after swallowing her food. "Make sure you send me postcards, and take plenty of pictures," Abby said before taking another sip of her butterbeer.
David, however, looked more concerned than humored. "Have you ever been to America, Krissy?" he asked. He wasn't sure how good of an idea it was to travel in a place the girl had never been without any type of plan. "I've been to New York once myself. It isn't exactly the nicest city in the world." He had run into a couple of thugs in an alley and had had to use his wand to keep them from beating him up, than used a memory charm on them. He hated having to revert to magic on muggles.

Krissy grinned as Abi said that was expected of Krissy. "Don't worry I'll get tons more photo's" Krissy said grinning. "Thinking I might get them developed magically so that they move, but also develop them in the muggle way so that I can show them to muggles as well" Krissy grinned. "And I'll send ya a couple from places in America."
Krissy looked to Abi's dad. He seemed more concerns than Krissy's dad had. Though Krissy's dad knew Krissy well enough to know she could look after herself, and knew Krissy was safer traveling than she was coming home too. "Nar I've never been there, thats why I wanna go" Krissy said with a smile to David. "Pat's been there before though, at least he's been in america, he used to life there somewhere, not sure where though..."

David nodded slowly. He didn't want to start an argument or anything, but he was concerned for Krissy. He didn't think it very wise to just 'wing it' in an unknown area, but he didn't think it was his place to say, either. Instead, the man returned to his sandwich silently.
Abby meanwhile chirped, "Where else are you going besides New York? I hear there's some great theme parks over there. Disney World, Cedar Point. Good rollercoasters," she grinned.

"I think were meeting up with Ari after New York and are heading off to Utah" Krissy said hapily watching Davis curiously. He seemed to have suddenly become uninterested in the conversation and Krissy wondered if it had been something she had said. "After that were not sure, were traveling from place to place mainly by floo, Like from New York to Utah, I htink but then were also walking the rewst of the ways, traeling around Utah and New York on foot. Might catch a train at some point. But were camping alot" Krissy said grinning. Apat from those two places she didn't know where else she was going to go. There were so many options and she was just going to play it all by ear and work out where to go when it came to making that decision.
Krissy put the last bite of her sandwhich in her mouth and ate it before continueing. "We were considering Disney land" Krissy said "But were not really sure what we'll do, its all a matter of what we feel like doing at the time."

"You're going to meet up with Arianna? Wicked! But what in Merlin's name is in Utah?" Abby had never heard anything special about that particular state. She didn't notice her father's sudden silence, either. She took the last bite of her sandwich and another sip of her drink as Elizabeth finished her lunch and slipped away from the table. The youngest Bennett scampered away to her bedroom to play with her playhouse dolls and GI Joes (yes, she had both).

Krissy laughed. "Dunno, I just thought it'd be a fun place to go" Krissy grinned, it was true, she hadn't really put any htought into what they would do in Utah, it was really just one of those sudden 'hey lets go to Utah' moments. Krissy watched the little one leave the table and scamper off to what Krissy guessed was her bed room. Krissy drank some more ofher butterbeer and loooked around the hosue taking in what it looked like once more. It really was quite a pretty house.

Again Abby nodded. "Ooh," she murmured quietly to herself. "Alright, well what do you want to do now? Are you tired at all? We can go outside or play a game, or just go up to my room and chill and watch a movie or something." Because Abby's mother was a muggle and they lived in a muggle neighborhood, the Bennett family used many non-magical appliances and did not use magic very often.

Krissy liked muggle house holds. She grew up in one herself. And if was good to spend some time in a place that wasn't filled with magic, as at Hogwarts there was always some magic being used. Krissy grinned at the suggestions. "What movies do you have?" she questioned Abi. She wasn't tired in the sligtest, but did feel like resting for a while, she had just walked for half the day. "I haven't seen a movie in ages, can't really watch them at Hogwarts can we?" Krissy said with a small laugh.

"A whole bunch," she answered, pushing out her chair and standing up. "Follow me." Abby turned right into the family room, skipping over the two steps which led from the kitchen into it, and walking across towards the television. She knelt beside a long and narrow bookshelf filled with DVDs and VHSs. "Take your pick," she said to Krissy, running her finger over the cases. There were many tapes and DVDs, ranging in genres from horror to comedy. All of the Jurassic Parks, Shrek, Monsters Inc. and even Finding Nemo. A ton of Disney movies-classics and sequels. (You can pick a movie not listed, as well. Make one up if you want )

Krissy grinned as she lookd at the movies, skimming through the many many different titles that there were. She finally found one she liked. Grinning she pulled out the Emperor's new Groove. "Lets watch this one!" she said grinning. She may have now been a 6th year but she still loved disney classics, exspecially that one. It had a Llama in it.
"So where do we watch it?" she questioned Abi with a grin. She couldn't remember if Abi had a TV in her bedroom or not, she hadn't paid too much attention while she was up there.

(LOL I love that movie!)
Abby's smile widened as Krissy pulled out The Emperor's New Groove. She absolutely loved that movie (especially Kronc). "We'll have to watch it in here," she answered. "I only have a VCR in my room; the DVD player is in here." Not that she minded. There were comfortable couches and armchairs in the family room and a rather big television to boot.
Taking the dvd from the Huffle, Abigail turned on the TV and put it in the player. She hopped back on the end of the couch and leaned against one of the soft pillows before turning up the volume with the remote. "Take your pick," she told Krissy in reference to the range of seats as she hit the 'play' button.

Krissy jumped onto the same couch as Abi was on that way they'd be able to talk and stuff while sitting there watchig the movie. The movie was one of her all time favourites and loved watching it. Krissy girnned at Abi. "Here good. Your TV is huge" Krissy grinned, it didn't worry her where they watched it at. "Ohhhhh...." she said setteling back into the cusions on the oher side of the couch Abi was on. "Your couches are comfy too" Krissy grinned. (mwehehehe, me too. One of my favourites... it has a Llama )

"Heh, thanks," she smiled as Kuzco entered the scene schpealing about how terrible his life was. "I think so too," she agreed while also settling down with some pillows. Abby didn't know if Krissy was the type to get annoyed by talking during a movie, so she remained quiet and watched the screen, stealing some side glances at the girl all the while to see what she was doing.

Krissy leaned back in the couch watching the movie, while also absent mindedly thinking of how her trip was going. She was enjoying visiting Abi it was good fun and great to catch up with her again, and she was very much so enjoying traveling with Pat, that too was great fun, and Ari owuld be joining her at some point too. It made it all so very fun. Krissy laughed as he got turned in a Llama "I like Llama's" Krissy said grinning over to Abi. "And this one is way funny" (Hehe yes I skipped through the movie a bit... but meh )

Abigail nodded and grinned. With laughs throughout the movie, the girls finished watching it and spent the afternoon eating, talking, and touring around Reading. Time flew by, and they found themselves sitting comfortably in their beds already set up in Abby's bedroom at nearly eleven o'clock that night. Abigail wiggled into a position against her pillows, already clad in a pair of shorts and large t-shirt for her pajamas, and yawned.
"So, where'd you and Pat split up when you came here?" Abby asked as she looked at the red-head sitting in the bed right next to hers. "I mean, where is he now?"
