Chronicles of Eden - Act V
two days,” Falla repeated while crossing her arms and looking up with a dull gaze. “Of course we would have been there sooner if they weren’t stopping all the time to fuck their man.”
    “Falla,” Triska, Specca, and Alyssa snapped at her along with a stern squeak from Squeak. Falla looked around at them then smiled nervously and held up her hands again.
    “I mean, make love,” she shakily corrected.
    “If we got there today would that make Daniel happy?” Pip asked.
    Everyone looked to her with puzzlement as she hovered in place and glanced around at them.
    “Huh?” Triska unsurely replied.
    “It’s impossible for us to reach Flairwood today,” Specca said shaking her head. “There is no way to travel that far that fast.”
    “Would it make Daniel happy?” Pip asked again. “Would it? Tell me!”
    “Yeah, I’m sure he’d be ecstatic to get there in one day,” Alyssa mocked with a raised eyebrow. “Of course that’s not going to happen. There’s as much a chance as us just magically arriving at Flairwood today as there is with you becoming Daniel’s mate, Pip. And that chance is zero.”
    “Where’s Flairwood?” Pip asked quickly. “Show me a map! Show me a map! Show me a map!”
    “What are you going on about this time?” Triska asked tiredly.
    Pip quickly flew over and got in front of her face, with Triska stepping back as the fairy showed a stubborn scowl at her.
    “Show me a map !” Pip shouted out. As she did the air around her glowed with a golden light briefly, with the group glancing to each other then back to the fairy with caution now.
    “Um… Specca?” Triska asked looking to the nixie with a weak smile. “Do you have the map with you? I think she really wants to see it.”
    “Okay, just hold on,” Specca said holding a hand out towards Pip to settle her down. She carefully got out the map of the area and laid it out on the table, with Pip flying over and looking down at it with a sharp eye.
    “Where’s Flairwood?” Pip asked again.
    “Right here,” Specca answered pointing to the village marker on the chart, and then moved her finger over to another part of the map. “And that’s where we are. So as you can see there is no feasible way for us to-” Before she could finish Pip raced out of the cabin in a blue blur, the group then looking over to the curtain as it wavered around from something having passed through it.
    “-get there today,” Specca finished.
    “What has gotten into her?” Alyssa said shaking her head.
    “I blame Luna,” Triska growled while turning to the butterfly girl, the others doing the same as Luna pointed to herself curiously.
    “Me?” she asked worriedly. “What did I do? Oh no, did I not explain our mission correctly to her? Did I say it wrong?”
    “I’m going to kill you,” Triska flatly stated. “I’m going to do it and everyone will understand why I had to do it.”
    Outside the cabin Daniel was staring with surprise as Pip had suddenly raced over in front of his face and was holding a hand out towards him as she hovered in place.
    “Stop!” she cried out. “You have to stop right now! There’s no time to lose!”
    “Pip?” Daniel exclaimed as he leaned back in the seat.
    “What are you talking about?” Kroanette demanded as she ran alongside the caravan. “We most certainly will not stop right now. We’ve stopped enough for today.”
    “Please!” Pip begged loudly. “I have to help you, let me help you! Pretty please!”
    “Pip, stop it,” Daniel said as he tried to wave the fairy away, the tiny monster then flying around in front of his face while pleading for him to stop. “Knock it off, Pip! Quit it, I can’t see where I’m going! Alright, alright! I’m pulling over, just stop already!”
    Kroanette growled loudly as Daniel snapped the reins and steered Lucky over to the side of the road onto a small grassy clearing. Pip flew around in front of Daniel then quickly looked all over the area in haste as
