In the brightly-lit, surreal land that is the Toronto International Airport*, the Overlordess stands amid an island of luggage, alternately glaring at what claims to be a map of the terminals but really only seems to show where there are bathrooms and fried chicken restaurants and at anyone who she suspects of being a luggage thief.
“How can you have a ‘you are here’ dot on a portable map?” she wonders aloud. “Oh. Coconut must have stolen this off the wall.” She examines it further. “A wall in a Kansas airport.” She kicks the cat-carrier.
TEO, having realized that with all of the Terry Pratchett and Monty Python fans in the Bubblewrapian Empire, has determined that what the citizens really need during their respective spring breaks is a trip out of the country. To Britain. Because insanity, sprite, and government ruled by mangoes are international ideals.
She has also determined that she has no idea where she put her tickets, where the gate is supposed to be (if it even exists) and doesn’t know if anyone is coming with me.
She pathetically waves a small sheet of paper with ‘BWE TRIP TO HARASS CITIZENS OF THE BRITISH ISLES’ on it.
“Guys, a little help? I am airport illiterate!”<br>
Coconut mutters something smarmy from in his cat carrier of doom.
*Do not ask why TEO is in Toronto. It is not for mortals to ken.

Marakai Amenhotep slogged through the Toronto Airport, wearing her flowy blue sundress, white platform sandles, and floppy straw hat ensamle with a light blue scarf and a small blue backpack to top it off. Behind her, several albino penguins carried her luggage, which consisted of three red and purple suitcases. She looked at the map and sighed.
" It took forever to get through baggage claim, stupid terrorist precautions. It took some fancy spellwork to get my weaponry through. Now, if only this map showed anything but souvenier shops..."
Looking up, MA spotted TEO, and ran up to her, penguins following close behind.
" TEO! I'm here!" MA breathed, giving her mistress a hug. " When does the plane take off, and do you think the others will get here in time?"

TEO looks at her watch and gleeps.
"We've only got twenty minutes, no one's here, and I don't know where the gate is!" She sits down on a violently green suitcase with her head in her hands, trying not to panic and let her airportophobia gain control. "Musn't panic... gah..."

TEO grabs the map of of Furball's teeth.
"Aha! We're supposed to be at Gate 19."

MA ordered one of the penguins to sit down the suitcase next to TEO and sat down next to her friend, slinging an arm around her shoulder.
" Well, I'm sort of clueless myself. But maybe we can figure something out. Let's think a moment..." She paused, then glanced back and forth. " Do you even know what gate were supposed to go to?"

*tips head to one side* 19? That's a good number.

"Gate 19. I think. I hope. Yes." Smoke begins to stream out of TEO's ears. "I think I need to go get some Dismal Airport Plasticine Coffee before I start to think of complicated things like numbers."
She runs off, spasming.

MA pulled out some Sour Patch Kids she had and chewed them thoughtfully, pondering this.
" Well, we can't go until the others are here, but we might have to be all "go down with the ship" on them."

MA sighed and sipped on a Frappachino that came out of nowhere, once again left all alone. She was still in the middle of reading " The Picture of Dorian Gray", but she pulled out a Demon Diary volume and began to read, just to tick Furball off. It was fun to do that, sometimes.

TEO, meanwhile, is harassing the clerk at the register.
"You call this coffee? I calls it glue! I calls it special sheep linament!"
The clerk rolls his eyes, more intent on watching Furball.
"So you won't pay for it?"
"No. I will." She sullenly shoves a few hundred tigoil onto the counter and stomps out with her cup, going back to the luggage island.

MA watched Furball dash away and then went back to reading it with a light chuckle.
" It's so fun to push her buttons..."
