Going the way of the lakes?

"We go around. There is fishing ground wars. According to Trixie's ex."

"We will need guns then working guns." Talon said.

"Can't we just ride the wall?" Ellinor asked. "Like the other walled city"

"That is the plan but PA is much bigger than that city. We will be close to the shoreline the city may not have a wall were the shore is."I explained.

"Then let's go the other way towards the ocean and around that way." Ellinor trying to not be in dangerous situations. I for one don't want the kids in that situation either.

"I second that idea." Sue said. "Now time to vote." We voted going away from the lakes was unanimous.

I steer us east following the wall. When we saw a weapon we picked it up. We found some cyber legs for Trixie. When we got to the border we were met with hostility and shot at.

I tried a white flag. Allowing me a audience with a captain. "Hello we just want to pass through nothing more."

I was not answered because a flying ship came in beginning to fire at us both. I took cover, "Give up your foolish rebellion Delaware you can't live without the supplies from us." said a microphone voice.

They shot at us as I moved to get back into the bus. "What pathetic reinforcement." laughed the captain in the ship as it chased me into the bus with gunfire.

Once I was in I managed to fly us out of the way. They followed us. "We have to do something. " Ellinor sqeaked.

"I made a grinad. If you can fly I can bring it down." Talon said holding a strange looking thing.

I drove up a building that the ship was near they are shooting, "Hope you all have belts on."

nearing the top I yelled what you waiting for.

"You to jump to the ship haven't you got this thing figured out yet." Talon said I grumbled at him speeding up as I move to drive onto the ship. Once I saw the space I shot off the building into the air crossing the gap and onto the underside of the ship.

"Get off my ship!" yelled the captain of the ship. Talon throw the think into a window. I drove us over to a nearby building below the ship. We fall until we had a surface to friction with.

I slid into the building's fourth floor that had a large window with no glass. BOOM!

We sat waiting for the dibre to stop falling. "Joe we are not alone in here." Whispered Sue.

"You blow up a sky dweller's Ship. Come!" said one of the people.

"what do you think we should do?" whispered Trixie.

"See what they say and get around PA." I said with a smile.

I took the wall on the outside to follow them. I was not leaving the bus. Into the walls we went the place was well lit and had much food growing there was a roof that let the sun it over head, but you couldn't see out. I drove us all the way to a city of cabins mostly no tall buildings. All buildings had to fit inside the walls.

We got out of the bus several people were here watching us enter what looked like a city hall. As we walked some of the children called out to families with joy and hugs. This was good they should find their families less for us to feed.

"You have killed a great dragon. We are in a great war between the sky dwellers and the land. What side are you on?"

"Well we plan on finding land to build our family on. I wasn't aware there was a war." I said.

"Where have you been the last century sleeping?"

"Yes my name is Joe these guys are my friends and family. They are the family that woke us up, and Ellinor is the woman who was keeping safe all the children. " I pointed out each group not really giving names. "And you are?"

"The king of this Delaware state. Mike Huckabee. Are you willing to join our efforts to be free and treated as equal opportunity business partners?"

"I'm home Mike." Ellinor said stepping forward she had two of the older children next to her. There was now only one child that hid behind Pearl.

"I'll join your efforts." Trixie and Diana at the same time.

"Why?"

"We have been toasted aside by sky dwellers. I love to take revenge." They spoke in unison.

"I'll join you too." Dillon said standing by his mother. Kevin stood by me she was holding her sister's baby.

I looked around, "I myself will have to think about it. I would rather stay neutral. The rest here can choose their own fate."

"Can't you just let us go through your state so we can find a our way to Utah?" June said she had her son in front of her holding his shoulders.

"Can't say I can do that. PA and I have a good exchange. They find you offensive. I want you on my team not Maryland or Virginia. You did me a good deed. I owe you, but that one I can't give you. I need that thing you blow up the ship."

I was taken back a little nodded. "I think if you give us some time to get to know the place and about this war. We can choose with knowledge instead of on a whim is that okay with you your highness?"

"Yes. Come in and eat with us it's time to celebrate." We joined them the talk was celebrating the return of his wife and children. and the destrution of the ship.

At midnight we returned to the bus. The original nine of us and Kevina and the three year old Pearl has called Penny sat in our mobile home bus.

"Well I learned that this war is not just sky vs. land. The sates also fight amongst themselves and their government are all different." Talon said.

"I learned whole states are owned by a sky city they are the supplies that the sky city have to provide for their luxury. " Sue said. "Also my husband called. He wants to tell me how good he has it and is willing to sneak us in. He is not on a ship but in a nice house with a job in his field in Illinois. The state is owned by Dail."

"I could have told you that. " Kevina said.

"Aren't you going to stay with your family?" asked mandi.

"I'm my own person I don't think my family needs me. I am not really trusting." She said.

"What do you think stay or go? It looks like we can't go through with out force."

"Why don't we hitch a ride?" June said.

"I agree." said Peter. It was voted to go and move towards the great lakes until we saw a ship to hitch a ride on.

It was quiet as we made plans. I move the bus quietly back to the city wall. A knock on our door stop me progress. Peter was the other person awake.

"Are you leaving?" said Ellinor at the door that Peter stood in.

"Yes we talked about it we feel that we should go."

"This could be a good home your trades would be helpful. I don't see the appeal out there Utah could be a dead zone." She argued.

"Ellinor he took away our choice. I am sorry." Peter said. She backed up and Daina stepped froward.

"Will you take William?" She handed him the baby. Ellinor gave us a nanny goat with milk.

"For your help. Thank you."

They left into the night I continued to the gate. at the gate we slipped out closing behind us was Ellinor waving bye. I took us towards the lakes.
