Marianne watched the settlers pour out onto the street then she meandered over to eavesdrop on the leader as he walked over to Chris and Vin. She waited until Chris and Vin were alone then she crept up behind them.
"Road Trip huh?" She asked brightly. Both gunslingers jumped.
"Geez Marianne!" Vin said turning to face the petite Prankster.
"Sneakin' up on a man like that could get ya killed." Chris said with a wry smile.
"Naw...I've seen your aim." Marianne smiled saucily.
Chris rolled his eyes.
"So when do we leave?" Nutmeg asked cheerily walking up to stand next to her Partner-in-Crime."
"'We' don't. You're staying here." Chris said firmly.
"Ah Chris..." Joanie said with a drawl, appearing behind them. "You aren't thinking of leaving us behind?"
"It'll be safer." Vin argued.
"For us..." Marianne asked with a decidedly mischevious grin. "Or you."
The trio formed a huddle and discussed something in a stage whisper.
When they were done they turned back to Chris and Vin and folded their arms across their chests."We're going." They chorused firmly.
Chris and Vin shared a look then sighed.
"A'right." Chris said resignedly before he and Vin walked away.
The three Pranksters looked at each other grinned and choursed. "ROADTRIP!!!!"
