Bend, Oregon wasn't as sparse as Blue had expected. The doc had reserved them rooms at a place called the Shiloh Inn, which she said with a smile "isn't exactly the Hilton but not a Motel 6 either". Thankfully, Blue and Omega had a room to themselves, with the doc bunking down with Echo, Delta and Charlie, and Owen taking space with Psi and Chi. Since all of their rooms sported two queen sized beds, no one would have to sleep on the floor.

Dr. Gwen suggested pizza for supper, which sparked its own debate about toppings, but eventually Meat Lovers and Supreme won out and thankfully the place delivered. Charlie and Echo immediately headed for the pool--indoors, surprisingly enough--with Chi close behind but the middle brother not quite so enthusiastic, but following along docilely enough. Owen and the doc naturally went to supervise, with Delta staying behind in the "girls' room" to wait for the pizza and unwind with a little cable tv.

Blue, despite loving the water, wasn't really in the mood for swimming. Especially not with her sisters and brothers-in-law, God. She instead opted for an early steaming shower, running a towel through her wet hair and crawling into one of the beds in the room she shared with her mate, hugging a pillow as she curled in a ball of white tank top and shorts, damp dark hair and spring-tanned skin.
