4am was an ungodly hour for most people on this island but not Alice. She had a brainwave and was thinking about dragging Lynn on an adventure. As it was Sunday most people were either off or just getting out of a nightclub by now. * ring ring ring * Lynn's ringtone wasn't going to stop anytime soon as Alice was patient. She already sipping her coffee already wide awake. Now was Lynn going to take the bait? Lynn Carpenter

Whoever's calling better have a good reason, Lynn mused as the sounds of her cell rang in her on-campus apartment dorm. Yawning to try and get a start on waking up for the day, she looked at the time. Her eyebrows shot up at the time and she whispered "Who knew I was so popular? as she picked up the phone. "Hello?"

Hearing Lynn answer the phone Alice smiled and sounded way too cheerful for that time in the morning. "Good morning Lynn. What do you think about getting breakfast then going to the beach for water fun? Then we can figure out what we'll do after that later". Alice could deal with water just fine though you might not think it. They could also pick up a bag of supplies after breakfast and keep going all day. Lynn Carpenter

"I can be at the university at 5am. Bring a swimsuit along with your beach bag. See you then". So with a time almost nailed down Alice was able to think about getting organised herself. A swimsuit under a dress would work just fine. Lynn Carpenter

"I can be at the university at 5am. Bring a swimsuit along with your beach bag. See you then"."Sounds good; see you then," Lynn replied, setting her phone down and figuring out what to wear. She already had one outfit picked out, now she just had to pick out a swimsuit for the trip. "Time to shower and get dressed," she said quietly as she got up from the bed, looking forward to the day ahead. Alice Seraphim

Now things were set up Alice had to get ready herself. So draining her first coffee of the day she firstly picked out a red dress that was short sleeved and short. Then figured it would be easier to keep things simple. A silver grey swimsuit would work for her. So after her shower she slipped on the swimsuit as she'd dry out after the water fun anyway. Then slipped the dress over it and settled for a pair of deck shoes. She'd also need a hat to keep the sun off and picked out a white floppy hat for that purpose. Then she set off to the university. She could see people getting out of the clubs by now but the day Alice and Lynn had in mind was only starting. Pulling up in front of the university she waved to Lynn. First stop would be a diner breakfast and a supply run if Lynn thought they needed it. Lynn Carpenter

After getting her shower< Lynn dressed and slipped on a pair of Sketchers; grabbing a small backpack she made sure her swimsuit was ready to go along with a light-brimmed hat. Making sure her apartment door was closed and locked, Lynn bounded downstairs, a spring in her step. Exiting the front entrance, she saw Alice waving and waved back, joining her inside her vehicle.

"First stop is breakfast. Then getting supplies if you think we need them" Alice cheerfully mused as Lynn got strapped in. Then they took off again with a stack of hash browns and eggs on her mind. Food even army cooks couldn't mess up. She then had another question as they left the university behind. "Do you want to go back to Maidens Point or try somewhere else?" She also had her strappy purse and beach bag lying on the back seat ready for action. Lynn Carpenter

Food even army cooks couldn't mess up."Sounds good," Lynn said as they headed off. Hearing her question about where they were headed, she laughed and said, "Oh, that's where we're headed?" adding with a bit of snark, "so they think we're maidens, huh? Pfft," laughing uproariously at the humor of the place. Alice Seraphim

Alice kept her eyes on the road slowing down a little. "It worked last time we went there and this time is about fun not work" she mused cheerfully. "Yeah some island legends are dumb" she added as they weren't to far away from breakfast. So the 24 hour diner was the place they first pulled up at. They could even get takeout if they needed to keep breakfast for later on. Lynn Carpenter

"Exactly," Lynn said, looking forward to a bit of fun in the sun. "But most legends usually have a morsel or two of truth in them; maybe there were a couple maidens who visited there once," adding as they pulled up to the diner, "maybe we're descended from them." Alice Seraphim

Alice had explored ancient ruins with Damon and given those existed along with treasure who really knew how far habitation of this isle went back? With habitation you had legends and fragments of those continued to this day. Next they entered the diner as they kept talking. "There well could have been maidens and vampires for all we know and it got turned into a legend. As to your other thought..." Alice replied as she shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Who knows what our ancestors got up to. I don't even know where to start with mine but wings are a stable mutation. At least one of my parents or a grandparent had them". She politely asked the waitress for hash browns, sausages and runny fried eggs along with a pot of coffee. That would fit her requirements quite well. Lynn Carpenter

"Scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy and sweet tea," Lynn told the waitress. Thinking about Alice's comment on history she quipped, "That might be something worth looking up at some point; one of the history professors at the university mentioned legends in class once. I might ask them about Maidens Point sometime. "As to our ancestors? I don't even know where I can start with mine other than going back to my roots in Missouri and diving in there but given I'm persona non grata there," pausing as she mused her options, "perhaps there are other ways to find out. I'll check around with the university and see what comes up." Alice Seraphim

If anybody knew it would probally be a history professor. Even knowing if there was more to the Maidens Point legend would be helpful for that question. "If you check with a professor at your end I'll check at mine. I can pass it off as professional curiosity I suppose" Alice mused. Then came the other question. Even their choice of breakfasts were partly influenced by the places they grew up in. "The university records might help but if you could access their local history records by computer there could be tales of oddities there. They wouldn't have been known about then but folklore does have enough truth and reality in it. I know I started out life in New York State so that's where I would need to look for people with wings. It was much easier to hide even a century ago than it is now". Lynn Carpenter
