"After spending a blissful day at the beach—swimming and tanning—Rayne and Julian decided to start making plans to head back home."
Rayne rested her head against her hand while scrolling through her system panel.
"How big do you think the RV should be? Not too big right?", she asked Julian.
"Yeah, I think something smaller and more compact would be less eye-catching and easier to drive. But also big enough to support the people traveling and storage for the goods", replied Julian.
Rayne flipped between a few options. The first one was a very box-like shape. The thing she liked most about it was its 2 bedroom design. Instead of having one large bedroom with a single large bed, it had two smaller rooms with two twin beds each.
The other option she was considering was a slightly larger RV that was fully equipped with solar panels and a lot of storage space. The downside was that it only had one very large bedroom.
"If you can't decide, why don't you take them both out and look inside? It might give you a better picture", suggested Julian, seeing the struggle in her eyes.
"Great idea!", her eyes sparkled and she gave him a grateful look.
She stepped outside and took out a copy of both RV's. Almost immediately she crossed off the box-looking RV.
It looked like a futuristic van, with silver glass-like panels covering all sides.
"Pfft! HAHA", laughed Julian as soon as he saw it, "I can't believe something like this even existed. Where did you get this?!"
Rayne looked away, "Well...I may have gone to one or two car shows....after hours"
Julian nearly rolled over laughing. "Oh my goodness! Haha! This just keeps getting even better!".
His hearty laughter caused Rayne to smile. She shook her head looking at him, "Come on, let's check out this other one".
She stepped inside and was pleasantly surprised at how spacious everything felt. The walkway space was very wide, wider than the hot tub RV they were currently staying in, even though it was smaller overall.
"Oh I like this", said Julian as he stepped inside.
He walked to the bedroom in the back and nodded, "I think this one will work perfectly. There are so many storage areas, it's perfect for what we're looking for".
Rayne looked around, "You're right. I'll just swap out this huge beg for smaller ones. That way three people could easily sleep in here."
Having settled on the RV, Rayne and Julian packed everything back up and hopped back into the SUV to head back to base.
As they approached the mountain, Julian pulled over to a remote spot along the highway so that Rayne could hop out and prepare the RV.
She took it out of her system and replaced the beds and a few other pieces of furniture with ones that made more sense for the caravan.
She also took this chance to fill the interior with bags of various coffee beans, hygiene supplies, clothing, and a few other things.
In the undercarriage storage compartment, she placed multiple large containers of gasoline. Since the caravan will spend most of the time on the road, keeping the car fueled was very important.
After she finished, she took a seat in the driver's seat and followed Julian down to the familiar forest path.
As they pulled into the settlement, Rayne expected to be swarmed with people as usual, but she only saw people frantically running around the place.
She quickly parked the RV and ran out, trying to figure out what was going on.
