The Harris Map

So this is what happened, Im not telling you this is what really happened, just what happened.

I was talking to my friend Arthur about how we were going to go on a road trip at the end of our sophomore year, just him and me, a girl and a boy, no sexual tension around, a completely normal situation, when we agreed that a normal road trip wouldn't be the best, we wanted another kind of road trip, we realized that in order to do that we would have to steal the famous Harris map.

Arthur is a really cool guy, we have been friends since we where little, so we know everything there is to know about each other, we have seen each other pee, well at least when were little. So why I am telling you this?, its one of my points to why there is no sexual tension between us.

Point number two, we don't like each other that way. I mean we are going on a road trip where there probably wont be showers and we will smell, so if we really liked each other that way, well that would be weird, and disgusting.

Point number tree, our parents used to date in high-school, how awkward would that be if we dated, its just, well you get the idea. We have no interest in becoming our parents in ANY way.

And of course, yeah this is point number four, Arthur has a girlfriend, they have been together for 2 years now. So I know my best friend, I know he wouldn't cheat on his girlfriend with his best friend.

While planning our road trip Arthur made the perfect plan to steal the Harris map.We would break in the middle of the night to the Harris estate. We would feed the dogs with yummy beef so they wouldn't bark, we would then climb the tree outside old Harris writing room, we would take the map and make a run for it. Of course that wasn't exactly how things happened.

I guess it wasn't the perfect plan after all.

The Harris map is wanted by many, folk tale says that if you have the Harris map you can go back and forth though this world and another one, but you have to be able to move at a quicker speed than an average human does.

The Harris map was supposed to belong to Captain Therraviacas, an ambitious pirate (I know right?) who wanted all the wealth in the world, and when he finally achieved that, he wanted all the wealth in this world and other worlds. So he made a deal with the mermaids ( crazy right?) and Im not sure what he gave them in exchange for the map, but he finally had in his hands a way into another world.

The mermaids told him (because they could swim really fast, go figures) that in order to enter the other world he would have to be able to travel at the speed of 754 MPH ( don't ask me how the mermaids said that) and when he finally did that he would have to shout out loud " MERCATIUS FORENTIUS MUNDIATUS".

Ohh god, I cant believe I forgot to tell this part of the story but another thing was requested to be able to use the map, you had to be traveling at high speed and scream those words with someone you truly loved by your side (crazy cheesy mermaids ha!).

Now the problem with Captain Therraviacas was that he didn't love anyone, not now, not ever, and nobody really loved him in return, he was hard as stone, his heart was cold and only greedy.

So you can picture the rest of the story, or can you?

Captain Therraviacas never found someone to love him or to love in return, and the precious map was said to have a terrible curse, because the Therraviacas were able to reproduce and have a son ( but still with no love in their hearts) , only one son, but never ever ever ever ever to love.

And this son would inherit the map, and the curse, and then would have another bastard son and so on and so on.

The Therraviacas eventually progressed to be Herraviacas, then Harrviacas, then Harrvics, then Harris, and the last on the line right now is old man Harris. Who has a son, but lives elsewhere and has no interest in folk tale, he is determined to find love.

We know he left town for good, and now the map has no heir, and WE WANT IT.

Arthur thinks it would be so cool to visit another world, I mean we do plan to come back, I don't want to leave my family behind forever, and he does not want to leave Natalie (That is his girlfriend) forever, and we just think that visiting Europe or something like that would be a cliche, so we want more, we wanna feel like Christopher Columbus did when he discovered America, or something like that.

Plus our parents already agreed to let us take a road trip, they just don't know where we are going.
