Time travels are hot right now (right, Melissa and Ciara?) so I thought we'd have a time travel inspired writing prompt.
My story start isn't time travel (not my genre) but your start could be!
Gina stared up at the big yellow bus, straight out of a 1950's school ad. "And where ARE we going? Back in time?"
"Close." Brandon Quest, eccentric billionaire, passed the queue, tossing his worn canvas knapsack onto the driver's seat. HE was driving? "Keep guessing. If you're right, you get an exclusive."
That caused a twitter amongst the other reporters. An exclusive with Quest could make a newsperson's career.
"But if you're wrong," the athletic man hung out of the bus, "you're on map duty." He hopped off, his boots crunching on the gravel. "Everyone on the bus. Let's get going." He gestured inside. "Sparky?"
That was Miss Sparks, not Sparky. Gina gave Bob, her snickering cameraman, a mournful glance, and trudged her way to the front of the line.
"Here you go." Quest handed her a giant map. "You'll be navigating the first leg."
She was navigating? Gina stared down at the piece of paper. She got lost in her own closet. "You don't know where you're going?" No, he had to. He was leading this expedition.
"Nope." Big grin. "Never been there before. Top secret location, even from me. First stop is here." He tapped the x marked on the map.
Where were they now? She frowned at the paper. The town started with 'B', she was sure of it.
"We're here." Another tap. The man openly laughing at her.
They had to get from there to there. Gina chewed on her bottom lip. There was a big blue blob between the two spots. Blue was water, right? Right?
"We're going on an adventure, Sparky."
He had no idea.
