Allyson had been told to meet them at the start of the Pacific Crest Trail. "Them" was a group of her old high school friends consisting of Melissa, Brenna, Rachel, Miki, and Rebecca. It all started a week ago when it was announce on the news that someone had gone missing somewhere along the Pacific Crest Trail. When the picture of the hiker was displayed on the television screen, Allyson saw it was one of her old friends Lindsey from high school. A couple of days later, Melissa had contacted her with the idea of reuniting their main group of friends in high school to hike the trail and search for Lindsey. Allyson was feeling nostalgic and curious, and she accepted the invitation.
When Allyson arrived at the Pacific Crest Trail, she recognized them at once. She couldn't remember how many years had gone by since she had seen some of them, ten years maybe. Her stomach was full of butterflies as she got out of her small electric car and approached everyone. After the standard greetings, she observed how the years had treated all of them. They all seemed very healthy and relatively happy. She recognized that everyone seemed prepared for the long hike, but she felt like she had packed too many warm clothes. If only she hadn't had temporary amnesia from being kicked in the head by an alpaca the morning that she packed. Oh well, it was too late to turn back now, hundreds of miles from home. Let the journey begin.
