a true story which happened to me and knox tuesday
THE ICKTEA TRILOGY~ an astonishing true story of two girls who dared to do the unthinkable
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One fine day in early December, Naia and Alex had boarded a charter bus to brave the three-hour, excruciatingly boring ride to the Baltimore Aquarium. Several events took place leading up to the one I am about to relate, but they are not relevant. The two girls had woken early and were craving caffeine. Then the "fun" began. Naia discovered that she had in her possession several "awake" teabags of the tazo brand. Now, if you are of the intelligent type, you will be aware that under normal circumstances, certain things such as a stove and a kettle are needed to brew tea. however, if you ARE of the intelligent type, you will also know that naia and alex are by no means "normal".
[attempt #1]
Alex pulled out her water bottle as Naia held a teabag. A significant look was exchanged between the two *geniuses or nitwits, however you will choose to judge us after reading this*. The water bottle was, for the next hour or so, held in place over the bus's heating vent by Alex. And then they reached Baltimore.
The bottle was left in the bus for three hours while the group of students enjoyed the aquarium and the hard rock cafe. Unfortunately, by the time they had returned the bottle had fallen and rolled to God only knows where and a substitute "makeshift teakettle" had to be found.
[attempt #2]
The second water bottle was more full and took a considerably longer time to heat up. The water had just begun to get warmer and Alex and Naia were close to rejoicing, when the accursed thing fell on the floor and rolled away. Alex reached down to get it and pulled up the first (now cold) water bottle. And the other was nowhere to be found.
[attempt #3]
Now quite irritated, Alex placed the first water bottle BACK on the heater. After several more turns of dropping the bottle, there was one thing to say: "the water is hot!"
Quickly, (before it was dropped and lost again) they put the teabag into the water and shook the bottle. The tea actually began to steep and they exclaimed in amazement, "it's working!"
Then Alex brought up the issue of the fact that they hadn't brought any sugar, and they briefly entertained the idea of puttin bits of pocky in it, but they simultaneously realized two things: they'd already finished off the pocky earlier, and that would be disgusting anyway.
Finally it ended with Naia holding the "tea" while Alex squeezed juice from her clementine into it (and, i might mention, all over Naia as well) At that point, a tragic discovery was made- the teabag had broken. They looked at their five-hour effort and agreed that "it looks gross."
It took a while to work up the nerve, but after not too long, they tried it and concluded that it was completely disgusting, and as Alex later exclaimed when she (for reasons yet unknown) took a big swig of it, "I swear it's gotten WORSE! it must be fermenting!!"
And so from this fantastic trip, they went the next day to school, and so passed, as it was later said, "from fits of freedom to spasms of imprisonment."
