The tunnels

Every now and then when I'm out with my family or friends in a new town, I like to explore it as much as possible. The exploration usually starts from our hotel.
This time my family and a couple friends went with me. We decided to go into the town's underground tunnels. They were just another polished part of the city, like a subway without any trains. It was pretty cool. we wandered around, and every now and again we came across doors that looked like they led to the surface, and we'd send someone up to see where they led. One time I went up, and it was another door inside our hotel.
After I got back down, I noticed my family had wandered off without me. I got really upset and worried. Mostly because I didn't want to be down there alone. I looked around and found some vending machines. There was a little kid standing around them, I didn't know what he was doing, because everything was extremely overpriced. ($10 for a small container of cookies that was barely bigger than my fist, $3 for a strip of gum.) He kicked one of the machines, and sparks flew out. he got a piece of candy from it, and ran off. When I looked over, my brother was in his place. He said he didn't know where they had gone, but had wanted to wait for me. I was so grateful, I bought us both snacks.
We decided to wander around and look for the rest of the family. We headed up towards a door to the surface, and were surprised to find out that it opened to the check out area of a grocery store. We apologized for bothering them, asked for directions, and headed back down. One of the cashiers was wearing a jacket that had the same print as my purse. I shouldn't have been surprised at that, but I was.
My brother and I wandered around more, and came across a room filled with free stuffed animals that people didn't want anymore. I immediately went for what I thought was a kangaroo, but turned out to be a mouse. I put it back, and instead grabbed a fox for my best friend. My brother was looking for a familiar character within all the plush, and was having trouble finding one. He said he'd be right back, because he thought he heard Mom. I said Okay, and continued looking through the animals for an alpaca. I found one, and my brother got back with my mom and the rest of our group.
I was outraged when they said they had all taken group photos without me. I don't know why, but it made me really mad. They had gone to see cool new places, wandered off without me when they said they would wait, and all the official memories they had of the place were going to be without me in them. I yelled at them, and when they said chill out and to watch a movie with them, I stormed off and went back to the hotel.
