Disclaimer: South of Nowhere, its characters, and anything that has to do with it are not mine, I'm just borrowing them to make a fan fiction ^_^

Summary: Takes place right after the tire of Ashley's Porsche is blown in the episode "Objects May Be Closer Than They Appear."

"See what happens when I do stuff for you Spencer? Sheesh," said an athletic, tan girl with a nose crinkling smile on her face. She was leaning on her Porsche with her arms crossed over her chest. She shook her head slightly causing her auburn locks to sway back and forth because of her hair being in a ponytail. She turned her head towards Spencer to look at her through her sunglasses.

"A-sh," Spencer whined drawing out the "A" in Ashley's name, "it's not my fault," she said as she stuck out her lower lip in a pout of mock hurt.

Ashley kept smiling her nose crinkling smile as she looked Spencer up and down from behind the safety of her sunglasses. She started at her milky colored legs, traveled up to the slight sight of her thighs, to her denim skirt, to her torso where her arms were crossed above her chest, to her face as the cool breeze blew strands of her silky golden hair into her face, then, finally, Ashley looked into her ocean blue eyes. Ashley uncrossed her arms and walked over to Spencer, putting her hands over Spencer's arms. She lifted her left hand to push her sunglasses up to the top of her head that way she could look Spencer fully in the eyes.

"I know it wasn't your fault Spence, I never blamed you for a minute," Ashley said in her low gravely voice as her chocolate brown eyes held Spencer's ocean blue ones. Spencer's eyes shined with delight as she gave Ashley a shy lopsided grin.

"Thanks Ash… I love you…"

"Humm… who doesn't," Ashley questioned with a smirk on her face, her ego flaring up just a bit. Spencer just rolled her eyes and started to turn away but was stopped by Ashley's hand on her wrist. She turned to see what Ashley needed, but instead she was met with a gentle kiss that made her breath hitch. Ashley slowly pulled away and looked into Spencer's eyes with all the love and care she had for Spencer placed behind her gaze. "I love you too… more than you can imagine," Ashley said in a low husky voice. Spencer's face slowly broke into a wide smile. She then gave Ashley a quick peck on the lips followed by a hug.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and try to hitchhike with some random stranger," said Ashley as she spun around and stood in front of her Porsche with her arm out in the hitchhiking position. Spencer laughed when a car sped by only to be followed by Ashley shouting vulgar words after it. Ashley kept this up for about five more minutes. With a few more cars passing by, and having no success, Ashley started to get frustrated.

"Why won't anyone pick up two hot chicks that are stranded in the middle of the desert," Ashley grumbled as she kicked the flat tire of her Porsche.

"You know Ash, I think I saw a diner about a half a mile back… Why don't we just walk there… Before it gets to dark," Spencer suggested with a slight shiver as she looked toward the setting sun.

Ashley paused and also looked at the setting sun, before looking to Spencer. Ashley turned and looked down the highway and thought how the night was when the creeps came out. Spencer was too innocent to have anything happen to her. Ashley walked over to her Porsche, opened here door, and took out her jacket that matched nicely with her top and jeans. She put it on, and then she turned towards Spencer with a small smile on her lips and said, "Well then, let's go!"

She made sure to lock her car, and then she started walking towards Spencer's side. Once she reached it, Spencer turned, and together they started walking towards the diner.

"Hey Ash?.."

"Yeah Spence?..."

"I'll race ya," Spencer shouted as she started running towards the direction of the diner. She slowed to a jog, but as she kept jogging, she turned her head and stuck her tongue out at Ashley.

"Oh-ho, you are so-o on," said Ashley as she started running after Spencer.

While the girls where chasing each other having fun, they both failed to notice when Ashley's cell phone fell out of her pocket, making the slightest sound as it fell unto the soft dirt. The continued on, leaving one of their last hoped behind in the dirt, on the side of the road.
