This is a story written by AD Machine over on RPZ that he says is a long fanfic he had on his computer. I'm now helping him with it and I'm sure that by now you can tell my writing style from his. If you've seen my other CEC fics on here.

"Well guys, it's officially time to start our first ever cross-country road trip!", Chuck announced as he started the band's tour bus. "Just think, in 7 days, we'll have driven across the entire USA!"

"And, we'll be touring all over the place!", Jasper said, rolling down his window. "Fairs, parties, oh, maybe even the Super Bowl!" he added.He paused a moment and thought, and said, "Hmmm, that's over, so how do y'all feel about a whole bunch o' Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants?"

"But that's-a where we always are!", Pasqually groaned. "Ia wanted to-a perform in-a Little Italy!"

"Don't worry Pasqually, we'll get out a little bit!", Chuck said. "In fact, I've booked us a special gig tonight!"

"Well, I personally want to go to as many malls as I can!", Helen chimed in, looking at a brochure for Parmatown Mall, which, as the brochure advertised, was The biggest, newest, shiniest mall in Ohio!

"Why? Once you've seen one mall, you've seen them all, at least to me", Munch said, looking at Helen, confused. "I mean, yeah, the food court's great and all, but other than that...I just don't get it. It's just stores...right?". He looked down at his shoes bashfully.

"Wow Munch, I certainly hope April never finds out you were trash-talking malls!", Helen said, shooting Munch a glare. "I thought April loved malls!", she added. Munch fell opened his mouth as if to add something, but fell silent.

"Break it up guys! I-a don't-a wanna fight in-a the first ten-a minutes of the a trip!", Pasqually groaned, holding his head.

"You said it Pasqually!", Chuck said, pulling the van onto the highway. "Let's just enjoy this time we've got in each other's company", he added, looking in the mirror at the band.

"Arizona!", Munch announced two hours later as the van rolled down the highway. "That makes ten!", he announced to the bus. Unfortunately, nobody was really paying him any attention. Chuck was looking at the road, Jasper was strumming his guitar, humming Tokens to Ride, Helen was looking at more mall brochures, and Pasqually was reading a cookbook.

"Amazing Munch", Helen mumbled, unenthusiastic. "Aren't you a little, I don't know, old to be playing the license plate game?"

"Oh…..", Munch said sadly, "I'll stop". After a moment, he looked towards Chuck's seat, and asked, "So, Chuck, how're things going with Mitzi?"

"Umm, Munch", Jasper cut in, "Ixnay on the Mitzi-ay!", he said jerking his head in Helen's direction. Helen just looked out the window, sighing loudly.

"Was that Pig Latin?", Chuck asked. Jasper nodded, so he said, "That was pretty good". Jasper gave a little bow and Munch clapped softly.
