Breakdown

They were driving down the interstate when they heard a peculiar noise coming from the front of the car. The engine was sounding more and more uncomfortable the longer they went on. Eventually Santana, who was driving, gently rolled the car to a stop before it could break down in the middle of the road. Brittany was at her side, with Quinn and Rachel in the back, all looking concerned with this new development. Mr Schu had sent the girls on the road trip. They were supposed to be visiting one of the schools they would be competing against at regional's, but the girls knew that their teacher only wanted them to bond. 'What the hell?' Santana said, as she looked at the smoke flowing past the car's windows.

'Santana, I told you this crappy car wasn't going to make it!' Quinn said from behind her.

'Look Quinn, don't start with me alright, you guys didn't want to take the bus just as much as I didn't. This car is all we've got.'

'Now what?' Rachel asked. As they sat, staring at the smoke rising from the deceased car.

'Now you guys wait here, and I will fix this.' Santana said, as she got out of the car, slamming the door behind her.

'We're screwed.' Quinn said to the remaining girls.

'Hey, no we're not. If anyone can fix a car it's my San.' Brittany said, defending her girlfriend. A few moments later, Santana slumped herself back into the car, looking very defeated. 'We're screwed.' Quinn repeated. All the girls nodded, and even Santana had to kind of agree.

'Okay, everyone try your phones.' Rachel said, and even outside of glee they had to put up with her bossy tone. However, they obeyed, knowing that it was really the only option. Rachel and Quinn had no signal, Santana's phone had died about an hour into the trip, and when they asked Brittany where hers was, she said that the cricket who reads to her at night stole it from her. Not a very good start.

'Well that's just great. What about a gas station? Did any one see us pass anything remotely linked to civilisation?' Quinn asked.

'Gas station, about twenty miles back.' Santana remembered. 'We could try for it but it would be dark before we got there.'

'Yeah I really don't fancy walking out there in the dark.' Rachel said, and they all silently agreed. 'How about, we wait a couple of hours, and if no one has come by we make for the gas station?' She suggested.

'Well, I guess yental's right, I mean I don't have any other ideas so.' Santana shrugged.

'Alright, fine. We'll give it until 5.' Quinn checked her watch.

'Great, a plan!' Rachel said a little too enthusiastically, and then they all laid back in their seats, and waited.
