Hi all. This story is a total AU, written in honor of the Sturgis Motorcycle rally that will be coming up soon enough. Inspired by Kinsey and her little Montana story and because I've been wanting to write something just fun. This is Dedicated to my sis-in-law and OneTreeFan. I also have to say here, if you haven't went and read Montana by KinseyJo please go do so soon! It's a great story!
Ok the assumptions for this story (and yes I know what assumptions do): Elliot did not get his ex wife el prego, they got divoraced, him and Liv are a couple as are John and Casey and Fin and Melinda. All are going to Strugis with their bikes to check out the festivities. So please enjoy and then review...
Sturgis '07
Chapter 1- Hittin' the Road
It had been Fin's idea to take everyone, himself, his woman, Melinda, John, Casey, Elliot and Olivia on a little vacation. He had always wanted to see the famous Sturgis motorcycle rally and since John and Elliot were avid riders as well he decided what could be more fun than taking everyone, renting one of those huge motor homes with room in the back for the bikes and heading to the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Cap could have been more than thrilled, losing all of his detectives at once but things had been slow and he figured, what the hell, let them all go and get some R&R. By a miracle Melinda and Casey were able to take the time off as well and so the plans were made.
Elliot and Olivia were at Elliot's apartment trying to pack. They were leaving today and it had been quite some time since Elliot had vacationed anywhere so he was glad that he would be getting away. It had also worked out that his kids were on vacation with their mom and step dad in California for a month, so he wouldn't have to feel bad about leaving for three weeks either. "Liv have you seen..." he stopped when he saw Olivia holding up the item he was looking for. "Thanks babe." he said.
"No problem. Oh El, this is going to be so much fun." Olivia said. "You know, Casey and I have been talking about getting tattoos while were out there."
This took Elliot by suprise, he had several of his own but it was something that he could never see Liv or the straightlaced Casey doing. "Oh really? Where?" he asked.
"Thats for us girls to know and you and John to find out, maybe." Olivia said with a smile. "Now hurry up, Fin and Melinda will be here any time."
Elliot finished packing his duffle and took it to the door to find Olivia's pile of luggage. "Liv are you taking all this stuff?"
"Yeah. Why?" Olivia said, "I hear that the weather in South Dakota gets extreme at times."
Elliot just laughed because shortly after that Fin rang the buzzer. "You guys ready to go? Mel and I are down here waiting." Fin said from down stairs.
"Yeah, just let me get Liv and her suitcases and we'll be down. Hey do you want to load my bike for me while your waiting?" Elliot said in to the intercom.
Fin didn't respond so Elliot figured that he was doing as he asked. He hollered to Olivia and began hauling suitcases out to the elevator. When they reached down stairs Fin was loading Elliot's bike and Olivia ran out the door hugging Melinda Warner. "Hey Mel! Aren't you excited about this trip?"
Melinda responded by laughing and saying, "Yeah, it is going to be so great to get away for three whole weeks with my man!"
After they finished loading Elliot and Olivia's stuff they went over to Casey Novak's where she and John Munch were waiting for them. Again Casey had almost as much stuff as the other two girls and they laughed and talked while the guys did all the work.
Once they were all settled in the huge motorhome with the bikes in back, Fin at the wheel and Melinda riding shotgun, Elliot brought up the subject again of Olivia's tatoo. "So Liv where is this tatoo your getting going to be?" he asked again.
"Yeah Casey. Where is yours going to be?" John asked, looking at her over the tops of his glasses.
Both girls laughed and put their heads together for a minute, then said in unison. "We aren't telling you!"
"Casey, Liv, girl what aren't you telling?" Fin asked from the drivers seat.
"We aren't going to tell Elliot and John where we plan to get our tatoos at the rally." Casey informed their other friend.
"You guys are getting tatoos? Really? Can I go with you?" Melinda asked, from her place in the passenger seat up front.
"Sure Mel. It will be a total girl thing." Olivia said, looking at Elliot and giving him a naughty grin.
After that everyone settled down, John fell asleep his head resting on Casey's shoulder. It made Elliot want to take out a marker and draw on his face. Liv was listening to her MP3 player and Casey was looking out the window watching the senary go by. Elliot decided that he had to do something before he went ahead and drew on Munch's face so he leaned forward and asked Fin. "Hey do you want me to drive for a while?
"Naw man. I'm cool." Fin said. He enjoyed driving and didn't get to do it to often. He looked over at Melinda, she had fallen asleep reading a medical journal. He reached over and pushed the hair off her brow run his fingers down her cheek.
Further down the road, after John had woken up and Melinda had as well, she joined them in the back and they began to play cards. "So what do you girls want to play? Strip poker?" John asked, shuffling the deck.
"No!" the girls all said at once and then laughed.
"Mel is there another deck of cards in here?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, what are you thinking of playing?" Melinda asked.
"Bull shit." Olivia said.
"Yes! This game is hilarious!" Elliot said to John. "We have to play it."
"Well what are the rules?" John asked.
Olivia explained the game to him and they began to play. John loved it, but ended up with the almost the whole deck before they were done because he kept calling bull shit on everyone. It was also by that time that Fin decided he wanted a little cuddle time with his woman so he said to Elliot, "Hey El, man you want to drive for a while?"
"Sure Fin." Elliot said. "Liv, hon, do you want to come and ride shot gun for me?"
"Sure baby. Just let me get the CDs out of my bag."
Fin pulled over at the next gas station where they fueled up and got snacks. Then Elliot climbed into the drivers seat of what they had christened "The Monster" and Olivia took the seat next to him, sliding the CD that was a mix of some of her and Elliot's favorite rock songs in the player. The first song to come on was AC/DC's "Hells Bells". They all began to rock out and headed on down the road to South Dakota and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
