I do not own The Lost Boys. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story Start

"Another road trip, should I be scared that you're driving?" Tiffani asked with a laugh from her spot in the front passenger seat. She yelped she was hit in the face with an empty french-fry container. "Not nice," she pouted looking out the window at the beautiful scenery they were driving past on their way to wherever they stopped.

"Shut up, and who said I was nice?" Lexi questioned with a smirk before sighing when she saw that she was starting to run low on gas. The ocean breeze that was blowing into the car through the opened windows relaxed her a little bit. She was growing tired of driving for the day, and she was not too comfortable with a hyperactive Tiffani driving through the night. "We need to stop soon," she said and she jumped in surprise at her friend's excited cheer.

"Awesome, I saw a sign a little ways back that said a town was a few miles ahead of us. We can stop there, find a place to stay, get gas, and explore the town for a few days," Tiffani said pulling a bottle of water out of her travel bag, which was between her feet. "Maybe this place will be interesting," she muttered before settling back into her seat.

"I hope so," Lexi said thinking of all of the other adventures they had enjoyed during road trips. "Well Santa Carla, let's see what you have to offer," she thought as she drove past the welcome sign to the city twenty minutes later.

"Well I have to say this place looks awesome so far. Everything and everybody is so unique and definitely out there," Tiffani muttered watching the new city pass by the window. She had rolled up the window after she caught that the city was the murder capital of the world, which she saw on the back of the welcome sign. She did not dare tell her friend yet. She would wait until they were eating waffles so her friend would not kill her. The waffles would save her.

"So time to get some gas and then we will find a place to stay before it gets dark," Lexi suggested pulling into a gas station, which was not too crowded. She had passed a few earlier, but they were either extremely crowded or had some suspicious individuals hanging around outside the buildings.

"I'll go inside and buy some snacks," Tiffani suggested about to get out of the car, but her friend pulled her back into her seat.

"You will stay here and watch the car," Lexi said seriously noticing the stares they were getting from a few people. "I don't want my car stolen while I go inside and pay for the gas before I can come back to pump the gas," she explained.

"You owe me. I get to run off and do something later, and you have to give me a ten minute start before you can chase after me and try to stop me," Tiffani said cheekily with a big grin.

"Five minutes, you will get too far away in ten minutes unless you see something shiny, a dog, or a squirrel," Lexi bargained.

"Ooh shiny," her friend teased, even though it was true. Something extremely shiny would always distract her when she was trying to explore. Dogs were awesome, and squirrels were just interesting. She always thought they were planning to attack her though when they saw her watching them.

"Funny, now please just watch the car. I might even buy you some cookies if you be responsible," Lexi said once again bargaining with her friend.

"I'll take the cookies, but hurry because my responsibility level is not so high, now be gone," Tiffani shouted dramatically before covering her eyes with one of her hands. "Your cookie-less presence disturbs me," she continued when Lexi did not move.

"You only get three minutes head start now," Lexi yelled back when she finally decided to leave her crazy friend and go pay for the gas and some cookies for herself and Tiffani. "She's not the only one who gets treats," she thought with a chuckle.

"You new in town?" the cashier asked her when she brought two bags of cookies to the register.

"Just stopping here for now with my friend, short vacation," she explained while the cashier rung up the cookies and took her money for gas.

"Is that your friend?" the cashier asked slightly shocked before bursting into laughter. "I've seen weird, strange, and crazy here in Santa Carla, but I know for a fact your friend is a new category," he continued while pointing out the window.

Lexi almost dropped the bags of cookies, which she had removed from the counter, as she turned to look out the same window. Her jaw dropped when she saw Tiffani sitting on the hood of her car barking at people. "For goodness sakes, she's even clawing like a cat at people who come near the car," she thought before bursting into laughter.

"Have a nice vacation," the cashier told her before wiping a tear from his eye. "Tell your friend she'll fit right in here in Santa Carla," he chuckled before losing himself to laughter again.

"Thanks," Lexi said taking her receipt and cookies outside of the building. "Tiffani, get off the hood of my car," she snapped.

"Back, this be me friend's car, you hear? Any of you land-lovers try to hurt this mighty vessel and you'll be swimming in Davy Jones' locker with the fishes, the mean fishes with big sharp teeth," Tiffani was shouting in her best pirate imitation voice at the other customers of the gas station.

"Oy, pirate Tiffani, get off my car, or I won't share any of the cookies with you," Lexi threatened and her friend immediately slid off the hood of the car, grabbed a bag of cookies from Lexi's hands, and jumped into the front passenger seat.

"Me treasure, me chocolate, crunchy, delicious treasure," Tiffani crowed before she began to devour the cookies.

"I worry about you sometimes," Lexi muttered before she pumped the gas into her car.

"Good, you should, you should always worry, especially worry about what I'm going to do tonight when you give me a three minute head start," her friend teased coyly.

"I should put a shock collar on you or a tracking device on you at all times," Lexi grumbled even though she was wearing a smile on her face. "Lord, help her, but I don't know what I'd do without her," she thought before closing the lid of her gas tank and putting the pump back in its original place. She slid into her seat and started the car. "Time to find a place to stay," she said pulling out of the gas station and onto the main road.

"I want to be close to the beach if possible," Tiffani said happily wiping the crumbs from the cookies off her shirt.

"So you can pretend to be a mermaid again like you did at the last few pools that were in the last hotels we stayed in?" her friend questioned her with a raised eyebrow.

"Everybody loves to pretend to be a mermaid, whether they like being the pretty nice mermaids or the awesome sirens that entrance men to their deaths," Tiffani said deviously towards the end as she rubbed her hands together.

"You definitely pretend to be a siren," Lexi added.

"Best way to be," Tiffani replied before her eyes grew wide at the sight in front of them.

The ocean sparkled in the afternoon sunshine as it crashed against the golden sand populated by the tourists and locals of the town. Brightly colored umbrellas, towels, and swimsuits dotted the beach. Ice cream kiosks moved slowly on the concrete path separating the beach and the road. However, the grand sight was the boardwalk towering above the beach and the ocean waves. The boardwalk had many shops and attraction rides. Carnival food signs and games lined almost every gap on the structure.

"I know where we are going tonight," Lexi whispered after seeing Tiffani's excited expression. "Well at least I get to have some cotton candy or funnel cake," she continued and she laughed when her friend's eyes looked straight at her. "You can have funnel cake too, just don't ask for extra powder sugar," she said and received a pout.

"But I love powder sugar," Tiffani said before pointing towards a hotel that was near the boardwalk, and the hotel seemed somewhat nice. It wasn't a grand five star hotel, but at least a nice three star. "Let's stay there so we can be within walking distance of the boardwalk," she suggested giving her best puppy dog pout.

"Sounds fine to me, I'm hungry anyways so maybe the boardwalk will also have some good food, and don't' even ask. You cannot just eat funnel cake and ice cream to count for dinner. You at least need some nachos," her friend teased knowing how much Tiffani loved nachos.

"Nachos! All right, you win, I will eat some real food before devouring all of the funnel cakes and ice cream in sight," Tiffani agreed as her friend drove into the hotel parking lot.

"It's a good thing you run around all the time," Lexi told her friend before the two girls left the car, locked it, and entered the hotel to get a room.
