I do not own The Lost Boys. I only own Shane, Willow, Mary, and Courtney.

Story start

I let out a small sigh as I stared out the window at the scenery. My boyfriend Shane had asked me to go on this road trip with him to California and I agreed, because it sounded fun. The fun meter went down a little when my two friends Mary and Courtney decided to invite themselves, and Shane annoyed me when he agreed to let them come. He told me this would our little getaway together, well that idea went right out the window.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Shane asked me as he trained his chocolate eyes and white smile my way. I gave him a side-glance before looking back at the window. My hands clenched into fists when Courtney's whiny sounding voice told Shane to just not worry about me. Shane looked at me a few seconds before focusing back at the road ahead of us.

Courtney was sitting behind Shane's seat and Mary was sitting behind me. Mary was the more sensible than Courtney. "Are you alright?" Mary asked me softly and I just gave her a small look before shaking my head.

"Are you mad at us?" Mary asked again and I heard a small sigh escape me.

"I'm not mad at you, only Shane and Courtney at the moment. Oh and if she doesn't stop talking only to Shane, which has made my already there suspicions grow, then I'm not regretting what happens next," I said in a heated whisper.

Mary looked over at Courtney, who was once again talking to Shane and making sure there was plenty of cleavage showing. "I'll tell her to cool it," Mary said with a shake of her head before moving away from me. I glared over at Courtney before focusing back on the scenery.

"Hey Courtney," Mary said drawing Courtney's attention away from Shane and Courtney sat back in her seat to look at Mary.

"What?" Courtney asked a little annoyed at Mary.

"Stop being a slut," Mary said loudly, which almost made me giggle, almost. Next Mary drew close to Courtney and whispered, "Before you piss someone off that you know you can kick your ass all the way to the moon." Mary threw a quick glance my way and I swear I heard Courtney visibly gulp in fear. I felt a smirk appear on my face as I stared outside.

It is true. I can hurt Courtney critically before she could even touch me. I have trained in karate ever since I was little; because my father taught it, and he would not have a daughter that could not protect herself. My mother was a police officer and she was more than happy with dad teaching me karate.

Now I am not some muscled to the extreme type of person. I am about 5'8" and I have lean muscles. My eyes remind me of amber and my hair is a dark red. My straight hair reaches the middle of my back. My skin is quite tan from working and training outside. My mother makes me do most of the yard work so safe to say I am stuck in the sun a lot.

Back in the car, Shane turned the radio on to a station of oldies and my eyes started growing heavy. I wished for something exciting to happen to liven up this trip before I fell asleep.

"Where the hell are we?" I heard Shane yell as I slowly started to wake up. I pulled my face off the window and looked around. We were in a parking lot close to what looked like a boardwalk. Lights were shining everywhere and outshone the stars in the sky. I let out a small yawn as I unbuckled and stepped out of the car.

"Hey guys," I said as I walked over to Shane and gave him a hug. He paused a moment before returning the hug. My eyes narrowed and I looked at Mary who also gave Shane a glare. Shane did not see our looks because he was too busy focusing on the boardwalk in front of us, which was filled with many people.

"So what's going on?" I asked ridding my face of the glare that it had earlier.

"I don't know. I was driving and I think I got us lost, but I do know we are in California, just not the part we were aiming for," Shane explained as he let go of me and went over to the car. I heard him lock the car and then he walked back over to me. Mary was now standing beside me as well. She was trying to keep me calm, which I am glad she does most of the time.

"Well how about we go ask around and find out where we are?" Mary asked before I could snap at Courtney, who was once again giving my boyfriend her hungry stare.

"Maybe her eyes will fall out," I thought as Mary grabbed my hand that was closest to her.

"Good idea, let's split up," Courtney said and she grabbed Shane's hand. Shane looked back at me and I just gave him a look that said he better not do anything with her. I am a big believer of be loyal to whoever you are with and that goes the same way for both people. I have always been loyal to Shane, but I am starting to get my suspicions about his loyalty to me. I do not put up with cheaters at all.

"Come on, he'll be fine. He cares for you too much to do anything with Courtney. Anyways this place looks fun so let's enjoy walking around," Mary said as she started pulling me toward the boardwalk. Shane and Courtney were no longer in sight. I let out a small puff of air as she pulled me forward by the hand. I walked faster and looped our arms together.

"Alright Mary, let's have fun," I said and she smiled at me being in a better mood. Under the surface though, I was a jittery mess. I was worried that Shane would indeed cheat on me. I have been cheated on before and betrayed by way too many friends to truly feel safe or comfortable in a relationship.

Mary and I walked around and I felt at home around all these people. They were so interesting. A few people were tourists, you could tell by their outfits. The rest of the people were locals and they were the most interesting. Punk rockers, muscled jocks, gypsy looking girls, and did I mention a bunch of bikers. I have a love for motorcycles. I have one at home that I ride every chance I get.

"I'm in heaven," I said and Mary laughed. She shook her head and pulled me over to a busy video store. We stepped inside and I smiled when I saw a beautiful white dog. "Hey boy," I said to the dog before Mary dragged me over towards the counter. A girl was there dancing around to the music playing in the store.

"Hey, excuse me," Mary said trying to get her attention, but the girl ignored her. "Rude much," Mary said and I looked around to try to keep from yelling at the register girl. I have a temper, came from my dad. I saw a man in some bright clothes and big glasses looking around the store with a smile on his face. I pulled Mary over to him with me and smiled at him.

"Excuse me, but could you tell us what city this is? My friends and I missed the sign when we drove in," I said politely and the man smiled.

"You're in Santa Carla," the man said and I nodded my head.

"Thank you," I said before Mary pulled me over to the horror section in the store. I laughed when her eyes went wide and then my eyes went wide as well. I just now realized that Santa Carla was where the Lost Boys were. "Find that movie," I said to Mary and we set off looking for it, because if the movie is nowhere on these shelves then I know we are in my favorite movie. The man that we had spoken to looked way too much like Max for my liking.

"Shit, Willow, want the good news or bad news first?" Mary asked me after we finished searching the horror movies.

"Good news," I said and Mary showed me that they had her favorite movie in the store, "Killer Klowns from Outer Space." "What's the bad news?" I asked and Mary told me that there was no copy of "The Lost Boys" anywhere in the store or in their movie list.

"Oh shit," I said before Mary pulled me out of the store. I felt Max's eyes on us as we ran out.
