Nothing more lovely to be scorched by the sun in the middle of summer, a time that was supposed to be enjoyable. But three people in their teens were stuck outside a white and rickety old home. They were traveling to the heart of texas for a music festival, a fun little road trip for the three of them..or so it seemed anyway, if it weren't for the blue haired coward, they would've already been on their way.

"Are you sure about this?!" Jonathan said clinging to the wooden rail of the mere three-step staircase while his friends attempted to pry him off.

"Yes Jonathan we've already told you a hundred times! And we'll tell you another time you idiot! We're taking turns driving and Doll will be driving most of the time! She drives 10 miles under the speed!"

"Yeah..wait..Hey!" The taller woman exclaimed,"I may be slow but we got to last year's festival in time now didn't we?" she huffed before tucking a grey strand of hair behind her ears.

"Yeah you did, AN HOUR LATE." the red head stated as their friend watched, still clinging to the rail.

"Anyways..Jonathan sweetheart it won't be so bad..we'll have so much fun! I even baked goodies for us to snack on the way there!" The toon smiled, pulling on his left leg while Alice tugged on his right.

Alice had dropped his leg at the sound of that,"And what did you make exactly?" She said a bit eager. The lack of strength threw Doll back as she skitted backwards and landed on her rear end.

"Well..let me think." She said putting a hand on her chin, "I made cookies that are lying somewhere in that picnic basket. I also made muffins and a pitcher of lemonade!" She smiled

"Sounds great Doll, but it also sounds like you packed for a picnic." She chuckled.

"Did you bring a first aid kit? Because i'm scared Alice is gonna beat me to death over those cookies!" He glared, staring at her as he recieved the same glare.

"Oh, um yes..it's in the trunk but ill make sure that doesn't happen Alice." The toon reassured him

"Hey, Don't take the last one and their wont be any trouble..no one bakes better than Doll, she makes those cheap dollar cookies at the store!"

It was true that Doll was well known for her baked goods, she wasted this talent with her dream of being a flourist..but as of late she'd been working for someone else, paid her well and treated her well good too.

"Jonathan if you let go I'll let you have the first cookie!" Doll bribed, it was a good offer to anyone who had common sense.

"...Fine..but I call shotgun!" Jumping down onto the steps, he dashed to the side door , determined to sit up front.

There was a new problem,the keys were raised aboved their heads and had the car locked shut. The 'leader' of the group who was a hotheaded redhead named Alice, began to laugh hystarically,"I cant believe you thought that was actually going to work!" She snorted as Jonathan was smushed against the glass.

"You two are like children i swear." Doll sighed and snatched the keys out of Alice's hands.

"Hey you said I could ride up front!" Alice pouted and crossed her arms as Doll fixed the jambled keys.

"Mhmm I did." She nodded,"But no one touches my keys...especially after last time." The toon scoffed.

"It was one time Doll! I didn't mean to scuff up your favorite keychain!"

"You still owe me a new one!" she sighed before hesistanly opening the car and letting the two get in.

Doll was the most mature of the group, strong with her wits, and she was very kind. These two had been with her ever since they met over 5 years ago and she had to mother them and take care of them because apparently they didn't know how..but she sometimes overreacted due to her need of cleanliness and everything being in mint condition like her cream colored buggy.

"Alright who's navagating?" Doll asked, already knowing the answer.

Alice and Jonathan pointed to eachother at the exact same time, resulting in a sigh from Doll. Someone had to tell her where to go or they would get lost..

Jonathan spoke up,"Alice i don't know what you're doing, but im going to sleep so that's all you." He said curling up in the back, resting his arms behind his head.

"Alice your turn." She replied with no hesistation.

"What?! Why me? Why not him?! He's the one who delayed us an hour by being a wimp!" The redhead argued.

"First of all,because your upfront. Second of all, be nice to him! Talking like that will get you no time to drive!"

"Fine.." she said slinking down into her chair and crossing her arms once more.

Doll gave a tiny smile and started the engine, someone like her would use a stick-shift. But Alice automatically reached for the knob on the radio, blasting it up to a ear-shredding 30 before Doll smacked her hand and turned it down,"Don't break my radio, you know you cant afford to buy me a new one."

"Me?! Im BROKE." She snorted,"Why not have your boyfriend buy you a better one?" Alice suggested before Doll haulted the car to a stop.

"Mr D. Toon and I are NOT in a relationship." She replied with narrowing eyes...

Jonathan and Alice were silent until they bursted into laughter, wiping tears from their eyes before the toon gave them a tough glare that only a mother could give to her children to make them behave..

"S-Sorry Doll but you and you're boss are in a relationship that's FAR from platonic." Jonathan chuckled.

"Yeah remember that one time we found you in the apartment while-" Alice poked

"WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT IT WAS ONE TIME OKAY?!" Doll's face went bright red and flustered all over.

"Sure just one time that you two-" Jonathan said while choking back on his tears from laughing.

"Yeah Doll, you even gave him a nickname!" Alice snorted "Your 'demon hubby' must be lonely since he has to get off his lazy butt for once and take care of himself!"

"I'm supposed to take care of him!" the toon replied.

"No, you're supposed to help him take care of the files and take phone calls, not baby him and literally do everything for him."

"Name one time i haven't done something he asked me too." She replied

"Alright then, what about when you massage his shoulders from his 'tenseness'.

Doll had gone silent after that..."Let's just get on the road already, we have a long trip ahead of us.." Doll turned her head, and sighed, calming herself and starting the car up.

The three had a long drive ahead of them...
