"Seriously?" Daine was about to turn when Sami stopped her.

"Yes, seriously, but don't look."

"How are we supposed to tail them?" Daine said, realizing the fatal flaw in their plan, "They're our dads, they are freaking gods at this! They'll notice."

"Do you have their journal?" Sami asked.

"Yeah." Daine pulled out the really old leather book. They had also brought their grandfather's as backup.

"Okay, look at the date, what were they in town searching for?"

Daine flipped through the book, scanning the yellow-ish pages for the date, December 1st, 2011. "Here it is!" she said triumphantly then she found the proper page.

"What's it say?" Sami asked

"Hold on," Daine said, not looking up from the journal, "I'm reading." Sami tapped her fingers on the bar as she waited, and snuck another glance at their fathers. Their eyes looked the same, but everything else seemed so much younger, more alive. It was freaky.

"Okay," Daine said eventually, "They were looking for a..." she paused, thinking about how to say the word, "vet..ala?" She finished slowly.

"What the hell is that?" Sami said, taking the journal out of her cousin's hands.

"I guess it's some sort of vampire"

Sami groaned. "Ugh, I miss my Handtop."

"You and me both. Apparently they're staying at the Gray Motel and are heading back to mom's by Christmas." Daine said.

A moment passed before Sami said, "Wait, isn't he proposing this Christmas?"

"Yep!" Daine squealed. Her parents were so cute together.

"Then we definitely gotta keep him alive until then. And then we have to find our actual dad's from our time. They gotta be hanging around somewhere..."

"If by hanging around, you mean imprisoned and being tortured, then, yeah, they're totally hanging around." Daine said, giving her cousin a look.

"We've got to keep positive," Sami said, handing the journal back to Daine.

"Yeah, whatever," Daine said, putting the book away. "Let's get out of here."

Daine started walking to the door, and Sami followed, both knowing full well that they hadn't paid for their drinks.

"I can't believed you didn't pay for it." said Daine.

"They're still running on the old dollars and plastic here. I couldn't pay even if I wanted to." said Sami.

"Oh right, they're still green right now and they don't have ring cards."

"Plus, they're still running on gas instead of-" Sami stopped suddenly.

"What is it?"asked Daine.

"How the hell are we going to get to the motel when we have no car?"

Daine thought for a second. "Oh crap."

"Okay, let's just think about this..." Sami said, trying to keep calm

Daine did just that and after a moment said, "Okay, the way I look at it, we can do one of five things."

"Do I want to know what they are?" Sami asked, knowing the kind of mind her cousin had.

"Well, probably not the first two"

"We have to steal a car don't we?" groaned Sami.

"Sorry." shrugged Daine.

Then they looked around and realized there were no cars around.

"This sucks." mumbled Daine.

"Well I guess everyone lives close enough to walk here and back."

"Wait, there's one!" said Daine. She pointed at a red convertible. "Someone's going through a midlife crisis."

"Eh, the tops 's like they're asking for it anyways." Sami mumbled, sitting in the passenger seat.

"I love how much we've corrupted you." Daine said while hotwiring the car.

"Yeah, whatever, hurry up before we get caught" Sami said, checking to make sure no one was watching them

"There, done!" Daine said, smiling. "God, I love convertibles"

Then the bartender decided to run out screaming at that point.

"Uh Daine?"

"Yeah Sami?

"I think the car belongs to the bartender who's tab we skipped out on."

"Why would you say that?"

"BECAUSE HE JUST CAME OUT WITH A SHOTGUN!"

Daine looked at the bartender and hit the gas, leaving the homicidal bartender behind.
