Here's chapter 3 of Drake and Josh's wedding adventure, this time with Trevor's car catching fire.
"Well at least we can get in to the car now, so maybe we can start it." Drake said as he and Josh changed the subject back to Trevor's car.
"We already tried that." Josh said to his brother thinking that they should maybe try to do some thing else first.
"Let's try it again alright. Get in the car and turn the key."
"Fine." Josh said as he headed past Drake and climbed in to the car.
"I'll look under the hood and see if I can figure out what the problem is."
"Right go," Drake started as Josh turned the key and started the car. Lot's of rattling was heard over the silence before Drake's voice pitched in, "Okay stop, stop, I think I see what the problem is come here." Drake finished as Josh opened the door and stepped out of the car on to the road and broken glass and walked round to where Drake was stood at the front of the car.
"You really think you see the problem?" Josh asked as he joined his brother.
"Yeah you see when you turned the key and it was trying to start that thing was hitting against that thing." Drake replied as he pointed to the parts of the car where the problem was.
"That thing there?"
"Yeah, yeah. You see those three wires there?" Drake asked Josh who was looking over his brothers shoulder.
"Yeah."
"I think they got pulled lose when that thing knocked against that thing."
"Oh well maybe we just reconnected those wires and pull that metal thing back." Josh suggested to Drake.
"Right," Drake said before leaning in under the bullet and started to reconnect the wires like Josh had suggested while Josh held the hood of the car up for him. Many sounds of little electrical sparks could be heard as Drake fiddled with the wires in the near dark, "There." Drake said as he finished reconnecting the wires.
"Let's give it a shot." Josh said as he and Drake ran round to the doors of the car. Josh jumped in to the passenger side and Drake climbed in to the drivers side of the old car.
"Cross your fingers."
"I'm crossing every thing that I've got." Josh replied crossing his fingers and then crossing his arms across his chest.
"Alright," Drake mumbled quietly before turning the key, hearing the engine starting, "Yes, alright, whoo!" Drake shouted as the car started. Josh smiled before leaning forward, kissing the dash board of the car.
"Yes, okay, okay, okay," Josh started as he looked at his watch, "Uh we missed the wedding ceremony, but if we hurry we can probably get the cake there before it's time to cut it."
"Oh which means Aunt Catherine's beach house will be ours." Drake smiled at the thought.
"Oh yeah baby." Josh replied also liking the idea of having Aunt Catherine's beach house.
However Drake and Josh could never get every thing to go the way that they wanted it to for too long. The hood of the car was still up and underneath the hood, fire sparked.
Drake and Josh's smiles instantly faded as they heard the slight explosion from under the hood of the car. They quickly opened their doors and climbed out the old car and headed round to the front of the car, shutting the doors behind them.
The pair stood watching the fire as it travelled towards them, both of them stepping back a step each time the fire seemed to get closer to them. As they continued to step back the fire spread to the driver and passengers part of the car. After exchanging looks with each other to the two looked back to the car to see the fire spreading to the back of the car where the cake was. Sparks began to fly off of the car as the fire spread even more becoming stronger with the air that surrounded it.
Drake started stepping around the car towards the back of it, Josh slowly and unsurely following his brother to the back of the car.
"What are you doing?" Josh asked.
"Well we need that cake to take to the wedding if we are going to stand any chance of getting that beach house."
"Yeah, but Drake getting that cake would be extremely dangerous," Josh replied trying to talk his brother out of picking the cake up out of the car, "You could burn your hands."
"I never said I was going to pick the cake up with my bare hands, I'll use my jacket." Drake replied as he took his jacket of wincing slightly as he took his right arm out of the jacket sleeve.
As Josh had already predicted Drake's attempt at picking the cake up failed and all Drake managed to achieve was losing his jacket to the fire as well as the cake. Now both Drake and Josh were walking away from the car heading up the road towards the church which they knew they wouldn't get to in time now.
As they walked Josh could feel his foot aching and decided to stop and rest for a moment. Drake saw his brother stop walking, so he did the same.
"Are you alright?" Drake asked genuine concern in his voice, some thing that some people never heard, but Josh was surprised that Drake was actually concerned for him and that he was actually showing it.
"Yeah my foot's a bit sore and my feet are a little tired that's all," Josh replied. He looked at Drake to see his brother shivering even more now as he now had no jacket to help keep him warm, "You cold Drake?"
"I'm beyond cold Josh, I'm frozen," Drake replied as he tried to wrap his arms around him self, each time failing due to the injury to his arm and each time he would wince before trying again. After numerous more attempts each one ending in the same way Drake spoke again, "Do you want to stop walking?"
"What do you mean by that Drake we should be trying to get to the church not stopping." Josh said trying to figure out what exactly Drake was meaning by that question.
"I mean do you want to just sit on the edge of the road for a minute to rest your foot." Drake explained realising that he had confused Josh a little by his sentence.
"Well we need to get to the wedding, so we shouldn't really stop and-"
"Look Josh," Drake started cutting his brother off, "To start with we aren't going to get to the wedding unless some one with a car comes along and says 'I'll drop you to the wedding' which with the luck we have had tonight probably won't happen, so we may as well rest for a few minutes we won't lose any thing." Drake explained.
"Okay I see your point." Josh said as he carefully sat down on the edge of the road. Once he was sat down he took this as an opportunity to take his shoe off of his injured foot. Drake sat down next to his brother minding Josh's foot as he took his shoe off and placed it on the ground beside him.
"So Josh." Drake started his voice trembling slightly from the cold.
"Yeah Drake." Josh replied their's voice seemed so loud above the silence, but they were actually speaking so quietly.
"Do you think mum, Megan and Walter are having a good time," Drake said, however when he only got silence as a reply he went in to more detail, "You know the three of them being in the warm and not injured and not having what might possibly be the worst time of their life having to sit on the side of a road." Drake finished his anger rising back in to his tone near the end of his explanation.
"Drake calm down," Josh started, "We will sort some thing out and we'll find away to get back home alright and if we don't get the beach house then it's not really the end of the world." Josh finished never once changing his calm tone to any other type or form of tone.
"Your right Josh, it's just that I'm getting so frustrated that we are stuck out here with nothing at all to eat, drink or get a hold of any one to take us home."
"It's alright Drake."
"It's not alright Josh. Trevor lent us his car on the promise that we give it back to him and now he can't have it back, because it's on fire."
"To be honest Drake even if we had given it back to Trevor it wouldn't have been worth much or up to much for any thing. The state that it was already in when we borrowed it and then the engine breaking and the tow truck guy smashing the window. Just explain what happened to the car to Trevor, he's your friend Drake he won't mind to much."
Josh's only reply was a sigh from Drake who was now hugging his knees to his chest with his left arm wrapped around them. Josh looked around and for a moment he thought that he could see light coming towards them.
Headlights from a car were coming towards them.
Maybe their luck was changing.
