Chapter 4

The owls eventually remembered what they'd gotten the suitcase out for in the first place, and got the deck of cards out. Twilight started them off with poker. It turned out everyone knew how to play poker, they just all knew different versions.

Somehow they got from that to playing go fish. Well, all of them but Soren. Soren had moved back to the front to help Han with the road map.

Twilight sighed. "Well this is boring." He said. He leaned back a little.

"Then get a different game." Kludd told him. It was clear Kludd was bored too though. He was starting to shred his claws into the cards. For the sake of Soren's cards they needed a new game.

Digger sighed. "I don't know anything other games." He admitted.

Kludd grinned. "I know one."

"I don't like where this is going." Gylfie muttered. She was ignored.

Kludd continued. "It's called stop the car."

Twilight leaped back up. "I've heard to that game!"

Soren turned his head partiually towards them. Digger, the one with the best brain in the back, covered them. "It's a card game." He lied.

Kludd opened his mouth to object and Gylfie shot a card into his mouth. Digger flew up to the front, pressing a button that put a wall between the front and the rest of the car, like they had in limos. Of course that wouldn't be enough, Soren could still hear them, he was a barn owl. So Digger stayed up there and talked to him to distract.

"I'm almost afraid to ask, but what's this game of yours?" Gylfie asked, turning to the two remaining owls.

"Oh it's great fun! We have to destroy one part of the car to get it to stop." Kludd said.

"Well that's easy. All you have to do it rip open the fuel tank." Gylfie responded.

"Oh good, you knew what to do. Because for the life of me I didn't." Kludd said.

Gylfie covered her beak with her wings, realizing she'd just helped Kludd. Twilight, noticing her terror, spoke up. "If it makes you feel any better, I was going to tell him anyway."

"I thought you two hated each other." Gylfie pointed out.

"We do." The two chorused. Twilight cleared his throat and continued. "But we've got Soren and Han in the front who might stop us from trying this, we need all the help we can get."

Gylfie sighed. "Well, are we going or not?"

"Alright!" Kludd dashed over to the window and pressed down on the button to open it. He peered his head out, and his helmet almost came off his face. He popped his head back in.

"Forgot we're moving 65 miles per hour." Twilight laughed.

Kludd's feathers raised. "Fine." He growled. "You have a better idea?"

Twilight thought looked thoughtful. "Yes actually." He reached into the suit case and pulled out a rope.

"Remind me why I have to go down there?" Gylfie asked.

"Because I don't trust Kludd, and if he dropped me will you be able to pick me up?" Twilight answered.

Gylfie opened her mouth, and promptly closed it. "No." She sighed.

"Alrightie then. It's settled." Twilight decided.

"Bye-bye!" Kludd kicked Gylfie right out the window.

Gylfie let out a scream until Twilight caught her rope and she stopped falling. Twilight gave Kludd an evil look. Kludd just shrugged. Twilight considered killing him, but he'd just come back to life and he wouldn't be as good while holding the rope. So he just gave Gylfie a thumbs up with his talon.

Gylfie forced a smile and swung under the car. She listened for which pipe was gas and clawed it. Nothing happened. Gylfie frowned and tried again. And again. It never worked. She made a few frustrated noises before she figured out what to do.

Gylfie swung back out. "Twilight!" She called. Twilight looked down. "Does Han Solo have a light saber?!"

"In the movie? No. But there might be one in the car." Twilight replied. "Here hold this." He gave Kludd the rope and jumped in back. The two waited with mirrored impatient expressions. And somehow no one in front had noticed Gylfie hanging out the window yet.

"Haha!" Twilight shouted. It was followed by the sound of a light saber turning on. He jumped back onto the window. "I think it's Luke's." He explained, waving the light saber.

Kludd let out a little yelp and ducked out of the way as the light saber swung around.

"Oh that's right." Twilight said. "This makes it a lot easier to kill you." Twilight moved into a position impersonating a Jedi attack stance as best as he could with talons instead of hands.

"Guys!" Gylfie called up. "Still hanging!"

"Right, we'd hate to leave you hanging." Twilight tossed the light saber down.

Gylfie sighed as his intentional bad pun and went back under the car. She cut the gas pipe with the light saber. A few moments later, as Kludd and Twilight were pulling her back in, the car came to a stop. Han managed to get them to the side of the road. Shame they were in a forest in the middle of nowhere.
