Henry had personally thought he doc had gone bonkers when she announced they were going on a road trip. Stuck in a car with Ashley for who-knows how many hours? No thanks. But, being the good little boy he was, he packed up his stuff and got into the car. Thankfully MAgnus was taking the brunt of Ashley's craziness, but he did get several animal crackers thrown at him. Those buggers hurt. Now he knew the doc had cracked, because they went to Mcdonald's for Dinner. She hadn't ever seen Ashley order, had she? He had to stifle giggles. He ordered his number four, no ketchup please, and quietly sat down while Ashley made a log-cabin out of her french fries. How the heck do you get mustard on your forehead?
The hotel was decent, Doc was exhausted, she fell asleep almost immediately. Leaving him in charge of Ashley by default. Oh joy.
" Hand over the cookies and nobody gets hurt!"
Henry looked dumbfounded at Ashley who had somehow nicked her mother's gun, and was pointing it at him.
" Ashley, you know violence isn't the answer. Put the gun down and I'll give you three cookies, okay? That's three more then your mom would want. You know it's not nice to shoot people."
" Mummy does it!"
" Your Mom shoots erm...... bad people! Now put down the gun....."
" You're a bad person if you don't give me the cookies!"
Henry thought fast, what was the possibility Ashley would be able to shoot him in the head? Deal with a bullet to the leg, or Ashley on a sugar high? Here goes nothing!
He threw a cookie over on her bed. As expected, she dropped the gun and lunged for the cookie. He grabbed the gun and sighed. Empty. Of course. Doc wouldn't be that stupid.
" You don't get anymore cookies because you threatened to shoot Henry."
" I'm sorry Henry. I love you."
" I love you to Ash, but you could have killed me."
The six year old had apparently not realized the dire consequence of her actions. She ran over and began to alternately sob, hug him, and choke out an apology.
" I forgive you Ash. Just don't do it again, okay?"
" Okay. Good night Henry."
" Good night."
Good night? Already? She must be planning something. No... she just passed out on a sugar crash.
Doc had been tired, because she had slept through the whole cookie situation. Who knew what doom and destruction Ginger Snaps could bring?
They headed to Denny's for breakfast. What the... did she just bite the giant talking waffle dude? I don't know them, don't know them... ooh they have Pancakes!
He tiredly ate his pancakes while Ashley related the story of the one time they had seen somebody get tasered on TV. She had talked non-stop about it for a full hour, even seeking out her mother's taser to try and tase Henry. He had barely escaped. He sighed as he downed his orange juice. This was going to be a long trip.
A/N Okay, I may not be post for a while, cuz I'm going to my friend's house and I might get snowed in. If I get snowed in, expect another chapter around maybe next Tuesday or Wednesday? Unless I can write one at her house. I dunno.
Ha ha. Next Tuesday. Ha ha!
