/One Week Later/

/The group stood outside the New York state capitol, in Albany/

"You sure that you want to try this?" asked Chase

"One hundred percent" said Dylan

"Just try not to accept bribes" said Odd

"A Democrat and a Republican needs bribes, they'd starve otherwise" said Dylan

/The group chuckled as Dylan walked up the steps, and into the building/

==Two Hours Later==

/The group continued to sit outside, waiting for Dylan/

"What's taking him so long?" asked Odd

"Things like this always takes time" said Chase

"But, it's been over two hours, and..." said Odd

/Odd stopped mid-sentence when he saw Dylan walking towards the group/

"Well?" asked Jeremie

"Well. I'm officially running for congress!" said Dylan

/The group gave a small cheer, as Rebecca ran up and nearly tackled Dylan in a hug/

"I'm so proud of you!" said Rebecca

"Uh... Rebecca? C- Can you let go before I suffocate?" asked Dylan

"Oh, right. Sorry" said Rebecca

/Rebecca let go of Dylan, then he took a big gasp of air/

"So... What now?" asked Ulrich

/Dylan looked thoughtful/

"I want to go and get drunk" said Dylan, bluntly

"Sounds like a plan!" said Chase

"I'm coming too" said Aelita

/The group looked at Aelita with surprise/

"Wait... You drink?" asked Chase

"Whiskey" said Aelita

/Chase went wide eyed/

"Huh, okay then" said Chase

"I've gotta take Sissi to the hospital, anyway" said Odd

/The group looked at Sissi/

"I wanted to try and get in the medical career" said Sissi

"Really? I thought you liked doing tax returns?" asked Ulrich

/Sissi glared at Ulrich, until they both started laughing/

"Okay. I think we should head out" said Dylan

"Can I come?" asked James

"Not until you're 21" said Jennifer

/Chase, Dylan, and Aelita walked to Dylan's mustang. They got inside and closed the doors/

"See you guys later" said Dylan

/The group waived as Dylan drove away/

"So... Any good bars around here?" asked Aelita

"I know one. But it's been a while since we've been there" said Dylan

"Wait... Are you talking about Ray's?" asked Chase

"Yep" said Dylan

"Oh my god! We haven't been there since we took that trip to Ottawa!" said Aelita

"I wonder if it's still open?" asked Chase

"Who knows. How long has it been since we were there? Ten years?" asked Dylan

"Yep... Time flies" said Aelita

/Chase and Dylan nodded in agreement/

"So. Who's going to be the designated driver?" asked Dylan

"I'll do it. I can't get drunk anyway, or else Jennifer will probably murder me" joked Chase

"I can't even remember the last time I took a trip with just my brother, and my step sister" said Dylan

"I do. But back then we had a bunch of people shooting at us, and we blew up the USS Pueblo..." said Aelita

/Dylan chuckled/

"How long until we get there?" asked Chase

"In this car? About four hours" said Dylan

"Great..." said Aelita, flatly

"We might as well catch up on some sleep" said Chase

"Good idea. Dylan, do you mind driving?" asked Aelita

"I'm okay. You guys sleep, and I'll wake you when we get there" said Dylan

/Aelita and Chase shut their eyes, and leaned on each other for support, and after about ten minutes, they started snoring loudly/

"Great..." said Dylan, flatly

==With Odd and Sissi==

/Sissi and Michael watched with interest as Odd showed her the Operating Room/

"Wow. How many surgeries do you do here?" asked Sissi

"Around two, every few months" said Odd

"What was the worst?" asked Sissi

/Odd looked thoughtful/

"This high school kid got his dad's flare gun, and was playing with one of his friends. The friend accidently shot the thing, and the flare hit him in the eye/

/Sissi went wide eyed/

"Did he make it?" asked Sissi

"Surprisingly, he did. But he lost an eye and had a chunk of his face taken off" said Odd

"Ouch..." said Sissi

"I know! It was horrible, I mean, the flare was still burning in his eye when we took it out. And one of the surgeons threw up when it was over..." said Odd

"Ew..." said Michael

"But the kid did end up surviving. And I honestly was a little proud of myself" said Odd

"Have there been any accidents?" asked Sissi

"Just one. About three years ago, one of the surgeons accidently left a tool inside a person" said Odd

"Did they get it out?" asked Michael

"Eventually. But the guy did have a good sense of humor about it, I'll give him that" said Odd

/Odd led Michael and Sissi out of the OR, and then to another part of the hospital/

==With The Group==

/The group, (Finally), was driving on the Brooklyn Bridge/

"Finally! That drive took forever!" said Wendy

"I know. I just want to go home" said James

"And I just want to see how Riley's doing" said Kylie

"I made sure to leave him with enough food and water. Don't worry" said Jeremie

/Yumi looked at Rebecca/

"So. How does it feel knowing that your husband could be elected to the United States Senate?" asked Yumi

"It feels good. I still can't believe he's going to run in the election" said Rebecca

"It could be worse, he could try for President!" said Ulrich

/Rebecca had a puzzled look on her face/

==With Dylan==

/Dylan, Chase, and Aelita were leaving the bar. Chase groaned with annoyance as he saw Dylan and Aelita stumbling towards the car/

"Lightweights..." muttered Chase

/Dylan stumbled to the passenger seat as Aelita sat in the back/

"Oh my god! I- I'm so wasted!" said Dylan

"I know! Same here..." said Aelita

/Chase started driving/

"OH MY GOD!" said Dylan

"What!?" asked Aelita

"Your hair! It's- It's so pink! I LOVE IT!" said Dylan

"Really? T- *Hiccup* Thank you!" said Aelita

/Chase groaned with annoyance/

"A- *Burp* And your hair is SO shiny!" said Dylan

"I- It is? I- I don't remember it being shi- shiny" said Aelita

"J- Jeremie r- really likes the h- hair. He t- told me" said Dylan

"He likes i- it? That- That's good to know!" said Aelita

/Dylan looked at Chase/

"S- So how's it g- *Hiccup* going with J- Jennifer?" asked Dylan

/Chase sighed with annoyance/

"It's going good" said Chase

"I be- bet that you and h- *Burp* her play 'Hi- Hide the crois- croissant in the shower!'" said Aelita

/Dylan burst out laughing/

"I have an idea. How about you and Dylan be quiet?" asked Chase

"B- But I like tal *Hiccup* talking!" said Aelita

/Dylan laughed, then covered his mouth/

"Ugh... Stop! Now! I'm gonna hurl!" said Dylan

/Chase pulled over, and Dylan exited the car. Chase and Aelita groaned with disgust as Dylan lost his lunch/

"E- Ew" said Aelita

"Yep. Ew..." said Chase

/Dylan got back into the car/

"L- Let's go- *Hiccup* home" said Dylan

/Chase sighed as he kept driving/
