Me: Yay! It's road trip time!

Erik: Quit giving away spoilers.

Me: It says 'road trip' in the chapter title.

Erik: Oh right.

Me: Anyway, I wrote half this chapter in the car. I don't know why I thought you should know that.

Erik: Just enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: I wish I owned 'Phantom of the Opera', but I don't. Sadly.


*It's six in the morning and for once, Erik is still asleep while I'm awake.*

Me: Oh, this is going to be fun. *Holds up two frying pans. I will give you three guesses as to what I did with them:

Made a delicious breakfast.

Juggled them.

Clanged them together and woke Erik up.*

Erik: YARG! *If you guessed door number three, you win a virtual cookie!*

Me: That was entertaining.

Erik: What are you doing up anyway?

Me: We have to leave early if we want to get on the road by seven.

Erik: Oh right. We're going to Wisconsin today.

Me: Oh, cheer up. *Hands him the frying pans.* You can go wake up Christine and the fop.

Erik: Fine. *Takes frying pans and runs upstairs. Distant clang is heard.*

Raoul: AUGH! *Thump.*

Me: *Walks upstairs.* Did he fall out of bed?

Erik: Right into the buckets of winter clothes.

Me: Ouch. Go get ready, we have to be on the road soon if we want to get to Wisconsin before midnight.

Christine: How long does it take to get to Wisconsin?

Me: Fourteen hours.

Raoul: We have to spend the day in the car?

Me: Pretty much.

Erik: At least the phangirls won't be there.

Me: You haven't even met them!

Erik: I am a judgemental person

Christine: Speaking of phangirls, when are we going to the Dells?

Me: The seventeenth. The phans have until then to sign up to come.

Erik: What happens if we don't get through all the locations by the time summer ends?

Me: I don't know. I might just have some during the school year.

Erik: NOOOOOO!

Me: You have issues. Go get ready, we're leaving in an hour.

Christine: I want to shower-

Me: ME SHOWER FIRST!

Erik: Remember you're grammar Megan.

Me: No.

*Somehow, we manage to get showered, dressed, and load up the van and are on the road by seven. I know, it's a miracle.*

Erik: Megan, you're dog is still in the van.

Me: I know. He's coming with us!

Raoul: WE'RE BRINGING THE CARNIVEROUS POODLE?

Me: For the last time Raoul, he's not going to eat you.

Raoul: How do you know?

Me: *Sigh.* You guys make me feel old. I think I'm getting grey hairs.

Christine: *Sleeping.* ZZZHNK

Me: She snores?

Raoul: Yup. It's awful.

Erik: Ha!

Me: I'm going to listen to some music. *Puts iPod in.*

Erik: Megan? Meeeeeegaaaaaan? Megan Megan Megan Megan.

Me: *Takes earphones out.* What is it Erik?

Erik: What are you wearing?

Me: It's a snuggie. It's a blanket with sleeves.

Erik: Oh. Can I have one?

Me: No. And I thought you were trying to avoid that rut?

Erik: Damn.

Me: Now leave me alone. *Puts earphones back in.*

Erik: Megan? Megan? Megan Megan? Meeeeegaaaaan! Megan!

Me: What now?

Erik: What is that on your head?

Me: It's the fedora I wore on Canada day, remember?

Erik: Oh, right.

Me: Can you leave me alone now?

Erik: Okay.

Me: Good. *Puts in earphones.*

Raoul: Megan?

Me: *Rips out earphones.* WHAT?

Raoul: I have to go to the bathroom.

Me: Well you should have gone before we left.

Raoul: But-

Me: Just hold it until we reach the boarder.

Erik: How are we going to get across the boarder if we don't have passports?

Me: I got you guys some passports.

Erik: Let me guess; the authoresses' chest of plot hole fillers?

Me: Exactly. Now you two, take a nap or something until we reach the boarder.

Erik: Fine.

*When we reach the boarder, Erik is asleep on Raoul's shoulder and Raoul has Chevy on his lap.

Me: Guys, wake up. we're at the boarder.

Erik: Fi-AUGH! GET THE FOP OFF ME!

Raoul: GET THE CARNIVEROUS POODLE OFF ME!

Me: CAN'T YOU THINK OF A BETTER NAME FOR HIM?

Raoul: NO!

Christine: *Wakes up.* WAAAG! FLYING CHEESE IS OUT TO GET ME!

Jenna: WHY ARE YOU ALL SHOUTING?

Me: BECAUSE!

Boarder guy: Is everything alright in there?

Me: Just….peachy.

Boarder guy: Okay then. I'll just need to see your passports, check your luggage, etc.

My mom: Okay.

Boarder guy: Wow, that is a lot of salt and vinegar chips.

Me: Yeah. My cousins love them, but they don't sell that brand in the U.S.

Christine: Sucks for them.

Me: They don't sell a lot of stuff in the U.S.

Erik: Like…

Me: Shreddies, goodie rings, smarties. The list goes on and on.

Raoul: I still need to go to the bathroom.

Me: Go ahead.

Raoul: Thanks! *Runs out.*

Erik: Can we leave without him?

Me: Unfortunately, no.

Erik: Darn it.

Raoul: I'm back!

Erik: Sadly.

Me: We're on the road again people!

*This is a fourteen hour trip. We spent two hours diving to the boarder, and spent the rest of it driving down highways, through towns, stopping at various A&W's (A&W has the most awesome burgers!) and a lot of sleeping. It was not an exciting trip. It never is and even having the POTO crew didn't change that. Christine spent most of the trip sleeping, (and snoring like a water buffalo.) Erik spent most of it asking stupid questions, and Raoul spent half his time asking me if we were there yet and the other half saying he had to go to the bathroom. In short, it was hell. Never, and I mean, NEVER, go on a road trip with Erik, Christine and Raoul. One of you may not survive, and my money's on Raoul not making it out of there.*

Raoul: Are we there yet?

Me: No.

Raoul: Are we there now?

Me: No.

Raoul: Are we there-

Me: YES! OH THANK GOD WE'RE THERE!

Erik: I think you've driven her crazy.

Raoul: Oops.

*Suddenly a thumping is heard from the back of the car.*

Me and Jenna: SCREEEEETCH

Christine: Who is that?

Me: Oh my God! Ian's climbing the van! *Jumps out and sees a tall boy with brown hair, a shorter guy with brown hair and a squeaky voice, a short blond girl, and a small boy with brown hair, crutches and a cast on his leg.* Brady! Ian! Emma! Chriso! *Hugs all around.*

Erik: I'm guessing these are your cousins.

Me: HELL YES!

Brady: Who are your friends?

Me: Oh right, meet the 'Phantom of the Opera' crew.

POTO crew: *Strikes a pose*

Brady: Wow. *To Christine.* You're hot.

Me: Brady! *Smacks.* She's married!

Brady: I don't care.

Me: Sorry about him. Typical boy.

Ian: What is up with your hair?

Raoul: Nothing.

Me: Believe it or not, it's his real hair.

Ian: *Killing himself laughing.*

Me: We brought you guy's salt and vinegar-

Brady: CHIIIIIPS! OH MY GOD SALT AND VINEGAR CHIPS!

Ian: CHPPIES! CHIPS CHIPS CHIPS CHIPS CHIIIIIIIPS!

Brady: *Grabs box.* YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Runs away with the box.*

Ian: *Runs after him.* WHEEEEEEE!

Me: …

Christine: Wow. That was…

Erik: Disturbing.

Christine: Exactly.

Me: Let's just let them have their chip freakout. We're in Wisconsin!


Me: It's true. I'm writing this while watching Brady play 'Assassins Creed' in Wisconsin

Erik: Are all video games this violent?

Me: Pretty much. And don't forget, if you want to come to the Wisconsin Dells, send in your description and one place you want to go in the dells by the sixteenth of July.

Christine: And remember to vote for our next phangirl location on Megan's profile. Wisconsin Dells is no longer a location, but we still have a pool party, the Mall of America, Moose Jaw, and the moon.

Me: And review! Just for the heck of it. By the way, I won't be updating as often, since I'm in Wisconsin, but I will still updating as much as I can. Can't wait to see you again!
