Here is the longest one yet, hope you like it. I'm debating if I should do another story or not. That one would be continuous and not separate one shots. Comment or PM me what you think.


9. Drive

Being lost in the middle of nowhere isn't as bad as movies make it out to be. As long as you aren't stuck with someone you hate it can actually be kind of fun. I have no clue how Toby got us lost when all we were supposed to do was take the highway and continue on it for hours.

So the second we had no clue where our last minute road trip took us we decided to stay in the little town we found a few miles back for the night. It was a cute little town with a convenience store, gas station, coffee shop and a bank. The only place open at this late hour was the convenience store. Happy decided to go in, grab a few snacks and ask for directions because Toby wasn't willing to be the one to ask for directions.

Looking through the aisles Happy grabbed snacks and drinks. When she went up to the counter she said a quick hey to the woman on the other side of the counter. The woman directed her on the best way to go to get back to the highway. For fun Happy looked at the show of scratch cards and bought two.

Going back to the car she saw Toby staring out the window up at the stars. She got into the passenger seat since Toby wouldn't let her drive because quote "I want to live through this road trip"

"So the lady at the counter said to take this road north for five miles and then turn on to Wilson road which will bring us back to the highway.

"Sweet." Toby said grabbing the bag of snacks from her. He took out one of the gatorades, opened it up and took a drink. "What are the scratch cards for?"

"For a fun gamble. I thought you would like it."

"Scratch card have preset odds that make it unlikely to win anything. Also I can win gambles by reading people. I can't read a scratch card."

Happy smirked and then joked, "Fine. I'll use yours then."

"I didn't say I didn't want one." Toby said grabbing one of the cards out of her hand. "Do you have a quarter?" Happy handed him a coin.

"On the count of three." Happy told Toby. "One… two… three." They both scratched off the silvery layer. Toby looked over Happy's shoulder at her card. "Look. I won Toby." She put the card in front of his face. "So much for bad odds."

"I let you win." Toby joked. "I took the losing card so that you could win."

"BS! You totally said you can't read them. I'm going to go get the money. I'll be right back." She quickly went back to the counter turned in the card and went back to the car. "So onward with the trip."

Toby started the car up and followed the lady's directions back to the highway and within 20 mins they were cruising along. Happy actually didn't mind not driving. She got to look out the window and mess with Toby. Happy enjoyed these small moments where it was just the two of them with no cases or worries. About an hour after leaving the small town she decided to take his hat and wear it. Toby just smiled and let her wear it.

Once it started to get dark they decided to stop at the next hotel. A few exits later Toby spotted a hotel sign and pulled off.

"Can you get us checked in? I'll grab the bags." Toby told Happy unbuckling and making his way to the back of the car.

It was a nice hotel. With a grand walk in with a raised sealing. Fancy furniture was to the right for waiting and the front desk to the left. Looking towards the back she could see the elevators and restaurant where breakfast would be served. Over all Happy got a very expensive feel to the whole place. She didn't know if they should be staying at a place this fancy. Toby walked in with two bags over his shoulders. Looking around for Happy.

Happy walked over to him. "Are you sure we should stay here?" Happy asked.

"Hey, we can afford it and what's more fun then acting rich even if its just for one night." Toby reassured her.

They both walked up to the front desk. The woman behind the counter looked up from her computer and at the two geniuses. "Hi," She said, "Welcome to the Bluehill Hotel. My name is Kaia, can I get the two of you a room?"

Toby did all the talking getting the two of them a room on the second floor with the deluxe package that included access to the pool and included breakfast at their restaurant. As they were about to head up for their room Kaia said, "I love your hat by the way."

Happy smiled and turned back to Kaia. "Thanks." She replied then caught up with Toby at the elevator.

"You know that was my complement." Toby said as the elevator started going up.

"Too bad you weren't wearing the hat then." Happy shot back playfully.

They entered room 216 to see an amazing room. The queen bed was in the center of a wide room with kitchen on one side and a table with chairs on the other. Out the window you could see the mountains in the distance and a mile away the moving cars on the highway going who knows where. The kitchen had enough stuff to be able to live normally from. The full fridge and stove with oven was more than Happy ever thought would be in the hotel room.

They put their bags on the chairs and sat down on the bed.

"So the pool closes in an hour and a half. We could go for a quick swim if you wanted to."

"Sure." Happy said. They both changed into swimwear. Happy kept Toby's hat on.

Toby laughed at the sight of his hat still on Happy's head but didn't say anything. Although once they got to the pool he decided to speak up. "Am I ever getting my hat back?"

"I don't know." Happy said. "It's quite nice. You might not get it back."

"Come on. I thought you bought that for me for Christmas. If you wanted one of your own you should have bought two."

"How about I get to drive tomorrow and you can have it back." Happy reasoned.

"I thought this was supposed to be a relaxing road trip. I don't have a death wish."

"Fine. I guess I will finish this relaxing vacation in a great hat."

Toby let out a breath. "Fine. You can drive. If I'm going to die, I might as well die in style."

"Good." Happy said. She took the hat off of her head and threw it at Toby right before jumping into the pool. "Well are you coming in or not?"

"Yeah. You know, we should do more vacations just the two of us. That is if I survive tomorrow." Toby said putting his hat on one of the pool chairs and jumping in with her.
