Taryn grabbed some clothing, enough for the two week vacation. She also grabbed her Dokken lip gloss, hair brush, tooth brush, Don Dokken blanket, and her Dokken beach towel.
She grabbed her iPod and cell phone. She looked around for things that would keep her occupied in the car. She grabbed her old issue of Hit Parader that covered Don Dokken's life (up until 1987...) And she grabbed the issue that covered George Lynch's life. That would be enough to entertain her. She could only hope...She felt her neck, yes, she was wearing her necklace.
She locked up the house and hopped in the back seat of Freddy's car.
"Where are we goin'?" Taryn asked, taking off her Beast From The East hoodie and pulled out her Don Dokken blanket from out of a beach bag, and wrapped it around her.
"Hollywood. Sunset Strip." Kira replied.
"REALLY?" Taryn shouted in joy... that's were Dokken started out... ohhh... ahhh...
"I remember someone who wanted to go there." Kira said, smiling at Taryn.
"I think Don might have a house there." Taryn said.
"Well you can go search for Don Dokken, Freddy and I have big plans, and I know you wouldn't want to take part in it. You know what I'm sayin." Kira said, hinting to Taryn that her and Freddy were going to "spend time" together.
Taryn knew what she was going to do. Find the rocker who wished she was alive. Silly rock star! Taryn's 'Back For The Attack'!!!!! Taryn thought. She giggled to her self.
"You still giggle when some one talks about sex?" Freddy said, thinking that Taryn giggled at the thought of him and Kira.
"NO! EWW! I was giggling because I thought of something." Tarn said.
"Yeah, I bet she's thinking about Don." Freddy said, pulling into a gas station to fill up the tank for the trip.
"She's 15! Let her have her fantasy!" Kira yelled in Taryn's defence. "Oh and get us uh some drinks. Gimme a Pepsi. What about you Taryn?" Kira asked.
"A Rockstar Juiced, please?" Taryn asked. Freddy nodded his head, then he went in to pay and get the drinks.
Before Freddy was even two feet away from the car, he heard Dokken's Hell To Pay CD blaring.
Great, she let Taryn pick the music. Fuck it. At least she listens to real music. Not that hip hop bull shit the other kids her age listen to. Yeah Dokken may not be my cup of tea, but it's closer to The Ramones that Britney Spears is. Freddy thought as he entered the car and handed Kira and Taryn there drinks.
"Thanks Freddy." Kira and Taryn both said.
They pulled onto the hi-way, and made there way to sunny California.
"MOVE FASTER GRANDPA!" Freddy yelled, as he was stuck behind a slow moving Ford Pick Up Truck when they were in Nevada.
Kira was hungry, Freddy was annoyed, and Taryn was to busy listening to her iPod and looking at pictures of Don Dokken to give a damn about anything.
"Can't we just go through that McDonald's drive thru?" Kira said, pointing to a McDonald's that was coming up. Freddy pulled in to the Drive through lane.
"Welcome to McDonald's can I take your order? Would you like two Fillet O' Fishes for $3.33?" The lady at the drive thru asked Freddy.
"I DON'T WANT ANY DAMN FILLET O' FISHES! I want A Big Mac with a coke. A Chicken Selects meal with a coke, and a southern chicken sandwich with a coke." Freddy said, ordering his fave, the Bic Mac, The Chicken Selects for Kira and the Southern Style Chicken sandwich for Taryn.
"That will be $13.50, please pull up to the next window." The voice said.
So Freddy pulled up to the next window, paied and got his food. He handed Taryn her chicken, coke and fries. He gave Kira her food, and he ate his food while driving.
They were almost to Hollywood!
"Where are we stayin anyway?" Taryn asked, waving a french fry in the air.
"Sunset Motel. It's right off the strip." Kira said.
"Awesome." Taryn said.
Taryn was looking forward to this. She pulled her blanket up close to her and just st and thinked for a minute.
Don... Ahhh Don Dokken....
"We need to get her to the strip as soon as possible." Freddy said, taking a bite out of his Big Mac.
"Look, like I said, she's 15, she belives that Don Dokken is her Romeo. Let her think that!" Kira said.
They finally got to the motel, and were amazed. There was a little section with another bed past the bathrooom that had a little mesh door thingie. And the one bed in the middle of the room. Taryn could sleep away from Freddy and Kira, great because Taryn would not want to see Freddy and Kira "sleep".
Once Taryn set all her things down, she told Kira and Freddy, "I'm going to the Strip." And she walked out of the room.
