Laughing so damn hard crashed your dad's car all the trouble we got into we got something you can't undo

Oliver

"Oh, wow, you boys are so screwed!"

Both he and Tommy turned startled towards the voice, to find no other than fifteen-year-old Sara Lance standing right behind them, studying the damage the two of them had caused.

"What are you doing here, Tweety?" Oliver looked at the small blonde expectantly. They could have no one see them. This was bad.

"It's Thursday… I just had my riding lesson…" she rolled her clear blue eyes slightly annoyed and looked at them as if they were stupid, which Ollie had to admit, was justified right now, she was wearing her Jodhpurs, Paddock boots and holding her riding gloves in one hand, her face was flushed, and her hair pulled back into a ponytail. So, it was pretty obvious what she had been doing.

"But seriously, wow, I mean… wow… you guys really fucked up this time. Mr. Merlyn is going to kill you!" Sara switched back to their original topic of discussion, her voice being a mixture of amusement, awe and pity.

"Maybe he won't notice?" Tommy tried, looking and sounding as unconvincingly as his suggestion was. There was no way that his dad wouldn't notice the damage that they had done. Sara was right, they were fucked.

"What? You don't seriously believe that your dad won't notice the huge dent and ruined paint job, his very expensive, classic car, that he loves and told you boys frequently to keep your hands off, is now spotting thanks to you two idiots? Yeah, right. Keep dreaming, Tommy." Sara rolled her expressive eyes again, but this time in exasperation and disbelieve.

"We could leave it at some remote location, so he'll think it was stolen and abandoned." Ollie thought his plan was pretty solid and was proud he came up with it on such short notice but Sara just looked at him as if he were stupid… again.

"So… the carjacker was smart enough to break into the Merlyn Estate, get into the locked Garage, drove Mr. Merlyn's very expensive favorite car out of the garage and the Estate without being seen and then he dents and scratches it and just abandon's it. A car that's worth a couple of hundred grands because of a dent and some missing paint job?! No one's going to buy that, boys. You'd be better off driving it off of a cliff into the ocean, hoping no one will find it. Then maybe, and only maybe, someone might buy the stolen car angle. Except, doesn't your dad have surveillance cameras, Tommy?" She turned towards Tommy, looking at him expectantly. He and Tommy looked at each other, their eyes widening in horrified realization.

Sara was right, they were fucked.

How could they've forgotten about the stupid cameras Tommy's dad had installed after the last time they had taken the car for a joyride? Damn!

What were the chances that they would get away scotch free again? Like they did the last three times, well mostly, after they got severely yelled at by Malcolm for a very long time. Fuck!

"Jesus, how did you guys manage that? Where the hell did you drive into?" Sara was meticulously inspecting the damage to the car now.

"Look it doesn't matter, Tweety. We just need to get it fixed before Malcolm finds out. And everything will be cool." Oliver really didn't feel like sharing the exact events that had led to the car's current state with Sara, she would never ever, ever let them live it down, not after all the jokes they've been making for months about her and driving and even less now after they've been making fun of her first attempt at driving for the past couple of weeks.

"Sara's right, Ollie, dad's going to kill us. There's no way we get the car fixed before he notices that it's gone and checks the cameras. We're done for!" Tommy was close to panicking now, not that it was surprising or uncalled for. Malcolm had been extremely mad the last time they had hot-wired his car and taken it for a joyride. There had been some threats about serious consequences should they ever do it again. Which they now had. Only they didn't just hot-wire the car, they actually nearly totaled it, sort of. Which was only partly their fault. But Oliver was sure Malcolm wouldn't care about that. Wouldn't care about the story and what had happened and why it wasn't their fault. They took the car, not only without his permission but despite his prohibition. They were fucked. Tommy would get in enormous trouble.

Oliver turned back to face Sara again. Given the way she was looking at him, he knew that she had come to the same conclusion as him. Fuck!

How could they get Tommy out of this? It would be easy to tell him to leave and let him and maybe Sara take the blame for it, if only the stupid cameras hadn't been there.

"What if we erase the recording?" Sara's words took him by complete surprise.

"What?"

"The recordings from the cameras, what if we erase or delete them before Mr. Merlyn can see them? That way we can tell him you and I did it and Tommy's not gonna get in trouble." God, he could kiss her! That was fucking genius!

"That is genius, Birdy. Tommy, where does your dad keep them?" He pulled Sara into a quick hug before turning towards his best friend.

"In the office of the security guard. They always pull it from whatever and put the recordings in the safe at the end of the week. But he's not just going to let you mess with the computer, Ollie." Tommy explained.

"So, I'll distract him while Ollie deletes the file. No, big." The only female in their round was quick to ensure their friend.

All they needed to do now was give Tommy an alibi and get Sara and him to Tommy's house, piece of cake, right?

Sara

They were dead, they were so dead. Tommy's dad was going to kill them for sure. There was no way that they could get passed the gate, and the garage, into the house to the head security's office. Except if Tommy was right and Mr. Merlyn was still at the office. Then maybe… but Tommy's dad was known for only hiring the best of the best when it came to security, ever since Tommy's mom had been killed, at least according to her parents. It was one thing for Ollie and Tommy to walk around the grounds undetected, or at least their actions going undetected. It was something else entirely for Ollie and her to be here without Tommy. People would notice, for sure. Maybe this wasn't her best idea, maybe this was a very stupid idea. But it was the only way to make sure that Tommy wasn't going to get into some serious trouble. Mr. Merlyn could get really scary when he got mad. She didn't want to think about what punishment Tommy would get if he got caught. So there really was no choice, she and Ollie needed to get that recording erased.

"C'mon, Tweety, this way, stay low." Ollie grabbed her hand and tugged her in the direction he wanted them to go, crutching low and trying to keep her slight frame hidden behind his massive shape. Sara desperately tried to ignore the tingling feeling in her hand and the butterflies in her stomach that had been caused by Ollie taking her hand.

No, this had nothing to do with Ollie, she was just nervous and anxious because they could very easily get caught. Which would be fine, if they got caught after they erased the evidence of Ollie and Tommy's crime but really bad if they did before they had managed to do what they came here for.

Ollie dragged her to the side entrance and they slipped inside, hopefully undetected. They made sure that no one was inside or close by and quietly ran down the corridor towards the door Tommy had told them about.

"Okay, Tweety, here we go. Show time. Do your thing." He squeezed her hand encouragingly and gave her a slight push.

Here goes nothing. She really hoped that this was going to work and she could distract the security guard long enough for Ollie to destroy the evidence.

It had worked! Sara still couldn't believe that it had actually worked. They had distracted the guard, Ollie had destroyed the recordings and they were now safely outside and away from the Merlyn estate.

She took a deep breath and started to laugh in disbelieve. It had worked! They had gotten away with it! She couldn't believe the rush she had and was still feeling. That was a high better than any rollercoaster she had ever been on! Damn! That had been… wow! She spun around and turned towards her partner in crime, still laughing.

Ollie looked about as relieved as she felt, he was grinning from ear to ear and his face was flushed, yet his eyes were sparkling with excitement, was it possible he was feeling the same way she did?

"You were fucking brilliant, Pretty Bird! I could just kiss you!"

Sara's mind was still occupied with Ollie calling her Pretty Bird instead of the usual Tweety Bird and the insinuation that he thought she was pretty when Oliver bent down and just planted a quick kiss on her lips, which led to her eyes growing big, but she had no time to process any of this because he was already pulling her into his arms and spinning them around for a moment before he put her back down on her feet. Grinning at her excitedly.

"C'mon, I'll take you to Patty Shack's, you've earned it!" He took hold of her hand again and tugged her along again until they reached his car, where he let go of her hand to get inside.

They ended up being fucked after all.

Tommy's dad had of course figured out what had happened and told both Ollie's and her parents. So they were all grounded, for the whole summer!

Ollie for like the first time ever.

The poor guy didn't understand the world anymore. His actions never had any kind of severe consequences. Going from never getting punished to being grounded for a whole summer was way harsh, if you'd ask her. Poor Ollie!

This was insane!

Even though her parents showed some leniency and told her that they were still going to go on their road trip. But her dad had also told her that he and her mom would think about how much leniency and freedom she was going to get during their trip. Which sucked, but she was sure she could pout or plead her way out of any possible punishment her dad wanted to bestow upon her during their road trip.

Notes:

Just to put one thing straight, Ollie's actions weren't in any shape or form romantically meant at all. It was just the adrenaline and Ollie being Ollie, a loveable idiot who doesn't know what he's doing most of the time. It was a friendly gesture and just an innocent peck that he pretty much forgot about 5 minutes later.

Sara is not yet aware of the crush she's developping towards one of her best friends.

Let me know what you think.
