"Mmmm, man this is the best chocolate!"
We had stopped at a rest spot and were all sitting around a table eating
lunch. Clu jumped up.
"Well i'm finished. Anyone up for a game of footy?"
I laughed. Of course, typical Clu had wolfed down his food at the speed of
light.
"Well i'll play Clu but, although you can eat real fast, we still haven't
finished!"
We laughed. Clu pretend pouted.
"Aww you're just jealous of my eating abilities, and on the subject, i've
noticed that you're also jealous of my kind heart, my good looks and my
charm and. . ."
"Oh really!"
I jumped up. Clu realised, purely through experience, what I was about to
do and started to run away. I quickly chased after him, both of us
laughing. I soon caught up to him and grabbed him, tackling him with him
tickling me in an effort to get away. Soon enough we were both on the
ground laughing hysterically and breathing heavily. After a few minutes,
Clu hopped up and stood over me, smiling.
"Still up for that game of footy?"
I just laughed.
"Yeah, if you help me up!" I stretched out my arms and he grabbed them and
pulled me up.
"Thanks."
We walked back to the table to recruit more players.
"Yo, Jack man, you gonna play?"
We managed to recruit Jack, Carey, Clu and Jack's friend Alan and Heidi.
Annie, Pippa and Megan (Carey's friend) decided to just watch.
An hour later we decided to hit the road again. This time we swapped seats a little. Carey, Megan, Annie and Pippa went in one car and Jack, Clu, Alan, Heidi and I went in the other. It may sound strange but I thought that was a perfect arrangement. As much as I really liked everyone, i thought that all in each car went together perfectly. And I was sitting next to Alan. Ok, I liked Alan alot. He was so cool, he was funny and nice and was always up for a talk or a good laugh. The other thing was that he totally believed all the paranormal stuff I told him.
Finally we reached our overnight stop, a sweet little caravan park. We payed for two cabins. Once we were settled in, we didn't go to bed. Ptsh what were you thinking? We had to have a giggly girl chat! We all settled down in some soft chairs in our PJ's. "I can't believe this is actually happening. When Clu suggested it I thought it was just a fantasy and now it's actually happening. We are gonna have the best time ever!" Annie spoke as she bobbed up and down in her seat. Before long, the conversation of course turned to boys and predictions. There was something I really wanted to ask that had been bugging me for a while. "Megan, um what exactly is the deal with you and Carey? I know you guys are really good friends but um, do you ever like him just a little bit more?" Megan laughed. "Well Carey is definantly a very sweet guy but um, we've always just been great friends. No, i've never actually thought of him as a boyfriend and it's not that I don't like him that much it's more that I just like our friendship." I smiled at her. Megan was such a good person. Actually her and Carey were perfectly matched. They were like boy and girl versions of each other. So you know what Carey's like, now imagine a girl version of him. . . .got it? Well that's what Megan's like. "That's cool." She turned to me. "What about you Fi? Got any crushes?" I laughed. Everyone turned to look at me, I could feel myself blushing. Should I tell them? I heard Annie's voice. "Oh my gosh Fi, you gotta tell us!" She giggled. The silence, apart from Annie's giggles, was getting too much. Well, here goes. I'm never gonna hear the end of this! "Well. . . . I really like Alan." There was a silence, and then. . . "Oh my gosh! That's so cool. I wouldn't of expected that!" Annie was back to bobbing. In the mean time, I was as red as a tomato! So the talking carried on long into the night. Well actually probably only another hour. Then we heard a knock on the window. Pippa and Megan screamed. Then there was a splat and alot of evil laughter. I knew exactly what was going on. I brought everyone into a huddle. "Hey, we all know what that was right?" There was a whisper of agreement. "So we have to get supplies! Go out there and get 'em!" Heidi pitched in. "Girls, this is war!" We all laughed and then Heidi ran into her room. She came out a minute later grinning evily. In her hand she held a packet of water bombs. We all laughed again and headed to the sink to fill them up. Let the fun times begin!
Our little battle went on for quite a while with everyone running around blindly, throwing water bombs at whoever they saw, until eventually the manager came out and told us to scram because we were too noisy. We went back to our cabins and dried off. We all lay our PJ's out to dry and found some other clothes or PJ's to sleep in. By now we'd decided that we better get some sleep.
"Wakey wakey, rise and shine!" I opened my eyes to see Alan standing over me with a water bomb in his hand. I screamed at about the same time as I heard 5 other screams, followed by lots of laughter. "You should have seen your faces! " "And heard your screams!" "You didn't really think we'd wet you at this hour did you?" "Yes!" We all said in unison. The boys laughed and then pretended to look hurt claiming that we didn't have enough trust in them. What a way to start the day! We were sooo gonna get them back for this. I realised Alan was still standing by my bed. He looked at me and sat down on the end of my bed. My stomach gave a leap. "Hey Fi, like our little joke?" "Hell no! And don't think we're not gonna get you back." He laughed. "Actually Alan. It was a good prank but it's not good when it happens to you!" He laughed again. I heard Jack yell to Clu. "Hey dude! We're gonna miss breakfast. Hurry up!" "Oh man is it all you can eat here?" They ran out. Alan jumped up and ran after them. "Hey dudes, wait for me!"
An hour and a half later we were back in the cars again. We were around 4 hours away from California. "Ok guys. Two hours then a stop and then the last two hours?" "Sure Fi." Jack was driving and I was sitting next to Alan and Heidi. Super! Or in Clu's words, Stellar! Clu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned around to face me. "Hey Fi, hungry?" He chucked three jelly beans at me, then turned around quickly, laughing. "Hey!" I picked one up off my lap and popped it into my mouth. "Mmmm, yummy jelly beans. Thanks Clu!" Then I picked up another one and chucked it back at him. Before long we had a little jelly bean war going on between the two of us with the occasional bean thrown from either Heidi or Alan. Jack couldn't join in because he was driving and soon enough, he told us to break it up. "Party Pooper!" Clu and I spoke at the same time. Then we looked at each other and started laughing. "Hey, two great minds think alike!" Jack snorted. "Oh as if! If you had a great mind Fi you'd use it on things other than paranormal stuff! Hint hint!" Alan spoke up. "Dude, don't diss the paranormal stuff!" "I have to agree. Sorry man." Clu patted Jack on the shoulder. Jack just laughed. "You're all nuts!" "Dude! three againts one." Clu turned to Heidi. "What do you think? You've hardly said anything! You gotta talk more, like me!" He gave a big grin. That just made me laugh. Jack put in an opinion. "And don't forget Fi! You guys are both chatterboxes!" I laughed even more. "Yes, you see Fi and I were born talking." He leaned in closer to us. "Sometimes Fi tells me she thinks she's not actually Jack's sis!" He sniggered. Now I was laughing really hard. "Oh thanks sis. You don't even want to be related to me now hey?" I put on a serious face. "Oh Jack, you know I love you, you're just so....different from me, but yet, strangely similar." "Yeh you see you both have the same mum!" Everyone was laughing, including Jack. I sat up. "Guys, there is no one in the whole world that I would rather take a road trip with!" "Awwwwwww."
