Whoooooot to all my reviewers, just to let you know, in the next chapter, you will get a lead on who sent the flowers. Oh with the show, i was going to go straight onto Vegas, but i decided to use a chapter for the journey. Just so you know, the camp isn't in New York, so it's a little closer to Vegas. I don't know America, so i don't know any traveling times...i can barely do that with my own contry, lol, so if there's any mistakes, i humbly appologise. I also don't know if there is such a thing as a ten dollar bill, if there isn't i, once again, humbly appologise, i'm British....that's as good an excuse as any.
Chapter 17 - Road trip
****
Kitty was happily humming to herself as the drove along the motorway. She thought she was doing quite well. Okay, so some of the others had either started to cry or passed out in fear after she almost ploughed into the side of a tanker truck, but the key word there was ALMOST, she hadn't actually hit it....just clipped it....leaving a big dent in the camp bus.
"How the heck did Amanda get past Haloway?", asked Scott suddenly, "i thought she was watching her!".
"'Someone' let the chickens loose", said Jean with a yawn, "she must have snuck out then".
"Devilishly clever", mused Roberto, half-asleep.
"Guys, i've been driving for hours!", wined Kitty, "i'm getting sleepy".
"Dear God, she's going to go to sleep behind the wheel!", shouted Pietro from where he sat behind Wanda and Todd, having fun poking his sisters head while she slept.
"Gah!", she said, jolting awake at the loud noise in her ear, "you don't have to shout!".
"I'll drive", said Lance with a sigh, "pull in Kitty".
"Errr....slight problem", said Kitty, "i..don't know where to go".
Scott was glad he had a visor over his eyes, so no one could see his eye suddenly twitch.
"What do you mean?", he asked, gritting his teeth into a forced smile...making him look quite scary.
"Well...i've never really driven on a motorway before", she said, "this is my first time".
There was a deathly silence.
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!", shouted Tabby.
Jean sighed, rising above her panic to manovere the bus with her TK onto a stopping area.
"Lance.....please take the wheel", she said calmly, "Kitty....please tell us next time before you drive somewhere you never have before...or even better, never ever drive again".
Lance nodded watching as Kitty sheepishly shifted from the drivers seat into a spare seat. He sat in the drivers seat and headed off.

"Guys...we have a problem", said Todd, a little while later.
"I'm tired of problems", said Scott, shaking his head, "nothing can be that bad anymore".
Todd held up two ten dollar bills.
"We're outta money", he said.
"Mmmmm...yes that DOES sound like a rather serious problem, doesn't it Scott?", snapped Pietro, "how are we supposed to get to Vegas, get food and get a place to stay with TWENTY DOLLARS?. Between ELEVEN PEOPLE?!!!!".
"Chill out Pietro", said Roberto, putting his hand in his pocket, "we can just use my fathers..credit....card?".
He gave a squeak and emptied out his pockets, a look of panic sweeping across his features.
"That doesn't sound good", pointed out Amara.
"I don't have my wallet!", said Roberto, trying to think what he had done with it, "i..i gave it to Kurt to look after when i went looking for Amara....Kurt has my wallet!. Kurt has my credit card!".
"Oh...darn", said Amara, "Well, we can use mine i suppose...".
"No, you don't understand", said Roberto, his eyes wide in terror, "my father pays that card. If they max it out...he'll kill me, especially if they use it to pay for a wedding. He'll think i used it to get married myself!!!!. Dear God, i'm going to die".
He hugged his knees ot his chest, rocking and began muttering in Brazillian. Amara, suddenly gasped.
"I don't belive it!", she snapped, "that guy i was with last night stole my credit card!!!. I don't believe it, i have been robbed. Call the authorities!".
"So, what we are being told, essentially, is that we have no money", said Lance from behind the wheel.
"Wow, you catch on quick", quipped Scott.
"Remember Nevada is on a fault line Summers", said Lance, narrowing his eyes.
"I don't see a problem", said Tabby, "i mean we're going to Las Vegas right?. We can just win money!".
"Or we could just lose it all and end up with nothing!", said Rogue.
"Not with luck on our side", said Tabby, putting her hand on Wanda's shoulder, "Wanda here can just 'alter' the probabilities of us winning in our favour".
"You mean cheat?", said Scott, "nuh uh, no way".
"I could you know", mused Wanda, "wow....why didn't we think of this before?, i could have made my fortune by now!".
"It's illegal!", said Scott, who was becoming aware he was fighting a losing battle.
"I tell you what, any casino that has a 'no changing probabilities' rule, we won't use it", said Todd.
"Why me?", said Scott, banging his head on the window, "hey...didn't we just miss our turn off?".
******
Yup, there we go, another chapter down for the count!. What will our teens get up to in Vegas?. Will the power of the Casiono's go to Wanda's head?. Will you find out who sent those god damn flowers?. Well....you'll just have to wait and see, won't you? Please do review...until next time....
