Part 2: Convincing The Parents (And Escaping The Girlfriends)
So, four underage males want to go on a road trip. Let us all think logically. Underage. Male. Testosterone. Urges. Proximity to Nevada and legal prostitution. Logic would say that no parents would allow their sons to go out on such a trip.
Did I forget to mention logic has no place in this story?
Michael was free, so of course he had no trouble. He just packed up some Metallica shirts and tapes and was ready. Alex, who claims to have parents but who are not confirmed to exist, easily got permission too. So we believe, there is the off chance he hacked them into little pieces and is living alone... but that's doubtful. He packed up his tidy whities and pictures of Isabel and was gone.
Two out of four, not bad. Max didn't have much trouble as it seems his parents are rather guila... erm, loving and trusting. They have faith in their boy to be a good man and not do anything wrong (a.k.a. they are delusional). Finally, it came down to Kyle whose idea it all was. All he had to do was say that Tess could stay with Isabel and that his dad would have the place all to himself... and he could spend quite time with Amy. Jim helped his son pack.
They then had the more difficult task of getting away from their soon to be even more irrational than usual (blame the author for the comment, not the story) girlfriends. Being the big brave men that they are, they did the big brave manly thing you should do in such situations... they left their girlfriends each a note and snuck off in the middle of the night.
The brave part is that they actually planned to return to Roswell, dumb huh?
