A/N: Hey lads and lassies, Mademoiselles and Monsieurs!! How's it hangin'??? Anyways, I know it took me a while to update this chapter **Readers glare at SilverGunVM** He-he, hope yalls aren't mad at me, your wonderful provider of V/M fluff **tries to persuade the readers into not being mad anymore** . . . ok my attempts are, as I see, futile so, why don't I just get on with Chapter 7?? **Readers give reassuring nods** Okey Dokey then let go!!
Disclaimer: Actually yes, I do own Trigun, and Vash is mine by the way!! **Gets chased by lawyers and fangirls** OK, OK, I CONFESE, I DON'T OWN TRIGUN!! **Gets jumped by fangirls** OK, OK, I DON'T OWN VASH EITHER!!!!!
P.S. In the car, driving to, "you'll figure out in this chapter".
~*~previously in chapter 6~*~
"Just let her try . . . please?" Vash asked, putting his most pitiful face on for Knives. Knives would not let Vash help him up and would definitely not let that weirdly cheery spider help him so he agreed to this "Meryl" spider helping him.
"Fine," Knives mumbled. Meryl moved closer and gingerly put her arm around his waist and he put his arm around her neck. They walked and made it outside with no scream from Knives, Vash following. 'This spider is useful after all," Knives thought while being sat in his seat at the back of the car with Meryl, Milly in the front and Vash driving.
"We all good?" Vash asked, mostly directing the question towards Knives. Everyone mumbled "yea, sure, yup" or something along those lines. Later that night Vash looked next to him, Milly was sleeping, then he looked behind him and saw Meryl's head on Knives shoulder and Knives head on Meryl's head.
Vash was jealous.

Chapter 7 ::Always watch the road::
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They were all sound asleep, other then Vash the driver of course. Every few minutes Vash would look behind himself and see Knives and Meryl, which made his blood boil. A breeze swept past the car, which unfortunately, had no top. Vash shivered as the ice cold breeze went past the bare flesh on his hands and face, giving him goose bumps. The days on Gunsmoke were unbearably hot yet the nights, unexplainably, were usually freezing down to the bone. A breeze swept over the car again, making Vash shiver all the way down to his toes, which curled in his boots. The breeze not only made Vash shiver but it awoken Knives also. Knives quickly jumped at the realization that Meryl was leaning on him, sleeping, and he was leaning on her, sleeping. Luckily, Meryl only slid to her other side, half awake, and leaned on the door of the car instead of Knives, and fell asleep once again. Knives glared at Vash, eyes ice cold.
"Vash! Why didn't you tell me this spider was leaning on me?!" Knives whispered, as loud as a whisper could be, trying not to the sleeping "spider".
"If you didn't notice, you were leaning on her also," Vash answered Knives, grinning at the acknowledgment that Knives would never like, she's human.
Knives snorted. Knives had no snappy come–back, he knew Vash was right but didn't want to admit it; he loathed being wrong.
The Morning
Meryl was the first to wake up. She yawned, which caught Vash's attention. Vash turned around and saw Meryl yawn.
'Wow, she is cute!' Vash thought about Meryl **He's been doing that a lot lately, huh? ^_^** Meryl finished her yawn and saw Vash staring at her and blushed. The blush tickled the tips of her ears down to her cheeks. Then Meryl turned her gaze to the road behind Vash and her eyes widened until they could no more.
"Vash, watch the road!" Meryl screamed at the top of her lungs; her voice came back. Meryl's loud scream awoken Milly and Knives. Vash snapped out of his daze and turned around toward the road. Vash quickly grabbed the steering wheel but it was too late; the car crashed into a boulder.
"VASH!" Meryl screamed like a banshee. Knives covered his ears and screamed, albeit not as loud as Meryl.
"Quiet woman, you'll make me DEAF!" Meryl ignored Knives "comment" and kept on yelling at Vash.
"I swear to god, LOOK WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING NEXT TIME!" Meryl screamed again, this time louder (if possible).
Vash put his hand behind his head and smiled a deadly combination. Meryl use to hit Vash after he put forward his oh-so famous "goofy smile & hand behind his head" combination but something changed; she fell in love with Vash, every part of him, scars-goofy faces. Every time he did Meryl did want to hit him but always go mesmerized so it was to no avail. Meryl got mesmerized at how handsome Vash was. When she snapped out of her daze she gave Vash her oh-so famous death glare. Vash flinched, Meryl's death glares didn't get their name because they we sweet and fluffy, far from it. Meryl thought for a minute 'I really need to hit Vash, what am I waiting for?!' but before she got to it, Meryl heard Knives scream once again.
"VASH, YOU . . . YOU, STUPID, IDIOTIC, IMBICILE, OUR ENGINE IS WRECKED!" No one noticed Knives checking the engine for damages after the crash. Meryl jumped out of the car, Milly following, and stood behind Knives and asked if the damages to the engine were repairable.
"No." Knives sneered, making Meryl send piercing glares into the back of Knives head. Knives noticed the glares directed toward him and turned around; sending Meryl a few piercing glares. Knives and Meryl are looking eye-to-eye at each other, both glares burning holes in to the opponent. Knives wasn't used to this, humans standing up to him was a no-no. 'This spider is very brave, she knows every thing I've done and yet she acts normal, more or less, towards me. She is very intriguing indeed. None the less, she is really pushing her luck.' Knives thought, turning around back to the engine, ending the intense "glaring fight" between him and Meryl.
Meryl also turned around, walking towards Vash, lip curled in an animalistic sneer, leaving Knives with Milly; bad idea. Meryl looked at Vash; he was fiddling with his thumbs in a childish manner.
"VA-A-A-A-A-SH!" Meryl sang menacingly cheerful. Vash looked up at Meryl and gave her his puppy dog eyes; Meryl grinned.
"Ah-ha-ha, you think those are going to work now?!" Meryl laughed at Vash's pathetic attempt at escape.
"He-he, worth a try was chuckled nervously, all the while going out of the car and backing away from Meryl slowly. Meryl noticed Vash was backing away from her slowly so she started walking toward Vash, the same pace he is backing away.
"Why are you backing away Vash? Don't tell me you're . . . scared?!" Meryl said grinning devilishly. Vash laughed nervously, still backing away slowly. Vash foot got caught on a rock and Vash tripped and fell back. Meryl grinned again, even wider then last time; she was going to take advantage of Vash tripping and falling.
Meryl's feet lightly tapped the ground as she was walking, almost gracefully. Vash knew better, you could never tell whether Meryl was mad by her walk, it's always in her eyes. Vash looked at Meryl's eyes and he noticed they turned from devilishly amused to agitated, the color burning fire red in her eyes. Also her grin turned into a sneer, always a bad sign.
"Vash you destroyed our engine! Do you, by and miracle from god, have a GOOD idea for different transportation?!" Meryl yelled, infuriated.
"Ummm . . . we could walk . . . and . . . I guess . . . catch a ride on a bus when one comes by?" Vash said shyly. "Oh and by the way, where are we going?" Vash said quietly, hoping not to get Meryl even madder.
"We're going to December. Bernardelli H.Q. is there and we could get more information on the kidnapping there, since Josh did work there with me. Oh and by the way Vash, how, pray tell, are we going to find a bus?! Meryl added, still infuriated.
"Well-"Vash was cut off by an angry Knives.
"DAMN WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP!?" Knives screamed towards Milly. Vash and Meryl both turned around wide-eyed. Vash ran over to Knives and tried to calm him down. Vash also explained his plan for getting to December to both Milly and Knives.
"Idiot," Knives and Meryl both said simultaneously. The y both looked at each other and gave death glares and turned back. Meanwhile Milly and Vash were playing "rock paper scissors". So they set off towards December, grabbing their necessities out of the car, hoping for a bus to come along.
Later that day
The sun beat down relentlessly on the group. Meryl swiped the sweat of her brow with the back of her hand, her other hand fanning herself. Vash and Milly were in back of the group and Meryl and Knives were in the front. Vash couldn't stop thinking about what Meryl said earlier, "since Josh did work there with me." Josh used to work with Meryl on a day by day basis, Vash was envious. Not only that, but Josh and Meryl went out, I mean jeez!
"Argg! When is that so called 'bus' coming Vash?!" Meryl asked Vash, interrupting his thoughts. Vash thought for a moment and looked out into the horizon, hoping and praying a bus would some how come, and soon; his prayers were answered.
