(Ok, this chapter will get hyper because while I'm writing this, I'm also watching this movie called 'The Long, Long Trailer'. It's the one with Lucy and Ricky in it, and they've got a trailer and are driving cross- country with it. It's a great movie for a laugh!)

"Ok! Why is there a possum in this R.V.?" demanded Spyro. The possum was sitting in the middle of the floor. Hunter picked it up and threw it out the window. "Ok! Let's go!" said Elora as she took the wheel. They drove out of the snail farm and managed to run over the sign in the process. "So, where are we going to next?" asked Sabina.

"Well, we're not making anymore meaningless stops until we get to that state park in Texas, that's for sure." said Bianca.

Akiro sat on the couch and looked out the window. "Hey, guys! Let's make a meaningless stop at that gas station!"

"OK!" They pulled into the gas station. "Smooth move Spyro!" said Hunter as he got out. "You parked on a possum!"

"Oh, Akiro!" shouted Sabina. "Get the camera, it's an actual biker gang!" The bikers glared at them menacingly. "What are you lookin at?!" demanded their very muscular leader. Akiro chuckled sheepishly. "Um, heh heh, can we get a picture?"

The muscular tough guy considered it. "Ok!" So Spyro, Elora, Bianca, Hunter, Akiro and Sabina got to get their picture taken with the bikers. "Say cheese!" said the random guy they asked to take the picture.

Spyro decided to fill up the tank. Suddenly, Moneybags rode up on some little girl's bike (You know, pink, training wheels, cute flowery basket , that little padded thingy between the handles and the streamers hanging out of the handles.)

"Hey....you!" he panted. "Geeze, I'm outta shape....oh yeah....GIVE ME BACK THAT RV!!!"

"No way man!" said Hunter. "We're going to some state park in Texas and you can't stop us!" Moneybags fell off the bike. "Jerk! Just for that I'm gonna..."

"Hey Spyro, is this guy bugging ya?" asked one of the bikers. Spyro nodded and the bikers surrounded the bear. "Is this going to be painful?" he asked. The bikers nodded as they cracked their knuckles and then jumped on him. "Wow! Bianca, are you getting pictures of this?" asked Hunter as they watched the fight.

"Oh!" exclaimed Bianca as she snapped another photo. "That one's going on the refrigerator!" Spyro checked his watch. "Woah! Hey guys! We'd better get going." They climbed onto the RV. "Thanks biker guys!" Elora yelled out the window. The muscular tough biker guys stopped beating up Moneybags and waved. "Bye!" Then they quickly went back to pounding the living daylights out of everyone's least favorite bear.

Bianca was driving this time. "So where are we now?" asked Akiro. Elora checked the map. "We're about to leave California." she announced. "Hunter take this map and mark our course on it!"

She handed Hunter the map and a pencil. Hunter promptly started drawing a comic book on the map.

THREE HOURS LATER

Bianca and Elora were sitting up front. "Have you seen the others?" Bianca asked Elora. Elora got up to look for them. "This is an RV! Where could they possibly get lost!?" She opened the bathroom door and found Spyro, Hunter, Akiro and Sabina all wearing their swimsuits (or swim trunks), sitting in the overflowing bathtub. "What is the meaning of this!?!?" demanded Elora.

"We're hot!" whined Sabina. "We're trying to cool off but the tub's too small!" Elora slapped her forehead. "You dummies! When the tub is too small you're supposed to fill up the bathroom with water, duh!" She ran back to the bedroom, got into her swimsuit, and ran back to the bathroom. "Let's get started!"

So they shut the door and filled the bathroom up with water. "What's that fuzzy thing in the drain?" asked Elora. "A possum." Hunter replied smoothly. They were playing Marco Polo when they heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" said Akiro. Bianca opened the door, stepped inside and closed it again. The water stayed where it was, just like a cheesy cartoon gag.

"Why are you having a pool party in the bathroom without inviting me?" she asked. "Oops, sorry." said Hunter. "Wanna play with noodles?" he asked as he pulled out several of the bright foam pool toys from behind his back. They fooled around for another hour, and then the RV hit a bump. "Wait a minute!" said Spyro. "Won't all this water be bad for the carpeting?"

"Oh yeah, and if we're all in here, WHO'S DRIVING?!?!?!"

They ran out of the bathroom (The water STILL didn't rush out of the bathroom when the door was opened.) and grabbed the steering wheel simultaneously, just at the vehicle drove over the "Now leaving California' sign.

"Did anyone important see that?" asked Hunter. "No" said Sabina. "Just keep driving and pretend we didn't do it."

Later that day, they were driving through the Arizona desert. "Let's stop and see the Grand Canyon while we're here." said Spyro. "We'll be there in a few hours."

Meanwhile, under the RV....

Moneybags had somehow escaped the bikers and had strapped himself to the underside of the vehicle. "Steal my RV will they? They'll be in for a surprise when they reach the Grand Canyon." he muttered.

"Hey! Look!" said Spyro, who was driving now. "Speed bumps!" The rest of the gang jumped up and down excitedly. "Hey, see how fast you can take 'em!" said Hunter. Spyro burned rubber going over the bumps. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!" groaned Moneybags as the speed bumps hit him in the head. Elora heard a squeaking sound under Spyro's seat. "Spyro, there's a possum under your seat." she said. Spyro picked it up and threw it out the window, just as the bear peeked out from under the RV. The possum landed on his face, bit him many times and jumped off.

"Stupid possum..."

"Hey, look up ahead!" said Spyro. "A puddle of boiling hot water!" Akiro jumped into the passenger's seat and replied. "Water evaporates pretty fast here!" he said. "You'd better speed through it fast before it dries up!"

"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww................." Moaned Moneybags as they drove through the puddle. "Check this out!" said Hunter. "This button lets you retract the wheels and slide!"

"Let's power-slide over this next mile of sun-baked asphalt!"

(Take a wild guess...)

"I hope they don't drive through anything else painful!" thought Moneybags after they had un-retracted the wheels.

"Who wants to cut through this 100 mile wide field of cactus?" asked Spyro.

"I do!" shouted everybody.

So Spyro turned off the road and cut through the cactus...

(To be continued...)

Yes, I did get that last bit from an episode of The Simpsons. I wonder what Moneybags will do when they get to the Canyon...
