A Road trip (Dom's POV)
So now I live in Jen's barn, in her office and I still know nothing about her. Well, except for the fact that her friend is seductive and managed to drive me to the point of not knowing what I was doing but still. This can be hard on the average person, suddenly sucked out of your life into something never heard of in Tortall. Now I fit in a little better though with a clean haircut and new clothes. Clothes that are pretty scary. Horselords! I mean I have a haircut that's even and close to my head. Some sort of Denim material jeans and t-shirts? I mean what are these? But I wear them and I always have well, my trusted sword at hand when I'm not in public. Any day I could be sucked back into Tortall. Back to the life I know. * * * * * * * * * * * *
Jen came to the barn and announced that her sister, Grace was here for a riding lesson. On her horse Glory and she wanted me to come meet her sister. So I did and you know her thirteen year old sister can be a handful. Her sister gave me one look and then turned to Jen and asked, "Is he supposed to be here?"
"Well, sweetie. He's just visiting for a few days. No need to worry Mom and Dad. And if you don't tell I'll buy you a pony. Pony Penning Day is coming up soon in Chincoteague and I'll take you to buy a pony. How does that sound?" She grimaced as she asked.
Smirking at her pained response, "A pony sounds nice what do you say, lass?"
"Alright a little black and white paint one, sister. And if you don't carry through I tell. Fair?"
Curiously I said, "Well, when is this famed event?"
"Well, seeing how it's July 27th. Three Days. Well I guess we're going on a road trip, Dom." Jen smiled and then brushed her hair out of her face. "Grace lets go home and pack." Then again she turned her hazel eyes onto me, "There are some suitcases in the office put your clothes in them and then we'll hit the road." Moving away she went over to the Vibe she was driving and hopped in. Her sister followed and then they drove off.
Going into Jen's office, I searched frantically until I uncovered what I guessed was a suitcase. Smiling I picked up my clothes and shoved them into it. Then I stared at it puzzled on how to close it. Then I noticed the two jagged lines and turned my attention to them. On one side of the suitcase was a piece of metal. Grabbing hold of it I yanked and then pulled it to the other side. The suitcase was shut! What kind of miracle was this? This was different than catching girl's attention, chasing them, and flirting with them this seemed like magic. But it couldn't be could it? Then a voice startled me, "Dom, lets go."
"Coming," I yelled though I was busy staring at the suitcase. Picking it up I walked outside.
"My parents hate this but they have to trust me. So lets hit the road it's going to be a very long trip. Probably around five or six hours." She took the bag and slung it into the car's back. Other bags were piled there of assorted shapes and sizes.
Bursting in I asked, "What's that thing that closes the bag?"
"It's called a zipper Dom? And I can't explain it to you because I don't know how it works myself. Hop in."
Getting in the car she backed up to a long weird shaped thing. "What is that?"
"Well, that's a trailer to pull Grace's new pony home in." She jumped out and attached it before pulling out. "Well, here we go."
Soon we were moving at a steady pace. Turning to me Jen asked, "Did you and Kel ever get together? I mean you don't have to tell me but..."
I glanced back and reasoned that her sister was asleep. "No, but I don't see why that worries you."
She smiled and then blushed slightly, "Well, No reason really."
Looking at her I snorted in disbelief her eyes told a different story. One that was way different than what was expected. "Are you okay?"
Looking at me startled, Jen said. "Why would you ask that? I mean that is totally none of your business. Now is it?" Looking ahead she hit the little black petal and we took off. The rest of the trip would be silent it seemed.
