BEANZY – You play the sax, I love the sound of the sax, I always wanted to learn but have never gotten around to it. I'm a little better with reading maps, but I can get pretty confused earlier, I'm very proud of the fact when I was going on holiday, I navigated our way from Sheffield to Norfolk without getting us lost, and back again. I like that last line, 'women will do what men won't – ask for directions' – that is so true lol. Anyways thanks for your review and support. CHEERS MI DEARS!!!!
RACHEL – Don't worry about it, I totally understand about being busy, I don't seem to stop recently. Usually I get Saturdays off and Tuesdays off, but for the past fortnight and few weeks to come I've worked at the stables Saturday and Sunday and then taken a few college friends riding on Tuesday afternoon, then this Tuesday I'm going to Sherwood Forrest riding then the week after that I'm taking more friends riding – it make me feel tired just thinking about it. Anyways thanks for your review and support. CHEERS MI DEARS!!!!

JOC – Right, I don't think I'll do a double wedding if that's the luck it brings lol. I agree the girls have to win, but whether they will or not remains the question.

Chapter 14
CONNIE'S P.O.V
Half way through the night, me and Julie swapped, leaving her to drive for a bit. She had busied herself whilst I had been driving, highlighting the route we were supposed to be taking on the map. I had to say it made it that little bit more easy to read. When I knew Julie was ok driving and where she was going, I put my head back and caught a few hours sleep. Sleeping in a car isn't exactly comfortable, but knowing we had a plan up our sleeves to pay the guys back for speeding past us, made my sleep that little bit more peaceful. About 6.30, I woke to Julie singing gently along with radio. She had been driving since about midnight and looked visibly drained.
"Morning". I said groggily as I sat up fully.
"Hey". She replied.
"So, if you pull over at the next rest stop and I'll take over". I told her, she nodded and continued concentrating.
Within 5 minutes, she had turned off the highway and pulled in at a gas station. I bounded off to get us some snacks whilst Julie topped the tank up with gas. 10 minutes later we were on the move. Julie fell to sleep quickly, but kept waking every so often. After 4 hours of sleeping/waking/sleeping, she finally stayed awake and we began having our snacks.
"So when are we gonna ring them"? I asked, dying to get the plan moving.
"How about now, but you'll have to pull over on the hard shoulder". She replied. I did as I was told and turned in my seat to face her.
"Right so what do we do"? I asked smiling evilly.
"First, you need to sound panic stricken. Then call Guy and tell him that the car has broken down, I've gone in search for help, tell him where we are and can they come and get us". Julie smirked.
"Ok, where about's are we"? I asked, even though I'd been driving I wasn't sure where we were.
"Highway 76 in Colorado, 10 miles from exit 12". She told me. I began dialling the number of Guy's cell and waited for him to answer.
"Hello"? He answered.
"Guy, oh thank God". I began my little speech.
"Con's, what's up"? He sounded a little worried almost immediately.
"The cars broken down. There's steam coming from the engine and everything". I wailed.
"It's ok, calm down. Where's Julie"? He asked.
"She's gone in search of a gas station or something". I replied, just as a car sped past us piping his horn at someone else. I let out a little yelp, which was perfect timing.
"Ok, where are you"? He sounded even more worried by now.
"Highway 76 in Colorado, 10 miles from exit 12". I told him.
"Ok, stay there". He told me then hung up.
"YES". He bought it hook line and sinker". I yelped hugging Julie and bouncing around.
"That little scream was perfect by the way". Julie told me.
"Wasn't it, I could do Broadway". I giggled.
"Right let's get going, we want to get a few miles edge on them at least before we call them back". Julie told me and I immediately started the engine and began driving.
GUY'S P.O.V
I had just filled Adam in, on the situation and he had turned off the highway we were on and headed onto another. I was worried, Connie sounded scared and the honking of the horn did nothing but scare me even more. I didn't however tell Adam about that bit because he'd probably become hysterical.
"I knew something like this would happen, why'd I let you talk me into this". He began babbling.
"Calm down, they're ok, nothing's gonna happen to them". I tried comforting him, but was mainly comforting myself.
"How'd you know nothings going to happen to them. Highway 76 is ONE of the busiest highways in Colorado".
"Exactly, no-one is going to mug them, or rape them when there's loads of people to see".
"Great oh great. I wasn't thinking anything like that, but I am now". He told me.
We continued to sit in silence for the next 20 minutes. I was secretly worried, neither of them knew anything about cars, and if they hadn't managed to find help, then they would be stranded for at least another 2 hours before we got to them. Suddenly my phone rang, I dove for it and answered it quickly.
"Connie". I shouted.
"Yeah". Came the reply.
"Are you ok"? I asked.
"Oh, yeah we're fine, Julie managed to get a mechanic, he's just finished fixing it, it was just something to do with a belt, oh what did he say". She told me.
"Fan belt". I suggested.
"Yeah, that's the one. So anyway, you don't need to come and get us now". She told me.
"Are you sure"? I asked.
"Yeah. I'll see you when you get to Minnesota". She said then hung up. I turned slightly to Adam.
"Well"? He asked impatiently.
"I think we've been had". I said.
"What do you mean"?
"They've been rescued". I replied.
"So what makes you think we've been had"?
"Well it's taken them 20 minutes to find a mechanic and get a new fan belt fitted".
"Ah but it depends how long Julie was looking for help, she might have set off half an hour before Connie phoned you".
"You trust your girlfriend way too much Adam". I chucked as we headed back onto our original route.
JULIE'S P.O.V
Connie put the phone down and winked at me. I was back driving for a few hours as I didn't sleep half as much as Connie did. I know our plan had been rather devious, but it was the only thing we could think of to get them back for speeding past us on the highway, and I knew neither Adam or Guy thought we could make it back to Minnesota without them. We weren't really lying though, as 10 minutes ago, we had, had to really have a new fan belt fitted and had a receipt to prove it.
"So, did they buy it"? I asked her.
"Yeah, they are so gullible".
"I wouldn't say gullible, they just have naturally good actresses as girlfriends". I joked.
"It's a shame there wasn't a judge in the car, they'd have signed us up for a soap opera right now".
"Oh I don't know about a soap opera, probably a huge film, acting along side on of the greats like Audrey Hepburn or Doris Day".
"I'd prefer someone like Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves". Connie said.
"Definitely Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves". I agreed laughing.
Ohh, I promise that the next chapter they will arrive in Minnesota and the Olympics parts will be involved more. PLEASE R&R!!!!!!
