Summary: Just what Ruthie has always wanted: A road trip with five of her best friends, on her sixteenth birthday. But Ruthie, her four best friends, and her boyfriend (who is still Peter) run into a few problems.

Writer's Note: This story takes place two years from now, when Ruthie is turning sixteen. She's dating Peter, so it's as if he never moved away.

The road was calling their names. Literally.

"Can you hear it? It's saying 'Ruthie, Peter, Jacee, Jason, Kelsey, Daniel.. come and follow me!'" Daniel was acting like a retard. They had just pulled out of the Camden house in Jacee's Convertable. It was very uncomfortable with five people. They were all going to take turns driving, except for Kelsey, who was only 15 and only had her learner's permit. Jacee was driving. Jason was sleeping in the passenger side, and Kelsey was sitting on him. Peter, Ruthie, and Daniel were in the back. Daniel was throwing popcorn.

"Daniel! Shut up!" Ruthie exclaimed.

"You shut up!" Daniel yelled. They were laughing and talking and the music was up so loud, Jason couldn't get to sleep.

"I have an idea! How about you all shut up and turn off that stupid music so some people can sleep!" Jason yelled. Kelsey slapped him. "Ow!"

"Everybody be really loud so Jason can't get to sleep!" Jacee told everyone.

"I second that motion!" Ruthie yelled, right in Jason's ear.

"Whoo!" They all yelled, all except for Jason.

"This is so fun. And to think, we're just now out of Glen Oak," Peter explained.

"My parents are SO going to kill me if this car is not perfect when I get home, so I'm warning you people! Especially you, Daniel!" Jacee yelled. The music soon became a slow song and they changed the channel. None of them wanted to think of love, sadness, or even making out at a time like that. It was just a big party.

"What kind of music is this?" Daniel asked.

"I think that's an old Britney Spears song," Ruthie explained.

"That was SO five years ago!" Kelsey said.

"You're a Britney fan?" Jacee asked.

"Yeah. I have all of her CD's. She was like, my idol as a child. I'm totally over that now, though," Kelsey explained.

"You people need mental help," Jason stated.

"Look who's talking," Jacee replied.

"Good one, Jacee!" Ruthie yelled. She gave her a high-five. Then Kelsey stuck her head out the window and yelled at the top of her lungs, just for fun.

About an hour later, they were out of gas. It was ten fifteen and they were all getting tired.

"We could sleep now," Jacee suggested after filling up the gas tank.

"Great idea. Where are we going to sleep?" Jason asked, "Cause' anywhere is find with me."

"Are we going to a hotel?" Peter asked.

"No, we're sleeping in this car," Ruthie replied.

"Are you serious?" Daniel asked, putting his arm around Ruthie.

"No nasty thoughts, Daniel," Ruthie explained, taking his arm off, "And yes, I'm serious."

"Aw, crap. So is Kelsey going to be on my lungs the whole night? If so, I don't think I'll make it. She's heavier than she looks," Jason said.

"No, you can sleep on the floor," Kelsey explained.

"What floor?" Jason asked through gritted teeth.

"I think that's the point, Jason, no floor," Ruthie explained. They were all laughing again.

"Um, all right.. but can we put on some slow songs?" Daniel asked.

"Daniel, none of us like you in that way," Jacee explained.

"You never know," Daniel protested.

"We know," Ruthie explained.

"Yeah, same," Kelsey agreed.

"Fine!" Daniel said.
