Okay, so compared to the last couple of chapters this one is pretty short, but it's the most descriptive one I've written yet and I'm pretty proud of it.
Chapter 5 Location: (Driving away from Amity Park? Oo)
For about an hour the Fenton RV had been soundless.
Neither of the two siblings had said a word to each other since the occurrence that happened previously in the day, and Maddie was to busy driving to worry much about the silence.
Danny had moved back to the seat on the left of the RV, his head inactive on his hand as he stared out the window and watched the rest of Amity fade from sight.
They pulled out onto the main highway and Danny turned his interest to the other side of the RV, as though staring out another window would make him feel better.
Jazz was still up in the front seat, looking intently out of her own window with the utmost boredom as her head rested on her hand.
Her eyelids were drooping slightly and she yawned, scanning the passing houses for even the slightest interesting thing to put her attention on.
After finding nothing she turned back to face the front, crossing her arms and slumping down into her seat slightly.
She was inquiring as to what Danny might be up to, but she couldn't convince herself to turn around and look at him, for dread of getting an angry glare in reply...
'I wonder what Tuck and Sam are doing right now...probably having fun...going to Nasty Burger...the mall...all the places I'll never see again...' Danny thought.
He found himself suddenly angry with his two friends. 'Why do they get to stay anyway?!' He growled somewhat and walked back over to the seat in the back of the RV, not able to keep himself in one spot for very long.
He was jealous of them...how they got to stay in Amity where they had been their entire lives, and yet he had to be the one to go off to some bizarre new place...
He kept wondering why he would even think about being angry with his friends, when he missed them so much already...
His thoughts were unexpectedly interrupted by the sudden downfall of rain that swept across the city. Danny figured it would rain later on in the day, but not this soon...
Maddie turned on the windshield wipers and turned up the heat in the car by a few degrees, since the temperature had already declined from the sudden change in the weather.
Danny moved to the seat on the right side of the RV, still feeling jumpy for some reason, anxious...he didn't see why he would be anxious though, when he didn't even want to move in the first place...
But maybe a part of him really did want to leave...He stared out the window, though not able to see much.
Raindrops struck every part of the RV like individual bullets aimed at a target, which just happened to be the RV itself.
The window was drenched with raindrops, which slid off the glass, leaving a trail of water as they continued their course to the road beneath the tires.
The moisture from the rain caused the window to become misty, and no matter how hard Danny squinted his eyes and glared at it, he couldn't see out it.
He grew angrier than before and crossed his arms, fuming as he sunk down into his seat, much like what a younger child would do in the same situation.
He listened to the hammering of the raindrops on all sides of the RV, and watched the piercing flashes of lightning that illuminated the landscape as well as the inside of the vehicle.
Deafening clashes of thunder could be heard afterwards, sending a slight chill up Danny's spine.
He shivered slightly from the cold, but suddenly felt a temperate, pleasurable wave of heat as the small vents on either side of the floor near his seat finally started to carry some warm air toward the back of the RV.
"Come on kids, cheer up!" a voice said, breaking the silence of the RV.
Danny and Jazz snapped out of their glum thoughts and turned to their mother for a moment before going back to brooding.
Maddie glanced at Jazz, than at Danny through the rear view mirror, noticing their miserable attitude.
"I have an idea! Why don't you two play a game or something? There's a deck of cards back there somewhere..." Maddie said, trying to brighten up their spirits.
"I don't feel like it..."
"Maybe later..." both teens said at the same time.
They turned and glanced at each other for less than a second.
"What is wrong with you two? You've been acting weird around each other since before we left the house!" Maddie said, staring at the two suspiciously.
Danny felt his stomach flip at the mention of the house, and Jazz turned back to looking out the window, pretending she was seeing something interesting even though it was all fogged up from the rain.
Maddie rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the road. "You know, you two might be a lot happier if you'd just solve whatever little argument you're having right now," she told them. "I'm sure whatever it is, it can't be that bad that you wouldn't even talk to each other..."
Danny shifted around uncomfortably in his seat, knowing that his mom was right. He couldn't even really remember what the argument had been over...so what use was it to keep being mad at Jazz?
He could tell she was thinking the same thing as she peered around her seat, their eyes meeting in an unspoken apology towards one another.
After that moment their attitudes seemed to lift slightly, though both of them were still upset. And despite having solved their argument, neither one of them could bring themselves to go back and start a conversation with the other.
So Danny moved again to the back most seat and stared out of the foggy window, daydreaming and hoping the bad weather would clear up soon...
