Okay, I put off updating this fic too long.











Chapter six - Moving.















Ian did something expected. He fainted.

"........That saves an explanation. Maggie! Pack your stuff! We have to move NOW!!!!!!!!!"













"Everything's packed?"

"Positive."

"What's going on?"

"Kyle, we have to leave here."

"What? But I like it here."

"I'm sorry, we have to."

Sarah put the last of the stuff in a moving van she rented. Then she put Ian in his car with a note.

"Where to?"

"I don't know."

"How about Florida?"

"........"

They then got into the vehicles, and left..........













It was night when Ian woke up.

"Huh? Was I dreaming?"

Then he noticed he was in front of Sarah's house. He was worried. Then he saw the note.

"What's this?"

He picked it up, and looked at it.

"Ian, sorry I couldn't explain, but something's come up, and we have to leave. Signed, Sarah."

He was even more worried now..........













Maggie was surprised when Sarah left her car at her home in California. Still, someone had to drive the moving van. Still, she DID end up stuck with.........

"What's this do?"

Kyle. He was asking about the windshield wipers this time around.

"Kyle, maybe later."

"Oh..........What's this do?" He asked, pointing to the radio.

That gave her an idea. She turned the radio on, and music began to play.

"WOW!"

"This is Stan at the favorite mellow rock station of Kansas. Next we have 'World's Greatest'."

Maggie blinked. They were already in Kansas? She didn't notice, since she was following Sarah, and the van blocked the view of signs occasionally.

"I am a mountain~ I am a valley, WHOOOOOOOOOOOA~ I am a swift wind, sweeping the country~ If anybody asks you who I am~ Just stand up tall, look 'em in the face and SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY~ I'M THAT STAR UP IN THE SKY, I'M THAT MOUNTAIN PEAK UP HIGH~ HEY ADMIT IT ~ I'M THE WORLD'S GREATEST!!!! I'M THAT LITTLE BIT OF HOPE~ WHEN MY BACK'S AGAINST THE ROPE~ I CAN FEEL IT~ I'M THE WORLD'S GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!!"

"YAH!!!! I LIKE THIS SONG!!!!!!!"

Maggie smiled since she just found a way to keep Kyle out of trouble..........













Maggie then saw Sarah pull into a gas station.

"Are we there yet?" Kyle asked.

Maggie knew he couldn't tell, especially since he was buckled in, and too short to see out the window.

"No, we're at a gas station."

"Huh?"

"A place were cars stop to get refueled."

"Oh."

Kyle's stomach growled.

"I think I need refueled too."

Maggie was reminded that Kyle had knowledge beyond his age in some things, but not all. She got out, and turned to Kyle.

"I'll get something for you to eat."

"K'."

Maggie closed the door, and went in to talk to Sarah. Kyle turned on the radio after undoing his seat belt. He wanted to listen to more music.

"And in local news......."

"That's not it."

He remembered watching Maggie use it, so he turned the knob.

"Hey baby, want some love?"

"My mom loves me."

He turned the knob again, shutting off the commercial.

"Showtime folks! Our next hit is from the Backstreet Boys. It's 'Larger than Life', so let's play!"

Kyle was confused about what that meant until he heard music. Then he heard a laugh. Then he heard lyrics.

"LOOK~ING AT THE CROWD, AS I SEE YOUR BODY SWAY, COME ON! LET ME SEE YOU SWAY!!!!!! WISHING I COULD THANK YOU IN A DIFFERENT WAY~ COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL OF OUR TIME SPENT, IN FLASHES OF LIIIIIIIIIIII~IIIIIIIIIII~IIIIIIIIIIIII~IIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! ALL YOU PEOPLE, CAN'T YOU SEE, CAN'T YOU SEE? HOW YOUR LOVE'S AFFECTING OUR REALITY, EVERY TIME WE'RE DOWN, YOU CAN MAKE IT RIGHT," Then Kyle turn up the volume wondering what the knob was, and Maggie opened the door, "AND THAT MAKES YOU LARGER THAN LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!"

Maggie and Kyle covered their ears. The whole station was wondering what the heck was going on, and Maggie managed to turn the volume back down.

"I KNEW I should've gotten a Bug instead of a boom car!"

Maggie got in, closed her door, and buckled Kyle up before pulling out of the station.

"Sorry."

"It's all right. You didn't know what it did. Here."

Maggie gave him a bag from the station, and Kyle looked in it.

"YAH! THANKS!!"

Then he started munching on some fries..........















As Sarah and Maggie pulled to a stop, Maggie checked the time. It was 1:00 in the morning, and Kyle was asleep. As Kyle slept, Maggie and Sarah unpacked everything, and put Kyle in bed after getting his 'bed', which was a mattress, a couple pillows, a sheet, and a cover, set in his new room.

"Good night Kyle........."
