"Miami beach here we come!" Summer cheered before turning to face Seth, "I
gotta give you credit Cohen, you actually pulled this road trip off. And Chino, seriously, I don't know how you convinced the Cohen's to let you guys go, but you rock."
"Remind me again why we're driving, and not flying?" Marissa questioned, glancing at the light blue mini-van they had rented.
"Marissa, I think you're missing the point of a roooaad trip," Seth drew the words out like he was talking to a child.
"Shut up Seth," Marissa glared at him. "I'm just saying instead of spending six days round trip on the road, and that's assuming nothing slows us down, why don't we fly?"
"Because Coop, everyone has to go on a road trip at least once in their lives," Summer responded. "Besides it'll be a blast." Not wanting to create anymore of a dispute, Marissa gave up and retreated to the car. It was one cheap looking van, and she sullenly wondered why they even bothered. The Range Rover would have fit five, and they could have taken it if a certain Nichol love child hadn't decided to tag along at the last possible second. Plus, Zach was coming along, meaning Marissa was probably going to end up exploring Miami on her own. She'd just have to find her own fun.
"Alright, I'm here!" Lindsay announced, running up the driveway with her single bag. "Sorry for holding everyone up, my mom totally wigged and asked like a thousand questions."
"No worries," Summer shrugged, as she climbed into the front seat of the car, "One thing though, how can you only take one bag? We're going for like 2 weeks."
"Yeah, I know, but I don't have a ton of clothes to take anyways," Lindsay admitted nervously, "But I figure I can just stop at a laundry mat down there or something, and wash some things."
"You do your own laundry?" Summer raised a carefully waxed eyebrow, but then suddenly felt bad, "I mean, that's cool. Independence it totally in these days."
"Alright, it's about time we get this show on the road," Seth bounced the car keys in his right hand, as he ushered everyone into the car. As soon as everyone was situated, he stuck the car keys into the ignition and started the car, "Let the road trip commence!"
"I'm hungry," Summer whined, playing with the power window, "Can't we stop soon?"
"Come on, we're only like 13 hours away from Miami," Seth argued, slightly tempted to turn up the radio just to drown her out. "Here eat some of these pop tarts." He hoisted an open box of pop tarts in front of her face, which she immediately turned her nose up at.
"No way," Summer shook her head, and pushed the box away, "It's been almost 2 days since I had any real food."
"We ate at a Red Lobster last night in Nashville, Sum," Marissa pointed out from the middle seat, "And you've had food since then."
"I know," Summer whined, "But I'm still hungry! I'm not going to wait 13 hours for food!"
"Yeah, but can't you wait until we at least get into Florida?" Seth pleaded, "We really don't have the time for a pit stop."
"We would if you didn't drive so damn slow, Cohen!" Summer rolled her eyes, "We'd probably be there already."
"We went over this on the way to Tijuana, remember?" Seth pointed out, "I doubt we need to rehash it again."
"Whatever," Summer cried, "I am so making sure someone else drives us home. I mean seriously-"
"Enough," Zach piped up from next to Marissa, "I speak for everyone when I say we're tired of your bickering."
"Sorry sweetie," Summer apologized quietly, suddenly realizing she had practically forgotten Zach was in the car.
"Yeah, and freaking Romeo and Juliet are asleep back there," Marissa griped, motioning to Ryan and Lindsay who were peacefully snuggled together in the back seat. The three of them sensed the anger in Marissa's voice, but opted not to say anything. "Wouldn't want to wake them up now, would we?"
"Nope, I'm sure we wouldn't," Seth agreed just to humor her, "So what's up with DJ? Why didn't he want to come?"
"He doesn't have enough vacation time," Marissa answered, but didn't want to stick to the subject, "Can I have one of those pop tarts?"
"Sure," Summer grabbed the box from the dashboard, and tossed it to Marissa, before turning back to face the windshield. The car grew quiet as everyone focused on the North Carolina landscape. Due to a minor detour, they had been forced to go through a few smaller towns before they could get back onto the main highway. Summer leaned back, thinking that maybe some good old shut-eye would take her mind off of her stomach. Just as she was about to nod off, she noticed a small squirrel out of the corner of her eye. It was sitting on the side of the road, poised to run across the road.
"Seth, watch out!" Summer screamed, grabbing his arm as she realized the squirrel was trying to make a break for it. "Oh my god, don't hit him!"
"Hit who?!?" Seth questioned, bewildered and immediately searching for a small child or person of some sort. Instead of answering, Summer grabbed the wheel and jerked it to the left, causing the car to swerve in front of another car and over the grassy median, the front end of the minivan connecting with the back of a green convertible VW Bug.
"Holy crap," Marissa gasped from the back seat.
"What the hell just happened?" Ryan groaned, his voice still verging on groggy came from the very back.
"Is everyone okay?" Zach asked immediately.
"Fine," everyone chimed at different intervals.
"We should check on the other car," Zach suggested, always the level headed one of the group. Everyone quickly climbed out of the van, still shaken and hoping that the other people in the car are okay. Once they were all out of the car, a teenage girl, probably their age, was getting out of the driver seat of the bug, her dark hair blowing in the wind and her face the picture of rage.
"Who the hell granted you your license, Billy Joel?"
