Chapter Fifteen

. Brandon's PoV (still).

"Clay! We found it!"

"Whoa... that fast?"

"Yep," I said, showing him the little dot of Mullendale.

"That's where we need to go," Clay said.

"How can she help us?" Will asked. "Your aunt, I mean."

"You'll see," Clay replied. "Now we just gotta get there..."

"It's about a sixty-mile trip from here," I pointed out.

"Hmm... this calls for Hertz..."

. Ronie's PoV .

Oh my god. I've sat through an hour of this. Just shoot me...

"Yo ho, yo ho! A pirate's life for me!"

We should've ditched Val and Jack back at the diner...

"We kindle and char, inflame and ignite..."

Hmm... ignite Val's hair with gasoline at the next gas station. Not a bad idea...

"We-"

"Okay!" I yelled. "Who's up for the radio?"

"Not me!" Val said.

"Aye!" Jack said.

"Whoo... maybe we sohuld have a rest..." Caroline said.

And to Jack and Val's total despair, Caroline leanedforward and turned on the radio. And it wasn't country! Holy crap!

"I say we still sing," Val whispered to Jack.

I threw her a death glare.

"Val..."

"Chill out, Ronie; it was a joke..."

"Har har..."

"See! She's more of a pirate than you!" Jack said.

"Is not!" Val argued. "Ronie, you suck!"

"What!" I asked.

"Everybody likes you! I hate it!"

"Val, calm down!" Not everybody likes me!"

"Psh..."

Boy, that girl's got issues...

"So!" Val yelled.

"Hey, how did you-"

"I'm special."

"Cool..." I said.

"Say, how about we call it a night?" Caroline asked.

"Oh gosh... why not?" I asked.

"It's only 5:30!" Val said.

"We'll grab ya soe clothes..." Caroline said. "There's a shop 'long this road somewhere..."

"How long til we get there?" I asked.

"'Bout ten minutes in this next exit..."

"What's it called?" Val asked.

"Cameo," Caroline said. "Place has all kinds of clothes."

"Think Jack could get a ten gallon hat?" Val asked with a smile up at him.

"That's not funny," Jack said.

"I think we could manage to clean ya up a bit, cowboy," Caroline said. "Clean shave, nice change of clothes, a new hat-"

"NO!" the three of us chorused.

I'm sorry, but that is one Jack I could never look at...

Caroline stared at us sorta surprised.

"Jack doesn't shave," Val said, clutching his vest.

"And he doesn't wear new hats," I said. "Wait... where is your hat, Jack?"

"Don't have it with me," he said.

"Well," Caroline said, "keep an eye out. it's 'round here somewhere."

. Brandon's PoV .

"Which exit?" I asked.

"Umm... hold on..." Clay said, leaning over the map.

"Clay! Hurry up!"

"Umm... um um um..."

"Clay!"

"Okay, okay! Here it is! Next exit it... now!"

SCREECH

"Whoa, BJ! Chill! It's just a rental car!"

"Shut up, Caly! I know how to drive!"

"How much farther?" Will asked from the backseat.

"An hour or two; I just wish you wouldn't have gotten us a convertable, Clay!"

"Why? It's cool!"

"It's expensive!"

""It's the rig!" Will shouted.

"What!"

I spun the wheel hard sending Will and Clay slamming into the side of the car. I slammed my foot on the gas, and we were off.

"BJ! How do you even know if it's the right one!"

"Check the plate!"

I threw it to Clay, and he checked it when we got close enough.

"We have a match!" he yelled. "Floor it!"

I swerved to meet the side of the rig, and Will stood up.

"What are you doing!" I yelled.

"Getting your friends! Where are they?" he asked.

"Are you on drugs! Sit down!" I said.

"But-"

POW

"Oh shoot!" Clay yelled. Will had his head slammed off the rig mirror, and he landed on the road behind us.

"Now what!" he asked.

"We get Ronie and Val!" I said.

. Ronie's PoV .

"Ooo! Turn it up!" Val said. "It's our song, Ronie!"

"Which one?" I laughed.

"Please die, Ana..." Val sang.

I joined in immediately.

"For as long as you're here, we're not..." we sang. "You make the sound of-"

BEEP BEEP

"What's that?" Caroline asked.

"Probably some jackoff..." I said. I leaned over Caroline to yell out the window. "Backoff you-"

"RONIE!"

Oh my god...

"BRANDON?"

"What!" Val asked, leaning on my back. "Whoa! Nice ride!"

"Ronie!" Clay yelled. "Hi!"

I couldn't believe this!

"Is it really them! In that convertable!"

I ignored Val.

"Brandon! Who is that!"

"Who does it look like!"

Oh geez...

"No way!"

"Yeah way! Pull over!"

"Caroline, pull over," I said, bringing my head back into the rig.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"it's my boyfriend!" I said. "And... and Clay!"

Val and Jack gaped at me.

"Are ye sure?" Jack asked, stretching his neck to see the car.

"They're right there!" I said.

Caroline pulled off the highway, Brandon behind us.

"Come on! Move!" I said, shoving Jack and Val out the door.

"We're going! GASP BJ!" Val yelled, jumping out.

I sorta just stood there a minute looking at him.

"I can't beleive you came all this way for us," I said.

"I'm not about to let you leave for North Carolina when you promised to ditch me for Michigan..."

. Val's PoV .

Ronie ran right up to BJ and hugged him.

"Aww... isn't that sweet?"

Jack was standing next to me, so I hugged him.

"Ye're broken again, aren't ye?"

"Nah... hey, Clay! Where you runnin' off to?"

"Come on!"

Jack and I followed him up the road aways, and there layed the body of -

"Holy crap!" I yelled, kneeling next to him.

Jack stared in disbelief.

"He hit the mirror..." Clay said. "It was so fast..."

"Hey, buddy, come on... wake up..."

His eyes flickered open, and he looked at me.

"Cool..." I said.

"Who are you/" he asked.

"Oh no! AMNESIA!"

"Ow... who is she?" he asked Clay. "Is that- Jack!"

"No, that's not Jack," Clay said as Will jumped up. I gigled, and we stood up.

"Well, nice reunion!" I said as everyone looked at me.

"Jack, who is this?" Will asked.

"This is Val, savvy?"

Will nodded.

"Cool," I said. "Your head ok?"

"I'll be fine..."

"Good. Clay! I can't beleive this!"

I hugged him.

"Ooo, you're the best!"

"Yeah, yeah... give it a rest, huh? You're like some overactive Carebear, you know that?"

"Shut up."

Ronie, BJ, and Caroline came up to us.

"Well, what a bunch you make," Caroline said. "Are you girls staying with them?"

"Yeah, sorry, Carline," Ronie said.

"Aw, it's fine!" she said, walking up to Jack. "See ya, cowboy."

She planted one right on his cheek and turned to leave.

"See y'all!"

"Bye!" we called back.

As she returned to the rig and drove off, we just stood there.

"What was that?" Will asked, rounding Jack.

"What?"

"That!"

"What did it look like!"

"It's gonna be a long ride home..." I muttered to Ronie.

She laughed, and we headed for the shiny red convertable. Ooo, shiny...

"Well, back to Bueford Bay we go," I said.

"No way!" Clay said. "We're going to Aunt Clara's!"

"Aunt Clara?" I asked. "Yes!"

"Who's Aunt Clara?" Jack asked.

"Our aunt, duh," I said. "My mom's and his dad's sister!"

"Ah, cousins," Jack said.

"That's gotta be an omen..." Will said.

"Shut up," I said. "To the convertable!"

"Yo ho!" Jack yelled, following me. Soon, we were all running for the car, back to the good old times.

"Yo ho, yo ho! A pirate's life for me!" we yelled.

"Shotgun," Clay yelled.

"Damn you, Clay!" BJ said.

"Haha!"

"I'm driving!" Ronie said.

"God help us..." Jack moaned.

"That's right!" Ronie laughed.
