Hey, this is my second RFR story. I hope everyone likes it!

Disclaimer: I don't own RFR at all. If I did do you think that I would be writing this story? No, I would be continuing the series and Travis would still be in Roscoe, not headed off to Hong Kong!

Now, without further adue, here is the first chapter!

It was eight o'clock on a monday morning. In only a few minutes I will have embarked on the most exciting trip of my life. The summer of 2006 held so much for my friends and I, and we were ready to except whatever came our way.

"Come on, Amber! Hurry up! We have to be on the road by 8:30!" My cousin, Ray Brennan exclaimed.

"Okay already! I'm comming." I replied.

Me, my cousin, Ray, and Ray's friends, Lily, Robbie, and Travis were going on a road trip to the states. Where in the states? Austin, Texas. Why there? That's where one of the auditions for American Idol was being held. I had decided that I was going to audition. All I needed was a job and permission from my parents, which were surprisingly easy to get.

Two months of working to save up money for the trip finaly paid off as we zoomed down the highway in Ray's black Ford F150 truck. I couldn't wait to get there, but the trip would be a long one. The way Ray had it planned out, we wouldn't reach Austin for 3 days! But Ray's friend, Travis said that if we didn't stop very much, we would make it in a day and a half.

"So, Amber, have you decided on your audition song yet?" Lily asked.

"Nope, not yet, I guess I'll just wait until I get to Austin and just wing it from there." I replied.

"Well, I'm sure that what ever you pick will sound great." Robbie spoke up.

"I'm hungry!"Ray exclaimed. "Can we stop and get some food?"

"Ray, you just ate an hour ago!" I said as I handed Ray a cany bar. "This will have to do until we stop for lunch."

Ray un-wrapped the snickers bar and practically swallowed it whole. We were lucky that Ray didn't kill us when he took both hands off of the wheel.

I was sitting in the back of the extended cab truck in the middle with Robbie on one side and Travis on the other. Robbie had put his head-phones on and was trying to sleep. Travis was online on his white laptop computer.

"So, wanna bet ten dollars that Ray runs us off the road before his driving time is up?" I asked.

"I don't have to bet, I know he will." Travis replied.

"Yeah." I said.

"So, are you nervous about the auditions?"

"A little, but I think that I'll do well." I replied.

"Your very optomistic, that's a good thing." Travis stated.

I smiled. Travis was realy nice. I had only met him two weeks before the trip, but we already had a friendship that would never be broken. Some people, even Ray, said that Travis was a bit strange, but they didn't know the real Travis. They didn't want to know the real Travis.

"Thank you." I said.

Travis and I continued talking for about three hours. What many didn't know was that Travis had a sense of humor. There were many times that he made me laugh. I loved getting to know him more!

Well, there it is! It's probably short, but I'll try to make the other chapters longer! Please R&R!
