"Man after two hours of driving every tree looks like the last," Horo wined, "Put some music on or something."

Yoh reached over and turned on the radio, but the only sound that left the dusty speakers was crackling and buzzing.

"Guess we won't be having any music, all I got are C.D's and this thing has a tape deck," Yoh sighed.

Ren reached in the seat cushion and dug around, as the other watched curiously at what he was doing (Even Yoh who should have been watching the road.) Ren managed to pull out whatever he was looking for. "Ah finally I found the thing that kept digging in my ass."

Horo quickly snatched the object out of Ren's hand, "Great it's a cassette tape we can listen to something now. Hope this thing works."

Horo crammed the cassette into the tape deck, every one waited patiently to see if it was going to work. After a few seconds music started to fill the truck.

"Like a virgin touched for the very first time. When your heart beats next to mine. Uh…Something, something, something. Like a virgin," Horo sang happily along with the tape while everyone else in the truck cringed.

"Why did it have to be a old Madonna tape? Why!" Yoh yelled.

"But I like Madonna," Horo replied.

"I know you do, Yoh and I had to listen to that all the way to Izumo and back," Ren groaned holding his fingers in his ears.

After traveling for hours and hours the gang decided to stop at a gas station to eat and refuel the truck.

"Horo could to fill us the truck with gas while I tie down some of the luggage that came loose?" Yoh asked.

"Sure thing captain," Horo replied saluting like a idiot. He looked over at the gas pump and scratched his head. "So many choices for gas, Diesel…he he."

Yoh looked over at him, "What's so funny?"

"Did you ever notice that Lysergs last name sorta sounds like Diesel."

"No."

"Well now you do. That's the reason why you have me around," Horo said smiling.

"To make stupid observation about things?"

Horo huffed loudly, "Stupid they may be, but at least I observe things. Not like you and all those animals you hit on the way here. Green Peace is going to be on your ass after this trip. "

"Hey that one bird flew out in front of me, plus I didn't know it was still splattered all over the grill when that bus load of junior campers passed us."

Horo just shook his head, "Oh well lets just join the others and get something to eat."

When they walked into the diner it smelled strangely of elastic bands and mould. The seats were ripped and made that annoying shhhh noise whenever you sat down, plus you had to remember not to touch the bottom of the table unless you wanted to get a piece of gum stuck to your fingers, or strange disease for that matter. The waitress was a skinny lady that had so much makeup on, that if she tripped and fell she would leave a skid mark.

Anna looked over the menu, "This place has the strangest names for things, like what is Truckers choice special?"

"Something that makes you fart," Yoh replied pouring sugar into his coffee. When he was finished Anna smacked him.

He rubbed his head wincing from the pain, "Ow what was that for."

"Hes right Anna, what else is someone going to do all alone in a truck for hours on end?" Horo said looking up from his kids menu that he was busy colouring on with crayons.

Anna rolled her eyes, "You guys are so immature. I'm going to ask the waitress that some of these things really are."

"Umm I love sugar," Yoh said pouring his fourth packet into his coffee.

"If you put that much sugar in your coffee you're going to get sick?" Ren said watching as Yoh put yet another packet into the cup.

"I bet you I can eat the whole stack on the table and not even feel queasy," Yoh replied crossing his arms in part challenging Ren.

Ren squinted his eyes, "Fine, do it then."

Yoh just sat there with his head resting on the table giggling to himself with a wide stupid grin on his face.

"What happened to Yoh?" Anna asked returning from talking to the waitress.

"He's on a sugar trip." Horo replied, holding in his laugher as best he could.

"How many packets did you let him eat?" She asked.

"I'm not exactly sure, but I can tell you he's one sugar pack away from getting diabetes," Ren said calmly.

"Wow this is funnier then when he ate that whole tube of novocaine, then tried to talk to people but they just kept giving him money because they thought he was some crazy bum that couldn't talk. Man he got like 10 bucks that day." Horo said.

"I don't think so, he has done funnier things," Ren replied.

"Hey Yoh put this peroxide in your hair before you go out shopping with Anna," Ren said throwing Yoh a bottle.

"Why?"

"Just because."

"Ok!"

Anna glared at Ren, "So you're the one that told time to bleach his hair!"

Ren cowered in his seat, "Uh…no."

"What about that other time," Horo said trying to change the subject for Ren's sake.

Flashback, February 3 2003 3:16pm, Asakura residence.

"I wonder if it's possible to toboggan off of your roof and live," Horo casually asked one winter's day.

"There's only one way to find out," Yoh replied.

Ten minutes later…

"Ah, F$k!"

THUD!

"Ow my brain hurts"
