To Evan, pool time

To Conner, a joke whenever you really need it, true friendship

To Tee, thanks for everything. You're the best

To Dave, the future.

To Sweet Valley High, my footprints are forever on your soil. Clean them.

Road Trip!

Tia Ramirez stuck her head out of the window of the Trent's car, the breeze whipping her hair on her face. She had never felt better in her life, except probably when she was handed her high school diploma. She was free, on her own (well at least for three weeks), with her best friends and her entire life ahead of her. Of course there was the entire heading off to AmeriCorps, leaving-home, leaving-parents, leaving-friends, leaving-Trent, uncertain-future thing to worry about, but Tia was always a Cup-half-full kind of girl.

"ROAD TRIP!" Jade yelled for the umpteenth time since they had left Sweet Valley. Tia laughed and inhaled the crisp air. She couldn't believe it was happening, but it was.

"Hey, Tee, should I just follow Conner, or is he planning to follow me?" Trent asked her uncertainly with a laugh breaking his voice.

"Don't worry, Itinerary Girl to the rescue!" Tia opened the map and the itinerary she and Conner and Liz had printed. "First stop…….drumroll please!" Evan and Andy began pounding on the back of Tia's seat. Hard. Tia giggled. "Okay, so since we're going all the way round to San Francisco to Garden City in Idaho, and then back around to Salt Lake City, then to Los Angeles and then back home, yes, Andy we are going to do that in three weeks so stop making those 'hmm' noises….didn't you guys read the itinerary!"

"No," came the resounding chorus from Trent, Andy, Jade and Evan.

"Okay…" Tia laughed. "Well anyway, our first stop is Lake Merritt in Oakland!"

"Oh how cool," Jade murmured. "Where are we gonna overnight?"

"Okay we have a choice. We can all overnight in the cutest little Bed & Breakfast, or we can all camp out. No separating, we are all sticking together. So, what do you guys want to do?"

"Oh, camp out definitely. Maybe next time we will actually stay in a room." Jade said.

"Yeah, I didn't come on this trip to stay inside." Evan piped up. "A manly-man like me needs the great outdoors to quench my desire for adventure!" Evan began knocking his fists against his chest and bellowing like a wannabe Tarzan. Everyone else began laughing.

"But guys," Tia began when the laughter subsided. "Do you think everyone else will agree to camp out?"

"Who cares?" Jade blurted out. "We're the fun car,"

"Yeah, they can't touch us," Andy said loudly. He turned around to look for Conner's car. When he had them in vision, he lifted both his middle fingers and flashed it at them . "Suckers!" he screamed.

"Asshole!" came Jessica's voice flying back. Andy began laughing. "Whatever," he said, sitting back down. "Let her think she has won. I will so put toothpaste on her face while she is asleep."

"I'll help," Jade said eagerly.
