We stopped the car. Then turned to look at a deranged man wearing a cowboy hat and with a gun and the cheesest smirk on his face. More cheesier than Kalim's smirks at a woman. Misfortune 4 began to unfold like a hankerchief.

"I thought you were gonna be my friend," he said shooting.

All the shots he used missed us as I used my Mana to protect us. He was getting mad.

"We don't make friends with lunitics especially ones like you," I replied back.

He shot another bullet. It was so quick that I didn't use my Mana aginst it but it just missed my left arm. Kalim was so shocked at the sight he fainted. It was just me and Hedgehog.

"For years I was bullied at school for liking animals," Hedgehog began.

"Hey! I like animals too!"

"I know they are so cute. I always loved Hedgehogs and Squrrils. They totally rocked! Wait... a second you are trying to be my friend so I won't kill you!"

"Ok, go on explaining before you kill me and my friend here," I said as I folded my arms.

Hedgehog grinned "Thank you. No one ever took me seriously. I was always alone reading my animal stories. You know ones like dogs, cats and horses." Hedgehog began to weep.

I looked at him weirdly. He was just a complete weirdo who loved animals and was looking for a friend. I felt sorry for him. Though I don't know if he was joking or not...

I started to red with embarressement. Then he decided to turn on me.

"Hey! You want me to spill my feelings out so I will spare your life. Well, fat chance, blondie." He gets his gun out.

"I have dark hair," I said looking at my hair.

He points his gun at me smirking "Whatever."

His fingers were moving slowly trying to pull the trigger. He was shaking and I was just looking at him. I decided to protect myself using my Mana.

Then all of a sudden. Mrs Smith came in her car and knocked Hedgehog out cold. The old lady has saved me from a animal lovin' maniac.

"Where's Kalim? I baked him home-made cookies," said Mrs Smith.

I went down on my knees. "THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"

Mrs Smith looked down at the ground and saw Hedgehog on the ground. He didn't die. He was knocked out cold. Kalim woke up when he smelled the cookies.

"Grannie!" he cried out.

"She isn't your grandmother," I said being serious.

Kalim walked out of the car and went over to Mrs Smith's car. He stuffed himself with the cookies. I looked at him oldly. Mrs Smith looked at me.

"You can have some too, young man," she called over to me.

Back on the Highway. We were driving around for hours. Kalim kept reading the big advertisement boards. They were all advertising a muesum. The Muesum of Interesting Things. Or M.I.T. Could've come up with a better name.

Anyway as time went by, Kalim was keen to go to the Muesum.

"Sliva, can we go to M.I.T?" Kalim asked.

"No."

He kept begging until I said yes which was after 4 plea bargains.

So we went to the Muesum. Though we didn't have an enough money. Yes! I was so happy until Mrs Smith turned up and decided to pay us in. Kalim was happy with joy more than Hilray Duff is on a rainy day which sickened me...

"Yeah! We got into M.I.T!" Kalim cheered.

I wasn't smiling. I was reading the leaflet. It showed a good amount of history behind the weird things we were going to see. The tour guide came. She was this small looking girl who looked like Christina Agulirea in her innocent days before Moulin Rouge.

"Hi everyone! My name is Shelly! I am going to be your tourguide for the time you are here. So lets start the tour!" she announced to everyone.

I had found Kalim's soul mate.

We went with her to see a Panda playing the piano. Everyone was amazed how a Panda can do such things. I wasn't b'coz there is this thing called Talent that I am sure everyone has even all you following my road trip.

"This is Faye. Our Panda who is playing the piano," Shelly introduced.

Mrs Smith got her glasses on and looked at the Panda. "Can she play the song the song what a girl wants by Christina Agulirea?"

The Panda begins to play 'What a girl wants' and Mrs Smith starts to sing. Changing the words. Lawyers of Miss Agulirea, we are sorry!

Mrs Smith: I wanna thank you for helping me get on that bull
You did wit' a smile
While I was riding it
I figured it out
I am too old to be riding this
I rode it b'coz
I didn't want my grandchildren thinking I was old

What an old lady wants
What an old lady needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly
What an old lady wants
What an lady needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for being there for me unlike Sliva
Yes Yes

Then the song was over and we went to see the World's largest ball of wool. There was 20 signs saying no cats allowed. Oh yeah! Like a cat was gonna come and play on it.

Kalim and I stayed behind and kept looking at the wool. Kalim was interested in it. Though I wasn't but I still stayed to keep my friend company.

I was too busy reading the leaflet when Misfortune number 5 striked. Kalim pretended to be a cat for a joke and the large ball of wool started to roll. We ran for it.

"AHHH!" We screamed.

Mrs Smith was coming outta the toilets when she got ran over by the large ball of wool.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" I raged.

"I thought it would be funny!" Kalim yelled back.

It was like Indinna Jones running from the boulder. It is so original that everyone copies it. But only it was a reality for us instead and that stinked.

Back on the Highway. We were driving to Canon City. We were nearly at Denver and just in time for the Arts Festival. Then my stomach rumbles I really needed some food badly.
