Rain scooted closer to Clyde and laid her head on his shoulder."You ok?"Rain asked.

"Kinda of..(sniff),"he replied.

"Good,"Rain said as ran her finger tips through Clyde's hair. She scooted back to her seat and looked over at Danielle. Danielle looked at Rain and Rain looked forward. Justin turned on the radio and Jake started singing along.

"Hehehe, Jake, what are you doing,"Rain said.

"What does it look like I'm doing,"Jake replied then he whispered,"I'm trying to cheer up Clyde."

"Ok..hee,"Rain said and started singing with Jake very weirdly. Justin caught what they were doing and let out a very high pitch note.

'Idiots,'Danielle thought to her self,'then again they are trying to cheer up Clyde..so maybe...No!' Clyde didn't laugh nor did smile.'Ok..this is getting out of hand,'Danielle thought then with no warning started singing along with 'I won't say I'm in love',"If there's a prize for rotten judgement
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!" Rain and everyone else except Clyde started singing the muses parts,"Who'd ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of." Danielle: No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no Rain, Jake, and Justin: You swoon, you sigh
why deny it, uh-oh Danielle: It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in love
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh Rain, Jake, and Justin: You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad Danielle: No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no Rain, Jake, and Justin: Give up, give in
Check the grin you're in love Danielle: This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love Rain, Jake, and Justin: You're doin flips read our lips
You're in love Danielle: You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it Rain, Jake, and Justin: Girl, don't be proudIt's O.K. you're in love Danielle: Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love

Clyde started laughing and did his silly little grin."Didn't think you'd sing, Danielle,"Clyde said with a chuckle,"Thank You." Danielle looked at him and nodded.

"Good idea, Jake,"Rain whispered.

"We're here!"Justin shouted,"Where are we going, Clyde?"

"To the bank,"Clyde replied. Justin nodded and headed towards the bank. They got out of the jeep and walked inside the bank. Clyde walked up to the counter and started talking to the banker."Ok,"Clyde said as he headed towards them.

"How much did you take out?"Rain asked.

"All of it,"Clyde replied as he padded his two sacks of Gil.

"How much is that?"Jake asked.

"Three billion, four thousand, and five hundred Gil,"he replied.Their jaws dropped and their eyes widened.

"That's alot!"Rain said.

"Well we're going to need it,"Clyde said.

"Yeah, he's right,"Justin said. They left the bank.

"What time is it, Justin?"Clyde asked.

"Three o' clock,"he replied,"We still have a few more hours before night fall, so we can visit one more town."

"Ok, lets go to Rain's town,"Clyde said.

"Ok, then tomorrow we will go to Jake's and Danielle's hometown,"Justin said.

"No!"Danielle and Jake said,"We can't go!"

"Why?"Justin asked.

"I'd get in trouble if I were to go back I was shooed away after...never mind we're not going to my town you here!"Danielle yelled.

"I was to and you can't make me go,"Jake said.

"Ok,"Rain, Clyde, and Justin said with a grin,"We won't go then."

"Phew,"Jake and Danielle sighed. Everyone got into the jeep and headed towards Rain's hometown. The whole way everyone was quite. "Ok we're here,"Justin said. Rain got out and looked around and spotted the hill she used to stand on all the time. She ran over there and stood on the hill quietly. Everyone rushed to her side and saw tears running down her face. Every memory was running through her head and she sat down and curled up into a small ball and her face was against her legs.

Jake put a comforting arm around her and squeezed her to let her know he was there."Jake,"she said shakily,"You were up at the marshes too..am I right?"

"Yeah,"Jake replied.

"Did..did you know a guy named Josh?"Rain asked.

"Yes, he saved my life,"Jake replied.

"He was always the one to help people..me and him used to patrol the town sometimes to make sure it was safe...that was way before we started dating. It was love at first sight we believed...when I was about to tell him my feelings.. that's when he came up to me and told me how he felt. I loved him with all my heart when he and I were together we felt that no one could bring us down...no matter what,"Rain said as she was going down memory lane. She started shaking with sadness. Jake looked at her trying to think of a way to cheer her up, but the way she was feeling now that was impossible. Jake just squeezed her again and she looked up at him and wrapped her arms around him. She cried her eyes out on him and said,"Its all my fault if I was strong enough then I could of prevented this."

"No its not your fault,"Jake said.

"Yes it is,"Rain said.

"No, its not he was just to powerful and you weren't that strong,"Jake replied. Rain quivered and Jake said,"Please stop crying...I hate to see you like this..it hurts to hear you cry."

Rain looked up at him to see him crying, She sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck and he smiled down at her and thought,'Thank you.' Rain pulled away and stood up. Clyde looked at her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders..soon after they all were in a group hug even Danielle was included.

"Thanks guys,"Rain said and she noticed something red by were she used to live. She ran over there and picked it up it was the rose that Josh gave her.'It survived,'Rain thought and ran towards the jeep. She fond a container and she put some water in it and put the rose in it. "Lets set up camp here,"Justin said and got the tent equipment out. They set up the tent and got some sleeping bags.

"Night,"Rain said as she got into her sleeping bag.

"Night,"They all called out to her as they got into there sleeping bags.

Rain was the first one up, she picked up her sleeping bag and opened the back of the jeep and put in there she got some food out and started a fire. Everyone else got up and put there stuff away and the tent and then sat next to the fire. Rain passed food around to everyone and they began eating."Ok, everyone ready to go?"Justin said. Rain nodded and ran towards the jeep.

"Where we going now?"Clyde asked.

"I don't know...maybe we'll drive a different coarse back to my town,"Justin replied.

"Ok,"Rain said with a yawn and tried to get into a comfortable potion.

"Rain, you can lean on me to get comfortable if you want,"Jake suggested.

"Thanks, Jake,"Rain said as she leaned over on him.

Danielle was sitting in front, Clyde was in back with Rain and Jake, and Justin was driving like usual. Danielle looked out the window and asked herself,'I got them all together now, but when's the perfect time?'

Rain sat up looked over at Clyde, he was playing around with some string."What'ca doing Clyde?"Rain asked.

"Nothing really just playing around with this string,"Clyde replied.

"Why?"Rain asked.

"Just to keep my mind on something else,"Clyde replied.

"Oh! Sorry to disturb you,"Rain said.

"Rain, you are so weird,"Clyde said patted her on the head.

"Thank you,"she said and turn forward again with a smile. Danielle looked out the window when she heard the voice,'When are you gonna strike my warrior?'

'At the right time,'Danielle replied.

'When's that?'the voice asked.

'I don't know,'Danielle replied and the voice didn't talk no more.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?"Justin asked Danielle.

"Nothing..why,"Danielle replied.

"I was just wondering,"Justin replied.

"Whatever,"Danielle said and turned back to the window.

"Hey Jake, what was the name of your town anyway?"Justin asked.

"Husta, why?"Jake replied.

"Just wondering,"Justin replied.

"Whatever,"Jake mumbled and fell asleep. Rain leaned back on him and she also fell asleep.

Danielle closed her eyes and thought,'What am I going to do..god I need to stop thinking so much.'

Clyde looked towards Danielle's direction and thought,'what is she thinking about..she always sits there quietly and never talks really..I knew her for four years and she never was this quite..especially when we first met she wouldn't shut up...I know the answer, but I didn't think it would hurt her that bad.'

"What are you staring at?"Danielle asked Clyde.

"Nothing,"Clyde replied.

"Whatever,"Danielle said and turned back around.

"Were going to stop here,"Justin said.

"Where's here?"Rain asked.

"I don't know,"Justin replied and winked at her.

'Right,'Rain thought to herself. They got out of the jeep and stretched.

Jake started shaking and asked,"Why' d you stop here for?"

"Its time to face your past,"Justin replied.
