"BORN TO BE WIIIIIIIIIIILD!" Ok, now that the Titans are on the road and all, it's time – for another chapter.

Chapter Sixteen: Crash

Click – flash.

Dick and Kori woke up to sounds of silent laughter. They opened their eyes and saw Terra and Gar giggling their heads off while Rachel held a camera.

"Comfy?" she said with a smirk. The two beside her burst out laughing as the two teens on the couch blushed and looked at each other – they had fallen asleep on each other's lap. Then another flash filled the room.

"Here's two more for your scrap-book," Rach said, handing Kori the developing photos.

Kori took them, embarrassed, while Dick blushed crimson.

"You look tired," joked Garfield. "Long night?"

He and Terra cracked up. Kori wished she could disappear beneath the cushions.

"So, tell me Kori," said Terra, "is Dick as big as his name suggests? Or is he a little limp? HA HA!" Dick wanted to shrink to a size of an ant and be crushed under the heel of a boot.

It was day two of the seven-day-long road trip (A/N the trip is not going to take up seven chapters) and they were well outside the city's limits. Victor had driven all night, with help from about six or seven cups of coffee and a Big Mac with a large fry (no one really knows how he pulled the bus through the drive-through).

Dick, searching for any reason to get away from these laughing hyenas he called his friends, walked over to Victor as he had done the previous night and examined his friend. He looked worse than he did the night before, and it was only the second day.

"You ok?"

"I'm fine." He sounded edgy.

"You've been driving all night. Why don't you let me take the wheel?"

"I got it"

"But –"

"I got it!"

Dick jumped slightly at his friends agitation, but he didn't back down. "Wouldn't you at least like a break?"

Vic slowly winced and said "Well, actually, I need to use the bathroom."

Dick smiled.

So, they pulled over and Dick and Victor switched places. Then, Vic rushed to the bathroom as the bus speed down the highway.

Through out the day, Victor and Dick would take turns driving (they were the only ones old enough to drive).

The day had been much like the day before (minus the "trucker mooning") and soon it was nightfall. Dick's eyes were itching.

He looked at the clock-radio and read 11:49.

"Hey, man," said a voice from behind him.

He glanced behind him and saw Victor leaning in the door-way.

"Hey Vic," he yawned.

"Man, you need some rest. I'll take the wheel"

"After driving for 24 hours straight? No, thanks"

"Listen, I got it. You need your rest"

"I can take care of it"

"You really should get some sleep"

"I've got it." He was getting edgy.

"But listen –"

"Look, I can handle it!"

"Uh, Dick…"

"I don't need help!"

"Dick…"

"I think I can drive a bus!"

"DICK!"

"WHAT?"

WHAM!

Dick felt a sensation of whiplash as the airbag inflated, catching his head.

He pushed the airbag aside and looked at the damage. The front end of the bus had partly wrapped itself around a tree. Great, just what I need. Bruce is gonna have a field day.

He turned and saw Vic hoisting himself up. His nose was bleeding slightly.

"You all right?"

He wiped off some of the blood and looked at it.

"Fine"

Dick turned around in his seat and saw the three girls and Garfield in a huge lump of masses on the floor.

"Everyone OK?"

"Define 'OK'," he heard Rach mumble.

"We're good, dude!" Gar said and gave him the "thumbs up" (which was really all Dick could see of him).

As soon as they had untangled themselves, they all went outside to examine the damage.

The tree was somewhat wide and the bus hadn't suffered that much.

"It's not that bad," Vic commented. "I could fix it if I had some tools."

"I've got some with the suitcases," said Dick. "You think you could do it tonight? We've got close to ten days to get there, and I don't want to take any chances."

"No problem. I could do this in two hours, tops. You, in the mean time, get some rest." He smiled. "I've got it covered."

Dick nodded and quietly went to bed.

Ok, this really doesn't foreshadow any thing or that kind of stuff. This chapter was just a filler. And I needed to make it interesting, so… yeah. Please R&R!

Luv ya
