After calming down Summer who had begun to hyperventilate, they all decided to make their way to the closest big city.

Alex- So, we have San Francisco, San Diego, L.A, or um…yeah.

Summer- Been there, done that. We need to go somewhere that's out of California. Hawaii?

Seth- It's tourist season and you just got back from Hawaii.

Summer- but I look cute in a bikini.

Seth- I agree! Hawaii it is!

Marissa- no Seth you're right, it'll be way too crowded.

Alex- Chicago? It's really cool around this time of year. My dad use to take me and my mom there every summer to visit my aunt. From there we can go further east.

Seth- I'm in.

Summer- K

Marissa- Sounds good.

Secretly Marissa was just excited to be spending so much time in a car with Alex.

Seth- So, what do we do til we get there?

Marissa- Well you drive

Summer- We could talk. We have very interesting lives, I'm sure we cac talk until we get to Chicago.

Marissa- yeah…so…

Alex- I say we play 'sex'

Summer- Is that like a talking game?

Summer wanted to stear clear of anything that involved Marissa, Alex and sex.

Alex- You've never played 'sex'?

Seth- Of course, what do you think we're just sheltered New Port kids? No we don't know what 'sex' is.

Alex- Well, you've gotta wait til night to play so never mind.

Summer- why? Whats wrong with playing in the day time?

Alex- Well see…everytime someone sees a car with a busted head light, you call 'sex' and hit the roof of the car. If you are the last one to do this you gotta take off an article of clothing. Shoes and socks don't count.

Summer- so you just have to sit there naked?

Alex- um no… the first two people naked have to have sex.

Summer- What if it's you and Seth?

Alex- It cant be cuz that would be nasty beyond nasty.

Seth- but marissa and summer, now that would be something I would kill to see!

SMACK

Alex- What the hell?

Summer- that's for giving him ideas. You know how he gets!

Marissa- so yeah…talking?

Moments passed, then some more moments passed, then some more.

Summer- Coop! did you gear about the fall line Ralph Lauren is…

Alex and seth liijed at each other in the rear view mirror. Alex then put on her ipod and seth turned up the radio.

It was going to be a long ride to the windy city.
