They were only ten minutes into this road trip, and it was already a disaster. Rin had turned on the GPS to help Luka with the directions, but now it wouldn't shut up.
"In a half a mile, left turn."
Luka groaned in frustration. "It's said that six times!"
"I'm fixing it." Rin said, pounding her fist onto the small screen.
"That's not fixing it!" Luka yelled.
"Percussive maintenance." Rin said, hitting the GPS again.
Luka simply sighed. She was too tired to argue.
Meanwhile in the back seat, Mikuo and Miku were chattering away, annoying Teto to no end. She was now regretting putting her headphones and iPod in her bag. If only she had kept them out, maybe she wouldn't have to listen to the two siblings yakking about random topics. She sighed and blocked her ears, looking out the window.
In front of them, Len had fallen asleep leaning on Oliver's shoulder. This would be fine, Oliver didn't really care, except for the fact that Tei was ready to kill him.
"Len is mine." She hissed.
"I know, I know! Take him!" Oliver whispered back, pushing on Len's shoulder.
"Len's asleep?!" Rin twisted around in her seat and grinned. "This is gonna be awesome." She unbuckled her seat belt, ignoring Luka's protests, and pulled a sharpie out of her pocket.
"I don't think-" Oliver started.
"Shut up, I'm making art." Rin leaned over the seat and uncapped the sharpie, then pulled Len's face closer to her and started to draw on him.
Oliver buried his face in his hands and groaned.
Rin finished and giggled, pushing Len back onto his seat. Tei grabbed him and pulled him closer to her, glaring at Oliver. Rin smiled and slid back around to her own seat.
"You're lucky we didn't get pulled over." Luka muttered as Rin buckled her seat belt again.
"Yeah, but we didn't!" Rin said with a grin. "So no problem!"
"I still have to pee." Kaito said, licking his ice cream come.
"Where did you- oh, whatever. We'll stop soon." Luka said in response, finally taking the turn the gps had been telling her to take for the last few minutes.
"In two miles, right turn."
"I hate this thing." Luka muttered.
"I have to peeee!" Kaito whined.
"SHUT UP!" Luka screamed. "Okay, here's a gas station. You have two minutes." She pulled in and parked, stepping out to fill up the gas tank.
Kaito practically jumped out of the car and ran for the small convenience store. Rin, Oliver, and Miku followed him, going to buy some food for the road. Well, Oliver went mostly to get away from Tei, who seemed to be thinking of the best places to hide his body.
"I gotta pee!" Kaito yelled to the poor cashier, who looked quite frightened.
"U-Um, over there." He jerked his thumb over his shoulder and Kaito ran for the bathroom.
Rin picked up a bag of chips and a soda, pulling some bills out of her pocket. Miku grabbed two packs of gum, while Oliver hid behind a vending machine.
Luka finished with the gas tank and looked back at the store. The other vocaloids were walking out, and it would seem that she wouldn't have to drag Kaito away.
"Get in, we're going!" Luka called, climbing back into the minivan.
"Can I switch seats?" Oliver asked, raising his hand nervously.
"Yeah, Kaito, switch with Oliver." Rin said.
"But I don't wanna!"
"Get in the seat!" Rin yelled, pushing him inside the van and slammed the door.
"Is everyone in?" Luka called back into the car.
There was a chorus of "yeah," and Luka started the car. The noise of the engine woke up Len, who blinked groggily.
"How long did I sleep?" He muttered, looking up.
"Hi Len!" Tei smiled.
"AAAAUUUGH!" Len screamed, pushing himself out of Tei's grip and falling back on Kaito. "OLIVER?! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!"
"I'm not Oliver." Kaito said, licking his ice cream.
"I'm Oliver!" Oliver said, waving at Len from the front seat.
"Oh." Len sighed, settling back into his seat.
Luka took a sharp turn, and Kaito lost his grip on his ice cream.
"My ice cream!" Kaito cried, watching as the chocolate-vanilla swirl soft serve on a cone splatted into Len's lap.
"Are you kidding?!" Len shrieked, looking down at the mess on his shirt and pants.
"Luka, I spilled my ice cream!" Kaito whined.
"I need a change of clothes!" Len yelled.
"We just stopped! Suck it up!" Luka called.
So as Kaito wept over his lost ice cream and Tei mopped Len's shorts with Kaito's scarf, Len sat between them trying to recall how exactly his life had ended up this way.
