"Can we stop soon?" Len whined from the back seat, crushed between Kaito and Tei. "I just want to sleep."
"Yeah, sure. There's a motel next exit." Luka replied sleepily, turning the van off the highway and reading a sign pointing in the motel's direction. "Make sure no one's asleep, okay?"
"OLIVEEER!" Rin screamed, shaking his shoulder rapidly.
"AUGH! I JUST WANTED TO SLEEP!" Oliver shrieked, snapping his eyes open.
"We're stopping at a hotel soon." Rin said with a huge grin.
"You woke me up to tell me I could sleep?" He groaned.
"Yep!"
"I hate this." Oliver muttered, taking off his hat and letting James hop onto his shoulder.
Two rows behind them, Miku and Mikuo had ceased talking and were trying to get Teto's attention. "Teto! Teto, oh god, have you gone deaf?!" Miku screamed, not noticing the red earbuds in her ears.
"What should we do?!" Mikuo cried.
"Luka!" Miku cried. "Teto's gone deaf! She can't hear us!"
"What?" Luka called back.
"Oh god, it's infected Luka too!" Mikuo screamed, using his tie to cover his mouth and nose like some sort of air filter.
"Teto's gone deaf?!" Rin called back from the front seat. "Try screaming really loudly!"
"AAAAGGGHHH!" Miku screamed right at Teto's face. She didn't react. "It didn't work!"
"Oh god!" Rin cried. "Panic! Panic! Everyone panic!"
Pandemonium erupted in the van. Tei screamed and tried to defend Len, which involved pulling him into a hug and almost suffocating him. Kaito threw his ice cream out the window, screaming "at least you'll survive!"
Mikuo and Miku were pressed against the wall opposite Teto, desperate not to catch the mysterious deafening disease.
"Calm down!" Luka yelled. "Does she have-?!"
"I will save us all!" Kaito screamed, unbuckling his seat belt, leaning forward and grabbing the steering wheel.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS?!" Luka screamed, slapping at his hands and trying to take the wheel back.
"Let go!" Rin butt in, also grabbing onto the wheel. "I've got this!"
"Panic! Panic!" Miku and Mikuo screamed in unison.
"I will defend you with my life, Len!" Tei cried, clinging onto Len like he was a piece of driftwood in the middle of an ocean.
"Tei… Can't… Breathe…" Len managed to gasp, squirming in her ridiculously tight grip.
"I'm so sorry, Len!" Tei responded, loosening her hold on the blond a bit.
The van was swerving all over the road. It was a miracle the trailer was still holding on.
Finally, Teto pulled out her earbud. "WHAT THE BAGUETTES IS HAPPENING?!" She screamed, clinging to her seat for dear life.
"Teto! Your hearing is back!" Miku called over the screaming.
"I was just listening to music!" Teto cried.
"I TRIED TO TELL YOU!" Luka screamed, still battling for the steering wheel with Rin and Kaito. "SIT DOWN! WE'RE GONNA CRASH AT THIS RATE!"
"Let go of the steering wheel, moron!" Rin yelled at Kaito.
"I"M TRYING TO SAVE US!"
"YOU'RE GONNA GET US ALL KILLED!" Luka exclaimed, twisting the steering wheel just in time to make the right turn.
Oliver had gone as white as a sheet, holding onto the door with both hands. James was nestled under his hat. Unfortunately, when they took the right turn, his hat figuratively flew off and James came literally flying out.
"BIIIRD!" Kaito screamed, falling forward and grabbing at the gear shift.
"DON'T-!"
The van suddenly jolted into reverse, sending the vocaloids over a ledge on the side of the road. Everyone screamed as the van tumbled downwards before finally coming to a stop, right side up. There was a beat, and then the airbags went off.
"I hate you all!" Luka screamed into her airbag.
"Luka, don't put your face in that. You'll suffocate." Rin said calmly, already having recovered from the tumble.
"Why didn't the air bags go off when we were falling?!" Oliver cried, still holding onto the door for dear life.
"Because this car is crap!" Luka screamed. "Where did you guys even get it?!"
"Stole it from our neighbors." RIn shrugged.
Luka let out a scream of frustration and punched the airbag.
"Now what?" Asked Tei, still holding onto Len, who looked mildly uncomfortable, but was putting up with it, probably because he had just used Tei as an airbag.
"Well, the motel isn't a long ways away…" Rin said. "It shouldn't be too hard to climb the ledge! Get the essentials, we'll come back in the morning and find a new ride."
"Why don't we call the police?" Teto asked.
"Did you miss the bit where I said we stole the car?"
"Oh."
"We'll just get a new one. Mikuo, you can pull that off, right?" Rin called to the backseat.
Mikuo flashed her a thumbs up while rooting through the luggage.
"Great! Let's get going!" Rin said with a huge smile. The sane people in the car looked at her as if she was crazy, which she was.
"How long is the walk?" Kaito asked, still splayed out over the front seat and licking an ice cream cone.
"Only a few minutes, don't complain." Rin replied, scooting past Oliver and opening the car door. "Let's get going!"
Oh god I am so sorry
I kind of forgot this fanfiction existed for a while until I checked my email… Oops. Then I got super busy because parents and Lowes, and then I got writer's block, so I used the same strategy I did last time- put on annoying music and force myself to write. I'm on my 31st repeat of The Gummy Bear Song because I'm a normal person.
So yeah, I'm sorry that I abandoned this for a couple days. I won't do it again!
Thank you to all the reviewers, and thank you for reading!
