One hour later

"Are you ever going to talk to us again?"

Silence

"Come on Michonne, don't be like this. We just wanted you to have a good time." Maggie implores.

Silence

"Girl don't do this. This is your weekend and we wanted it to be fun for you. Isn't that what you want?"

"I want to call Mike."

"You're not calling Mike!" they all reply together.

Michonne goes back to staring at the scenery rolling by.

"Michonne, it's been too long since you let loose. It's time to let your hair down, be wild and crazy, (under her breath) like you used to be."

"What exactly does that mean, Drea?"

"Nothing." Sasha jumps in. "It's just that when you started dating Mike, you kind of, well you. What I'm trying to say is…"

"You're not you anymore." Maggie says interrupting Sasha's lame attempts at explaining herself. "You don't smile like you used too. Then you're always with Mike; it's never just the four of us anymore. And you started wearing these weird sweaters."

"What's wrong with my sweaters?"

"Nothing honey, nothing at all. What Maggie's trying to say is you just used to be a little more open. A little more Michonne."

"Yes girl open. And we want you to spend this weekend being as open as possible. Open to possibilities, opportunities, maybe some cute hillbillies." They all burst out laughing. "Really Miche, just take this weekend to forget about everything and just have fun. It's okay to have fun."

"I know. I'm fun I just want to be prepared for what's coming next in life."

"Does that entail sitting at home waiting for Michael while he's off at school doing god-knows-what with god-knows-who?"

"Andrea!"

"What. I'm just saying did you even apply to any colleges?"

"Why does that matter?"

"It matters? Did you?" Andrea doesn't let up.

"You did didn't you. Omg where. Where'd you apply?"

"Look you said you trust me right? This is what I want this is what's best for me maybe one day I will go to college and I don't need to go right now who this is the option I choose."

"And are there really no other options?" Andrea asks again.

"Guys she gave us her answer alright. Tough love Miche, get over your madness cuz you're not calling Mike. Let's have some fun okay. This weekend is ALL. ABOUT. YOU!" Sasha turns on the radio and Mariah Carey starts blasting through the speakers.

Dream lover come rescue me. Take me up take me down, take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately. Won't you please come around 'Cause I wanna share forever with you baaaaaabaaaay

Sasha, Maggie and Andrea start singing along with the radio. Michonne looks off to the side again, watching the ocean whizz by. Maybe she is being too uptight. There's nothing wrong with letting loose a little right? She starts bopping her head to the music and joins in singing with her friends.

I just want someone to belong toooooooo. Everyday, of my life
Always
So come and take me away…..

Another hour later and they're pulling onto the main street of town. People are milling about; smiling, upbeat enjoying the sunshine. Kids are playing up and down the street enjoying their freedom. Cute boys hanging out on the bar patios people-watching, flirting with girls that go by, hoping to catch a cutie.

"It really is beautiful here." Michonne says.

"That's it girl get into the spirit. I knew you'd like it!" Maggie enthusiastically responds.

Michonne gives her a small smile. Her friends are right; she needs to just relax and enjoy herself. Who knows when she'll get to do this again.

"Maggie look there's a dance contest tomorrow night. Get on your dancing shoes."

"Maybe if I find a cute partner. Let's go tonight and check out the talent.

"Sounds like a plan I need to get my thighs wrapped around a hot piece of meat" Andrea says gyrating in the front seat.

"Andrea you you're such a slut." Sasha says.

"And you wish you were me." They all laugh.

A loud rumbling comes up on their right side as a beautiful black Chevy Camaro comes rolling up on their right side. Sleek midnight black exterior with whitewall tires. Chrome shined to perfection.

"Well hot damn if y'all ain't the prettiest chicks on this whole island. Where you headed cuz I got to go there." The driver says as he pokes his head out with a smile at the ladies. His backseat passengers, a young Asian guy and a big looking redhead with a mustache start checking out the girls too.

"Holy mother dick, girl you must be tired cuz you been running through my head all day." The redhead says leaning out of the backseat.

"Are you speaking to me sir?" Sasha says looking at him like he's crazy.

"Damn right miss girl. You can run but you can't hide. That pretty little face will be all on top of mine soon enough." He says with a belly laugh.

The girls bust out laughing while Sasha asks completely affronted. "Oh my god let's get out of here" she says the light turns red and the girls speed off. Not to be outdone, the boys speed up right behind them and the driver keeps pace with Sasha's driving. "Seriously where are y'all going don't leave."

"You have to catch us first hotness." Andrea says. She leans her foot over to the driver side and slams on the gas. "Catch us of you can."

The car starts to take off as the boys get stuck behind some pedestrians who dropped their bags in the street. Before they completely drive off Michonne leans over to see the passenger in the front seat. His face is mostly covered by the drivers movements but she can see his eyes. Bright blue eyes that freeze her in place. She's never seen a blue that color before and it mesmerizes her. Before she can look further the car takes off.

"They were hot." Maggie says.

"Yeah they were. Did you see that driver?. Oh my God I'd definitely do something to him."

"Brutes all of them. That big redheaded thing speaking to me like that."

"Then why were you smiling." Michonne asks grinning at her friend.

Sasha tries to hide her smile. Something about the red headed giant intrigued her.

"I thought the one in the back seat was really cute. I could definitely see him again."

"And what about you Miche? Did you see something you liked? Maggie smiles coyly at her friend.

"I wasn't really looking. But yeah they were kind of cute." She couldn't help but smile to herself as she closes her eyes and sees that deep shade of blue.
