"Charlie, it's been twelve years…We're not going to find him. How many times am I going to have to-"
"I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK! HE'S MY SON AND I'M NOT STOPPING UNTIL I FIND HIM!"
"Charlie-"
"No! Fuck you! You were supposed to help me find him! But now all you do is bitch and complain!"
"Charlie-!"
"WHAT?!"
Smooch.
The red toyota corolla drove down the old small road, going at a good 50 miles per hour. BonBon was filling magazines for his and Renesmee's guns as Renesmee drove the car. There was a peaceful silence in the car until now,
"You're hair's gotten so curly." Renesmee said with a smile.
BonBon smiled as well, "I like it this way."
"It fits you well. Goes well with your big ears."
"Says the fennec fox."
She snickered, "Touché."
BonBon pushed the magazine into the gun, giving a satisfying chank sound as it locked into place. He cocked the gun, loading a bullet into the chamber. He placed the safety on, just to be safe.
"That thing's like your baby, isn't it?"
BonBon set the Beretta M9 down beside him, "So what if it is?"
"Nothin'. I respect your love for it. Just don't start catching feelings for it." She busted out laughing, more than she should be.
"Shut up!" He said with a laugh.
"I'm just messin' with ya." She eased up a bit from the laughing, gaining a bit of seriousness in her voice, "But for real, I won't judge you for anyone, or anything, you fall in love with. Even if it's another boy."
BonBon flicked an ear. "What?"
"Even if you liked another boy…?"
"Yeah, what do you mean?" He tilted his head a bit.
"Not everyone is straight. Instead of a boy liking a girl, a boy can like a boy. Same thing with girls."
"So…Is that normal…?"
"I mean, not really…But it's not uncommon? I guess? I-I just don't think it's really a problem nowadays. It was a huge controversial thing back in the day, but now that the world's gone into the shitter, I don't see a problem with it."
BonBon nodded as he looked away from Renesmee. His head was tilted down as he fidgeted with his hands. He was noticeably uneasy, which caught the glance of Renesmee.
"You okay, kid?"
BonBon shifted in his seat, "Y-Yeah…I'm fine. I just…Never thought of it that way."
Renesmee rubs the back of her head, feeling like she did something wrong. BonBon threaded his fingers through his curly hair. He exhaled and looked out the window, trying to forget about the awkward situation that went down. Renesmee tried to change the topic,
"We should be approaching Prescott soon. Hopefully we can find something other than Biters."
"Another Beretta?!" He jumped with excitement.
Renesmee laughed, "Maybe!"
BonBon clapped his hands together, "Yeah!"
"Dude you really like guns. You'd be a perfect soldier."
He looked at Renesmee. "You think so?"
"Hell yeah! A twelve year old who's grown up killing fucking monsters, shooting guns, stabbing things, learning about weaponry, how to survive, you're a total badass."
BonBon smiled with glee, "Thanks! Don't forget, you taught me almost all of it."
"The keyword there is 'almost.' I didn't teach you everything."
"But-"
"Why can't you ever just take a compliment?" She said with a slight chuckle.
BonBon shrugged, "I don't like to think I'm better than others."
"BonBon, you're a great kid."
"Thanks."
The peaceful silence returned as the car continued down the empty road. BonBon had a small smile as he looked out the window, watching the countryside scenery pass by. The sunshine from dusk was glowing across the land, as well shining through the windows and into the car. Everything had a warm, fuzzy feeling. Somehow it felt…Normal.
The car came to a sudden stop, sending Renesmee and BonBon forwards. Renesmee held onto the steering wheel and used it to force herself to stay in her seat. BonBon launched at the dashboard, but managed to refrain from hitting his head as he let his arms and chest take the impact.
"Sorry!" Renesmee exclaimed, "I-I didn't mean to-"
"It's okay! I'm fine! Really!" He reassured Renesmee as he searched for his Beretta, having heard it fall when the car came to a stop.
"A-Are you sure?"
He found the pistol on the floor and picked it up. "I'm sure."
"Phew." She grabbed her own Walther P99 and opened the car door, "We got a block on the bridge, you wanna help me out here?"
BonBon immediately opened his door and got out of the car, bringing his Beretta with him. Renesmee chuckled as she got out of her side of the car. The two walked over to the old red-painted bridge. A few Biters were on the bridge, but they were blocked by a car on it's side, keeping them stuck on the bridge. Some of the bridge's flooring was breaking, looking old and rickety.
"You shoot the ones on the right, I'll get the ones on the left."
BonBon nodded.
The two took aim with their pistols and shot, sending bullets flying into the skulls of the undead monsters. One by one they dropped dead. For real this time. BonBon shot quick with good accuracy, Renesmee shot a bit slow but with great accuracy.
"Did we get 'em all?" BonBon said with joy in his voice.
"Fuck yeah we did!" Renesmee cheered.
"Fuck yeah!" BonBon chimed in.
Renesmee headed over to the sideways car, BonBon following short behind her. She looked at the car and the bridge, inspecting it to see if there was a way for them to move it.
"Can't we just tow it? Er, pull it out of the way with our car? Like if we tie them with a rope or something!"
Renesmee pondered for a moment, "We got a rope or two in the trunk?"
"I think so. I don't keep track of all the shit we got, that's your job." BonBon snickered.
"Go check the trunk. If there's any rope, get it. We gotta get this old thing off the bridge."
BonBon nodded as he went back to the car. He popped open the trunk and looked inside to search for some rope. There was two thick ropes and one smaller one. He took all three of them and did his best to carry the weight. He closed the trunk and made his way back to Renesmee.
"I got the rope!"
"Great! Hand it over, I'll start tying 'em to this car." He handed the rope to Renesmee. She started to tie the rope to the car, "Hey, BonBon."
"Hm?" BonBon perked his ears up.
"Can you move the car closer? It'll save on the rope length and lower the risk of it snapping."
"What? I can't push a car all the way over here!"
Renesmee chuckled, "I'm saying you can drive it."
BonBon's eyes lit up with excitement, "Really?! I can?!"
"Hell yeah, boy! You know how to work it, right?"
"Yes!" He jumped up with joy.
"Then drive the thing, dammit!"
BonBon squealed as he ran over to the red corolla. He got into the driver's seat and set down his gun. He adjusted the seat so he could reach the gas peddle correctly. The car was already up and running, so all he had to do was keep the steering wheel straight and press the gas!
He put his foot to the gas pedal and pushed down slightly. The car jerked forward and BonBon released his foot. "U-Uh…R-Rookie mistake!" He put his foot back to the pedal and gently pushed down again. The car didn't jerk this time. It crept forward as the wheels spun, moving closer to the bridge and Renesmee.
Little by little BonBon drove the car forward. Finally he got it into position and he got out of the car. He squealed again with joy as he walked over to Renesmee. She had already tied quite a lot of the rope to the car.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" BonBon said happily.
Renesmee smiled, "You're welcome! Now do me a favor and tie the other side of the ropes, to our car."
"Okay."
BonBon did as he was told. He took the other side of the ropes and began tying it to the strongest spots-or at least what he thought were the strongest spots-of the car. It didn't take long until the two finished tying the ropes. Renesmee picked up her gun from the ground and went into the driver's side of their car. BonBon followed her lead and got into the passenger side.
Renesmee exhaled, "Let's hope this works."
She put the car in reverse and placed a foot on the gas. The wheels spun in place, the car on the bridge not wanting to move. Renesmee kept adding more power to the pull on the car. "Come on you son of a bitch!" The car on the bridge gave way, moving off the bridge as Renesmee continued the tug in reverse. Once they had pulled it a fair bit away, Renesmee stopped the car and got out. "Now we untie the ropes."
BonBon once again followed Renesmee's lead and got out. The two went to the ropes and undid their work from a few minutes ago. In a matter of minutes, they managed to untie all the ropes. They hauled them back to the trunk, placed it inside, shut the trunk, and got back into the car. Finally Renesmee and BonBon closed the doors to the car, as they were now going to actually drive.
"Ready BonBon?" Renesmee asked with a high amount of joy in her voice.
"You bet!" He had the same amount of joy in his voice.
"Then let's get going!"
Renesmee set the car into gear and they went off forward, crossing the rickety red bridge and entering the town of Prescott.
