"And then, the guy just backs his truck off a cliff...Dude didn't know how to drive..." Trent finished up the story that he was telling as he, his-band, Beavis and Deidra all sat around the large bonfire with him.
"So what happened to him?" Deidra questioned after an awkward moment of silence.
"To who?" Trent asked nonchalantly.
"To the truck-driver?!" Deidra reminded in an irritated-tone.
"I dunno; it's not like I knew the guy..." Trent replied with a shrug, provoking a groan of frustration from Deidra and a small snicker from Beavis.
"That's the most, ridiculous story I've ever..." Deidra began when she suddenly cupped a hand over her mouth and ran over to the nearby bushes to vomit.
"Deidra!" Beavis exclaimed in concern as he stood up from the log he was sitting on.
"Whoa, dude; what's up with her?" Jesse asked out of concern.
"I don't like...know...Mm-heh-heh...She's got like...the Stomach-Flu or somethin'...Hm-hm-heh..." Beavis worriedly explained.
"Aw, that's too bad, man...Well, me and the band were about to hop in the R.V. and head over to the nearest Maxi-Mart to pick up some snacks and drinks; you two could join us and we could pick up some medicine for your old lady if ya want..." Trent offered.
"Yeah! Yeah! Good idea! Hm-hm-heh!" Beavis eagerly agreed, before rushing over to his girlfriend's aid.
"Hey babe; c'mon! Heh-heh! Trent's gonna take us to the store where we can like...get pills for your stomach or somethin'...Hm-hm-heh!" Beavis informed his hunched-over girlfriend as he kneeled down next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"T-That's okay; you can go on without me..." Deidra groggily pouted as she still did not trust this odd, new group of people they had just recently encountered.
"I'm not leavin' ya here, by yourself! Heh-heh-heh!" Beavis insisted, not wanting to leave his sickly girlfriend out in the middle of the woods, by herself as he forcefully grabbed ahold of her arm and pulled her into Trent's R.V. Once Beavis had made sure that he and Deidra were both safely strapped in and Nicholas and Jesse had climbed into the vehicle as well, Trent climbed into the driver's seat and started up his R.V. when Nicholas suddenly noticed that someone was missing.
"Wait, where's Max?!" Nicholas piped up as everyone began to search for their bald-headed companion.
"There he is! Heh-heh!" Beavis giggled as he stuck his head out of his window and pointed up to the roof of the R.V. where Max was comfortably resting.
"Max, ya sure ya wanna ride up there, buddy?" Trent questioned skeptically.
"Yeah, man..." Max nonchalauntly replied.
"Alright then..." Trent shrugged, before driving away from their camp site and down the nearest-road. As Trent drove along the road, in search of a Maxi-Mart, Jesse and Nicholas tuned their instruments, Deidra rested in her seat in an attempt to sooth her nausea and Beavis just kept his head sticking out of his window, like a dog. As Beavis enjoyed the feeling of the cool-wind blowing against his face and through his blond-curls, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. The blond turned to fully look at what he had spotted only to see Max flailing from the top of the R.V. like a paper-bag, in the wind and tumbling into a ditch, on the side of the road.
"Hey, Trent...Heh-heh...Look...Hm-hm-heh..." Beavis snickered with a small smirk as he pointed to the window with his thumb.
Trent turned his head to glance out of his window with a small, laid-back smile as he noticed his friend, Max standing on the side of the road. He then turned his attention back to the road ahead of him but his eyes soon widened as what had just happened had finally begun to register within his mind. Trent was quick to turn around as he traveled back in the direction that they had come from to retrieve his friend.
"I told you it wasn't safe to ride up there!" Nicolas scolded as Max now had a large cut on his lip that Jesse was attempting to treat while Beavis merely pointed and laughed at his misfortune.
"It's not funny...Can't you see he's hurt?!" Trent growled in disapproval, temporarily putting a stop to the blond's laughter but then Trent soon began to crack a smile of his own as he and Beavis immediately burst into laughter once again. Seeing Max fall from the top of Trent's R.V. reminded Beavis of that time that he and Butthead had found that old, tractor-tire and how they would push each other down steep hills in it. Though watching Butthead tumble down all of those hills, in a large-tire may have been comical at the time, Beavis now felt a twinge of sadness at the memory as his laughter had suddenly ceased.
"Are you okay, Beavis?" Deidra asked out of concern for her boyfriend.
"Yeah...Heh-heh...I just breathed hot air...Hm-hm-heh..." Beavis lied with a somber-tone, not being the kind of person to open up to others about how he was feeling with ease.
"Then let's get this show on the road!" Trent cheered upon hearing that Beavis was feeling well. The sound of vehicles driving along the bumpy road filled the R.V. as Trent fumbled with the R.V.'s radio-settings, in search of a good, instrumental song for him and his band to make up lyrics to for practice. After a while, Trent had finally come across an instrumental, only, banjo song that he and his band would often sing along to when they would go on their nightly drives to the Maxi-Mart.
"Come on, guys! You know this one!" Trent called out to his band.
"Hot digity!" Nicholas cheered in excitement.
"Woo-hoo!" Trent joined in on Nicholas' cheers.
"Yep..." Max nonchalantly replied with a small smirk.
"We've traveld these roads for generations, inspired by M.T.V. videos! We sing our song across the World-wide nation, from Lawndale and beyond!" Trent began the song as Beavis nodded his head along to the rhythm, much to Deidra's disapproval.
"Yep..." Max once again chimed in, in a deadpan-tone.
"We're Mystik together, Mystik forever! We're a band but so much mo-ore!" Trent, Jesse, Max and Nicholas all sang as they got out of the R.V. and danced in front of it while it slowly traveled down the road.
"No matter what comes, we will face the weather! We're Mystik to the core!" They continued their song as Beavis unsteadily bounced along the top of the R.V. It was not a hard task for the band to convince Beavis to ride on the top of the R.V. for the practice-song as the blond was known for his gullibility and reckless-decisions. Beavis soon regretted said-decision, however when it had begun to rain, soaking the blond, completely until his girlfriend, Deidra leaned out of her window to hold an umbrella up, over her boyfriend's head, provoking a sweet, happy smile from him.
"Yep..." Max nonchalantly chimed in once again.
"There's no place that I'd rather be than traveling with my family! People around come to join and see as we sing out across the laaaannnnd!" Nicholas sang from his open-window as both he and Beavis nodded their heads along to the rhythm.
"We're Mystik together, Mystik forever! We're a band but so much mo-ore! No matter what comes, we will face the weather! We're Mystik to the core!" Trent, Jesse, Max and Nicholas all sang as they once again danced in front of their slowly, moving R.V.
The storm's strong winds nearly blew Beavis from the top of the R.V. but Deidra was quick to grab ahold of his ankle and pull him back inside of the R.V. through her open-window.
"Yep..." Max snickered at Beavis' dilema, earning a glare from Deidra.
"We're peas in a pod, we're thick as thieves!" Jesse sang as he, Nicholas and Beavis all poked their heads out from underneath the large blanket that Trent kept on the R.V.'s couch.
"Whatever cliche you throw at me!" Jesse continued as Beavis stuck out his tongue and wiggled it in a fashion, similar to Kizz.
"We're here for each other through thick and thin! You're always welcome with your Rock and Roll kin!" Jesse finished his solo, before gesturing for Beavis to sing next.
"Wee! You're more fun than the color, blue or balloons floatin' over your favorite food! This band's bond puts me in a good mood as we party across this laaaannnnnd!" Beavis happily joined in as he released a handful of balloons from his open-window.
"We're Mystik together, Mystik forever! We're a band but so much mo-ore! No matter what comes, we will face the weather! We're Mystik to the core!" The band sang once again, only with Beavis singing along with them this time as the blond danced across their paths while they danced in front of the slowly, moving R.V.
"I buried Paul!" Beavis cheered enthusiastically.
"Yep..." Max ended the song. Once the boys had finished their song, Trent had suddenly slammed on the R.V.'s breaks when he had noticed a familiar, ginger face out of the corner of his eye.
"Hey! What did you do that for?!" Deidra complained as the sudden jolt from Trent slamming on his breaks had only made her nausea even worse than it already was.
"Upchuck...What's that freak doin' here?!" Trent growled darkly as he watched the ginger, known as Upchuck stare down at a sick-Chihuahua and write something down on a notepad he was carrying with him.
"Upchuck? Heh-heh! Who's that? Hm-hm-heh!" Beavis questioned as he leaned in toward the window to see who Trent was looking at.
"Just some ginger-dork that picks on my sister and her friend...I thought if we went on tour in New Mexico, that we could get away from the loser for a couple of weeks but here he is, bein' a weirdo, as usual..." Trent growled.
"Yeah, he's the weirdo..." Deidra groaned with a roll of her eyes.
"Oh, heh-heh! Wanna mess with him? Hm-hm-heh!" Beavis snickered mischievously.
"What'd ya have in mind, blondy?" Trent smirked. Beavis reached into his pocket to retrieve his lighter along with a few firecrackers. Trent nodded in approval, provoking the blond to light the firecrackers and throw them on the ground, near Upchuck. The sick-Chihuahua that Upchuck and been observing had ran off in the opposite-direction once the firecrackers had begun to explode. Trent, Beavis, Jesse and Max all laughed at Upchuck's dilemma as the ginger-haired boy began to dance in place until one of the firecrackers had lit the poor-boy on fire.
"Oh crap! Go man, go!" Beavis shouted as he grabbed Trent's shoulders and began to shake him frantically. Trent was quick to slam his foot onto the gas-peddle, pinning it to the floor as the R.V. began to carry them down the road at a great speed.
"I can't believe you lit him on fire!" Nicholas exclaimed in disbelief once they had finally arrived at the nearest Maxi-Mart.
"Yeah, heh-heh! Me neither...Hm-hm-heh! Stuff like that happens to me a lot...Hm-hm-heh!" Beavis explained with a sigh of defeat.
"That was awesome! You're alright, blondy!" Trent cheered, before flashing Beavis a smirk of approval.
"Really? Heh-heh!" Beavis perked up, appearing touched by the band leader's full-acceptance of him.
"Yeah, man! That was sick!" Trent confirmed.
"Thanks, man! Heh-heh!" Beavis grinned excitedly. He was was happy to be accepted by Trent and his band but setting Upchuck on fire had reminded him of how he and Butthead used to tie firecrackers to bugs and blow them up. These memories now saddened Beavis too, giving him an empty, sinking feeling.
"Beavis? Are you okay?" Deidra questioned her boyfriend's wellbeing once again.
"Yeah! Heh-heh! I just hope we don't like...get in trouble and stuff Hm-hm-heh!" Beavis lied, in a nervous-tone that helped make his lie more convincing to the others.
"Can't get caught if we have an alibi..." Trent smirked, before the group exited the R.V. and entered the Maxi-Mart. When the boys had entered the Maxi-Mart, they had immediately began to raid the isles for snacks and drinks in a loud, obnoxious fashion while Deidra on the other hand, had begun to eyeball the doughnuts hungrily. Though she were nauseous a minute ago, she was strangely enough starving as well.
"It's crazy; in the morning, I puke like a whale and at night, I eat like a pig!" Deidra overheard some woman exclaim to her friend. She turned to view the source of the voice and was horrified to see two pregnant women walking her way.
"I know; it's not easy being pregnant..." The other woman replied to her friend. Deidra glanced over to the isle that was behind her, where the pregnancy tests were. She and Beavis definitely did not use protection but could she really be pregnant? Deidra removed one of the pregnancy tests from its box and snuck into the bathroom with it. She wanted to take a test just to be sure.
