Road Trip


Disclaimer: I own nothing that belongs to the covenant, just my OC Lisa.

Hey, this is the last chapter of my short story that I promised to get out, figured I'd end on a laugh ^^!.


Lisa sighed softly as she woke in the morning, groaning as he ankle throbbed along with her head still. Miraculously her knees felt almost one hundred percent better after Reid had wrapped them up in a bandage, but nonetheless he had told her to keep the bandage on for a couple days. In fact, he had seemed so adamant about it that Lisa couldn't help feeling suspicious, but didn't question. She smiled, remembering how he had laid with her as she fell asleep, up until someone had called him on the phone. Lisa frowned slightly as she tried to remember who it was; though she was pretty sure she heard Caleb's name being said a few times during the conversation along with 'Oh fearless leader', and 'golden boy'.

During her thought process RJ had managed to climb up onto her air mattress, and laid himself down beside her where Reid had been laying for the short time last night, and he started licking her face. Lisa giggled as she was brought out of her thoughts by the warm ticklish sensation, patting his head.

"I'm alright now, boy." Lisa giggled again as she scratched his ears, and he made a whining sound, as if to ask 'are you sure?'. Lisa nodded to him as she smiled, and he seemed to smile back, before turning around and slipping out of the small hole in her tent door, barking at something Lisa couldn't see.

"She up, boy?" Reid's voice drifted through the campsite, and Lisa could also distantly hear the sound of bacon popping and eggs sizzling over their fire. Lisa smiled as she threw off her covers. "Don't even think about getting up Leese!" Reid's voice cut her off just as her feet had planted themselves on the ground beside the mattress and she groaned, flopping back down into it.

"No!" She whined pathetically as she grabbed her pillow then, throwing it over her face as she sighed.

"Yes!" Reid mocked her as he smirked slightly, laughing. "You're staying in bed and off of that ankle till tomorrow."

"But that's when we go home!" Lisa frowned as she sat up then, hearing the zipper of her tent being open as Reid came in, three plates of food. RJ followed Reid into the tent as he looked up at the third plate of food with love in his eyes.

"We can always come back." Reid sighed as he sat down, handing Lisa her plate, before laying the third plate down for the dog. Lisa, who had been in the middle of eating her strip of beacon, looked at Reid wide eyed.

"You're not feeding that to RJ." Lisa frowned as she looked at him, then RJ who had already started to lap up his eggs.

"Why not? RJ's a growing boy." Reid frowned as he dug into his own eggs then, looking to RJ and smirking as he patted the puppy on the head.

"That'll make him sick!" Lisa frowned, trying to reach for the plate to pull it away, before Reid grabbed her wrist with his open hand.

"Let RJ be, he'll be fine." Reid frowned as he gently pushed Lisa back, smirking slightly. "I think I know what's best for him."

"And you think I don't? I've had more puppies then you have." Lisa frowned as she shook her head. "He'll get sick from eating that!"

"Listen, if he does then I'll personally clean it up." Reid sighed as he continued to eat. "Now eat Lisa."

"If he pukes in my tent we're switching." Lisa frowned, before eating more of her beacon.

"Wonderful breakfast talk, dear." Reid quipped sarcastically, but continued eating anyway.

"Who's the one that picked their nose during my family's Christmas dinner?" Silence. "Thought so." Lisa smirked as she shook her head. "So, are you going to tell me where Dr. Reid came from last night?"

"First of all it would be Dr. Garwin." Reid sighed softly as he started in on his beacon, setting his plate down on the floor. "And I want to go through medical school, not law."

"That's great!" Lisa smiled, before frowning as she noticed how depressed he looked. "Isn't it?" She asked then, as Reid shook his head.

"My Dad has his heart set on me going to Harvard." Reid frowned as he ran his hand through his hair. "If I go to Medical school...." He trailed off, sighing again as he shook his head. "There goes my Dad's dream down the drain."

"Reid, this is your life, your dreams." Lisa frowned slightly as she reached across then, taking his hand in her's gently. "Your Dad is just going to have to accept that you need to run your own course." Reid snorted at that, but smiled appreciatively.

"Has anyone ever told you that you mark an extreme resemblance to a self help book?" Reid smirked as Lisa laughed slightly. "And my Mother." Reid gave a genuine smile then as Lisa smiled softly. It was one of their rare moment; before the look of mock horror spread across his features. "Oh god, I just realized that I'm dating my Mom!" He smirked then as he moved his plate to the side, moving in front of her as he gently took her's from her, setting it beside his. "At least she's a hot Mom." He smirked, leaning in and nibbling on her ear slightly.

"You're sick, Reid!" Lisa giggled as she blushed slightly, before it was cut off as he lips crashed onto her's. She smiled into the kiss as she ran her fingers through his hair, hearing him groan as she did. Both of them, though, broke the kiss as they heard a distinct gagging noise coming from behind them. Reid frowned as he turned around, and Lisa groaned, seeing the pile of puppy puke in the middle of her tent, and then they both groaned together.

"RJ!"


Lisa sighed softly as she walked back from the showers the next morning, feeling incredibly refreshed. She couldn't help smirking as she saw that Reid still hadn't managed to make it out of bed yet, and opted first for hanging up a drying line so she could throw his blankets and mattress out to dry in the morning and afternoon sun. So she set to work, doing that for an hour, before she decided it was time to get Reid up for good. She giggled evilly as she walked back to the car, digging through her duffle bag in the back as she smirked, producing an air horn. Lisa had bought it specially for occasions such as these, and she was anxious to use it.

She could hardly keep her laughter contained as she snuck into the tent then, tip toeing her way to the bed and kneeling beside it. Lisa smirked as she held the air horn up to his ear, her finger about to push down on the button before-

"Push that button and you die." Reid groaned, his eyes still closed and facing away from her as Lisa's eyes widened in disbelief. How had he known? She frowned, as if in thought, before smirking.

And pressing the button anyway.

After all, an air horn shouldn't go to waste, should it?

"Jesus Christ!" Reid growled as he jumped, his hand reaching up to his ear as Lisa was in a fit of laughter.

"Not quite!" She smirked, before screaming slightly as she dodged his arms that were trying to hook around her.

"Come back here!" Reid growled as she stumbled out of the tent then, smirking as she turned around and looked back to the entrance. Reid's head poked out in all it's messy blonde glory as his face held a scowl.

"I swear to god I'm going to kill-" Reid tripped over the small flap of the tent on the ground, groaning as he fell and Lisa found herself in stitches of laughter, holding her sides.

The perfect way to end their camping trip.
