Carlos' POV
It was my turn to drive, because it was late. We were all going to stop at a motel or something, but I told them I could stay up late. And it was true; I usually stayed up most – or all – of the night. Anyway, our plane left around lunch tomorrow, so it was our best bet.
When we'd gotten to the town the airport was in, I pulled up to a skanky motel, which, unfortunately, was the only one I could find.
I woke everyone up, except for Alex, who turns out to be a REALLY sound sleeper. So we left him in the car.
After we got the rooms and went in them, everyone went to sleep, except for me. I wasn't much of a sleeper.
The next morning I was surprised to find that Rose was dressed before I was. Once we'd gotten everyone up, we went to the car.
Alex was still asleep.
"Did you slip sleeping potion ion his food?" Rose accused Matt, who was not-so-gently poking Alex in the face.
"Who, me? Nooooooooooooo. Actually, I really didn't. He sleeps like a log." After sufficient pushing, he was awake, and we were on the road, with Stefani driving. I was a little surprised, because I thought she was fifteen, but she said she wasn't and any way, what did it matter, "we do more dangerous stuff everyday". I agreed, so I figured I'd let her drive.
Besides, it was a five minute drive. The worst she could do was cause a large wreck, right?
Luckily, we made it to the airport in one piece. I did notice that Matt just kept getting more and more nervous.
But anyway, we had two hours to spare, so we go some outrageously priced meals and then went to a few stores. The first one we went to was a clothing store. Luckily, none of the girls were that into clothes, so we were only there fore five-ish minutes.
The next was a bookstore, which took much longer. Turns out Rose, and more surprisingly, Matt, both like to read. They had a "heated" discussion about which books were better, Perry Johansson or Jerry Totter.
That took about a half an hour.
Then we went to a novelty shop, filled with lip-gloss, mugs, and prank jokes. You can guess which one of the three Matt was most into.
The stuff was actually funny – fake vomit, whoopee cushions, and all the normal novelty stuff. I didn't really understand why they sold it though. I mean, who takes fake vomit onto an airplane?
Apparently Matt, because he bought three bags full. He also bought a weird egg shape lip gloss.
"For you, milady." He say, handing it to Rose, "The finest lip-gloss ever to be named after your mother. Probably the only, too." She just scowled and snatched it from his hand.
"They like each other, you know." Stefani said, surprising me. I hadn't known she was there. "And how do you know." She shot me a puzzled look. "How can't you know?" I just shrugged. Lia called out that it was time to board the plane, and so we went.
Matt looked scared. Huh, I wondered what that was about. Anything I could use as blackmail?
The two people boarding in front of us were weird. They wore one of those Muslim woman head-scarf things, but there skin was way to light to be Muslim. In fact, it almost looked green.
Huh.
I shrugged it of and sat down into my seat next to Stefani.
OMIGOD. Long time no write, its been two months!
Sorry for the uber long between updates!
Also, for those that have read SoN, you'll know that there are some similarities, like where the OC's are headed, and why. Weird, huh?
This was another filler, with no action, but hints of things to come. I actually have been planning the next chapter even before SoN came out, and I never read the pre-released few chapters. Just to let you know when you notice the monsters in the next chapter.
Tata for now, my dearies;):)
Read, Review, You know the deal,
