Hey ya'll. This is BeautyofGrace's cousin. You can call me ShadowofDoubt or XPunkRockPrincessX13. Or if I actually get to know you, call me Farris or Alyssa. I figure if I'm going to help her write I want ya'll to know me somewhat. I'd really love it if ya'll added me on MSN or AIM. I'm sharing an AIM with my cousin, issy13142. I'll put my MSN in the profile... eventually.

P.S. Anyone know where I can get video clips of Jason Dolley? Ones that can be downloaded.

Okay Apparently I was wrong on the schedule front. I'm am off pretty badly. okay, by two chapters. But We're going to work really hard and try to get two chapters up tonight. Maybe one tomorrow if we have to. We've also been working on First chapters for other stories. Go Fig right?

And, while I'm thinking about it, What with people that use chat speak in real life? I know this girl that says LOL and STFU and things like that. It's irritating, Chat speak is meant to make typing faster and easier, when speaking if you can't just laugh and have to say LOL I will not hesitate to smack you.

Chapter 6

Cory had been driving for about ten hours, give or take. They had to stop three times for bathroom breaks. He was tired and everyone was hungry. The food had long ago run out thanks to Stickler and Newt, who had supposedly skipped breakfast and needed food.

"Let's find some place to stop and Eat." Meena said as her own stomach rummbled.

"Yeah, I have to pee anyway." Greenlee agreed, trying to pull her hair into a ponytail and not elbow Newt in the face, not as easy as it sounds. Cory turned into a diner and parked. Everyone scrambled out, nearly knocking each over in desperation to stretch their legs. They walked into the Diner and it felt so cool, something out of a Coming of Age Movie or something. Five friends, a road trip. it was just too awesome, in Meena's opinion at least.

They sat at a booth and picked up the menus. Stickler wrinkled his nose at some of the choices.

"Hey kiddies, what'll it be?" An older woman with heavy make up asked. They each ordered and closed the menus.

"This is going to be great!" Meena smiled. She toyed wither her bracelet and laid her head on Cory's shoulder. This had to be great. It was their last adventure before graduation. Meena shook her head, trying to shake the thought from her head. She didn't want to think about Graduation. This was happy time.

"So where are we sleeping?" Greenlee asked, propping her elbows up on the table and quirking an eyebrow. Everyone looked at Meena, waiting for an answer.

"There's a motel close to here. We're going to get rooms there." Meena said. She'd made sure they took a route close to motels. She reached in her purse to pull out a notebook and check that they were on schedule. "We need to get gas before getting to the hotel, I drive tomorrow and that should take us to New York. We'll have a day to ourselves before TRL!" She squealed, a couple of truckers turned to look at the teens.

"She didn't take her meds." Greenlee explained to them and they turned back around.

"So What are we going to do with our day in New York?" Stickler asked.

"Duh." Greenlee rolled her eyes. "Shop, Practice, Shop, see some sites and Shop." Meena nodded and wrote something in her notebook.

"so we're getting two rooms right?" Stickler asked.

"Right." Meena smiled.

"And Motel rooms generally have teo beds if you're lucky... I call a bed." Stickler said quickly.

"Bed!" Cory and Newt Cried.

"I called it man." Cory said.

"I called it." Newt Insisted.

"Relax, if it comes down to it we'll get a cot or something." Greenlee shrugged.

"Fine." Newt and Cory agreed. Meena let out a sigh of relief.That room thing hadn't even occured to her.

"Here you go Dolls." The lady, Meredith, said, putting the plates of food down. "Where you all headed?" She asked, going back behind the counter. Newt, Stickler, Meena andCory looked at each other, slightly uncomfortable with the creepy old lady talking to them. Greenlee however, had been on the road quite a few times before and had been to a lot of diners full of creep waitresses.

"We're headed for New York." Greenlee grinned at the lady. "TRL's having this big band contest and we entered... I think, but we're going to play." She nodded. The lady smiled, revealing yellowed teeth smudged with Lipstick.

"My daughter was in a band for a couple years. They almost made it big, but their guitarist quit and went Solo. Mila... something..." The lady scratched her head. "Well I can't remember, but if it weren't for that Mila my daughter'd be rich and I wouldn't be working here." Greenlee turned to Newt, wide eyed.

'Oh Shoot.' She mouthed.

"Mila... she married that rock star... Alex...Bens...Benson...umm..."

"Binx?" Greenlee guessed.

"That's it." The old lady snapped her fingers. Greenlee resisted a blush and turned towards the window. She didn't know a lot about her paretn's lives before they married, but she did know her mom had been in a band at one point.

"Almost done?" She squeeked.

"Yeah I'm pretty much finished." Newt said, ignoring his half eaten burger. Meena and Cory nodded, but Stickler, not getting the hint, shook his head.

"No way, I've barely eaten anything." He said. Greenlee glared at him.

"Come on Stickler." Newt grabbed his arm. "We'll get you something from the vending machines at the Motel." Meena paid for the meal and they hurried out.

"Wow that was awkward." Cory said, getting in the driver's seat.

"No kidding." Greenlee muttered, leaning against Newt. Meena looked back apologetically. "It's no problem Meena, it was actually kind of funny." She said honestly. Something exciting for the trip. Cory pulled out onto the road and headed in the direction Meena pointed him for the Motel.

On the way Black Eyed Pea's Pump It came on the radio.

"I love this song!" Meena cried. She started singing along and after a moment everyone else joined in. They sang all the way to the motel where they piled out and grabbed their bags from the back before going to book rooms.

"We need two rooms." Meena said to the man at the desk.

"We only have one room." The man replied. Meena frowned.

"What?" Her eye's widened and she looked back at the guys and Greenlee who were still on about Pump It. "We'll take it." She decided, getting out her wallet and paying for the room. She took the key and led them out.

"Where's our key?" Stickler asked.

"Umm... they only had one room..." Meena said, unlocking the door and walking in. It was a decent motel, pretty much clean. The room they got only had one bed.

"Oh that's good." Greenlee said, dropping her bag.

"So Meena and Greenlee on the bed and we're on the floor." Newt said.

"I'll sleep on the floor." Greenlee offered.

"I'll take the bed!" Stickler cried.

"I'll take the floor." Meena gave Stickler a weird look.

"It's not like that. I just don't like sleeping on floors." Stickler explained.

"Mmmhhhmmm." Greenlee rolled her eyes.

"No really." Stickler insisted.

"Whatever you say." Greenlee smirked, heading towards the bathroom to changed.

"Seriously!"

"Sure."
