At midnight, just as planned by Matt and Evan, the three boys were back in the guest room, standing around in a circle with their backpacks on the floor and Matt and Evan looking at a map.
"I say we take this route. It'd be faster to get to Disney and we're going to have a very nice head start for our small trip." Evan pointed out, all the while Matt nodded and Jeff shook his head.
"You guys are really going to do this?" He asked, making both boys look up from the map at him.
They stared for a few seconds, then looked at each other, and finally Matt answered. "Well, yeah, Jeff. I'm not going to lose you without a fight."
Evan nodded as the Hardy said this, then added, "Besides, would you really pass up a chance on a hair-brained adventure that might save your life?"
Jeff sighed at their words, then looked out the window and back. "Well, if we're going through with this, we might as well go now. We would like at least a six hour head start, right?"
Both Matt and Evan nodded, then the oldest picked up his backpack. "Are you sure there's no way your parents could track us if we take their truck?" Matt asked the small teen, who nodded.
"He has that thing under lock and key so the 'Terrible Three' can't use it. And because I'm the only good kid in the house, James has left with me the location of the key if anything should happen at night." Evan informed, smiling as Jeff high fived him.
"Nice! Who knew being good payed off?" Jeff asked, making Matt roll his eyes.
"Let's get going, you two." Matt said as he walked out of the room, his backpack as full as the day he arrived.
Jeff and Evan both followed suit, their backpacks also filled with everything they might need for their adventure, and they soon were down in the garage. Evan walked towards Mickie's car, making the brothers raise an eyebrow. He opened it, rummaged underneath the chair, then pulled out a key.
"Told you I knew where it was." Evan smiled as he jogged towards the brothers, who were smiling and clapping.
"Awesome." Matt said, then took the key from Evan and opened up the Pickup. "All aboard: The Gold Express!" He chuckled as he threw the backpack on the bed of the truck then went to the front.
"Seriously? Could you be anymore Generic, Mattie?" Jeff asked jokingly as he threw his own backpack, followed by Evan.
"Yes, I could, Jeff. Be happy I didn't say an Indiana Jones reference." Matt told him, opening the door to the truck.
"What is going on in here?" A new voice asked as Jeff and Evan made their way to the front, making both teens freeze as Matt stayed with his door still open, not daring to look to the side.
Jeff looked at the intruder, then smiled nervously. "This is all just a dream?" He asked shyly, making Randy glare down at him.
"No, this is not a dream. And from what I have gathered, you three are going to steal my father's truck and go around doing stupid stuff, aren't you?" His steel gray eyes glared directly at all of them, making Matt sigh and get out of the truck.
"Look, Randy, it's not that. We aren't going to do anything stupid." Matt told him, approaching the taller teen.
"Oh, really?" Randy asked, crossing his arms. "Then what are you going to do? Because I'm pretty sure we can charge you with kidnapping Evan, Hardy."
Evan glared at him, crossed his arms, then noticed that Jeff was slowly moving to Randy's back. They were going to trap him, weren't they!
"Oh, come on, bro. You can't possibly think these guys would kidnap me." Evan smiled, walking towards Randy so that now he was boxed in. Well, triangled in.
Randy looked down at him, eyebrow raised and wondering why Evan was being so uncharacteristically nice, then looked to the side to find a Hardy on either side.
"What are you doing?" He asked, taking a step back as he noticed the evil smile on Evan's face and sorry look on Matt's.
"We're serious 'bout this, Randy, but we can't leave you behind now." Matt spoke, making Randy's eyes widen as he finally figured out what was going on.
"Now!" Jeff yelled, jumping on Randy, followed by Matt as Evan ran to grab some rope.
"Quick, Evan!" Matt commanded as Randy tried to bite his finger, making the older hiss and glare.
"Get off of me!" Randy growled as he thrashed, trying to shake either Hardy off of him.
"Grab his legs, Jeff! I have the upper body!" Matt said.
Jeff did as told, and soon enough Evan was back, rope in one hand and duct-tape in the other. The first thing they did was duct-tape Randy's mouth, then they moved on to tie him up in a cocoon of rope and tape.
"Evan, go start the truck. No doubt the idiot woke someone up with all his ruckus." Matt said as he got up and helped Jeff get Randy up.
"Met me mout mo' mere!" Randy yelled out as the brothers spoke, along with a few more profanities, but quieted down when he noticed no one was paying attention to him.
"Ah, I don't know guys, maybe we should stop now. This really would be kidnapping." Jeff said as he looked at Randy, who heatedly glared back at him.
"There's no turning back now, Jeff. Either that, or you two go away for assaulting Randy." Evan said as he started the truck, then opened the door so the brothers could throw Randy inside the back seat.
Jeff sighed as he did so, then he said, "I'm not riding with Randy. He could bite me or something."
Evan nodded, then yawned. "I can ride with him. 'Sides, I'm sleepy." He informed the brothers, who nodded.
"So Jeff rides up front and I drive. That's fine with me." Matt said.
The three quickly climbed into their respective seats, Evan curling up on the seat with his head in Randy's lap, Jeff with his head on the passenger's window as he tried to catch up with some hours of sleep, Matt humming along to the songs on the radio as he drove, and Randy glaring at the back of the Hardy's heads while silently cursing himself for wanting to be a smart ass.
I couldn't help myself. I just had to have someone that really didn't want to be there. Anyways, it's 4 in the morning, I can barely keep my eyes open anymore, and I'm dying of laughter because I just had the Hardy's and Evan kidnap a Viper.
But, two reviews and I'll update later in the day!
