-1Disclaimer I don't own anything except the idea and Tori. This chapter came to me during a very important science class (that I didn't pay any attention to) and put down on paper in one day. Yeah it took months to type and post but at least the next four chapters are done. OKAY! Enough of me…. Enjoy.

The Road

After a few hours of sleep the boys alongside of the MaCallister's filed themselves out in the parking lot. The boys loaded the Hummer up and began their goodbyes. Tori was the last to come out of the Inn. She seemed to be at peace and content with everything that was happening around her. Tori approached the small group with a determined walk and a small smile. She looked well rested, which was quite an accomplishment with her 6 hrs. of sleep.

Jenna was the first to notice the sleepy look that Tori sported. "Evening sleeping beauty."

"Oh that was nothing. I can so do better."

Mrs. MaCallister took on a condescending tone when she spoke. "Yeah, but I had to drag you out of bed before you even realized what was going on."

"Com'on Mrs. C, I wasn't that far gone!"

Jenna piped in. "Yes you were."

"Ugh! Fine." Pouting she turned to Caleb with a sleepy smile.

He softly laughed and put his arm around her. "You ready to go then?"

"Yeah. I do have four lovely ladies waiting for me. I can't keep them waiting for ever now can I."

With a slick smile Tyler commented on her little words. "Well. Well. Where did all the fancy words come from?"

"I have my moments."

"I'm sure you do."

"It's getting late. We should get going for the drive."

Caleb nodded at Reid's logic and started for the Hummer. "Alright, let's move out."

Tyler got into his Hummer and revved the engine up. They knew they had while to go before they arrived in Ipswich so they took a few extra minutes to make sure everything was in order. While Caleb and Tyler went off for a last minute snack, Tori approached Reid with a rather amusing thought.

"How about you let me drive?"

"You might be cute but you're not that cute. You are not driving my car and that is that."

A rather odd thought, well odd for Tori, came into her mind then. 'Reid thinks I'm cute? Really?!' She took a deep breath, controlled the erratic thinking and answered him with a full 1000 watt smile.

"Aww, Com'on Blondie. Promise you'll have fun."

"No."

"What are you scared? Scared that a girl will be better than you, in your own car?"

"Shut it Jenna."

Tori smirked at the shorter girl. She had hit a sore spot and 'to hell' she wasn't going to pass it up. Pogue interfered before she could get her piece out.

" I think she's got a point. Maybe you should let her drive Reid."

Reid had one reserved just for him. "Would you let her drive the Ducati?"

That sparked Tori's fire faster than a racer at NASCAR. She turned to Pogue with wide eyes and an interested look. "You have a Ducati?"

"Can you ride?"

"Some."

"Then yes, I would let her near my bike."

Shaking his head Reid called Pogue's bluff. "You wouldn't." If it was anything, Pogue wouldn't let a girl near his bike. Even Kate had to have him there when she wanted to ride. He'd never let Tori near it, not right away.

"Whatever. I'm driving and that is that."

"Like hell you are."

"Gimme the keys or I'll start it myself."

Reid stopped protesting and gave her the most evil glare she had ever seen. Yeah, if looks could kill she'd be buried by now.

"You are so infuriating."

"I know. It's a gift. Now hand over the keys."

Reis handed over the keys and got in the car. Once Caleb was through getting in, the real fun began. With one look to Reid and the others Tori started the car, put in gear and stormed out of the parking lot.

"What are you doing?!"

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm having some fun."

Reid looked at her like she was crazier than a nut job at the loony bin. "Fun?"

"Yeah. This is fun! Going 100 miles an hour without a care in the world. Especially if you're in a shiny new car that you can crash."

"Hey! Not funny!"

"Geeze breathe."

"I'll breathe when you stop the car."

"Oh Com'on. I was going faster with Jenna. Where is your sense of adventure?"

That snapped Reid to attention. She was right. He was Reid Garwin … most wanted man in Spencer. He should be fine with her driving but the thought of a girl, of Tori, driving his car so recklessly just didn't amuse him. "Oh shut it." They kept silent for a while and just enjoyed the speed, brought upon by Tori. After a while Tori noticed three missing guys.

"Where are the guys anyways? They weren't going this slow."

"I think you lost them in the last town we passed."

"Ugh, they are way too slow."

"Maybe if you weren't going 110, they would catch up."

"Shh, nobody asked you."

Reid looked over at Tori with an amused half smile. "Yes you did."

"Nope."

He looked out of the passenger side window and below his breath " Psychotic …. I swear to the gods she's psychotic."

"What was that?"

"Just keep driving. I still don't get how you know where we're going. No one ever knows how to get to Ipswich unless they've been there before."

"Yeah well what can I say? I just know. Now drop it."

"Fine."

"OH. OH. There they are. Are we close to Ipswich?"

"Funny how you can get here, but don't know when you've arrived. You are in Ipswich."
