A/N Um, derp? hehehe. Alice and Brandon play a prank on BlackStar!
Next day...
At 6:00 Alice woke up groggily. "Hmm... Oh yeah! We were going to New York... Time to wake Brandon!" She got out of the RV and shook Brandon awake.
"Huh? Oh yea." he said, waking up. He quickly got in and out of the shower, and changed. "Time to start driving. Oh, do you still want to know what a lemon is?" he asked, getting into the driver's seat, seeing that no one else was awake.
"Yeah." Alice responded, getting into the passengers seat.
"It's fan-written anime porn." Brandon said, starting the engine.
"Oh... what's that?" Alice asked.
"Uh..." he started, blood dripping from his nose again. At that time, Maka woke up. Brandon quickly looked back and saw she was awake. "Cant tell you that when they're up." he said, pointing to where the the group was. "Here, google it." he said, handing her his phone.
"Never mind, cause I think i've got a pretty good idea about what it is..." Alice said, giving back his phone.
"I thought so." he said, putting his phone away. "Maka, if you want to take a shower, keep it short. We have a limited water supply." Brandon said, and turned onto the highway.
"Hey, Brandon, next time we do this make a fake ID and liscense." Alice said.
"Will do." he said, and put on the cruise control as they reached 70mph.
Alice chuckled, then realised something important. "Crap!"
"What?" Brandon asked, putting on his hat.
"I left the officer hypnotised! He could be dead by now!" Alice laughed.
"One less obsticale in our path." Brandon joked. "Unhypnotize him." he said.
Alice snapped her fingers. "There. I hope he's still alive."
"Good. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you guys. We're in Idaho right now, and should be in Wyoming by 2:00." he said, driving with one hand.
"OK." Alice said, staring out the window.
They drove until about midnight, when everyone was asleep, aside from Brandon and Alice. As he pull into the truck stop, Brandon got an idea. BlackStar was incredibly annoying that day, so Brandon wanted revenge.
"Hey Alice, don't you think BlackStar was exceptionally annoying today?" he asked, an evil grin growing on his face.
"Yep. That dumkopf was really getting on my nerves!" Alice replied.
"How about a little revenge?" he asked.
"Can we kill him?" Alice asked.
"Nah, I got something else planned." he said, opening the glove box and taking out the roll of duct tape. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Duct tape his mouth?"
"And his hands and throw him in the shower." Brandon finished, pulling out a piece of duct tape.
Alice giggled. "It seems that Brandon likes it kinky~!"
"No, if I liked it kinky I'd throw Blair in there with him." he said, quietly making his way over to the sleeping ninja.
"Should we?" Alice asked.
Brandon grinned even more. "Yea."
Alice gingerly picked up the sleeping cat, grinning. Brandon quickly covered BlackStar's mouth with duct tape, wrapping it three times around his head, them put his hands behind his back and wrapped them together five times, just in case he tried to escape. He then picked BlackStar up, opened the door to the shower, and layed him down, his face looking towards the door. Alice placed Blair on his stomach. "Should we cut the water on?"
"Nah, wait until morning for that. We'll do it in front of everyone." Brandon said. "Do you want the bed tonight, or do you want to fall asleep in your seat again?"
"Hm? I don't care." Alice said.
"You can have the bed then." he said, walking back to the driver's seat. "Good night." he called, and fell asleep.
"Good night..." Alice said before laying down on the bed and going to sleep.
Brandon woke up first at 6:30, and went to go take a shower, when he walked in though, he saw BlackStar there sleeping, and the prank from the night before came back to his memory. He also saw Blair, who was sleeping on his lap. 'This is going to be so funny.' he thought to himself, fighting back to urge to laugh. He then returned to the driver's seat and started the engine.
When the engine started everyone except BlackStar and Blair woke up.
Alice got up out of the bed and into the passengers seat so she could talk to Brandon. "This is gonna' be hilarious."
"Hey, where's BlackStar?" Soul asked, rubbing his eyes.
"That's your cue." Brandon said quietly, elbowing Alice.
Alice led Soul and the others-including a grinning Brandon-to the shower.
"Why are we here?" Maka queried. Alice opened the shower door and they all saw BlackStar and Blair.
"Back up a bit." Alice said. "This is gonna' be funny!" She turned the water on, which woke up BlackStar and Blair. Blair yowled and thrashed around a bit, while BlackStar tried to free his hands.
"Let's hope this will teach him to shut his big mouth." Brandon said, laughing. The rest of the group started laughing too.
Alice turned off the water and turned to face Brandon. "I think now would be a good time to take the duct tape off."
"I guess so." he said, taking our his Swiss army knife and pulled out the blade. He made quick work of the duct tape, throwing out the scraps. Alice yawned. She went back to the passengers seat and sat down, not wanting to hear BlackStar complain.
"Now sit your ass down and shut up." Brandon told BlackStar after he removed all of the duct tape and went up to the driver's seat, and pulled out of the parking lot.
"Hm, so bored..." Alice mumbled about an hour into the trip.
"Go back there and turn in the tv then." Brandin said, pointing towards the tv near the back of the RV.
"Nah. TV rots your brain..." she replied. "Is there a radio?"
"Cause rap is totally NOT brainwashing the younger generation." Brandon said to himself. "Here." he said, pointing at the radio. Alice turned the radio on and searched through the channels until she found the classic rock station. Led Zeppelin was playing.
"You may be weird, but you're cool, Alice." Soul said. "You both are."
"Ah, good stuff." Brandon said, listening to the music that was flowing from the radio.
"Yep." Alice replied. "Who doesn't love Led Zeppelin?"
"Rappers most likely." Brndon said. When the song finished, "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi came on. "I love this song." he said, turning up the volume.
Alice chuckled. "Wow, I didn't think anyone could have this much fun while stuck in a car..."
"The human mind can generate fun from even the most dullest of things." Bandon said, humming along to the song. Alice giggled a bit. At around noon, Brandon made an announcement from the driver's seat. "Welcome to Nebraska." he said, reading off a sign on the highway.
"So, how close are we to New York?" Alice asked.
"Six more states. The good news though is that we should be in Iowa by night fall." he said, changing lanes to over take a slow driver.
"Six states, huh?" Alice sighed, sinking into her seat. "Anyone else hungry?"
"Gimmie a sec. Grab the wheel quick." he said, and got up. He walked over to the fridge and grabbed a raw steak. He then came back and sat back down. "Here." he said, handing her the steak.
Alice quickly ate the meat, causing stares from the other occupants in the RV.
"Why are you eating that raw?" Ox asked.
"'Cause I'm weird!" Alice replied.
"She likes extremely raw steaks when I grill, so I don't even bother cooking them anymore." Brandon said, opening a he grabbed.
"That IS weird." BlackStar said.
"Well, it tastes good! So shut it!" Alice retorted.
"Should I get the duct tape again?" Brandon asked.
"Sure." Alice replied.
"Here." he said, handing her the roll. "Wrap him up like a Christmas present."
Alice grinned evilly at BlackStar, who looked ready to fight for his freedom of speech. Then she handed the tape to Soul and batted her eyes cutely. "Soul, will you be a dear and tape his mouth shut for me?" she asked in a sickly sweet voice.
Soul, who was having a bit of a nosebleed, taped BlackStar's mouth shut and gave the duct tape back to Alice. "What the hell was that?" Brandon said, creeped out by her acting "cute".
"Something I call 'seduction'. Learn about it." Alice replied rudely, devoid of all 'cuteness'.
"I know about that, it's just that you don't show the ability to be 'cute'." he said, stil a little creeped out.
"That's how I manipulate people." Alice replied, chuckling darkly.
"It's bad that you fuck with their minds, but now you fuck with their instincts." Brandon said, turning his attention back to the road. They drove more, and at 8:00, they reached Illonois. "Half way there." Brandon said.
"Yes!" Alice exclaimed, doing a typical American victory fist-pump.
BlackStar tried to talk, but all that came out was "Mmph!"
"Shut up, BlackStar." Brandon said. "Jesus, I can still hear his nagging voice through the duct tape."
"Mein Gott! He's so annoying!" Alice exclaimed.
He made more noise.
"If you don't shut up, I'm going to put you in the baggage compartment." Brandon threatened, turning around to face him. He instantly became quiet. "Thank god." At that point, Alice was grumbling to herself in German about how annoying BlackStar was. They drove until midnight, when Brandon parked the RV in a truck stop and fell asleep in his seat, not bothering to get to the bed.
