Mission two was trickier than mission one. He successfully convinced, whined, and argued to get Derek to drive but making a pit stop before NYC is going to be trickier. For his plan to work he had to butter Derek up and try to not look like he is doing it. So yes mission two was going to be trickier.
They were due to leave in a week provided that nothing supernatural happened. Scott was on vacation to the Bahamas with Allison and Isaac and respected parents. Stiles would have gone but they had a big party graduation night. He was so sick of the love triangle between them that he didn't want a week or more lovey-dovey affection; he got enough of that in school. Of course the parents didn't know about the little threesome couple, or at least Allison, Scott, and Isaac didn't think so. Stiles knew better. Mama McCall is not stupid either is Papa Argent. So those tagging along were not just a formality or the need for supervision. Stiles helped Scott plan things for the parents to do, random activities where the kids could sneak off. He helped switch the rooms to where the kids were on one floor and the parents in separate room were a few floors above them. He also made sure the hotel was booked full in efforts the parents threw a fit to get it changed. Hacking became Stiles favorite past time, he spent way too much time with Danny after Jackson left. Lydia graduated a semester earlier and is already at Columba. Stiles applied to Berkley but haven't heard from them yet. So in repayment for the hotel and getting the parents off the graduates back Scott, Isaac, and Allison 'agreed' to look over Beacon Hills for a week or two until Derek and Stiles returned for the road trip. Mama McCall agreed to look after Papa Stilinski's diet as well as the kids. How Stiles got his dad to agree to let him go on a road trip with Derek for two weeks? That's another story in itself; let's just say persuasion, bribe, and nightly check in.
Stiles got his plan together on what he and Derek wanted to do but he still needed to figure out how to spring the side trip on his every knowing boyfriend. He thinks sleep deprived and GPS tampering will have to work. Now Stiles Google mapped how long it would take to get to NYC around 41 hours without stops or traffic. So it would take about 2 days driving if they stopped a few times and not spent the night anywhere. He is rethinking the whole driving but the plans were already in motion so whatever. Derek said money was not the issue so he can splurge on gas. The place he wanted to go (the cave) wasn't that far off from their destination.
"Hey Der, um you sure you want to drive all the way there, it's a long ass drive," Stiles said while packing the cooler for the back seat. "Yes Stiles I don't mind, I made the drive from there once, it's not that bad," Derek said rolling his eyes while putting the bag in the trunk of the Camaro.
The car and the cooler were packed, the only thing left was to fill the tank and get ice for the drinks in the morning. Derek figured if they left around 3 am that way they would be out of California by morning and pass Reno, NV around 7 or 8 am. Now the trick is to pass Reno without Stiles knowing. That's the reason for leaving at ass o'clock, not that Derek told Stiles that. But little did Derek know that Stiles tampered with the GPS.
"So we are leaving, when?" Stiles asked, flipping through the DVR. "3 am, and I want to leave at 3 am Stiles not 4 or 5 so you have to be ready or I'll leave without you," Derek said while making sandwiches in the kitchen. "3 am what the hell, I planned on us leaving at 7 or 8," Stiles gasped, but secretly was ok with it. It was just fun to rile Derek up. "Stiles I told you this last week, if you pay attention then maybe you wouldn't be surprised," Derek growled walking back in to the living room to sit on the couch. Grabbing the remote out of Stiles' hand he changed the channel to the animal planet, Treehouse masters was on. Derek says he watches it for research but stiles knows better. He likes the way Pete works and he likes Alex. Three shows later Stiles was passed out drooling on Derek's lap. Around 11 Derek poked Stiles in the ribs to wake him up and go to bed.
The fun begins in 4 hours. Be prepared.
Okay guys thanks for the follows and favs. What should I do let them go to NYC (the cave) without incident or have mini chapters on pit stops? Up to you. Let me know.
