"God, I’m glad I’m not there," Sam uttered in horror just imagining it.

"I feel sorry for Carmen and Harrison," Lily said remembering the friends they left behind and feeling a pang of regret. They never even said good-bye.

"Can you see it, though? No one to reign her in. Good Lord, we better not be gone long," Brooke snickered from the drivers seat.

"By the time we get back everyone will be talking with that God-awful accent and wearing leather and anally electrocuted mink," Nicole joked earning herself a glare and pinch from Lily.

"Eek, a whole populace of teenage Mini-Mary Cherry’s. I might not wanna go back," Sam shuttered. THAT was a mental picture she didn’t need. {Author’s advice: don’t go there. I wish I hadn’t.}

"So, where exactly are we going?" Lily asked to change the subject. Mary Cherry still gave her the hibby-jibbies. Brooke looked at her in the rearview mirror and shrugged.

"I don’t know. We just kind of figured we’d drive until we saw something that caught our eye. If you see something, Lily, let me know and I’ll stop."

"Actually," Sam interrupted. "I need a pee break." Brooke laughed.

"Big feet, small bladder," she kidded her love. Sam mock glared at her.

"Oh, har har, Brooke," Sam huffed indignantly while crossing her arms and pretending to be insulted. This made Nicole and Lily laugh harder in the backseat.

"Me too," Lily piped up a few seconds later.

"That’ll teach you to buy a 48 ounce Slurpee, won’t it?" Nicole teased. Lily stuck out her tongue, which was now bright purple from said Slurpee.

"OK, there’s a gas station up ahead. We’ll stop there," Brooke said. She pulled over and Sam and Lily ran to the ladies room as she and Nicole refilled the gas tank.

"Well, this is a royal mess," Nicole remarked. Brooke sighed and nodded.

"Yup." Nicole tilted her head and stared at Brooke for a second.

"Do you really love Spam?" she asked softly. Brooke frowned for a second before answering.

"Yes. With all my heart and soul. I wouldn’t be here otherwise. Do you really love Lily?" she countered. Nicole smiled.
