A/N: This is gonna be pretty speedy so I hope you can keep up and I don't screw up anything.

Like I said in the last Authors Note, I'm British and not the smartest of people so I'm sorry if I accidently put that they drove through six states in a day when they could have only physically have done five of them.

Please review - nicely.


"Four rooms please," Joe asks the middle aged man stood behind a wooden desk, typing away at an old fashioned computer. Finn takes a step forwards and drops a handful of crumpled dollar bills onto the desk, the precise amount for four rooms for the night, and suddenly everyone's glad he had the good sense to bring some cash as well as the credit card with all of the money from the De Leon.

It was a rundown place, with a neon red sign saying "motel" only the 'o' was flickering and not florescent like the other letters. The building itself was painted a yellowing shade of white, with mould growing from every possible crevice. It wasn't ideal, not with its dusty windows and cracked paint, but it would suffice for the night.

The bald headed man – who introduced himself as Tony – hands Joe four keys, each with a hefty feather tied to the end like some sort of makeshift key ring and points them in the direction of the creaky staircase, the route they would have to take up to the third floor.

They move up the stairs slowly, each of the boys carrying a duffle bag that Finn had kindly packed for them before leaving, having a little common sense and foreboding, only he hadn't quite realised the scale of their trip, and so in three days they'd all be without clean clothing.

Julia however had been slightly less and slightly more organised. She was carrying the same peach coloured overnight bag she had used for her De Leon trip, only this time she hadn't packed any other shoes and so the sky high Gucci boots she sported would have to do. Not to mention the fact that although she had brought an extra pair of pants – or as she called them trousers – she hadn't brought another top, or underwear, or nightwear, but she did remember her toothbrush. This is more than can be said for Finn's packing.

Julia and Tobey take the first room they pass with a number corresponding that on one of the keys. She opens the door slowly, met with the smell of dank walls and dusty air, but the bed looks clean and cosy so she supposes it's not all bad. There's a small bathroom attached and Tobey excuses himself immediately to use it, saying there was nothing he craved more than a nice long hot shower. So Julia sits cross-legged on the bed, reading the an article in a motoring magazine she brought with her about Lamborghini going electric, which to her sounded like utter fraudulent bullshit.

When Tobey returns, Julia is so into the article that she doesn't acknowledge his presence, not until he coughs slightly and she looks up, startled.

He's changed into a deep red top, she notices, with light coloured jeans and wet hair to contrast, he looks comfortable, and at home despite the foreign room. He smiles down at her when she regains the ability to think after her startle, standing to meet him at the bottom of the bed.

"Feel better?" She asks politely, oddly anxious about what the night could hold.

He nods and takes a step forward, cocking his head to the side like he did the first time he ever kissed her, and then he does. It's slow at first, then his hand comes to rest on her cheek and she stumbles forward into him, her hands finding his muscular arms.

And then he pulls away, watching her as she looks up at him breathless. The look she gives him makes him feel like he's still kissing her, all the while still dying of thirst for her lips on his.

"I've been waiting for six whole months to do that again," Tobey tells her, nothing but pure honesty registering in his blazing blue eyes, his black pupils obscuring a considerable amount of the bright iris.

Julia feels herself blush again and slowly moves her hands so they're circling his neck, then without warning, she jumps, lacing her long thin legs around Tobey's waist and his hands move in perfect synchronisation to hold the top of her thighs, "Well I've been waiting for almost three years to do that."

Tobey smirks, "you win."

"What's my reward?" She teases, tightening her legs around him to no avail; before she knows it Julia is flat on her back on the springy mattress, the force bouncing her up and down.

And then Tobey's on top of her, leaning down to capture her lips with his, "this," he says into the kiss, securing his body weight above her.


DAY #2 Arizona to North Dakota

"Do you guys have no respect?" Joe says as the door to the room Tobey and Julia shared for the night swings open, he hands them both a flapjack he had brought from the garage next door before continuing, "some of us were trying to sleep last night."

Finn laughs and come up behind the Super Duty driver, handing the couple a cardboard coffee cup each, "Yeah but we couldn't since there was this weird noise that went on and on and on…"

Tobey takes a sip of his strong black coffee through the plastic lid and takes in Julia's blush to his left, "Maybe it was your subconscious trying to escape."

"Ha, Ha," Finn responds, sipping from his own cup, "Sounded more like some form of torture being carried out in there," he nods towards the now closed door of the motel room with a smirk.

"Hey, what is up guys?" Benny's voice interrupts from the other end of the corridor, his bright orange jumper brightening up the dirty white walls and stained carpet, "And Julia, looking mighty fine as ever, you know I never put you down as a screamer."

The casual mention of her responses to sex makes Julia cower down behind her coffee cup, it was true that she was a screamer and she already knew that, it wasn't the first time someone had picked up on it. But last night was exceptionally bad, probably because the sex was exceptionally good, either way she had kept all four of the guys awake last night, although Tobey was wide awake for an entirely different reason.

She was wearing the other pair of pants she had packed, a tight fitting pair of light blue ripped jeans with her Gucci boots and mass of uncontrollable tresses up in a ponytail. And then, after explaining to Tobey her mishap of forgetting to pack a second top, she was given the dark red shirt he had worn for a very short while the night before, which she took gratefully, tying the hem so it wasn't so baggy and showed only the tiniest peep of snow white skin of her stomach.

"She's full of surprises," Tobey tells Benny, slotting his makeshift breakfast into his back pocket as Julia does hers and handing her his coffee, then he picks up both of their bags and follows the guys – bags in tow – down the stairs and to the front desk, where Joe hands Tony the keys and they're on their way.

Everyone's stuff goes into the back of the Super Duty and they make a pact to stop at the nearest department store to stock up on what they'll need for the rest of the trip before jumping into their vehicles. Finn and Joe into the Super Duty with Joe driving, and Tobey and Julia into the Mustang, but Benny just stands between the two cars, looking lost.

He turns to Tobey and smiles shyly, trying his best at a lost puppy dog face and then he spots an easier target and faces Julia, "Hey Jules," he says feigning sadness.

"What is it Benny?" She asks, rolling down the window from her passenger seat.

"Can I ride with you in the back of the pretty car?"

Julia turns to Tobey weakly, Tobey shakes his head, Finn and Joe plead her with their eyes, Benny shuffles forward to give the blonde a better look at his sad eyes, Julia sighs, "I suppose you're going to want me to sit in the back, yes?" Benny nods and Julia gets out of her car, moving into the back seat and strapping herself into the middle space so she can still she out of the front. Benny instantly smiles, taking the spot where she just sat and passing her back the coffee cup she had put down the side of the door.


They exit Arizona as fast as they entered it, not giving it the time of day only being able to cross it off of the list, then they do the same in New Mexico, barely getting a tyre in before leaving once more on the states mostly unpaved roads.

Then they're speeding through Colorado faster than the speed limit and Julia knows that they'll get back to New York way before the ten days is up.

They make a quick stop in Colorado to see the Garden of the Gods but they don't stay long and soon they're in Wyoming, they stop for lunch and exit the state swiftly, almost turning back on themselves to get to Nebraska. They fly through, heading east towards Iowa, aiming to get to North Dakota before Tobey and Joe needed to stop for sleep, though at the speed they were travelling, they weren't exactly taking in the sights. None of them particularly cared though, this was just to say that they'd done it, for Pete.

"We're going so fast I think we're going to be home sooner than next Monday," Julia spoke from where she sat in the back seat of her own car.

"Yeah probably, we're not exactly seeing much of the US are we?" Benny replied to her, twisting in his seat to see the blonde he was addressing, "that a problem? You want us to stay around a bit?"

Julia shook her head, "No it's fine, I like watching the world go by like this. But I think we should take the extra time to spend a day at Disney World when we get to Florida, I could see if they have any last minute rooms available for two nights. We could aim to get there just before bed and spend the following day on the rides and head out the day after," when no one spoke she added, "If you want to that it, I just thought It'd be nice."

"We were barely planning to touch ground in Florida," Tobey replies, keeping his eyes on the road as he swerves past cars doing half the speed he's touching.

"That's fine then," Julia spoke, feeling slightly deflated, "It was just an idea."

Tobey clocked the woman's response and quickly added, "Yeah it was good idea, Petey would've loved it."

"Yeah man but you don't-"

Tobey cut Benny off straight away, "don't know why I was planning to dismiss it in the first place, you're right Benny, thanks." Tobey shot his friend the 'don't-say-it' look and Benny obliged.

So Julia sorted out the logistics while Tobey talked Joe and Finn into it and they were all booked by the time they sped out of Nebraska and into Iowa where they kept to the border, sometimes leaping back into Nebraska to get to North Dakota through South Dakota by the time the sun set.
