This stoy is a request, which is why I'm publishing it now. It will not be a weekly update, like SJAL, but will be updated every once in a while. I will do request stories, but will not publish one of my own stories until I have finished SJAL. Request stories are not weekly updates, but are updated as often as possible. Plus, with school, my foals and showing season, updating for LDs will be extremely sporadic. This goes along the movie storyline, but Sunstreaker will be included, because I love him. :D Anyways, to the person who requested this - I'm not naming names - I hope you enjoy, and PM after you finish reading to tell me how it is!

LDs will not be extremely long in chapters because I need to write other stories too! Enjoy, I only own my OCs, no one else.

Without anymore notes, I present to you, Long Distances! Don't forget to review!

Jessica Robbins pulled in to a long gravel driveway in her 2011 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, the rocks being kicked up by her back tires.

Her school bag clunked around in the back seat, next to a black and white spotted Great Dane - Ollie -, who was wagging his tail as she pulled the Jeep to a stop and pulled the parking brake up. She reached behind her and shouldered her school bag, filled with books of homework that she intended to finish later today. Just as she jumped out of the Jeep - quite literally, she had her Dad lift it, and replace the standard sized tires with forty inch tires with massive tracks - a squeal resounded from the house and the screen door flew open as a little three year old in a pink shirt and leggings, with a tutu fastened around her waist, bounded down the steps almost flew towards Jessica.

"Jessy!" she yelled as said brunette bent down and picked her up, only to spin her in a hug.

"Oh, there's my little Annabelle." she said, a bark came from the back of the Jeep, and Annabelle's Mom walked out.

"Hey Jessica." she greeted

"Evening, Mrs. Lennox." she smiled, placing the little blonde girl back on the ground

"How was school?" she asked, leaning against the Jeep. Originally, when Jessica was hired to babysit Annabelle, and she pulled up in a massive, black, forty inch lifted Jeep that had twenty different lights around it and four light bars, Mrs. Lennox had been sceptical, but when she returned that night to find her one year old soundly asleep, and Jessica still awake, despite the fact that it was three in the morning and the poor girl was probably exhausted from school the previous day, she relaxed.

Annabelle even began calling the Jeep Darth Vader because of the sound of it's engine, and that fact that it was black. Whenever Annabelle managed to bribe Jessica to go into town with her, she had to be actually picked up and placed in the Jeep instead of crawling in, another reason why she liked it. She said it reminded her of a man, presumably a family friend, named Ironhide's truck.

She wasn't sure who Ironhide was, but if he liked lifted vehicles, Jessica figured they'd get along if they ever met.

"Well, I'm in Grade twelve, so, you know... I solved math equations that involved numbers and letters-" Annabelle 'eww'ed, "then Dad picked me up for another lesson with the Mack."

Jessica, more than anything in her life, wanted to be a truck driver. And not just short distance, she wanted to go all over. Her step-Dad, who was now 57, owned a Mack truck, and he helped teach her to drive so she could get her ACZ license soon. She was really excited, and the Mack seemed to like her.

"I remember Grade twelve. Seems so much more complicated now." Sarah pondered as Annabelle wrapped her hand around Jessica's index and middle finger.

"It is." Jessica nodded with wide eyes.

"Well, come on in Jess, you look starving. We still have some dog food for Ollie too. You might have to look around for human food though."

Said Great Dane barked, his floppy ears flopping around as he shook his head.

"Oh, don't worry about it." Jessica waved off "You just go get ready for your trip, I'll take Annie into town to get dinner."

Sarah jerked back just a little "Really?"

"Yeah, you hired me to care for Annie while you're gone. We'll pick you up a coffee or something, too. Two cream, three sugar, right?" Jessica asked, buckling up a smilie Annabelle.

"Yeah, actually. Thanks for remembering. and you're sure you don't mind watching Annie for the week?" Sarah smiled

"No problem. Of course I don't. This week I have a spare first and last period so I can drop her off at school and pick her up."

"Thanks again, Jess."

"Don't worry about it, go finish packing for Vegas." Jessica said as she rounded the front of the Jeep and climbed in. She shut the door behind herself and started the beast up. The engine revved and rumbled, and Jessica watched Sarah enter the house and close the door, before she pushed down the gas pedal. The Jeep rolled forward with a lurch, and Jessica steered the wheel right over a pile of gravel that had been there for close to two years now. Annabelle loved it when she went off road with the Jeep, so she tended to go to the places that she knew were safe when they were together.

"Hi Ollie." Annabelle smiled to the Great Dane who stuck his head over the centre console as they rolled onto the road.

He made a grumbling sound as Annabelle scratched his right ear. When he was a pup he had five diffeent ear infections, only in his right ear, so he loved it when you scratched it there.

They drove into town, and Jessica looked at Annabelle when they hit a red light.

"What do you want?" she asked "And not McDonalds." she added quickly.

"Aw, poopy." Annabelle said and crossed her arms "Jubilee's Burger Joint."

Jessica pulled into a little diner's parking lot and turned the Jeep off as Annie jumped out. Jessica opened her door and pushed the seat forward for Ollie to jump out.

Jubilee was an older woman who ran her family's diner with her son's help, and she loved dogs, so Ollie always went in with them. Besides, everyone in town knew Jessica, her parents and Ollie. Jessica's Dad and Mom divorced when she seven, and her Mom found a new boyfriend within three months who was so much nicer than her Dad. His name was Harry, and both he and Jessica's Mom agreed not to marry again. Jessica agreed, marriage didn't somehow make love official, it just cost a lot of money for a sheet of paper. Plus, Jessica's Dad, her real Dad, was in an army force of some kind, which was killed the marriage, and wasn't home often. He sent letters and called as often as possible to Jess, though.

Annabelle climbed onto Ollie's back, who laid down on the cement until she was securely on, and holding his collar for balance.

Jessica opened the door for the pair, and Ollie trotted in.

"Hey Mr. Holdsworth." Jessica smild to an older man, probably in his early seventies, who delivered Jessica's parents their firewood.

"Afternoon, Jessica."

She smiled as Jubilee walked out of the back, and smiled at her

"Hey Jess, what's it gonna be tonight?" she asked

"Tell her, Annie."

Annabelle looked over the counter top, not that hard of a task when you ride a Great Dane, and and up at the screens on the wall.

"A number 2 with apple juice." she ordered

"Hey! What do we say?" Jessica asked

"Please?" Annie added, smiling.

"Sure sweety. What about you, Jess?" Jubilee smiled

"Nothing for me. A coffee for Mrs. Lennox, two cream three sugar." Jess added

Jubilee punched the things into the cash register and nodded, "I'll be out in a minute."

Jess nodded and reached up to run her index finger over her septum ring. She had four pericings, one on her septum - extremely small, not one of those over done things -, both nostrils and her belly button. They were done individually, and for separate reasons.

Ollie huffed and walked over to a three person family in a booth, and whined at them. The little boy, probably just pushing thirteen, snorted, but gave him a piece of meat.

He gobbled it about two seconds, and barked an apprecation, then trotted away, Annabelle bouncing along on his back.

"Hey Jessica." Grayson, Jubilee's son, said, walking out of the back with a paper bag and coffee "Here."

"Thanks, Grayson." she smiled, handing him a twenty dollar bill, "Keep the change."

"Thanks Jess. Bye Ollie, bye Annie."

Annabelle waved to him, and Ollie barked, standing by the door. Jess pushed the door open with her hip as the dog walked out and towards the Jeep.

Annabelle jumped down from Ollie's back as Jess opened her door, and pushed her in. Ollie jumped in the back seat, and Jess closed the door, then walked to her side. She jumped in, closed her door and started the Jeep up.

She passed the bag over to Annie, who grasped the top of the bag to hold it as the Jeep's engine started up and it rolled out of the parking lot, into the not so busy street.

When they reached the house, Sarah was still at the house. Annie barged through the door on top of Ollie - no surprise there - and placed the bag of food on the living room coffee table.

"Mommy!" she yelled.

"Right here Annie." Sarah said, walking out of the bathrrom, wearing jogging pants and a sweater.

"You look comfy." Jess commented, closing the door behind herself

"I am. You're sure that you don't mind watching her for the week?" Sarah asked

"Pfft, we're good." Jess smiled. Sure, it was a long time, but Jessica lived five minutes from their house, and if there was an emergency, Mr and Mrs Lennox had twenty five acres to get away. Plus, Annabelle loved Jessica, and Jessica love Annie.

"Alright, well. Annie come give me a kiss." Sarah said as she took the coffee Jessica offered her.

She crouched down and kissed her little girl, then stood up.

"Thank you, again, Jessica." she said as she grabbed her luggage.

"Have fun with the ladies! Text me when you guys are in Vegas!" Jess said as she and Jessica watched her enter her 2009 Honda Civic, and drive off.

"Come on, let's eat Annie."

Jessica sat in the living room, finishing up calculus homework that she didn't quite understand, and listening to Annabelle as she danced in her playroom upstairs. Ollie had gone with her, acting as her riding dog again. He never left Annabelle's side during the times that Jessica babysat Annie.

There was a knock on the door and Jessica took one small sip of her coke, then dropped her books and pencil on the coffee table and walked over to open the door. It was a middle aged man who wore army greens.

"Oh, hello. You must be Mr. Lennox." Jessica greeted

"Yeah, uh.. who are you?" he asked

"I'm Jessica, Annie's babysitter."

"Oh, yeah, I've heard of you. Sarah speaks highly of you. Where is Sarah?" he asked as Jessica stepped to the side to let him in.

"She went to Las Vegas with her friends for the week."

"A week?" he asked

"Yes sir." Jessica nodded, then yelled "Annie, your Daddy's home!"

There was a squeal, a bark, and a 'yeehaw' before Ollie clomped down the stairs with a purple tutu-ed Annabelle on his back. Ollie barked as he reached the ground and Annie jumped to the ground and into her Dad's arms.

She mumbled something, probably an 'I missed you', into his chest as Ollie sat next to Jessica on the ground.

"I missed you too." he said, kissing her head , "Is that Jessica's Jeep outside?" he asked, and Annie nodded

Mr. Lennox stood up and offered a hand for Jessica to shake, which she did.

"Thanks for being responsible enough to watch Annie." he thanked, and she smiled

"I've been watching Annie since I was fifteen, Ollie's been helping since last year."

The Great Dane let out a bark and wagged his tail, and sniffed Mr. Lennox's hand.

"Guess who came with me!" he smiled

"I'onhide!" she yelled, and Mr. Lennox nodded and waved out of the screen door.

A mand, with large shoulders and massive arms, walked through the door "Hey, Annabelle." he said, hugging her on his knee

She wrapped her little arms around him, and when she pulled back she climbed onto Ollie's back.

"Ironhide, this is Jessica, Annie's babysitter." Mr. Lennox said, and Jessica shook Ironhide's hand. He had to be taller than six feet, for sure.

"I've heard a lot about you, Ironhide." Jessica smiled, looking down at Annabelle, who blushed.

"All good things, I would assume." he said; his voice was deep and gravely, with a tint of a.. British accent? Yup, definitely a British accent

"Only the best." she reassured.

"Nice Jeep." he commented.

"Thanks, took two years to find it." she said.

"Annie, have you had supper yet?" Lennox asked

"Yeah, Jessy took me to Jubilee's." she smiled, pointing at the half empty apple juice box.

"Ok, thank you, Jassica."

Jessica shrugged and Ollie trotted upstairs.

"Is it alright if she does that?" he asked

"Don't worry, Annie's been riding Ollie around for over year now." Jessica shrugged

"Alright, well, thanks for taking care of her." he said

"No big deal." she said.

Just as Mr. Lennox opened his mouth to speak, the door opened, and Jessica looked up to see the most gorgeous man she'd ever seen in her entire life.

Oh Yoda, I cry, just as I was proof reading, I accidently wrote Birtish accent, not British! :'D, Raise your hand if you have a Birtish accent! Hope you enjoyed! I want a Birtish accent
