(Well, we were on a road trip and I got this idea to write a story about a road trip! I do not own anything that's copyrighted. Now that that's out of the way, here's the story! Note-disclaimer applies to all my stories that I forgot to put a disclaimer on.)

Spyro sat under a tree, thinking hard. Suddenly a light bulb appeared over his head. Spyro pulled the little string on it and the bulb lit up with a ping. He got up and ran to find Hunter. "Hey, Hunter!" yelled Spyro. Hunter jumped in surprise and landed on a possum. The possum squeaked and ran off.

"Spyro! You made me land on a possum!" shouted Hunter. "Never mind the possum, Hunter. I've got an idea!" said Spyro.

"What is it?"

"Let's go camping!"

"Ok!"

So Spyro and Hunter went to go find Elora. Meanwhile, while they were looking for her, Elora was sitting on a bench, building a box trap. "HEY ELORA!" yelled Hunter and Spyro. Elora jumped three feet and knocked over the box, which fell on the possum. "Guys! You made me trap a possum!" she said as the possum crawled out from under the box. "Spyro has an idea!" said Hunter proudly.

"What is it?"

"Let's go camping!"

"Ok!"

The three of them went out to go find Bianca. "Hey Bianca!" they yelled. Bianca jumped and stepped on the possum. "Yaaahhhh!" she screamed.

"Let's go camping!"

"Ok!"

Before they could go camping, they needed a camping trailer. So they went to the camping trailer store. Unfortunately the owner of the store was Moneybags. "Folks, this is the trailer for you!" he said, pointing at a broken-down, rusty, old trailer that was not much bigger than a mini-van.

"Eh, no thanks. We'll look around." said Elora as they walked off. Then a random character from one of the games walked up. "Hi, I'm going on a two week trip with six other people, do you have anything in the 'small and cramped' department?"

Anyhoo, they walked all around the store (No, not like a car lot, they're in an actual department store.) looking for the perfect mobile home to go camping in. The Hunter saw it. Well, ran into it actually. "Cool! Let's get this one!" he said. It was one of those enormous mobile homes that is like forty feet long, has T.V. and bedrooms and a bathroom that actually has elbow room and a bed over the driver's seats and a couch and a kitchen and EVERYTHING! (Come on, you know what I mean.)

"Ooo!" they exclaimed as they explored the RV. "Wow, its real nice, but I don't think we can afford it." said Bianca. She and Elora went into the back room. A light bulb appeared over Hunter's head. He pulled the string on it and it lit up with a ping. "Psst! Spyro! Have you noticed that this RV has a full tank of gas?"

"Yeah."

"And did you also notice that the keys are still in the ignition?"

"Yeah, I think I see where this is going."

Hunter slipped into the driver's seat and turned the engine on. "Cool! It works!" he exclaimed. "Let's get outta here!" He stepped on the gas and drove through the store, running over Moneybags in the process. Then he drove through the wall, leaving an RV shaped hole. Everyone in the store noticed that Moneybags was a pancake now, and quickly stole everything else in the place. "Yahoo! Now let's go get our luggage!"

Hunter drove the vehicle down the street and stopped by a tall table with a lot of suitcases and stuff on it and a sign that said 'their luggage'. He rolled down the window, pulled in the luggage and handed it to Spyro and then drove off again. They heard a squeaking sound. "What's that?" asked Spyro.

"Aw, man! There's a possum stuck in the windshield wipers!" said Hunter. He turned the wipers on and the possum went flying. Bianca and Elora came out of the room and walked up to the front of the RV. "What was that loud crash?" asked Elora.

"Why are we on the road?" demanded Bianca. "Did you guys steal this RV?"

"Uh.....no we didn't?"

"Hunter!"

"Don't worry!" said Spyro. "We ran over Moneybags so he wouldn't call the police!"

"Oh, that's all right then." said Elora. She sat down on the couch. "Let's watch T.V!" They all got on the couch with her. "Let's watch a movie!" said Bianca. Spyro grabbed the remote. "No, let's watch a sitcom!"

"How 'bout the Cosby Show?" suggested Hunter. Elora looked at him. "Hey Hunter, if you're here, then who's driving?" They all screamed and Spyro grabbed the wheel, just in time before the RV was about to drive into a forest of cactus. "Whew! That was close!" he said as he drove the RV back on the road.

"So where are we going?" asked Bianca. Elora shrugged. "I don't know, this was Spyro's idea." Spyro spoke up from the driver's seat. "We're going to some stare park in Texas." "Cool!"

After about an hour of driving, Hunter was watching T.V., Bianca was driving, Spyro was taking a shower, and Elora was making pizza. "There's something up ahead of us." announced Bianca. "It's getting closer and...yaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" There was a loud splat as something hit the windshield. It was Akiro! There was another loud splat and his sister, Sabina hit the glass beside him.

(A/N: Akiro and Sabina are part dog, cat and dragon. Akiro's green, Sabina's white. See my story 'Lost' for details.)

Bianca slammed on the brakes and the two fell off the windshield in a heap. "Ow! Good grief, why'd ya hit us with a mobile home for?!" moaned Akiro as Bianca, Hunter, Elora, and Spyro came out of the vehicle. "Wait, what were you two doing in the air?" asked Bianca. "We were learning to fly." answered Sabina. "Where are you guys going?"

"Some state park in Texas."

"Neat! Can we come too?" asked Akiro, jumping up. "Sure!" said Spyro. They all got back on the RV and Bianca started driving again. Elora suddenly remembered the pizza and pulled it out of the oven. "Who likes cheese?!" she hollered. The pizza was gone in an instant because everybody grabbed a slice.

TWO HOURS LATER

"We're coming up to a Wal-Mart!" said Elora, who was now driving. "Anybody want to stop?"

"Ooo! I do!" said Sabina. "Me too." said Bianca. Spyro and Hunter beat a path to the door and stepped out. "SPYRO! HUNTER! We're going sixty miles an hour, don't get out now!" They dragged themselves back in, covered with scratches and scrapes. "We know, we know." muttered Hunter. Spyro winced. "Let's get some iodine while we're here."

Elora parked the RV and they all got out and went into the store. "Okay, let's' split up and meet back here in thirty minutes." said Spyro, even though he knew no one was listening. Hunter went and got himself some fishing gear, Spyro went to look at the camping section, the girls went to look at clothes, and Akiro went to look at the sporting goods. Then Bianca remembered that they would probably need some groceries for camping, so she had them all go and help her get some. They ended up with seventeen different types of chips, a case of bottled water, soft drinks, some actual food, some new clothes, fishing equipment, some camping stuff, a possum, some cheese, graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. Hey, what's a camping trip without s'mores?

"Why is there a possum in the cart?" asked Akiro. He picked it up and threw it away, where it hit a bald guy in the head. "Hey, look! It's one of those self-checkout lanes!" said Spyro, pointing at it. They pushed the cart over to the lane. "Okay, it says to scan the item and put it in the bagging area." said Elora. She picked up the marshmallows, scanned them, and placed them the bag.

"Well, that was easy enough." she scanned a few more things when the scanner rejected an item. "Error." said the computer. "Incorrect item in the bagging area. Please remove the item and re-scan it."

"Which item is it?" asked Sabina. Akiro pulled some stuff out. They then began a lengthy process of adding and removing things before they finally got the incorrect item out.

"Okay, it says 'select form of payment' what do I push?" asked Bianca. "Press the credit card button.' said Spyro.

"We have a credit card?"

"Just push it."

Bianca pressed the button and swiped the card. "It didn't work." she said. She swiped the card several more times. "Try turning it around." suggested Hunter.

"Try putting it in one of those other slots." said Sabina. They succeeded in getting the card wedged in the cash payment slot, tried swiping a dollar in the credit card slot, and stuffed several coupons in a slot that didn't exist. "Hmm, no wonder no one was in this lane." remarked Elora. A Wal-Mart employee finally came and helped them. Then they were back on the road, and Akiro was driving this time.

"I'm gonna go try out the bathtub in here, ok?" said Sabina. She went in the bathroom and closed the door. "Can someone hand me the bubble bath I got at Wal-Mart?" she asked. Elora handed it to her. "Oh, can you also hand me the soap I got too?"

Elora found the soap and handed it to her. "Can you also find those towels we got? And the wash cloth? And my big t-shirt? And that rubber duck?" Elora found all these things and handed them to Sabina through the door. After a moment of silence, she stuck her head out of the door again. "This is Akiro's big t-shirt."

Elora grabbed her by the neck. "Shut up and take the stupid bath!!!!!!" she yelled. Sabina smiled meekly. "But then again, wearing Akiro's shirt is no problem." Elora let go of her and Sabina disappeared into the bathroom. "What are you looking at?" demanded Elora. Everyone went back to what they were doing. They finished unloading all the groceries and putting them away, and Hunter put his fishing stuff in the overhead compartment.

"Man, Sabina's been in there for a long time." remarked Spyro. Bianca knocked on the door. "Hey Sabina, did you drown in there or something?"

"Uh..." came the response. "Don't come in! Nothing's wrong!"

"Oh no, what happened?" asked Spyro. Bianca found that the door was unlocked and opened it. She was greeted by a huge wall of white foam. "Yaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" screamed Bianca as the foam was immediately forced out of the small room and into the rest of the RV. "Aaaa! White foam!" screamed Hunter as the foam filled the vehicle. Akiro swerved and pulled over and opened a window, letting some of the foamy stuff drain out. They were all neck deep in foam. "Sabina! How much bubble bath did you put in? asked Akiro.

"All of it?"

"That was an industrial-sized bottle!" yelled Spyro. "Hey, it fell in when we hit a bump!" Sabina pointed out. Fortunately, the mobile home was filled with bubbles, and not water. So all they had to do was drive to the nearest car wash and vacuum out all the bubbles. "Look! There's a car wash!" Hunter said.

They pulled into it and got out. Spyro found one of those car wash vacuums and started sucking up all the bubbles. Something got stuck in the vacuum. "Whoa, what's this?" asked Spyro as the vacuum died. Akiro reached in and pulled out a possum. "It's that possum again!" he tossed the possum onto a car that was going into the wash.

After everything was dry and foam-free, they got back on and continued on their merry way. "It's starting to get dark." remarked Spyro. "We'd better find somewhere to stop for the night."

"Pull over here." instructed Elora as she pointed at an RV park. Akiro pulled in and found a parking spot. "Now, who's gonna sleep where?" he asked.

"Three people can fit in the bedroom, there's a bed over the driver's seat, and this couch pulls out like a trundle." said Sabina. "Now, do we talk this over rationally, draw straws, or kill each other for the best spot?"

"Let's race for it." said Spyro. They all lined up by the door. "Ready...go!" shouted Hunter. Hunter and Spyro ran to the bedroom, Sabina pounced on them and started beating them up, Akiro ran past to the bedroom as Bianca grabbed him by the tail, and they all ended up in a dog pile wrestling match. Elora, Bianca and Sabina slipped out and ran to the bedroom while the others continued to fight. Eventually, Spyro noticed that the bedroom was already taken so he got up and took the bed above the driver's seat.

Akiro noticed that two spots were taken and he got up and pulled out the bed under the couch and lay down. Hunter continued to fight with himself when he realized he was the only one who hadn't claimed a place to sleep. "I call the couch! He said, jumping on it.

THE NEXT DAY

The sun had barely risen above the horizon when they were all up and about. "Hurry up in there, Bianca!" yelled Akiro, pounding on the bathroom door. "How long does it take to brush your teeth?"

"Hunter, it's my turn to drive!" said Sabina as she wrestled Hunter for the driver's seat. Eventually, they all got breakfast and determined the order of who would drive. It took a lot of thinking, bargaining, threatening, thumb wrestling, and promising before they decided who would drive first, second, and so on. Half an hour later, they were all bored.

"There's nothing to watch!" complained Spyro as he flipped through the channels. "Let's go visit some meaningless tourist trap!" Just then they passed a sign that said 'Farmer Joe's snail farm, 3 miles'

Elora exclaimed "Let's go to the snail farm!"

"Yeah, let's!" said Spyro eagerly. "It would be a real nice change of pace." They passed another sign that said 'Farmer Joe's Snail Farm, 3.5 miles.' "We're getting closer!" said Akiro. "Drive faster Sabina!"

"I'm driving as fast as the speed limit will allow me to!"

"Look! Farmer Joe's Snail Farm, two miles!" Bianca shouted excitedly. Sabina drove on. "One mile." said Hunter. "I can't wait to get to the snail farm!" they passed another sign saying 'Farmer Joe's Snail Farm, 0.5 miles.'

"Are we there yet?" asked Spyro. Another sign said it was only 1/16 of a mile. Then another that said fifty yards. Then a really big sign that said "Farmer Joe's Snail Farm, turn right here."

Everyone made a mad dash for the steering wheel and turned right. "We're here!" Sabina announced in a sing-song voice. They got out of the RV and skipped to the entrance. Wait that sounds creepy, let me rephrase it. they got out of the RV and raced to the entrance. There, that's better.

"Admission is a dollar a person." read Spyro. He paid the person at the front gate. "Let's go see the snail farm!" he said. They ran into the gates and saw.........a snail-sized farm. "Hey! Where's Farmer Joe?" demanded Hunter. A snail waved at them. "Well, howdy ya'll! I'm Farmer Joe! Ya'll enjoyin' the snail farm?" They all stared at Farmer Joe, and then Hunter flicked him away. Everyone applauded. "Okay, this is a total rip. Let's just go to that state park in Texas." he said.

They all stampeded back to the RV.

(Now, I know cactus doesn't grow in a forest like trees, I've lived around it long enough to know. So, who thinks this is something worth continuing?)
