Tod's mom greeted us as we piled into her *giant* ford van. We all got into the back seats and dropped our packs at our feet. &quot;Wait...if it's Brett's house we are going to, then how come Tod's mom is taking us?&quot; I whispered to Mike, I could tell it was him because I could strongly smell body spray deodorant emanating from the person next to me. &quot;Brett's parents got to the vacation house in advance, and Tod's mom has to go on business trip to Colorado a lot, so she knows the way best.&quot; Mike explained. &quot;You guys ready to go?&quot; Tod's mom called back. We all cheered a &quot;yeah!&quot; and I felt a gentle force pushing me back in my seat. The van was moving. I was going to be a long day's trip. South Dakota was pretty far away from Colorado. I wanted to call Hayley but, for really no reason, I decided against it. I felt the bright winter sun shining on my shoulders from the windows as I felt the car's air conditioning cool my head. I could hear Todd and Brett chatting away as Mike turned his game boy on as I went to sleep. 2008-03-22T20:26:41Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/25409 <p>that sounds like it would be so much fun!<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/25409?basename=50833 2008-03-22T20:26:41Z Flute Loop<33 http://ficlets.com/authors/sasha <p>I love Colorado!
