“YES” said James, seeing that the room had three separate beds. It had been a long day and they were all knackered, but at last, they’d made it to the Best Western, and they weren’t going to have a repeat of last time.
“You happy James?” said Martin “I thought you’d leap at the chance to actually sleep with someone”.
“Oi” James fired back “At least I’m getting some way towards ending up sleeping with someone”
“Is that all you think of her?” said Seb.
“Shut up you sop, you’d be thinking the exact same thing were you me” said James. Seb shrugged.
“Yeah maybe” said Seb in a mumbled tone.
“Er, yeah yeah more like” chimed in Martin, “Your entire mantra used to be ‘take any chance you get’, remember?”
“Yeah on a night out of course, but it’s different now” said Seb. He realised the balance had turned.
James and Martin scoffed. “Fuck off” said James with a grin on his face, “It took you over a year to even get into a relationship because you loved one night stands so much”
“And that’s how it used to be at uni” Seb fired back, drawing more laughs from the other two.
“Seb you know full well that your ‘Spanish Card’ as you used to call it worked like magic” said Martin, “there’s no way you’ve changed in the space of 2 months. Don’t pretend you didn’t know what it was intended for”.
“Alright then, what’s this Lyra girl intended for then?” Seb jibed towards James.
“She” James began, with sass, “is none of your business and I’m trying to get to know her better”
“So that you can sleep with her” said Seb. The balance had turned once more.
“I…ugh…” James stuttered. Martin looked at Seb, and then to James. He wasn’t taking sides anymore.
“Come on James” said Seb, taking a softer tone. “You’re on a dry spell. It’s how it goes!”.
James blushed, lost for words. “Yes yes alright of course I want to sleep with her” he blurted out, leaving Seb looking very triumphant, “But YOU” he said, pointing at Seb, “the shit you’ve said tonight, come on”
“Okay fair” said Seb. “As for Martin”. And once again, the balance had shifted.
“No no no” Martin started, ready to defend. “I get laid when I mean to and I do it with more feeling than both of you, and you both know that.”
James burst out into laughter. “‘When you mean to’? Hahaha! What are you on about?”
“When I mean to. I mean what I say” he said, dusting off the blows. “I’m never gonna be able to pull like you guys, so I find my own means”
“Getting off with Amanda that course mate of yours at that house party in April counts as ‘doing it with more feeling’ than us then, yeah?” Seb said. Martin glared back; he knew what was coming next.
“Oh yes, I forgot that dreadful dirty talk counts as ‘more feeling’ Seb, isn’t that what you do?” said James satirically. Martin tried to shove in but it was no good.
“What were the words he used again? ‘I’ve wanted to ram you so hard since the moment I first saw you at that seminar at the start of term’?” replied Seb, equally satirically.
Martin sighed. It was going to be a long night.
–
After it had quietened down, James found himself on his phone. He’d been working out how to do this next bit for the whole day, but now in his slightly delirious tired state, he found the confidence. He sent another text to Lyra.
Hey, hope you’re okay. We’re staying the night Mountain Home, dunno how far ahead you are. See you at the finish line?
OOC: Over to you @Fayeding_Spray!

I have a lot of catching up to do, damn.
Team Rice Box
8-10am
“Uh, Getting low on fuel there.” Lyra quipped.
“Yes. Uh, when’s the next fuel stop?” Charlotte replied
“Shit, I actually dunno. Just drive carefully. try and save fuel.”
“Not the best choice of song, Char.”
“Eh, fuck it.”
10am - Noon
“Fuck yes, Petrol Station.” Lyra called out.
“Shit yes. Fuck yeah!” Charlotte was very excited. She turned off Banana, and began re-fueling, while Lyra ducked inside, to pay for the fuel, and pick up some refreshments.
“What’d you get?” Charlotte called over the roof of the PRJ.
“Some Candy, and a few Red Bulls.” They finish the refuel stop, and head off.
“Hey Ly, I think you’d like this song.”
“Oh?”
“Fuck you.” Lyra says, laughing.
Noon - 2pm
“Fuck.” Lyra seemed rather annoyed as she took back up driving duties.
“What?” Charlotte was intently looking at Lyra.
“I think the Power Steering has finally kicked the bucket.” Lyra was unhappy “This is gonna be a bitch to start driving.”
“Let me rummage through our spares. Might have some fluid hanging around.” Charlotte dived into the rear seats, opening the small flap to the boot, and began to rummage around.
“Anything?”
“Nothing.”
“F. U. C. K. With a Capital Everything.” Lyra hit the steering wheel, accidentally bumping the Horn. They both burst out in laughter as Charlotte climbed back into the front seat.
“So, Charlotte, what’s the next song?”
“Another one you might like.”
“I love and hate you at the same time, you know?”
“Oh, I know.” Charlotte had a devilish smile on her face.
2pm - 4pm
“Shit, Char. Fuel’s getting low. Got the spare fuel around?”
“Yep, right here, just behind your seat.”
“Cool, I’ll pull over once we’re close to empty, and you fill us up. Should take us to Fort Hall.”
“Wonderful.”
“Huh, I really do like this one.”
“Thought so.”
4pm - 6pm
-Fuck all interesting, just a refuel and some more candy-
6pm - 8pm
“Damn, this is really a beautiful place, isn’t it.” Charlotte muttered.
“Wanna take a photo with Banana?”
“Did… Did you just call him by his name? OMG!” Charlotte bear hugs Lyra.
“I fucked up, didn’t I?”
“Absolutely Not.” Charlotte was Beaming, while Lyra seemed less than Impressed. “Should we take that photo anyway?”
8pm - 10pm
BZZZZZZT
“Fuck was that?” Charlotte snapped.
“Uh, My phone, I hope.” Lyra said, picking her phone up from the side table. She looked at it, and saw the Text. “Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.”
“What?” Charlotte was lying on the bed beside Lyra now.
“James just Text me.”
“What, the one you flirted with yesterday?”
“Yes that one, you moron.”
“What does it say?”
“‘Hey, Hope you’re okay. We’re staying the night Mountain Home, dunno how far ahead you are. See you at the Finish line?’ Well… Shit.”
“He Like youuuuuuuuuuuu!” Charlotte burst into Laughter.
“Oh my fucking god, you’re a fucking child aren’t you holy fuck.” Lyra was visibly annoyed.
“So, gonna text back, or gonna flake like last time?”
“I told you to never… Have you been into the beer again?”
“Maaaaaaaaybe.”
“Go get a glass of water and go to bed, I’ll deal with my own issues without a Drunk party girl hanging over my shoulder.” Charlotte got up, off the bed, and began dealing with her own issues. Lyra finally figured out what to say.
Fuck me, that was a lot to write in one go. So, it’s probably sloppy as fuck.

“We gotta go through the park.” Marcus said, continuing the argument that had started about an hour ago. The engine continued to rumble along as they approached Three Island Crossing State Park, the fuel light clicking on as they drove up the road.
DING! “Your Fuel Level is Low.”
Marcus flinched and ran over a metal-wire trash can and a charcoal grill, nearly bringing the Dynamite E5 to a sudden halt.
“We’re stopping for a little while.” Marcus said.
“No complaints here. Looks like there’s a couple other teams here.” Trevor said.
“Set an alarm for as early as we possibly can get moving.” Jake said. “Don’t wanna be here too long, fall behind again.”
With that plan in mind, they half-assed their way through setting up some tents, and dropped off to sleep.
Aftermath:
Morale: +7 (+1)
Fatigue: +28 (+8)
Waypoints: 7 (+1… Kinda.)
Status: Really tired. Hoping to not be last again.

Blake: We need to talk.
Zach: I don’t suppose dropping it is an option?
Blake: You told me earlier you were pretty much counting on getting blown away. Not to sound clingy but that is a pretty serious thing to hear. Especially when you’re a parent.
Zach: I’m fine. To tell the truth I haven’t felt this good in a while. I mean, I’m tired and can barely feel my ass from sitting in the car all day, but I feel at peace.
Blake: So you haven’t given up on life?
Zach: I was just out of sorts. This trip has helped. I’m glad I came.
Blake: Not that you really had a choice.
Zach: Heh, I guess not.

Blake: Something better than that cat piss you normally drink.
Zach: Everyone drinks Bud Light.
Blake: That doesn’t make it right. This here’s a real beer.

Blake: We’re having a moment here you insensitive prick!
Marc: My mistake, I didn’t know you had a vagina!
Blake: I’d still be more of a man than you!
Marc: Meh. 4 out of 10.

Blake: Yeah, we’re definitely going to give it Hell tomorrow.

Team Redneck Day 2 2000-2200
Shortly after refueling in Mountain home ID.
Otis, “I’m beat, swapping that engine really took it out of me”
Jake, “Me too, do you want to stay at a hotel or camp?”
Otis, “Lets camp”
Jake, “Ok I’ll find a place”
Jake does some searching on his phone, then says “Got a place, it runs a ways off but also along our planned route. The turn off is in 4 miles”
They turn off of the main road and on to a paved 2 lane road followed by another turn onto a dirt road with the moonlight helping them see their way.
Arriving at the camp Otis says, “Don’t get all fancy with the camp we will have to take it down early in the morning”
Jake sets up the tent while Otis sets up the kitchen on the tailgate and gets everything set up for the mornings cooking.
Jake pulls a 12 gauge and a .45 pistol out of the cab and lays them between the sleeping bags.
Otis warms up a pot of water and the two take a makeshift bath and put on some fresh clothes.
After climbing into their sleeping bags Jake asks, “Do ya think we would have made it by morning if we hadn’t lost the engine?”
Otis, “Probably, we would have been about 200 more miles along, and we have somewhere between 5 and 600 to go. We probably would have still had to stop. That was a pretty quick engine change, do you think we broke any records?”
Jake, “For random on the side of the road maybe, the record for engine swap is pretty fast”
Otis, “They cheated.”
At that they went to sleep.

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooood mooooooooooorning!” Jen chirped gleefully.
Fuzz grunted and rolled over in his bed. This did not deter his sister, who was bouncing like an angry spaniel at the foot of the bed. He lifted his head long enough to grunt, “The hell is wrong with you?”
Jen smiled and held up an airpot. “Coffeeeeee!” she cackled. “They left it unattended. This one is yours. I’m about halfway through mine already.”
Fuzz bolted upright, equally horrified by his sister’s apparent pilfering as her mass, rapid consumption of caffeine.
“Do you need to run around the building to burn some of this off?” he groaned.
“Already did. Fifteen times. Can’t blink. Get up GET UP GET UP GET UP!” Her bouncing intensified, and Fuzz had no choice but to roll off onto the floor with a heavy thud.
Oh hell, this day is gonna suck, he thought.
Fuzz quickly showered and dressed, all the while catching glimpses of Jen guzzling more coffee than Team Outriders’ Petoskey drank gas.
They settled in Teal Terror, The Great Glitterstorm. Fuzz was reaching over into the back seat to retrieve their on-the-go breakfast when Jen turned it on, and again a cloud of glitter blew forth from the climate controls.
Jen giggled. “'I’M THE ROAD FAIRY!”
Jesus, Fuzz thought, rolling his eyes.
His efforts to dust the glitter out of his freshly washed (and still damp) hair were completely in vain, and he resigned himself to eating breakfast and drinking coffee, looking like an indignant sparkly vampire.
