"So tomorrow's the big day, huh?" Shawn grinned excitedly at his best friend.

"Yep. Tomorrow morning, Cory Matthews turns 16 and mobile!" Cory exclaimed proudly.

"And I have worked out all the details for our big birthday road trip," Shawn bragged.

"And I redid the whole thing after he was done so we don't end up in Mexico," Elena snickered.

Shawn smiled down at her fondly as he nuzzled his head into her shoulder. "See, this is why we're perfect for each other. We work so good together."

"Well together," Elena and Topanga corrected at the same time and shared a smile.

"You can get your father's car tomorrow night, right?" Topanga asked Cory.

"Well, naturally. I'm 16, it's my right. He's probably filling up a tank for me, right now."

"This is a life landmark," Shawn proclaimed dramatically "This is the first Cory drive road trip. The point is, we are merely guests of the car, the wind, and destiny."

"No, no. The point is, a license says we are adults with cars who can see an R-rated movie."

Topanga rolled her eyes. "I'm not going with you guys to some R-rated movie."

"Van Damme takes his shirt off," Cory informed her immediately.

She basically had hearts in her eyes. "Awooga."

"I've seen it three times just for that," Elena admitted with a dreamy sigh.

Shawn frowned and pulled her closer to his chest. "What's so special about Van Damme?"

"Everything," Elena huffed, offended on behalf of the actor, "Even his name is pretty."

"I've got a pretty name," Shawn grumbled, "And a pretty face too!"

"Shawn, please don't turn this into another Leo thing," Elena sighed as she rolled her eyes.

"Oh, so now you're on a first-name basis with Dicaprio?" He scoffed heatedly.

"All right, lovebirds break it up," Cory chimed in before he turned to Topanga excitedly, "The best part is, we are seeing it in Atlantic City."

Her brows furrowed. "Why would we go to Atlantic City when we can see it right here?"

"Because we can!" Shawn answered earnestly and slammed his fist on the table for emphasis.

"Because we can go anywhere," Cory added, equally as intense and impassioned as his best friend, "Because tomorrow, I got wheels. I am free and independent. Tomorrow, I am a man!"
