Trinity's eyes flick open.

She looks to her window and sees little tiny rocks hitting it.

"What the hell?" She whispers to herself before going to check it out.

It was just JJ. She slides the window open, "What are you doing?"

"Move over,"

Trinity obeys and moves to the side. JJ prepares himself and all so quickly jumps into Trinity's room.

"I have a door you know?"

"I didn't wanna wake Matt up."

She nods and pulls the window down, "Good point."

JJ plops down on Trinity's bed, "Okay, JJ, I don't mean to be rude but why are you here?"

JJ shrugs, "I don't know. Bored."

"Great." She sighs.

JJ's face lit up with an idea. "Do you want to go out for a surf?"

"Now?!"

"Yeah!" He grins.

"No JJ, I'm so hungry..." She looks to JJ wide-eyed and with a grin, "Let's go to the twenty-four-hour convenience store!"

He hops off the bed. "Let's do it - please tell me we're driving,"

She laughs as she pulls a sweater out of her closet, "As if I'd make us walk."

JJ picks up her car keys off the vanity and as silently as he could tread through the house out to the front door.

"Wait do you want to drive?" She whispers closing the front door behind her as JJ heads off to the car.

JJ just looks to her and nods as he sits in, starting the engine and starts revving.

"For God's sake," Trinity mumbles and jogs over to shotgun, she opens the door and buckles up. "Stop revving!"

JJ giggles. "Sorry." He looks down at the pedals, the speedometer and the gear stick.

"What you can't drive stick?" She asks.

"Don't be silly," He pushes down the hand brake and they start rolling out of the driveway.

Trinity nods, "Okay now how about adding some speed?"

"Yeah let me just—" JJ pulls the car to a sudden and accidental stop, "—Dammit, hang on."

"Do you want to swap?"

He shakes his head. "I got it," And soon enough he drove smoothly.

Trinity opens the dashboard to find a small purse inside. That purse always had money in case she was already driving and forgot to bring her card or purse from the house.

"What do you want to get?" JJ asks.

"Drink and some snacks, what about you?" She turns her head to look at him.

"Oh, nothing."

"What do you mean nothing?"

JJ is quiet for a second. "I'll probably help myself to a few small things, nothing major."

"Why when I can just pay for it...legally?"

"Everything is more fun when it's illegal." JJ winks to her,
