A Series Of (Not So) Unfortunate Events

sleeping arrangements

Walking back to the car Richard and Sheryl are talking about who's going to drive. They soon both agree that Sheryl is going to try and drive the bus.

Starting up the bus Sheryl, with instruction from Richard, tries to get the bus moving. Hint tries. The bus keeps making a werid noise signaling that's something is wrong.

Richard then gets into the bus to try himself, and to no avail nothing happens. You throw your head back, something just had to go wrong.

Pulling up into a mechanic's shop Richard stops the bus letting the mechanic take look at what's wrong.

You weren't quite listening but apparently there was something wrong with the clutch, meaning that you guys would have to wait a couple of days for the part to come in.

Richard wasn't having this whole waiting thing and after a couple of minutes talking with the mechanic they come up with an idea.

You and everyone except Richard are behind the bus getting ready to push it forward as Richard is in the front ready to hop in and get the car rolling. "dad I want you in the car first." Richard says.

He then goes to the driver's side and yells for everyone to push. Everyone then begins to push the bus forward making it roll slowly on the gravel covered road.

"I just want everyone here to know that I am the preminant scholar in the United States." Frank comments making Sheryl laugh, you slightly smile shaking your head.

First Grandpa gets into the bus then it was Olive's turn. She quickly ran up to the side door jumping in with her grandpa's assistants. Then Sheryl, frank, Dwayne, and lastly you. Tripping over your feet slightly you quickly jump into the back seat plopping down beside Dwayne and Frank.

"No one left behind, no one left behind!" Frank chants turning to Dwayne. "Outstanding solider, outstanding!" He salutes Dwayne who just smiles in return.

You smile with him leaning back into the seat exhausted from the small physical activity you had to endure just a few moments ago. You lean your head back onto Dwayne's shoulder closing your eyes and resting for a bit, slowly coming down from what had just happened.

You wake up your eyes slowly adjusting to the bright sunlight peering in through the car windows. You lift your head off of Dwayne's shoulder and notice that you are now in a gas station. You look around before you get a tap on the shoulder. You turn to Dwayne who simply points twords a grassy part of the gas station, getting at what he's hinting at. You and him get out of the car. You grab a book along the way.

Reading out loud as Dwayne did his push-ups you waited till he was done or it was time to go. After awhile Dwayne decides it's time to head back into the bus, you fallow him sitting down in-between him and grandpa.

You toss him the book for him to continue reading he does so gratefully. You let out a small yawn covering your mouth noticing frank walking twords the car, black bag and slushy in hand. You quickly dismiss it as something that isn't your business looking over Dwayne's shoulder reading with him.

After hearing Sheryl and Richard argue for a moment the car starts up rolling away and out of the gas station.

Its been a few moments and you and Dwayne had stopped reading by now you instead drawing in his notepad again. Dwayne then quickly snatched it out of your hand, the pen as well. Quickly writing down something. You began to read it out loud. "Wheres olive?" Your eyes widened as Sheryl looks around the bus seeing no sign of olive.

Pulling back into the gas station you see frank slide the side door open ushering olive to hurry up and get into the bus. She quickly runs with it before hopping in taking her seat besides frank.
