Steve was blasting the radio, clearly enjoying the luxury of this fancy, stolen car.

"♪ Your love! Liftin' me higher... ♪" Azalea mindlessly sang along to the radio.

Steve glanced at Robin with a smug look. She rolled her eyes and smacked his arm playfully.

"Jesus, how far is this place, man?" He then complained, waiting for direction from Dustin.

"Relax," Dustin chastised, "We're almost there."

"Suzie must be pretty special, huh?" Robin called back to Dustin from the front seat, "I mean, if you built this thing and lugged it all the way to the middle of nowhere just to talk to her?"

"It's kinda romantic," Azalea wiggled her brows at Dustin teasingly, "In a sweet, nerdy way."

Dustin smiled at Robin for bringing his girlfriend up, "I mean, nobody's scientifically perfect, but Suzie's about as close to being perfect as any human could possibly be."

Azalea couldn't help but glance at Robin. She was pretty perfect.

"She sound made-up to me." Erica cringed. She then involved Steve, "She sound made-up to you?"

Steve didn't answer, as if carefully choosing his words.

"Why are you hesitating, Steve?" Dustin yelled, smacking his shoulder.

"I'm—" Steve fumbled, "I'm not! I'm not! I think she sounds real. You know, totally, absolutely real."

Poor Dustin.

"Left." He suddenly yelped, narrowly missing Azalea's head as he pointed, "Turn left."

"There's not a road here!" Steve stressed.

"Turn left now!"

"Jesus! Hang on!"

Steve sharply veered left, crushing branches and brush as they began a bumpy ascent up a steep hill.

Azalea yelped after getting elbowed by both kids on either side of her when they nearly flew out of the car, "Steve! Watch it! Your carrying precious cargo back here."

"Oh, excuse me," Steve sneered back to her, "If you're so great, you drive next time."

"I will." Azalea spat back in annoyance.
