-FIVE-

"Okay, kids. Look at this man," said Allison, patting her husband's arm as she drove them to the new location. "He is going down as a Yes Day legend."

"Yes, but no more food, please, not today." Groaned Carlos. 

"I second that," said Madison, leaning her head on Katie's shoulder. 

"Dad, it's gonna be super chill," said Nando.

"It's relaxing," admitted Katie, leaning her head on Maddy's. 

Ellie piped in, "And sanitary."

Baffled, Carlos asked, "What could be sanitary?

"I don't know," Allison shrugged, looking at them.

"Are we buying toilets?" He asked. 

Everyone laughed, as Allison chuckled, "Oh, no." 

Madison pulled her camera from its straps, and held it up at Katie and hers face level, the lens pointing at them. "Smile," she grinned. The camera shutter clicked, and she showed her friend the photograph.

"Damn," laughed Katie, "That's one good photo. Send me all of them once you've converted the SD card images."

"Of course," winked Maddy. "Anything for my favourite girl."

The brunette blushed and looked away, mumbling something that sounded like "Shut up, you fucking flirt-"

They pulled into the car wash, and Carlos admitted, "Oh, now this is what I'm talking about. A car wash is like being reborn," he turned to them, "This is exactly what I needed, kids. Thank you."

"Yes," grinned Nando, handing out lab glasses. 

"Yeah, yeah. This one's easy," chuckled Madison, handing over two glasses to the adults. 

"Hey, guys. One more thing," Katie smirked deviously.

"Windows down!" Ellie yelled.

"What?" Exclaimed Carlos. 

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa," Allison paused, "What?"

"Well, you have to. It's Yes Day," said Nando.

"What do we do?" The woman turned to her husband.

"I don't know. It's your car," he shrugged.

Tauntingly, Katie said, "Come on, Mom. You can say it. One word. Two letters," she counted the letters off her fingers and smiled mockingly, "N-O?"

Looking at her daughter and deciding not to back down, the woman announced, "Windows down!"

With those words everyone cheered, and Madison hastily put her camera in its bag as the water sprayed into the car, drenching them instantly. They screamed and cheered till their throats went hoarse. 

"I don't have to wash for a week!" Nando screamed, soap suds all over his face. 

"You don't already!" Katie laughed. 

Madison laughed and wiped the soap suds out of her eyes screaming when another jet of water caught her in the face. Katie laughed and chucked soap at the blonde, who gasped, offended, and did the same back to her. Maddy's face was dry after the blow-dryer made their hair fly in to each other's faces, earning laughs from everyone.

They exited the car wash, laughing and cheering. 

"God, I smell like Bath & Body Works' cheaper version--" Madison groaned, pulling and squeezing foam out of her hair. 

Nando found a rainbow loop on his t-shirt and popped it in his mouth, earning exclamations of disgust. 

"Ew!" Exclaimed Madison. "Nando you're gross as hell!"
