I'll Meet You There

04

Our next activity was off-roading monster trucks and go-karting. Oh yeah, that can only go so well. The go-karts could apparently go 100 miles per hour. And I bet the guys will try to go as fast as they can.

Sam and Colby were on a team, and Corey and Elton were on a team. I frowned and said, "Who am I going to be with?"

"You can be with Team Blue Eyes or Team Brown Eyes. Up to you."

I thought for a moment and said, "I guess I'll stick with Sam and Colby."

We got into our cars and I slid into the middle since I was the smallest out of the three of us.

Not that I said it aloud, but I felt a little like we were in Jurassic Park.

Our instructor started talking to us through the speaker and warned us about alligators. We were nice and waited for Corey and Elton because they were going slowly.

A bee entered the car and Colby and I, Colby mostly, started freaking out. The bee came near me and I froze while he was screaming. Eventually, it left and I said, "You know, freezing is better. The bee tends to lose interest."

Corey's voice then came through the speaker and he pretended to ask Colby out on a date. We reached the next part of the course, and the instructor told us what we needed to do. Sam was still in the driver's seat. The instructor placed our car at an odd angle and I slid into Colby and he grabbed my arm and held me close. "I got you, Poppy."

I yanked my arm back. "Don't touch me."

"Sorry, I just didn't want you to fall."

We got to a cliff and realized we'd have to drive down it. Colby took the driver's seat and suddenly, we felt a push. Instantly, I grabbed the walkie and cried, "Elton, watch your back!"

Elton returned, "Ooh, I'm so scared, Poppy!"

"Don't test me," I said with a light sneer.

When we reached the end of the course, we made our way to the go-karts.

Elton was PinkleBerryPaw, Sam was 8 100 Rangers, Colby was TFIL Part 2, Corey was Bill, and I was tinydander.

Elton, unsurprisingly, decided to make it into a competition. Take a shot every time that happens. Actually, no. Don't. You'd be drunk before noon. Colby said that he'd touched the fence, and Elton reminded him that it was yesterday.

The winner wouldn't have to drive and the losers would have to split up the drive. Seeing how Elton was reacting, it was probably a long drive. Since I'd stayed on the platform, unless Elton changed his mind, he'd told me that I didn't need to worry about driving.

Elton ended up winning, so that meant the boys would be splitting up the drive.

Sam disappeared somewhere and Elton, who was still in his suit, pretended he was hiding in the car. We found out that we didn't have to pay, which was pretty cool.

Elton asked if we were ready to drive, which meant getting in the car quickly. I was the first to jump the fence, and did so with relative ease.

Colby was driving, Sam would steer, and Corey would be look-out. I chose to sit in the back and not have any part in whatever they were doing. Elton was filming and laughing while yelling at the boys.

The RV jolted forward and my head hit the side. Hard. "Hey! Be careful! Don't be injuring people!"

"Sorry!" Sam yelled.

My head hit the side again and Elton said, "I can't take much more of this, and clearly Poppy can't either."

Elton then told them he'd seen a cop and took over driving. He then told the boys he hadn't seen a cop.
