"Lilly-Mae. Wake up, honey." Someone shakes me awake. I groan, and roll over. I then have something digging into my throat. Scared, I shoot up. It was only my seat belt. I relax a little bit, then glance over at Debbie.

"Hey." I say, sleepily, I wipe my eyes with the back of my wrist. "Are we here already?" Debbie laughs.

"No, hon. We're at a service station. You need the toilet?" I shake my head. "Ah, well. You can come in anyway. Get something to eat and drink. Bring your phone if you like." I smile at her as I take my phone out of my pocket, only to see that there's no charge left in it.

"It's ran out of change." I grumble. Debbie look thoughtful for a second.

"I'm sure we'll find you something to do in there." We link arms as we cross over the car park. When we enter the big service station, and I can smell the hot chocolate. I can pretty much feel my mouth watering. Debbie laughs at my reaction. "Here," She passes me a £10 note. "Go get something." She grins at me, before going into the ladies toilet.

I stand in the middle of the room, like a weirdo. Then I spot Derek, and walk over to him. "Hey, Derek." I smile up at him.

"Hello, Lilly-Mae, you alright?"

"Yeah. I don't have much to do. My phones dead." He shuffles through his pockets. Derek pulls out his iPhone, passing it to me.

"Here you go. It's got Minion Rush on it. Keeps me busy." He laughs. I laugh with him. "Did Debbie give you any money?" He pulls out his wallet. I push his wallet away.

"Yeah, she gave me a tenner. I'm just heading over there." I nod my head to the W.H.Smiths. Derek nods.

"Okay. Don't be too long." Then he walks away, probably heading to the toilets. I wander over to Smiths and look at the magazines. I see one with Bro Down on the front, so I pick that one up. I go and pay for it, then get a hot chocolate.

I sit up to a table nearest to the toilets, so when either of them walk out, they'll know where I am. I pull out Derek's phone and play a bit of Minion Rush. After about 5 minutes, his phone rings. Darren is the caller I.D.

After debating for a few moments, I grow some balls and answer it. "Hello?" I answer.

"Hey, Dad?" The voice from the other end says. Derek's son. I rack my brain for something about his son. I can't think of anything.

"Nope. I'm not Dad. I'm not really the right age or gender to be your Dad." I laugh down the phone.

The guy on the other end laughs with me. "Well, then, person whose not the right age or gender to be my Dad, who are you?"

"I'm your Dad's fiancee's Goddaughter." I reply, quite proud of the answer.

I hear the guy make a humming sound. "Okay, can you tell my Dad I called?" I tell him I will. "And, one last question."

"Shoot."

"Why have you got my Dad's phone?"

"Well," I start, "my phone died, and your Dad let me borrow his to play Minion Rush while him and Debbie are in the toilet." I then realize how weird that sounds. "We're at a service station." I rush on. That doesn't sound as weird.

The other guy chuckles. "Okay. Well, if your travelling with them, I'm probably going to see you soon, then. What's your name, by the way?"

I laugh. "I thought you've already asked your last question?"

"Yeah, but this is my last last question."

I sigh. "Okay, I guess I could tell you my secret identity. I'm Lilly-Mae. and who are you?"
