Victora bounced in the middle seat as Pope sped down the street.

"Uh, Pope, you're driving pretty fast." Sarah said from her spot in the passenger seat. 

Victoria played the air drums, head banging as she created her own beat. 

"Pope, last to judge, but I think you should slow down a little." JJ said.

"That would definitely delay our arrival to the cross. We gotta get there." 

"Life in the fast lane, man!" Victoria cheered. 

"Not the time." JJ told her. 

"Why did we let him drive again?" Kie asked, crammed between Pope and Sarah.

"I offered." Victoria raised her hand. 

"Plus, I'd rip your ears of." 

"Because he said he'd rip our ears off." Sarah nodded.

"We honestly could have ran there too. Get a good 5K in." Victoria bumped both of her shoulders to John B's and JJ's.

"You hate running." They both said. 

"How are you guys feeling, huh? How ya doing?" John B asked them.

"Uh, fantastic. I don't know what JJ's cousin gave me, but I am moving." Pope answered.

"I feel like I am speed." Victoria said. She gasped. "The need for speed! What is that from?" 

"Top Gun." John B answered her.

"Yes!" 

"Great film!" Pope turned to look at her.

"Eyes on the road!" Kie slapped him.

"Okay, anyway, you are going really fast right now."

"Really fast!" Pope turned around again, swerving. The others screamed but Victoria cheered, putting her arms up like it was a rollarcoaster. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't know if you noticed but there's these giant oak trees all along the side of the road. They're, like, six inches off the road-"

The sped up behind another car, another one incoming in the other lane. Pope quickly went to pass the car causing the others to panic more. 

"What an asshole, right?" Pope asked.

"He's going the speed limit!" Kie said.

"We're not gonna get to the cross if we're dead, Pope!" 

"We're not gonna die. It's our divine right to get that cross." Pope said.

"Yeah! It's Pope's family's cross! And we are also Pope's family!" Victoria agreed.

"Damn straight!" Pope looked back at her.

"Pope! Look at the road!" 

They all began to scream as the truck spun out. It spun multiple times before the drivers side hit a tree. Victoria moved her arms from her head, looking over at JJ.

"Is everyone okay?" John B asked.

"I think so." Sarah answered.

"I feel great." Victoria nodded, her eyes wide.

"Never better." JJ said. He opened the door, hopping out. "That is the last time you drive, Pope." 

Vic jumped down next to him, her eyes still wide.

"Are you okay? Did you hit your head?" JJ asked, looking at her face.

"I'm good." She nodded, removing his hands from her face.
