Dear Diary,

I gasped as I shot awake. "Why are we stopping? Where are we?"

"It's okay," Suki said gently, getting her bag from the overhead rack. "The bus needs gas again, and we're taking an hour dinner." She pointed out the window, where a small diner lay. "They have big burgers, apparently."

I noticed the absence of the boys. "W-where'd the guys go?" I tiredly wiped my eyes as I sat up, and I grabbed my bag from the floor. "Are they okay?"

"Sebastian had to poop, so Jason went with him for security."

"Does Sebastian do nothing but poop?"

"Pretty much, yeah." She laughed a bit as I stood up, and we began filing out of the bus with everyone else. "But, if we need to go to the bathrooms, Jason says we should all go in pairs. Nobody is allowed to go alone anywhere now. Especially because rest stops are really high in mortal crime."

"Makes sense," I admitted. I groaned as I jumped off the bus, and my feet hit the asphalt. Suki gently got down just behind me, and shook out her shoulders. I began cracking my joints.

"We need a wiggle."

I looked at her. "What?"

She began wiggling chaotically, which made me laugh, so I repeated the motion and found that it loosened up my stiff muscles and joints. Suki smiled at me and we began to walk to the diner. "Felix taught me about that. He says it saved his back when he was in Florida, and it's kind of fun."

"Totally agree."

We went inside, where it was warm and stunk like tobacco, which I didn't like. Suki wrinkled her nose momentarily, then quickly controlled her face, probably because she doesn't want to make anyone feel bad. I have no such stipulations. I made it known I hate smokers as we found a table in the back. Sebastian and Jason left the bathroom, with the latter looking a little bit sick.

"Jesus," I said. Suki and I sat on the same side. "Seb, was it that bad?"

Jason shook his head. "It wasn't that." He scooted in to the window, and Sebastian quickly scooped up a menu. "There- There was this guy..." Jason covered his face from the rest of the diner like it was a huge problem. Sebastian looked away from the menu and frowned at Jason. "His uh... fly was undone."

Sebastian blinked. "Well, it is a bathroom with urinals."

Jason glanced at Sebastian. "It was lumpy."

I wrinkled my face. "Oh, ew."

"Ah," said Sebastian. "Good ol' herpes. Was it red and swollen?"

Jason covered his face with his hands. "Please don't make me describe it."

Suki reached into her bag and produced a travel-sized thing of hand sanitizer. "Hands. Now." Sebastian and Jason held their hands out, despite Sebastian's already being a bit damp from washing, but they took the sanitizer anyway. Suki gave some to me as well, since we all know busses aren't known for cleanliness.
