The adventures of Rydel and Ellington

Rydel - 3

"This," I said, "is literally the BEST ice cream I've ever had."

Ellington looked over at me and raised an eyebrow. "I thought that's what you said about the last ice cream place we went to, and before it was the other place, and oh-"

"Oh shush you," I said. He was mocking me. He grinned.

"So," I said casually, "why aren't you with Kel?"

He choked a bit. "We broke up," he said. His eyes were turned away from mine, and suddenly his ice cream was the most interesting thing there was.

Oh man. Wrong move. Way to go, Delly.

"Why?" I couldn't help but to ask. I winced at myself. That was tactless. Very tactless.

"Apparently there was too much space between us and I wasn't happy enough to see her after touring," he said sadly. I awkwardly patted his head.

Then I got the best idea ever.

"Finish up your ice cream, Ell. We're both going to go home and pack, and then were going on a road trip."

When I got home, the boys were lazily watching the TV.

"I'm going on a road trip!" I announced to them.

The programme clearly bored them because they immediately looked up grinning. "Can we come?" Ryland asked excitedly.

"Umm..."

"Wait," Riker said suspiciously. "Who were you going to go with?"

"Umm..."

Rocky broke out in laughter. "Is it Ratliff?"

"Umm..."

"Right, we're coming along," Riker announced.

"But-" I cried out in protest, only to be cut off by Riker.

He grinned at me. "There's no way you're going on a road trip alone with Ellington. Who knows what may happen to the both of you? What if you guys get stuck in the middle of nowhere? Who's going to save you?"

"Worse!" Rocky gasped. "What if you come back- pregnant?"

We all gave Rocky a look and he started guffawing to himself. That's when I started chasing after him. "ROCKY!!"

I eventually hit him, in which he replied, "You hit like a girl."

Ladies and gentlemen, Rocky.

I got into my room. What do I pack for a road trip?

I decided on my Polaroid camera, several changes of clothes, my blankie, several packets of wet wipes (never know when those might come in handy), makeup, and my phone charger. It seemed sufficient. And I fit these all in one case.

Thinking it should be enough, I closed the case and went to Riker's room and started disturbing him. "So what did you pack?" I asked him.

"Stuff," he said.

"Riker."

"Rydel."

"Riker."

"Rydel."

"Ri-"

"Will the both of you cut it out?" Rocky snapped. We both grinned at him and high-fived each other. He rolled his eyes. Oh how the tables have turned.

"You know what?" I asked to no one in particular. "I'm pretty excited for this road trip!"

"Sure, because Ratliff will be there," Rocky said cheekily.

I don't think he saw the pillow that sailed to him coming.
