Three hours in a tiny car with Edgar, and Todo was starting to loose his mind. "Do you have to sing every single song on the radio?" Todo asked. "Please, I beg you, stop turning the music up so loud every time a motorcycle passes. And stop reprogramming the gps to direct us to the nearest ice cream store."
"But I'm hungry!" Edgar insisted.
"You're always hungry!" Todo countered, then continued, " We should have been at the campground an hour ago, but I didn't realize you switched the gps to the nearest Dairy Queen, and we drove in the wrong direction for 45 minutes!!"
"I said I was sorry!! I thought it was along the way."
"Edgar, if you have to make a u-turn in the middle of the road, and go back the way you came, it's probably not along the way!!"
"Look babe, I'm really really sorry, but we're five minutes away now, so let's focus on finding the campground right now, and argue about this later."
Todo, who normally would have snapped back at Edgar's use of the word 'babe' opened his mouth to speak, changed his mind, closed his mouth, and looked out the window without comment. Several minutes passed in silence, the only sound coming from the radio, where Brendon Urie and the rest of Panic! At The Disco crooned out 'Northern Downpour'.
Finally, Edgar broke the silence. "Todo, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have changed the gps. I hope I didn't ruin the trip. I was just trying to be silly, and also to get a snack. Please don't hate me."
Todo turned to look at Edgar and smiled. "You idiot. You didn't ruin the trip, and I couldn't hate you if I tried."
Edgar took one hand off the steering wheel, and threaded his fingers through Todo's. Once again a silence filled the car, but it was the type of silence that didn't need to be filled. Three minutes later, they had arrived at the campground. Edgar pulled into a parking space, and stopped the car. Without saying a word, he leaned across the car, kissed Todo softly, and then left the car. Todo watched him walk into the camp store, and then got out and opened the trunk to get the tent out. Once he opened the trunk, however, he discovered there was no tent. Several minutes later, after frantically searching through the piles of supplies and food that stuffed the trunk, Todo had concluded that there was no tent. Edgar stepped out of the shop and began to stroll towards the car, quickening his pace when he noticed the expression on his boyfriend's face.
"What's wrong?" Edgar asked. "Did something happen?"
"You packed the tent, right? Please tell me you didn't forget, and that you just put it someplace completely absurd like you usually do."
Edgar stared at him for a few moments, his mouth hanging open in an expression of absolute horror. In an almost silent whisper he replied, "I
thought you packed it..."

Cliffhanger!!! Muaahahaaa!
