Note: If the beginning is boring to you, I apologize, but I had to portray the beginning without exaggeration, as it's true. After the POV switch is not true, because I have no idea what happened with the police chase and the car.
She was staring out the window, aimlessly in space, head crushed against her hand. Nothing interesting to see, nothing interesting to hear, only the passing yellow dotted lines of the highway. The girl sighed, crushing her head on her window, deciding it would only be merciful to fall asleep.
Just as she was drifting away, a distant roar was heard in the background, with a lot of swerving noises.
Zoom.
The bright red car that had passed nearly clipped the mirror, driving at speeds above 90 miles per hour. The car continued away, swerving through lanes and cutting cars every few seconds, nearly causing multiple accidents.
The girl raised her head in alarm, focusing on the car.
Someone has to catch that woman. That just can't be allowed!
Suddenly, sirens went off, and a hidden police car jumped onto the road and raced after the bright red car. As the car and the police drove around the bend, the girl soon lost sight of the chase.
The girl sighed. Anticlimactic, she thought.
The girl soon went back to her incoherent thoughts, and proceeded to smash her head against the window tiredly.
Soon, her thoughts drifted back to the car.
I wonder why she was speeding, she thought.
I wonder...
-----------------------------------------------------
Got to go, got to go, got to go!
Got a place to be, a plane to catch!
Got a party to attend, and a son to pick up!
Got to go, got to go, got to go!
Got a husband to pick up from the hospital, and a daughter who broke her bone.
Got to go, got to go, got to go!
Got a maybe, not really, slightly drunk driver, me!
Got to go, got to go, got to go!
"Come on Sally, you've got places to be! Got to go!" Sally muttered.
As she nearly clipped a mirror, she giggled.
Waving her hand behind her, she opened her window and yelled "Sorry!" to the driver.
Who cares anyway?
Because she's got to go, got to go, got to go!
90 miles per hour? How about 100 Sally?
Sure Sally!
Sally pushed down on the gas pedal even harder.
Take a swig of that drink Sally!
Sally grabbed her beer from the cup holder and took a swig.
"Sorry!" Sally giggled as she hit the mirror of another car and watched it fly away onto the grass.
Oops!
Time to go, time to go.
You're sounding like the Mad Hatter Sally.
Well, too bad!
"What's that sound?" Sally asked herself.
She looked in her mirror, and giggled again.
It's.. It's... A police car?
"Got to go, got to go!" Sally muttered, flooring the gas pedal and speeding ahead. The police car followed her, beeping its horn and activating the wailing sirens.
The police car sped up, and drove right next to Sally.
Of course, she did the logical thing in her drunken state: wave.
"Hi!" She yelled over the wind.
The police just nodded and motioned for her to pull over.
"No can do sir! I got to go, sorry!" Sally bellowed. And with that, she hit the brakes.
Sally's bright red car screeched to a stop, and the unsuspecting police kept on driving forward, slowly slowing down to get her. However, Sally was already one step ahead. She hit the gas pedal again, and then passed the police car, leaving him, quite literally in her dust.
The police cursed, and sped up again to catch up. This time, Sally slowed and pulled over.
"HI!" She yelled.
The police muttered into his radio, and Sally caught phrases such as "intoxicated... finally pulled over... no backup needed... $1,000 fine... Car confiscated..."
Sally grinned. This was going to be fun!
"Ma'am, I noticed that you are, of course, intoxicated. Have you taken any other chemicals besides alcohol?"
"No sir," Sally whispered, looking down.
Sally eyed the police's keys and belongings in his belt.
"Say, how much would you take in exchange for those keys?"
The police looked up from writing the ticket. "I would give you nothing, as I wouldn't barter for the keys ma'am."
The police continued writing her ticket, and Sally got right up next to the man, leaning next to her ticket, causing the police to practically taste the beer. The police finished writing her ticket, and handed it to Sally.
"Please pay your fine to the police office. Thank you ma'am. Would you like a ride back, or me to escort you?"
"Sure!" Sally giggled, "I love riding with police officers!"
The police, slightly concerned, went into the police car, motioning for Sally to follow him.
"I'll get a towing company to grab your car later. Where to?"
"To the Happy Smiles Hospital!"
------- Sally has arrived at the Happy Smiles Hospital--------
"Hey Sally! Over here!" A voice whispered.
"Hello Sam," Sally said nonchalantly. "I'm sober now."
Sam nodded, and pointed to her pocket.
"Don't you know it's rude to point?" Sally said, amused.
"Come on, just give it to me!"
"Fine!" Sally whispered, and threw him the item in her pocket.
Sam grinned, and eyed the numbers on the plastic card.
"How'd you get his wallet?" He asked.
Sally shrugged. "When he was writing my ticket, nothing special."
"This'll be fun," He said, chuckling.
Sally laughed.
"Of course," she said, smiling deviously, "Of course."
