Day 1) Road Trip

Reborn watched as the group was assigned to different teams and given an Emergency Contact for while they were on vacation.

"Kyoko-chan, I-Pin-chan, Lilly-chan, Bianchi-chan and Luna-chan are on Nana-chan's team." Hari said. The orange haired girl smiled as she and the younger girl grabbed their bags, and followed the two women to the car. Bianchi happily dragged Lilly to the car 'girls car' while Nana and Luna followed.

"Teddy-kun, Hayato-kun, and Tsuna-kun are all on Reborn-san's team, while Ryohei-kun, Takeshi-kun, and Lambo-kun are all on my team." Hari said next.

Hayato watched as the girls car pulled out of the driveway first. He sat in the back seat of the Suv with Tsuna between him and Teddy. Lambo sat in the middle row in a child's booster seat, with Takeshi inbetween the little boy and Ryohei. Reborn sat in the passenger seat, while Hari-san sat at the steering wheel.

"Oh! And one more thing before we leave," Hari-san said as he started the car. "I've never done this before, so please keep your seat buckled."

"Never done what before?" Takeshi asked as the Suv pulled out of the drive way.

"I've never driven a car before." Hari replied with a smile as the Suv began speeding down the street.

The teens all screamed as Hari's driving sent them barreling down the road, trash cans being knocked over as the Suv drifted past the neighbors houses. Walls came mere feet away from the suv's side as Hari drove across the sidewalks. The car jumped and rocked along the grass and the curbs before suddenly spinning around in a near endless loop. I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, fueled Hayato's screams as the van's rear end swung closer to a brick wall with each spin. Suddenly, the car was no longer spinning and instead was zooming down the road. Hayato gripped the edge of his seat, as he watched the landscape outside the driver's window was getting smaller. They were going backwards! The driver wasn't watching the road, I don't want to die!

Hari hummed as he spun the car back around. The kids in the back gave relieved sighs and Hari grinned. There was a drawbridge in a few more miles...It should still be under construction...

Hayato noticed the construction workers, outside the window. As they continued on, road signs and caution lights began popping up everywhere. There was one sign that made his blood run cold. Bridge Closed for Construction.

Hayato stole a glance out the window, it was a draw bridge. A raised drawbridge. Hari drove past the signs and road blocks. Hayato felt the suv tilt as they went up the bridge. Faster and faster, and faster still. As they drove straight off the bridge, and began falling, he screamed. The was no more road, we're all going to die! Down, down, down the car fell until it hit the other side of the bridge and Hari sent the vehicle crashing through a wall.

Takeshi sat frozen in his seat with a half hysterical grin on his face. Ryohei kept muttering 'too extreme,' with a half crazed gleam in his eyes. Lambo, the lucky brat, was excitedly asking to 'do it again'. Takeshi just sat there, calmly breathing as he realized he was still alive. As he sat there, he absently noticed a professionally dressed woman had crawled onto the hood of the car. She knocked on the window, and Hari cheerfully waved at her. The wall had a hole, where the car now sat, but the car itself was undamaged. Takeshi blinked before he took a deep breath. I am alive, I'm okay. I'm alive.

Meanwhile the woman had pulled out a white board and some markers.

Is everyone okay? She had written. Hari glanced to the back, smiled, then gave the woman a thumbs up. She nodded, erased the board and wrote again.
