Chapter 3: Road Trip Issues
Aaron
"JENNY STOP CHEATING!""I'M NOT CHEATING!"
"LIAR!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!"
Aphmau erupts into laughter next to me at Katelyn's reaction to Cathy and Jenny's argument.
"This is funny to you?" I ask.
"Yes." She nods.
"Guys we have a problem." Vylad says.
"What now?" Katelyn groans.
"Lucinda turned Garroth into a cat." Zane sighs.
"It's not my fault he can't tell the difference between a cat potion and juice!" Lucinda protests.
"Meow!" Garroth exclaims.
"Can you change him back?" Kawaii~chan asks.
"It'll wear off in a few hours. I don't have an anti-potion on me." Lucinda replies.
Whack!
"Stop glaring at each other!" Betty orders, to Cathy and Jenny I assume. The said two yelp in sync. Aphmau starts laughing again.
"Are we there yet?" Katelyn asks.
"No." I retort.
"Geez, someone's in a bad mood." She sighs.
"Road rage." Aphmau says, giggling. "That, or the passengers."
"That's why I'm not driving." Katelyn sighs.
I grab my headphones, and put them on.
It doesn't do much against the noise.
Aphmau
This is fricken hilarious.Aaron has his headphones on, and he looks so mad it's funny.
I pull put my phone, and start filming so I can put it on my channel.
Yes, I run a channel. Got a problem with it?
"Hey everyone," I say quietly into my phone, "currently, I'm on a road trip with my friends for school, and it's hilarious. Aaron, our driver, is not happy." I giggle, and point the phone at Aaron. He raises an eyebrow at me.
I turn the phone back, to see everyone.
"JENNY YOU F-" I covered the microphone quickly and Cathy swears. "CHEATER!"
"I'M NOT CHEATING CATHY! WHY ARE YOU SO CONVINCED OF THAT?!" Jenny yells.
"BECAUSE YOU KEEP WINNING!" Cathy retorts.
"Don't mind the three blurred out faces. I did that to respect the three girl's privacy." I say.
"SOMEBODY GET GARROTH OFF THE COUNTER!" Katelyn yells. I point the camera at the ginger cat scrambling around on the counter.
"Garroth confused one of Lucinda's potions for juice, incase your wondering." I say.
"We don't have long enough arms Katelyn!" Zane retorts.
"I'll go get him." Kawaii~chan says, turning into a cat. Pink with black ears and tail. She leaps over, and meows at Garroth.
"Kawaii~chan, that's not helping!" Katelyn groans. Kawaii~chan hisses at her, and pushes Garroth off the counter, before leaping back into her seat and turning back. Garroth turns back into a human, laying on the floor. He looks around confused.
"When's the next stop?!" Vylad calls.
I glance at Aaron.
"What?" He asks, taking his headphones off.
"When's the next stop?" I ask.
"Right now." He replies. The vehicle slows down, and he pulls into a gas station parking lot. Once we've parked, everyone undoes their seat belts and gets out.
"And that's all for now. Don't expect any updates for a while. Bye!" I turn off my camera.
"Finally! How much longer?" Katelyn asks, once we're all outside. I pull out the map, and look at it. I know hwto use maps, but I can't tell where we are.
"Uh..."
"Aph, your holding it upside down..." Aaron says.
My face heats up, and I turn it over. Now I can see.
"Okay, we're here." I put my finger on the spot where we are, "and we need to go here." I trace a line to the destination. "So we still have a few hours I think."
"We should be able to make it without another stop, as long as everyone's capable of staying put long enough. And if Garroth doesn't confuse a potion for juice again." Aaron says.
"Since when did you talk?" Cathy demands.
"What do you mean?" I ask her, tilting my head.
"This guy," she shoves a finger in Aaron's direction, "has never said a word to anyone unless necessary. Why the hell is he talking now?"
"Are you getting into fights again too?" I ask Aaron.
"No." He replies.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Jenny asks.
"Aaron was basically a delinquent in high school. Always getting into fights, not talking to anyone. I lost count of the amount of times he got detention." Vylad says.
"Worse then Zane~kun." Kawaii~chan agrees.
"I was not that bad." Zane retorts.
"No, you weren't. Almost though, until Aphmau befriended you." Garroth says.
"I'm still not sure how that happened, but if you can get through to Aaron, you can do anything I guess." Katelyn sighs.
"Hey!" Aaron glares at her.
"Relax Aaron, she's teasing." I shove him lightly.
"Well, I'm glad your talking now." Betty smiles.
"Hard to do something like this without talking." Aaron mutters.
"Anyway, let's all use the washroom, and get back on the road." I say.
Everyone nods, and we split up to do whatever we need to do.
After I've used the washroom, I go with Garroth to get some snacks.
"Hey, if you went into water as a cat, would you become a cat fish?" I ask him.
"Excuse me?" He asks.
"Cause your a merman, but you were a cat earlier. So if you went into the water, would you become a cat fish?" I ask.
"Oh my Irene Aph... you think of the most ridiculous things." He laughs.
"It's a serious question!" I exclaim.
"Like how your theory about Zane being a crab is because he's crabby, is serious?" Garroth asks.
"It was!" I retort. He laughs.
"Whatever. Just remember to stay out of the water." He sighs.
"You to." I reply, as we exit the gas station.
"At least I can be in the water for a while before turning." He says.
"Oh shush!" I shove him lightly, while we climb back into the motorhome.
I put the snacks down on the table, and grab a bag of doritos and two bottles of pop, both Poopsi. Garroth sits down, while I head back to my seat.
"One of those for me?" Aaron asks.
"No, I'm going to drink them both." I say sarcastically.
"As if. You can't drink more then one a day without feeling sick." He replies, grabbing one of the bottles from me. I scoff playfully and sit down.
Then we're back on the road.
