I missed you I thought as I started up the engine. It purred as the engine came to life. This is probably the greatest car in the world. It might look like dog poop, but it is the coolest car ever. It is the only car that is invisible to humans. Plus it has an ipod dock with ipod included. The car has beautiful interior. That is such a lie.

The interior was cheap leather with 70’s red carpet in the inside.Which makes sense, since it is from the 70’s. The dashboard has a hawaiian girl with a chainsaw in her hand. Don’t ask. There are two front seats and an ugly torn apart bench styled seat. The bench seat had one large seat belt that extends from one side to the other. The front seats had a ropes for seatbelts. This car wasn’t the impala but it was just as good, even better.

While I checked my mirrors (I wanna be safe, even though I never am), Emma and Artemis piled in the car. I could hear them arguing over who gets to sit shotgun. They are like kids  I thought while shaking my beautiful head. When they finally sat down and got quiet, I looked back. Artemis was in the back and Emma in the front. I made sure they had their seat belt or rope on. I tied my rope to me and floored it.

We were zooming through the freeway like crazy. Weaving through traffic like a madman. Yet not once did I crash into anyone. But Artemis was still terrified. I could see her in my mirror, her face pale white and clenching onto the leather. If she got any paler she would have been a ghost.

On the other hand Emma was fine. She was actually enjoying this, just like in driver’s ed. She acted like it was a roller coaster.  Yelling “Ohh “ every time I weaved through a car. She was having a blast, the smile on her face was so big, her face could have ripped.

After a few minutes of crazy driving, I asked a question,”Where are we going?”

“What you don’t know where you're going?” said Emma shocked

“Yes and no. I know where are final destination is but not how we are getting there.” I replied

“Go to LAX. We will take a plan from there.” said Artemis

“But you can’t take your weapons on board.” I said

“The guards won’t notice them.” said Artemis

“If you say so. To LAX we go.” I yelled, then I flipped a switch and we went even faster. Maybe 1000 miles per hour maybe more. This time Artemis and Emma fainted from the G-force of going so fast. Yet somehow I did not. The car is magical.

After about 20 minutes of driving, we arrived at the LAX. When I finally found us a parking spot (I parked in a empty warehouse) I got out of the car. The girls were still sleeping so I thought I would have a little fun. I summoned my sword and hit the hood of the car with the flat part. It struck making a very loud noise but not enough to dent my awesome car.

Artemis made a moaning noise and mumbled “Nice try.”

Emma on the other hand, woke up quickly, but sadly not afraid. Her eyes popped open, looking like bug eyes. She sat up straight quicker than I thought possible. “I am guessing we are here?” she said without a single hint of grogginess.

“Man, you guys don’t get scared like Britney.” I said very disappointed. At my little comment,  Artemis chuckled.

“What is so funny?” asked Emma as a result of Artemis’s chuckle.

I think chuckles are contagious because I started to. I tried to stop but I couldn’t. “It is an inside joke” I was able to say before my chuckle turned into laughing hysterically. My laughing caused Artemis’s chuckle to evolve into a laugh with constant snorting. If anyone was nearby, they would have thought there was a pig or two, in the warehouse.
