((Yes. XDD This should be fun.))
"I... Well, I'm not sure. I never originally had any intention of joining a band, but when he found me it seemed like a good idea." The Hummer shrugged. He wasn't used to talking this much - as he'd learned over the past few years, drummers seemed to always be in the background. And he was quiet naturally, anyway. He glanced at the trailer and then jumped in surprise as Buddy spoke up. "I'm working /for/ them. Not that that really matters... I'm not in the band. I wouldn't be even if I could - I prefer country music." _________________________
Elke shook her front slightly. "No... Luxembourg is an independent country. It's just... small." She shrugged again. "They did... things... to me." She shuddered slightly now, hoping that Lynda wouldn't ask for an explanation.

Shroder continued his teasing.
"Yup. Dey are, man. Dey've bee'n pretteh cuddleh an' stuffz. It'z loike dey've bee'n wel'de'd tageth'r. I can 'ere dem in derr trail'r sumtim'z, man. Dey're quoite an ite'm, man," said Shroder being even more mischevious.
He grinned.
"Da reaz'n why 'ee luv'z Exan-gurl 'cauze she mak'z him happeh, man. Oh! An' ya shoul'd'ov 'ear'd Sonya-gurl'z predic'ti'n! I waz list'n in," said Shroder, "but I'll let ya figu'r dat out fer yarself."

Xeron closed her eyes and followed Rico's instructions. She began visualizing everything he told her about. Her guns finally stopped being tense. When she opened her eyes, she noted that they had gone back to normal without preening.
"It worked! They aren't every which way anymore. Thank you... uh... I didn't catch your name. What was it?" said Xeron.

Ebony looked at Slaytor for a moment, debating what she wanted to say. Or if she wanted to say it at all. Then she finally decided to say it.
"You're not bothered... by me being in term..?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emily was growing even angrier. Finally, not being about to stand Shroder's teasing, she picked a nearby solid object and threw it at the tow truck, just to make him shut up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lynda looked sympathetically at Elke, seeing her expression.
"Everything's going to be alright, Hon," she reassured the Akura girl, "there's people here who'll protect you."
It was then that Mater came up.
"Well, hey, Mrs. The King," Mater gave Lynda a friendly smile, "Looks like ya got a new friend there."
Lynda smiled at Mater.
"Mater, this is Elke," Lynda introduced them, "Elke, this is Mater. He's very friendly once you get to know him better."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I have their contacts in my onboard comm system," replied Hydro, "I'm sure I can locate them."

Breakbead nods, "It's not fun dealing with him like this right?"
---
"Rico" He said with a smile.
---
Slaytor just smiles and nuzzles agaisnt her. "How should that change anything?"

But when I heard the screech of tires and saw you take off," explained Ebony, "I thought it was because of that."

Elke turned herself slightly so as to get a better view of Mater. She looked him over for a moment, figured out what he was herself, for once, and then began to talk. "Hi." She paused before continuing. "I know what you are. You're a truck!" SHe giggled slightly and looked up at him again. "But what is that in the back of you?" She lifted an eyeshade slightly, leaning a bit closer to the tow truck. ______________________
"He's an idiot, yes," Buddy agreed, sighing and backing up a bit to look at the two band members. Apparently they'd finished their argument, for Jimmie was storming off to go sit in the lower level of the trailer, and Derek was speeding off towards town. He didn't stop, either, until he got to the end of the street in town. He pressed himself against a building and tried to get a hold of himself, his breath coming in shuddering gasps. He ought to just leave the band right then and there... He was fed up with Jimmie's crap.
((XD))

"GYAH! OW! No violence! Eep!" Shroder yelped.
He was about to peel off when he just made one more verbal jam.
"Sonya-gurl sayz dat derr'z goin' ta stay tageth'r an' dat derr'z goin' ta be ah lil' Exan on da whey sum tim'e in twoh yea'rz!" Shroder teased.
It was a lot like pestering an irritable combine. Emily looked like she was going to explode.
I'm a dead man now! Uh-oh... too much teasing!
"Er... see yah!" said Shroder quickly as he peeled out of there.
(OOC: I'm picturing that famous Indiana Jones scene where Indy's being chased by that boulder.... XD )

Slaytor nods, "Well... I did have my moment of doubt. I went out to Willie's to meditate on it, and realized that you're the same girl I came to love."
Rico smiles, "Oh sorry, Former Sergeant Jimmy Rico. I'm getting paid to shuttle Zed, that 57 Chevy you've seen running around, and his racing team around for a couple weeks. I've been used for evac, assault and cargo hauling so far." He grins

"Hm! So that explains it. As for me, I've been caltroped out of a home. A pair of fix-wing girls dropped caltrops all over it and I can't live there anymore unless they clean it up," said Xeron.

(((((OOC: I have a cat that's being cute and cuddly right now so I may find it difficult to type and post. XD )))))
Mater chuckled and brought his tow hook out and dangled it in front of him. "Why, this here's muh trusty tow hook. I use to latch onto things like cars and haul them inta Doc's ta get repairs."
He smiles at Elke and leaned a bit closer, "Say, do ya wanna go tractor tippin' with me? It's fun."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emily narrowed her eyes after Shroder as he fled, then settled down to think. Now she was really determined to get Slick back. There was no way she was going to let him stay with that useless Shooter mutt.
(((((OOC: Yep, Emily hates Shooters...)))))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meredith had to pull back when Shroder passed her hiding place. She decided to see what was up.
"Hey, Shroder," she called, "Why don't you slow down? She's not chasing you now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm scared," Ebony admitted, "This being in term thing is very new to me and I don't know what to do or how to cope with it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking over to where the helos, especially that Apache, Petra leans over to Otter, "You get the feeling she still hates us for that?"

Tex gave his wheels an experimental shake, one by one. Wellington had done a perfect job.
"Reckon I'll settle up now." He gave the forklift a generous tip on top of that.
Ondine quietly excused herself when Slaytor came in. Darcy and Johnny showed up with some takeout for Ebony, saw that she had company, and set it down in front of her before taking their leave. "See you later."
Lynda watched as she got acquainted with Mater. At the back of her mind, the phrase "did things to me" was making rather unpleasant pictures in her mind. What had this child been through?
Veronica looked over to Xeron and Rico and just... smiled.

Wellington grinned wide, "Thankye sir! Glad to have yer patronage." (sorry bout that, ) --- Slaytor smiled and gave her a nudge. "You're not alone. You have me, and your family, and my team, and almost the whole town on your side." --- Rico blinks, "I think I saw those two mischief makers around before. I'm sorry you're stuck here, It's not a bad little town, just outta the way." He looks down at his drink, he'd completely forgotten about it, and it'd gone tepid. He chuckles and takes another drink.

(OOC: I can see a huge cat fight between Kamui and Emily! XD Speaking of cats, I KNOW that feeling of cuddly cats! XD )
Shroder slowed down at Meredith's voice. He didn't like her either, but at least she was civil. He turned to face her.
"Oi... whotcha want?" said Shroder.
____________________________________________
Otter nodded.
"I rec'n dat she'z still ah lil' PO'd, Petrah. She loo'kz ah bit PO'd ta me," said Otter.

"Yeah, and me too. Can't we do anything fun without the helos ruining it for us?" said Petra.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony nodded, smiling a bit.
"I have to be careful now," she said, "No more racing for me for awhile. And this is gonna get tougher for me as the months pass... I won't be able to do much... and it would be really bad for me during the winter because I need real shelter instead of these tents."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Who was that girl you were trying to tease anyway?" asked Meredith, "She sounds to me like she can't let go of what really isn't hers in the first place."

Elke pondered over this for a moment. She had no clue what Mater was talking about, but it didn't really matter... "Okay. I don't know what that is, but okay." She giggled a bit. She rather liked Mater - he was nice.
