"I'd like to feed them to the banshee right now, but short of that, I'm stuck with'em." Bran groused.
"Not a chance, Brannie!" Marian stuck out her tongue.
Ethan hadn't said much while this was going on, but finally, he muttered a few words and Marian finally found herself blessed with a muzzle around her jaws, "MMMMPH!"

"And lets get you two home," Phoenix said nudging Sheila. "Your father would like to know what you have planned."
"Alright, Mom." Chase said and waved to his cousins as they worked their way home. "See ya guys in the morning."
Phoenix nudged the door open. "Hun, it was them coming into town. And I already gave him a talking to. And you should hear what he and his cousins have planned." She said with a grin.

Arista was snickering, "At least that shut her up. Good going."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as Cerisa was taken home, the teen Bonneville/Firebird mix rushed inside all excited, "Mom! Dad! Guess what? My cousins are going to go on a road trip with their friends! Can I go too?"
Sapphire, a middle-aged Firebird with racing mods, who was visiting her husband between seasons, turned as her daughter came in, "Hon, what are you talking about? What road trip?"
"A road trip on Route 66 all the way to Chicago!" Cerisa exclaimed excitedly, "Can I go, please?"
"Better ask your father," said Sapphire, then she called out, "Hon, our daughter wants to go on a road trip with her cousins and their friends. Do you think she should go?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A purple, modified Dodge Viper looked up when Phoenix, Chase, and Sheila came in. "Oh, really? And what's that?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as Ebony and the twins returned home, Justin was already up in his room, playing hip-hop music. This annoyed the twins and brought a bit of stress on his mother.
"Justin, honey?" she called, "You'd better turn that music off now. It's time to go to sleep."
"I don't want to!" Justin shouted back.
Ebony turned to the twins, "You two better get to your rooms. I'll take care of this."
"Are you sure, Mom?" asked Maven, "I know what too much stress does to you and that scares us."
"I know, but I'll be fine," answered Ebony tiredly, "Go to bed now."
"Okay, Mom," the twins chorused again and went to their rooms.

"I don't see why not," Kitt, a red Bonneville, said pulling in. "The older ones are going to right?"
~~~~~
"A road trip," Chase said with a grin. "On Route 66 to Chicago with the other. Krill, Mave, and Hideki are going. Before we have to go back to school."
"I thinks to good idea." Phoenix said. "The twins are pretty good at keeping him out of trouble."
"But I can't go," Sheila pouted. "Mom says I have to wait."

"Yeah," Cerisa nodded, "Maven, Krill, Chase, and Hideki are going."
"That's good," said Sapphire, "At least thye'll keep you out of trouble. I guess it's okay to let you go. But you have to stay with them, okay? I don't want you getting lost."
"Sure, Mom," Cerisa playfully bumped her mother's and father's fenders, "Thanks."
"When are you guys leaving?" asked Sapphire.
"Early tomorrow morning," replied Cerisa, "but we're all going to have breakfast at Flo's before we leave."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony waited for a few minutes before she went over to Justin's room and knocked on the door with her antenna, "Justin, Sweetie?"
"Go away!" a hurt voice called back.
This response made Ebony even more concerned for her youngest son, "Justin, I can't. Can you let me in?"
"No!"
"Why not?" asked Ebony.
"Just go away, Mom," Justin called, "I don't feel like talking right now. Maybe tomorrow."
"Okay," sighed Ebony, "I won't push you. Goodnight."
The Viper turned from Justin's door and heads back to her own bedroom where her husband, an aging throwback Mustang, was resting from a recent axle injury that he had acquired during a Grind session with his friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boost chuckles and snugs his daughter, "That's because you're not old enough to drive on your own yet. You have to wait a couple of more years."

Marian was one unhappy camper right now as she glared at Bran and Ethan through the muzzle. Shane took one look at her and at Ethan and joined her in silence.
"Hey, that looks good on you. Maybe you should keep wearing it." Bran laughed. "Thanks, Ethan. I owe ya one."
Ethan just... smiled.
"So..." Bran came up to Arista, stopping about twenty feet short. "Got any plans for tonight?"

Arista shook her head and smiled at Bran, "I don't know. How about a little night flight?"

"That gives us the chance to wish you off." Kitt said. "And you'll have fun."
~~~~~
"Still," Sheila said. "Chase gets to go have fun on an adventure."
"But you'll get to hang out at the track," Phoenix said. "And then maybe we'll do something fun before the next race, just the three of us." She looked up at Boost. "What do you think?"
(((And I have to work, I should be back around 7, hopefully, feel free to puppet.)))

"That sounds... all right." Bran smiled, a little nervously. He hadn't expected her to take the bait this fast.

Justin waited until he knew his mother was not in front of his bedroom door anymore. He carefully turned the nob and peeked out into the darkened hallway. There was nobody else about, so that means that they were all asleep.
Good, he thought, That means that I can slip out without anyone knowing that I left.
The young Viper slipped out of his room as quietly as he could and padded down the hallway until he came to the front door where he opened it in the same manner as he did his bedroom door and shut it quietly. He stole down the driveway and onto the street, trying to avoid Sheriff Teague. Justin was in luck, because the Skyline was busy with one of his deputies.
He made his way out onto the backroads and made his way up toward Tailfin Pass.
~~~~~
Ebony had been sleeping when she woke to the slight sounds of the front door opening and closing. She became alert and rose on her tires silently. She knew that she had heard someone pad down the hallway even while she was asleep - her tuner senses were still sharp even though she was nearing 40 - and open and close the front door.
Not wanting to disturb her recovering husband, Ebony padded out into the hallway and looked around. That was when she saw Justin's bedroom door open and the young Viper was not inside. Where did he go?
She became worried and looked out the front door, but also didn't see her son. He must of used on of her tuner techniques to sneak away unnoticed, which he probably learned from her.
Ebony left the house to go and search for her runaway son...

Phoenix slowly woke up, she was sensing trouble brewing thanks to her powers she learned of seventeen years ago. Something was wrong with her youngest nephew.
"Boost, wake up." She nudged him roughly. "I'm picking up somethings happened with Justin. I think he's trying to run away."

"Ow," Boost snapped awake quickly, one of the responses that he had learned while living on the streets. He, too, could sense that something was not right, but it wasn't with magic, it was from his still sharp tuner senses.
"What? Justin's trying to runaway? Doesn't he know he'll worry Ebony sick?" asked Boost, "Dammit! We have to go after him."

"Just a minute..." Ethan rose on his skids, adressing Maven and Krill. "Something's up with your mom and brother."

"I know. He's still blaming himself for what happened for Ebs. He's guilty for how long she relapsed." Phoenix said getting up off their mat and pulling out of their bedroom and went to Chase's room. "Chase sweetie, I need you to wake up."
The teenager slowly woke up, "Wha' i' 't?" He grumbled.
"We need you to watch Sheila for a bit," Phoenix said. "Somethings happened and we need to go help."
Chase yawned and nodded "Alrigh'..."
Phoenix smiled and turned to Boost, "Lets go."

Krill looked concerned, while Maven was trying to focus on her mother's and younger brother's auras. "I think they're somewhere up on Tailfin Pass."
"I think Justin's still blaming himself for causing Mom to relapse for a month and half after he was born," said Krill, "I just know he's going to try something dangerous. We have to go find him."
~~~~~
Boost nodded and left the house, picking up the scent trail of his sister and younger nephew.
