Dominique hugged Jin back just as tightly and smiled. He honestly could not wait to take her to meet his parents. They were wonderful people, and never did they judge a person by a first impression. The only problem was that they only spoke French. Dominique would have to play interpreter, has he always had to do when bringing friends over. Sighing happily, he decided to worry about that later. "I do not know. Perhaps because I did not know for certain if you felt the same way that I did. I had suspected, but never was I sure until now." He smiled broadly at her and gave her an eskimo kiss, rubbing his nose against hers and laughing. Nothing could take this moment away from his memory, not even a sudden burst of amnesia or permanent memory loss of any sort. He locked it away in that safe, special part of his memory to keep it there forever.


Tell me you will be true forever baby
I just can't stop dreaming of you
Everyday, every way
Say you love me baby
Say you will always be mine

With a funny suspicion that all passengers had entered, the petite female plopped back into the driver's seat, pulled the rod to close the door and buckled herself in. She, being the first one up, was showered and dressed. Today's outfit was fairly simple, consisting of a koala tee shirt, a dark vest, black shorts with suspenders to match. Her red curls were crazily twisting, as she let them air-dry trying not to wake anyone that needed their rest. Roxanne was fully aware that many of the passengers were already antsy, dying for some time to stretch their legs. So, she figured that if they could get to Missouri by the end of the day, they'd pick up the final members of their road trip, and perhaps go out clubbing tonight. Of course, she knew that Ian had a club in New Jersey rented out for Sam's big birthday bash, but there wasn't anything as too much dancing. Although she was horrible at it, Roxxie loved to dance. Simply watching other people dance made her stomach bubble over with delight, and feel proud of them. It wasn't for any special reason, just sort of an almost mother-like pride.

And as she was mulling over her plans for that night, the girl got the bus moving once again. They couldn't stay in one area for too long, they needed to get to New Jersey by tomorrow evening. Thus their journey continued, and Annie switched on the radio, and promptly began flipping through the channels for something that suited her mood. Even in the morning, the twenty year old was chipper, and finally found a station she liked and began humming along softly. Turning onto the I-80, the girl steered the group towards a state called Missouri.

♥But with every word, you're getting closer to hell, jester.♥

Nairi raised his blue eyes from his now empty soapy hands and fell upon the female, who was now rinsing off his dishes. He didn't really know why she suddenly wanted to be around him, but one quick peek around the eating area told him enough. While he was focusing on his plans of redeeming himself to the attendants of the road trip, the Brit had gone and disappeared somewhere. A sudden thought flew into the Armenian's mind, before he shoved it away again. 'Maybe he went and did us a favor and decided that he was needed in England. If that's really where he's from. That accent's probably fake. Fake-yyy.' But then, just as the words passed through his mind, even as briefly as it was, he realized he shouldn't have said any such thing. After all, he too, wasn't the most genuine person. The boy shoved his hands in the running water to rid them of suds and wiped them.

The Dadian replied, keeping his voice as even as possible, "No, I'm fine. You didn't do anything. Just groggy." It was a lame excuse, but the only thing he could think of that could possibly be the reason for his silence.

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here

Nessa stared at Nairi for a moment. The boy was hard to understand, although she couldn't pinpoint just what it was about him. "Well, you should go back to sleep then, silly. There's nobody on the top level except I think my brother. But he won't bother you. If I know him, he's still asleep." She shrugged her shoulders casually, showing that she was just making suggestions. Part of her didn't want him to go back to sleep. She liked being around him. Although, he didn't seem to want to be around her very much.

Tell me who should I be
To make you love me?
Tell me what does it mean to be alone?
Can’t you see me standing, staring,
Out from a distance?
Hear my cry if you’d only listen.

Jin sat on one of the beds, her back to the wall and her face buried inside a book. A pair of headphones were in her ears sending soft music through her ears. She was enveloped inside her own world, completely oblivious to the world around her. Her legs were crossed, and the book rested gently in her lap with her fingers occasionally flipping a page. Her behavior wasn't quite as hyperactive as everybody else's. Everybody else seemed so pumped up about clubbing and things of that nature, but Jin was just as content lost inside a book. Although, a part of her was growing bored.

”Blinded by the light,
Hold you through forever.
Won‘t let you go.
If you jump, I will jump too.
We will fall together.”

Dominique stepped quietly up the stairs. Jin had disappeared up there a few hours ago, and he was beginning to wonder what was keeping her attention. He peeked his head up the steps and thought he spotted Jin's silhouette through the curtains. Sneakily, he climbed the rest of the steps and tiptoed to the bed Jin was sitting on. Silently, he sat down next to her, put his arm around her, and turned her head to look at him. "Hello Miss Jinny. I have missed you in these few hours that we were apart." And without asking this time, he smiled and kissed her quickly on the lips.

Jin folded the book closed and placed it over to the side. She reached up and pulled the headphones away from her ears, allowing them to fall on top of the book. "I have only been up here reading a book," she replied, pointing towards the book before giving him a quick kiss in return. "And have you ever been told you're a romantic?" Thinking about it, she was pretty sure he had. After all, he was French. Wasn't being romantic part of the French stereotype?

”I can’t keep up.
And I can’t back down.
I’ve been losing so much time.
Cause it’s you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it’s you and me and all of the people
And I don’t know, I can’t keep my eyes off you.”

Dominique laughed and nodded, settling next to his Korean girlfriendon the bed, his arm still across her shoulders. "Yes Miss Jinny, I have been told as such. I do believe it is because I am French." He laughed to show that the last part was a joke. The first part was true, Dominique had been told he was very romantic. And once, he had been asked if he was romantic because he was French. That was what the joke came from. Either way, he sighed happily, leaning his head over to rest on Jin's. This trip would be a happy one, full of excitement and things to do. And somehow, Dominique felt that the end of the trip would be sad. He had a feeling he'd make a lot of friends.

Kyoshi Mitsui stood on a streetcorner in the outer suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri. He was waiting for a large double-decker bus to appear from the highway turnoff and whisk him off to be with his friends. Then suddenly, it was there. He waved his arms wildly and the bus pulled over, slowing to a stop halfway down the block. Sighing, he slung his duffel bag higher onto his shoulder and dashed down the sidewalk, pausing beside the door to the bus. When it didn't open, he knocked loudly. "Hello hello hello? Ian? Someone? OH COME ON DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!" He grumbled and knocked again a few times before stepping back and folding his arms across his chest and waiting, tapping his foot impatiently.

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favourite things
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Cree drifted further into her daydream, gazing at the scenery through the window. But, the tranquility of her mind went away as she heard a knocking at the bus. She looked through the window, trying to see if it were anyone she recognized. It didn't look like it, it was just some guy whom might've been friends with Ian or Sam. But, rather than leave the guy out there, and since no one else seemed to notice; Cree went to greet the boy. After all, she could only take so much knocking and whining. Plus it was another chance to get to know someone. Hopefully, this time she wouldn't screw it up. She unlocked the door of the bus, letting the newest guest enter. "Hey there, you missed the bus? Come in. Make yourself comfy. I'm Cree. Oh, here let me get your bag for you, you must be tired of carrying it." She took the bag from the boy, and motioned him to step inside. "So did you really think we'd leave you?" She gave him a small smirk.

Jin leaned against her boyfriend, resting her eyes for a moment. She vaguely wondered where they were. The bus had stopped moving some time ago, although she had been far wrapped into her book to care enough to go downstairs. The only thing had had brought her out of her own little world was the boy that was on the bed in the far part of the level. His name had been Niko if she was correct.

"That's Nessa's brother," she stated rather pointlessly, tilting her head towards the boy, "He's going downstairs though. So I guess it'll be just you and me up here for a bit." Her eyes followed the other male as he wandered downstairs.

[[yay godmoding. But I have to go now D:]]

”I can’t keep up.
And I can’t back down.

Dominique nodded to the boy as he passed, and then turned back to his new girlfriend. He wasn't particularly certain where they were going other than the fact that their final destination was a club. And that club was supposed to be in New Jersey. But Jersey was a ways away, and the day was still light. That, and Dominique was now alone with Jin. He smiled. "Is there anything that you would like to do while we are alone, Miss Jinny?" There was no perverted or sexual hint in that statement. It was merely a question asking Jin what she wanted to do. If she wanted to read, that was fine. If she wanted to merely be held, that was fine too. Anything was fine with him, really. Except maybe going 'too far' so to speak. He didn't feel quite ready for that, and he was positive that neither did she. So all things considered, they could do anything that they wanted. He waited, smiling, for her answer.


These words will be here
To ease every fear and dry up every tear
And make it very clear, I kiss you and I know
It is love from the first
Time I pressed my lips against yours
Thinking, 'Oh, is it love?'

Kyoshi raised an eyebrow at the pink-haired girl who responded to his knocking on the door. She'd just taken his bag. What had she said her name was? Cree? He shrugged and shook his head, laughing slightly at what she said. He walked onto the bus before responding, taking his duffel back from Cree. His guitar case was slung onto his back and his duffel was now clutched back in one of his hands. He smiled pleasantly at Cree. "If I had been left behind, Ian would have had hell to pay, and more. Thanks for opening the door. I'm Kyoshi, call me Kyo." With that, he gave the girl a salute and walked off toward the kitchen, hoping to find Ian. He set his duffel just inside, leaving his guitar on his back. "Is anyone in here?" He looked around and saw a staircase toward the back, as well as someone coming downstairs. He breathed a sigh of relief. With luck, this person wouldn't try and take his stuff from him. That's what had annoyed him about Cree; she'd just up and taken his bag without really waiting for him to say 'sure, take it.'

I've become tired
Of Wasting my time
Thinkin' about choices
That I've made
Cause I can't move forward
While looking behind
The only thing I can do now is change the way
That I use to be

Cree nodded and and uttered a small "You're welcome and it's nice to meet you." She thought that she was being courteous by taking his bag for him, but obviously Kyo thought differently. Strike two for Cree.This whole 'getting to know people' thing wasn't going too well for her. "Maybe I come across too strong?" She pondered. Cree sighed and sat against the door and saluted in return to the boy as he left. Maybe me coming here was a mistake?

[[we're going to pretend he was there the days that we didn't post. XD]]

A fairly skinny Korean/Portuguese mixed boy made his way down the stairs of the bus clad in a pair of skinny jeans and a 'The Rocket Summer' band tee-shirt. His black hair went every which way from his lack of combing it. He walked by another foreign appearing male. Of course, Ian was Japanese and therefore would have foreign friends. Shrugging the thoughts off, he cracked open the refrigerator. A red Vault was hidden away in the back corner. Niko had placed it there the day before. He yanked the bottle out of the fridge and took a sip, leaning his thin frame against the sink.

"Hey new guy," he said, waving slightly before allowing his hand to fall again.

It’s not always rainbows and butterflies.
It’s compromise.
My heart is full, and my door is always open.
You come anytime you want.
