(I'm just going to RP Boone and Claire randomly in this post so that we can move the dinner along and hope that they don't mind)
"So you've never been to the states?" Boone said finally. He caught sight of the glare that Sawyer was giving Sayid and tried to start conversation once more.
"No. I was on my way there obviously but we crashed." Sayid replied.
"I've never been there either." Claire added, delicately sucking on a piece of fruit.
"Well, then the four of us can...I don't know. Go traveling around then..." Shannon said, aware that she was repeated her previous comment. " It'd be fun...kind of like a road trip."
'I've never been on a 'road trip' either..." Sayid laughed, glad that he knew the slang for once.
"That's ridiculous. Road-trips are like...apart of growing up." Shannon said incredulously. Boone nodded.
"Even I went on one with some friends. I really gives you a persepective, you know? On your own with people you care about, no parents, fend for yourselves...I mean, we're obviously grown up now...well most of us." He shot a look in Shannon's direction who promptly glared. " And we'll have more money but the principle is the same." He handed Claire a small berry and popped it between her lips. He could practically feel Sawyer rolling his eyes, sure that was what the conman was doing.
" Have you ever gone on a road-trip?" Shannon asked, adressing Sawyer and Heather.
