►►►►►►►►►►►►♫♛♫◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄  Practically kicking Mark out the door, Emile turns to lock the door when the youngest member of their group ran past him, pushing it away from his hands. Sighing, he waves Mark towards the bus. "I got her. You go make sure everything's where it's supposed to be." as badly as he wanted to leave her there, it would be much more difficult with the other two both awake, and Mark double checking everything. Entering the house, he looks about at their lovely Man Cave; they'd be away for quite a while this time. Most of their stuff remained where it was, and where it would remain for the next few months. Moving through the house, he tries to find where she would have gone. She wasn't in the bathroom, the kitchen, the living room... that left Tom's room. He hadn't been down their since the accident, and he stood at the top of the stairs hesitantly.
"Yo, Princess. We're leaving." he stood still a moment, waiting for a response. Hearing the bus start up in the background of the otherwise empty house, he sighs heavily. He really didn't want to go down there, but it seemed the girl needed fetching. Placing his foot on the first step, he takes them quicker than one probably should. Almost tripping at the bottom, he takes an extra step to avoid falling over. "Whoa..." steadying himself with a hand on the wall, he glances around the basement. "Hey, you down here?"

 ==== ☠ ======== ☠ ==== "I am!" She then was going to walk past him. Having her iPod and also her 'Nightmare before Christmas' Drum-Sticks."'scuse me." She said in a somewhat polite tone as she had to walk through the stairs and such. "I'll just take a shower when we get to a hotel room or whenever I get a chance..plus I'll just sleep in the car.." She mumbled to herself but it was loud...a bit. She then got upstairs and then looked back. "We better hurry up before we're late..." She then got back in the bus or...'tour' bus as she then sat down on an empty yet far from the others chair because she didn't really want to do anything right now..she was starting to get a bit homesick very fast now.... Probably because she knew she wasn't going to see her Dad for so long....and she wasn't used to it...really. She was used to a week..but not years...she wondered if he'll be lonely on Christmas...Thanksgiving....or any other holiday.She let out a small tear but it looked like she was just tired. ==== ☠ ======== ☠ ====

►►►►►►►►►►►►♫♛♫◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄ Frowning as she walked past, he waited for her to reach the top of the stairs before turning to look at the room once more. A few of her things were scattered about, but all he could see was the way it had been before. "Hmph." taking the stairs two at a time, he ends up at the top as she exits the front door. Exhaling heavily, he slams the basement door and moves towards the front. "Alright, Man Cave. See you later...." exiting the front door, he turns to lock it. Emile turns to climb onto the bus, closing the door behind him. "Alright, kids. Let's get this show on the road."
He remains standing until the bus is put in motion, falling unceremoniously into the chair Laura had been in earlier. "Man, how long have we been looking forward to this? It's about damn time, if you ask me." he grins, a rare expression of true happiness. Stretching his legs out and crossing them at the ankles, he leans back in his seat. "Get comfy, Princess, we'll be on this thing for the next three days." he calls over to the girl, remembering her shower comment. He hoped she had least had perfume or something; he'd get Mark to talk her into a shower when they stopped for the night. Originally, he hadn't planned on staying at a hotel, but it seemed things had changed. It wouldn't have been a problem for the original four of them to crash wherever wearing whatever; there was a separate room at the back with a bed that two of them could have fit in, but it seemed that it would be sacrificed to their newest member so that she could have some sort of privacy.

==== ☠ ======== ☠ ==== Gee...really wanted to know that.... She thought to herself as she then looked out through the window..it had been a habit for her to do that everytime she was in a vehicle.. just stare at the window.. She then heard the three of them having a conversation... probably talking about the past and such....she sighed and started to listen to her ipod. She would've listened to 'Shadow Rosebuds...' but instead she turned to Evanescences....since her songs fit her mood right now; tired, and homesick.....*TimeSkip* It was nighttime..they were at the car for a long time..maybe more than 12 hours..they left at 8 am...now it was about 9:30 pm. She was just staring at the window all day through the whole drive so far. Some hours she slept..but mostly were watching the window, not even becoming a part of their conversation. She then just watched them..playing videogames, making jokes, getting some fast food here and there.. plus they were planning lyrics...she then got out her notebook to write down some more: She wrote down basically about what her father went through;
She was able to finish it but it felt weird to her. The song was about that even though they were different, they still loved, and yet the lover turned away even though the other fought hard for her/him. No..her.. Her mother. She then laid her head down and closed her eyes a bit..thinking of how the music should sound like. ==== ☠ ======== ☠ ====

►►►►►►►►►►►►♫♛♫◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄ Laughing as Mark trounced Nick for the umpteenth time at Mario Kart, Em leaned back against the front of the chair from his spot on the floor. Pulling a donut from the box in front of him, he begins munching on it when movement caught his eye. Turning, he notes Laura on the other side of the bus with her head down. She'd been distant all day, though he hadn't paid her any attention all day. Shrugging it off, he turns back to his friends as Mark unhappily shoves the controller into his hands. A grin spread across his face as he raced for his life against the bass player, ending with the predictable loss for him. It had been close, but Nick was the undisputed king of racing games. Em tended to win fighting games, but that was mostly because he was the best at smashing buttons quickly instead of actual skill. Handing off the controller to Mark, he glances once again to the girl.
Standing from his place on the ground, he moves across the bus towards her casually. He sighed lightly, wondering why he was doing this. As he reached her, he dropped the box of donuts on the small surface beside her, standing over her with his hands in his pockets. "We're driving late tonight, so you can sleep in the back room." he nods his head towards the back of the bus and the small door to the bedroom. "But if you don't eat something eventually, you'll pass out. Don't expect me to carry you." he frowns at her, turning to go sit back with Mark and Nick. Mark gave him an odd look, but the singer shrugged him off; it was nothing. He only cared about their image, and she would only end up being troublesome at this rate.

==== ☠ ======== ☠ ==== She then shook awake as soon as she then heard the donuts being dropped off on the surface next to her..she must've fallen asleep again. She then sighed as she guessed she hadn't ate anything all day..and it was bad since she was used to eating all the time..even when traveling and getting fast food. She left her notebook full of words she written down on the chair as she got to that bedroom..whatever it was. She then started singing the songs..she sometimes changed the tone or how she says them..softly or a little sadly just to see how it works and what needs to be changed..it probably took about 30 minutes to get the right tone then she then got on that bed or whatever and slept..surprisingly didn't eat anything today...which might be bad..since most of her energy was from food..not from her surroundings or excitement.
"Maybe...I might be able to find my Mom..and give her a piece of my Mind..she'll pay for leaving my Dad like that..." She said a bit loud but the door was closed so she knew no one was going to hear her.. then she closed her eyes and hums the tune to the song she just wrote. ==== ☠ ======== ☠ ====

►►►►►►►►►►►►♫♛♫◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄ Not bothering to look up as she passed by to get to the bedroom, Emile sighs faintly. He had offered to share his donuts, and she had paid them no mind. He supposed he'd at least have some for the morning; they were safe so far away. The guys stayed up an hour or so longer, before Nick inevitably passed out in his chair/bed. Mark ended up on the couch, still fully clothed. Sighing heavily, Emile throws a blanket over each of them before moving up front to instruct their driver to pull over for the night at a rest stop. Letting the record label hired man take the other chair/bed, the singer ends up sprawled across the floor on top of a thicker blanket. Normally he stripped down to his boxers to sleep, but with the girl on board, he threw on a pair of sweatpants for decency. Covering himself with the comforter he had brought from his own bedroom, he settled down for the night on the bus floor.
~Time Skip; Next Morning~
The bus resumed it's moving only an hour after the bus driver himself awoke; he took a short cold shower to clean up, as well as wake up. Starting the coffee maker, he took up his position in the driver's seat. Eventually, both Nick and Mark also awoke and took turns showering. Coffee was passed around, and the three awake men did their best no to step on Emile as he continued to sleep away. The two band mates knew he had barely slept in the week since Tom died, and neither were too keen on waking him up. Soon enough, Mark knocked lightly on the bedroom door to try and awake their female member.

==== ☠ ======== ☠ ==== She felt a bit weak..since she hadn't ate anything at all yesterday...maybe she should've gotten those donuts Em had dropped beside her...damn her and homesickness. She then got up but very slowly since her arms felt a bit numb and such. She also looked a bit tired too..and also the room looked a bit blurry to her. Normally she would wake up being all cheerful and such singing..and crap. But now was not the time..she didn't feel right. She felt like a poor cub being taken away from family and put into a new environment..but she was aware it was her choice to come. She yawns a bit as she had pajamas on; a very loose shirt; two shirts on her to keep warm and very loose pajama pants that had small penguins on them..the color was white with some blue specks on them. She yawned as her hair flowed down; not in pigtails as she normally had them.
"I'm awake....I'm awake...." She croaked as she then took another yawn... "I just need to some time to wake up, not used to traveling for so long..." ==== ☠ ======== ☠ ====

►►►►►►►►►►►►♫♛♫◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄ Mark nodded, seeming satisfied. He turned to walk back towards the front of the bus when he tripped over Emile, landing heavily on top of him. The brunette's eyes flew open in shock and pain, and he rolled his friend off him as lightly as possible. "Damn, Mark. Even a kick would have been better than that." he mumbles, seeming groggy. He lay flat on his back, allowing the pain of another teenage guy falling on him with all his weight pass. "What a wake up call..." he yawns, the movement in his chest causing a sharp pain. "As if I needed another reason to punch you." he half mumbles at the guitarist, slowly standing up. Kicking his blankets to the side, he moved to the bathroom for a hot shower. He could hear the princess in her private room, and figured he might as well get a hot shower while he could.
Em moved faster in the shower than usual, the hot water hitting his chest wasn't helping the massive bruise that was beginning to form there. "Lovely skin comes with a price." he tells himself, joking. Turning the water off, he towels himself off quickly before pulling on a fresh pair of boxers and the same jeans he had worn the other day. Throwing open the bathroom door, he pours himself a lukewarm cup of coffee. "What a nice rest. Thanks for sharing the couch and chairs, guys."

==== ☠ ======== ☠ ==== OH! She forgot they had a shower.. she really needed it. She then got her next clothes as she then was going to the shower after Em got out..since she felt a bit.. 'dirty'.. well not erotic dirty..but you know...stinky. She then got and got int he shower. She then was washing her hair and such. It only took her 10 minutes since she felt the water hit her skin that woke her up automatically. She then was not in her old weird clothing, but actually in nice clothing that was comfortable for movement and any given physical situations... Her clothing was just knee-high socks with a skirt that went down to her knees and she was wearing a jacket that was had dragon designs on it and underneath it was actually a DisneyLand Shirt. It was just for some comfort on the road..nothing special. She then just combed her hair as her hair was down and not up in pigtails like she normally would..it needed to dry anyway. 'Where are we anyway?" ==== ☠ ======== ☠ ====

►►►►►►►►►►►►♫♛♫◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄ Throwing back the dark liquid in his mug, setting it gently in the sink. He'd probably use it later, but it was less likely to go flying from within the sink basin anyway. Glancing up, he frowns a bit as Laura makes her morning appearance. "China." he answers, moving to snatch up his box of donuts from where he had left them near her last night. Selecting one from the box, he takes a large bite out of it to keep from saying anything else. Still not wearing a shirt, he really saw no point in it until they stopped, he glanced around the bus. Mark was shaking his head lightly, while Nick looked amused at the joke. Swallowing the mouthful of donut, he hesitates before taking another bite. "No really. China, Indiana." he took another large bite of donut, shrugging.
They probably weren't in China, Indiana exactly, but they should have been in Jefferson County by then. "We're going to Chicago. We should be there by....." he checked his watch, frowning after realizing he hadn't put it on that morning. "Five hours from now. Maybe six." shoving the remaining half of donut in his mouth. He hoped this signal would tell them that the conversation was over, and he picked his book up from where it lay thrown on the floor. Opening the book as he swallowed the remainders of his donut, he glances up once more. "We'll stay in a hotel there tonight, if we can find one. We'll check in when we find one, then... I have no idea. Our show isn't until tomorrow, or the day after, or whatever." he shrugged, turning his eyes back to his book.

==== ☠ ======== ☠ ==== She then squinted her eyes as she then tried to figure out what he was reading. She leaned a bit to the right left to find out a little bit...she only saw these things: ___ War___ Ma_... But the cover was very familiar..something she had read before....oh! "Are you reading the Warded Man? Heard that books pretty good..and also....interesting..pretty much shows Science is horrible.." She then stretches her arm as she got a donut out from the thing and ate it; pretty quickly since she haven't ate anything at all yesterday. She was not in the mood to play videogames but unfortunately she was asked by Nick to play SSBB with him. She hoped to god she gets Ike.. the strongest yet 'cheater' player in the game..and besides..she remembered his combos and such..even though he was slow. ==== ☠ ======== ☠ ====

►►►►►►►►►►►►♫♛♫◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄ Glancing up as one of his precious donuts was snatched away. He was about to object when he remembered that she had said something. She'd read the book? She certainly looked the type to read it, but he had never expected her to be a reader. "It shows Science is horribly? It barely rips away from the main characters to make such a general statement." he tells her with a raised brow, being more gentle with his criticism than he could have been. "He should focus a little more on the setting. Could add a lot more to the story that way." as she went on to play games with Nick, he watched her a moment longer. He pops another donut in his mouth before he could say anything more, choosing instead to focus on his book.
~5 Hour Time Skip~
Setting aside his book, Emile glances about the bus. He hadn't moved much in the past few hours, choosing instead to focus on his book. They had crossed into Illinois just a few minutes ago, and were headed north to Chicago. "Once we hit Chicago, we need to find a hotel before anything else." he announces, almost out of nowhere. The others were focusing on various things, and he had run out of donuts over an hour ago. "And then we need to find more donuts." he added, as if this too were necessary. In his mind, it was incredibly true.

==== ☠ ======== ☠ ==== She then had cheered in victory when she had defeated Nick for the second time in SSBB, not really listening to Em...ok she did.. donuts and hotel was all she heard. She then decided to take them somewhere she went to last time that was going to be in Chicago...she knew it was comfy and had great customer satisfaction. "Driver, turn to the left!"*Timeskip* Ayres Inn was it.. it was pretty big... 9 stories high.. a cafe next to them that had natural food..and also allowed pets but it would take an extra charge..that was what the hotel was. It even looked nice too..better than the Hollywood tower Hotel anyways. "This is it! Now let's go check in!"She then walked in pretty quickly..hoping to god they can get a couch bed...since she was the only girl around and such. ==== ☠ ======== ☠ ====

►►►►►►►►►►►►♫♛♫◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄ Pulling on a collared, long sleeve shirt, it seems that the man isn't terribly happy about such. He does up most of the buttons and pushes up the sleeves while climbing down off the bus, Em watches in annoyance as Laura rushed into the hotel. "Go find a place to park the bus. You said you'd be sleeping in it, yeah?" he called back, waving Nick and Mark on ahead. Receiving a positive answer from the driver, he slammed closed the door and watched as the bus rumbled away. Sighing, he turns to take in the hotel. It was nice enough, he supposed. As long as it had donuts...
Approaching his group at the desk from behind, he steps around Nick to lean against the check in counter. "One room with at least two beds." he tells the woman behind the counter, giving her his most charming smile. The woman nodded, looking a bit flustered, and began tapping away at her computer. Turning his head, he looks mostly at Mark. "You can Nick can share one, then Princess there can have her own. I'll sleep on the desk or couch or whatever." he cast a single glance at Laura, raising an eyebrow. "I trust there are no objections?" he didn't like the girl, not at all, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try and uphold his gentlemanly image in public. Besides which, he wasn't such a b*****d that he'd make her sleep on the floor.
"We have a room open with two queen beds and a pull out couch." the receptionist offers, looking at the group before her. They certainly looked familiar, but she couldn't place her finger on it. "I'm going to need your name and credit card number."
"That'll do wonderfully." Emile responds, turning to flash the woman another smile. She nods, going back to type away. "My name? Emile Ryder." he proceeded to give the woman his credit card number, ignoring the puzzled look on her face. Taking the card keys she handed him, he turns to face his group. "Alright, keys for everyone." handing them out quickly, he gently encourages the others away from the front desk. "Now that that's covered, we can unload the bus or go find something to eat." he offers, looking mostly at Nick and Mark for opinions.
