Conner simply nodded, blinking with a slightly confused expression when she ran her hands through his hair. Shrugging, he quickly made his way over to his truck quickly and started it up. This ol' boy can easily keep up. It's been with Dad just fine for 17 years. Patting the steering wheel in a fashion not unlike patting a comrade on the back, he rolled down his window and rested his left arm on the door, hanging out of his car slightly. This oughta be interesting.

Emma revved her engine once more before screeching out of the parking lot with a grand 'ol smile on her face. "God I love you, baby!" she shouted as bent down and kissed her motorcycle real quick. She stopped at a red light and looked behind her to see if Conner was following. As she expected, there was his old truck stopped behind her Ducati. The light turned green so she sped off and began weaving through all of the cars, enjoying the adrenaline pumping through her veins. Any moment now she could get in an accident, but it only excited her to her fullest.
Finally, she spotted a Taco Bell so she pulled into the parking lot and waited for Connor to catch up and park.

Conner arrived at the Taco Bell a few minutes after Emma, laughing as he stepped out of the truck. The clicks of his truck doors locking reached his ears as he placed his keys in his front pocket, shaking his head and holding open the door. "Mighty hard to keep up with ya' in a four-wheeled ride." He laughed once again, a hearty sound filled with mirth.

Emma only smiled and stuck her tongue out at him. "Told ya it would be tough!" she exclaimed as she walked through the door, thanking him afterwards. She went straight to the counter and ordered three supreme tacos and and a soda, not wanting to order her usual three tacos, three bean burriotos, and a large soda that so she wouldn't clean out Connor's wallet.
Emma waited for Conner to order and pay and then went to the soda fountain to mix root beer and dr. pepper in her cup. She then sat down and decided to start a short conversation. "So Conner, um, I guess I should tell you more about this rave that so you know what you're getting yourself into," she started as she unwrapped one of her tacos and nearly drooled at the tacoey goodness. "Most people at these things take E, so if someone all of a sudden comes up to you and starts feeling you up, don't panic because all they'll be thinking is how soft your package or butt is," she stated bluntly after biting into her taco and swallowing.

Conner nearly grinned at her exclamation, though still a bit unused to such happy expressions. Stepping up to the counter, he ordered two tacos and a small soda and payed for the two of them. His wallet was a brown leather; extremely worn down and seemingly a decade old. Taking his food, he filled his cup with Nestea and took a seat across from Emma. For the small amount of food he ordered, he ate it quickly, nearly inhaling it. He nodded along with what she said, until she mentioned getting felt up. Halting in his movements, he blinked and had to cover his mouth with his right hand, attempting to restrain his laughter. "Certainly interesting, I'll say that." Pausing a moment and finishing his food, he leant back in his seat and smiled whilst shaking his head. "Honestly, I'm looking forward to the experience."

"Well you should be! Raves are amazing!" Emma stated with starry eyes. "And you'll get to see lil' ol' me rock the turn tables towards the end of the rave!" she informed as she pretended to be scratching records as a joke. Emma quickly finished her meal and dumped her trash into the trash bin. She took one last sip of her soda and dumped that as well since there weren't any cup holders on her vehicle. "Let's get outta here and to the store!" Emma stated as she looked at her phone for any texts or voice mails. She had none but she learned that they only had about thirty minutes 'till they needed to hit the road to head to the rave. She got on her motorcycle and waved at Connor before taking off. Before she went off into the street, she checked to see if he was following and then took off towards one of her favorite stores in the world, NeogeekS.
In five minutes flat, they made it to the small store that was located in a strip mall. She once again waited for Conner, this time holding the door open for him. "Welcome to Heaven," she introduced as she motioned towards the neon, flashing, and completely different world beyond the door.

Conner smiled wide enough for a miniscule slit of his teeth to show, excited flames igniting in his guts. Though he was nearly shivering with anticipation, he remained silent. He threw away all his food and drink, following her in his truck as he did previously. Reaching the store, he nodded toward her and raised his right hand to give a motion of tipping his hat. "Thank ya', ma'am." Stepping inside, his eyes widened at the sight of the store. Awe was evident in his voice. "Wow. This is amazing. Y'never see places like this back in Texas."

Emma giggled and walked into the store past him. "Hey Lucas! How are you doing today?" she asked the cashier. She came here so often that she was best friends with the store employees. "Better now that you're here!" Lucas teased with a wave. Emma smiled and continued onto the store. She grabbed two flashing binkies, a multi pack of connectible glow sticks, an other pack of regular glow sticks, and neon pink hair gel. She placed them on the counter and waited for Conner to pay. "Lucas, can we go in the back and use the mirror too? I have to do this guy's hair," she asked as she softly punched Conner's arm when she mentioned him. "Yeah, sure hun, you just gotta give me a hug first," Lucas stated as he stood behind the counter with his arms open, ready for a hug. Emma laughed and hugged Lucas around the waist, going into the back room with Conner afterwards. "Now let's see what we can do with your hair..." she stated while she stood in front of the mirror with him and ran her hands through his hair again.

Conner payed for the items, opting to stay silent and observe the two while he could. It was always intriguing to him to see the way people interacted with other people. He nodded a silent thanks to the cashier after putting his wallet into his back pocket, as he'd always done since he was a small child. Following Emma into the back, he slipped his hands into his pockets and simply wore a curious expression whilst allowing her to do what she liked with his hair. He actually had to suppress a slight urge to whimper like a puppy, finding that her actions felt akin to being petted like a dog. As odd as it seemed, it was something he'd always enjoyed. Nicole had always pet him after all.

"Hmm," Emma mused as she stood back and looked at his head of hair. Finally she new what to do with it. She opened the pink hair gel and grabbed a whole glob of it from the container. She rubbed it around in her hands and then moved to run her fingers through his hair again, but this time determined to make his hair style perfect. After a few minutes of perfecting it, she stood back and blushed. His hair was simply spiked and tousled a bit tinted slightly pink at the tips from the gel, but it made him look hella (her way of saying "way") cute.

Connor's eyebrows had furrowed somewhat as she styled his hair, an inquisitive expression having slithered upon his face. The feel of gel, or rather, anything different from water and shampoo, upon his head was foreign to him. Such a weird feeling. When she finished, he tilted his head to the right slightly and glanced sideways at himself in the mirror. Cool. The far corner of his lips quirked upward in a crooked half-smile as an eyebrow rose. "How do I look?" Amusement flickered in his moss green eyes.

She giggled before replying, "Sexy." Emma stared at him for a moment longer before taking out her phone and looking down at the screen. "Crap, we have to get going if we want to make it on time," she stated as she put her cell phone back in her pocket and put the gel back in the bag. "Okay, this might be a little too much for you, but you need to ride on the motorcycle with me. Where we're going is two hours away on my Ducati, but I think that with your truck it will be at least doubled, so yeah..."

Connor full-heartedly grinned; The muscles of his mouth ached at the foreign stretch. A deep, mirthful laugh trickled from his lips to accompany the expression. Laughing fit having halted, he nodded calmly and made his way to the door, holding it open again. "Bah, it's not too much for me. I don't mind in the least." Being an honest fellow, such was true.

Emma smiled at Connor's laugh and shook her head. She grabbed onto his arm and dragged him out of the store, saying goodbye to Lucas as she did so. She placed the bag in the small compartment under the seat and unlocked the helmet from the back. "Alright pretty boy, you get to wear this. It won't ruin your hair so don't worry," Emma stated as she handed him the motorcycle helmet. She then grabbed a pair of Aviator glasses and put them on, that so bugs wouldn't fly into her eyes when she rode. Lastly, before straddling the bike, she pulled her long brown hair up into a ponytail with a hair band and smiled at Connor. "You ready?"

Connor nodded and put on the helmet, standing awkwardly in front of the bike for a second. He spoke as he straddled the vehicle, sitting behind her with his hands hovering in the air for a few moments. "Yeah." Knowing he'd need to hold on, he lightly placed his hands on her hips. Physical contact had been lost on him for many years, so he was somewhat afraid of holding onto the girl. As a clumsy man that had ridden motorcycles before, he didn't want a replay of the time he'd been startled and fell off the bike.
