Big Time Rides

Five teens were arguing with each other while walking through the Palm Woods' parking lot, each carrying a bag of groceries. The five only stopped when they came up on a motorcycle that was for sale.

"Whoa... Cool motorcycle for sale." Carlos whispered, having already been digging into the snacks they got.

"Good boy in me says look away... But the bad boy in me says hello." Logan said as the five continued staring at the vehicle.

"You know what? I bet if we all pitched in we could buy it and have the big time ride of our lives." Kendall said. The five looked up, starting to day dream.

Eventually the five were brought out of their daydreams when they heard Mrs. Knight yell at them. "Are you out of your mind!" The five looked around in a dazed and confused state, one of them wondering how they all managed to fit on the motorcycle. "If I ever see any of you even think about getting a motorcycle, I will..." The woman trailed off, letting the kids' imagination take over- which led to the five picturing the woman chasing them Mad Max style.

Upon seeing Mrs. Knight waving around a loaf of bread, the five scrambled to get off the motorcycle, resulting in them falling off ungracefully. Four out of the five immediately jumped up, holding grocery bags.

"And the mama's boy in me says- RUN!" Logan yelled. He, Kendall, Lilly and Carlos took off, not even bothering to wait for James, mostly being too scared of Mrs. Knight to even consider waiting for him.

The four calmly walked into the apartment, setting the bags down. "Okay, mom said for us to put all the groceries away, and then-" Kendall started. Lilly watched in amusement as Logan and Carlos happily ignored the tall boy and ran out the door.

Lilly smiled and waved when she saw the boy turn around. "I think you lost them when you said 'put all the groceries away'." She commented, taking out a piece of candy she got.

"They'll pay for that. Anyways, what are you still doing here? I would've guessed you would've ran right out with them." Kendall said, getting back to unpacking the groceries while Lilly helped him.

"I thought about it, but I need your help." Lilly responded.

"Anything you want, you got it." Kendall smiled.

"Okay, would you be willing to..." Lilly trailed off, hoping the boy would say yes.

"To...?" Kendall said, hoping to hear that she wanted to ask if they could start up their relationship again.

"Take me out driving-"

"Yes!" Kendall answered before realizing what Lilly had asked.

"Really!" "What?"

"Oh, thank you, Doll!" Lilly beamed, doing a little dance- which Kendall found absolutely adorable, but he would never admit it out loud. 

"Wait wait wait. You want me to take you out to drive?" Kendall asked, receiving a nod from Lilly. "Why? You have other people that are perfectly capable of driving you places." He continued. 

"Because I'm 17- almost 18, I'm getting my license in a couple months, your mom won't take me out driving because she freaks me out, and I am not getting in a death machine with Logan, James or Carlos. And I trust you." Lilly explained.

"Well, thanks for trusting me but no." Kendall answered and kept unpacking the groceries. 

"What? Why? You just said yes, no take backs." Lilly whined.

"Because, you and I are just getting back to normal and I have a very good feeling this might be something that we'll fight about. And we've been doing that... a lot." Kendall explained.
