Life is a Highway - Rascal Flatts

Chapter 3: First Run

Elain still couldn't believe it. She felt like she was stuck in a dream and she wished she didn't wake up from it. If it weren't for the sounds of roaring engines, the people chatting loud enough for the others to listen and the redheaded guy she was holding onto, it was proof enough that she wasn't dreaming.

She took in the wind on her hair, face and skin, making sure to memorize the feeling. She glanced around as the trees and objects moved quickly, now behind them. She could only think of Einstein's Relativity Theory she learned from a science show a week ago before the screen went static. She pulled herself from her thoughts and focused on how she was going miles and miles away from the town, feeling like she was going to float away.

They’d rode about 209 miles before stopping near a sandy clearing. Cassian got off his crimson scrambler in a hurry and ran behind some trees. “Gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee!” It took Elain all of her will to not snicker but it didn't last long when Mor laughed at him, making herself chuckle before covering her mouth in an attempt to hide it.

“That’s what happens when you don't go to the bathroom after you've drunk a large coke, Cass.” Mor said with a smirk. Amren didn't seem to hide her own smirk, smaller than Mor’s but devious enough to mock him.

Elain glanced at Lucien when he shook his head with a chuckle. He then faced Rhysand. “How long until the next stop then?”

“Next town will be about 345 plus miles from here, so.. maybe five and a half hours.” He said while stretching his back before glancing at Azriel. “What time is it?”

Before Azriel could even say a word, Elain answered him instead. “11:45 am.” Lucien turned to her with raised brows. She pulled away and shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal, not to mention that they were pretty far from where they left. “I checked my phone before we left, it was 7:45 am so-”

“You’ve been counting the whole way?” Rhysand asked but Elain chuckled.

“No, I checked my phone again when we stopped and Cassian had to.. you know.” At this, the band laughed, even Azriel was chuckling at her joke. Just as they calmed down a little, Cassian returned, zipping his pants back up. Just then, an idea popped on Elain’s head. “Oh! Before we go, is it ok to take a selfie with you guys? I really want my sisters to know my whereabouts.” She got off Lucien's bike, a bobber she realized, her legs wobbled a little but she managed to stand. Her sisters probably think she was still in town so it was valid to surprise them.

Cassian was the first to ask. “You got sisters?”

Elain nodded with a wide smile. “Two. My older sister Nesta and little sister Feyre. They’ve been traveling longer than me and I want them to know that I'm out and about.” She held her phone up, and made sure everyone was on their rides. “Ok! Everyone smile and say, Compass!” And as she said that everyone obliged as she took the picture. Elain glanced at it and smiled brightly. Cassian and Mor were holding both of their hands in front of them, doing the ILY gesture, Azriel just did a salute gesture but had the faintest of smiles, Amren just glared at the camera with her chin up, Rhysand only smirked while resting his arms on his hd handles, and Lucien, sitting on his bike next to her, gave a mild but genuine smile. “It looks great!” She said as Mor walked to her and peered over her shoulder.

“You gotta send us that selfie later!” Mor exclaimed. “We can exchange phone numbers once we get to our next stop.”

“Of course. That would be best.” Elain nodded then sent the picture to her sisters on their group chat with a comment.

Elain: Guess who just stepped out of the nest! These fellas agreed to let me join their band! :D

Once she sent the message with the photo, she hopped on Lucien’s ride and held onto his jacket instead of his torso. She didn't want him to think the wrong idea and she thought he probably had someone waiting for him already. “Alright! Let's go!” She said with a lot of enthusiasm, making Rhysand chuckle.

“The lady just roared. Let's go.” He smirked as they proceeded with their journey. Lucien made sure she was holding on so she wouldn't fall and injure herself. Instead, she was looking at the forest view, her expression joyful and bright. He couldn't help the smile that quirked up his lips as he focused on the road in front of him.

During the next hour, they left the forest sight and entered the more prairie ground with small isolated buildings, which Elain realized were farms, something she usually wished to see ever so often but rarely did since she was stuck in one simple apartment. She crossed that off her bucket and made a mental note to add a new one on her phone when she saw the corn crops: Visit a Corn Maze. They briefly stopped to buy some homemade food from a farmer’s stand and Elain’s taste buds went on a flavor rampage, drawing a squeaky moan from her throat, when she tried the milk and honey pie and was for certain that she would pinpoint it as one of her newly favorite foods of all times. Lucien chuckled at her reaction, making her cheeks flush slightly in embarrassment.

They spent almost 25 minutes on the road when they came across a river, stopping on the edges of a bridge, to which Elain couldn't help but peer down to the water and gasped in excitement. “There are turtles here.” Mor peered down next to her and chuckled when one of the turtles flopped to the water when the small floating log was pretty much full.

“Lemme borrow your phone, Elain.” Mor said as Elain obliged, both posing for a selfie. One normal and another with funny faces. Soon after, Cassian joined inthe fun as he hugged the girls with a wide smile then another where the girls shared his shades. “This will go to our yearly album.” Mor commented, making Elain smile. When she turned her head, she was stunned to see the other end of the river, with Lucien staring at what seemed to be orchids, the red of his hair contrasting with the green of the wilderness. For once, she wished she had Feyre's ability to name any sight before plastering it in a portrait. What she did manage to do is snap a photo of him before he turned to her with wide eyes.

Elain smiled and waved her phone. “If you’re not a fan of photos, I'm sorry to say that you gotta go through me if you wanna delete it.” She said smugly, making Lucien chuckle.

“Unfortunately, that would be Azriel. But if you assume such things, then I suggest you hide your phone while sleeping.” He said and gave her a secret wink. Elain snorted before hopping up behind him.

“We’ll see.” Elain said simply. That was one detail the Archeron sisters have in common: They all love a good challenge. She managed to send the photos to her sister’s group chat before they hit the road again.

Elain: Saw a bunch of turtles and we took funny pictures. Having fun thus far! ^^

She then sent the photo of Lucien privately to Feyre with a question attached.

Elain: You don't have to answer right now but you got any good labels for this photo? Please and Thank you.

None of them answered yet but Elain could understand if they were busy and traveling. The sun was almost setting, giving the sky a combination of oranges, yellows and purples. Elain was starting to feel quite sleepy but she fought it bak to prevent herself from falling backwards, to the hard pavement, or falling forward, against Lucien’s back. Obviously, she didn't want to end up in one of those two situations so she stared over the colorful sky. She then realized that they were slowing down and turned to a small town with luckily a gas station, few roads of houses, a motel and a minimarket that was still open. The gang settled their bikes in the parking lot before walking towards the motel. Elain trotted behind them.

“So, who’s gonna be roommates with who?” Mor asked her cousin as Rhysand made a long hmm before answering.

“Knowing Amren, she’ll take a room to herself.”

“Naturally.” Amren said bored as she walked ahead. Rhysand shook his head.

“Well, pick a partner then.” He said with a shrug.

Cassian snapped his fingers. “I'm either sleeping with Az or Mor. If I sleep with Mor, Azriel will sleep with Lucien.”

“Not sleeping with him!” Both Azriel and Lucien said, barely in sync, causing Elain to chuckle.

“How about.. Rhys and me, you and Az, and Elain with Lucien?” Mor suggested and Elain froze. She never slept with a guy. Aside from Graysen. Then again, she considered it for a moment before Lucien spoke.

“Guys, shouldn't we let her choose her roommate instead?” He asked. Well, at least he’s modest.

“Lucien and I can share a room. One of us can sleep on a couch or on the floor.” Elain said, not minding the fact that she could sleep on the floor or on a couch. She did it most of the time when she couldn't even get herself to sleep on the bed properly. Lucien frowned, as if he figured her thoughts.

“You’re not sleeping on the floor.” He said and Elain scoffed.

“Couch then.” She shot back.

“You’ll take the bed and I'll take the couch.” Lucien debated. The two now glared at each other.

“A bet then..” Elain held her chin up in challenge as Mor and Cassian gasped. Lucien raised a brow, unamused. “A game of poker.. Whoever wins gets the couch, the loser takes the bed.. If you have cards, that is.”

Mor was the one who ran back to her bike before coming back with a box of cards. “We carry them around always.”

Lucien scoffed and smirked. “Make it a bit more interesting, Lady.”

“Winner gets the couch and ten bucks while the loser gets the bed and invites everyone for drinks. How's that?” Elain crossed her arms.

Lucien smirked as the two shaked their hands in agreement. “Challenge accepted.” Was all he said. Certainly, he could beat her in poker, right?

He was WRONG. Lucien hand no fucking idea how in God’s name she was beating him in poker. He was running out of options and she was still wearing an expression so unreadable that he had him reconsidering every option and every turn on his head.

“Are there any snacks?” Elain said Rhysand too casually, as if she wasn't even playing. She was smart, he had to admit, it was like she was a fawn in hiding while he was the predator looking for her and yet cant see her. It wasn't long enough before Lucien lost to her when they placed their cards down, she had a full house.

“How?” Was all he could say.

Elain smirked. “You owe me ten bucks and a drink, Fox.~” Lucien almost shuddered when she said that while Cassian and Mor cheered for her. Of course, a bet was a bet. Lucien ended up sleeping on the bed while Elain slept on the couch. Next time, he’ll beat her at poker next time, he thought to himself as he dozed off.

Pros of taking your shitty car-related NSFW jokes to maximum level: The thing I wrote a few days ago is a masterpiece, I got that done in literally an hour which is impressive enough, “Life is a Highway” will now forever make me almost pop a lung laughing at my own dumb quasi-shitpost, I haven’t felt this alive in months and sometimes you really just need to write an exposé on the human condition [and sneak in some of the grimmer realities of being Chinese-American in a country that doesn’t want you] told through the perspective of a lonely, elderly man banging a car Cons: I can probably never face my friends again, why do people still stan the mechanophile character, after like 30 minutes straight of hearing Rascal Flatts you stop being able to discern words and everything becomes an aggressively Rascal Flatts-accented nightmare for at least the next hour

she works about seven jobs, house sitting, babysitting, dog walking, over night waitress, stocking crew, so much more, poor girl is working herself to death but she can barely afford her place and her dogs and herself and she might be sending money to the boyfriend in jail

but nbd he’s getting out soon and he totally loves her!!! ( not )

10-20 for the music ask

10: a song that makes me sadI don’t think there’s any song in particular that makes me sad, but if there’s a song that has lyrics that remind me of a specific person I might get sad. The most recent instance of that was when I was thinking about an old friend and I walked back into my room to a song playing that went “these miles have torn us worlds apart and I miss you” and I just wanted to break down because I miss this person. It’s been too long since we’ve talked.11: a song I never get tired ofI mean... there’s a lot of songs I never get tired of. I think the main three would be Heart of the Matter (stares at url...), The End of the Innocence, and The Last Worthless Evening, all by Don Henley. They’re from the same album (which I could listen to endlessly), and they all tell stories that everyone can relate to. Plus they each have a different sound. Heart of the Matter has a strong beat and easy melody, The End of the Innocence is a little boppy, while also emphasizing its piano which keep it a fairly light song, and The Last Worthless Evening is a truly poignant ballad. 12: a song from my preteen yearsI mean, I guess it would be Follow Me, by Uncle Kracker, because I had a strange obsession with that song. But I’ve listened to the same stuff pretty much all my life so there’s nothing specific that really stands out.13: one of my favorite 80s songsUhhhhh my first instinct was to say The Boys of Summer by Don Henley because it’s a bop lol. But I also really like Tainted Love by Soft Cell and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham!. Wait, wasn’t Africa by Toto released in the 80s? That too lmao. 14: a song that I would love played at my weddingI... don’t want... a wedding... I’m not even sure... I want to get married... I honestly have no idea what song is pick.15: a song that is a cover by another artistI mean, the Rascal Flatts version of Life is a Highway is my fucking jam lol. Original by Tom Cochrane. 16: one of my favorite classical songsOkay strangely enough there is a classical song that is an inside joke between @dvasgothgf and me so I guess that would be my favorite but I need to find which one it is. When I find it I’ll let you know.17: a song that I would sing a duet with on karaoke Can I sing Love and Theft’s If You Ever Get Lonely? It’s not a duet per se but it’s a good song to sing with another person. 18: a song from the year I was bornI don’t think I actually listen to any songs from 1997 but I’ll pick... hang on I found Good Riddance by Green Day on the list of popular songs from 97 I’ll pick that lol19: a song that makes me think about lifeOh fuck. Again, there’s a lot. I think one of the main ones is Second Chance, by Shinedown. Most of the songs that make me have mild existential crises are about leaving or running away or something like that. This one makes me remember that I don’t have to be around the people that hurt me forever. “Sometimes goodbye is a second chance”. I’ll have my own life eventually. 20: a song that has many meanings to meHmmm... that’s the thing, I listen to songs that, while often are allegorical, are very clear about what they mean. So there’s not often another interpretation. I’d like to think that Brave New World, River of Dreams, and Part of Me, Part of You, all by Glenn Frey, would fall in that category. The first and last on that list both have senses of leaving, which could be actually leaving, or death. River of Dreams is just one of those songs that if I was listening I could sing along, but I don’t remember the lyrics otherwise, and it’s interesting because my favorite quote comes from that song: “People don’t run out of dreams, people just run out of time.” I don’t know, there’s a lot of quotes about dreams that stick out to me in songs, and they’re always open to interpretation. Thanks anon! This was a nice way to spend a little time before work.

Crash Bandicoot Homecoming Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Chances given to a hero (Disclaimer! I own nothing of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, or SVTFOE) Crash was heading back to his dorm after another adventure as The Orange Pioneer. “Man that was intense,” said Crash. He noticed some stains on his costume. “Time for another trip to the laundry room,” he said. He was in the laundry room washing his costume. Jackie greeted him with a bump to the shoulder. “Hey Crash,” said Jackie, “What are we starin’ at?” “Just thinking about stuff,” said Crash. “Crash, the year of college is almost over,” said Jackie grabbing his hands, “We don’t have to think about anything!” They both laughed. “I think we should just think about you, me, and what we’re gonna do this summer,” said Jackie, “What am I thinking right now?” Crash was trying to think. “Just imagine how much time we can save by reading each other’s minds,” said Jackie. Crash thought of something. “You want me to kiss you?” he asked. “Well, I was thinking about the conversation I had with your old crush, but hey good shot,” said Jackie. “Wait what?” asked Crash. “Tawna and I got to talking, and I can see why you use to like her,” said Jackie, “Don’t worry though, she told me there was nothing goin’ on between the two of you.” Later they were walking around campus and she showed him a video. “Turns out another bio-human caught one of your old foes,” she said, “Ripper Roo was it?” They both watched it. Ripper Roo was taking some TNT and putting it in a box. Someone sped up to his area. “Addicted to Dynamite eh?” she asked. She sped right past him knocking him out. “Whoa,” said Crash. “Now I see why you wanna be like them,” said Jackie. “Yeah,” said Crash, “It’s a highway and if it takes me the rest of my life to ride it, then its worth it.” Life is a Highway (Rascal Flatts Version) Crash: Life's like a road that you travel on When there's one day here and the next day gone Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand Sometimes you turn your back to the wind There's a world outside every darkened door Where blues won't haunt you anymore Where the brave are free and lovers soar Come ride with me to the distant shore We won't hesitate To break down the garden gate There's not much time left today Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Jackie: Through all these cities and all these towns It's in my blood, and it's all around I love you now like I loved you then This is the road, and these are the hands From Mozambique to those Memphis nights The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights Knock me down and back up again You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man There's no load I can't hold A road so rough this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Just tell 'em we're survivors Crash and Jackie: Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme yeah Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Jackie: There was a distance between you and I Crash: A misunderstanding once Crash and Jackie: But now we look in the eye Ooh... yeah! Later Crash was with Coco and Crunch playing at the Lunchapalooza in the band, The Bandicoots. Crash played a wild solo and the crowd went into a frenzy, but he only had eyes for Jackie. Crash: There ain't no load that I can't hold A road so rough this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Just tell 'em we're survivors Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long (All night long, yeah, yeah) If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Gimme, gimme, gimme, Gimme, gimme, yeah Life is a highway (Life is a highway) I wanna ride it all night long (ooh... yeah) If you're going my way (If you're going my way) I wanna drive it all night long (All night long, yeah. Come, on) Gimme, gimme, gimme, Gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long (Yeah, I wanna drive it all night long, baby) If you're going my way (If you're going my way) I wanna drive it all night long (All night long...) The audience cheered his name. Willie just scoffed. “Show off,” he said. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game,” said Crash. He took Jackie’s hand and they started walking around school. “So Crash, when did you make that costume?” asked Jackie. “It’s a long story,” said Crash, “A year back, I was recruited to join Nicholas and his team to fight against Korra’s side for the great division.” “Oh yeah, I read about that on the news,” said Jackie, “So that was you?” “Yeah, I said that,” said Crash laughing. “I gotta get to class,” said Jackie, “So, I’ll see you tonight?” “Yep,” said Crash. “Cool,” she said. She kissed his cheek. Later Crash was sitting on a rooftop and Spyro joined him. “She seems like a keeper,” said Spyro. “Excuse me?” asked Crash. “Jackie,” said Spyro, “She seems nice.” “Yeah,” said Crash, “I’m finally over Tawna thanks to her.” “Well, there is one girl who I’m starting to fall for,” said Crash, “Her name’s Elora.” “Oh yeah, the goat girl,” said Crash. “She’s a faun you dork,” said Spyro. “Oh yeah,” said Crash. Spyro smelled some smoke. “Something’s wrong,” he said. Crash got a look at it. “We better go check it out,” said Crash, “What are the odds of you carrying me?” “Not good,” said Spyro. Spyro was carrying Crash on his back. “Over there!” said Crash. “Well let’s give these punks a warm welcome,” said Spyro. They landed near an area where some thugs were setting up boxes with weapons. “Sup guys?” asked Crash. “Intruder!” said one of them. “The illegal drug delivery was at 12 noon!” said Crash, “You missed it.” He did his trademark spin attack kicking a weapon out of one of the thugs. “How do you like that,” he said. Spyro switched to spark breath and shocked one of the thugs before he could attack. Jackie was back at the campus watching something on TV. “Man there’s nothin’ good on,” she said. “Turn that channel!” said Coco barging in, “Oh, right, sorry.” She went back out and knocked and Jackie opened the door. “Turn that channel!” she repeated, “Something big is going on!” Jackie changed the channel to the news and saw Crash and Spyro. “What’s going on over there?” asked Jackie. Crash took down the last thug. “Well that takes care of that,” said Crash, “And Nicholas said I couldn’t handle petty crimes.” Crash saw Koala Kong, Dingodile, and Tiny. “Um Crash,” said Spyro as he poked his shoulder. Crash saw Koala Kong. “Ah, you’re bringing back the flat top,” said Crash. “I see you still got jokes,” said Kong, “We’ll see how you laugh after I kick your teeth in!” He grabbed a boulder and launched it at Crash and he dodged. Dingodile was busy fighting Spyro. “So why are you called Dingodile?” asked Spyro. “Glad you asked mate,” he said. He swung his tail at Spyro and he dodged and kicked him in the face. Tiny attempted to grab Spyro but he was too quick. “Show off,” said Crash. He did a flip and kicked Kong in the face. Moments later the three of them were tied up on a car. “That’s the end of that, for now,” said Crash. Coco and Jackie cheered. “Now let’s get outta bere before….” Said Crash before he heard something. Somebody broke out of a car and had some kind of flight suit. It was Dennis now calling himself Crow “Well, I’ve been looking for you, Bandicoot,” he said as he grinned. “Can I help you?” asked Crash. “The name’s Crow,” said Crow, “I’ve been hired to terminate you.” “Terminate me?” asked Crash. He then laughed. “Please,” said Crash, “If you hadn’t noticed, I took care of your allies with no sweat. So step aside and you won’t suffer the same fate.” “With that cheesy costume?” asked Crow, “Well, how about I show you mine.” He did some kind of whistle and a pair of mechanical wings came to him allowing him to fly. “Whoa,” said Crash. “I got this from a climatic battle with the slipknot and thought I could use this,” said Crow. He got closer to them. “What do you want with us?” asked Crash. “Cortex was very specific,” answered Crow. “Cortex?” asked Crash. “For some reason he wanted me to claw you to pieces,” said Crow. “Claw us to pieces?” asked Spyro. “That way you’ll never find out he’s planning to turn all humans into his animal slaves!” said Crow, “….Perhaps I said too much.” He went at them. “Move it!” said Spyro. He pulled Crash to the curb. Crow flew around attempting to attack Crash and Spyro. “Enough is enough!” he said. He pulled out some kind of laser gun and flew straight through the ship blasting it. The ship started to come apart. “You have two options boy,” said Crow, “Stop the villain, or save the innocent. Ta-ta!” He flew away. “Come back here you dirty fighter!” said Crash. “We got bigger problems right now buddy,” said Spyro. He and Crash went around getting people off of the boat. Crash used two grappling hooks and used all his strength to keep the boat from sinking while Spyro flew around helping everyone out. Some small machines were flying all around the boat and pushing it back together. Crash saw Nicholas in his Power Man Suit. “Oh boy,” he said.
