Title: Road trip to Dreams

Summary: Emily and Elijah Wood were twins who grew up in a small Iowa town named "Graceland", not the Elvis home. When they were 6 they moved to an even smaller Southern South Carolina town called "Rivenville". The only thing special about the small southern town is that it is about an hour away from the beach and the hometown High School football team has won states 10 years in a row. They live there until they graduate from High School, when they decide to take a road trip across country to L.A. where they both have aspirations to become famous actors. Along the way they meet people they did not expect to meet and make new friends and once they reach L.A. life is harder than it seems to them. This is their story about Love, friendship, family, and dreams.

Cast:
Major
Emily Wood- Me, Kit-Kat (age 18)
Elijah Wood- himself (age 18)
The rest is still being decided........

A/N: This is giving everyone a taste of the sory before I pick the rest of the cast.

~Prologue~

I’ll be your beacon through the darkest night
I’ll be your wings to guide your broken flight
I’ll be you shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you till forever comes


“Mommy! Elijah pushed me off of my bike!” I yelled running into our light blue farm house with my knees bleeding.

“I didn’t mean to! It was an accident!” Elijah yelled running inside after me.

“Children, stop yellin’! Now, Emily get into the bathroom and sit on the toilet while I go deal with your brother in the kitchen.” Mom said in her thick southern accent. Elijah stuck his tongue out at me as he walked into the kitchen and I stuck my tongue back out at him as he walked away and I went into the bathroom with tears still falling down my face.

I was 4 years old then, I Emily, my twin brother Elijah, my baby sister Jennifer, and my parents Jonathan Wood and Evelyn Wood, lived in Graceland, Iowa. My mother was from Rivenville, South Carolina and my father was from Graceland. They met during college at the University of Kentucky. My dad was studying to be a photographer and my mother was studying to be a dental hygienist nurse. Well, right out of college they married and moved onto my grandfather’s farm which was left in his will to my dad. My dad got a job as the local newspaper photographer and mother got a job a Graceland family dentistry.

Graceland was a small farming city with lots of rolling green hills and beautiful farm lands and red, orange, and variety of colorful barns throughout town. We lived in a big light blue farm house with a white picket fence and white wrap around porch. The house had 6 bedrooms and felt like a mansion to me and Elijah. On our estate we also had a barn with 2 horses that Elijah and I loved to ride with our parents. We had such a good life there and I loved it. I would always play with Elijah in the fields like we were in a magical medieval land or in the forest on the edge of our estate imagining we were in an enchanted forest like in our bedtime stories. I loved that house and I never wanted to leave it, it was our little paradise. Just then mom came in with Elijah and she sort of pushed him inside.

“Now, what do you have to say to your sister?” She said and his head was bent low but his eyes looked at me.

“I’m sorry Emily, I shouldn’t have pushed you. Do you forgive me?” He asked.

“I forgive you.” I said and he smiled and we hugged. Then mom cleaned my cuts, and then Jennifer started crying.

“Alright, ya’ll go play now and play nice.” She said and she kissed the top of our heads and then ran off to take care of Jennifer. Mom had been home lately on maternity leave but she was going back to work in 4 weeks once dad said he could have more time to work at home instead of out on the streets and in the office.

“Let’s go play in the fields!” Elijah said excitedly and we ran off to go play. We had a great life, almost perfect until one cold winter day in February when tragedy happened and we had to move from our paradise.

~2 years later~

“Kids! Hush up and go watch T.V.!” Mom yelled holding our new baby brother James who was only 4 months old and me, and Elijah, now 6 were running around the house with little 2 year old Jennifer. Mom was off this Saturday and dad was out in town for a new story.

After mom told us to hush up again we sat down in front of the T.V. to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Jennifer and James sat in the playpen playing quietly with their toys. Mom went off to go put more water in her glass vase full of red, white, and yellow roses she had gotten from dad for Valentines Day. She was softly humming to herself as she went into the kitchen. She turned on the water to fill the vase and Elijah turned up the T.V. so we could hear and then it happened.

“We interrupt this program to inform you of a terrible accident on highway 45. A 18 wheeler has skidded on the wet icy roads and hit a Dodge Ram 1994 truck and run it into a concrete barrier and made the car catch fire. We have no word yet on the driver of the truck but we know that the injuries are fatal and deadly. We will report more as soon as we know more information.” The anchor said and then we heard mom drop the glass vase and then she screamed.

Jennifer and James immediately began crying and Elijah and I held each other close for comfort and for the strength not to cry. Soon the phone rang and mom cried even more and then she called our neighbors and our parent’s best friends, Mr. and Mrs. Smith to come over and watch us. James and Jennifer finally calmed down once they were there and mom left to go to the Hospital. Elijah and I were inseparable that whole day, we were scared but we didn’t know why. The next day she came home and told us dad had died. The funeral was a week later and mom sold the house, the horses, and the land to get some extra money. Then 2 days later we packed up and were moving to Rivenville, where all of my mother’s family was.

“Don’t worry kids we will come back and visit.” Mom said pulling me and Elijah out of our death grip on the porch railing because we didn’t want to go. As we sat in the van, Elijah and I looked back at the house one last time as we drove away. Elijah and I that day made a promise to each other to protect, care, and be there for one another for the rest of our lives. We never went back for a visit, our lives changed and we were never the same over the next 12 years.

Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hear
Goodbye’s the last time I will hold you near
Someday you’ll say that word and I will cry
It’ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

Till we meet again until then Goodbye


Lyrics in beginning and ending:
Goodbye’s (the saddest word) By: Celine Dion

~Chapter 1~

You’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’ll stick together
No matter what, No matter what

Best Friend
Never gonna let you down
Best friend
You know, whatever life puts you through
I’ll be there for you


~12 years later~

“Daddy!” I yelled sitting up in bed with tears and a cold sweat running down my face. I looked at my alarm clock and it read 9 AM. I collapsed back down on my pillow ready to get back to sleep.

“Wake up Em! It’s graduation day!” Elijah yelled coming into my room and opening my curtains to let sunshine in. I covered my face with my blankets.

“I want sleep!” I grumbled.

“Awww, come on Emily! We’re 18 and graduating from high school today. Get up! Plus, Grandma Mary and Aunt Clara are here,” Elijah said and I covered my head with my pillow, “And they made chocolate chip pancakes.” Elijah said and I popped out of bed yelling chocolate and seeing his smirking face and we ran downstairs. We saw a hot batch of pancakes on the table with bacon and sausage and some toast. We immediately sat down and dug in.

“Emily, you should put on a sweater. It is very cold down here and you shouldn’t show too much of your shoulders in the morning.” Grandma Mary, my mother’s mom said looking at my white tank top on and my yellow guitar PJ’s.

I got up deciding not to argue with my grandma, I rolled my blue eyes and got up with my messy dark brown hair up in a bun bouncing as I walked down the hall to grab my white robe sweater from the front hall closet and I noticed Elijah snickering at me as I walked back and I smacked him upside his head. James now 12 and Jennifer now 14 ran into the kitchen after I sat down.

“Where’s momma?” James asked Aunt Clara in his southern accent. Elijah and I were the only two in the family who didn’t have a thick southern accent.

“Your momma had an emergency at the dentist’s office. She will meet us at your brother and sister’s graduation.” Aunt Clara said in her thick southern accent.

Mom almost always now was working ever since James started kindergarten. I was practically the mother of the house when Aunt Clara wasn’t there on during the week, I got the weekend off. Elijah had always been the man of the house since middle school. I then noticed James playing with the syrup and I grabbed the bottle out of his hands before the syrup went flying all over the kitchen.

“James, stop playin’ with that syrup bottle! Do you want to take another bath right after you took one last night?” I said putting the syrup bottle away on the highest shelf.

“NO I do not want to take another bath!” James yelled and Aunt Clara hushed up James.

“Kids you better hurry up and eat cause you got to get to your graduation!” Aunt Clara said and we quickly finished eating and ran upstairs to change. I jumped into the shower and then curled my hair and changed into my white sweetheart top empire waist spaghetti strap knee length flowy dress.

Later that morning/afternoon…….

“I now give you the Rivenville High School fighting Phoenix’s graduating class of 2007!” Principal Owen said and we all cheered and threw our hats into the air. We were outside in the schools outdoor amphitheater and everyone was dressed in our gold robes and then quickly grabbed our hats and sat back down for the closing specials, “Now we will have some special performances from our honorary students. First to go are our named most likely to become famous boy and girl singing “What dreams are made of” from our spring musical and the song is written by our most likely to succeed, Elijah Wood. So, without further ado I give you Hugh Dancy and Emily Wood!” Principal Owen said and Hugh and I walked to the front of the stage and hugged our principal and then hugged each other. He was one of my brother’s best friends and also one of my best friends.

“You ready to do this?” he whispered.

“For one last ride? You bet I am.” I whispered back and we laughed and then grabbed the microphones as the music began.

Hugh: Have you ever seen such a beautiful night
Me: I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright
Hugh: When I see you smile and I go oh oh oh
Me: I would never want to miss this
Hugh: In my heart, I know what this is

Me: This is what dreams are made of
Hugh: This is what dreams are made of
Me: I've got
Together: Somewhere I belong
Hugh: I've got
Together: Somebody to love
Me: This what dreams are made of


Just then the music got faster and I Hugh walked away from me and whispered in my ear, “It’s your time to shine superstar.” He smiled and walked off. I gulped and knew him and Elijah planned this. They always thought the song should just be sung by me since they recorded me on a demo tape just singing the song by myself, so this is probably their last prank on me. I then began singing the song.

Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now

Have you ever seen such a beautiful night
I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright
Then I see you smiling as I go oh, oh, oh
I would never want to miss this
Cause in my heart I know what this is

Chorus:
Hey now, hey now,
This is what dreams are made of
Hey now, hey now,
This is what dreams are made of
I’ve got somewhere I belong
I’ve got somebody to love
This is what dreams are made of

(Hey now, hey now, hey now this is what dreams are made of)

Have you ever wondered what life is about
You could search the world and never figure it out (figure it out)
You don’t have to sail all the oceans no, no, no
Happiness is no mystery
It’s here and now
It’s you and me, yea

Chorus: x1

(Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now)

Open your eyes (this is what dreams are made of)
Shout to the sky (this is what dreams are made of)
Then I see you smiling as I go oh, oh, oh
Yesterday my life was duller
Now everything's techni-color

Hey now, hey now,
This is what dreams are made of
Hey now, hey now,
This is what dreams are made of
I’ve got somewhere I belong
I’ve got somebody to love
This is what dreams, dreams
This is what dreams are made of
Hey now, hey now (hey, hey, hey)
Hey now (hey, hey, hey)
This is what dreams hey now hey now (hey, hey, hey)
This is what dreams are
Dreams are made of


I finished singing to see everyone give me and Hugh a standing ovation. I then saw my whole family including my mom smiling and crying at my performance. I bowed and went back to my seat and I hugged my brother.

“I’ll kill you and Hugh later.” I whispered in his ear and he laughed.

“No, you will thank us later. At least someday.” Elijah said and I smacked him upside the head. After graduation we all met up in the school gazebo for pictures.

“We are graduates!!!” Naomi yelled running towards me with her light brown curly hair bouncing in the wind and her brown eyes sparkling as she attacked me into a giant bear hug.

“Yes, we finally graduated and I didn’t think the genius one over here would make it.” I said pointing to Elijah and he noticed and smacked my arm and then I smacked him back and we began a smacking fight. Naomi rolled her eyes at us and walked off to find her family.

“Hey, hey! Kids stop that now! Ya’ll just graduated high school, now stand still so I can take pictures.” Mom said and Elijah and I stopped fighting.

“He/She started it!” We both screamed at the same time pointing to each other.

“I don’t care who started it, now pose for pictures.” Mom said and Elijah and I hugged and posed for pictures. We both by the end of all the whole family on my mother’s side taking pictures had smiles glued to our faces.

“ELIJAH! EMILY!!” Hugh yelled running to me and Elijah as he and Naomi ran toward us.

“What?!” Elijah and I yelled at the same time.

“There is a major huge graduation party at Sean’s house. It is in 2 hours. You guys should come with us, we will take my car.” Hugh said excitedly and my blue eyes and Elijah’s blue eyes lit up with excitement.

“Can we go now?” Elijah asked.

“Sure, we can go pick up some lunch and then head over to his house in our clothes we’re wearing now. Well, without the robes of course.” Hugh said and we laughed. Elijah and I turned to mom.

“Mom can we go?” Elijah asked.

“We will be home by 11, we promise.” I said.

“Please?” We both said in unison.

“Well…….” Mom said taping her chin with her finger.

“Please Mrs. Wood?” Hugh and Naomi said in unison with all 4 of us giving her puppy eyes and the puppy lip.

“Alright go. But ya’ll better be home by 11 and no exceptions. NO drinking alcohol or any other bad things. Bye and have fun.” Mom said.

“Thanks mom!” Elijah and I said in unison as we kissed her on her cheeks and threw off our robes and tossed them to Jennifer and James and ran off to Hugh’s car with Naomi and Hugh.

Later that night……….

“This party rocks Sean!” Elijah yelled running back over to Sean and hugging him for the 10th time that night, “Dude, we are never gonna see each other again! We’re going to college!” Elijah yelled acting like an idiot.

“Elijah sit down and stop blubberin’ like an idiot or get your ass on stage and sing.” Sean said pushing him away.

“Hey! There ain’t no way you are gonna get me to sing. I only sing for shows not karaoke.” Elijah said walking away from Sean and sitting on the couch next to me and Naomi. There were about 25% of our class at that party that night and it was so much fun! Karaoke, movies, truth or dare, and of course the classic spin the bottle which was earlier in the evening and we had finished that about an hour ago after one couple took 20 minutes up in the closet.

“Well, if you won’t et up there who will?” Sean said and then he looked at me.

“No way Sean! I sang at Graduation and so did Hugh so we are out! And plus we both have already sang 3 songs up there. Get somebody else.” I said getting up and shaking my finger in his face and walking off to get some punch.

“Alright then. Let’s have….. Naomi.” Sean said and he practically pushed Naomi up on stage.

“Sean! What? Come on! Not fair!” Naomi yelled as she was pushed up on stage and we all picked out a song for her to sing. We picked ‘Why Not’ By Hilary Duff. Yeah, she sometimes might be over rated but this song just was perfect for Naomi who like me, Elijah, and Hugh always wanted to get out of here and onto better and bigger things.

You act like you don’t know me
When you see me on the street
You’re makin’ like I turn you off
When I know you think I’m sweet

I don’t have to be like that
I guess you’re insecure
If you say what’s on your mind
I might answer ‘sure’

So I walk a little slower
And try to catch your eye
Sometimes, it’s hard to see
The good things passing by

There may never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make you move
Or when the time is right

Chorus
Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So…..why not
Why not


“Hey, guys. I’ve been meaning to talk to you. Look, I am traveling up to NYC to get myself out in the Broadway and stage scene there. I was thinking though before I immediately go to NYC, that I wanted to take a road trip around the country. Do you guys want to come? I mean you two have always said about going out to LA for jobs a year before college and why not do it now. Like the song Naomi singing, why not now?” Hugh said coming over to me and Elijah and we raised our eyebrows intrigued.

“You mean take a roadtrip across country and then end it in LA?” I asked.

“Yeah. I was hoping you guys would say yes, because I already made flight arrangements from LAX to JFK airport. I want to fly out of LA to NYC. I’ve always wanted to take a road trip across country. So, you guys up for it? I was thinking of asking Naomi if she wanted to join us.” Hugh said and I looked at Elijah while Naomi continued.

You always dress in yellow
When you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you’re told

You keep waiting where you are
For what, you’ll never know
Let’s just get into your car
And go, baby, go

Chorus

Oh….oh
I could be the one
For you
Oh…..yeah
Maybe yes,
Maybe no
Oh….oh

It could be the thing to do
What I’m saying is
You gotta let me know


“Do you want to do this Elijah?” I asked him looking at him and his eyes sparkled.

“More than ever Em. Come on, we can go live out our dreams. We’ve saved money for the past 7 years from the money dad left us and form work. Do you want to?” Elijah asked and Naomi continued singing.

You’ll never get to heaven or even to LA
If you don’t believe there’s a way
Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But….why not
Why not


“Ok, lets. Why not?” I said smiling and Elijah smiled and we hugged and Hugh hugged us both.

“Great guys we leave in 2 days.” Hugh said and he ran off to go call his house or whatever he was going to do and Naomi finished the song with the chorus and everyone clapped when she was finished and I ran off to tell her.

“Naomi! Guess what?!” I yelled running up to her.

“What? Elijah thinks I am the most beautiful woman in the world and likes my singing and wants to get married to me and have kids with me and grow old with me until the end of time?” Naomi said with her eyes sparkling.

“Uh….no, at least not that I know of. Anyways, in 2 days me, Elijah, Hugh, and you if you want to are going to go on a cross country road trip!” I said and her jaw dropped, “What?” I said as she looked at me like I was crazy. I was so excited about the up and coming road trip that it didn’t bother me if she thought I was crazy.

Can't wait for more! Ttfn!

Ambrosia - April 5, 2006 02:15 AM (GMT)
haha! I think its so cute that South Carolina has a southern accent. People from here in South Louisiana would think its a 'wee' bit too north to be southern....heck, they even think North Louisiana is too north to be southern. :laugh: Gotta love us rajun cajuns.

Anyhow, glad to see they have grown up to be well-rounded kids. They seemed to have a nice graduation, and I liked the singing part. The roadtrip sounds hella cool. ^_^

Airefeaiel - April 5, 2006 05:38 AM (GMT)
So, that song 'What Dreams are made of' is like my favourite, and I'm not ashamed to say, I know all the words and love the Lizzie McGuire movie!

You'd be surprised with how many South Carolinians have thick southern accents. (Me, thankfully not being one of them growing up in a northern raised family home, but lived in the south most of my life. :lol: ) I didn't know you were from Louisianna Amber! Were you hit by the Hurrican earlier this year? I hope not. :unsure: Sorry, for bringing that up if you did I was just curious.

~Chapter 2~

Yesterday is just a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes
This your life
And today is all you’ve got now
And today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes


~Elizabeth POV~

“So, do you have any references from working with children?” The gray haired woman named Mrs. Shelly asked. I thought day care owners were young beautiful women not little gray haired old ladies.

“I use to baby-sit my little cousins back in Ireland. Does that count?” I said hesitantly with my brown eyes looking around nervously and I started to fiddle with my brown-red shoulder length hair nervously. She kept looking at my folder. I had been working for the past 3 year’s non stop in either a restaurant or a little shop here in Louisville.

See, I ran away from my home in Dublin, Ireland 3 years ago when I was 15. My father hated me ever since I was born because my mother died when I was born and all of my life he treated me like scum and sometimes verbally abused me. I had a small apartment here in Louisville, but I do want to get out of here as soon as possible because it just isn’t my kind of town. They are too much about family here and I need to get out of her as soon as I can. I’ve heard New York City or LA is a good place to start.

“So, Miss Andrews, you have no other experience with children?” Mrs. Shelly said looking over her horned rimed glasses at me with her grey eyes looking like they were trying to read my mind.

“No ma’am. Look, please give me a chance. I am really great with kids and I love kids a lot. I really need this job to pay my rent, please give me a chance.” I begged, I hated begging but I had no choice.

“I will give you a chance but let lay some ground rules. One, you have to not wear your earrings or your chocker necklace, the babies and toddlers will pull on them when you hold them. Two, no inviting friends or boyfriends to the day care center, no exceptions. Three, wear clothes you can get dirty in and look respectable, meaning no sweats or ripped jeans and no rude saying tee shirts. And finally, four, please be kind to all customers and follow the rules for each of the children.” Mrs. Shelly said standing up and walking over to her office door and out into the center.

“Oh, thank you Mrs. Shelly.” I said excitedly standing up and running over to her and I was about to hug her when I stopped and just shook her hand.

“You start tomorrow at 8 am sharp.” Mrs. Shelly said and she walked off to go work. I was so happy but event though I really didn’t want to work too much with kids, I like them but them sometimes get on my nerves. I will have to live just so I can pay rent. I guess America isn’t totally the land of opportunity, just the land of half way there opportunity.

~Rosalie POV~

“Welcome to the happiest place on earth! Now, I hope you enjoy your stay and please somebody shoot me.” I said taking tickets at the gates of the park, before my Sleeping Beauty shift for the Cinderella-bration show in 2 hours.

“Rosalie! Rosalie! Roger, roger Rosalie Evans, report!” My walkie talkie screamed at me.

“What do you want Orlando?!” I asked screaming into the walkie talkie.

“Geez, the heat getting to you out there?” He asked.

“Yes and the annoying people who are- “ I started to say and then I noticed some customers looking at me like I was crazy at the booth and I put up my closed sign and let people move to the next line, “I am just getting annoyed with some of our customers in line today. Now what do you want?” I asked.

“We need you down at the costume/make-up center, the show’s an hour early today and get your butt down here now before Phil kills the entire cast!” Orlando said and I quickly locked my booth and ran through the park to the employee/cast member building. I love my job, only when I get to be Sleeping Beauty, other times maybe not. I walked down the concrete steps into the basement and grabbed my costume and wig. I went into the women’s dressing room and changed and put my blonde wig on over my red hair up in a pony tail under a cap and went down to see Kelly to do my make-up.

I came to Florida when I was 18, now 21, to try and get an agent to get myself off the ground in my acting career, but the only way to pay for my agent and an apartment is to work here at Disney. Most people working here at Disney World are struggling actors. I hated my middle-class life and I really want to go to LA but that’s not gonna happen any time soon. So, I live with Orlando, Florida for right now. Funny thing is one of my best friends here at Disney is Orlando, he was from England and he only moved here about 4 years ago after his dad got a job transfer and remarried and he goes to college here in Florida, he is also a struggling actor like me.

I walked upstairs into the waiting room to see Orlando all dressed up in his Prince Charming outfit and having another fight with Brittany, who is Cinderella. They tried dating about a year ago but she dumped him and she always complains to him about her life problems and yells at him when something in her personal life or professional life goes wrong blaming him.

“Look, Brittany you broke up with me and that’s your fault and I don’t want to date you again. On stage when I kiss you it’s ACTING! Geez, stop blaming me for you relationship problems.” Orlando yelled.

“Hey Dave, what’s going on?” I asked Dave who plays Prince Phillip and is one of my best gay friends.

“Brittany blamed Orlando for her boyfriend breaking up with her this morning and she wants him to stop flirting with her but she wants him to date her again to get her boyfriend, Jack or James or whatever his name is, back by making him jealous.” Dave said and I rolled my green eyes.

“That woman’s got problems.” I said.

“I’ll say, she is going about getting her boyfriend Jack or James or whatever his name is back all the wrong way.” Dave said and I laughed and then Paul came running in throwing on his King outfit.

“Sorry everybody. Ok, I am now ready to go.” Paul said just as Phil walked in.

“Alright everybody lets get ready to go.” Phil said leading us down the concrete underground hallway and stopped us when we got underneath the Cinderella-bration stage. We took the elevator up into the closed castle and got ready to go out for the show.

“Break a leg Rosalie.” Orlando whispered in my ear as he got on his platform to go outside.

“Thanks Orlando.” I whispered back and he kissed my hand before Brittany slapped him and they heard the music and went out for the performance.

“Alright, Rosalie and Dave your next.” Mark the stage manager whispered and Dave took my hand we heard our cue and went out and began dancing for the show with the crowd cheering and clapping. God, I love this job.

~Natalie POV~

“Natalie! Get your butt back to work!” John yelled from inside the Italian Café where I worked as a waitress. One of the fanciest Italian restaurants in New York City. I was standing outside watching the actors go inside their theater across the street and I sighed. Geez, that would be so nice to live the theater life, performing on stage listening to the crowd cheer after every performance for you no matter what part you had, even if you were just a person who walked through the forest once or twice in the show. That would be amazing but I am just a waitress and I just on my break eating a bagel watching the actors go inside that theater without actually doing something about me becoming one of those people going in the theater.

“Natalie! Are you deaf?! Get your ass inside now! We got customers waiting!” John yelled.

“I’m coming! God, I am on my break!” I yelled back feeling my brown eyes turn red with rage at him cutting my break short. He slammed the door shut and went back inside. I quickly threw my long to the end of my ribcage length dark brown almost black hair up in a bun and walked back inside. I was wearing my waitress uniform which was black pants with a nice white blouse. Sometimes I wore a black skirt but I didn’t feel like dressing up in a skirt.

I went inside and grab my pad and black pen and went outside and began taking orders. On my about 15th order I was walking out when some little kid dropped his toy and I tripped and dropped all the food I had been carrying all over me.

“Nice one Natalie.” Mark said leaning over me. He was my ex-boyfriend and a jerk.

“Oh shut up Mark!” I said standing up and cleaning up all the food. I walked over to the table whose food it was, “I am so sorry about your orders. You will get a full refund and I will go and get your orders re-ordered in the kitchen. I am very sorry.” I said and then I picked up the little boys toy at the next table and handed it to the parents, “You had better watch your child and his toys.” I said angrily and then I left to go to the kitchen but Mark followed me. I stopped him before he followed me into the kitchen, “Look, what do you want?!” I whispered angrily.

“I just wanted to come over and say hi and see if you were free next Saturday?” Mark asked with one of his cheesy smiles. He had the perfect blonde hair and perfect green eyes, but on the inside he wasn’t perfect, he was an ass hole.

“No, we broke up because you were cheating on me and I don’t want to go out with some sleez bag like you and leave me alone before I charge a restraining order!” I half whispered half yelled and then I went into the kitchen told them to make table 25’s order again and then I went in the back and changed into my extra clothes. God, I would give anything to get out of this town for a while and away from Mark and John. I need a desperate 2 month vacation or a year vacation from New York City.

~Magnolia POV~

I sat on the bus watching DC pass me by with my brown hair blowing in the wind from the open wind in front of me. My brown eyes gazed at the monuments standing tall above me and it was pretty amazing for about 5 minutes and then it got old. We pulled up to the old church and stone building which would be my home for the next 3 years as I finished out graduate school. I am 21 years old and excited about meeting people from around the world at this great place. The bus stopped and we all pilled out.

“Welcome Ladies to the Convent in Washington DC.” The nun said walking toward us and I dropped my bags in shock.

“My parents sent me to a convent for graduate school?!?!” I yelled.

“Excuse me miss, is there a problem?” The nun asked walking over to me.

“Yes sister there is a problem, I shouldn’t b here. I am not going to become a nun.” I said and the nun laughed.

“Not every girl who comes here becomes a nun, but don’t worry. You will have a wonderful time here.” The nun said showing me inside and she took all of us girls to our dorm rooms and after she showed me into my room, I collapsed on my bed and screamed.

“I’ve got to get out of here! I need to get out of here. I don’t want to go to school at a convent. My parents have set me up!” I yelled to no one in particular. I had to get out of that place as soon as I can.

~Annamarie POV~

“Annamarie, get your butt up on the cat walk now!!” Margaret yelled at me as I sat in my chair talking on my cell phone with my step brother.

“Hey, look I better let you go get ready for work and my stage manager is yelling at me to get on the cat walk. I’ll call you when I get back. I love you and can’t wait to have you visit next month. Yes, mom is good but she always says she hates being with your dad even though the next day she says she loves him. Alright, I got to go before I lose my job and you lose yours. Love ya, bye.” I said quickly hanging up my phone, fixing my bra, putting my shoes on , and getting in line to go onto the cat walk in the latest styles by Calvin Klein.

I am stationed in Chicago but travel around the world to do fashion shows for Calvin Klein, Channel, Versace (sometimes), Gucci, and Levi jeans. I right now as I walked down the cat walk in Paris only there for a one night show and leaving right after this show to get on a red eye plane back to Chicago in time for a the Chicago fashion show for Levi jeans. After I did a little hair flip with my blonde just past the shoulder length hair, walked backstage and then went back out for the bow and then quickly ran backstage and changed and then left waving to the French paparazzi and got in the limo on the way to the airport.

God it’s weird that only 2 years ago I was still living in Orlando, Florida with my mom, my step-dad, my step-brother, and my little sister. I was only 16 when they signed me to model for Calvin Klein. They saw me at a local mall fashion show and wanted me to sign to be their model for the next 4 years plus signing to do other shows too. I am only 18 years old and a world famous model. I looked out the window and watched the Eiffel Tower pass me by and my green eyes sparkled at the beautiful city. We then arrived at the airport and shuffled onto the plane and took off for the states. God, I love life but only one thing is missing, love.

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything that you dreamed
That it would be when the world was younger,
And you had everything to lose?

Hey Kit-Kat!!
That was wicked! I love that y9ou introduced ALL the characters in the same chapter. I can't wait to see what happens with everyone cause they all seem to have such different lives!

QUOTE
See, I ran away from my home in Dublin, Ireland 3 years ago when I was 15. My father hated me ever since I was born because my mother died when I was born and all of my life he treated me like scum and sometimes verbally abused me. I had a small apartment here in Louisville, but I do want to get out of here as soon as possible because it just isn’t my kind of town. They are too much about family here and I need to get out of her as soon as I can. I’ve heard New York City or LA is a good place to start


wow thats one heck of a reason to have to leave!! :eek:

I will give you a chance but let lay some ground rules. One, you have to not wear your earrings or your chocker necklace, the babies and toddlers will pull on them when you hold them.

And finally, four, please be kind to all customers and follow the rules for each of the children.

A/N: Alrighty, an update for you all and Sammi should be done with the banners soon. Here’s an update. By the way this chapter is going to contain a lot of songs because I fell a road trip needs good music for when it gets started till when it ends, so bear with me if I use a lot of music in my chapters.

~Chapter 3~

’cause you’re free
To do what you want to do
You’ve got to live your life
Do what you want to do


“Yo! Emily! Get your butt out here! We’ve got to go!” Elijah yelled outside standing by his silver Ford Escape. It had enough room for us and 3 more people in the back, well depending on when we got our bags in the back with our few boxes we were taking incase we stayed filled with our DVDs, games for Xbox and Playstation2, and a portable DVD player, a regular DVD player, and a small TV. Geez, you’d think we were leaving for 4 years, well we could be, ya never know.

I grabbed my 3 bags, my rolling suitcase, my messenger bag, and my duffle bag. I had packed almost half of my closet and my whole dresser. I walked downstairs dragging my bags with me.

“Good God Emily! How many bags are you bringing?” Elijah asked when I got outside and I put my stuff in the back with his stuff and our 3 boxes.

“How many do you have Elijah?” I asked with raised eyebrows.

“Only 2! Are you ever gonna change clothes?!” I asked.

“Yes, I might buy clothes along the way.” Elijah said and I rolled my eyes.

“Alright you two now get over here and give your momma a hug.” Mom said and we went over and hugged her goodbye, “Now call me every time you stop for the night and you know the rules. No drinking, no drugs, no smoking, and of course no S-E-“ Mom started to say but we cut her off.

“We know mom!” Elijah and I yelled at the same time rolling our eyes.

“Alright, ya’ll give your aunt Clara a hug and your grandma and your cousins and just give everyone a hug goodbye.” Aunt Clara said walking over to us and giving us a big hug. She was a lot like that cooking lady on the Food Network, Paula Deen. She practically was my Aunt! I swear on my dead dog. Anyways, me and Elijah hugged our whole family goodbye and we then got in the car to head on the road when a Ford forrest green Explorer pulled up, it was Hugh and Naomi. Naomi was riding in Hugh’s car and Naomi jumped out and handed us a walkie-talkie.

“This is for just incase our cell phones die. Alright, we will follow you.” Naomi said and she hugged us both and when she pulled away from Elijah she blushed awkwardly and then ran back into Hugh’s car and they followed us as we drove away and onto the highway that would take us North to the upstate and then we would travel from there onto our whole USA road trip destination. As soon as I put in a CD to listen to as we drove onto the highway my cell rang.

“Hello?” I asked.

“WE’RE GOING TO TRAVEL AROUND THE COUNTRY!! WOOT! WOOT!” Naomi yelled in my ear and Elijah laughed at me as I pulled the phone away from my ear.

“Yo, Naomi. Could you be any more louder?” Elijah yelled back into the phone as I still held it away from my ear.

“How much more louder would you like me to be? I can be as loud as you want.” Naomi said and Elijah laughed and I made a gross face and I could Hugh Laughing in the background.

“Ok, can we get off that subject. I will talk to you later.” I said to Naomi and then we both hung up and I played the CD. It was a road trip CD Elijah made by burning all of our favorite songs or songs that sounded good for a road trip.

You take my hand
And you hold my heart
You stand by me
And I can touch the stars
I can see eternity
In your eyes
Now we're looking
For a tune forever
And as long as
We can go together
We can get there
We can fly
There's no dream
Too far away, there's
No hope to high
If we follow the feelings
That answers our prayers
And this love of destiny
As long as we believe
We can get there


I looked at Elijah when that first part of the song started, it was the song we heard playing on the radio when we left our home in Iowa. The only reason we remembered that is because the song reminded us of how much we wanted to get away and follow our dreams and our love for each other and how we were going to stick together no matter what.

There's no mistake
That we met like this
We sealed our fate
With our first kiss
Let the light in our hearts
Lead the way
To the paradise
We discovered
Holding on to each other


At least that’s what the first part told us the second part just grossed us out when we were little cause we weren’t like that, we weren’t the weird southern type. Then Elijah joined me in singing the chorus part and we sang the rest of the song together.

We can get there
We can fly
There's no dream
Too far away, there's
No hope too high
If we follow the feelings
That answers our prayers
And this love of destiny
As long as we believe
We can get there

(I know, oh,
Baby, baby)
Ohh
Now we're looking
For a tune forever
And as long as
We can go together
To the paradise
We discovered
Holding on to each other

We can get there
We can fly
(Oh) There's no dream
Too far away, there's
No hope to high
If we follow the feelings
That answers our prayers

Gave me something
To believe
You and I were meant to be
Come inside my heart
You'll see
That's the place
That we'd be free
In this love of destiny
Darling you and me
We can get there


After we finished singing we both had tears in our eyes. We both thought that song meant something that day we left Iowa with the song saying we can fly, we can get there to conquer our dreams.

“Ok, next song. More a happy one please.” I said and Elijah laughed.

“Don’t worry it is a better one.” He said as we get driving along the highway. The next song was of course, Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’. He couldn’t help putting that song in could he. He put it in there because when we heard that song I called him the American Idiot and for a while that was his nickname.

~later that night~

It was about 9 at night and we had finally arrived in Atlanta. Good God was it a long drive just to get there. We decided we would head over to Captain’s Bar and Grill for a late dinner. We walked in and took a booth up in the bar area. The place reminded you of being below deck on a cruise ship in the main dinning area and below deck of a pirate ship in the bar dinning area.

“Hi, welcome to Captain’s. I’m Suzie and I will be your sever this evening, what can I get ya’ll to drink?” Suzie asked wearing a short black mini-skirt and a white pirate shirt with black high heeled stiletto boots.

“We’ll just take 4 Coke’s.” Elijah said and she wrote that down and walked over to the bar.

“Yo! Johnny! I need 4 Coke’s for table # 4 in the bar dinning area! I’m leaving for the night, so you can take the rest of their order!” Suzie yelled and then the bar tender who we thought must’ve been Johnny, got our drinks and brought them to our table.

“Here ya go. I’m Johnny Depp the bartender here at Captains and I will be your server for the rest of the evening. We are having a slow night at the bar and my assistant Harry will take of the drinks, so I can take your orders.” Johnny said smiling as he handed us our drinks.

“Thanks.” We all said and then we took our orders. After about a while after we got our food, Elijah pulled out the map and we began plotting our road trip.

“Ok, here’s the plan. We will travel down to Florida and take some time in DisneyWorld there, then we will travel over into New Orleans so we can see that city then we will travel back north going through Tennessee and North Carolina into D.C. then onto NYC then from there go into the Midwest through Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Iowa, and so on. Then we travel West looking at Montana and other places then we travel into the southwest looking at Texas and Arizona and Nevada and then into California. Sounds good?” Elijah asked.

“Sounds cool.” We all said in unison.

“You guys are taking a road trip?” Johnny asked leaning over our booth.

“Yes.” I said.

“I’ve always wanted to see the country and get out of Atlanta. Can I join you? I’ll take my own car.” Johnny said and I noticed the desperate look in his eyes to get away.

“I think it would be great to have someone else join us. Are you guys cool with that?” I asked Elijah and the others.

“It’s fine.” They all said.

“But, we need to know some background info just for safety.” Elijah said and Johnny told us his whole life story about him growing up in Atlanta and how he loves to travel but can never get anywhere and how he wants to be photographer some day too. He was a nice guy and no freak who would rape us like Elijah was thinking but I don’t blame him for trying to be safe when we just met the guy.

“So, can I come?” Johnny asked.

“Yeah, the more the merrier.” Elijah said and Johnny smiled big.

“Great I will meet you guys back here tomorrow morning at 10 AM.” Johnny said and he ran off to go quit his job. I laughed at him being all giddy.

“Well, this is going to be an interesting trip.” Naomi said watching him run off and we all laughed. Yep, it certainly was.

’cause you’re free
To do what you want to do
You’ve got to live your life
Do what you want to do

You’ve got to live your life

You’ve got to live your life

~Chapter 4~

Ready for the big time, ready for the small
Whatever's comin' to me, I'll be ready for it all
Sometimes it ain't easy, sometimes its not polite
Some days I don't get it, some days I get it right


We woke up bright and early the next morning and met Johnny at the restaurant from the night before. As me and Naomi were stanfing there waiting we decided to turn on the car radio and we heard one of our favorite songs, The Girl Can Rock.

“Naomi, will you join me in rocking it out?” I asked trying to be proper.

“Why of course I will.” Naomi said copying me and we began to sing the song.

Hey!

Ready for the big time, ready for the small
Whatever's comin' to me, I'll be ready for it all
Sometimes it ain't easy, sometimes its not polite
Some days I don't get it, some days I get it right

(Chorus:)
It's in my heart, it's in my head
Thats what i said

Hey Boys are you ready for the shock
I'm living proof, the girls can rock
Spread the new around every single block
Hey boys, the girl can rock


The guys were looking at us like we were nutcases and laughing at us as we acted like girl rock stars holding microphones which were actually our hairbrushes in the restaurant parking lot. We then continued singing.

Standin' in the spotlight workin' up a sweat
Givin' all i got and lovin' what i get
I can't hold back what i feel inside
And if i make you nervous, you better step aside

(Chorus)

The girl can rock
Don't say maybe or call me 'baby'
I ain't crazy at all

(Chorus 2x)

I'm gonna live it up
I'll never give it up
I'm gonna spread the news around the block
It ain't no shock...the girl can rock (3x)

Yeah, Rock!


We finished to a round of applause from Hugh, Elijah, and Johnny. Wait, Johnny?!?

“You girls were great!” Johnny said and we gasped, we didn’t realize when he had shown up.

“Thanks Johnny.” We said in unison blushing a deep red.

“Alright, lets get moving if we want to make it to Orlando by midnight and be able to be awake to go to Disney World tomorrow!” Elijah said starting to get into our car.

“We are spending more than one day in Disney World right?” Naomi and Hugh asked shocked.

“Of course!” Me and Elijah said in unison.

“Twins.” Naomi and Hugh mumbled as they got in their car and Johnny got in his black vintage 1976 Ford mustang and Naomi and I immediately began drooling over his car when she saw it.

“Mustang.” We both sighed as we saw his car.

“Let’s go ladies!” Elijah and Hugh yelled, “Disney World is calling!” They yelled and we laughed and got in the cars.

~Next day~

“We are in Disney World!” Naomi and I yelled jumping on our cream colored bed sheets in the Downtown Disney hotel that we had stayed in the night before when we arrived in Orlando at 8 PM we decided it would be easier to get room in Disney World so we wouldn’t have to pay loads of money to keep paying to come back into the park each day we were here.

“Would you two shut-up!?” Johnny, Hugh, and Elijah said from our suit room next door. We got a steal of a deal by getting a suit with 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds in each room and a small kitchen/family room and one small bathroom. Ha! Like one bathroom was going to last with us here. We were going to fight for the death for that bathroom.

“Some of us are trying to catch up on some sleep here!” Elijah and Hugh yelled. Silly boys, who can sleep when they are Disney World? We’ve been awake for 2 hours and it is only 8 AM. The park doesn’t open until 9 but we wanted to be up early before the rush and before the guys got the bathroom. I ran into the guy’s room and jumped on Elijah’s bed.

“Get up sleepy head! We are in Disney World and the rides, the princesses, the characters, Mickey, and so much more are calling us!” I yelled jumping on his bed and he groaned as he sat up in bed.

“You are one annoying twin you know that?” He said sitting up glaring at me with his hair all bed-head like

“I know but you still love me.” I said as I kissed the top of his head and Hugh and Johnny sat up in their bed and screamed when they saw me covering up with their sheets.

“Emily! Get out!” They yelled and I giggled and walked out of the room. About 30 minutes later, everyone was changed and ready to go and we went down for breakfast and decided to go explore the park.

“Lets go to Animal Kingdom first and then we can do all the other stuff later. Plus we’ve got 3 hours before the Cinderella-bration shoe and we don’t want to miss that, so lets go!” The guys said and we raced off to Animal Kingdom.


~Rosalie POV~

I walked out of the animal Kingdom after just taking tickets for the Safari ride. As I was walking out this group of about 5 people went running by me into the Animal Kingdom and knocked me down.

“Hey watch it!” I yelled as I fell flat on my ass as they ran by.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” The girls said running over and one of the guys came over and began to help me up.

“I am really sorry, we didn’t see you.” He said and I looked up into his deep brown eyes and I gasped. He had tan skin and dark brown eyes, and about ear length dark brown hair. He was the most handsome man I had ever met and he smiled as he helped me up and I immediately felt my knees go weak and I began to fall back down put he held me firmly by the arms for support, “Are you alright?” He asked and I shook my head to get myself out of this crazy trance.

“I’m fine.” I said softly, great why did my shy side have to come out now! THIS WAS A HOT GUY! SAY SOMETHING IDIOT!

“Good, well I have to go, sorry about that again, bye.” He said smiling after a long pause of me just staring at his glorious beauty and he ran off with his friends. As soon as they were out of sight I began jumping up and down screaming at myself.

“Idiot, idiot, IDIOT! YOU EFFING IDIOT! WHY DIDN’T YOU FUC-“ I cut myself off noticing others around me looking at me strange and mothers beginning to cover their children’s ears. I didn’t care if they looked at me funny because I am a Drama Queen, but I have got to watch my potty mouth around the little kids so I don’t get fired. I smiled and quickly ran away to go get ready for the show. I ran down the dark stairs again and went into the costume warehouse and got my dress and got my wig and went into hair and make-up, where I met up with my best buddy.

“Hey Rosa, what’s up?” He asked noticing how I was mumbling curse words under my breath.

“I met a really hot guy in park and I didn’t even say more than 3 words to him!” Is aid plopping down in the make-up chair next to him.

“I’m sorry. You’ll probably see him around again anyway over the next few days, did you get his name at least?” Orlando asked as he was getting his Prince Charming make-up done.

“No.” I said as I began pouting as Maria put on my blonde wig.

“Awwww, cheer up Rosa, everything will work out. What did he look like?” Orlando asked curious trying to make me feel better.

“He kinda looked like he could be related to you but much more better looking.” I said joking around.

“Ha, ha, ha. Very funny you evil bugger.” Orlando said not finding my comment amusing and I just laughed.

“I was kidding but he did look like he could be related to you. He had gorgeous dark brown eyes, beautiful ear length brown hair, and tan skin and a bright glorious smile.” I said and I heard myself give a small sigh.

“I thought you never were the strong romantic love-dovey type and here you are swooning over this guy, who you don’t even know and just met!” Orlando said laughing as he curly locks began getting gel put in them to be back some for the show.

“Just because I said I don’t like all of that romantic shit, doesn’t mean I can’t fall for a guy.” I said defiantly as Maria began to put my make-up on.

“Uh-huh. You turning into a romantic chic.” Orlando said under his breath and I hit him on the knee.

“Shut-up Bloom!” I said and we both laughed.

~Normal POV~

“Come on! We’re gonna miss the show! Lets go!” I said dragging Elijah and Hugh and Johnny with the help of Naomi over to Cinderella’s castle for the show.

“Alright, alright we are coming!” They yelled as we reached the front of the stage to see the show. We heard the music and the princesses with their princes came out dancing and I noticed that Sleeping Beauty looked like the girl we had knocked over as we came running into the Animal Kingdom. Then Prince Charming came forward and I gasped.

“Oh my God!” I whispered. He was the most handsome guy I had ever seen with dark curly brown hair and tan skin and from what I could tell he had dark chocolate brown eyes. Oh wow, was he hot!

“Wow, I think the guy who is Aladdin is pretty hot.” Naomi said and I shook my head no.

“No way, Prince Charming is way hotter.” I said and she looked at him.

“Yeah he is good looking too.” Naomi said and then the Princes each gave a woman a rose and Aladdin gave Naomi one and I felt Elijah shift uncomfortably next to me and I looked at him with raised eyebrows. Then Prince Charming kneeled down and gave me a red rose and winked at me. I was right he had gorgeous chocolate brown eyes. I think I was falling for Prince Charming; I am now officially not leaving Disney World.

Hey Boys are you ready for the shock
I'm living proof, the girls can rock
Spread the new around every single block
Hey boys, the girl can rock

This was cute. And don't worry about the exams, I feel ya there. *stabs self* Gah. I hate AP/IB exams... <_<

I like how Rosa went all fluttery and then almost cussed out little kids. :lol:

And how Rosa and Em had virtually identical reactions to Johnny and Orlando.

They were cute in the hotel room, but I'm afraid I'd be with the boys, SLEEPING!!! And, I don't really get the DisneyWorld/Land hype, but okay. :yay: I can pretend, right? Sometimes.

OMG I'd do Johnny for his car ALONNNNNE!!!!!!

:drool:
