Brooke twirled a light lock of her bleach blond hair in her fingertips. She looks at her cousin in the drivers seat and frowns.

(Brooke): I'm bored

She said for the fifth time in four minutes. Her hazel eyes were gloomy and her usually energetic demeanor gone.Occasionally sipping at the ice water.

(Brooke): There is nothing to do in Topeka! Or anywhere around this god-forsaken state anyway!!

Hunter frowned and looked at her, the retriever mix shook his head.

(Hunter): I'm not the one who wanted to leave home and go 'see the world' well now we're stuck in KANSAS!!! Nowheresville USA.

Suddenly, lightning blasted across the sky and she squealed and fell back in her seat.
The black clouds above offered no mercy as heavy drops fell unceasing from the sky and upon the windshield of the small Jaguar convertable.

(Brooke): Kansas is horrible! Can't we just go back to New York?!

A flash of bright light above shook her to the core. The lightning was almost immediately followed by a roaring thunder. She screams and jumped up from her seat and right into Hunter, he shouted and suddenly veered the car to the right, sending them both to the side. Fortunatly, the road they were traveling on was empty, so the car crashed into some small bushes, though not severly damaged. Hunter grunted and looked up from his place on the steering wheel, giving his cousin the 'evil eye'.

(Hunter): BROOKE!!Why the hell did you do that???!!!

The golden retriever/doberman mix looked at him sheepishly.

(Brooke): Sorry luv... lightning scares me....

(Hunter):*sarchastically* Really?

He sighed and tried to get the car started up again, the engine almost immediatly purred to life, he gave a sigh of relief and tried to get the car out of the side of the road. Suddenly, he heard a load POP and the front left side of the car went down. His eyes widened, and then he bagan to whimper, hitting his head against the car horn.

(Hunter): Bloody hell...the devil hath stolen my luck...

(Brooke): Shouldn't we just replace the wheel...?

(Hunter): We already did! When it popped back up in Vermont!

(Brooke): So we don't have any spare tires then...?

(Hunter) *sarchastically* However did you guess?

She was about to reply when he simply opened the door and stepped outside, inspecting the damage. She heard him yell and kick the wheel, then start hopping up and down, clutching his foot and shouting curses.

(Hunter): Mother fu-- Hell spawn of a car!!!

He shook his head, as the rain poured down on him. He hung his ears.

(Hunter): Toto...I don't think we're in New York anymore...

Suddenly, it seemed his prayers were answered when two headlights flashed in the rain. A smile broke out on his face and he waved, signaling for help. That is..until he got splashed by a giant ice mud puddle before the car stopped. He jogged over to the window, still covered in mud.

(Hunter): Hey, do you think you could give a couple of people a hand of help here?

**** Suddenly, two huge Harley Davidson motorcycles pull up to their car. The two drivers set their kickstands and straddle off their bikes. They remove their helmets to reveal... ****

(Gila Monster): Hey yous guys! Ya needs any help?

(Princess): I could use my cell phone to call your Auto Club...

(Gila Monster, pulls out 2 x 4): Auto club? I've got my own CLUB right here!

DRIVER [on cell phone]: Yeah I'll call you back. Alright? Bye.

(Phone beeps as it hangs up.)

DRIVER: Sorry about that, that puddle was to big to drive around. Do you need to call someone?

posted 07-27-2002 06:01 PM            

(Hunter): Actually, 'former leader' of the Rovers, I'm retired... but a cell phone would be a great help right now.

Suddenly, lighning once again tore its way through the differings shades of gray of the heavans and thundered boomed. He turned to the person in the car.

(Hunter): But... alas, it's storming, I don't think you could get a call through this mess.

Suddenly a voice called out to him.

(Brooke): Hunter! How are things going?!

At the curious look of the two people, he smiled sheepishly.

(Hunter): I'm on a trip with my cousin and my child, along with my child's friend. They're in the back, in the Jag.

(Princess): That's wonderful Hunter! Is that your pup in the back of your car?

(Gila Monster): Shoot! I didn't even know about it! Maybe I could still buys the little one a present, like a mini 2 x 4 or somethin' useful..

(Princess): Gila! You don't buy a baby a hunk of lumber!

(Gila Monster): HEY! What's wrong with that? If I was a kid, I'd love to have a 2 x 4 to bash all of my playmates with and ...

(Princess, shakes head): Why do you love violence so much?

(Gila Monster): Hey! Everybody's gotta have a hobby!

A blast of wind shot out of the northwest and sent great sheets of rain down onto their heads. The sky was packed with clouds and they looked as if they were trying to touch the ground. The closed in atmosphere had a claustrophobic quality that made the others nervous.

The wind eased and stopped. It became almost silent, except for the occasional crash of thunder. The calmness created a dangerous atmosphere which instilled fear in their very souls...

On the horizon, Hunter and the others saw a hint of a funnel shape descending toward the waving grass. The funnel thickened and started to kick up debris at its contact point.

(Hunter): This is my daughter, her name is Siella, her mother is an Australian shepard.

A young, very fluffy boy puppy suddenly stirred next to her, snapping wide awake, large, violently gray eyes suddenly scanning the horizon. He was predominatly reddish brown and white, with a black mask across his eyes, and two large, black, floppy, hound like ears fell from either side of his face. Siella whimpered next to him and frowned. Hunter shook his head.

(Hunter): That one is Auricann, Blitz's kid.

Suddenly, Auri started to whimper, Hunter blinked and looked to where he was gesturing. His eyes widened in absolute fear.

(Hunter): Oh my god!!! Everyone! Down into that ditch!!! It's a tornado!!

He grabbed both pups and fell down into the small depression the car had landed in. Brooke soon followed suit.

DRIVER: You four better hop in we need to get outa here.

(Without warning A loud boom scares them as lightning strikes a tree close by them causing the tree to split in two pieces. It was very loud and brite as half of the tree lands in the middle of the road burning. The driver looks back at hunter.)

DRIVER: Now would be a good time, LETS GO!!

posted 07-29-2002 04:20 PM            

(Hunter): *yelling over the wind.* You'll be safer in this car than on those bikes!! Please come in!

*He settled the two pups and frowned, the green male looked very reluctant.

(Hunter): PLEASE!

(Princess, determined): No time to argue!

**** Using her special power, Princess 'freezes' time, opens one of the passenger doors and pushes her 'frozen' boyfriend into the car ****

(Princess, panting): I have to ... hurry.. only have ... a minute....

**** She gets him inside the car, climbs in and closes the door just as time 'unfreezes'. The tornado now approaches them ****

(Gila): HEY! How'd I git in here?

(Princess): We better hope that the tornado veers away from us....
