tune

Charlie jumped slightly but made sure to buckle herself as she happily sang along softly to the soundtrack.

Allie and do hopped in.

"Alright," Asura said, pulling out of the parking lot. "where are we off to?"

"I dunno, but I'm really craving pizza right now." Cam told Asura, reaching to buckle his seat belt.

He nodded, making a turn toward the old pizza place that he liked to go to. "Pizza it is, then."

"Yay!" Charlie paused, then quietly asked, "Is p-pineapp-ple pizza okay-ay with you guys?" She curled up slightly, prepared for a lash back.

Ellie's face brightened. "I'm offended you had to ask!"

Asura's nose wrinkled in disgust. "I mean, yeah, but I'm not sure how you can stand it."

"Sweet and-d savoury go pr-retty well together," Charlie paused and quickly added, "in my opinion at l-least"

Michael woke up with a jolt. To his surprise, there was no one there. "God dang it!" He took out his phone to call Asura

Asura jumped when his phone rang. Glancing over, he saw that it was Mike. "Make sure there aren't any cops around," he told the passengers as he reached over to pick up the phone. "What do you want, Michael?"

Charlie kept her head looking out the window, even though her instincts were yelling at her that it wasn't a good idea to help Asura with a slightly illegal activity.

"Dude, did you guys leave me or something?! I could have sat in the back of the van or something, not cool!" He grumbled while he walked outside

He started laughing. "Honestly, I totally forgot you were there. Hold on, I'm coming to pick you up," he said, doing a sharp u-turn that slightly tilted the van.

"Ok thanks." He hung up and started to fiddle with his necklace. He wasn't that hard to forget, was he?

Charlie grabbed at any handhold so she could stop herself from falling onto the other passengers. She softly grunted at the effort and sighed in relief when the turn was complete.

He stepped on the gas so they sped a little, then did another sharp turn into the parking lot of the school, where he found Michael waiting.

Michael kept himself from flipping Asura off before waiting for the van to stop. When it did he opened the back doors and slid in. "Thanks for turning around at least."

"Next time, give us a little warning when you do a turn like that." Cam, who had slammed into the window, rubbed his forehead.

"No problem," he said, then turned around to face Cam. "Sorry, I'm a crazy driver," he said, exiting the parking lot and making his way to the pizza place again.

"Yeah, the condition of the van gives that away." Cam stated as his stomach growled at him.

"Y-yeah" Charlie would not stop clinging to her seat in case of another unexpected turn or swerve.

Michael laughed. "Dude, you think this van is bad? Try some of the cars that come through my aunt's garage. I swear some of them got chucked off the cliffs or something."

"This isn't even that bad, it just has… personality."
