Story Title: Cross Country with the PC and BB

Summary: The PC and BB have just gotten their drivers license. So what's a better idea than going on a road trip? Except for one leetle problem. The exes hate their exes. Meaning Massie and Derrick, Claire and Cam, and their scheming genius friends will not stop at nothing to get them back together. Let's the wheels get to rolling!

Massie Block could not believe it. Her so called friend, Dylan Marvil, was following her through The Westchester, asking her to go on a road trip with the Briarwood Boys. "C'mon Mass," Dylan pleaded. "I promised Chris that I'd get everyone to come, and everyone has agreed except for you." "Even Kuh-laire?" Massie asked in disbelief. "Even Claire," Dylan affirmed. Massie paused for a moment. "Why did she agree to go? Last time we talked, she said if she ever saw Cam again, she would kill him, have him brought back to life, and kill him multiple times. "No, you said if you ever saw Derrington again, you would kill him, have him brought back to life, and kill him multiple times. Claire just agreed with you," Dylan corrected. "Well, I guess can't go then if you guys don't want Derrick dead," Massie said.

"OK, Mass. You forced me," Dylan said. Massie narrowed her amber eyes to slits and gave Dylan a look. "Well, Derrick said and I quote 'if she doesn't agree, tell her that I'll make a deal with her. If she survives the road trip sitting next to me, she wins five hundred bucks. If she doesn't survive, she owes me five hundred dollars. Un quote." Dylan gave Massie an innocent smile. Massie's eyebrow raised on its own, the way it did whenever she was offered a challenge."

"Well," Massie said coolly, "consider it done, done, and done." She stalked of towards Starbucks, where the rest of the PC was seated. "But there is absolutely no way in the world our parents are going to agree with five boys and girls together for a whole summer." Dylan all of a sudden became very interested in her cuticles. "They already agreed, didn't they?" Massie demanded. Dylan nodded guiltily. "UGGHHH," Massie let out a frustrated scream and stomped into Starbucks.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Massie asked. "I mean, I haven't been close to Derrington in four years, and suddenly, I'm spending my tanning time practically in his lap!" "Life isn't fair! Life is so not fair!" "Don't loose your cool, Mass," an amused Alicia said. She was obviously excited about the trip. But then again, why wouldn't she be. Her and Josh had been going out for four years, and hadn't broken up yet.

"Personally, I think I should get a thousand dollars for sitting next to him," Massie said. "You haven't won yet," Kristen reminded her. "I never lose," Massie deadpanned. She took a sip of the latte the waitress had just sat in front of her. "So I was talking to Kemp," Kristen said. "We leave in four days." Massie almost choked. "Excuse me? Four days? Four days? Four days is not enough time to get a whole summer wardrobe or get a mani and pedi that'd last for three months. This trip is running my life." "Relax Mass," Claire said soothingly. "I'm sure everything will go just fine." Massie rolled her eyes. Nothing went right if it was with the PC and BB.

Exactly four days later, after a lunch of apple slices and Waldorf salads, the PC and BB assembled at the Block Estate. Derrick leaned over and whispered in Massie's ear, "It's not too late to change your mind." His warm breath made Massie shiver as she shook her head.

Everyone's stuff had been loaded into the huge RV except for Massie's. "Man, Block, how much stuff did you bring?" Derrick huffed from behind an armful of Louis Vuitton luggage. Massie twirled a brunette curl on her finger and shrugged.

When at long last her stuff was in the luggage compartment, Kemp ordered for everyone to take a bathroom break. The plan was for them to be out of New York by the end of the day. Once inside, they would decide rather to go north or south first. Massie made sure Miami was in the itinerary, and they all wanted to go too Vegas, even though they wasn't exactly sure if they could.

Kendra and William Block were there to see them off. While Kendra spent time making sure everyone had their cell phones and credit cards, William was trying to convince them that he had cameras installed in the RV and that he would be able to see their every move. Massie talked her parents out of giving them "The Talk."

Finally, after twenty more minutes, everyone was ready to go. Massie made a point of staying away from her ex for as long as possible and walked alongside the PC as they made their way towards the huge vehicle. "You sure you can drive that big thing?" Alicia asked skeptically. "Surer than sure," Josh assured his girlfriend.

When Massie stepped in, it was as if she had entered another world. The RV's interior was a soft crème color. The leather seats were also crème. "Wow, does this place have a swimming pool?" Alicia joked. "Actually, it does," Kemp said. He led the way across the RV and sure enough, there in the middle of the floor was a pool. "I could get used to this," Dylan said with a nod of her head.

"OK!" Derrick clapped his hands together to get everyone's attention. "Today, we plan on getting out of the New York state, but we don't know if we should go north first, or south." "I don't care which way we go," Massie said. "As long as I get to go too Miami." "How about north first," Kristen suggested. "You know how the saying goes, save the best for last." "Who said south was better than north?" Chris asked. "How long are we going to sit here?" Kemp complained. "I want to get going." "That's another thing," Derrick said, staring at his clipboard. "Who's driving first?" "I'll go first," Josh said quickly. He snatched the keys away from Derrick. "Me first," Cam said, snatching them from Josh. "Do we get a chance to drive?" Claire asked, indicating her and the PC. The boys stared at each other. "Well, we didn't count on you guys wanting too," Derrick began. He looked up and caught Massie's Look. "But you can if you want," he finished in a rush. "Then I'll go first," Claire said. She plucked the keys from Cam's hand and walked back to the front of the RV.

Cam caught Derrick's eye and shrugged. "Be careful!" Cam called to her. Claire didn't respond. "I'll go next," Kristen said. "I'm taking a nap," Massie said. She took off in the same direction as Claire and plopped down in one of the seats, feeling surprisingly comfortable. Everyone followed her, plopping down in seats. "Here's a cover," Derrick said as he took a seat next to her. Massie gave him a small smile as she took the purple fabric from his hands. After turning the seat on vibrate and leaning it back, Massie closed her eyes. She could feel the RV moving below her. After three minutes she heard: "So north or south first?"
