"YES! We're off!" cried Janet, hopping into the passenger's side of Michelle's black Jeep Grand Cherokee.
"Woohoo!" yelled Janet, turning on the engine in the driver's side of her car.
"I just wish we didn't have to leave so early in the morning," complained Michelle.
"Oh, quit complaining. It's better if we get there early than to be late," said Janet.
"True, true. OK, let's go then! What are we waiting for?!" cried Michelle, barely being able to control her enthusiasm.
"Nothing! OK, we're off! Good-bye Orlando, hello Miami!" yelled Janet, slightly laughing at the sudden change in attitude from Michelle.
"How long have we been driving?" asked Janet groggily as she woke from her nap.
"Ah, I see someone finally decided to wake up. It's about time, sleepy head!" said Michelle.
"Haha, very funny. But you still haven't answered my question yet!" said Janet.
"Oh, I'd say we've been driving for a good 3 hours now. And I think we have 3 more to go," replied Michelle.
"Only 3 hours?! I feel like I've slept for 30 hours!" cried Janet.
"You always say that Janet! I envy you. You're one of those few people who can sleep for a few hours and feel totally refreshed, as if waking up a day later or something. How DO you do it, Janet?" asked Michelle, pretending to be mystified, yet fascinated.
"I don't know," replied Janet earnestly. "I guess it's just a gift."
"OK, you can wipe that proud smile off your face now," said Michelle.
"Umm...Michelle, do you know where we are right now?" asked Janet worriedly.
"Uh, yeah, I think so," replied Michelle casually, trying to hide her nervousness.
"Are you sure? Cause we've been driving through this intersection for the past 20 minutes now and I'm starting to get worried," said Janet, becoming anxious.
"Honestly, no! I don't know where we are or where we're going! I'm sorry! Please, just kill me later after the concert, if we actually get there in time," cried Michelle.
"Ugh, Michelle, why didn't you follow the map?!" asked Janet.
"Cause, uh, I kinda lost it when I took a pit stop while you were napping," replied Michelle meekly.
"You WHAT?! Oh great, just great! Now how are we gonna find our way to the concert? Much less Miami?!" yelled Janet in frustration.
"Look, I'm sorry! Why don't we just stop by at that gas station up there and get a new map?" said Michelle, trying to find any possible solution to the mess she had unwillingly begun.
"Fine. But let ME do the talking," said Janet.
"OK, OK, whatever you say your highness!" replied Michelle, bowing to Janet as she got out of the car and headed towards the gas station.
"Oh shuddup, Michelle," said Janet sternly.
******
"Hey, um...dude, where are we?!" asked Michelle to the funny-looking gas station employee.
"Huh? I'm afraid I do not understand," said the employee in a strange Middle Eastern accent.
"Oh, pardon my mentally deranged friend here. What she means is, we've seemed to have gotten a little lost because Michelle over here lost our map to lead us to Miami," said Janet, pointing to the outraged Michelle.
"Oh, um...I see ma'am. But, you see, you are already in Miami," replied the employee.
"Oh, we are? Great! I guess we're not so lost after all, Janet! I demand an apology!" cried Michelle.
"Dont' make me hurt you Michelle," threatened Janet. "You still lost the directions to the Arial Theater."
"Oh yeah, uh, hehe," said Michelle sheepishly.
"Yeah, hehe, haha...NOT!" cried Janet.
"Um..ladies, would you like to buy some delicious twinkies?" interrupted the employee.
"Uh, no, that's OK. But may we ask you one more thing?" asked Janet.
"Sure, but I will only answer it if you buy some twinkies!" said the employee.
"What?! Is that legal?! cried Michelle.
"I don't know, ma'am. All I DO know is that if I don't get rid - err - sell the rest of these twinkies, I will be fired for sure!"
"This is insane!" yelled Janet.
"Damn right!" agreed Michelle.
"Think what you like, but I have my job to worry about here," said the now obnoxious employee.
"ARGH! The people in this world!" cried Janet.
"Come on Janet, let's just go somewhere else and ask for help, cause it looks like we're not gonna get any here," said Michelle, glaring at the employee.
"No, wait! Let's make a little deal. I'll tell you the directions to the Arial Theater if you only buy one pack of twinkies, just ONE pack!" yelled the employee to the girls as they were leaving through the door.
"You just don't give up, do you?" ask Janet.
"Ugh, let's just buy the damn twinkies and get the directions and get out of here!" cried Michelle.
"OK, fine, whatever. I just wanna hurry up and see *N Sync damnit!" cried Janet.
"Well? Are you going to tell us where the Arial Theater is or what?" asked Michelle, annoyed.
"You must buy the twinkies first," said the employee.
"ARGH! Fine, how much?" cried Janet, slamming the twinkies onto the counter.
"That'll be 99 cents ma'am," replied the smiling employee happily.
"Here's a dollar. Keep the stupid change," said Janet.
"Thank you ma'am," said the employee.
"Now, give us the directions please!" said Michelle.
"OK, but I seemed to have forgotten to tell you one little thing," said the employee sheepishly.
"And what's that?" asked Janet.
"I know the directions to 2 different concert theaters, but I forget the names of them. I'm afraid I'll just have to give you both," said the employee, trying to avoid looking them in the eye.
"What?! Ugh, fine! Just hurry and give us both so we can finally be on our way," said Janet.
******
"Thank you, have a nice day. Please come again!" said the employee as the girls left through the door.
"Please come again my ASS!" cried Janet angrily.
"Calm down Janet! At least we got that over with. Don't worry, we have directions now," said Michelle, trying to calm down Janet.
"If you hadn't lost the freaking map, we could have even had to go through all that mess!" yelled Janet.
"Look, I'm sorry! But it's over now, so just get over it!" cried Michelle.
"I guess you're right. OK, let's try this one first," said Janet, pointing to the first list of instructions on the paper.
"OK," said Michelle, hopping into the driver's seat of her Jeep.
