Nico & Violet

"Roadtrip!" Manny yelped he would ride shotgun.

"I don't think so," Violet's brother Kenzo piped in. It was his Sole and he was driving. "Don't you have a job or something?"

Violet winced, wondering why Manny thought he was going.

"What about Wren?" Violet didn't want to babysit her too.

Manny rolled his eyes at the notion that he would have to be responsible for her while they were out of town.

Of course, all Nico's input was a stare down.

Violet shook her head if only she could go on her own vacation alone. But she was with Nico now. She knew he was set in his ways. Still, this was getting a bit ridiculous. Did she have to spell it out for them?

1. You pack a suitcase.
2. You get in the car.
3. Go

But these people all had different ideas. She knew if Nico was driving they would stop at nothing until they got there. Kenzo, on the other hand, would stop at every tourist trap possible and probably drink with the locals. And then Manny came along as if he needed this getaway more than anyone.

"Don't tell me, you lost your job?" Nico yelled. It was not a question.

"Well, it wasn't a very good job, you know." Manny squinted as if he had bigger ambitions than being a convenient clerk.

Nico turned to fume. Violet knew he was no help to Manny.

"How in the world did you two ever become friends?" Kenzo looked at both of them as if they were losers.

"Look, if we're all going," Violet started. "Let's all try to get along."

She went to make sandwiches. They needed to stop bickering.
