The sleepy Jen sat in the drivers seat in a daze. "Now start the RV," George almost demanded. She turned the key, and it clicked, before dying. Roxanne cleared her thoat. "Jen, my dear," she said in a falsely sweet tone, "You have to use an electric shock." There was a loud roll of thunder as the hood of the Rust Bucket was suddenly hit by a bolt of lightning. No one in the Rv jumped, however, several people outside ran in fear. Needless to say, the car started. "Thanks Jen," George said, sliding into the driver's seat. They were on the road in moments. Jen had out a map, and was marking a course when George asked. "So... how much does it cost?" "What do you mean?" Roxanne asked lightly. "the contest. They always cost something." "100." "One hundred?" he asked, 'How do you expect us to pay for gas and food?" "I dunno. Thought we'd do a college party or something!" "What?" George asked. "Y'know. Colleges always have a random party going on!" Roxanne screeched, desperately turning to Jen for help. Jen blinked. "Some guys in Richmond really like us, and want us to play at thier frat party." "See!" "I don't like you talking to mortals you doin't know," George said irritably. Jen rolled her eyes. "It's business Bro." "It's settled," Roxanne said, "We'll say we'll do a party gig for 'em. Get a hundred now, and a hundred later."

"Who ish 'ungry?" Parli asked, heading towards the camper from the direction of the little store. She carried with her a bag of random snacks and drinks. "Fruit cake?" Teluna asked hopefully. "Umm...how you say it....ah, 'tough luck'," Parli replied as she entered the camper and sat the bag down on the table. "They 'ave no fruit cake in store. I ask, they did not 'ave."

"I need info on the contest." Galik said, clearly put out with the woman, for not knowing this at first.

"I'm sorry sir, that's the charge," the woman replied. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have many other phone calls to answer." There was a click, signifying she had hung up.

"Hey, guys." Tread said, walking in. "Look what I got." Tread held up a brand new one hundred dollar bill. "How did you get that?" Rebel asked. "Oh, I saw it on the street and thought we could use it." He replied. "Yeah, right." Galik said, eyeing him suspicously. "How did ya get it?" He asked. "Does it matter?" Tread replied. "We have it dont we?"

Troll Bone had stopped in Richmond and had the 100 dollars by mid afternoon. "Mortals," Roxanne said, recounting the money, "Don't ya just love em?" "Sure," Jen said. By now she was fully awake. She had found a flier in Richmond. This was a huge contest, obviosuly being broadcast all across the states. "It says here we only get to play one song, and they don't want one already copywritten and on a cd." "Bummer," George called back from the front. He had been driving now for a good four hours. They really needed a road crew. "What song we gonna do?" "Dunno!" Jen exclaimed back to her half-brother. "I think 'Charade Parade' is sounding pretty good."

Fey Kingdom were well on their way by now. Once again Anna was driving the truck. Parli had managed to convince Teluna to quit making up nonsense rhymes abou the importance of fruit cake and practice a little. So now they were working on 'Stairway to Heaven'. The song was way over-used but Fey Kingdom could make it sound really REALLY good. Aside from participating in the contest, the band was also playing a full set and getting payed well for it. With the recent media interest they'd had, the crowd they brought in would be big.
