"Christmas town?" Code asked.
                              
"Calm your tits, Jack Skellington. It's summer," Gwen poked him with her elbow.
                              
"Maybe people are doing something here," Snake badly explained. We all knew what he meant though. After many years, you start to learn to understand his language.
                              
"He's right, look at that sign over there!"  Jake said enthusiastically. Apparently there was some kind of festival a few miles ahead. Obviously I ignored google maps and went in that direction.

                              
"What if it's a nudist festival?" Code asked.
                              
"Why? Why would you even think something like that?" I asked. I suddenly realised how many times I've said that sentence to Code. 
                              
"Shronion," Code shrugged.
                              
Layers. Right.
                              
When we arrived at the festival, it was a sight to see. It was filled with hippies. Woodstock would've been jealous. People were all tripping on shrooms. Some of them were actually naked. The music was all psychedelic.
                              
We were definitely too sober for that shit.
                              
"Did you seee the pretty lights?" some dude asked us but didn't stick around to find out the answer.
                              
"I think we found Code's people," Gwen said.
                              
"Sober Code is the same as a person high on shrooms? I totally understand," Snake answered. We all did. Even Code was nodding along.
                              
An hour later, I'd lost most of my friends. We had the tendency to always split up for some weird reason. Snake was hanging around with me. We were both drinking something that had a neon pink color. It was probably poison or drugs but it tasted sweet. So I drank it.
                              
"What if this is something trippy too? We might be stuck here forever. We can't drive like this," Snake told me.
                              
"Dude, not all of us are gonna drink... ah, yes. I see what you mean," I laughed. Everybody was probably drinking something.
                              
"The music isn't that bad anymore. Man, I must be baked as fuck," Snake giggled.
                              
"Or you're just enjoying anything that's not part of our road trip playlist," I snorted.
                              
"I swear to God, I'm this close to killing Code," Snake said while spilling most of his weird neon colored drink.
                              
The more we drank, the more fun this festival got. We were convinced something was in that drink that made us high as a fucking kite. The colors were so vibrant, the conversations with people were interesting and the music was kinda relaxing after a while. We swayed along with the beats.
                              
"W-we should probably get back to the car," I yelled to Snake. It was the only way he could hear me since the music was pretty loud.
                              
"No, man! I'm scared. We're high, Jill, they'll judge us," Snake said while hugging himself. "I feel naked and vulnerable," the bear of a guy said which made me laugh. That caused him to giggle and so began the vicious cycle.
                              
"But seriously though," I said with a goofy smile. "Car."
                              
We made our way through the crowd and when we finally got back to the car, we noticed the rest of the gang was already waiting for us.
                              
"Shh, act normal," Snake whispered but we were already so close that the rest had heard it too.
                              
"Snake! Please. Okay?" I answered.
                              
"You guys seem... odd," Jake said with an amused glint in his eyes. It was pretty clear that the rest of my friends were still pretty sober.
                              
"The neon drinks man! They totally raped our brains," Snake uttered.
                              
"Dude... there wasn't even alcohol in those drinks. It was just some sugary fucked up drink with a bright color," Jake rolled his eyes.
                              
"But..."
                              
"No, it was just an energy drink. Gwen asked," Jake clarified.
                              
Suddenly, the feeling of being high washed away until I realised I wasn't high at all. I felt energized but the placebo effect had worn off the moment Jake told us there was nothing in those drinks. I was quite embarrassed but when I saw Snake's expression, I knew he felt the same way. For some reason that made me feel a lot better.
                              
We'd been uttering bullshit to each other all night. Sober. We were so stupid. It only took two seconds of eye contact with Snake to know he was thinking the same thing and we burst out in laughter.
                              
"Maybe someone did spike their drinks," I heard Gwen mumble to Jake.
                              
Nope, we were sober as fuck.
                              
We left a few minutes later and I guess that was probably the most eventful thing that happened during our road trip. Other than Code ending up in jail.
                              
We had a lot of laughs and weird conversations with people because we talked in accents, pretending to be tourists. We had lots of drinks and I sang until my voice felt raw.
                              
Oh, you wanna know about Code in jail? Well, it was just Code being Code.
                              
Apparently the town we ended up in was pretty conservative. We were at a grocery store and Code started telling about a documentary he saw about making explosives with a few items you could find in stores and how cool that was. We didn't know why he decided to tell all that crap and we tried to pull him away from the conversation multiple times. I mean, we all saw the panic in the poor man's eyes.
                              
It turns out, he had hit the panic button and a few minutes later, the cops showed up and arrested Code.
                              
He'd told us later that they frisked him and questioned him for an hour. They wanted to know what he was doing in town and it wouldn't surprise me if he was actually banned from that town. Code said he offered the cops a piece of chocolate but they were too afraid to take it. Code is totally somewhere on a terrorist list.
                              
Served him right for being weird.
                              
Gwen actually saved the day by showing up at the police station. She said her brother was a little slow and ended up in a grocery store. She acted like she was so worried and eventually they let Code go.
                              
They advised Gwen to take good care of her brother and not to lose sight of him.
                              
"You fucking fuckwad!" Gwen slapped the back of Code's head the moment they got back to the car.
                              
"Next time, we're leaving you there," she ranted.
                              
"You were a pretty good actress, though," Code grinned.
                              
"Why thank you," Gwen laughed.
                              
"DON'T STOP ME NOOOOW," I was singing half an hour later. We were on our way back home. The week had gone by way too fast. Next week, we'd all get together to talk about the trip. As if living with each other an entire week wasn't enough.
                              
"I swear, I am gonna stop her," Snake said through gritted teeth.
                              
"I'M HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME," I continued.
                              
Eventually they put some chips in my face hole so I'd stop singing. It worked. For a while.
                              
We were all pretty bummed when we arrived back. Even though this trip was pretty weird and fucked up, we still had so much fun. Gwen was off the hook. I think she even sighed in relief when she dropped Jake off and he didn't say anything about a punishment.
                              
"So, how was it? Any big adventures?" Chase asked me after a big hug and kiss.
                              
"Nah, it was pretty normal for us," I shrugged.
