It all started one of those days that you think is gonna be completely boring, but turns out as one of the most exciting days of your life and, even later you can not explain the magnitude of it?

That's how I felt today. Or, more especifically, this morning up to now.

You see, a few years ago, I decided that I was gonna leave the small town I grew up in, to travel around the world, before starting college. You know, like taking a sabbatical or something. Learn things that aren't on a whiteboard or in some teacher's mouth. My parents didn't agree with my plan (I just turned 10, to be honest) and, made the deal with me that, if I could earn money for my 'trip' and proved to be responsible about school and work and mature about it, they would allow one year before college.

I've been working on different jobs around the town since I was ten and one week old.

I didn't have much of a social life when I was young and now, six years later, I don't have one either. I'm OK with that. Really, I am. I'm one of those girls who has friends on the web and that wants to see them at some point of her life (they are gonna be my places to crash when I get the Hell away from this town!). So right now, I'm sitting behind the cash register, talking with my web pals over my phone.

"Another day working and no one comes... So boring!" I texted them, sighing. I saw my other coworkers bored as well, talking and taking candies out of the bending machines. So healthy.

"Be lucky! I'm been stuck at home, doing homework!" Sheila complained. Soon, Mike, Brenda and Joe joined the chat and the conversation shifted towards the new movie that is going to come out and which sides will they take. Friendly conversation turned awkward fast enough into some meme war and stuff. In one word, hilarious!

"Jessica!" I got hit by some candy and I turned to see my agreesor, glaring at it. Josh, my coworker, was smirking at me "Thought you were hungry..."

"And, throwing snacks at my head will resolve the problem how?" I argued back, raising an eyebrow. For some reason, guys think I'm easy to handle when in reality... I'm not.

"Um, allowing you to eat?" Ben supplied. I rolled my eyes and threw the snack back at their heads, perfect aim, before taking out my snack: baby carrots. I adore my baby carrots!

"Veggie freak..." Josh teased me, while I was eating, but I cared little about it. And he couldn't help but to snicker when I took a selfie of me biting one for my friends with the caption 'feeling like a jotun'. The comments didn't wait much, all of them were laughs and LOLs.

Before any of my coworkers would have the time to say something that would end with one of them with their head open, the bell opened and a trio of guys walked in. OK, maybe I should specified that one was a girl. So, one pair of guys and a girl.

The girl was average hight. Her brownish dark hair was pulled back with a red/orange bandanna that actually fit her. Her skin was tanned, but she didn't looked like the kind of girl that would stay under the sun without moving. Her eyes were slightly orange, more towards the brown and they were nice to see. Her hands were inside her pockets and walked in as if she didn't like the attention.

The first guy was short and had the facials of a ferret. Not because of that was any less cute. His hair, which he seemed to wear a little longer than now, was the same shade as the girl and the lines of his tan had the same as the girl. In fact, he was really similar to the girl, which made me believe they were relatives.

The last guy walked in like he owned the place. Seriously, he exude so much confidence it was contagious. Just like the other two, he had brownish dark hair, but his was slightly curly in the edges. His eyes were covered by glasses and his skin was tanner than the other two, but it could be by his Latino ascendance. Yes, I'm good deciphering those kind of things. From his left hand, he was playing with his keys.

"I still don't understand why we can't make the Ares' Cabin do it for us, instead of being here and paying for it..." The first guy huffed, obviously not pleased of coming here. I tried not to put a bad face and the smile I was taught to.

"Welcome to our car wash, lady and gentlemen!" I greeted them "What would you like?" The guy with the glasses took them off and gave me a smirk.

"Just wash and wax, thank you" the girl replied before him, with a stern look. I write that down and gave it to Ben.

"Can I have the keys, please?" The girl handed me the keys (that she took from the second guy, who protested) and I handed them to Josh. After they paid, I saw a long line ready to be served "Wow..." I mumbled to myself.

"Jess, Jessica!" Walter called me, serious and worried. I excused myself for a second before looking at him "You'll have to tell the costumers that service is delay for ten minutes..." I raised an eyebrow, not understanding "Our driers are broken-"

"Hey! What you think you three are doing?!" I shared a look with Walter at Josh's shouting and go out to see what was happening. I walked out to see the three siblings from before, messing around with our machines "Step away from there! If you break it, you'll pay for it!" Josh threaten.

"Relax, BeachBoy..." The guy that had the sunglasses smiled cockily. I had to hid a short in agreement "We're making your machines work again..."

"And, ready!" The girl wiped away some sweat from her face, but stained her face with a little grease, making her look that she was coming out of war. I heard the machines running again.

"Please, come wait in the shop... We'll have your car ready in less than twenty minutes" Walter promised, serious to the guys "Jessica, why don't you take this lady to the bathroom, to clean herself up?" It was obvious even to a deaf person that that wasn't a suggestion.

"Sure, boss" I answered, guiding the girl towards the bathroom.

Even if I didn't knew it that day, I met my best friend for life!

Hello!!

Well, first of all, I want to say that I was touched by your comments in my special chapter 'Urgent! Inspiration: Needed'. I thought long and hard how to start that story and, with a bit of luck from my side, I'll post it between Percabeth's birthday (between July and August). That story will feature (also, hoping that, for that moment, I launch my website/blog!) family trees of the original canon, so for you people who expected Reynico or Thaluke... Sorry!! (Which doesn't mean I won't make family trees about those too)

Also, next weekend, I'm gonna post a special chapter from my 'peak-a-boo' genderbent-futurist Percabeth story (remember, Annie and Peter?) well, get ready for some genderbent Caleo and RARA! All I'm saying!

OH! Last thing, I wanna dedicate this chapter to my fellow writers/friends McCanner, DarthRath, Fairy Lori, Sfrostwolf, Kat B and many others I'm forgetting, because this chapter is dedicated to you! ROADTRIP!

See you guys around!
