“I bet he told you everything bad we’ve ever done, huh?” Miller asked, glaring at Trance.

I giggled again.

Not one to be left out, Radar jumped from the floor to the bed, settling in by laying across Trance’s chest and my lap, licking Foster’s face.

“Stop you big galoot.” Foster laughed.

“How did y’all get past Radar and Kosher?” I asked curiously.

“They love us. We actually saw you walking towards his room earlier, so we let y’all have a few minutes before we came to announce our presence.” Foster said as he pulled Radar down until he was laying length wise down the bed.

Kosher, not one to be ignored either, jumped up on Miller’s side and started licking, too.

“The bed’s not supposed to hold this much.” Trance said dryly.

I looked around, surveying the space, still practically giddy inside that I was able to see, albeit not very well. It was good enough for me though. If I never got anything back for the rest of my life, I would be happy.

“So, since everyone’s awake at...” Trance glanced at the watch on his wrist. “4:43 A.M. we can go to breakfast. I don’t have anything to cook. Cracker Barrel or IHOP?”

“Cracker Barrel.”

“Taco Bell.”

“McDonald’s.”

I out right laughed at the exasperation written all over Trance’s face. “Were Taco Bell and McDonald’s even options, dipshits?”

Of course, it was the brothers that’d come up with the two suggestions that weren’t even options. I was a conformist. I was a go with the crowd type of person.

Although, now that they’d mentioned it, Taco Bell did sound pretty good.

Which was how we wound up in Trance’s Tahoe, driving to Taco Bell at five in the morning.

“We need some tunes!” Miller declared loudly, as soon as we were pulling out of Trance’s driveway.

I was in the back with Foster, while Miller sat up front with Trance.

When the only thing Miller found was news programs, I offered my phone. “I have Pandora. You should be able to find anything you want to listen to.”

Greedily, Miller snatched the phone from my hand, plugged it in, and pulled up the Pandora app.

Embarrassingly enough, the first song to come on was Hakuna Matata.

After a few moments of stunned silence, I found myself staring at three grown men, all of them sporting beards, singing the Disney song at the top of their lungs with the windows down.

They were dancing and moving, shaking the SUV with their movement.

Miller even pulled out the old school moves with the sprinkler and the robot.

Laughing my ass off when we pulled up to the stop light one intersection away from Taco Bell, I looked over to see a car full of teenagers staring at us warily.

Then, doing what teenagers do, they revved the engine of their little four door Mazda.

Trance, not one to be out done, kept singing, but made sure to rev his own engine.

Trance’s was louder.

It was a V8 with headers and a Flo Master exhaust. There was never going to be a comparison.
