"Well. We finally get to leave for tour today," Chester commented as we put our bags into the car. We were leaving to meet with the others and get onto our buses. The tour had to be post-poned for a couple weeks because our manager had some family problems to handle first.

"Yeah I know," I agreed, putting the last suitcase into the back of the van and shutting it, "I've been ready for this tour forever."

Benji and Joel then came out, Benji holding Mina and Joel holding Ty. "That was fast," Joel smiled at us, "You guys must be really eager to go."

"Damn right we are," Chester grinned, "Where's the dogs?"

"Inside," Benji replied, handing Mina to me, "We're gonna get them last. Is there enough room in back for them?"

"Yeah," I nodded, putting mina into her carseat and strapping her in while Joel did the same for Ty.

"Now I'm glad we got a big van," Joel chuckled, "We wouldn't all fit into the car otherwise."

"Tell me about it," I replied, sitting beside Mina and shutting the door, "Okay. We have both kids in the first passenger seats and me with them. Then the dogs in the backseat. Who's sitting in back with the dogs?"

"Benj is," Joel laughed, climbing into the driver's side, "Chester's sitting with me. So Benji gets Cash and Demon."

I laughed. "You're so cruel to your brother."

"He knows I love him," Joel grinned, "'Sides, he'll live."

I watched as Benji and Chester came back out with Cash and Demon, opening the side door and letting them get in the backseat. "Okay. What about me?" Benji pouted.

"You're in with the dogs," Chester giggled, jumping into the seat beside Joel before Benji could protest. Benji just pouted and sat down, Cash immedietely climbing into his lap and licking his face.

"Poor baby," I smiled, "See, Cash loves you."

"Yeah yeah," he pouted, "You guys are mean."

"We know," Joel laughed, starting up the car, "And you know you love us."
