(ooc: Wow! Seriously, I didn't expect SO many of you guys to offer a place to crash for Shawn. It warms his spirit! Since he's quite serious about the road trip but, should you all really go along with it, I am really not capable of putting up SO MANY threads - this is his one big road-trip post. If your muse still has a warm place on the couch for him and of course only if you are interested in playing something out you can just reply here with whatever you want - your muse doing daily stuff before Shawn decides to show up, song lyrics, a nice picture of a pineapple might pull him in as well... whatever you feel like. :D)

As soon as he left Santa Barbara behind he already knew this had been the right decision.

Hell, his father could accuse him of running away ten times a day for all he cared. Henry wouldn't understand that facing things wasn't going to help right now - when you were ill you at least let the chicken soup cool down a little before you forced it down your throat, right? And this chicken soup was way too hot right now. Also, he doubted that it would benefit his health but that was a completely different matter altogether.

But this, hitting the road on his Norton, this was what he needed right now, the freedom of just getting out of it for now, of feeling the wind on his face.

Not that he did feel the wind because he wasn't stupid enough to drive without a helmet, but still. The metaphorical wind indirectly on his face as he contemplated his first stop. Yeah, he just had to clear his head, cool down and - most important - have a good time. When Santa Barbara got him back he and everything else would be back to normal again.

At least that's what he hoped. He wouldn't have it any other way.

Chuck heard the doorbell and saved his game. He then got up and walked to the door. He wasn't expecting anyone and wondered who would be dropping by.

He opened the door and was pleasantly surprised to see Shawn there.

"Hey buddy. Welcome to Los Angeles. C'mon in!"

"Hey yourself!" Shawn grinned, entering, taking a look around. "This place is nice. I know this is kinda unexpected, I mean, it's not a problem, is it? Seems pretty empty in here to me. Person-wise, I mean. Not from the indoor decoration."

"Thanks! Well right now, I'm the only one here. But my sister Ellie and her fiancé will be back in a bit."

Chuck then closed the door after Shawn entered and then continued, "I don't think it would be. I mean, we got a couch and...I think we got one of those air mattresses around." Chuck then motioned to the kitchen and asked, "So anyway, can I get ya anything to drink or something?"

"Yeah, you got some juice? Vitamins sound like a good thing right now." Shawn thought about it for a moment and confirmed his last thought with a nod. "Vitamins it is. Nothing better for long travels. Apart from warm clothes of course. And a map. But vitamins? Vital!"

Chuck nodded as he opened the fridge. "So, what brings you to this neck of the woods?" he asked as he looked for some juice.

A moment later, he spied a carton of oj. "Yeah, we got some orange juice. Is that all right?" Chuck replied as he pulled the carton out of the refrigerator.

"Orange is fine, yeah!" Shawn called over to him while taking another good look around. "Oh, you know, nothing in particular. Just a random road trip. Getting some fresh air."

Chuck took out a glass from the cupboard and poured Shawn some juice. "Fresh air huh?" Chuck asked smirking a bit. "You do realize you're in LA, right?" he joked.

He chuckled as he put the carton of juice back into the fridge. Then he walked to Shawn and gave him the glass. "But yeah, it's pretty cool just to get out of town for a bit. See new stuff, that's sorta thing."

He thought it would best to say that much to show Shawn he wasn't going to pry if he didn't feel like talking about the real reason he was on his road trip.

Shawn took a long sip, sighing contently when the cool juice (and the holy vitamins) hit his system. "Yeah, it's good for clearing your head. Sometimes that whole psychic stuff can totally clutter your mind."

"Oh...yeah, I mean, sure I guess it would," Chuck replied with slight nod. "I mean...I wouldn't know. Not psychic or anything but I mean, with all the stuff that I guess comes through, I could only imagine."

Chuck decided to bring up a subject he knew a lot more about. "So...Shawn? You up for that all night X-Box challenge we talked about having someday?"

A huge grin broke out on his face. "Anytime, dude. Anytime." With another sip he emptied the glass and put it back on the counter. "What games are on the table?"

"Well, I got a demo of the new Call of Duty game. And I got Halo 3 and I got a couple of guitars for Guitar Hero. I got some older stuff on the X-Box too. You in the mood for a particular type of game?" Chuck asked.

"Guitar Hero sounds good. You know what they say, travel long, loosen muscles with guitars. Old Japanese saying from..." Shawn thought for a moment. "When did they build the first guitars?"

"You know...that's a good question. I have no idea. But the Wiki would know." Chuck then went into his room and loaded up Wikipedia on his computer. "Um...kinda says the first ancestor of the guitar was made...5,000 years in India. But the Wiki thinks it derived from the sitar. So...hmm."

He then shrugged. "But, who cares about that stuff. I mean it's modern guitars we care about now!" He held up the two Guitar Hero guitars and then set up the game.

"We should totally invent a Sitar Hero. ... Do you think they got a Sitar Hero in Arabia?" Shawn grinned, snatching away one of the guitars and warming up his fingers. Jumping around a little.

"I dunno if they do. But man, we'd could make a fortune if they didn't already have it and we invented it!" Chuck then grinned and began to warm up as well.

He selected the game menu and asked, "Shall we start off easy with a little 'Slow Ride?'"

Shawn nodded in agreement. "Sounds good to me. Even trained ninja masters make warm ups before they go all amazing on their dojo, don't they?"

"Uh, sure!" Chuck replied with a chuckle. Chuck didn't mind Shawn's random comments but he then hoped Casey was taking the night off from listening in on his conversations. He had a feeling that if Casey was, Chuck would hear Casey's annoyance tomorrow when he ran into him at work.

A moment later though, Chuck decided to forget about Casey as he selected 'Slow Ride' from the game menu.

"Slow ride, take it easy," he sang as he played the cords.
