chapter 5
The family convoy of three cars pulled out of the driveway, all loaded with snacks, bags, and chaos. They weren’t even halfway down the street before everything went downhill.
---
Car 1 – Alex & Icey
Alex’s hands were glued to the steering wheel, jaw clenched like a soldier heading into battle.
Icey gasped, pointing wildly out the window.
Icey 🎀
Cotton candy! Stop the car, I want it!
Alex replied flatly.
Icey pouted.
Icey 🎀
But it’s fluffy! It’s pink! It’s calling my soul!
Alex
We’re not stopping for every snack on the highway.
Icey 🎀
Ohhh! Alex! Popcorn stall! Pull over!
Icey 🎀
Alex, look! Look! Mango juice! Mango juice! I NEED IT.
Alex
If You scream one more time, I’ll turn this car around!
Icey crossed her arms, tears welling in her eyes.
Icey 🎀
You don’t love me. You only love your stupid cooking.
Then, in dramatic slow-motion, she grabbed his hair and wailed.
Icey 🎀
WHY DID I MARRY SUCH A HEARTLESS MAN?!
Alex
WOMAN! Hands off the driver! You’ll kill us all!
But Icey wouldn’t let go. She was sobbing into his shoulder while smearing lipstick on his shirt.
Alex muttered under his breath,

Alex
Next life, I’m marrying silence
Car 2 – Moonshine & Lian Beb
In the second car, Moonshine sat with her cane across her lap, glaring at the road like she was about to duel it.
Meanwhile, Lian Beb kept fixing his hair in the rearview mirror.
lian beb
Ah, look at this jawline. Look at this skin. Truly, a gift to humanity
Moonshine smacked him with her cane.
Moonshine
Keep your eyes on the road, you narcissistic pigeon!
lian beb
Pigeon?! Excuse you—I am a swan!
Moonshine
Swan? Please. More like a peacock who fell into cheap perfume.
lian beb
Moonshine… your words wound me deeper than any sword.
Moonshine
"Good,” she cackled. “Now focus before you hit that cow.”
The car swerved as Lian panicked.
Moonshine rolled her eyes. “
Moonshine
If we die, at least your funeral picture can be your mirror selfie.
Rosy was in full “general mode,” driving like a tank commander.
Rosy
Sit straight, girls. Hair neat. No chewing gum! We represent this family with dignity!
Snowflake ❄️
Grandma, we’re literally just going on a trip, not meeting royalty.
Rosy shot her a death glare.
Rosy
Don’t talk back. Dignity is dignity!
Kashish whispered to Snowflake,
kashish
She’s scarier than Uncle Deniz.
Snowflake ❄️
Facts. Deniz glares. Grandma kills.
Rosy snapped, slamming the brakes to avoid a rickshaw. Both girls slammed into the seat in front of them.
Rosy
See? That’s why you wear seatbelts
Rosy lectured.
Snowflake muttered,
Snowflake ❄️
Or maybe because you drive like Fast & Furious.
Snowflake smiled sweetly.
Snowflake ❄️
I said… you’re glorious.
At the first pit stop, Alex got out with messy hair and shirt stains, looking like he’d aged ten years.
Moonshine snorted.
Moonshine
What happened to you? Did a tornado marry you?
Alex pointed at Icey, who was already skipping to a snack stall.
Meanwhile, Rosy lined up the girls, fixing their hair while scolding,
Rosy
No chewing, no slouching, no laughing too loud. You’re not hooligans.
Snowflake ❄️
This feels like military training
kashish
Yeah, except Dad’s the soldier, Mom’s the enemy, and Grandma’s the general.
Moonshine overheard and cackled so loud even strangers stared.
Alex groaned, massaging his temples.
Alex
Why did I agree to this trip…
And they hadn’t even reached the relatives yet.
