Aria sat squished between Alex and his baseball gear, on the way to one of his games. Aria hadn't really planned to go, but Penelope and Alex didn't really give her much of a choice.

"Mom, I'm gonna miss the first pitch. Go faster!" Alex groaned

"Alex, you know Mrs. Resnick doesn't go faster. Unless we're going downhill, then she might not stop." Penelope sighed, gripping tighter on the steering wheel 

"We are so late. Just try." He complained, slouching further down into his seat

She slammed the petal to go faster and the car started rattling. Aria held on to her seat, with slight fear of stopping in the middle of LA traffic.

"Mom, I smell gas." Elena said

"All right." Penelope nodded, whipping out a bottle of air freshener to get rid of the smell

"Wow, That smells nice. What is that?" Aria asked, slightly sniffing the air 

"It's Hawaii." She smiled

"Maybe the car's mad because papi stuck it with a name like Mrs. Resnick." Elena joked 

"You know your papi named her after a hot teacher he had a crush on." Penelope informed her kids

"Our math teacher is pretty hot." Aria shrugged, earning a flick from Alex, before she quickly flicked him back. The duo got into a flicking war until Alex decided to speak up about the car, again, "Yeah, but by now I bet Mr. Resnick's traded her in for a younger model."

"That's not funny papito." Penelope snapped

"It's not funny. Society treats middle aged women shamefully. I read a study online-" Elena started, prepared to go on a full on rant 

"Okay, who wants to hear some tunes?" Penelope interrupted

The three kids groaned, as she began to play a sappy live song. Penelope smiled at the song choice and began to sing along. Elena grew annoyed with the obnoxious music and paused it.

"Aw, right before the good part." Penelope complained

"There is no good part." Aria commented 

"That CD has been stuck in this car my whole life." Elena said

"Uh, excuse me? It's a cassingle." Penelope said, offended by Elena's words

All of a sudden the car began to make sounds, and started slowing down. Aria looked out the window and noticed the other cars attempting to pass the one they were in.

"Why are we slowing down? Who turned on the AC? You know Mrs. Resnick can't handle that!" Penelope freaked

"I'm sorry, but it's 90 degrees and you won't let us roll the windows down." Elena apologized with a small sigh
