ATTENTION: We are starting!

Hannah drummed her fingernails on the door of the car they were in. They meaning four wonderful witches, the Headmaster and three barely human - dare she say it - boys. Hannah had had nightmares about being stuck in a Muggle car with the Tiger Eyes, but had never thought it would actually happen. Until now. Of course, there was a wonderful horrendous addition to this nightmare: they had no wands. And they were on their way to a Muggle airport, to hop begrudgingly trudge onto a plane, that would then take them to America. There they would have to act like related exchange students in a Muggle school. Oh joy.
Han looked across at the Headmaster, who was driving, and thought that at least she had won the passenger seat, while the others were in the back. It had been a tough sprint against Anton, but she had got there first.
Hannah was giving the Headmaster a strict silent treatment, but that didn't stop her from being very curious about all the Muggle contraptions in this car.

Cautiously, Han pressed a grey button, and music exploded from metal grates on the sides of the car doors. Frantically pressing a smaller button with the minus signal on it, Hannah was able to reduce the sound to a bearable tone. Hannah listened to the song that sounded slightly like a musical robot being musical while a person with a speech impediment sang, she noticed a name on the radio. Lady GaGa ---- Poker Face. Hannah frowned, wondering why a regal Lady who stuttered would sing as a living. It was also a very odd last name... GaGa. "Apparently this song is popular - it's one of her "Greatest Hits" according to this." Han said, passing the CD case back to her friends and the three slimy boys. The words Greatest Hits raised more questions: What in the name of Merlin was a hit? How did the Lady have so many greatest ones if there is actually only one 'greatest'? Why was Lady G singing when she had a speech impediment? Hannah wanted to ask these questions, but the only one of them who knew anything about Muggles was the Headmaster, and she had sworn silence when he was involved. So if she asked, she would undirectly addressing him. Which would still be addressing him.

Anton couldn't believe that he had let Hannah, the leader of the Bubblegum Pops win. However, as he had been running toward the car, his quick mind had been working. He had pulled back at the last minute because he hadn't wanted to leave his mates- the Tiger Eyes- behind. So, with disgust, he had handed that privilege over to her.

Now, he sulked in the back of the car, sitting at the window seat and watching as the scenery passed them by. He silently bid each car and tree farewell, wondering when their exile would be over and he would be able to see them again. Suddenly, music blasted from the speakers. "OI!" he yelled, wincing in pain as the music was turned down. "Quit fooling around up there! You're not going to improve the situation," he scolded, glaring at the back of her seat for a moment before looking away.

"Girls..." he muttered to his friends before looking out the window once more. He would find a way to get out of this, he was sure of it.

Hannah smirked when she realized how much the burst of music had irritated Anton. "I, unlike you, have the passenger seat, so I will fool around all I want." She retorted. Bored, Han looked at her feet, and found a grey duffel bag with the name Sophia on it near her feet. Frowning, Hannah picked it up. There was nobody named Sophia in this car! Oh, right. They were given fake Muggle names for this punishment. And Hannah's was Sophia. Picking up her duffel, Hannah Sophia found a Muggle contraption inside it. It had the word iPod on the back. When Han pressed a small grey button, the device's screen lit up. In a few minutes, Hannah had learned that if you plugged two cords into the device, and put two miniature things in your ears, you got the same sound that came from the radio. Listening to some slow music by an artist called Kelly Clarkson, Han was glad that someartists had actual names and didn't stutter.

OOC: Here are your charrie's fake Muggle names (they each have a grey duffel with that name on it): Kayla - Marie. Mallory - Claire. Erin - Annie. Anton - Liam. Jacob - William. David - George.

Kayla said quietly in the car. There was nothing to do and she hated the fact that she was going to a Muggle school. There would be NO MAGIC! Kayla was a Pureblood for goodness sakes! She was not used to having no magic! She was used to having things handed to her on a silver plater, but noo! Not even her father had been able to wiggle the trouble makers out of this. Needless to say Kayla was not in a very pleasant mood. She ran a hair through her soft blonde hair and glanced at the boys. She let out a sigh and buried her head in her knees, her blonde locks covering her face.

She jumped at the sudden loud music that Hannah had started to play. "Geez! What was the noisey crap?" She heard Anton give his two cents and Kayla whipped around to glare at him. "Your not making this situation any better Anton! If you haven't realized we are all stuck going to some school were we can't use magic and worst of all we have to act like we are related! I may have good acting skills but I can not pretend to be related with you people!" Kayla turned to face forward and starred out the window as one tear turned to two and so on, as they fell silently down her face. She was scared of leaving home, and not being able to see her parents. Would she be able to write them? Did American's use owls such as they did? Or was she stuck several miles from home with no communication at all? Kay did not want that! She wanted to be at home or Hogwarts surronded by people she loved!

She kicked the back at her feet, barely glancing at the name sprawled acossed it. A new place, a new name. Why not add to the lie? She thought bitterly. Her new name was Marie. She did not wish to be called that! She rolled her eyes and brought her knees up to her chin and sat there looking at the cars driving past.

Anton glared at the back of Hannah's seat. If he'd had his wand... but unfortunately, that had been taken away, along with everything else that they knew. Including their names. He glanced down at his new name: Liam. It wasn't the worst name in the world, it would just take come getting used to. "Just try not to deafen us all as you fool around up there. I, unlike YOU, would like to learn something while we're in this situation. And that typically requires HEARING," he said, stressing words just to grate on her nerves more.

Anton knew Kayla was going to be one of the ones who was going to make the biggest fuss about their situation. He had heard about her father attempting to make arrangements, and knew how spoiled she was. He let out a sigh- this was not going to be easy. He had to smirk when she also yelled at Hannah- but then her temper was redirected to him. "Oh, and your loud mouth is improving the situation?" he shot back. "Oh? Is that where we're going? I could have sworn we were off on a vacation that the school happened to arrange for us! Thanks ever so much for clearing THAT up," he retorted, holding Kayla's gaze until she looked away. Women.

What was he going to do in this new situation? Sure, he was as new to this as everyone else in the car. But he at least planned to take advantage of the situation. It would be a crash course in muggle life and America- something they might be able to take advantage of.

"AAAAHH!!" Jake shouted out, annoyed at all of them. The fact that they lost the pranking competition. The fact they got caught. The fact that they were sent to a muggle school. The fact they had no wands. The fact they had to act related. And the fact that his new name was William! "Can you all just shut that up?" he yelled, even though the music was now off. "Why America of all places?" he asked aloud, not bothering to catch an answer he pulled out his own iPod thing and put in his earphones.

Han was about to retort viciously to Kay's remark on the accidental music, but calmed herself. If she didn't have her friends, who did she have on this crazy journey? The calming process was also helped by Kayla firing a comment at Anton. Since Hannah was in the front seat, she couldn't see Kayla's actions, nor her tears. But Han's best friend senses told her that Kay was overreacting in the back seat. "It will be okay." Hannah whispered reassuringly.

Firey comebacks weren't what she needed in an enclosed space. No, she needed irritating calmness. So he wanted his precious hearing. Wonderful. "I, unlike you, Mr. Liam, have found a delightful Muggle contraption and learned about it. With my hearing perfectly intact. I do apologize, though, for you sensitivity to big noises." She said slowly, as if talking to a hyperactive three-year-old. Then Hannah overheard Anton dissing her BFF. Oh no, he did NOT just go there! And while she was crying, too. "Oh, Liam. Liam, Liam, Liam." Han scolded, stressing his new name. "Please stop bickering with Kayla, I would expect better of a gentleman like yourself. When we get back to Hogwarts you're going to have a time-out, mister!" Han said, exaggerating the typical Muggle mother act. This car ride could turn out to be more fun that she thought.

"Why don`t you shut up!!"Mallory yelled back.She had no idea how in the world the headmaster expected this all to work.One,no one could get along.Two,no one looked the same.Three,who would even want to be related to these people?Well,her friends are okay,but friends are meant to be firneds with,not to be actually related.Well,at least her muggle name was one of the better ones.Claire was a good name in Mallory`s mind.She stared straight foward with an angry look on her face.This was gonna be a long drive.

David put his head is hands, this was all messed up, how could they take there wands of them! having fun isnt against the law is it? David banged his head "WHHYY??"
