Ellis was driving the race car. He never felt so alive. His dream was to drive Jimmy Gibbs Jr.'s vehicle, and there he was. He had big plans for the future: go to New Orleans, make friends, and try to live like he used to. In the back, Applejack was asleep. All the running, the fighting, and the drama of the whole situation made her more tired than she ever was before. Ellis looked back and saw her snoozing. The sight made him laugh a little. As mentioned before, Ellis loved horses. However, something about this one made him happier than any other horse or pony ever did. Maybe it was her hard-working attitude. Perhaps it was her southern accent. Hell, maybe it could have been the little freckles on both sides of her face. Whatever it was, he was certainly feeling a positive bond starting to form, but he tried to ignore it and focus on driving.

Author's Note

This chapter was mainly to fill in what happened when they escaped. Just a little food for thought.

PS: Leave a comment if you think that AJ's freckles are adorable.
