Disclaimer: The following story is not real. If you have read the first six parts then you have a general idea of what to expect. This part is a very short chapter, has a quick build and quick action and does not feature the main character Dan, instead taking a look at what Taylor is doing the weekend after Part 6. This is purely a transition chapter. Part 8 will be much longer and feature Dan, Taylor and a new girl to the story.

It was 2:00 Sunday morning. Taylor Swift was driving herself home following her big win at the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. The location of the awards show was about an hour away from her Los Angeles home. She had left shortly after 1:30, having stayed longer than expected to meet and greet the hundreds of children who spent their night at the show.
After about ten minutes on the road, Taylor reached into her glove box and pulled out a large joint that she had rolled at home and lit it. Quickly her small Toyota Camry was filled in a thick, pungent cloud of smoke. This was not uncommon for her though. Taylor loved to smoke on the road and hotbox for a long drive. It didn't take long before the drug set in and she was feeling very relaxed.
The route home included many back roads, leaving her alone on the road for the majority of the ride. With no one else on the road and an increased tiredness and hunger, Taylor stepped on the gas and started cruising at over 75 miles per hour. In her mind, since nobody else was in danger, there was no reason to second guess her choice. The only problem for her...tonight she wasn't alone on the road.
In the middle of the long road, she began to see flashing red and blue lights from behind. Her heart stopped as she realized what was happening. Bad enough that she was about to be pulled over but with a dense cloud of marijuana smoke in the car, she knew that she was in serious trouble. She instantly opened all four windows of the car and pulled to a stop on the side of the road. Her heart was beating out of her chest as the officer exited his car. She looked in the rear-view mirror and could see him sniffing the air.
"I'm dead." She thought to herself; tears began streaming down her face. The cop reached her window and shined the flashlight in her eyes.
"Someone's been having some fun, eh?" He said as the potent smell filled the air. Taylor remained silent. "Look Miss, don't think for a second that I don't smell what you were doing." She started crying harder. "Wait a minute, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"
"Yes, probably." She said between tears.
"Hot damn, you're Taylor Swift aren't you?" She slowly nodded. "Well well, look at that. Taylor Swift gets pulled over for speeding and, judging by my nose, she's higher than a kite." She stared at him with the saddest face you could imagine. "Oh don't cry, you know what you did. Don't you think I'm letting you go because you're famous. Step out of the car Ms. Swift."
Slowly Taylor exited the car, her tears flowing like a waterfall.
"Please officer..." She looked at his badge. "...Michaels, you can't do this. It would kill my image. I can't have people knowing about this." She grabbed onto his arm.
"It would do you some good to get your hands off of me. If you were so worried about your image you wouldn't have been smoking pot and driving over 75 miles per hour. Do the crime, do the time sweetheart."
He placed her in handcuffs and placed her in the back of his squad car before searching her car. He exited with a small bag of marijuana in one hand and a pipe in the other. He tossed them both on the hood of his car. He pulled Taylor out of the back and showed her what he found.
"What do you have to say Ms. Swift?"
"Please sir, you have to let me go. I swear I'll stop doing it, please! I'll do anything!" She was crying hysterically.
"What exactly could you do to make me forget this?"
Taylor looked around, trying to get her hazed brain to form an idea. Then it hit her, not just an idea but that special "feeling" that marijuana gives her. A small smile came to her face as she turned around and backed up towards the officer. Her handcuffed hand grabbed onto his crotch, giving it a soft tug.
