Just as a quick disclaimer, this story is written by both an author who would like to be known as Xtortion, and me. The general pattern starting off was that we'd each write a paragraph, one after another taking turns. After editing though that pattern probably has been loss. The story and plot is something of both of our creations. The feel of the story in my opinion is very different than my usually type of writing, understandably. Hope that our styles and ideas mixed well though, and that you all enjoy.

Part 1
"Are we there yet Tina?" Becky called out from the back seat. She sat, anxious to know what was going on. The blindfold over her eyes prevented her to see where they were headed. The roar of the engine could be heard, and she could only vaguely tell when the car would turn in some direction or stop. "I still don't see why the blindfold is necessary either."
Tina knew well where she was headed but wouldn't spoil a secret with plans of a good time. Becky was getting a bit nervous since the ride was taking quite a while. In the back of her mind she had questioned everything she had agreed to today, and was starting to think she may be in over her head.
"Are you sure you know where you're going?" Becky nagged, growing more impatient.
She sat in anticipation of whatever event her two friends had planned for her. What kept her most on edge is her constantly wondering mind. Her parents were away for a few days and had expected Becky to stay at home for the while. She was presumably now a good distance from home. She had never broken any rules before, so this day was both scary and satisfying in some way. She couldn't wait to get there yet-at the same time she wanted to go home already.
"Don't worry; everything is going to be just fine. Shouldn't be much longer." Tina explained. "You're lucky enough that Brianna and I were able to even get you this chance. We had to practically beg. You're lucky that having to be blindfolded is all you have to do."
A few days earlier, during soccer practice at school, Becky expressed her want to be able to get into college with a good recommendation. Two of the other teammates, Tina and Brianna, said they had an idea. They would need a few days to settle things out. It was decided, really earlier in the morning, around 5 AM, Becky would be taken to the secret meeting spot to see if she could get this recommendation from these friends of Tina and Brianna. A condition though was that Becky had to be blind folded, so she wouldn't' know the location of the meeting place.
After more waiting, it finally seemed that the SUV the girls were driving had come to a slowing. They turned a slow, wide right and seemed to be riding on a very coarse, bumpy road. Obviously it was makeshift coated in rocks, definitely not paved. They had driven on this road for a few minutes until Becky piped up. "Jeez you guys, where are we going? This is really starting to bug me!"
"Where are we going? Well we are going to here of course." Brianna said as she stopped the SUV. Becky let out a sigh of relief, reaching for the blindfold. "Keep the blindfold on for a little longer." Brianna warned her. Becky stopped and waiting some more, letting out a small "humph" as she made a pouting face, obviously annoyed with the whole blindfold thing. It left her curious and vulnerable; she wasn't use to the feeling.
Becky had been the poster child for a "daddy's girl" for all her life. She had a wealthy family but they strongly pressed that she makes her own way in life. Yet at the same time, they saw to her every need, as long as she did all the housework and kept straight A's in school. She was feeling too open to the other girls' whims and confused by what exactly they were doing; only hearing cluttered sounds. What got her really curious was the fact that they were whispering excitedly like they had just thought of something new...
