Spoilers:
Well, I don't know. This goes along with my story, Your True Family,
just because of the cars. So, I don't really think it's a spoiler,
heck, I don't know. <g>
Universe:
ATF - Thanks, Mog! :)
Author's
Notes: This bit of nothing is just for fun. Don't take it
seriously. I was just thinking today about when Mog first started the
ATF/AU and we all started writing in it, and how much fun it was (and
still is <g>). Thanks, Mog, for starting the ATF/AU and
encouraging me to write in it. Thanks to Penny for the beta. Hope you
like the story.

The
Top
ATF/AU

Ruby
"Whatever
are you lookin' for, Mr. Tanner?" Ezra asked, while looking at
steering wheel covers.
"I'm
lookin' for a top for my Jeep."
"You
mean to tell me that Miss Ruby didn't give you one?"
Vin
snorted. "Uh uh. Somthin' about thinkin' we was gonna live in
the hot, dry Southwest. I don't know." He shook his head.
"Anyway, Mog had to 'mention' one for me, and *it* still lets
the rain in, so I'm gonna get a good ole hardtop!"
"Oh."
Ezra looked around at the various auto parts. "Hmmm. Well, Miss
Ruby might have slighted you, but she sure did give me an exceptional vehicle."
"Nuh
uh! You don't even want to know what Ruby wanted to give you. *Mog*
gave you the Jaguar."
"Oh."
Ezra frowned. "Well, still, it's a beautiful piece of
machinery, none the less." He looked puzzled. "What *did*
Ruby want to give me?"
Vin
chuckled. "I'm not tellin'."
"Oh,
for shame, Mr. Tanner, you can tell me."
"Nope."
Vin turned back, looking at the various air fresheners. Picking one
up, he showed it to Ezra. "Hey, we could get this for Buck."
Ezra
rolled his eyes, smirking.
Vin
walked a little further, standing in front of the running boards for
pick up trucks. With his brow furrowed, he sighed, looking over at
Ezra. "You know, there's somthin' that's been botherin' me. She
gave Chris this big, all black, sleek, club cab Dodge Ram...and she
gave me a beat up Jeep that doesn't have a top, paint's fadin' and
it's seen better days - pretty much a piece of shit. What gives?"
"Well,
maybe she likes our Mr. Larabee better than she does you."
Vin
shook his head. "Nuh uh. I know for a fact, she likes me
better. You, then me, then JD, *then* Chris."
Ezra
stuck his nose up in the air, looking conceited.
"Oh,
stop gloating. It's just the 'loner, black sheep' she likes in you.
Besides, you don't know what she *was* gonna make you drive around
in." Vin laughed.
Ezra
harrumphed, shaking his head. "It couldn't have been *that* bad."
Vin
just laughed harder. "I don't know, pard." He chuckled.
Ezra
mock laughed, turning away from his friend.
"Still
doesn't explain the choices for me and Chris. I mean, you think
she'd have given me a better ride than him." Vin replied.
"Well,
maybe she was picking vehicles that fit our personalities. I mean
she gave JD a fast motorcycle, and the kid's just full of energy. She
gave Josiah a nice, reliable Suburban - that fits him. And she gave
Chris a long, lean, 'dressed in black,' powerful...need I go on? It
is the perfect vehicle for Mr. Larabee's personality."
"Oh,
so you're sayin' that I've seen better day's, my paint's fadin', and
I'm a piece of shit?"
Vin
asked so seriously, that Ezra couldn't hide the chortle that
erupted. "Now, Vin, I highly doubt that Miss Ruby thinks you're
a 'piece of shit.' " He laughed. "I'm sure she just wanted
to capture that wild, untamed, animal side of yours."
"Are
you sayin' I'm an animal?"
"Errrrgggg!"
Ezra grunted. "Nevermind. Just find your top and let's remove
ourselves from these premises. If I have to ride in that monstrosity
you call a 'piece of shit,' I'd like to get home before we get into
any car accidents."
Vin
rolled his eyes. "Now, when has *that* happened? Um...oh,
nevermind. Let's just go, I'll get my top later."
The
two federal agents climbed into the aforementioned piece of shit and
drove off.
"Uh,
Mr. Tanner, did you just feel a rain drop."
"No,
I...oh...yeah...guess it's rainin'."
"Wonderful."
Ezra scowled. "All we need now is to get into an acci-"
Scrreeeeech...crash!
