~Darren was oblivious to the bonding going on between his wife and daughter, and to the more intense bonding between Emma and Elliot; his mind was on the scooters in front of him. He walks down a row of the gleaming and well-maintained used motor scooters with a sale's rep in his ear talking up the benefits of driving the scooter in this resort town as opposed to taking the family vehicle all over.<br/>So far Darren was impressed, though he was too shrewd of a business man to accept the window price, considering he would be renting five of the scooters for practically the entire summer. It takes about a half an hour of haggling but he does get what he considers a fair price and is soon pulling out his platinum card to finalize the deal.<br/>He picks out a primarily white scooter for himself and is soon motoring out of the shop's back alley on his new ride. He'll let the kids choose their own scooters.<br/>He drives down the town's main shopping areas, searching for the family van so he can catch up with diane and Melissa.~
