wow, that was fast! Now, is this going to make sense for people who don't read your story? Or is it one of those things that make more sense if you know the characters?

No, it should make sense no matter whether you've read the story or not.  I put in descriptors such as Liv, my wife or Molly, AJ's girlfriend.  I only have to go back and do that for one more character.  Otherwise it's just the guys as we know and love them :)

Just read it and even though I'm not completely up to date on the Coaster Series yet, it made sense and could be read as a stand alone story.

I've got an idea, just got to write it :)

All the boys should be in the story

All boys meaning the current "all", or including Kevin?  Or just use my imagination?

Does the bus breaking down have to be the absolute focus/central point or can it be just a major event within the story? j/c.

It should be the main plot of the story. The reason the story is taking place. If that makese sense? lol

Fair enough! I just wanted to make sure. I had an idea where the bus breaking down was going to be the ironic ending, but it wouldn't have been the main plot. I'll wait and save the story I was thinking of for another story some other time and think up a new bus breaking down one now that it's clarified!

Thanks!! :)
