Not far enough...

The car had just left the campgrounds as Zoey turned onto the main road, the car driving down towards their destination.

"I swear, Taylor, this idea had better work!" Jane snapped from the passengers seat. "If not remove the skunk stink, then it better remove this crap that little Ms. Genius here was duped into buying!"

"Look, I'm sorry! What do you want me to say, Jane?!" Zoey asked desperately as she kept her eyes on the road.

Suddenly, Xena took a whiff and groaned. "Ugh! Good Lord! What the hell is that smell?!"

"Okay, Xena? We were sprayed by a skunk and are now covered in some horrible smelling stuff that only added to the skunk musk that some backwoods merchant duped Zoey into buying. What the hell isn't that smell?" Emma asked.

"Um, I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think something just brushed against my leg..." Taylor said, trailing off as she, Emma, and Xena looked down. Jane looked over her shoulder to see what was getting the attention as Zoey adjusted her mirror to see behind her...

Paula had just reached the entrance to the campgrounds in her own car when she heard an all too familiar sound of five women screaming, the car they were in swerving off the road and into a tree. Paula was frightened at first, not wanting her **** prank to go that far, but thankfully, the five women jumped out of the car completely unharmed...

And smelling even worse for wear as they ripped off their robes and rolled around in the dirt.

Paula giggled as she saw the ten skunks scurry out of the vehicle and back into the forest, glad that they survived as well.

"Ahhhhhh!" Emma screeched as she rubbed her face in the dirt, her eyes watering. "Make it stop! MAKE IT STOOOOPPPP!"

Taylor and Zoey stood up and released the contents of their stomachs into a nearby bush, unable to take the smell anymore.

"Why us?! WHY US?!" Xena cried, openly bawling. "WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS?!"

"IT'S A SIGN!" Taylor shouted hysterically, having finally emptied her stomach and wiping the bile of her chin with the back of her hand. "We've been too mean to people for years now, and karma's now coming back to bite us in the ass! We should start being nicer now! Maybe there's still enough time to -"

"Oh, shut up!" Jane snapped, slapping Taylor in the back of the head. "There's no 'karma' at work here! This is all just one big coincidence!"

"Jane, you know that I believe in that mumbo jumbo just as much as you do." Emma began calmly, getting to her feet. "However, given the circumstances..." She then became more frantic, "COME THE HELL ON! What are the chances that we'd get sprayed by skunks in two places a skunk shouldn't be?! What are the chances that Zoey would get robbed blind by a snake oil saleswoman that made us smell even worse?"

"Pretty good, considering we're talking about a woman who thought 'Save The Whales' meant someone was holding them hostage..." Jane muttered just loud enough for Zoey to hear.

"Hey! I was a kid at the time!" Zoey argued, glaring at Jane.

"You were twenty-four!"

"Why are we friends with her again?" Taylor asked Xena under her breath.

"My point is!" Emma interrupted, "My point is, there is too much going on here to be a coincidence. I'm not saying that this is the work of the universe punishing us, or whatever the hell karma is. What I'm saying, is that we must have ticked off somebody big time, and now they're fighting back."

"That's just..." Jane began, only to groan in annoyance. "Fine! Whatever! We'll deal with whoever is responsible for all this later. Right now, we still need to get clean. Zoey? Does your car still work? Cause if not, we're going to have to walk the... Taylor? How many miles away did you say this doggy spa and the carwash were again?"

"If I remember correctly..." Taylor said, pointing down the direction they were heading. "They should about eight miles in that direction."

"EIGHT MILES?!" Jane shrieked before turning to Zoey again. "Please tell me your car still works! Please!"
