"Mike you were driving, where'd you put the car keys?" asked Adi.
He set aside his slurpie as Tre sipped up some more amused by the straw. Mike dug through his pockets then mouthed the eff word.
"Uhh..." answered Mike.
"He left them in the car I bet!" said Tre in a little kid voice and slurping some more.
"MIKE! THAT WAS MY CAR! Great... Now how are we gonna get to Billie?" asked Adrienne.
"Yeah Mike.. Now how are we going to get to Billie?" said Tre looking towards Mike.
"Damnit.. Hmm.. It's not that far from here right?" said Mike.
"Are you serious? There's not another gas station for another few miles! I don't wanna walk all the way," said Adi.
"You got a better idea?" asked Mike.
"Fine let's go," said Adi.
They exited the gas station and began walking down the empty street on the boulevard of brok- never mind. But off they went walking down the road on a chase for Billie Joe.

After we got a bite to eat we decided to stop at a nearby park. Whatsername got out of the car and approached the monkey bars and slowly made her way to the top sitting on the bars. I followed her and stood under the monkey bars looking up at her hair blowing in the soft breeze.
"Isn't that kind of dangerous?" I asked putting my hand over my forehead kind of like a salute so the last bit of sun wouldn't get into my eyes.
"No not really. Wanna come up?" she answered.
I carefully climbed up the bars and sat on the top next to Whatsername. She gazed forward at the sky. I turned my head in the direction she was looking revealing a beautiful pinkish red and orange sky with a view of the sun going down joining the horizon. I closed my eyes for a moment as I felt the breeze slip through my hair. I opened my eyes and kept looking at the sunset.
"It's so beautiful isn't it?" I whispered.
"Yeah, it is."
I turned my head and looked at Whatsername as she was still looking at the sunset. Her eyes were green. Pretty damn green too, but before they were grey. Odd. Very odd.
"Your wondering about my eyes aren't you?" she said turning to me.
"How did you-"I began but she cut me off.
"Let's just say it was a lucky guess," she replied.
I raised an eyebrow and said "Why did your eyes change colors? They were grey before."
"My eye color changes to my emotions. Usually when I'm sad or something my eyes turn grey. But when I feel really good inside, they go back to green."
"So you must be pretty happy right now then."
"I guess I am. I've never felt so happy before."
"In a way, me either," I said with a smile.
"So I was just wondering... What's your real name?" I continued looking into the sunset and turning to... Air.
Hey what the hell? Where'd she go?
I turned my head from left to right. Nothing.
"Down here!" exclaimed Whatsername hanging upside down on the bars.
Gulp. I hooked my feet onto the bars and leaned back hanging upside down.
"I think I'm gonna be sick," I said as my face immediately started turning red.
"Come on it's not so bad now is it?"
"Can't move. Blood rushed to head. HELP!"
It felt like my brains had just fallen out of my ass. I felt my feet unhook as I felt wind passing my ears and a pain in my back.
I opened my eyes and saw nothing but pitch black.
"AHH! I'M BLIND!" I exclaimed sitting up from the gravel I had fallen onto from a few feet up.
"Relax!" said Whatsername moving hair out of my eyes so I could see again.
"Oh my bad," I said still sitting on the gravel with my legs out and with Whatsername cross-legged next to me.
"Are you okay? That was a pretty nasty fall."
"Yeah I think I'll survive."
She smiled back at me and stood up grabbing my hand.
"Come on get up," she said.
A noise from the bushes nearby made noises as if somebody was there.. Watching us.
"What the fuck? Who's there?" I said as we both turned towards the bush. The fear in Whatsername's eyes made them turn grey thinking that it was her uncle watching her every move to kill her.
I got up and grabbed a stick and began to tip toe my way over with Whatsername behind me. I stuck the stick out just in case.
"Okay, who's there?"
More moving in the bushes.
"COME OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Even more moving in the bushes.
"IF YOU GUYS ARE NAKED GET A ROOM!"
The bushes stopped moving. I walked up to the bushes poking the stick in.
"HOLY FUCK YOU'RE A BIG MOTHER FUCKER!"
He set aside his slurpie as Tre sipped up some more amused by the straw. Mike dug through his pockets then mouthed the eff word.
