(First Story of the year!)
Shawns POV
"Ah yes it's all coming together." You said quietly.
You had the band practically in the middle of a forest with a bunch of goats. Your own personal goats. You got them from a little farm somewhere in Iowa and you loved them just as much as you loved your children. You stood back and waited until the band was in place. You guys were about to shoot the rain scene where everybody was gonna get drenched in water whether they liked it or not.
"Are you ready?" The director asked.
You nodded your head and walked over to your percussion set. The camera was in place and the director gave the signal. Left Behind began to play and you did your thing.
"Wait!" Somebody shouted.
Everybody stopped and looked at Jim. One of your goats was chewing away on his coveralls and he couldn't quite pull free.
"Damn goat." Jim mumbled.
"So you're telling me you're not strong enough to pull your leg free?" Mick asked.
Jim shot him and look and continued trying to pull his leg free. Eventually he put his guitar down to try and get a better shot. You sighed a little and went over to help Jim. It was putting the band behind schedule. You walked over and tried to pull goat away gently. It seemed to work but the goat just wouldn't let go. Soon it was like you guys were playing a game of tug o war.
"Where the fuck did you get these goats?" Jim asked.
"I just got them from some dude on a farm." You answered.
You then put the goat down and tried to help pull Jim's pant leg free. It was impossible. Even though it was a combined strength between you and Jim the goat just wouldn't let up.
"Well shit." You said tiredly giving up.
"What are we gonna do about this?" Jim asked annoyed.
"Nothing." You answered shortly.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Jim asked angrily.
"Listen man we don't have time for this we're behind schedule." You explained.
Jim rolled his eyes but picked his guitar up. The band was able to make it through the rest of the shoot. The music video was great except Jim wasn't too happy at the fact the goats got more screen time than him.
"This is unfair." Jim complained." The goats were in the video longer than I was."
"Well what can you do? A goats gotta chew on something." You said while shrugging your shoulders.
