Phriends Against Physics

Chapter 4

Four hours later, Jimmy and Milo were still locked in. Kahoot music was still blaring over the speakers, and the men were so sweaty at this point that the living room was turning into a lake. It smelled really bad. The girls were all huddled in the kitchen together, avoiding the men and their man sweat. "Right hand yellow!" Foamy yelled from underneath her shirt that she was using as a mask to keep the sweat stink away. Finally, Milo tumbled to the ground as Jimmy jumped up and triumphantly danced around his opponent. "No fair, you had home court advantage!" Milo countered as he stood up and limped to the nearest bathroom, grabbing his aching hamstring. Jimmy shrugged him off and smelled his armpits. "Whatever. Wow, I stink! I gotta go shower quickly and then we'll go to dinner!" Jimmy ran up the stairs to his and Foamy's bathroom. "Yeah, and I gotta take an ice bath real quick, I think I pulled a hammy!" Milo shouted from the downstairs bathroom. The three girls groaned in agony as they thought about how hungry they were. "I am so hungry! Coach made us run 32 miles today at practice!" Foamy whined. "Well I'm even hungrier!" Jackie said. Not to be outdone, Naomi said, "No, I'm hungrier!" After about half an hour, the men simultaneously stepped out from their respective bathrooms and announced that they were ready to get some grub. The girls sprinted out to Jimmy's truck and piled in. Jimmy and Milo followed, and they were on their way to Some Restaurant in New York. "Man, I haven't been to SRNY in forever! I've missed it," said Jackie excitedly. "What's SRNY?" Naomi asked. "Only the best place that serves everything zucchini," Foamy replied, looking back at her friends from the front seat. "Do they have zucchini crap?" Naomi questioned. "Only the best in the entire world!" Jimmy interjected. "Oh man! I'm so excited! The zucchini crap back at St. Tomboy was not very good." Foamy answered, "It is lowkey hard to find good zucchini crap these days. But SRNY won't let you down. Also, you'll be glad to know that SU has pretty decent zucchini crap!" Naomi cheered and clapped her hands. She was so excited to finally experience some quality zucchini crap for once. Jimmy parked the truck at the very front of the parking lot, in the special reserved spot that was given to him and his wife and friends for being SRNY's most loyal customers. Jimmy, Milo, Foamy, Naomi and Jackie walked through the front door to a very enthusiastic greeting from the restaurant staff. "YOU'RE BACK!" They shouted to Jackie, who hadn't been to SRNY in a hot minute due to her enrollment at HSU. The employees got into formation and danced around Jackie while singing the "You're Back Song." They sing this to every regular customer who leaves for a while and then comes back. The emotional experience made Jackie tear up and she was very honored by the gesture. The staff then led the group to their booth and announced that everyone would be getting free zucchini crap tonight! Everyone cheered! The zucchini crap arrived five minutes later, and the hungry friends absolutely devoured it. The staff, seeing this, offered them free refills, which they happily accepted. They ate and ate until their tummies got huge, but when the staff came back to their table, Foamy asked to see a dessert menu. "Ugh, I don't know if I can eat any more!" Milo groaned. "You are such an amateur, there is always room for zucchini cake!" Jimmy teased him. "Well, you know I'm always down for some zucchini cake!" Jackie chimed in. "Me too! I've never had zucchini cake, but if it is half as good as that zucchini crap was, I'm down for it!" Naomi exclaimed. "Wait, guys! There is a new special tonight- it's zucchini ice cream with zucchini fudge topped with zucchini chunks and a raw egg yolk surprise!" Everyone thought that sounded amazing, but they also wanted to stick with the tried and true, so Foamy ordered a round of zucchini sundaes and one big zucchini cake for the table. The desserts were gone as soon as they touched the table. The staff even put a "You're Back" candle in the cake for Jackie and once again sang the "You're Back Song" as she blew it out and made a wish. "I wish for another zucchini cake!" Jackie wished, and it came true, because the waiters came over minutes later with a second zucchini cake, all packaged and ready for the friends to take home and eat for many days to come, because it was huge. "What a fantastic night!" Foamy proclaimed as she danced and twirled. She was on a major zucchini high. "'Twas fantabulous!" Naomi agreed as she joined Foamy in her twirling. Soon, everyone in the entire restaurant was twirling! The staff was twirling! The old couple in the back was twirling! The chefs were twirling! The fat boy stood on the table and twirled until the table snapped in half! Startled, Jimmy and his wife led their friends back out to the truck and sped home. Foamy put the cake in the fridge and joined her friends in the living room, where they were still twirling. This continued until about 2 am, when everyone realized how tired they were. "We should stop twirling. I'm getting tired, and it's after 2 am. Nothing good ever happens after 2 am," said Foamy. Agreeing, Naomi, Jackie and Milo all went upstairs to their rooms. Jimmy swept Foamy up off her feet and carried his wife bridal style into their bedroom.
