The Three Travel Buddies And Friends - Weekly!

Why The Hell Would You...?

Matilda, Dave, Alfred and Jay were on their way back from school. It was a cold winter month in late November, the leaves had fallen off the trees, everyone was in jumpers, coats, scarfs and hats and the wind was blowing from the recent storm, Storm Arwen. Luckily, it wasn't raining, so everyone was pretty much warm and dry. Despite Dave's stupidity and lack of direction, he led the group, Matilda had finally trusted him to lead after a whole year of practice back in Year 7. It was only a straight route, but somehow Dave didn't get the concept of straight back in those days and got them all lost. Sure, you could argue that there was another route to the station, with plenty of turns and twists, and that was where Dave got them all lost the last time, but we don't talk about that. Maybe just blame it all on Matilda, who decided to trust Dave's awful geography skills. Yeah, that's a good idea. So, walking along the route to the station, actually, Dave was skipping, they continued, until Dave came to a sudden stop, in front of a store. 

Dave at the time was broke. He hadn't been broke back in Year 7, but after being in tons of debt due to borrowing, (This is why you don't borrow kids!!!)(Maybe I should tell Dave that...) now he was. In fact, he was still in a twenty pound debt with Zyla, a five pound debt with Jay, a ten pound debt with Samson, and a one pound debt with Athena. Basically, he owed others thirty-six pounds in total. But despite this, Dave asked, 

'Can we buy something at the store?' 

'You still owe me, I'm at negative funds' Jay replied, with his arms crossed.

'No can do, so am I' Alfred said.

'Matilda please.....' Dave begged. 

'But I'm saving up for a new book and....' Matilda began.

'Please....Pretty please...?' Dave asked.

He gave her what Alfred called 'The Eyes'. Jay also knew how to do 'The Eyes' and they took advantage of this opportunity. Basically, the person continuously stares at you, sort of like when dogs stare at you when they want a treat. They look cute doing it (You thought....) (not Jay and Dave stupid!!!) so they get almost all the treats they want, and so, Dave and Jay took notice of this strategy, as they have pet dogs at home, and even they cannot resist 'The Eyes' from them.

'Alright...' Matilda sighed, giving in almost immediately.

'Yay!' Dave shouted, entering the store.

Now, this store wasn't like one of those huge department stores that you find in Wood Green or something, this was just like one of those little corner shops, with just enough to provide for all your daily needs. There were small areas like the bakery, the butcher, snacks and even a 'Daily Needs' area, which peculiarly had way more than just daily needs. Things like needles and threads and even batteries came in this area, which Jay described as 'very strange'. I mean, who needs batteries on a daily basis? Anyways, back to where we were. Dave had a look around the store, and came to the freezer compartment (basically one small freezer). 

'Can we get ice creams?' Dave asked.

'What the hell? It's literally 1 degree outside!' Matilda exclaimed.

'You know what...that wouldn't sound too bad....Maybe I'll have an orange slush!' Jay said.

'I thought you hated slushes' Alfred said.

'I...' Jay began.

'Abomination!' Matilda shouted, cutting him off while folding her arms in anger.

'What I was going to say was...I only like orange slushes' Jay said.

'Nobody likes oranges, mate' Matilda protested.

'Well I do, so shut up!' Jay shouted, clearly very offended by this, after all, he only used this sort of aggressive language when he was really shaken by something.

'What was that?' Matilda snarled.

Jay stepped back. He certainly didn't want a kick in the shin by Matilda. After what happened to Alfred the other day...Maybe it's best not to talk about it....

'Can we please get an ice cream?' Dave asked.

'Alright, alright' Matilda replied.

'I'm getting an orange slush' Jay said.

'Who said I'm paying for you?' Matilda asked.

Jay didn't reply, he finally knew that this was what people called 'A Rhetorical Question'.

'Don't worry, of course I'll pay. But you'd better not use language like that again James Taylor!' Matilda shouted.

'Please don't call me James...!' Jay said, slightly annoyed.

Matilda rolled her eyes.

'Matilda, why don't you get yourself something?' Dave asked.

'I don't want anything' Matilda replied.

'Then can I get something?' Alfred asked.

'But why not?' Dave asked.

'Because I don't' Matilda replied.

'But isn't the quote 'Be like Jay and you'll go further in life'?' Dave asked.

'Good point...' Matilda replied. 'I'll get a orange slush then'.

'Yeah you'd better! That'll show you how good orange really is!' Jay shouted.

Matilda decided to ignore this comment, and bought everything. As soon as Matilda tried the orange slush, she hated it, took another straw and handed it to Alfred, who took it with glee. They decided to stay in the store whilst having these, due to it being severely more cold outside than in, even though it was still pretty cold inside. After a little while, (After about two minutes or so) Jessica came in, followed by Athena and Angel. They stared utterly aghast as they saw Jay, Alfred and Dave having frozen beverages in the cold weather.

'What the hell is wrong with you guys?' Jessica asked. 'And why the hell is that orange?'

'Why does nobody like orange!?' Jay shouted.

'BECAUSE IT'S THE WORST!!!' everyone shouted, apart from Jay and Alfred.

Jay couldn't really stand up for orange against such a large army, so he decided to keep his mouth shut.

'What is wrong with you people?' Angel asked.

'I had nothing to do with this...!' Matilda said, leaving the store.

'Let's get out of here...' Athena recommended. 

'Yeah...' Jessica replied.

And they ran out of the store in utter horror. And Dave shrugged and said 'Weirdos...'

'Says you stupid!!!' Jessica shouted, from just outside.

And she stormed back in and whacked him on the head with a hardback book.

'And I had a brain freeze too...' Dave said.

THE END

These people are such weirdos sometimes. This is actually based on a true even that happened today. They didn't actually get ice creams but, who cares? Anyways please leave a vote, it really helps!
