Just!

The Birthday

“ANDY! Jen yelled. I had just been packing my stuff for a holiday to the beach when Jen stormed into my room. “Did you tell Craig I still loved him?” She asked me. “No you cow” I replied. “Then who did?” She asked. “You should ask him” I said back to her. Now was the time to carry out my masterplan. Jen would call Craig, who wouldn’t pick up. She would then go to Craig’s house and ask him who told him she still liked him. “Well Melissa told me that Sarah told her that Nathan told her that Craig told him that you told him”. Now, the truth was that I had told him, but I couldn’t let Jen know that. Not around my birthday. She would tell mum and dad and they wouldn’t get me any good presents. So, in between Jen going to Craig’s house I had to find a way to either talk to Craig or stop Jen from talking to him. I chose the second option. My plan was simple, Danny and I will dress up in suits, and wear wigs and ask if she wanted to eat at our 5-star restaurant for a complimentary lunch. In reality, the 5-star restaurant would just be Danny’s dining room. At this moment in time, Jen was walking to the petrol station, so I had to get Danny over quickly. About 3 minutes later the restaurant was prepared and Danny was over at my house. We waited on the side of the road for about 10 minutes before we saw her. As she came close to us, we both yelled, “Hello madame, would you like to have lunch at a 5-star restaurant?” “No, I have to fix something” She said. “Did we mention it’s free?” Danny added. “On that hand…” Jen wondered out loud. Before she could think more about it, we gave her our homemade business cards stating the address and told her the time to come. Sure enough, 15 minutes later at 12:30pm she was there. “Buon jour madame” I greeted. “You look just like my brother” She said suspiciously. “He must be very handsome then, sit in here” I pointed to a desk and chair. Now most importantly, the food. For the entrée we would serve slug and snail shell soup, for the main we would serve rotten scrambled eggs, with homegrown organic chives, and finally dessert. Dessert would consist of old ice cream (Really just mayonnaise) and a hotdog water sauce. The entrée came out, and Jen complimented its looks. We then got to work on the main course, but as I checked to see how Jen was going, she was gone. “Danny, Jen isn’t here anymore” I yelled. But there was no reply from Danny as well. Instead emerged Danny’s severed head followed by his body. Jen stepped out of the kitchen holding a knife grinning. “SURPRISE!” and out came all my friends and family giving me an early surprise party. “What about Danny?” Danny jumped back to life, put his head back on and started laughing. But I knew this wasn’t over. As soon as Jen saw her opportunity she would sneak out and ask Craig. Danny and I had to figure out a new plan.
