I'll Never Forget You

One: Pajama Pants and Short Shorts

"Come on, dude. She's really pretty." Percy begged Joe.

He had been trying to get Joe a girlfriend for about a week now. And it was clear that he wasn't giving up.

They were in Joe's apartment on a Thursday night. Joe had been playing games on his phone when Percy barged in. It seemed to Joe like Percy was trying to set him up with another girl about every other day. It was getting annoying because none of them were his type. And he was starting to wonder how Percy knew so many girls.

"If you think she's so pretty, then why you date her yourself?" Joe got up from the couch, his hair was wet because he had just gotten out of the shower.

"I'm trying to get you a girlfriend, man."

"Well, it doesn't seem to be working."

Joe was starting to get tired of going on dates every other day with girls who he didn't even like.

"Just give it some time. I'm going to find a girl who you like, I promise." Percy said this with a big smile on his face.

Joe could see the excitement in Percy's eyes. He was really determined. He really wanted Joe to get a girlfriend. Joe would be lieing if he said that he didn't want one and this was probably his best bet at getting one. He couldn't say no.

"Ok fine, tell me about this girl."

The next night, Joe was heading to a fancy restaurant to meet his date. He was wearing a white long sleeved shirt and black pants. Nothing too fancy. He was hoping that maybe he'd actually like her this time. But he was completely wrong, this was actually going to be the worst date yet.

He was a little late, so he was sure that she was already there by the time he got there. Now came the hard part, figuring out which one she was. Just looking around the room, you could tell that there was more than one girl who was waiting for her date. But Joe eventually found her.

"Are you Andrea?" He asked a girl who was sitting by herself.

"Yes, I am."

Joe could already tell that it was just the same as always. Pretty? Yes. His type? No. Within minutes, it was already going horribly. She was rambling on about her job at some fast food place, or maybe it was a grocery store. Joe was finding it so hard to pay attention. He didn't want her to know that he was uninterested.

About halfway through the date, Joe excused himself to go to the bathroom. Not because he had to go, but mainly just to get away from her. When he got into the bathroom, there were these two guys in there who were about his age. They were just standing there. Joe used to see guys just standing around in a bathroom all the time in high school, but not so much ever since he graduated about a year ago. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to talk to them.

"What are you guys doing?" Joe asked.

"We're hiding from our dates." One of them answered.

They were doing the exact same thing that Joe was doing. But based off of what they were wearing, Joe would not have guessed that they were on dates. The one who had answered Joe was wearing a hoodie and pajama pants. He probably didn't even change before leaving his house.

Joe probably would have been able to guess that the other guy was on a date if he had seen him only from the waist up. He was wearing a suit and tie with short shorts. It seemed like he thought his date was going to be a video call.

"You wanna join us?" Short shorts offered.

"Um, no."

Joe would have much preferred to just sit in the stall and call an uber to get him out of there.

"Come on, we're playing 'who can shove the other the hardest'." Pajama pants told Joe.

"I'm good." He reassured them.

Joe started to leave, but the second he turned around...

"Aaaah!"

Joe turned back around to see that Short shorts had fallen into the urinal.

"I'm so sorry!" Pajama pants cried. "I didn't mean to shove you that hard."

Short shorts tried to get out, but he was stuck.

"Don't worry, I'll get you out." Pajama pants promised.

He grabbed one of Short shorts' hands and started pulling, but he wasn't budging. After seeing this, being with Andrea didn't sound so bad. But as much as Joe wanted to leave, he felt like he was obligated to help. So he grabbed Shorts shorts' other hand and pulled as hard as he could.

"Come on, guys. Pull harder!" Short shorts urged.

"We're trying," Pajama pants said through gritted teeth.

After a few more seconds, they finally pulled Short shorts out. Joe and Pajama pants had been pulling so hard, that when he came out, the both of them flew backwards and fell on the floor. And Shorts shorts, being the klutz he was, fell on top of them.

All three of them were now laying on the floor of a public bathroom. Not exactly the most hygienic way to spend the night. After Short shorts fell on top of them, Joe felt something wet. When he looked up, he noticed that Short shorts' butt was drenched in toilet water and it was dripping on them.

"Eeew, your getting toilet water on us!" Joe warned Short shorts.

"Sorry," Short shorts apologized.

They all got up and inspected themselves to see how wet they had gotten. Joe's pants were black, so you couldn't see the wet spots. However, there were a few wet spots on his shirt. Meanwhile, it looked Pajama pants had peed himself and it looked like Short shorts had pooped himself.

"What are we gonna do now?" Pajama pants inquired. "We can't go out there like this."

"Oh I know! We can dry it up with toilet paper." Short shorts suggested.

He didn't even wait for their feedback. He rushed over to the nearest stall and threw the door open.

"Get out of here!" Came a voice from inside the stall.

"Sorry," Short shorts closed the door and walked back over to where the others were standing. "Maybe we should try something else."

Joe tried to think. What could they do? But he was interrupted when Short shorts suddenly turned on Pajama pants.

"This is all your fault! Your the one who pushed me into the urinal."

"Well, your the one who suggested we play that stupid game in the first place." Pajama pants argued.

It looked like they were ready to get into a fist fight, but it was hard for Joe to take them seriously because of the fact that it looked like neither of them had made it to the toilet in time. Joe knew that he had to stop them, they were already covered in toilet water, the last thing they needed was a black eye.

"Guys, stop arguing! In order to get out of here, we have to work together." Joe told them.

"So what are we gonna do?" Pajama pants asked

Joe looked around and spotted a window. He knew what they had to do. Joe and Pajama pants lifted Short shorts up and he was out. Then Joe lifted Pajama pants up and he was out. Joe tried to climb up by himself but he couldn't do it. So he had to ask the guy in the stall to help him. He honestly felt kinda bad for the guy, he was just trying to do his buisness and people were shoving each other and falling into urinals outside of the stall.

But he was still nice enough to help Joe. So now, all three of them had gotten out. That night had truly been crazy, but Joe did manage to get out of the second half of the date, so maybe it wasn't that bad. If Joe ever ran into Pajama pants and Short shorts again, he just hoped that it wasn't in a public bathroom.

When Joe got home, Percy was there waiting for him. They didn't live together, but Percy wanted to know how the date went as soon as possible. This time, he didn't even have to ask. It was pretty obvious since Joe had come home early.

"Don't worry, there's this party tomorrow night." Percy began.

"And there's another girl you want me to meet." Joe guessed.

"Not just one girl, three."
