Jake sat on a bench, thinking about his girlfriend, Kate. She was getting a bit possessive and he didn't like it. Soon, Alex sat down. Whenever an emotional scar marked on one of them, the other would fly at speed of light to make sure they weren't hurt that deep. "Kate?" She asked, knowing there'd be a reluctant yes. "Why are girls possessive?" Jake asked her. Kate smiled and explained to her sad best friend, "She just likes you a lot, so that's why." Jake took a breath and explained, "Dating is a huffy, catastrophically-packed disaster, chugged with makeup and garnished with love and hate!" For sometime, they stared randomly into space.
"Man, you made word soup!" Alex blurted out with a pasted grin on her face. "Hell, yeah, I mean who says those words now? It's 2016, better get a move on to the world trends." Jake said in a Goofy (Mickey Mouse reference) tone. The two friends soon burst out laughing. Everything was back to normal, then. Driving to the beach. Taking selfies. Running across the coastline on sunset. Alex and Jake piggybacked. Something only close boyfriends and girlfriends would do, but these two didn't take it seriously as that.
"Maybe I should get back," Alex said, thinking Jake would want some alone time now. "Why? Come on, we need to catch a ride to the mall and get you decent clothes! Then, we need to go and buy me a Lexus with your dad's credit card!" Jake insisted, knowing Alex was just being courteous and she really just needed a break, too. Dating really talked sense of friendship into Jake and Alex. See that little twist in the story title. Anyway, Alex's eyes widened at the thought of buying an expensive Lexus for Jake with her money, the sunroof would be up and they'd be living the life.
"Sure, which type, Indiana Jones?" Alex joked. Best Friends. Like bestest friends, ever. They actually rode to the mall and got nice shirts and pants with Jake's and Alex's money and it did them good. But when Kate and Kevin asked about the newbie changes, they both relied, "Mine's a gift from Walmart." The other would say, "My uncle came round the same time the gift came from Walmart." The -friends didn't mind those excuses, but when asked again, the pressed on that Jake's cousin brought both clothes safely from Walmart, due to a clash of airline disputes, big words.
