Benedict's Flight

Chapter 14- Hoedown Throwdown

Ben and Gabbie and Nicole and Caroline all set off on their adventurously miraculous adventure of miraculousness. But just as they were about to start walking through the Fantastic Fabulous Forest of Ferret Fingers on their way to the Space Launch Pad that would allow them to fly to Mathatopia, Ben stopped dead in his tracks.

"WAIT CHILDREN! I MUST DO SOMETHING BEFORE WE SET OFF!"

"Woah. We. Are. Not. Children." spoke Nicole.

"Well...I am sorry. Indeed I am sorry. But I just...I need to do something."

"AND WHAT ON EARTH MIGHT THAT BE!?" Gabbie screamed obnoxiously loud.

"My shoes, you see. Before I take off, I need to put on my Red Pope Shoes."

"Oh we see. HURRY UP THEN!" yelled Caroline.

"Okay okay" and with that, Ben sat down on a-well it was a-well some log-type thing. He took off his fabulous neon green limited edition stiletto high heels. He took his red shoes out of his fanny pack, and placed them on his feet. Then...he stood up. Suddenly, in the distance, he started to hear music.

"What...what is this WONDERFUL MUSIC BLESSING MY EARS!?" shouted Caroline.

"THIS SONG. OH MY FUCKING G. THIS SONG SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR!!!" yelled Nicole.

"You are all correct. This song-we know this-I mean-from our childhood and shit......" said Gabbie ominously as she gazed into the distance dramatically. Indeed they knew the song. And indeed they knew the song from their childhood.

All of the sudden, the song became MUCH louder. The four of them leaped to their feet. They couldn't help it. They had to do what needed to be done...they had to dance.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" screamed Ben. "It's the one and only... HOEDOWN THROWDOWN!!!"

The three elves gasped.

"Well, there's only one way out of this. We have to dance out way through the song...I hate when this happens..." said Nicole.

"When has this ever happened before?" Ben questioned.

"It happens all the time!" said Caroline. "Just turn your head slightly to the left, and look at the giant coconut!"

Ben did as he was told.

"WOOOOAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

He yelled in awe "THAT COCONUT IS TRULY VERY LARGE YOU LITTLE MUTHA FUCKAS."

"Oh yes! Yes it is! You see Ben, this coconut rolls around the forest all the time, playing music! If you don't dance to the music, it will pour it's coconut milk on you until you drown...it's really quite terrible." Gabbie explained "All we have to do is dance through the entire Hoedown Throwdown, and The Coconut with let us go on our way!"

"Seems easy enough!"

"It's not." said Nicole.

"How?"

"If you get the dance wrong, The Coconut will drown you immediately," said Nicole. "But at least the Coconut will give us time to rehearse the dance beforehand."

Gabbie, Caroline, and Nicole pulled Ben aside and started rehearsing the dance until they got it down. The Coconut requested for them to dance, and he played the Hoedown Throwdown very loudly for the entire forest to hear. And then, they were off. The four amigos were poppin, lockin, and polka-dottin like nobody had ever seen before. The were amazing and did the dance to perfection. As soon as it ended, the Coconut simply rolled away and let them go on their way. And then.... *cue dramatic music*... They celebrated.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DID IT!!!" screamed Caroline.

"WE ARE SUCESSFULLL!!! TIME TO KICK SOME MASTER BUTT!" screeched Nicole.

"We did it. We had to. We just... Did it. We came and we conquered. We done what had to be done." Gabbie said with a straight face.

"GUYS," Ben announced. "WE DID IT!!! I JUST-I BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING NOW! YOU PUT A CHALLENGE IN FRONT OF ME, I'LL ACCOMPLISH IT!"

And after all the inspirational yelling, the four amigos turned their heads slightly to the left, spotted their original trail, and followed it...
