There's this Elmo plush at my grandma's house who sings that song when you push a little button on his not-so-plush guitar. Country Crooner Elmo or summat like that. He's coming with us. You know those pieces of media where the main character is going on a road trip - or to broaden it, because I don't actually know if that in specific has ever been a thing (though I'm sure it has) so of course you don't know that, at least a car ride - but first they have to gather up the 'gang'? Friends, family, criminal masterminds, whatever tickles them. And each member gets a place they were before, and a certain thing about them all within a minute and they'll maybe - maybe-not ever be explored any deeper than that? And it's fakey and contrived and easy? I love that sorta stuff. So my road trip is deffo gonna be one of those. The first member of my gang is Country Crooner Elmo. He's frickin' inanimate. That's his thing.
The first leg of this trip is gonna be a long one. All the way from my humble Costa Rica home to the great state of Kentucky. They have bluegrass there. Not the music, but the grass. It's the best grass - soft and nice to lay in. The grass at home is poky and irritating and eventually you freak out that bugs are walking on you because a blade just barely rustles against your exposed skin like your neck or ankles so you get up and leave. I'd like to find a grassy knoll in Kentucky and lay there forever with my road-trip Elmo. Get a super efficient newton's cradle positioned just right so I don't even have to keep getting up to press his button. It also has a giant I don't know, system of caves? I'd like to adventure into a cave not really knowing what I'm getting in to but what would 99% happen is walking down a giant path with loads of people that happens to be underground, but what are dreams for if not to be crushed? There's also this teeny Australian Animal zoo, which doesn't have the best ones tbh but would still be awesome.
After that I'd take a quick stop to ohio to do some clubbing *wink wonk* By that I obviously mean stand outside the infamous hookah club and wait for shay's bus to come by, because he's p cool and the whole person I would maybe be able to find at the time of writing this. He'll be like 'Im gonna miss school' and I'd have to tell him to loosen up while actually just ruining his life and then he comes with me anyway for no reason because that's how this movie goes. That's where he was. Since he's an actual person who might read this I don't want to pigeonhole him with a thing, but maybe he will share. After that perhaps we would check out the legendary mounds nearby, but probably not because it's Ohio and you don't want to spend more time there than you have to.
Then we make haste to Utah because I did a state report on this boy so sorta but really don't know all the hot places to check out. Also it's kinda a desert so Shay can do his own research for whatever he's working on. Elmo is just happy to be on the road again. "Woo!" he says, over and over again. We can go to the great salt lake and float in it, because I think the salt makes you float. Elmo would get up from his safe and dry spot and walk over to dive in from the bank. We'd be so shocked we'd all die and drown - even with all the salt and all.
So there you go. Like most of these questions, it's not what I'd actually do, but it's what I wrote about, and I hope it brings some joy to someone. Keep being awesome, y'all.
I keep trying to post this and Wattpad is like ok mate so I sleep but wattpad's actions are more like 'no way mate' so I die. And this is the third time I've written one of these dumb addendums for this. If four of these things start flopping around or if they have always been there for you and I just look like an idiot, I'm dearly sorry. Also message me to stop xD
