Christmas Eve 2001

  Jonny woke up and got out of bed. Chris was still asleep next to him. Jonny had been so far on the edge of the bed he would've fallen if he had even moved an inch. Jonny pulled his some clothing from his bag and went into the bathroom to change. After getting changed, Jonny pulled the sheet off of Chris. 

   "Wake up man," Jonny said. Chris groaned, "Fine..." Chris pulled himself out of bed and Jonny sat and waited for him. Chris complained, "What are we even gonna do?" Jonny shrugged, "Museums are nice, we are in a touristy spot anyway." Chris said, "Museums, really?" Jonny nodded, "Come on, I'm sure you'll enjoy some good art." Chris frowned, "Ok.." Jonny and Chris left together and they walked down the hall. The two went into the elevator. Jonny looked at his watch. Chris opened his car door and started his car. 

At the art museum

  Chris tilted his head sideways while looking at a painting. "What is that?" Jonny squinted, "Maybe a dog, a horse, a man?" Chris shook his head, "Can't be. Maybe an upsidedown dear." Jonny sighed, "I really don't understand modern art." Chris shrugged, "I don't understand art in general." Jonny chuckled, "I can't even draw but, I don't think that this is art."

Christmas 2001

  Jonny woke up and realized that it was Christmas. He used to be so eager for Christmas but, now he didn't have much to look forward to during the holidays. Chris was already up with soda in his hand. Jonny rubbed his eyes, "Merry Christmas." Chris nodded, "Yeah, I uh got you something." 

   Jonny blinked a few times at him, "Uh- I forgot to get you something." Chris shook his head, "It's fine." Jonny nodded before asking, "So, what is it?" Chris grinned and passed him a bag. "It's a hat for your receding hairline." Jonny rolled his eyes, "Very funny." He pulled out the hat and eyed it. It was green and quite nice. "Hmm, thanks," he smiled again before placing it on his head. Chris nodded, "Looks great." Chris sighed, "What do you wanna do today?" Jonny shook his head, "I just wanna sleep." Chris shrugged, "Lame." Jonny rolled back into bed with his new hat covering his eyes. Chris said, "I'm gonna go to the store and buy something, you want anything?" Jonny sighed, "Beer." Chris opened the door, "Alright." Then, he left. Jonny got up soon after and he took a shower. His hair was disgusting and greasy but, now it was only disgusting or at least that was what he thought. Chris came back an hour after he had left. Chris said, "I had an idea, maybe we should wait to drink these for New Years." Jonny scrunched his face, "If you insist, I guess I could wait." Chris smiled, "Wanna see if we can get some breakfast?"
