The 5th Joker

Reunited

Present Day:

Today was my second day off from work. And it was nice outside and so I decided to take the Bear and Riley out for a walk. I really don't take Lola and Chance out for walks, but today I was feeling special. So I ended up driving all 4 dogs to the dog park.

While I was parking I noticed a camera crew but didn't pay much attention to it. I hook the leashes to the dogs and we start our walk. We walk by the camera crew, I look around a bit. I saw lots of people rushing everywhere. But what stood out mostly was the four men standing in front of a large number of camera. I push the thought to the back of my mind and keep walking. After a few minutes of walking, I sit on some stone steps and tell the dogs to sit. The leashes were starting to hurt my wrist from all the pulling.

"Cute dogs" A guy with glasses and neatly combed black hair said.

"Thanks" I say, picking up Lola. Bear starts jumping on the man. He was still a puppy and he didn't know better.

"I'm so sorry" I apologized, grabbing Bear by the collar and pulling him of the man.

"No. Its alright....wait, don't I know you" He says, suddenly. I actually think I did. He look very familiar.

"I don't know but you look very familiar" I say.

"Its me. Sal. We went to high school together. What's your name?" He says, sparking something in my memory.

"Angie"

"Yeah! Angie! Remember. We-We....made out under the bleachers at..a..n-nude pep rally" He says, making me laugh.

"I don't know about that part, but I think we did go to high school together" I say.

"Yeah. Remember with the ferret-y looking guy, and the one with the big nose. Then there was the guy who read comics all the time " He says, glancing behind me.

"Yeah! You, James, Joe, and Brian" I say, as memories start coming back. We did go to high school together, but something happened and I wasn't able to see them again. Well, Sal is here. I remember I had a little bit of a crush on him for a while.

"So you know me?"

"Yeah!" I say, putting Lola down, and hugging him.

"Is there any chance we could exchange numbers?" He asks.

"Sure" I say, handing him my phone. He does the same with his.

"Well. It was great seeing you" I say, getting up and taking the dogs leashes.

"Oh before you go...." He says, waving for someone behind me. I turn my head and see Joe, James, and Brian.

"Oh my god! It's been so long" I say, shocked at how different they looked. But some how they still looked the same when I last saw them. I hug each of them.

"Yes it has. You look so different" Q says. I notice a guy come up to Joe and hand him a clipboard.

"So Ang. When you where sitting on the step. We where telling each other what to do with a microphone and earpieces" Joe says, pulling the earpiece out his ear.

"And we need you signature to show your face on TV" He says, handing me the pen. I sign the papers.

"So now your on TV, huh?" I ask.

"Yeah. On a show called Impractical Jokers" I always knew they would turn our trouble making into something big one day.

"Cool. I got to go but maybe we can catch up sometime" I say, writing my number on the paper too. I wave goodbye and walk the dogs back to the car. Once I have all the dogs in the car, I get in myself and exhale deeply. Thinking about the last time I saw them. I push it the back of my mind, start the engine and drive home.
