//------------------------------// // Earth // Story: Shadow Darkwing // by Bro-Pony //------------------------------// “Damn, I must have got knocked out from getting dizzy that time, strange though, I’ve never been knocked out from it.” I thought to myself as I got up. “Wow. I’ve been out since 6:00am and its 9:00pm… I should probably get home before my parents start to worry.” I thought as I picked up my guitar and started my hour hike back home. “I think it’s time to stop watching My Little Pony. That was a long and detailed dream.” I thought as I remembered a small detail of the dream. “I kind of wish I could remember more though, it seems like I was having fun.” I thought “Wow… I just realized I’ve been talking to myself a lot recently.” I thought, and decided to stop and just walk. The walk was peaceful, which was good because I knew I was going to get bitched at for being out so late. When I got home, I noticed there were no lights on in the garage. “Weird, mom and dad always leave a light on so I don’t trip on something while I walk through the dark garage.” I thought. “Oh well, YOLO.” I said as I walked up to the garage door. I tried to open the door but it was locked. “Really? Come on…” I said as I pulled a key out of my pocket and unlocked the door. “The garage was practically empty, well empty of all my stuff. “What the hell! Did they have a garage sell while I was out?” I asked myself “Oh, well, not like I have time for that stuff anyways.” I thought as I tried to open the door that led inside my house, which was also locked. “What… They never lock this door when I’m out.” I said getting pissed. “Time for plan B” I said to myself. Plan B was going through the window that led to my room. “Why do I always leave the blinds down? I hope they didn’t sell my Xbox.” I said as I tried to get a glimpse of my room through my window before going in. “Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to find out.” I said as I opened the window and when in feet first. I fell pretty hard as I went through the window, I was expecting my bed to be there but it wasn’t, nothing was in there but a bunch of packed boxes. “What the hell?” I thought as I tried to piece things together. “Wait a second, maybe they didn’t sell my stuff, maybe they packed it all up, maybe we’re moving?” I said trying to figure everything out. “But that doesn’t explain why the doors were locked.” I said still trying to explain that. “Well, only one way to find out.” I said as I walked to my room door to open it. I knew my parents were still up because I saw light coming from under my door, and I heard the TV on. I walked through the small hallway and out into my living room to see my parents sitting on the couch watching TV. “Forget something?” I said in an angry sarcastic tone. My parents both turned around and were shocked to see me standing there, they were speechless, serves them right for locking their son out. “Why did you lock me out?” I asked My mom instantly sprang up and ran towards me crying and hugging me. “Calm down, it’s not that big of a deal.” I said as she hugged me. “Where were you?” my dad asked. “Oh ya, sorry I’m late, I passed out for a couple of hours, but I’m only an hour late so I don’t think I should be grounded.” I said hoping he wouldn’t ground me. “An hour late? You were gone for two weeks.” My dad said still shocked, then my mom spoke. “We called the police when you didn’t come home or answer your phone, they looked for you for a full week but after the week they said you were most likely dead.” My mom said then busted into more tears. “What? I must have been out more than 15 hours.” I said “What happened?” my dad asked curiously. “I don’t know, I was in the woods then I felt dizzy and passed out.” I said “Out by the old ruins?” my dad asked “Ya.” I said “The police checked there and said you weren’t there.” My dad said. “Well, obviously I was there.” I said in a casual tone. “Why are you so calm about this?” my mom asked still sobbing. “Well, I’m up; I’ve been sleeping for apparently two weeks, so I guess I’m just refreshed.” I said “That doesn’t even make sense.” My dad said “Well, let’s not worry about what happens, I’m here now and that’s all that matters.” I said “Your right.” My dad said. “So, where is all of my stuff?” I asked. “Well… we sold it.” My dad said. “What?!” I asked. “It’s ok, we can buy whatever you want now, in fact, we’re moving.” My dad said with a big grin on his face. “What are you talking about?” I asked confused. “Well, three days ago we won the lottery” My dad said. “What! That’s awesome.” I said. “It’s even better now that your back.” My mom said “So, does this mean I can get a car?” I asked with wide eyes “Son, after missing for two weeks, you can have whatever you want.” My dad said. “Awesome!” I said “Well, for tonight I guess I’ll just sleep on the floor.” I said as I started towards my room.” You don’t have too, you can sleep on the couch.” My dad suggested. “No, it’s ok.” I said then headed for my room. Once I was in my room I heard my parents talking “I can’t believe he’s back!” my mom said “I know, first we win the lottery then we get our son back, this is a miracle.” My dad said. A few hours went by of my parents talking until I finally fell asleep. Dream: I was in my room, but there was some large cartoon pony in there too. “Aw Caleb, how are you liking being back on earth?” The large red pony asked “This is a trippy dream.” I said in reply “Well, that doesn’t quite answer my question.” He said with a grin “Well, in my defense I never left Earth, I just fell asleep for two weeks.” I said “Yes, of course.” The red Pony said. “So, would you like to hear a secret?” the large pony said “Why not.” I said in reply “I can teach you how to use magic.” The pony said “I bet you can.” I said with a grin. “Do you not believe me?” the pony said. “No, I believe you. After all, I’m in a dream with a horse that has wings, a horn, and can talk.” I said “True, but just take this into mind, you have the power to things no other human can.” He said then disappeared as I woke up. “Well, that was a fun dream.” I said as I slowly woke up to take on the day. Today was the day that we were moving; a new house would be great to start my new life. I would have a car, new school, new friends, new everything!” I said getting excited at the thought. I got up, showered, and got ready for the day. Even though I was getting a new home, I still had school tomorrow so I had to help with the move and get new school supplies. The day was long as I went around helping packing, and putting it in the truck, then I had to drive to the store and get new cloths, paper, pencils, ect. The time finally arrived when I got to see my new home. We drove about an hour away from our spot, we were in more country land now, we had about 200 acres of land and a large two story house with a 5 car garage. Inside the garage, with a big Red ribbon around it, was a dark red Camaro. “You shouldn’t have!” I yelled as I ran up to the Camaro and gave it a hug. “That’s not all.” My dad said as he opened the second garage door reveling a dark blue rapture truck. I almost cried when I saw it. “It’s so beautiful.” I said as I just stared at it. “Well, after thinking you were dead, it’s the least we can do.” My mom said. “Wait till you see your room.” My dad said. We walked into the large white house, inside was a very modern styl, new appliances, hard wood floors, orange walls, ect. My dad covered my eyes as we walked up stairs. When my dad uncovered my eyes he reviled a second story floor but he said it was all mine. There was a bathroom, kitchen, family room with a large plasma screen TV with an Xbox and a PS3. There was a large bedroom, and best of all, a recording studio in my own house. “Wow!” I said as I stared at all the things my parents bought. “How did you manage to get all of this stuff in 24 hours?” I asked. “Well, when you went to sleep, we made some calls and made it happen.” My parents said. “That’s not even the best part.” My mom said as she walked me to the back of the second story floor. “What is it?” I asked excitedly My mom walked me to a door that led directly out into my garage. “You have the freedom of coming and going as you please, just as long as you tell us you’re leaving.” My mom said. “Wow, Thanks, but that’s so..” I said not sure of what to say. “Uncharacteristic?” my dad asked. “Yes, exactly.” I said “Well, we know that life is going to be different, we want you to make your own choices so this is out gift to you, trust.” My dad said. “Thanks!” I said “No problem, well we’re going to get some sleep, I suggest you doing the same, you have a new school to go to tomorrow.” My dad said. “You’re right.” I said. My parents then left my floor and shut the door to the stairs and continued to their bedroom. “Wow, I have my own little house up here, my parents even gave me a debt card.” I said looking down at it. “This is amazing.” I said as I went into my room to get some sleep. NEXT DAY: I had another dream about some magical horse telling me about magic, it’s kind of weird but I almost believe it. I got up, took a shower and did my normal routine; I made my own breakfast on my own stove then cleaned up the mess and proceeded to my garage “Great, first day at a new school and I might be late.” I said as I rushed down to my garage. “Hmmm… which to drive?” I said bragging to myself as I looked at my suggestions. “Camaro.” I said as I walked up to it and got inside. “Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.” I said as I turned on the vehicle. “This is awesome but… something’s missing I said. “Oh, I know music and shades.” I said as I put on my shads and hooked my iPod to my car’s speakers and started to play the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hDuAsmDT9M “There we go.” I said as I pulled out of the drive way and headed down the dirt road to the high way. “Let’s see what this baby can do.” I said as I accelerated and flew down the long dirt road. Driving was awesome with this Camaro, especially when you’re driving blasting awesome music out your car. I dove for about 15 minutes until I saw the school come up. “Well, looks like I’m not late after all.” I said when I noticed I still had like 30min until school starts. I pulled into the student parking lot and saw that everyone’s eyes were on me. “Wow, looks like people have noticed the new kid… just keep it cool and you’ll be fine.” I said trying to pep talk myself as I found a parking spot a few spaces down from a group of kids. I turned off my and got out making sure I locked it and started to go towards the main office. “Ok, just walk past this group and they won’t mess with you.” I thought as I was walking past the kids “Hey, kid.” I heard a male voice say and turned around to see who was talking to me. “Ya?” I asked as I saw it was a guy leaning on the hood of a ford charger with a group around him. “Are you new?” he asked “Ya, is it that obvious?” I asked as I walked towards him trying to stay calm. “Ya, but that’s ok, it happens to everyone, what class are you in.” he asked “Oh, I’m a Jr.” I said “Oh, ya, so are we.” He said motioning to his crew. “We saw you pull up in that Camaro is it new?” he asked. “Well it’s new to me, I don’t know if it’s a new car though.” I said “Oh, well it’s a nice ride.” He said. “Thanks, I like your charger.” I said eyeing it, it really was a nice ride especially since he jacked it up a bit. “Thanks.” He said. “I’m Jeff, quarter back for the varsity football team.” He said putting out a hand. “I’m Caleb, new kid in school” I said reaching for his hand and shaking it. “Wow, you got a firm grip Caleb, I like it.” He said. “Thanks, and who are your friends?” I asked seeing that there were three girls and two guys other than Jeff present. “This is Chris; he is the Varsity’s wrestling teams Captain.” He said pointing to Chris who put up a hand to acknowledge me. “This is Rick; Rick is the varsity Soccer captain. “Hey” I said doing a small wave to say hey. “These lovely ladies are our girlfriends.” He said motioning to the girls. “Hey” I said to them. “So, do you play any sports?” he asked “Well, I’ve never really tried out for a team but I play guitar.” I said motioning to the guitar strapped to my back. “Oh, well you should play us something.” He said “I would love too but I still have to get my schedule, maybe tomorrow?” I asked “Sure thing Caleb, see you around.” He said “Ya.” I said and continued on to the office. “Wow, did I just become friends with the popular kids?” I asked myself kind of surprised. I got my schedule and put it away and proceeded on to a waiting area for the last 5 minutes. One hour earlier in Ponyville(Twilights POV): “Ok, I’m ready to do the spell, is everypony here that is going?” Mist asked “Let me check.” I said “Rarity?” I asked “Here” She replied “FlutterShy” I asked “Here” She replied “Rainbow Dash?” I asked “Here” She replied “Ok, I think everypony is here.” Mist said getting slightly frustrated. “OK” I said “Now, before you go we must discuss some things.” Mist said “For one, Shadow’s name is Caleb, he will not know you, you will need new names, you will have a human’s body, and you will also act like a human. Do not let yourself fall for the temptations of a human, your bodys will react in new ways to new things so don’t be surprised.” Mist said “Any questions?” he asked. “What will our names be? Where will we stay? How will we find Shadow?” I asked “You will decide your own names; we have created a temporary home with a human who knows of your world, the human created a show about your life’s so the world knows a little about us, the human will not interfere with you though so don’t worry about her and you will be going to his school, you will have classes with him and it is your job to try and get him to trust you. To make it easier, we have made each of your human bodies attractive; this will help get him to let you talk to him. Your magic won’t work in that world but his will, don’t rush into telling him about who you are because he will likely not believe you. Do you all understand?” Mist asked. “Yes” we all answered. “Good, I will send you in now, good luck.” He said A big flash happened and we were all on Earth in a house. “Everybody ok?” I asked “Ya” they all answer “Ok good, we have an hour to figure out names and- Was all I called say before everyone started to freak out over their new body’s “Where are my wings?!” Dash screamed “What are these things on my chest?” Apple jack asked “I don’t know but their so big and soft!” Pinkie said “Girls Focus, new bodies remember?” I yelled “Oh ya.” They said. “Ok, so, we can easily tell each other apart, we still have some sort of mane on top of our heads that stayed the same color.” I said “Now, we need names.” I said “Rainbow, what do you want to be called? “ I asked “Dash.” She replied “That might be suitable.” I said “Pinkie how about you?” I asked “Ashley!” she yelled. “Ok, sounds fine.” I said “Rarity?” I asked “Rachel.” She said “Ok, Apple Jack?” I asked “AJ.” She said “That should work” I said “Flutter Shy?” I asked “Sierra.” She said “Ok and you can call me Jordan.” I said “Now, we need to get out stuff for school ready, Mist let me instructions for any possible thing we would need so if you have questions just ask, meet back here in 10.” I said “Ok.” They all said Present time(My POV): The bell rang and I had to get to my first class. “OK, I have Chemistry Honors first with a Mrs. Penelope in room 301.” I said examining my schedule. I walked into class and looked around; there were already a bunch of kids talking certain desks. “Great, joining a new school isn’t as glamorous as I thought it would have been, nobody knows me so now I need to try and meet new friends.” I thought to myself as I walked to an empty desk. “I’ll make new friends over here alone.” I decided and set my guitar down next to my desk and brought out the stuff I would need for the class. The teacher then walked in with two other girls behind her. One had dark and light purple hair and the other had straight pink hair. “Wow, some people have a weird taste of style.” I thought to myself “Ok class, we have three new students, not just new to the class but to the school so let’s give a warm welcome them, would you three please come up to the front?” the teacher asked. I got up and stood next to the two girls, they had different color hair but it still looked nice, the girls themselves were also pretty. “This is Sierra, Jordan, and Caleb.” She said pointing to each one of us in order. “please say something about yourselves” the teacher said. Sierra went first. “Hi, I’m Sierra and I like animals.” She said in a very small voice, I guess she is very shy because she looked so scared. “Hi, I’m Jordan and I like to study.” She said, the class looked at her like she was crazy but the teacher said, “Well, that’s a good thing to like.” Then she looked at me expectantly. “Hi, I’m Caleb and I play guitar.” I said “Well class there you have it, now you three can go sit in back corner were Caleb is already seated. Today we are doing a lab that is on page 236, copy the lab report and follow the directions.” The teacher said, the girls and I walked to our seats and the class began to work. “Hi Caleb, we’re glad we’re not the only new kids in this class.” Jordan said with a warm smile. “Ya, the feeling is mutual.” I said smiling back at the pretty girl. “Well, we should probably get started on this lab so we don’t fail.” I said and opened up the book. “Ya, so what lunch do you have?” Jordan asked as she opened her book. “Oh, I have second lunch, how about you?” I asked “Same, you should sit with me and my friends.” She said “How many friends do you have on your first day?” I asked “Well, it’s all of our first day because we all moved here together and there are six of us in all.” She said. “Oh, sounds good to me, I don’t want to sit alone anyways.” I said “I like your guitar.” I heard the shy girl next to me say. “Oh, thanks ugh…” I said trying to remember her name. “Sierra.” She said “Oh, right, sorry Sierra.” I said “It’s ok.” She said in her small voice. The class went on for 40 minutes of us just talking and doing our lab, both girls were nice and super pretty. “Ok class, the bell will ring in 5 minutes so start packing up and since you were so good today you can just hang out for the last 5 minutes.” The teacher said “Cool.” I said “Can you play me a song?” Sierra asked me. “Ya, that would be awesome.” Jordan said “Well I’m not really that good.” I admitted “Sure you are.” Sierra said At this point the rest of the crowd was talking me into it. “Well, ok I guess but like I said I’m not really that good.” I said as I picked up my guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJbG7256ZLY Gonna put the the world away for a minute Pretend I don't live in it Sunshine gonna wash my blues away Had sweet love but I lost it She got too close so I fought her Now I'm lost in the world trying to find me a better way Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere Got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair Sunrise there's a fire in the sky Never been so happy Never felt so high And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise Wrote a note said be back in a minute Bought a boat and I sailed off in it Don't think anybody gonna miss me anyway Mind on a permanent vacation The ocean is my only medication Wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away Cause now im knee deep in the water somewhere Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair Sunrise there's a fire in the sky Never been so happy Never felt so high And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise This champagne shore washing over me It's a sweet sweet life living by the salty sea One day you could be as lost as me Change you're geography Maybe you might be Knee deep in the water somewhere Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair Sunrise there's a fire in the sky Never been so happy Never felt so high And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise Come on in the water it's nice Find yourself a little slice Grab a backpack of lies You never know until you try When you lose yourself You find the key to paradise The class applaud for the happy tune I played, some of the guys and girls where dancing with each other which made me laugh a bit. “Thanks.” I said then the bell rang and kids started to leave the class. “Wow, that was awesome, our friend AJ loves country music so you should play some music during lunch.” Jordan said as then started to walk out the class. I couldn’t help but check her out, it was like instincts to check a pretty girl out and she had a rockin ass. “Great job Caleb, see you tomorrow.” The teacher said. “Thanks, and ok.” I said and left the class. My next class was Algebra 2 in room 105 with Mr. Murrel. “Were in gods earth is the 100 building?” I asked my self I asked a random girl if she knew “Hey, could you help me? I’m new and I need to find the 100 building.” She told me it was behind the 300 building. “Thanks.” I said “No problem.” She said then we went our separate ways. When I got to the second class of the day, I walked to an empty desk in the corner and started to unpack. Kids soon began to pile in including a girl with a rainbow hair dew. “Wow, another cute girl with a weird hair dew.” I thought to myself. “Ok class, we have two new students to our school so let’s do a quick introduction then get busy.” He said “Will Caleb and Dash please come up?” he asked I walked up and saw familiar faces wave so I waved back. “Tell us about your self’s.” The teacher demanded. “My name is Dash, I’m an athlete, I like to go in fast.” She said then sat down. “My name is Caleb, I play guitar.” I said, some kids who were in the last class said I was good and cheered a little. “Ok, well you two can sit together since you’re both new.” The teacher said, and I guess it did make sense to put two kids who haven’t been in the class together so they can both figure it out, and I wasn’t going to complain because she was pretty hot. “Hey Caleb.” She said as she sat down next to me. “Hey Dash, nice meeting you.” I said. “Ya, so have you met a lot of friends so far on your first day?” she asked. “Well, I met two other girls that were both new as well, they also had dyed hair.” I said “Oh ya? What were their names?” she asked. “Sierra and Jordan.” I said. “Oh, ya those are my friends.” She said “Oh, well I guess I’ll see you at lunch then.” I said “Oh, ok, sounds good.” She said The class finally ended, it seemed like it took forever for the bell to ring. “See you Shadow.” Dash said. “Shadow?” I asked “Oh, sorry I meant Caleb.” She said with a blush and quickly left. “Well that was weird.” I said to myself and headed to my next class.” My next two classes where electives so I was set until lunch. I was heading to Art class in room 409 with Mr. Hunter I walked in the class and saw a lot of people already there seats, I walked up to a girl who also had purple hair, hers was swirly though, and asked if I could sit down. “Do you mind if I sit here?” I asked “No, not at all my dear.” She said in a rich persons voice. “Thanks.” I said and sat down. “I like your guitar.” She said. “Thanks.” I said again then the teacher walked in. “Hello class, we have two new student’s, I’m sure by now they’re sick of hearing this but it’s school policy to introduce new students to the school so come on up Caleb and Rachel.” The teacher said We both walked up together, this girl was beautiful in every way you look at her. “Hi, I’m Rachel and I design cloths” she said “Hi, I’m Caleb and I play guitar.” I said “Thanks kids, you can sit down now.” The teacher said. “That’s pretty cool that you design cloths.” I said to her as we sat down. “Thanks, it’s pretty cool that you play the guitar.” She said. “Well, it helps with my game.” I said jokingly. “Game? You know what game is?” she asked a bit shocked “Ya.” I said “So I assume you know what picking a girl up is too right?” she asked. “Well ya.” I said. “Hmm, well that’s good.” She said. “This is a random question but do you know a Dash, Sierra, and Jordan?” I asked. “Why yes I do, those are my best friends.” She said. “Well, they’re pretty nice and they invited me to sit with y’all during lunch.” I said. “Oh, well isn’t that lovely?” she asked. “Well I can see you know a thing or two about being lovely.” I said which made her blush. “Thanks” she said. “No problem, now are you still shocked that I know what game is?” I asked jokingly. She just laughed. The class seemed to go by pretty fast, but that’s probably because I was flirting the whole time with a pretty girl. My next class was Ag. In room 505 with Mr. Leman. I walked into a large room that had all sorts of equipment in it, as usual; everyone was in their own groups talking while I went and sat alone. I was sitting in class for a minute when the prettiest little thing walked in. She was tan with blonde hair that was braided with a cow girl hat on top. “Howdy y’all, is this the Ag. Class?” she asked with a sexy country accent. “Yes ma’am.” Said the Ag. Teacher. I assume you must be AJ?” he asked. “Yes sir.” She said. She was wearing a plaid button up shirt with really short jean shorts on, she had nice tan legs and big green eyes, her eyes weren’t the only thing that where big though. “Well, there’s one, where’s the other new student?” he asked. “Here sir” I said in a bit of a country accent. The accent comes out when I’m near other southern folk or on random occasions. “You must be Caleb then.” He said “Eeyup.” I said in the country accent “Well, you two can sit together while we get started, after a few days you will be caught up to speed.” He said and began to teach his class. “Howdy there partner.” She said as she walked up and put a hand out. “Howdy ma’am.” I said as I reached for her hand, she had a very strong grip. “I like your guitar.” She said while looking down at it. “I like your face: I said jokingly “Why thank ya partner.” She said and sat down next to me. “So, Caleb what lunch do you have?” um, second.” I said trying to stay focused on keeping my eyes up. “Well, that’s just dandy, I also have second lunch, you should sit with me and my friends.” She said. “Well, actually your friends already invited me to sit with them; in fact, I’ve met all of you except one.” I said focusing all of my will to keep eyes matched with hers. “Wow, small school eh?” she said “Yup…” I said “You all rite there Caleb?” she asked. “Huh? What? Ugh ya I’m fine.” I said “Ok.” She said The class was a long and painful class trying to keep my eyes from wandering to places where they weren’t welcome but it finally ended and I late her het up first and lead the way to the lunch area. All I could think of was that song Honky Tonk Badonkadonk by Trace Adkins Every guy was starin while we walked by, I couldn’t help but pull my guitar out and start to play this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNVguvNE7qc She heard the song and couldn’t resist dancing to the rhythm as we walked through the halls. Turn it up some Alright boys, this is her favorite song You know that right So, if we play it good and loud She might get up and dance again Ooh, she put her beer down Here she comes Here she comes Left left left right left Whoo ]Husslers shootin' eightball Throwin' darts at the wall Feelin' damn near 10 ft. tall Here she comes, Lord help us all Ol' T.W.'s girlfriend done slapped him outta his chair Poor ole boy, it ain't his fault It's so hard not to stare At that honky tonk badonkadonk Keepin' perfect rhythm Make ya wanna swing along Got it goin' on Like Donkey Kong And whoo-wee Shut my mouth, slap your grandma There outta be a law Get the Sheriff on the phone Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on That honky tonk badonkadonk (Aww son) Now Honey, you can't blame her For what her mama gave her It ain't right to hate her For workin' that money-maker(every guy yelled) Band shuts down at two But we're hangin' out till three We hate to see her go But love to watch her leave With that honky tonk badonkadonk Keepin' perfect rhythm Make ya wanna swing along Got it goin' on Like Donkey Kong And whoo-wee Shut my mouth, slap your grandma There outta be a law Get the Sheriff on the phone Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on With that honky tonk badonkadonk (Ooh, that's what I'm talkin' bout right there, honey) We don't care bout the drinkin' Barely listen to the band Our hands, they start a shakin' When she gets the urge to dance Drivin' everybody crazy You think you fell in love Boys, you better keep your distance You can look but you can't touch That honkey tonk badonkadonk Keepin' perfect rhythm Make ya wanna swing along Got it goin' on Like Donkey Kong And whoo-wee Shut my mouth, slap your grandma There outta be a law Get the Sheriff on the phone Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on That honky tonk badonkadonk That honky tonk badonkadonk Yeah, that honky tonk badonkadonk (That's it, right there boys, that's why we do what we do It ain't for the money, it ain't for the glory, it ain't for the free whiskey It's for the badonkadonk) Kids were soon following and more girls joined in with AJ as we walked through the halls. It was probably the best moment in my life. “Wow, you sure can play that guitar.” AJ said “There’s some things you are gifted in as well.” I said as I did a pretend check out. She just laughed and walked up to her friends, the crowd then disbursed. “Hey Caleb.” They greeted. “Hey” I said back to them. “What’s your next class?” they asked. “I don’t have any more classes; I finished all of my required classes so I can leave now.” I said. “Really? So did we but we have to stay until the busses pick us up.” Jordan said “Well, I could give you a ride home.” I offered. “Our Parent’s aren’t home yet and we don’t have a key into our house.” Jordan said. “Well, I guess you girls could hang at my house until your parents get home then I could drive you home.” I suggested “Sounds good to me, I’m in.” Dash said “This place is so boring.” She said “Ok, well anyone else?” I asked They all agreed. So we went to the office to sign out. “Where is your car at?” said the girl I haven’t met yet. “It’s closer to the back, I’m Caleb, by the way.” I said “Oh, I’m Ashley.” She said “Nice meeting you.” I said “Is your car fast?” Dash asked. “Well, it’s a Camaro so ya.” I said. “Awesome!” she said You might have to bunch up a little; it’s not exactly big enough for everyone.” I said “Shot gun!” Dash yelled. “Looks like you 5 will have to try to all fit in the back.” I said. “We’ll just sit in each other laps.” AJ said. “Anyone else wana drive?” I said jokingly, they all laughed. “Mind if I turn on the radio?” I asked “Turn up some music!” AJ yelled I turned up some country music and we pulled out of the school http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvyTY_oYR_c&feature=endscreen&NR=1 We drove on the high way until we got to my dirt road leading to my house. “Hey Dash?” I said “Ya?” she asked. “Is this fast enough?” I asked as I switched gears and floored it. “Yes!” she screamed as we tore down that dirt road. “Yehaw!” AJ yelled as we reached high speeds. I started to slow down as I saw my house approach. I was now at normal speeds slowing down as I stopped at my garage and waited for it to open. My dad came outside with hi white T-shirt, cowboy hat, and camo pants and waited for me to get out of the car. He couldn’t see in the car because the tinting was so dark but when he saw me and six hot girls get out of the car I thought he was going to fall over. I pictured him seeing it in slow motion as each girl came out one at a time. “Hey dad, I brought some friends home, we’ll be upstairs.” I said “Ok” was all he could say he was so shocked from all the pretty girls. The best part was when AJ walked up to him and said “I like your hat cowboy.” I thought he was going to fall over. I took the girls through the garage to the upstairs door so we could get to my floor. “Wow, is this all yours?” Ashley asked as she looked around the floor. “Yup, even the recording studio.” I said “Wow, you have a lot of guitars.” Rachel said. “Yup, there new but… for some reason, I feel closer to this old Johnson guitar then any of the nicer ones.” I said “Maybe you’ve been through a lot with that one.” Sierra said “Maybe.” I said “Was that your truck?” AJ asked. “Yes ma’am.” I said in that southern accent, they all laughed a little and I just blushed. “It’s so pretty.” She said “Thanks, I just got it.” I said. “Awsoem, I’d love to ride in it with you.” She said. “I’d love to let you ride it.” I said not thinking about how it sounded and quickly tried to fix what I said. “I mean in the truck, let you ride in the truck” I said. “Oh, okay.” She said with a grin, they all giggled again at my mistake. We hung out for several hours until it was time for me to take them home. “Ready to go girls?” I asked as I grabbed my camo cap and my keys to the truck. “Ya, same time tomorrow?” Jordan asked “You bet.” I said We all hoped in my truck and headed off to their house which took me some time to find. “See you girls tomorrow.” I said waving to them as they all got out the truck “Bye!” they all said and waved, then turned around to head inside their home. I finally hated to see them go, but I loved to watch them leave. I drove home that night thinking about how awesome my first day was. “Wow, this new life is pretty awesome.” I said as I drove into the dirt road and drove to my home to retire for the night.
