Boys Night Out
by KD Rose
Shannon, you there?
Just finishing dinner, why?
Had a favor to ask.
k
I know you have a way, I mean me and the guys we know
that I have a way to get beer? Is that what you're trying to spit out and doing a horrible job at?
Yeah
I'll be out in a min. I've been commanded text silence for the rest of dinner so back at you soon.
k
Tony are you there?
Tony are you there? It says you're online.
I got your note saying you were skipping dinner and your father and I are not happy.
You didn't say what time you'd be back.
Well when you get this, you get your butt home. We have some things to discuss. Love you.
Tony - you find out yet?
Yeah, we're waiting.
In a minute. She has to finish dinner with her parents first.
Great. Our whole night depends on that geek Shannon.
Leave her alone. She already said she'd help.
I'll be out by my house when u come by.
k
Me 2
I'll be by the supermart.
Okay. But don't be mean to Shannon, Jon. She could always change her mind.
Yeah yeah.
Hey Tony.
Got away?
Yep and got you guys a six-pack. Didn't have enough money for twelve.
Crap. Okay. Pay u back Monday.
Isn't it a nice night!
I don't know. Why?
Well it's a blood moon for one thing. Don't you think that's kinda cool?
Yeah, I guess.
Not one for the poetic I see.
Are you planning to come along once we get the beer?
Oh, don't be blunt or anything.
Sorry. It's just it was gonna be a guys night out.
Getting into all kinds of trouble. I get it. Sure, I'll scram.
Thanks Shannon. Owe you one.

Weird. Yeah, sure. Whatever.

Thx
Mike-on my way. Picking up at house before yours & will meet you.
Okay.
Must've missed her. Doubling back to Jose's.
Got it.
Got the six-pack. Sorry couldn't make it twelve.
Bummer.
Mike where are you? I'm standing at your yard.
Mike?
Mike, man don't waste time. I'm standing here with the beer. Someone could see!
Jose? Is Mike with you? I can't find him.
Nope, but Jon just showed up.
I don't know what happened to Mike but more beer for us. I'm gone.
Maybe he went off with Shannon. LOL
Man next time one of U are getting the beer. I'm almost at your street.
It's weird.
What?
I just looked behind me and I couldn't see anything. Like it was all dark.
It's night-time you idiot.
Duh. I mean it was like nothing was there. Just dark & black.
Scared of the dark now?
Maybe he started drinking without us.
Ha ha. Hey, I'm there in one minute.
Not soon enough. Thirsty!
1209. Okay where are you guys?
Jose?
Jesus. What now. Jon?
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?
Hello???
I'm standing here with a
Holy crap. Jose? Jon? The sixpack just disappeared from my hand. Are you there?
Hello? Anyone? Mike?
I just looked behind me! Half the houses are missing! Help! Anyone?
Jose? Are you guys playing a trick on me?
MY LEFT SHOE IS GONE!
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS????
I'm wearing just a sock on one foot!
THE HOUSES I'VE WALKED PAST DISAPPEARED!
Help!!
Honey, are you going to be home soon?
MOM? I mean, mom? I'm a little lost right now. I do wanna come home.
Aww you're such a good boy.
I just um I'm not sure if our street is gonna be there
We're right here honey, like always.
I DONT WANT TO ACCIDENTALLY MAKE YOU DISAPPEAR!
Sweetie, I suggest if you don't want another one of your friends to disappear that you consider answering me next time.
Whaaaaa???
How much of the neighborhood is missing?
Um what?
Sweetie, don't worry about it. Just walk straight ahead like you always do towards your house.
Mom? What's happening?
Your father's a Warlock, dear.
Whaaaaaaa?????
It's one of the things that attracted me to him. Just take a step. One foot in front of the other.
I'm putting one foot in front of the other... Okay, I'm walking. I think.
Good, dear. Do you have both your shoes?
Um..
It's okay sweetie, Your dad came dragging home with one shoe and one sock at your age too.
He did?
We'll have "the talk" when you get home honey.
Somehow I think this talk isn't "the talk" that people usually refer to.
Not everyone... See you soon sweetie.
Little rattled there Tony? I see you over the hill.
You're still here?! Where are you?
In my house silly. Things been disappearing on you? LOL
You KNOW about this?
Holy Croup.
Damn autocorrect!
Holy Soup.
Aghh. HOLY CRAP. There.
Is everyone in on this?
Oh no! None of your buddies. Plus it's a very secret thing.
My parents had "the talk" with me last year.
My dad's a Warlock too. I thought you knew. Then, well the rest was just too funny not to watch.
Real funny.
They meet monthly for beer and poker, Warlock style.
What is that?
It's like Strip poker but with reality. They start with their clothes and go from there.
I'm not supposed to know but my dad forgot once and came home without one of his fingers.
Mom zapped it back fast, but not before I saw. Don't worry. Everything returns to normal.
I can't believe this! My own parents!
Oh, don't poot.
Agh! Peet.
Darn autocorrect. Don't pasta!
No!!! Don't Pout.
Finally!
Apparently even aspiring brethen and sisteren can't overcome the great autocorrect plague.
Heh Good to know.
Yeah. Welcome to the world of #geekdom.
I bow to the Queen.
See ya Monday. With both shoes. LOL
