"Ninja Story"

By: Phillip McMillan

Ali: "Like, why must you watch that all of the time. It’s so totally brutal."

Jason turned his head to glance at her and flashed Alicia a smile. He than turned back to watching wrestling without saying a word. Alicia sighed then sat down beside him.

Ali: "Jason…"

Jason raised his eyebrow and moved his eyesight to her.

Ali: "Have you ever thought about and wondered if you have a soul mate out there somewhere?"

Jason: "I am sure that everybody has a right person for them to be with, tough part is, is that some people have to try harder than others to find that person… That’s if they find them at all."

Ali: "That’s sooo sad… Not ever being able to find your perfect somebody? Well at least I know I won’t end up like that."

Jason: "That’s great Ali."

Mike: "Did someone call for a perfect somebody?"

Jason continued to watch wrestling as Alicia answered.

Ali: "No, and why would you walk in?"

Mike: "As you know Ali, I am quite perfect."

Ali: "Umm… you so totally are not"

Mike: "Oh come on Ali, admit you like me."

Ali: "I would rather cut up my credit cards."

Alicia scoffed as she exited the room to distance herself from Mike. Mike than took her seat and started watching wrestling with Jason. Mike was a chubby guy with a big ego. With his short dyed red hair, he felt like all the women loved him cause they would always stare at him.

Mike: "Yo Jay, why do you think Alicia tries to hide her feelings for me?"

Jason laughed and responded.

Jason: "Probably the same reason why all the other girls hide them. They think you’re too good for them."

Mike: "Yeah well, they needn’t be scared of my handsome good looks."

Jason: "I know Mike, I know."

They continued to watch wrestling.

Mike: "What the hell?"

Ninja: "We have come to tell you a story."

Mike: "You had to crash through our 7 windows to tell us a freaking story?"

Ninja: "Yes"

Mike: "Oh… Okay."

Alicia ran into the room and stood beside Mike.

Ali: "What in the world is going on?"

Mike: "The ninjas came to tell us a story"

Ali: "Oh… okay then… What?"

Ninja: "Once upon a time, there were 7 ninjas. They decided to go out and team up to kill the group known as Tri-Angle."

Ali: "Hey, wait a second, that’s us"

Mike: "Shhh, it’s impolite to interrupt a ninja when he’s telling a story."

Ali sighed as the ninja continued his story.

Ninja: "So the ninjas found the secret lair of Tri-Angle and crashed through their windows. Now the story must be finished so you will die."

Mike: "Hmmm… your story was worse than watching Bloodwork."

Alicia giggled at the comment for she saw how horrible the movie Bloodwork was.

Ninja: "You dare insult a ninja?"

Mike: "Yes"

Ninja: "You will die"

Mike: "You were planning to kill us anyway"

Ninja: "Shut up you. Ninjas, attack!"

Jason: "Okay, that’s it!"

Jason got up off the couch, towered over the ninja and gave him one swift punch. Mike finished off the 5 ninjas, eventually throwing each one out their respectable windows. Alicia turned back into herself and started kicking the out cold head ninja lying on the floor. She turned to Mike with a gloating expression.

Ali: "I beat him up"

Mike: "Good job".

Mike picked up the ninja and threw him out the seventh window with ease.

Mike: "Well that was fun"

Ali: "They tried to kill us!"

Mike: "Yeah… but we’re Tri-Angle"

Ali: "Still! And Jason sat there practically the whole time."

Mike: "Calm down Ali, we’re fine, aren’t we?"

Ali: "Yeah… At least nothing happened to Jason"

Alicia sat down beside Jason and smiled at him. He looked over at her.

Jason: "What?"

Ali: "Oh my gawd…"

Alicia stomped out of the room in a fit. Jason looked to Mike.

Jason: "What’s her problem?"

Mike: "Chocolate makes her crazy"

Jason: "Oh, okay."

"A Moooving Situation"

By: Phillip McMillan

Ali: "What’s so interesting out there Jay?"

Jason: "Not too much, just a normal day."

Jason shrugged as Alicia took a look out the window herself. To her amazement, she saw the street filled with cows. She was petrified.

Ali: "Oh my gawd! Normal day? The streets are filled with hundreds of cows."

Jason: "More like thousands Ali"

Ali: "So you noticed and didn’t think it was weird?"

Jason: "I didn’t really think anything of it."

Mike: "Awanapolowano"

Alicia turned to Mike inquisitively

Ali: "Like what did you just say? Sorry but I couldn’t understand."

Mike: "Sorry, I was yawning, I meant to say Awanapolowano"

Mike peered out the window

Ali: "What are you on?"

Mike: "I seem to be on something… Cause I see cows out there."

Ali: "We see them too Mike"

Mike: "Whoa… did we all get plastered or something?"

Ali: "Um… no"

Mike: "So I’m not drunk?"

Ali: "No"

Mike: "Than maybe it’s national cow day?"

Ali: "National cow day?"

Mike: "Yes, NCD…"

Ali: "You made that up didn’t you?"

Mike: "Yeah, but it fits, does it not?"

Ali: "So what do we do about this Jason?"

Jason studied the street below him, took a sip of his Cherry Coke and smiled.

Ali: "Did you figure something out?"

Jason: "Naw, I just really like my Cherry Coke"

Mike: "Whoa Jay, you’re making me thirsty… Is there more of that in the fridge?"

Jason: "Yeah, go ahead and grab one Mike."

Mike: "Thanks"

Alicia stood there exasperated by Mike and Jason’s attitude toward the cow problem. Mike ran off to the Kitchen and came back with his own Cherry Coke. He opened it up and started to drink it with a smile.

Mike: "Hmmm, now that makes things a lot better."

Ali: "The cows are still there!"

Mike: "Yes, but I am quenching my thirst."

Ali: "Are we going to do anything about this problem at all?"

Jason cleared his throat than looked over to Mike.

Jason: "Maybe they are migrating."

Mike: "That’s probably it!"

Ali: "NO! Cows do not migrate; they live on farms in barns. They stand or sit around all day. They eat grass and get milked. They do not migrate."

Mike: "Now that’s a great life"

Ali: "What?"

Jason: "I hear that grass is good for you."

Ali: "Stop it! We have to deal with this problem guys."

Jason: "Why is this such a big deal to you?"

Ali: "Okay… Look out there! That’s not normal! There’s thousands of cows out there."

Mike runs over to the phone and dials a number.

Mike: "Yes, Pest control? Okay… Yeah, I think we have an infestation problem… Yeah? No… Not roaches… Not ants… Termites? I sure hope not… Oh, well… cows! Hello? Hello?"

Mike tapped the phone but still nothing.

Mike: "I think I got disconnected"

Ali: "Stay away from me!"

Mike: "I’m just trying to comfort you in your time of need."

Ali: "You know what I need?"

Mike: "A good therapist?"

Ali: "No! I need some relief. I’m getting a head ache."

Mike darted up to his feet and ran to the bathroom. He came back out with two bottles. He showed them to her.

Mike: "Tums or Flinstones Vitamins?"

Ali: "Mike, those don’t help head aches."

Mike: "You’re kidding me!"

Ali: "No, one is for heartburn and the other is to get your daily requirement of essential vitamins for the day."

Mike: "Oh, I guess that’s why they never got rid of my head aches… Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?"

Ali: "We have a cow problem Mike!"

Mike: "Yeah but we didn’t have a cow problem yesterday, why not tell me then?"

Ali: "Okay, shut up! I’ve had it!"

Jason: "She needs to relax"

Mike: "Must be that time of the month"

Jason: "Oh, it probably is."

Jason grabbed the remote and turned the TV on to wrestling.

Jason: "Wrestling"

Mike: "Sweet… So what are we going to do about the cows outside?"

Jason: "They’re just cows Mike, I’m sure the city will handle it. They can’t depend on us for everything. We help them with this and what next time? They have another cow infestation problem and we aren’t here? What will they do? They need to learn how to handle these cow problems."

Mike: "Oh, Okay"
