“Well, I think we should just tell them that they don’t scare us and they don’t have a chance in hell in breaking us up, so give it up.”
“Add a ‘get your own life’ in there too!”
“Shut up!” I chuckled.
“And a ‘you better check yourself, before you wreck yourself’,” she jested.
“How about we close with a ‘your mama’s so fat’?”
“Yes, classic. Classic.”
“Are we done?” I asked.
“Yes, we’re in too playful a mood to do this.”
“Alright, let’s watch the film and annoy everyone by reciting every line,” I said. “You’re Wesley and I’ll be Princess Buttercup.”
“Such an awesome name,” she said.
“It’s so funny that they had a somewhat normal name coupled with such a cutesy one.”
“What are you talking about?” She said. “He’s The Dread Pirate Roberts!”
“Ohhhh, that’s right. They’re doomed. They’re kids are going to be named something stupid like Princesses Alstroemeria and Delphinium.”
“What is wrong with you?” She laughed. “How do you even know the names of those flowers? That’s it. I forbid your reading to reach such subjects that allow me to immediately ask for your man card. Your reading shall be limited to the sciences, mysteries, really anything manly, and that is all.”
We laughed pretty hard.
“Shhhh!” Everyone said in unison.
That sent us into a frenzy and we had to flee the theater in fear we’d be flogged. We ran and sat at the top of the stairs trying to catch our breath from our stupid banter. I grabbed Jules’ hand but that didn’t help. The current was only soothing if we were anxious, scared, or sad. If we were already happy it just magnified the feeling.
We started laughing so loudly we decided to hide out in the kitchen. We realized that memaw Joan E was in there cooking up a storm so we found a retreat inside Isabel’s and Rocky’s garage.
“Wow!” I shouted. “Look at all these cars!”
“Nice huh?”
“Uh, yup.”
More laughing.
“That wasn’t even funny,” I could barely speak.
“I know. You’re so much fun and for no reason at all.” She became serious, “That’s one of the things I love about you.”
She leaned in for a kiss and this time I gave it to her.
“I think we’re going to love Philadelphia,” I said.
“Dude, I think so too. It is such a fun city. The music Elliott! The music! That’s the best part! Imagine all the live music! Mwua ha ha ha ha!” She dribbled her fingers together.
“Mwua ha ha ha ha!” I joined in with her.
That’s when Jules’ dad entered the garage to check on us and caught us acting like fools. We burst out into laughter again.
“You kids,” he tossed up his hands.
