Not the Summer I asked for...
11 years ago...
It was a normal day for many, it was a sunny day, birds could be heard chirping, children playing. The entire town of Elk Grove was filled with laughter and joy. The town was peaceful and everyone was filled with joy.....except one child wasn't.
"Andrew please don't leave me! Who is going to play with me when your gone?" A young child asked to his brother.
"Hey, look at me... come on look at me. Its going to be fine, you always got Thomas to play with you." Andrew replied.
"Its not the same!" The younger brother replied with a shout, while tears fell from his cheek.
"Hey come on, I promise that I'll come back in one piece and we can hang out again." Andrew replied with a small smile.
"You Yo- You promise?" The boy asked with a sniffle.
"Yeah man, you know I keep all my promises." Andrew replied.
But Andrew knew that this was one promise he couldn't keep.
"Come here why don't you give me one last hug." Andrew asked.
They hugged for what it seems to be forever.
*HONK
"Hey, I have to go now..." Andrew told his brother with a tear running down his face, "I'll see you soon alright?'
The boy nodded and watch his brother get his things and walk to the car.
As his brother got inside the car, the boy waved goodbye and took one last good look at his brother and went back inside his house.
But, what the boy didn't know was that, this moment would be last time with his brother.
6 months later....
On a Saturday morning the boy's Family received a letter saying that his brother was shot and killed during a raid in Iraq.
This devastated him, and now he was all alone.
He and Andrew were very close, they never fought, they loved each other, and they hung out with each other.
The boy was a very happy and lovable kid but after losing Andrew... he secluded himself from his best friend and family.
He went in deep thinking, so many things consumed his mind. He lost something that he never thought he would lose.
This boy's name was Day and this is his story.
Present Day
Day's Pov
School, a child's most hated place to go to. But not on Fridays!
"So class since today is the start of summer vacation, the school board has decided to cut the next two and a half hours of school." Our teacher Mr. King announced.
"Wait WHAT?!?!?" The entire class shouted with confusion.
"Well class, remember the finals we took?" Mr.K asked
"Yeah, why?" The students replied one by one.
"Well you see me and twenty other teachers, had a meeting with the principal. We told him that if all of our classes passed with a 90% or higher, he will cut the last two hours of schools." Mr. K announce.
"Wait so we all passed?" A girl asked.
"Well not everyone" As Mr. K said that he turned to my best buddy Thomas.
Thomas waved and slammed his face on his desk.
"Okay class, feel free to do anything for the last twenty minutes of class." Mr. K announced.
Thomas turned to me and said," Why does this asshole always have to put me on the spot."
"Well cause, you are a dumb ass." I replied.
"Ah fuck you." Thomas replied with a annoyed face.
"You know I'm right." I teased.
*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
What a way to end the last day of school. I guess I should tell you what school Me and Thomas are attending. Me and Thomas are currently attending a Wildlife Biology Class in L.A. We are currently moving into our senior year.
Me and Thomas have been buddies since the start. We did everything together, went to the same schools, played the same sports, we are basically like brothers. I'm the oldest of us two, I'm 24 and Thomas is 23. I'm the mature one between the both of us.
What a life huh?
How bout, I give you a proper introduction instead?
My name is Day Mitchells. I am currently 22 years old and live in California. I was born in San Diego but moved to Los Angeles to follow my studies. My parents are currently still married and I love them to death. I've lived with them until I turned 19 and they helped me buy a house of my own in L.A. The house is a nice 2 story house, nothing to fancy or ugly, it just right.
How do I describe myself? Um lets see. I am of Filipino and Puerto Rican descent. I'm pretty good looking. I am 6'2 and I have a toned body, Black hair, brown eyes, and I don't have any facial hair.
Now I guess you want me to explain more about Thomas.
Well Thomas's full name is Thomas Bennett, I don't remember what race he was. He's good looking I guess. He is and inch shorter than me. He has the same body type as me. He has light brown hair, and brown eyes and no facial hair.
The one thing that bothers me the most about his personality the most is that he does the craziest and dumbest shit. For example one time he got super drunk and went in the middle of a busy intersection and stripped nude and did some weird ass dances. Sure enough he got arrested and I had to bail his dumb ass out.
He has two brothers and a sister who is 2 years older than him.
Like I said early, were like brothers.
Anyways, summer vacation is going to be super fun. I get to hang out with my best friend the entire time, what else could I ask for?
I was supposed to go back to San Diego but, my parents had left to go to New York for vacation.
And Thomas's parents went to Florida to visit his sister for a 5 weeks.
So me and him are stuck with each other.
But I'm the only one with a job for now. Thomas got fired from our local pizzeria, because he threatened a customer, saying that he would shove a sideways pizzas up his ass. Oh that was a hilarious sight. But for me I work as a Landscaper, its hard work but it pays good. So I'm the only who has enough money to supply our needs.
We stop by a local grocery store and bought some groceries (Milk, Water, Gatorade, Chips, Etc.).
We went to my house and put all the groceries away and changed into some other clothes to so we can play ball.
But there was one thing I wasn't expecting. Unexpected Visitors.
"Alright PUSSIES, who wants to get fucked up!" Thomas announces as we got to the basketball courts.
All I thought was does this idiot ever shut up.
Our first game we did a 5 v 5 me and Thomas were on the same team. We had 2 guys that look like they were around 41-44 years old and one guy that was 30. The other team were all young, maybe they were all around 16-18 years old. I already knew who was going to win. We played to 20 points.
We lost the score was 14 - 20.
Me and Thomas both scored 7 points, while our teammates didn't do shit. The 30 year old on our team got 3 rebounds and that's it. The two old guys couldn't catch up, I can't blame them.
"Alright we got this." Thomas said with confidence.
"Whatever you say" I said with a sarcastic tone.
"What do you mean?" Thomas asked with a annoyed tone.
"You did get crossed 10 times and that one kid broke your ankles and don't get me started with you missing those 5 layups." I replied.
"WHAT?! You got crossed too!" Thomas Shouted
"Yeah once. Not as bad as you getting crossed 10 times." I replied
"Yeah, OKAY FUCK YOU TOO BUDDY!" Thomas shouted again.
"Love you too." I replied mockingly.
We played one more game. But this time the teams were even.
But in this game I wanted a little fun with Thomas. So instead of passing to him when he is open, I pass the ball to one of my teammates in the paint.
Each time I did it , I would get a response from Thomas like, " WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, I'M FUCKING OPEN" or "THIS MOTHERFUCKER" oh and my favorite,"DAY IF YOU DON'T PASS ME THE FUCKING BALL I'LL SHOVE A PINK DILDO UP YOUR ASS."
I did it a couple more times, until the game ended.
Thomas walked up to me and shouted,"WHAT IN THE FUCK, WERE YOU DOING?!?!?!?"
"What I couldn't have a little fun?" I replied while laughing
He then hits me in the back of the head.
"Ow!" I shouted, " What the hell was that for?"
"Payback BITCH!" HE shouted in my face.
"Okay, okay, I guess you have the right to hit me." I replied
"Next time I'm shoving a banana up your ass if you do that again!" He shouted.
"Alright, Alright." I replied while laughing.
Thomas was already cooling down. But all I hear is laughter from the other guys around us. Hey If I saw a sight like that I would burst out laughing too.
"I think we should start heading home now, its getting dark." I asked
"Okay. I think I saw on the news this morning that there should be storm coming soon." Thomas replied.
"WHAT?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" I asked
"I thought you already knew about it?" Thomas replied.
"That doesn't matter now. Lets just go home, I don't want to be outside when the storm hits." I replied.
"Alright lets go pussy." Thomas replied jokingly.
I dropped off Thomas at his house. Then went home.
As I started to leave Thomas's house, it started raining. As I kept driving more rain kept pouring, so as I was driving, my windshield was hard to see through. Thank God I live close to Thomas.
I got to my house and opened the garage door. I parked the car inside and closed the garage and walked inside.
I took my shoes off, and went to the living room. I sat on the couch and started watching T.V.
I started watching this show on Netflix called Narcos. So far I like it, its about Pablo Escobar, the drug lord fromm Colombia.
My stomach growled, but I didn't feel like cooking so I just got a hot pocket and put it in the microwave. I grabbed a water bottle from the fridge and turned off the T.V.
I waited until my hot pocket was finished cooking, and walked upstairs.
I went to my room and sat on my bed and munched on my hot pocket. As I was eating and watching T.V., I heard thunder, and the first thing that popped in my mind was OH SHIT.
I was never a big fan of thunder so, I have to admit I was scared. I finished my hot pocket and walked to my bathroom so I can brush my teeth.
While I was brushing I heard a faint scream then a crash.
I stopped brushing and I was scared and then I heard another scream.
Then another scream and in total I heard ten different screams.
The screams sounded all female, and they all came from behind my house.
First thing that popped up in my mind was that my neighbor was getting raped or murdered.
If what I thought was true, then that bitch dead. I ain't Prince Charming, bitch probably let some physco in. I ain't risking my life for that girl, she probably dead by now. Bitch probably tripped over her rug, that's probably how she got caught because girls always trip in horror movies.
But I heard something that change my mind. I heard for a cry for help coming from my backyard. I was scared and I didn't want to go outside so I grabbed my phone, but you know what it died.
So I had to man up and go out side. I grabbed a jacket and flashlight before walking downstairs. You do not know how FUCKING scared I was. Before I walked outside I grabbed a frying pan and a knife. I put the knife in my pants for backup.
I turned the flashlight on and opened my backyard door it was dark and raining so it was hard to see.
I started to look for anything wrong, after a few minutes of searching I found nothing, I walked towards the door but I stopped in my tracks when I heard a feminine voice.
"Hello? Whose there? Anypony?" a female voice with an English accent asked.
"Please Anypony? We need help." the female voice asked again.
Wait there are more?
"Hello miss? Where are you?" I shouted.
"I have no idea. Its to dark I can't see a thing." the voice replied.
"Wait hold on I think I know where you are." I shouted.
I started walking where I last heard the voice.
Eventually I saw a boot.
"Hello miss?" I asked.
No response.
I walked closer to the boot and saw that there was a semi-unconscious girl laying by a tree.
What in the fuck?
Fuck. Am I going to get framed for kidnapping and rape?
The girl looked at me frightened.
I couldn't really see the girl because of the rain.
"Hey, look I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to help." I said in a very calm voice.
"P-P-P-Please don't h-h-hurt us" she pleaded.
"No its alright, I'm here to help. Everything will be alright." I said in a calm voice.
"Where a-a-am I and Wh-h-hat are you?" She asked
"Well, you are in my backyard... where my shed used to be..." I replied
God what kind of drugs have you been taking?
"Miss, I think we should continue our conversation in my house." I asked "Then I could tell you everything. Is that fine with you?"
"I do-o-n't kn-n-n-ow, if I c-c-can tru-u-ust you." she replied.
"Its okay, you can trust me on this." I replied.
I handed her the frying pan, I had. "Here if you feel threatened you can smack the shit out of me. If that is fine with you?"
She nodded.
"Please get the others first. I'm fine right now, but they are unconscious." she replied.
"Um miss, how many others are with you." i asked politely and calmly.
"Um.. L-l-let's s-see I think ther-r-r-e is s-seven of us." She replied
"Alrighty then ." I replied.
"Can you stand?" I asked.
"Ye-e-e-e-s I think I ca-a-a-n." she replied.
She tried to stand but, to only fall.
"I-I am still weak." she said.
"Don't worry I can carry you inside." I replied.
"No. No. Im fin-n-n-e help the others first they are unconscious." she said
"Okay. Here this should keep you warm for now." I told her as I handed her my jacket.
"Thank you, the others should be around me, somewhere." she said.
I shined my light around her, until I saw all girls laying next to each other.
But the strangest thing was the clothing they wore was very strange and their hair was even crazier.
I just quickly ignored the hair and clothing and put two girls on my shoulders and ran as fast as I could, I got inside and laid the girls on the couch.
I ran back outside and grabbed the others.
I managed to carry all the girls and bring them inside, without falling.
I ran back outside to pick up the last girl which was the one with my jacket. As I picked her up she made a small yip and smacked me with the frying the pan.
Damn I forgot she had that.
"OW! What the Hell!" I screamed in pain.
"Sorry, I felt scared, because you didn't tell me what you were doing." she replied.
"That's okay." I replied while rubbing the side of my face. Damn she hits hard.
I quickly ran inside and placed her on the couch.
I couldn't fit everyone on the couch so I laid some of them on the floor.
I quickly went upstairs and grabbed 7 blankets and pillows. They must be freezing, I thought while grabbing the pillows.
I ran downstairs to see the girl that I gave my jacket too, was looking at her hands and feet. She was just looking at them.
I shrugged it off and gave her a pillow and blanket. And went to cover the other girls with a blanket.
I put pillow under each girl's head. God, I wonder what the hell happened to them?
I went to the A.C and turned the heater on.
While I was turning the heater on, I looked at the girl and saw that she was trembling in fear.
I walked over to her and sat on the couch next to her.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
"What am I-I-I and where am I? she asked. While looking at her hands and feet.
"Uh, we'll you are human." I replied.
I don't know what happened to her but, I already know she had been through hell. For fuck sake she doesn't even know what or she is!
"What is-s-s a whoomun?" she asked.
I explained what a human is and she was puzzled. So I gave her a mirror and her jaw dropped at the sight of her.
"I-I-s-s that m-m-m-me?" she asked with a horrified expression.
She began to cry. I don't know why she started to cry.
"Hey it's okay." I said.
"Hey why don't you give me a proper introduction?" I asked politely
"O-okay." she replied with a sniffle.
"So, what is you name?' I asked.
"My n-name is R-rarity." she replied.
"Just Rarity?" I asked.
"Y-yes." she replied.
"I like that name" I replied with a smile.
Her cheeks began to turn pink. "Uh. Thank you." she replied with a smile.
"So who are you they." I asked while pointing to the other girls
"Well those 7 are my friends." She replied.
"Wait so how old are you and your friends?" I asked
"We are around the early 20s, except for her." She replied while pointing at the girl whose hair had purple in and pink and wore what it almost seems like a private school outfit," I'm second oldest out of us I'm 22."
She then began giving me the names of her friends and their ages. Apple Jack (23), Rainbow Dash (20), FlutterShy (20), Sunset Shimmer (20), Pinkie Pie (19) and Twilight (19).
"Oh..okay." I replied
"Um... can I ask you a question?" she asked.
"Sure." I replied.
"How old are you and what's your name?" Rarity asked.
"Day Mitchells and I'm 23." I replied
"Oh Day? That's a nice name." She replied.
"Thanks." I replied with a smile.
Then I take notice of Rarity's beauty. I give her a give long look, analyzing her. She has a mixture dark and light color of purple as her hair color. She has a big curl in the front of her hair and the rest of hair are small curls. She has a pin that has three diamonds on it. She has a light blue shirt on and a purple dress with three diamonds at the bottom of her dress. She is wearing some long purple boots.
"In what part of Esquestria are we in?" she asked.
"Equestria?" I asked "Never heard of it."
"Equestria is the name of my home. We live on the planet Equus" She replied
"Well we aren't part of "Equestria" or the planet "Equus". I replied with a confuse look.
"WHAT?" She replied "Oh Dear."
*Silence
"So where am I?" she asked.
"Well, Rarity you are on the planet Earth and we are currently in California." I replied
"Uh...okay." she replied but with a confuse stare.
"Yeah, I'll explain everything tomorrow, when you and your friends are awake." I said.
"Okay." she replied.
*Silence
"Thank you for saving us." Rarity replied.
"No problem, you guys should be safe here." I replied.
She looked at me, as if she was analyzing me, then smiled.
She yawns.
"Looks like some is sleepy." I said.
"I guess.....*yawing...... I am." she replied.
"If you need anything I'll be upstairs 2nd door to the right." I replied.
"Thank you for everything." She replied.
"No problem. I couldn't let you guys just freeze to death." I replied.
"I guess no. Thank you Day." Rarity replied
"Your welcome." I replied.
Rarity laid down on the couch and began to dose off. I look at Rarity once last time and walked towards my room. I took my shirt off and change into some basketball shorts.
I laid in my bed and asked my self what the hell were in those hot pockets?
I have no goddamn clue and dozed off.
