Blazin Lights: (Episode 1) The Origin

Today was my sixteenth birthday, and I was in school at that day. I finished up the Friendship Club meeting with my best friends. It was like one of the best days for me and Jane. We walked to my house around three thirty in the afternoon. When we got there, I didn’t expect this.

“Surprise,” my parents had yelled out.

I caught a glance of fifty whiskey bottles at the table.

So I said, “Wait a second. I’m not old enough to...”

“You’re old enough to drink whiskey. The law is no longer twenty-one. It’s now sixteen,” Jeff explained.

“It’s your first whiskey party. Can you believe it? I got the day off from work,” Samantha said with excitement.

“We invited some of our friends over, including your best friends.”

“Hey there handsome,” said Emily.

“What’s up my man,” Danny gave me a high-five after he said his sentence.

“You’re not seriously going to drink all of that, right,” Jane asked me with concern.

“Oh heck no. There’s no way that I would do that for sure,” I said in a serious manner.

“No?!” Robert said with shock, then he said, “You should drink all of it! Why not?!”

“Don’t encourage him to do that, Robert,” Laura said to him angrily.

“Oh shut up,” he responded.

Jane had yelled out, “Hey! What did we learn about the Elements of Harmony?!”

The whole room was silent for a few seconds.

“Sorry Silverstream,” he apologized.

She had to make him be quiet.

“Thank you. Now please go apologize to her and Lewis,” she wanted to have an apology.

After he apologized to me and her, we started the party. I heard the needle drop to one of my favorite artists. My friends have never heard of that kind of music, because they were more interested in dubstep. It seemed like a great opportunity for them to discover something new. A few of the others danced in the living room, while we talked to other people.

I opened the first bottle of whiskey, and everyone in the room had to watch me prepare the first shot. Jane got concerned about me doing all of this. So she had to step forward to say her word.

“Please Lewis. You don’t have to do this. I’m awfully concerned about your brain cells. It’s mainly that your brain hasn’t fully developed yet. You really have to think about the amount of alcohol that you’re about to drink.”

I had to think about what’s going to happen if I drink too much whiskey, so I responded, “You’re right. Drinking does take responsibility.”

She smiled and gave me a hug, then she said, “I knew that you would understand my points. See? You always listen to the hippogriff. I mean girls,” she had to correct herself afterwards.

“Hippogriff? What’s a hippogriff,” I asked after they kept saying weird things.

“We’ll talk about it later.”

Nine hours later, the party was over. All of the people who attended my party had left. Jane couldn’t even believe that I drank seventeen bottles of whiskey without a problem. My friends had gotten themselves drunk, all because of not drinking responsibly. It was one of the best days I’ve ever had.

I planned a sleepover on the night after my birthday. It was part two of my birthday celebration. We watched a basketball tournament while we munched on cheese pizza. Our home team had won eighty-seven to sixty-four. It was ten minutes after eleven, and it was time for all of us to go to sleep.

There was a problem with Jane. She forgot to bring her sleeping bag. There wasn’t an air mattress or anything. The only way for her to sleep was in my bed. I was fast asleep when she knocked on the door.

“Come in,” I had to let her know it was alright to go in.

She opened the door and asked, “Is it alright if I can sleep in your bed? Just for tonight?”

“Sure,” I said with a smile.

“I got something for you.”

She pulled out six plush toys out of her backpack. There were: two land, one alicorn, one unicorn, and two pegasus ponies. They looked like the Elements of Harmony. I saw the pink pony, and jumped out of my bed in terror. She got confused about why I got scared.

“What’s wrong Lewis,” Jane asked.

“She... she scares me,” I said in fear.

“Why does she scare you?”

I explained the truth I knew, “She destroyed the blue pegasus pony for no reason.”

“Where did you hear all of that,” she asked, because she knew something wasn’t right.

“On the internet.”

“That’s not real Lewis. I read it too, and there’s no way she would do that. She cares about her family and friends. Trust me. She would make you smile,” Jane had to say her input.

It took me a moment to realize that reading negative stuff wasn’t worth the time.

“I shouldn’t trust the internet. The only way to hear real stuff is by the ear.”

Jane blushed, “You’re understanding about what we say to you. Isn’t that great? You’re on your way to become...”

“A better person,” we said to each other.

I gave her a hug after I listened to her advice.

“After all of these conversations we have, I feel like we’re in love,” I said to her.

She smiled and said, “Me too.”

I blushed, then I said these four and shocking words, “I love you Jane.”

“Love you too Lewis,” she responded.

We played with our plush toys for a little bit. I looked at the time and realized it was already midnight. We gave ourselves a nice kiss and went to sleep.
