Todd Chavez yawned. Today was going to be another one of his busy yet hopefully productive days. He had been very busy for a long while helping with Mr. Peanutbutter's Governor of California campaign and helping with Princess Carlyon's clients. Though he was grateful that for working and proving his worth, he was getting quite tired and he felt like he was in a need of a vacation.

After clearing Mr. Peanutbutter's and Diane's breakfast, the mailman came with the mail. After sorting it, he discovered that he had a letter for himself. He opened it and read it. It was from his best friend Emily. It said that she had opened a new business with some of the money she made from their former company Cabracadabra. There was an invitation for her presentation at a Battery Hotel in Ohio.

Then he got a call from Princess Carlyon. "Hello?"

"Todd, I need you to get me some beer for tonight."

"Beer? Great!" Todd cried happily. "What are we celebrating?"

"They're not for us," Princess Carlyon. "They're for Sean Bean."

"Who?" Todd asked. "That famous funny clumsy TV star from England?"

"No, not Mr. Bean played by Rowan Atkinson," Princess Carlyon sighed. "Sean Bean."

"You mean that other clumsy TV star that went to star in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera?"

"What? What are you talking about? That's Michael Crawford! How is there any connection between – " Princess Carlyon sighed. "Look, Sean Bean is an English actor who was in Game of Thrones, Flightplan, The Martian, that James Bond film Goldeneye and Lord of the Rings.

"Oh, yeah, I finally remember him now," Todd said. "He was Gimli the dwarf. Or was it Tyrion Lannister?"

Princess Carlyon sighed again. "Anyway, he wants to drink English beer for tonight's World Cup match. Just find what you can."

Todd went to the nearest supermarket and found a whole crate of English beer. It cost him all the money he had left. He hoped Princess Carlyon would pay him enough for a plane ticket to Ohio for this job.

Then as he crossed the road he saw a sunflower oil truck approaching him fast. He was too scared to move but he held onto dear life onto the crate of beer. Luckily, the truck stopped.

The driver, a bald eagle, popped his head out of the window. "What are you doing standing in the middle like that, you idiot?"

"Uh, I was just, eh – " Todd didn't have a clue. "I'm in a hurry."

"Is that English beer?" the driver asked.

"Yeah," Todd said.

"If you give me that beer, I'll give you a ride to wherever it is you're going to in a hurry."

Todd tried to remember where he was supposed to be. "I remember now. Ohio."

"That's my destination," the driver cried happily. "Climb aboard."

Todd gleefully did.


It was a long 33 mile drive to Ohio, but Todd enjoyed it. He kept asking the driver a lot of questions like what his favourite meal was, what his idea of the meaning of life was and when he lost his virginity. Halfway, they pulled off for the night and they both slept like a couple of logs. They arrived at Ohio at seven o'clock at night. Todd paid the driver with the crate of English beer and he went off to find this hotel Emily was at. He had forgotten what it was called so he searched his bag for his invitation, only to find out that he didn't have his bag with him, which meant he didn't have the invitation with him so he couldn't get into the hotel even if he could remember which one it was. Then he remembered he hadn't even got any money because he was suppose to be give that beer that he spent his last cents on for Sean Bean last night that he gave to the truck driver. Therefore, he had travelled all the way to Ohio for nothing. Never feeling so stupid in his life, he groaned and fainted.


Todd finally woke up. He didn't know how long he was asleep or passed out for, but he felt fresh as a daisy. He saw that he was on a beach. He didn't know what he was doing on a beach. He couldn't even remember why he came to Ohio.

As he explored the beach to gather his thoughts, something in the sea caught his attention. He thought he could see something floating in the sea. He went closer and saw it wasn't something, it was somebody. And that somebody wearing a strapless blue swimsuit looked like she was drowned. He couldn't see a lifeguard nearby. He took off his yellow beanie, his red hoodie and his white shirt off and dived into the sea. He swam to the lady, grabbed her and brought her to the beach. He turned her around and saw she was a young lady deer.

Todd opened her mouth and started to perform CRP on her. Then she finally gasped and stood up. She appeared to be confused at where she was. She gasped when she looked at Todd and backed away nervously. "Who are you?"

"You were unconscious in the sea, so I brought you out from it and performed CRP on you," Todd said. Then he quickly received an unexpected hug from the deer.

"Thank you very much for saving my life," the deer said. "I'm Penny Carson, by the way."

"Name's Todd," Todd said. "So how did you get into your moonlight swim?"

Penny told him her story. One of her friends borrowed his dad's yacht and he hosted a party for their friends to take their minds off the upcoming final exams. There was a lot of loud music, dancing and drinking. Penny was not a big drinker, but she felt that she had to drink so she didn't feel like an odd one out. She drank more than she realized and she started to throw up. She couldn't remember it probably but she thought she might flip over on the boat and fell into the sea. She thought she was in bed when she was floating in the sea. She might have thought it was too hot and that was why she took her green dress off and was now only in her swimsuit.

"It's very lucky you came here, Todd," Penny said. "Do you live here?"

"No, I come from L.A.," Todd said. "I don't really have a home or a purpose in life. What about you?"

"I'm a college student," Penny said "My final exams are in four weeks and I really hope I get my degree."

"I'm sure you'll do great," Todd said. "You're a better academic student than I ever was or ever will be. Well, now that you're okay, I'll get out of your… fur so you can focus again. Take care, Penny." He started to walk away.

"Todd?" Penny called.

Todd stopped and turned around.

"Could you walk with me back to my college room?" she asked. "If you're not too busy."

"No problem," he said decisively.
