A Monstars Thanksgiving!
Chapter 1:
It was a chilly autumn Wednesday afternoon on the month of November and the Monstars were in the gym where it was nice and warm. Pound and Blanko were playing some basketball, Nawt was running on the treadmill, Bang was lifting some weights, and Bupkus was on a stationary bike. It was just an ordinary day at the gym until, Pound called out his crew. "Team meeting!" When the four Monstars heard his call, they walked to bleachers and sat down. "Alright everybody! It's the day before Thanksgiving so we're heading to the store to buy a lot of great things to eat." Pound told his team. "Awesome! I love me some turkey!" Bupkus said with a satisfied smile rubbing his belly.
"Me too dude! I can already taste those meals right now."Blanko agreed.
"Pumpkin pie here I come!" exclaimed Nawt.
"Don't forget the cranberry sauce." Bang reminded.
Pound smiled to see all of his friends excited for the big day. "Nice to see you boys excited. Now let's head to store, I already got the turkey yesterday so we don't have to worry about them being sold out." The boys put on their coats, hats and headed outside. After Pound locks the gym doors shut, the five Monstars went into their car and drove to the store.
The gang arrived at the shopping center parking lot and went into the grocery store. The gang gathered lots of goodies in the cart such as mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, bread rolls, corn, yams, and a lot more until their cart was nearly full. Pound maneuvered the shopping cart towards the meat section, their final destination while the rest of the team followed him. Pound reached for the honey-baked ham when suddenly, Pound's hand bumped into someone's tan brown hand. Him and the stranger apologized to each other, "I'm sorry." When Pound looked at the stranger, he was mesmerized. The stranger was just a beautiful tan-skinned lady with long black hair, and brown eyes. She was wearing a pink sweater, long blue jeans, red sneakers, and emerald earrings. The two of them gazed into each other's eyes and smiled. Both of them said "hello" to each other and introduced themselves.
"Hi. My name is Pound." He said.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Gretchen, Gretchen Deville." She said.
"You have a cute name. I like it." Pound said in a deep,attractive voice.
Gretchen smiled and blushed at Pound's compliment, "Aww why thank you. You're so sweet."
The two of them shook hands until Gretchen noticed the four Monstars were smiling at her. "Those guys' friends of yours?" Gretchen asked. Pound turned around and replied, "Yes". He cleared his throat then introduces his friends to her. "Gretchen I would like you to meet my friends Bupkus, Bang, Blanko, and Nawt." Pound continued, "Fellas, this is Gretchen."
Gretchen smiled as she waved to the boys. "Nice to meet you guys." The boys talked to Gretchen for a while as they started to like her and got to know her better; until she had to go. "It's been nice knowing you all but I have to go. You guys can have the ham." Gretchen headed to the self-checkout and after she was done, she put her groceries in the paper bags when suddenly, Pound called her name. "Hey Gretchen!" She turned around when she heard his voice.
"What is it Pound?" she asked. Pound walked to her and said, "I was wondering if you're not too busy tomorrow, maybe you can come over to our house for Thanksgiving dinner." Gretchen thought about it for a bit and liked the idea. "Sure! Maybe I can meet you guys at 3:30 PM tomorrow. Sounds good?" she asked.
"Yes, I would love that!" Pound smiled with glee. Gretchen gave Pound her phone number and Pound gave Gretchen his phone number. "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow Pound and I'll call you later." she told him.
"Same here!" Pound said.
Gretchen waved him goodbye as she heads out of the store. Pound smiled dreamily as he walked back to the team with his eyes shaped like hearts, his face being red as a tomato, and his heart beating really fast.
