Chapter 1- The Surprise

It was a snowy ten degree day in Aaron's hometown of South Bend, Indiana. He had just gotten the last of the carts at work, when his cell phone ringed. It was Aaron's longtime friend, Laura, the biggest Good Charlotte fan on the planet, bar none! "I'm returning you the favor. Tomorrow, you are coming to Virginia to fly to Ocean Shores with me." Aaron was speechless. "Well, Laura, I'm glad to be talking to you again, after all, remember that prank we pulled on Lars three years ago?"

"Yeah? We? I'm the one that changed his diaper, which I should have never done. I'm aiming to get you back, Aaron. I'll see you tomorrow." 24 hours later, Aaron arrived at the airport, waiting for Laura. He was still half groggy and asleep in his #8 Michigan jersey. Then, a lady about Aaron's size grabbed him and dragged him towards a concealed bathroom area.

"This is for dragging me into the prank a few years ago, Aaron." She proceeded to get the bottle of laxatives out. "You know, I'm about to put you through what Lars suffered back then. Any last words before your humiliation?" Suddenly, Aaron recognized it was Laura. "Please, Laura, I'm begging you don't make me a baby!"

Then, Aaron, much like Twister, tripped on his shoelaces, running away, and falling straight on to the water fountain. Laura picked Aaron up. She was laughing really hard. "Laura, what the heck is so funny?" Laura could barely contain herself now. "You, Aaron Harris, have just been 'Punked' on MTV!" "Really?" She looked at Aaron. "What?!" "No, Aaron, I just wanted to say that!"

"It's good to see you again, Aaron. I hope there are no hard feelings." The two exchanged hugs and Christmas cards. "Now enough of that, we have to go to Ocean Shores. And what in God's name are you carrying, Aaron?" "It's my Game Cube; my brother just purchased the latest Legend of Zelda game, the Twilight Princess. The game is over 120 hours long." Laura just shook her head. "My God, you are so obsessed with Zelda." And Aaron looked back, "And what about Family Guy, or GC?" "You like Family Guy, too, Aaron." Then, the two got on the plane together. "Let me play that, Aaron! It looks good!"

"But, I thought you said…" "Oh well, okay, go ahead with it." Laura turned to Aaron. "Aaron, I have something special for you. Just close your eyes for one second." Aaron was anticipating the moment. It was an earring, from Urban Exchange. "Now, hold still, Aaron, this might hurt a little." "Ouch!" "Aaron, you are just a big baby. Hold still." "Now, look in the mirror." "I love it! It's me! I am after all, me." Aaron never held back from saying Otto's favorite line. Five hours later, the plane landed in Los Angeles, California, where the Rockets were waiting for their impending arrival.
