**Lots of thanks goes to my friend who unknowingly gave me this idea last week when we had to go to church during school. Oh, and please note that I do NOT view church the way Natalie does. I'm more like Henry in this situation haha**

Natalie was doing what she did best on Sunday mornings, and that meant sleeping. At 9:30 am, her cell phone started ringing. Natalie looked at the caller ID: Henry. "What do you want?" Natalie yawned.

"Not much," Henry said. "Just want you to come to church with me."

"What?"

"Come on. Let's go to church. It'll be fun."

"No it won't. I only go on Easter and Christmas, and those times suck. That's it. Now I'm going back to sleep."

"Don't you dare! Come on, Natalie. You only say they suck cuz those masses always have a lot of people. You'd be amazed at the difference if you come to church with me today, while it's Ordinary Time."

"Pshaw. Yeah right, Henry."

"Did I mention that you get to drink?"

"Really? You mean like alcohol?"

"Well, it's technically the blood of Christ, but…"

"Fine, but I sure as hell ain't gonna enjoy being at church and I'm not gonna dress nice either." Natalie climbed out of bed and threw on jeans with a hole in the knee and a wrinkled T-Shirt. "Screw church!" she muttered as she walked downstairs.

"You're up early!" Diana said as she was in the kitchen. "Got a date?"

"No. Henry is forcing me to go to church with him."

"Have fun!"

"What is so fun about church?"

Natalie stormed out of the house and walked to church, where Henry was waiting outside for her. "Glad to see you came!" he said.

"Well, I figured that since you woke me up, I might as well waste an hour of my day sitting inside a boring church doing nothing but stupid praying and singing stupid songs."

"But I'm here."

"That's the only positive."

"Well, we better hurry. The mass is gonna start soon."

"The sooner it starts, the sooner we can leave."

"Come on, Natalie. Let's put on a smile."

"Shut up!" Natalie shouted a bit too loudly.

"Shh! We're going to church!"

"I know that, dumbass."

They walked inside and sat down in a random pew. The mass started and, when it finally came time for the homily, Natalie fell asleep on Henry's shoulder. "Nat? Wake up!" Henry whispered.

"No, this guy is boring," Natalie whispered back.

"He's the priest."

"So?"

"Nat, come on."

"Can we please leave now?"

"No."

"I hate it here!"

"Keep it down! We're in a church!"

"So what?"

"Uh, Nat…"

"This is why I only come to church on Easter and on Christmas! This whole thing is just to fucking boring!"

"People are staring…"

"Let them stare. I'm getting my point across. I HATE CHURCH!" Natalie ran out of the church and Henry tried to hide. For the first time ever, Natalie had completely embarrassed him.

"Note to self: NEVER take Natalie to church again."

**Aw, poor Henry. Just thought I'd say that**
