So I guess we'll jump ahead to tomorrow shall we? I mean it's the day of the game, and I'm kind of excited for my first ever Twins game...well not counting the countless number of games I've seen on TV but to go to a real game? This is exciting, the only buzz kill is that jerk Cole got the tickets and we have to go with him. Anyways it was after three and Cole was on his way to pick us up...just great, I was just waiting in my cage for that jerk to arrive and Linda seemed pretty happy. "Your first Twins game Blu, aren't you excited?" Yeah sure, If Cole suddenly bails on us we still have a ticket but I don't see that happening. Anyways, it was around 3:30pm and Linda was closing the store, we normally close at four on a Sunday but well...you know we're going to the game! I looked out the window and pulling right up to the curb was that infamous '07 Dodge Charger, Cole honked the horn and Linda put me in my travel cage and she carried me out. She locked the door and Cole got out of the car and opened the back door and Linda put me in. It smells like cheap leather seats and cheap cologne in here, the scent is overbearing! "Let's get a moving!" said that jerk wearing his stupid customized Twins jersey as Linda stepped in, shut her door and we were off to Target Field...I know it's a two hour drive but I have a feeling it's gonna be a LONG two hours. "Cole you know that was so sweet of you to get the tickets for Bring your Pet to the Ballpark!" I have a feeling those were the tickets he was trying to avoid but then again I'm sure fate is a...you know, gotta keep it K rated here and yes I know I broke the fourth wall...then again I'm talking to you so I know I'm...oh forget it I'm getting off track! "Yeah, I saw them and thought of you" Okay seriously pal? Quit sucking up to Linda, flattery gets you nowhere fast, "So Linda, how's business at the Blue Macaw?" as if he was interested "Business is good, so Cole I've been meaning to ask, what do you do for a living?" Probably some off the books job where he'll get no tax return.
"I do construction, we've just been working on fixing up an old building, so what else have you been up to since High School?"
"Not much, other then the Macaw that's about it"
"That's pretty cool, you know the other day when it was raining you know what I was thinking of?"
"What?"
"That time I took you out to the movies and it began to rain and I began to sing Singing in the Rain"
"I remember that, you're such a goof"
Yeah, unfortunately he was also a goof who I guess was too good to catch pneumonia or something like that. I gotta say watching those two talk actually made time go by quicker which was an upside! We had arrived at Target Field and it was so cool to be there, the stadium looks so much bigger in person and there were so many people donning team gear and they had brought their pets...mostly dogs, I don't think I saw too many birds. Anyways when we got out Linda let me out of my cage and I decided you know what, since she's here I'm gonna perch on Cole's shoulder...what's he gonna do about it? I knew he got annoyed but I didn't care, "Oh Cole isn't that nice? He likes you...you don't mind him up there do you?" I'm sure he won't! "Nah, it's cool" then he turned his head to me "I don't mind you digging your talons into an almost three hundred dollar authentic customized jersey" he said it through his teeth. I could care less though because I knew he wasn't going to do anything, as we were going into the stadium the ticket collector told us that since they brought me along we'd all be going to a special section for pet owners! Sweet! "Look Cole we're getting different seats" I guess he wasn't fazed at all but hey we're getting bumped up. So before we got to our seats Cole had bought some snacks and a big box of popcorn, we then entered the area were our seats were and we were sitting by the big the Target Field sign and it was pretty cool. "Oh darn I forgot napkins!" I bet Cole would forget his head if it weren't attached! "Don't worry Cole I'll get them" I decided to stay and have some of that delicious popcorn of Cole's, like I said before...what's he gonna do? I stuck my head in that box and began munching on that popcorn...man it was delicious! Then Cole saw me and pulled it away from me, "If you ever try that again I promise you I will stick you in a deep fat fryer!" Yeah, all mouth and no muscle! Just then Linda had come back with some napkins and she saw Cole holding the box of popcorn, "Cole you're so sweet sharing your popcorn with Blu"
"Right, that's what I was doing...go ahead buddy eat up, there's plenty"!
Heh, this is great! Nothing like popcorn and a baseball game. I saw Cole had bought Linda a hot dog and a soda and they were eating. After the singing of the National Anthem they announced the team lineup and the ballgame had started, man my first Twins game! The only things that would make it perfect were if Cole wasn't here and I wasn't surrounded by all these dogs.
(A/N) Looks like Blu's got Cole on a leash, I mean he's getting away with perching on Cole's expensive jersey and eating all his popcorn...then again Cole kinda deserves it don't ya think? Next chapter will be up soon! Until next time.
