Hey, so this is the final chapter of "The Four Stories of April 23rd". Well I am telling you now that I think there will be a sequel. It may take a while to come out though because I honestly don't know what I would write it about. So, this last chapter is about Dez. I hope you don't mind random thoughts and stuff because there will be a lot. Well, I love you guys and your reviews. Please keep reviewing!

I walk to my closet and pick out the most random outfit I can. I decide on forest green jeans, a penny print jacket, yellow high tops and suspenders and a light gray shirt with a purple kapow pointy thing and a big banana in the center. Perfect! I even found my hair brush and brushed my hair. I looked in to the cat framed mirror. She can't resist this!
I jog down the stairs and around the corner to the front room then dash out the door. SQUIRREL! Never mind, that's just a rabbit. I hop into the driver's seat of my rusty VW van and start the engine. As usual, it takes 3 tries to get it to start. The engine roars like a koala (and yes, koala's do make sounds or so I have heard) and I drive off. A couple times I have to look at the map. Why does Trish work so far away? Oh well, it will be worth it.
I still find it amusing that see actually said she'd come with me to Zaliens. The reason it is funny is because we always act like we hate each other. Of course, we do have our moments, like after I made the Big Momma movie about her she exclaimed, "I LOVE IT!" and gave me a big bear hug. Filming that was so much fun, almost as fun as playing sousaphone basketball.
When I finally got to The Sock Shop, I pointed at myself in the rearview mirror and clicked my tongue. Go get her tiger! Trying to be as cool as possible, I slowly swagger walked into the store. I noticed the flower bed next to the front and quickly pulled out a couple daisies. Hopefully she doesn't remember when I did that for Mindy. When the bell rang, Trish came running out to meet me.
"Hey Trish." I said as I offered her the flowers, which she accepted gratefully.
"Hey Dez! Thanks for the flowers." She sounded extremely flattered. She took a huge breath in. "They smell beautiful. Almost as good as I do."
"Yes, beautiful smelling flowers for a bee-U-ti-fal girl." I coo.
"Oh, how sweet." She puts her hand over her heart as though she was about to cry. "Now let's GO!" She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the car. Now I know how my dog feels when I take it on a walk.
The car ride was silent. Considering it was rush hour on a Friday in the middle of Miami, the traffic wasn't bad. About 15 minutes into the drive, I heard Trish's quiet snores. She looked so pretty and peaceful when she slept. I noticed her slight tremble. At the next traffic jam, I shook off my jacket and gently set it on Trish's bare shoulders. She woke up about 20 minutes later and I took my jacket off her and chucked it into the back seat. The expression on her face after that was priceless.
We had three minutes until the movie started. I grabbed her hand and we rushed in to get our tickets and a large bucket of buttery popcorn. We got into the movie the minute it started. We were lucky enough to find 2 seats right in the front row. The Zaliens were popping off the screen!
However, this wasn't exactly a positive. This movie, oh man, it was terrifying! It was the first Zaliens made in 3D, so of course they had to make it a bazillion times scarier. Embarrassingly, throughout the movie, I kept screaming like a 5 year old girl and hugging Trish. Sure hope that she doesn't care I am a baby.
In the last scene, the main protagonists had just annihilated the Zalien brigade. With purple Zalien bloodstains covering their clothes, they make out. It was actually really cheesy, but this is my chance. Don't bump heads! I turned to Trish and started to make my move. Suddenly I realized. Holy frick this just isn't right! And I retreated. She seemed to realize it at eh same moment I did. We both shivered, freaked out.
The movie ending was just as epic the rest. The mothership retreated Earth to go take over another planet. I helped Trish get her stuff and I opened the door for her. Girls eat that stuff up! Trish wasn't the exception.
Just as we got to the car Trish exclaimed, "Oh nartz!" He he. "I forgot that I asked Ally to pick me up! She and Austin are probably driving to the Sock Store right now! I'd better call Ally." Ally was on her speed dial so she got a hold of Ally in no time at all. Ally answered, sounding like she wanted to strangle Trish.
"Hello."
"Hey Ally! Guess who just went on a date with Dez?" Woo hoo!
"You did!" She bellowed.
"She did." I gloated.
"Wow!"
"Are you still with Austin?" Oh please, no. I am so gonna get an earful later.
"Yeah." Ally moans.
"Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt your smooching." Trish taunts. I have to literally hold my breath in an effort not to laugh. I bet my face looks like a puffer fish.
"We weren't smooching!" What a load of bologna.
"Yeah, right." I bet Ally was rolling her eyes right now. The thought brings on yet another bought of silent laughter. "So, I just was calling to tell you that Dez picked me up three hours ago to take me to the new Zaliens. So I wanted to tell you that you didn't have to pick me up."
"You could have told me that earlier." Someone's vexed.
"Little mad today aren't we Ally." Girls these days.
"Girls are so weird." Oh no, not the look. "Okay, okay, not all girls."
"Whatever." And stood on her tippy-toes and kissed my cheek. I reached up. The place where her lips touched burned. Wow…
