Ah, what a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and California is being stalked.
Well, stalked is such a strong word. In all reality she is being followed by three men as she goes about her daily business. So yeah, stalked.
The three men in question are Arizona, Texas, and New York. They all are bent on getting Cali away from the other two.
This is going to be good.
First on the to-do list is... Starbucks! Of course. Can't go without it.
Hopping into her Nissan Leaf, she takes off to the magical coffee shop. Her Leaf is a small all-electrical car so a lot of the other drivers tend to doubt her car's ability.
She stops at the red light just in time to notice the muscular man in the big truck next to her take a look at her car and chuckle to himself. Cali glares at him until the light turns green. She slams down on the accelerator, leavening the monster truck, which stalled for a few minutes, in the dust.*
After zipping past the many gas stations, and laughing at the customers with their gas-guzzlers every time she did, she parks and walks into the café.
This is the last time I'm gonna do this,
Arizona thinks to himself.
She is strong, hell she's stronger than me.
She just can't understand when somebody is threatening her.
He sits down at a bench across from the Starbucks and pulls out a newspaper.
Okay, she's just getting coffee. Nothing to worry about.
Hold on, is that who I think it is?
Texas maybe had possibly followed Cali to the store. It's just a possibility.
After waiting a few minutes, he strides into the shop after her.
Kick the kickstand down, don't let your motorcycle fall over like it did last time,
New York thought to himself. He had seen Cali's adorable red car on his way to her house and decided to tag-along.
Wow, she looks great. She always looks great but she is just shimmering in the sun today. It's surprisingly warm here. It's snowing back in New York.
Oh great now New York is here too. I need to get Cali away from those creeps before they can do anything.
Arizona stood up, folding the newspaper and then throwing it away. Cali had already ordered so it would be any second that she got her drink.
Stepping into the shop was a pleasant difference from the heat. It's air-conditioned which can win over the desert state any day.
Good. She has her drink. Oh come on, the barista is still talking to her.
He yanks Cali away from the talkative employee and drags her to the door. Quickly pulling her out to her car, brushing past New York who is shocked to see them.
Cali flips her hair over her shoulder, takes a sip of the concoction she just bought, and says to New York
"Hey Yorkie! Got to go, but I'll talk to you later, kay?"
Arizona practically pushes her into the driver's seat and then rushes into the passenger's seat while New York mumbles out a flustered
"Yeah, okay"
His cheeks are getting redder by the second. Arizona is disgusted, he's looking at her with such lust, gross. He wants to get her out of there.
"Drive"
"Geez Ari, okay"
While all this is happening, Texas walks out of the store with his coffee. New York sees him and stomps off angrily, climbs onto his bike, and calls out
"Stay away from her, redneck. Got it?"
"Not on your life you varmint.**"
*Based on true events. My dad owns a Leaf and one day a big truck decides to scoff at his car. Don't be fooled, electric cars are very fast just not for very long because it takes up a lot of energy really quickly
**Texas calls New York a varmint due to the large population of rodents in his city
