-Thanks to my reviewers! Here's the next chapter! I know I haven't updated in forever, sorry about that! It's been really busy!-
The guy that worked at Ben and Jerry's carefully explained to the dumb girl what Phish Food was. She nodded her head throughout his detailed description. The guy was careful to not go too fast and to use very small words. When he finally finished, she said, "Yeah, okay, but is there actual fish food in it?" He could feel his anger building but explained to her everything again. She said, "Ohhhhhhhhhhh. I'll take a scoop of vanilla." The guy rolled his eyes and gave her the ice cream.
Zack and Freddy watched this for a little while. Then they got bored. Then they got impatient. Then they got happy because the guy had finished describing to the girl what Phish Food was. And they got impatient again because the guy had to explain everything all over again. And when the girl got vanilla, Freddy and Zack got really pissed off. They ordered their ice cream while the girl went outside to sit at one of the tables that was right in front of the store. When they got it, they headed outside too.
The girl turned her head when she heard the door open and Zack and Freddy took one look at her. Then they ran, trying to keep their ice cream on the cone. Zack looked back and saw that she was following them. He ran even faster. But he noticed that Freddy was no longer beside him. He looked back again and saw Freddy kneeling on the ground and staring remorsefully at his scoop of ice cream which had fallen to the pavement. He was still holding the cone. Zack yelled, "Freddy come on!" Freddy looked behind him and saw that the girl was gaining on him. He got up and ran.
Freddy caught up to Zack and they ran past the surf shop, Spanky's, and the department store until they reached their condo. They got inside and locked all the doors and windows. Freddy was seething. "How could you tell her we were coming here?" he asked Zack.
"Sorry!"
"Sorry doesn't cut it! I mean, this is serious, I lost my ice cream!"
"Just take mine."
Zack handed Freddy his cone. He hadn't even managed to get a lick of his ice cream. Not even one lick. He stared sadly as Freddy ravenously ate the ice cream and then the cone. Suddenly, there was a knocking at the door. Mrs. Jones came out of her room where she had been reading and said, "I'll get it!" "NO!!!" both boys yelled. Freddy's mom looked at them questionably, and Zack managed to say, "It's a guy trying to sell us stuff, he's been following us around."
Mrs. Jones hated people who tried to sell you stuff and she took Zack's explanation as a good enough excuse and went back into her room. Zack went over to look out the window and see if it really was who they thought it was. And there was Tawny, knocking on their door. Freddy said, "She'd follow you anywhere man." Zack said, "Yeah, I know. I really need to get rid of her." Just then, Freddy appeared to have an idea and told it to Zack.
"What if you said that you were going to someplace you would never ever actually go in your entire life. And then she might go there. But you'd have to say something like, And if someone were looking for me and couldn't find me, they should just keep looking because I would be hiding. You could say that you were going to Djibouti (a/n which really is a country!) or somewhere obscure. I think it could work."
Zack looked at Freddy incredulously. "You think that's really going to work? That's so freaking obvious!!!! I mean, no one would fall for that."
"She's pretty stupid."
"Yeah, but not THAT stupid!"
"Actually yeah."
"Okay, you're right."
Tawny was still banging on the door and Freddy nudged Zack over to the door. Zack began speaking loudly. "I'm moving to Djibouti permanently, that means forever. I leave in five minutes to go there forever. And if I can't be found there, it's simply because I'm hiding."
He glared at Freddy with a look that said, There's no way in hell that that worked. Freddy went over to the window and peeked out. He saw brown hair flying back as a girl sprinted down the street. "Actually," he said, "I think it did work." Zack went over to the window as well and got a quick glimpse of Tawny's brown hair. It was enough to convince him. "Now let's hit the beach," Freddy said.
They changed into their swimsuits and grabbed their boogie boards. Then they walked out the door and onto the beach. They enjoyed a day of relaxation and swimming. And the best part about it was, they didn't see Tawny anywhere.
-I know this was really short, I apologize for the brevity! Anyways, please review! PLEASE!!!-
