I own nothing. You will probably need Google Translator for this (unless you can speak and read Greek)
It's All Greek to Me
The next day I dressed in my blue swim trunks and an old t-shirt that said 'Mackenzie Falls' on it. I drove to Sonny's apartment and when I got there I heard… barking? Sonny doesn't have a dog. I've been to her apartment before. I stood outside the door listening to the voices coming from inside it.
"Sonny, puh-leez come?"
"No! I'm not going to the beach with you and especially not with Chad Dylan Cooper!"
"είσαι τόσο χαζός! Δεν μπορείτε να δείτε ακόμη και ο φίλος σας εξαπατά σε σας! έρχονται στην παραλία και θα πρέπει να ερωτεύονται με το πρόσωπο που σας συμπαθεί πραγματικά, αντί του εν λόγω ηλίθιος!"
"Joy, you know I can't speak Greek."
"That's why I said it in Greek, ηλίθιος! Now let's go! Put on your swimsuit! Chad should be here any minute! Θα πρέπει να φορούν το γαλάζιο μπικίνι. Τσαντ θα νομίζετε ότι είστε ζεστό ... ίσως. Οι περισσότεροι άνδρες σκέφτονται έτσι. Listen, you would just be going as a friend! If Jake is a true boyfriend οποίο δεν then he wouldn't mind you hanging out with friends," Joy said.
"Yeah I guess you're right. I'll go get dressed now… um… ευχαριστώ για τις μπανάνες που τρίβει την πίτα ποτ κοτόπουλο μου…? Did I say that right?"
"No, you didn't!" Joy managed to say through all her laughs. I knocked on the door.
"I guess Chad's here," Joy said. She opened the door and was standing there in a white dress-like cover up and holding back a dog by its collar. She smiled at me, but not a polite 'how do you do?' smile, more like a 'my evil and brilliant plan has worked! Mwahahaha!' smile.
"Sonny'll be a minute. Why not come in and sit down?" She said standing aside and motioning towards the couch. I walked inside and sat down. Joy plopped on the couch next to me and put her feet up on the coffee table.
"So… How's your arm been?" Joy asked.
"Good… I guess… It doesn't hurt as badly as it did yesterday, so that's good I guess," I said grinning slightly.
"Συγγνώμη ήταν τέτοια ηλίθιος για βλάπτει εσάς," Joy said in Greek.
"What? Joy I don't understand… Greek?"
"Τι; oh right, sorry! What I said was-" Joy was interrupted by a certain brunette in a (Hot!) blue bikini.
"How do I- Chad, you're here!"
"Φαίνεσαι εντυπωσιακή!" I said. Joy and Sonny just stared at me. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to act like I didn't know Greek. Unfortunately, Joy probably understood what I just said.
"μπορείτε να μιλάτε ελληνικά;" Joy asked with a little anger in her eyes.
"Συγγνώμη Είπα ψέματα για να σας νωρίτερα. Ναι Μπορώ να μιλήσω ελληνικά. Θα πρέπει να μιλήσω αγγλικά ίσως τώρα, ώστε αδελφή σου δεν τρελαίνομαι," I said with an apologetic smile.
"Είναι εντάξει και έχετε δίκιο. Η αδερφή μου θα έπρεπε να κουραστεί να ακούω ελληνικά από τώρα."
"Okay, thanks Joy. Wait, Μήπως αδελφή σου αγάπη μου;" I really wanted to know and since Sonny couldn't understand Greek, I figured this was the perfect time to ask.
"Not now Chad!"
"Okay fine! If your both ready then let's go!" I said standing up.
"Can Mackenzie come?" Joy asked.
"Who?"
"The dog… well actually he's part wolf… and an actor," Joy said patting Mackenzie's head.
"Yeah the dog can come," I said.
Sonny grabbed a sundress and slipped it over top of her swimsuit. Joy grabbed her beach bag that contained a towel, sun block, and other beach stuff, and we walked out the door and down to my car. One of my songs from the movie 'Starstruck' came on the radio and just to annoy Sonny, Joy and I sang along… in Greek.. or at least the closest translation we could think of. It didn't matter: Sonny couldn't understand us anyways.
"δεν μπορείτε να με δείτε
δεν μπορείτε να με συναντήσει
Ναι είμαι στο παιχνίδι μου
Αυτό είναι όταν είμαι σε αποχρώσεις μου
Βλέπε τις κάμερες που αναβοσβήνει
Στο κόμμα και ήρθε η ώρα για δράση
Είσαι η κύρια έλξη
σε αποχρώσεις μου!" Joy and I sang. Sonny was getting really frustrated at this point. At first she tried to figure out what we were saying with her Greek dictionary, which she had brought along so she could understand us, but we were talking so fast that by the time Joy and I finished our conversation, Sonny had finally figured out the first thing we said.
Soon we were at the beach and guess who was there: the paparazzi. I bet you thought Jake was going to be there huh? Well luckily no, he wasn't there.
"Chad! Chad! Over here!" They yelled. Oh great. I bet Sonny and I at the beach together were front page worthy.
"Ω μεγάλη," Joy said. In the back seats of my car I found three pairs of sunglasses and a baseball hat I had thrown back there and Joy pulled two sun hats out of her bag. We each put on shades and a hat (the girls had the sun hats and I had the baseball cap.) We got out of the car and walked down until we were close to the ocean but not like three steps and you're in the water close. Mackenzie was running around like he had never seen a beach before. Sonny and I sat on a beach towel that was huge. Joy was running after Mackenzie laughing so hard she almost fell down a couple of times. Now that I really looked at him, Mackenzie did look a lot like a wolf. Scratch that. Mackenzie looked exactly like a wolf. He was huge too. Trust me, if you had to choose between fighting a pro wrestler and fighting Mackenzie, choose the pro wrestler. I could see why Joy loved him so much. If you had to imagine Joy as an animal, you would imagine her as Mackenzie. The paparazzi took a few photos of us and soon after they left us alone.
"I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy
With heart, and soul
But if you're the one for me
I'll be your hero," I sang in a low voice as I looked out at the ocean. Sonny was listening to her ipod so she didn't hear me. I wish she had. Honestly, it's like she doesn't want me to show her my sweet side! It's aggravating!
How was it? I wanted to end it soon but trust me, there's a lot more that happens at the beach! Reviews please!
