Chapter 3 isn't as eventful as the trio sit at home. Moe goes out on a date, read to find out who.
Chapter 3
Once Curly entered the house, Moe and Larry were obviously in their rooms.
"Good evening Curly," said a woman who was obviously the trio's mother. She had long brunette hair. Despite appearing to be in her mid-40's, she was stunningly beautiful.
"Hello Mom," said Curly.
"How was school?" asked Mom.
"It was pretty good with the exception of a slushie facial at the start of the day," said Curly.
"Again. I thought cheerleaders didn't get slushied," said Mom.
"Apparently you're wrong," said Curly.
"How are things with Santana?" asked Mom.
"Things are going well with her. She asked me out earlier today," said Curly.
"That's wonderful sweetheart! I'm glad that you're going out with her. She's a wonderful girl. I don't get why Moe doesn't like her," said Mom.
"You know what they say, you can't get everybody to like you, nyuk nyuk nyuk," said Curly.
A few minutes later, Curly headed upstairs to his bedroom. His bedroom was spacious and had a full-size bed in the center of the room. In front of the bed was a fifteen-year old 27-inch television set, which had a cable box, a VCR, and a DVD player hooked up to it.
He switched on the television and looked for something to watch. Unfortunately, there was nothing to watch, so he put on a homemade DVD of Santana hanging out with the trio and having fun. Curly laughed his butt off when Santana appeared in their hiding spot like a cartoon character.
Meanwhile, Moe was in his room listening to music. He was dancing to the rhythm to the music and appeared to be having fun. However, his dancing was interrupted by his cellphone ringing. He turned down the stereo, sat down on his bed, grabbed the phone from the table next to the bed.
He opened the phone and saw that it was Quinn that was calling him. Quinn only called him when she had something important to talk about, such as activities with the Cheerios. Otherwise, she usually texts him or sends him messages on Facebook.
"Hello," said Moe, answering Quinn's call.
"Hi Moe. What's going on?," replied Quinn on the other end of the line.
"Not much, we just got home. Santana gave us a ride," replied Moe.
"That's sweet of her. I have something to say to you," said Quinn.
"What is it Quinn?" asked Moe calmly.
"I think that I really like you. You're rough and tough, but compassionate at the same time. Above all, I think you're really cute," said Quinn.
"Aw shucks Quinn, I didn't know that you liked me that much" said Moe. He was blushing.
"I meant that I like you as in romance," said Quinn. She then giggled.
"Oh romance," said Moe doubtfully.
"Don't worry Moe. I'm single," said Quinn.
"I thought that you had a boyfriend," said Moe.
"I just hang out with Sam a lot. I'm not dating him," said Quinn.
"How do you always seem to answer my questions before I ask them?" asked Moe.
"I don't know. Maybe I'm a little psychic," said Quinn flirtatiously.
"Oh no. I'm not falling for that trick again," said Moe sarcastically.
"I'm just kidding Moe. Anyway, do you want to go to Breadstix with me for dinner tonight?" said Quinn.
"Breadstix? I'd love to Quinn. I'll get ready on the double," said Moe.
"Come over when you're ready," said Quinn.
"My dad told me that he got our car running earlier this afternoon. May I take you in it to our dinner," said Moe.
"Sure, I'd can't wait to see what your car is like," said Quinn.
"You're gonna love it," said Moe.
"See you later cutie pie," said Quinn.
"Okay," said Moe happily as he hung up the phone and put it back on the table.
Moe quickly picked out a nice shirt and a nice pair of pants to wear. He took off his Cheerios uniform and put his shirt and pants on. He then put a nice pair of shoes, grabbed his wallet and cellphone and put them in his front pockets. Then, he found his house keys and car keys and put them in another pocket.
He then walked downstairs to find his mom or dad. He came across Dad first.
"I'm going over to Quinn's house. She asked me out to dinner," said Moe.
"That's wonderful Moe. Have fun. Call us if you are going to stay the night at Quinn's place, you know how worried your mom gets," said Dad.
"Thanks Dad, See you later," said Moe.
"See you Moe," said Dad.
Moe headed towards the front door and left the house. He walked over to the next house on the block which he knew was occupied by Quinn and her mother. Once he reached the front door, he rang the doorbell.
Moe tensed up slightly. He always tended to worry a little bit whenever he rang somebody's doorbell, even if it was a close friend such as Quinn.
A moment later the door opened and Quinn appeared. She was still in her Cheerios uniform. Moe didn't understand why Quinn, Brittany, and Santana always wore their Cheerios uniforms, even on weekends. Coach Sylvester only required the uniforms to be worn when they were on campus.
"Hi Moe, you look very handsome tonight," said Quinn.
"Thanks Quinn. You look beautiful as ever in that uniform," said Moe.
"I just love wearing my cheerleading uniform whenever I go out," said Quinn.
"I can see that. Anyway, do you want to see the car," said Moe.
"Sure," said Quinn.
Quinn and Moe headed back to Moe's house. They went inside the house and headed for the garage.
"Hello guys. I thought you were going out on a date," said Dad.
"Oh, I didn't notice you were there Dad," said Moe.
"Perfectly okay," said Dad.
"I'm going to take the old Chevy out for the date instead of using Quinn's Volkswagen," said Moe.
"I see you are really into that car. Let me say no more and wish that you guys have a lot of fun," said Dad.
"Thanks Mr. Howard," said Quinn.
"No problem Quinn, you're welcome any time," said Dad.
They headed to the garage, where a red 1987 Chevrolet Cavalier coupe was parked alongside a blue 2004 Chevrolet Suburban.
"Neat car. It looks like it's in good shape," said Quinn.
"Thanks Quinn, I really can't wait to drive it," said Moe.
"What year is it?" asked Quinn.
"It's from 1987. My dad will get new license plates this weekend," replied Moe.
"Cool. I've always wanted an older car, especially one from the 1960's," said Quinn.
"Is that so?" asked Moe.
"Yes," said Quinn.
Moe unlocked the passenger door and opened it. After Quinn got inside, Moe closed it and unlocked the driver's door and realized that he had accidentally locked the door. Noticing Quinn giggling at him, he turned the key again, and this time, the door opened.
"The door was unlocked silly," said Quinn.
"I should have realized it if I weren't such an imbecile," said Moe, climbing into the car.
"You're funny, but a gentleman as well," said Quinn.
"Those are two definite characteristics of Moe Howard. You either love them or hate them," said Moe. He put the key in the ignition and started the car.
"The starter's loud," said Quinn. She smiled at Moe
"That's the way it is with these old cars," replied Moe. He shifted the car into reverse after using a remote control to open the garage door. He backed the car out of the garage, pushed another button on the remote and the garage door closed.
"Let's go," said Moe. Quinn smiled at him as he backed the car onto the street. He then shifted the car into drive and drove down the street. The car's engine seemed to have a buzzy sound.
Moe drove the car towards the downtown area to avoid passing Santana's house. He had enough of her shenanigans for one day.
"Aren't you going to take the scenic route?" asked Quinn.
"I don't want to pass by Santana's house again," said Moe.
"You are having trouble with her again," said Quinn.
"She's just been irritating the crap out of me lately," replied Moe. "She and Brittany hung on to Curly when I am trying to get him to come with Larry and I after cheer practice."
"That's sad. You know Santana plays rough at times," said Quinn.
"I know! I think she does it a little too often," said Moe. Quinn smiled a gorgeous smile and he noticed the car downshifting into first gear and the engine revving loudly.
"You've got your foot on the gas pedal," said Quinn.
"Oh yeah. I was wondering where my foot had slipped," said Moe, taking his foot off the accelerator.
"At least you weren't using my car, you'd probably get a speeding ticket," teased Quinn.
"Are you teasing me?" asked Moe.
"Yes," replied Quinn flirtatiously.
Meanwhile, Moe stopped the car behind a city bus at a red traffic light.
"I didn't know Coach Sylvester was so famous," said Moe. He had noticed that the ad on the rear of the bus was advertising Sue's Corner on the local news.
"I've seen plenty of billboards and bus ads of her over the past year. Sue's Corner is very popular," said Quinn.
"I don't understand why she would be on the local news," said Moe.
"I think she just wants fame," said Quinn.
Meanwhile, the light turned green and Moe continued to drive until they arrived at a Breadstix.
"Well, shall we go in," said Moe after he parked the car.
"Yes," said Quinn. She smiled at him as Moe got out and opened the door for her. They went inside the restaurant.
Meanwhile, back at the house, Curly and Larry were busy cooking dinner. They were cooking four small steaks, mashed potatoes and corn.
"Hey, can you get me a spatula? These steaks are just about done" asked Larry.
"Soitenly," replied Curly. Curly accidentally handed Larry a serving spoon instead of a spatula.
"A spatula you dummy, not a serving spoon," said Larry, slapping Curly.
"Oh, a spatula," said Curly. He gave Larry a spatula.
"You've got your mind on Santana again," said Larry.
"How did you know?" asked Curly.
"You always become absent-minded when you think of Santana. She's smokin' hot, I know the feeling. I am thinking of asking Brittany out," said Larry.
"When you do, all three of us will have girls," said Curly.
"And we can go out on triple dates. That'll be a lot of fun," said Larry.
"I bet," said Curly. He accidentally put his hand on the burner, causing him to scream in pain.
"Careful, you can get burnt," said Larry.
"I'm a victim of circumstance," said Curly.
And so the Stooges had an evening full of the usual antics, at least for Curly and Larry.
