Oh, 7/11 and your sale on energy drinks.

btw -- I suggest subscribing to this if you're looking for a simple, pointless read just for the sake of reading. =)

btw2 -- this might the last post for a while. For the next two weeks I will be training for a new job and I am unsure of the time frame that comes with it. I have some snips already written, but I want to work on them some more.


The local convenience store chain had a sale on energy drinks. If you bought one you could get another one for free. How in the world could Davis turn this opportunity down?

Sharing with Ken was the first thing that came to mind.

When Davis saw the sticker announcing this wonderful opportunity, he immediately searched for Ken, who was thumbing through a magazine. As if getting him a gift, Davis announced he had a surprise for Ken and demanded that he closed his eyes and held his hand open.

Unsure if this was a safe thing, he reluctantly did so. When he felt the cold metal being dropped into his palm, his eyes snapped open, not really preparing for what Davis gave him. At first, Ken was truly hesitant. He always scolded Davis for consuming the chemicals on a regular basis. Davis informed him he was young and could survive an ulcer.

Ken chose a green straw after looking over all the colors available; Davis knew before hand he was going to get a blue straw. Before Ken was able to put the straw in his mouth to give it a try, Davis pulled the green plastic from the can.

"What are you doing?"

"We have to toast to something!"

"What!" Ken asked somewhat wildly, not seeing the logic in it. "Like what?"

With a shrug, Davis informed him that he didn't know, yet. After brainstorming it, he gave the straw back and announced, "To energy!"

They clanked their cans together and began drinking. Almost choking, Ken stopped drinking and asked the redhead how he could drink such garbage.

"It's an acquired taste, you fairy. Now stop complaining and drink your damn drink."

As they exited, Ken said dryly, "I'm surprised you know what acquired means."


With the use of my jedi mind tricks, you want to review this story. =D
