A/N: I love having fun with my story and doing wacky things my ideas are off the wall I was talking to Deja earlier this morning and she said something that sparked an idea! It doesn't take much for me to get an idea from myself or just talking to you on the phone or twitter it's kind of crazy but, does that make sense? You're about to find out what I did!
Happy Reading. (:
Stevie's POV
"Denise, let down your window it's not that bad oh look its emu and another one. Hand me a carrot. Denise, where is his carrot?"
"I can't believe you bought me here! Who idea was this? Stevie I'm not looking behind me I know it's an animal."
"No it's not ain't nothing behind you." She turned head. "3, 2, 1."
"AHHH…what kind of an animal is that!" She tapped the window. "GET YOUR HEAD AWAY FROM MY WINDOW I'M NOT FEEDING YOU STEVIE IT'S A DEER COMING IN."
"Hey buddy here you go. Denise look it is not bad okay that's enough, Deja and JT you guys enjoying this."
"It's awesome." Deja leaned forward. "Mom let's do a selfie." I let down her window. "Come on say cheese." The bison stuck his head in her window.
"He's trying to eat me." She tossed her feed all over the car. "No, no don't eat it off my, ahhhhh that's my lap! I'm not some tasty treat aaahhh..."
I rolled up her window laughing. "That was funny your window can stay up but don't be surprised if one of the animals comes through on my side to yours." My phone rang. "Yeah she flipped when the llama touched her hand she felt hair on her skin it's a deer coming up to your car."
"Mommy look its Rudolph! Hi Rudolph is they letting you play in reindeer games. That's good here's a carrot. No Prancer this is for Rudolph you can go to mommy and get something…Is this where Santa takes his reindeer while he's on vacation for the rest of the year?"
"Yup they just come here to play and get fed they go back to North Pole U around November that's when the entire holiday sale starts some go back before Halloween for orientation."
"Mommy sing with me, Rudolph the red nose reindeer had a very shiny nose and if you ever saw him…"
"Sam JJ is calling me 3 way calling me hold on I'm going to merge the calls. JJ, go ahead."
"All I heard was a scream calling to see if Denise fed an animal?"
"No, I did not who idea was this I'm still waiting on my answer."
"I told she wasn't going to do it Stevie I'm having a blast though did you see that huge Texas longhorn? Then one foggy Christmas Eve…."
"Yeah I see him he's on Denise side, let down your window I want to feed him."
"Oh, no y'all just want to see me get eat! I'm trying to live and y'all bring me to an drive-thru eating park where animals get to taste you while you feed them they steal some licks on you. Deja watch your hand. JT let up your window it's not safe."
"Mommy it's fine let me get your cup of food that bison made it rain with my cup of food. Greedy! Thank you."
"Aww look at this cute alpaca, hi you're so cute."
Denise whipped out her phone. "Who are you calling?"
"Mary see what she thinks of this foolishness. Hello Mary."
"Oh lord, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord Simon stop throwing carrots out the window…ahhhhhh. H-Hello Denise, how are you up there? PawPaw that's nasty!"
"What did he do?"
"PawPaw put a carrot in his mouth and the deer took it oh lord it's a big animal with huge horns making its way back here I'm all the way in the back seat but they have the sunroof opened Simon sit down."
"Thankfully they don't…..A GIRAFFE HEAD IS IN MY CAR! It just ate some food from my cup! It's got a gray tongue! How did I get another cup? I tossed my everywhere! I talk to you once we get up out of here." She tossed her phone on the floor. "Stevie how much longer I'm trying to…"
"We know, we know survive. I put together a medley of songs about surviving tweaked for this purpose alone. You a survivor, what, they not gon' eat you, the only want fruit and veggies they not gonna eat you, roll down your window, hand them a carrot it's not that bad your survive if you just try it! The animal with a second chance she wants some food not your hand you outgha just feed them they are too demanding a deer, a alpaca, a bison they love to eat and never stop with a timid hand and a heart of a HCOer you might be a survivor…closing it out with a Jerry Butler Mommy only the strong survive only the strong survive you got to be strong you'd better hold on to that carrot because only the strong."
"Daddy look that camel is running after Uncle Sam's truck! It's a camel on the run! It's peeing!"
TJ started singing. "Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba sithi uhm ingonyama ingonyama nants ingonyama bagithi Baba sithi uhhmm ingonyama ingonyama siyo nqoba ingonyama ingonyama nengw' enamabala…"
"Daddy look the animals are dancing to TJ singing."
"This is too much foolishness I'll be under my blanket while y'all get ate!"
Alex J's POV
From the day I flew out of the left nut I was forming trying to step onto the scene there's more to be seen by the intelligent fetus I have done more than could ever be done. It's the Circle of Life and it moves us all through despair and hope through faith and love till we find our place on the path unwinding in the Circle the Circle of Life *raises Cinny over head*
Cinny – Put me down!
Sam's POV
"I just thought of song tweak I could make." TJ cleared his throat. "What's on the menu it could be Aunt Denise, it could be Aunt Denise, Aunt Denise, she's under a blanket trying to be eat…that's The Lion King 1 ½ remix. Where we're rolling to next?"
"We're going to the little mini zoo you want to ride a camel?"
"I can ride a camel will it be like the one that was chasing after our truck that peed in front of us or the one from commercial walking through the office."
"This camel will be led by someone that camel was on one, did you love the safari baby?"
"I did between the camel, Denise and Mary screaming, TJ breaking out in song, Deja tweaking songs, Alex J kick I enjoyed it. We should put this on our list of family adventures." I parked the car Stevie pulled up beside us blowing his horn. "Why is Stevie doing that?" He yanked off Denise blanket. "Oh my goodness."
"Mommy why is Aunt Denise hair everywhere?! She look like she been through it!"
"She's been under the blanket sweating out her hair."
"She looks crazy like she's about to go into battle or she got the message that someone spotted Tank and she didn't grab her shoes or nothing Jesus just picked up her hatchet set running out the house." Mommy opened the door I jumped out. "JT wasn't it cool! Did you hear me singing?"
"I did! Deja was back here singing too while mommy hid under her blanket saying we were going to get ate."
"Y'all almost got ate." She pulled down the visor and looked at herself. "My hair I look crazy! You guys are so wrong for that! Who idea was it to bring me here?" Deja and JT pointed at each other. "Either way strong discussion for when we get back to the room, I can't, I cannot, foolishness! Where are we off to now?"
"Daddy said that I get to ride the camels!" She slammed her door shut. "I'll be right here waiting for the family to come back, nope I'm already traumatized take video and picture. Mary is you going to see them ride the camel."
"Oh lord no! I'm jumping in there with you! Stevie give the keys Denise and I are going back to the room you can hitch a ride with JaPawnica! Thank you. Call us when you get done and what restaurant we're going to eat at we're going to find a spa to reverse the damages that have been done to us, it stinks like hell!"
"Okay, I love you Denise!" She rolled her eyes. "I do!"
"Gabby, Jazzy, Ian, Logan, and Simon what did you think about that?"
"One word epic! Daddy would put a carrot in his mouth and the animal would take it out, it was gross and cool at the same time then he tried to kiss mommy she'd mush him in the face. She didn't even let her window down! Then and emu stuck his head in the car and lost it! She called daddy all kinds of names."
"Baby did you want to roll with them?" I shut the car door. "TJ stop running."
"No I want to see the other animals get video of TJ riding the camel. There goes the camel right there. Hi camel. What's his name?"
"Mike."
"Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike guess what day it is? Guess camel!"
Mike the Camel: It's not fucking hump day whoop de fucking do thank you! No one cared about my big hairy hump ass until that dang commercial now every day we're open I get asked that a lot. I have feelings and just… Hold up, you're Mercedes Jones son TJ, where your mommy at. Wassup Girl! Let me get my strut on show off my humps and lumps.
"Baby call me crazy but this camel is showing off for you why is he edging closer to TJ. He has TJ head in his mouth. Hump back, hump back, hump back." TJ rubbed his head. "Let me see your head you good?"
"Yeah, the lady said that that's how they show affection to other camels but biting people and nibbling them it's bad."
"She's right, you still want to ride him?"
"Of course! Me and Gabby riding together over here! Let's Gabby boo. Up Up! We all the way up here." I snapped the photo. "Mommy I want a camel!"
"No!"
Unknown POV
"I know you said that you had to step off the case because you got spotted but he doesn't know me let just keep this discreet between you and I or just give me Sam and Mercedes number." I pulled back the curtain. "No, I can't write it down, Tank just showed up I'm not going to end the call just stay on with me I'm going to put my phone in my pocket put your side on mute so nothing will got you." I opened the door. "Hello. What brings you back here? The only time I should see you are if I need some repairs done but all is well."
"Wassup I'm just dropping by seeing how you getting settled I've been away on vacation with my wife and friend. You got it looking good up in here Mercedes never had it look this good."
"Thanks, I try." He flopped down on the couch. "Y-You're staying I thought you were going to go I was just about to head out but it can wait. Tell me about you."
"There's nothing much to know about me I'm Tank, I have a few kids, one dead baby mama, I got a wife, a friend, my mother and cousin were killed by the hands of Mercedes so it's just me against the world and she has my babies two TJ and Tankerita."
"T-Tankerita I thought you only had one baby and the other….oops. He studied me from his body language I could tell he knew I knew more. "Sorry, I'm confusing it up my friend is having a baby he just dropped the news on me not him but his girlfriend."
He nodded his head. "Oh, okay because I thought you had some insider information." I gulped. "Mercedes and them hired some fool ass detective to follow me and I'm good at spotting them." He looked through my mail. "Is this really your name or a fake one?"
"I-It's my real name I'm not a PI or a spy that's my name."
"Okay I believe you, you really don't' have the look of a spy." I let out a slow long breath. "I believe you but if not." He raised his shirt. "I'd have to shoot you, I didn't kill that guy I just shot a few warning shots for him to send a message back to Samcedes one these bullets has their name on it. You have a good day."
"Y-You too I'll have the rent for in in cash maybe the next time you come by you can bring your wife have and we can drink. Sounds good."
"It does I'll see you then have some food too we like to eat."
"I will. Bye." I pulled out my phone. "Hello, did you hear all of that? He didn't shoot any few warning shots he only shot one then he came to your car yelling I was on the phone with you. So what is their number?"
Mercedes POV
"Sam I want a picture with TJ and all of his cousins, TJ stand right there, Gabby, Jazzy, Ian, Logan, and JT." I tilted my head. Something is off about this picture. "Deja! Where is Deja?"
"Oh my goodness! This writer isn't wrapped to tight she a fool I can't believe that the baby is Brooklyn's I totally thought the baby was Cyan's then her mother snatched up Brooklyn so quick taking her to the hospital sound like my mother instead of a hatchet she got a hammer."
"Deja what are you talking about? Why are you laughing at your phone?" I touched my forehead and hers. "Temperature is normal. What's so funny?"
"This fanfic writer techiebynature who is very funny that I follow on twitter we were talking and she said "you gave me an idea", I reread what I sent her but I don't know what she saw that would spark an idea also she wouldn't share with me no matter how I tried the first time to get the idea but I learned so I just don't ask but today she hit me up asking me to give her a name if I could rename myself what would it be so I said Brooklyn and she wrote me reading this story in the story like the last chapter. Like right now I'm losing it."
"Okay crazy how she does that, alright get in the picture with your cousins, TJ don't do that pose take your lips off Gabby! Thank you. Perfect, say." They all huddled around TJ. "TJ, what are you doing we're supposed to be taking a picture y'all right."
"Yes!"
"Good now say SARAFRI!"
"SAFARI!" Sam snapped the picture. "MIKE, MIKE, MIKE! HUMP DAY!"
"You are a silly bunch and Deja you the oldest why would you join in their silliness."
She smiled laughing. "Auntie I love laughing myself! I couldn't turn that down. Now I can finish the rest of the story to see what they did on the ride the restaurant, since we're on the topic of food and no one comes between me and my food I remember years ago my cousins took at the good size slices of pizza and left the scrawny pieces my brother Benny laughed at me I leapt off the couch punching him in the face, I don't want to do that today. What are we eating?"
"We decided on Mexican food, take out all of your frustrations with the waiter not my wallet this is my treat." She fist bumped the air. "The truck is open grab you a seat, the name of the restaurant is on the GPS send that over to your mother and aunt they should be done with the spa."
"Will do! What happened?! In the words of my Aunt Mary, oh lord!"
"Mary does say that a lot." I cupped my hands around my mouth. "Stevie we're waiting on you!"
"Go ahead I'll meet up with you PawPaw wants to go for a ride on the camel so I'm going to buy something for Denise since she didn't stay because she was too afraid of being the lunch of the animals, y'all think she might like a camel or a llama."
"Daddy if it's not real it won't be fun but I'll say the llama that's the first thing and only thing she fed. Don't forget to take video!"
"I want that Mexican restaurant you see coming in here, right?
"My favorite part of the safari was the alpacas, zebras, deer, elk, giraffes, bison, reindeer, camel, giraffe he reminds of ToysRUs, gibbons, hogs, various antelope, birds, and even the alligator and the ultimate favorite part was riding Mike the camel!"
"I liked all of that but my favorite part was this!" He turned up the volume on this tablet. "Yup my mommy screaming."
"Stevie, Deja, and JT roll up your windows! AAahhhh who dropped a carrot on me! Oh No he's on my back! My neck my back! You know I'm trying to live with all my limbs and digits. I can't with none of y'all."
"That's it! We'll see you there." Sam tugged his ear. "I thought I heard Denise screaming."
"Daddy you heard it right JT filmed Aunt Denise, are you going to upload it YouTube I'm sure you'll get a bunch of likes, views, and comments you should name it!"
"Yeah, I'll name it Hatchet Warrior Princess loses it at safari! Yeah, just long onto the car Wi-Fi and I'll up upload it. This gonna make it to Ellen! I know it!"
"Baby you said that you had some new music that you wanted to share; you have a truck full of ears…."
"Hahaha oooh they getting it in! Go ahead!" WE came to a stop looking back at Deja. "Oooh, what? How could you? Whew it's all good! What? Something happened, I'm not telling but…"
"Okay, we're about to a song from Aunt Mercedes, are you going to listen to it butt face or look at your phone thinking about you and Preston son."
TJ fell over. "My boo got a mini mini boo on the way! Aunt Denise isn't going to like that!"
"TJ it's okay Deja only had a dream about Preston son Preston Harrison Adams Jr., did you ever find out if he was the perfect blend?"
"Turn around and to answer your question, I did not enough about my soon to be flourishing love life."
"The name of the song is, Worth the Wait." I hit play watching their reactions all of them were bobbing their heads Alex J was kicking up a storm. "Alex, J you like this one? Go ahead baby."
"This song is about me, isn't it?" Sam smirked biting his lip. "Like what I'm doing."
"Sam, there are children in this vehicle and it's that reason of me being on that got me like this." He touched my stomach. "You love touching my belly don't you?"
"Yes, I do I put that baby up in there I wouldn't have it any other way." He stole a kiss "Raise hands or kick if you love mommy and Aunt Mercedes song?" All hands raised AJ is kicking up a storm. "That song is a hit! Everyone out the car."
We exited the car dancing. "Did we miss the invitation to the Evans Family Line? Where is everyone else?"
"They are coming soon PawPaw wanted to ride the camel and you're just in time we were listening to one of my songs and Alex J was kicking up a storm, this baby girl loves some music."
"Does she kick about when you singing or others sing to her?"
"She does, Mary go ahead and sing her a song I heard you got vocals. What song are you going to sing?"
Alex J's POV
Yeah Aunt Mary I heard you do a little something, something what are you going to sing to me 'cause I got vocals too and I'm already tweaking songs. How did you like my Circle of Life remix?
"Um…I love this artist and I'm sure Alex J will to, no place for beginners or sensitive hearts when sentiment is left to chance no place to be ending but somewhere to start…"
So far so good I like…huh?
"No need to ask he's a smooth operator smooth operator, smooth operator smooth operator."

Sam's POV
"Mary you have the gift." I tightly hugged her. "I might be able to get it in tonight." Mercedes slapped on my arm. "What? I'm sorry I'm not like PawPaw just airing all our business."
"Yes, you are remember when we found out the gender, and you blurted out that you haven't any in weeks."
"Oh yeah but that was then."
"And this is now. Samuel Thaddeus Evans, zip it." I zipped my lips throwing away the imaginary key. "How was the spa?"
"Mercedes you should have joined us then us three could haven't chatted about this foolishness they dragged me to. Did you know about this?"
"Yes, I did. Deja shared the idea with me when she stopped by for breakfast. She said had a taste for bacon. How was the spa?"
"Relaxing, invigorating, calming, and peaceful."
"Amazing release, exhilarating, and tranquil I can do that every day but did kind of ruin it for some folk because I was reading this story where the mother Cyan took her daughter Brooklyn to the hospital because thought something had happened I went into a laughing fit. Deja don't that sound like you and me." She pinched Deja nose. "Look at daughter look just like me."
"That's it's because it is us mom! Jenny flipped it!"
"She did! Did you get far because the app was acting up the app is convenient if its working I've been using it since I started talking two sane and a crazy I'm one we're the sanes you know who the crazy one is. Don't tell me but I did read it down to Cyan's POV and the way she captured the crazy oh I need pray hands clapping emojis standing ovation that was awesome."
"I know mom did you dream about Tank…." She pulled out her hatchet Mary stopped the watch. "How long was that Aunt Mary?"
"She got it down to 2 seconds! A new best! HWP!"
Tank's POV
"So do you get that vibe from him that he's a PI or not?" I scratched my chin. "Tank, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking is he telling the truth or not, next time we come over we're going to stay for a little while drink and eat let's get him drunk let him spill the beans."
A/N: I'll leave it right here. Let me explain Deja sent me a DM where she said "I know let's hope when I re-read the chapter I won't be busting out laughing at the restaurant", the idea from the tweak sparked from this. Until tomorrow iamJLS
