A Dream ruined by a Nightmare

“There she was just walkin’ down the street, singin’, ‘do wah diddy, diddy dum diddy do’”, the most popular song of the early 60’s, was stuck in Laurie’s head while she skated herself to work in her new roller blades. She breezed by her neighbors and friends saying a gentle and sweet “Hello” to each person she saw. As she got lost in the song she began to sing aloud down the sidewalk when she ran into her crush. Before she could fall to the ground he caught her in his tan and toned muscular arms. While in the comfort and safety of his arms, the two made eye contact with each other. She starred into his majestic and mysterious green eyes and managed to apologize for running into him with a polite “I’m oh so sorry Landon!” With his charming self he chuckled and answered back with a nonchalant “It’s okay my pretty lady”, she timidly blushed because she had now made a horrible first impression of herself. After Landon swept her off her feet he carefully put Laurie back on her feet. Landon then asked, “Would you like to go for a shake at The Plop?” Laurie replied with “Oh golly Landon! I would be delighted to do so!” It was decided that Landon would pick Laurie up at her house at 7 o’clock in his new 1967 Bonneville.

 Continuing on her way to go to work at The Diner she flew right through the doors with a smile on her face. Her coworker Rhonda immediately skated over to Laurie and asked why she was in such a cheerful mood. Laurie smiled and told Rhonda she had a date with the man of her dreams. It seemed as if her shift went by forever but when the clock finally hit 5:30 Laurie rapidly grabbed her stuff and skated as fast as she could back to her house to get ready for her milkshake date with Landon. She arrived at her house and hurried to her room where she took a shower. After her shower Laurie then put on her makeup so eloquently moving her blush brush so gently and perfectly across her cheeks. She then styled her hair with a headband and some loose curls on her Carmel light brown hair. Laurie put together the most astonishing outfit she could and she looked gorgeous. The clock struck 7 and Laurie anxiously waited for Landon to ring the doorbell. Nevertheless Landon rang the doorbell a few minutes later.

Landon introduced himself to Laurie’s family. Then shortly after Laurie and Landon drove off to go share a milkshake. They walked into the restaurant and sat down. Landon whispered, “Laurie, you sure do look beautiful in that sundress of yours.” Laurie once again blushed and responded with, “Oh why thank you kind Landon.” Their waitress came to their table, giving them a milkshake when suddenly Landon in shocked dropped the milkshake on the floor, recognizing his ex-girlfriend Rhonda was serving them.
