"Hey Howard, I was thinking, yeah? And I thought that today we should dress up like giant flamingos and skip down the streets singing about bananas. What do ya think?" Vince said, walking into the room and flopping down on the couch next to Howard who was reading a newspaper.
Howard put down his paper and looked at Vince intently. "You really have no brains at all, do you?"
"Oh, come on, Howard. It'll be genius!"
"What exactly would be genius about wearing a pink outfit with a beak and singing about yellow curved fruits?"
Vince rolled his eyes. "You just don't know how to have fun!"
"I beg to differ, sir!" Howard said, offended. "I am the life of the party! When I walk in, the whole room looks my way! Even the music stops!"
"I don't think that's why they're staring at you," Vince said, laughing.
"Whatever. I'm Howard TJ Moon. I don't skip!"
"Come on, Howard! Those outfits cost me a lot of money!"
"Well you're just gonna have to take them back, aren't ya?"
"They're nonrefundable!"
"Well then get some body else to do it with you!"
"Come on, Howard. Please?"
Howard tried his hardest not to look at Vince as he gave his sad puppy-dog look but the baby blues kept calling to him, begging him to look into his eyes. Howard sighed. "Fine," he said.
"Yay!" Vince said, jumping off the couch and taking Howard's hand to pull him off the couch, too.
Howard's heart almost exploded with this physical contact. He automatically pulled his hand away in fear and said, "Don't touch me."
"Alright then come on!" Vince said, expertly hiding his pain from Howard's rejection…again.
