Hey! Ok, so this whole thing is actually something that happened to my co-author dreams-and-schemes86 (plus her sister) and I.

Chapter One

It was hot.

It was crowded.

It wasn't, in any way, shape or form comfortable, reasonable or even bearable.

So, no, going to a roller skating park, an hour away, in a fifteen passenger van, with no air conditioning, accompanying by my two nemeses was NOT on my wish list.

Call me quirky.

Of course, having my fabtabulus friends helped. Nudge, Angel, JJ, Kate, Star and Manda are about the most amazing people I have EVER met in my life because 1) they are as obsessed with unicorns as I am. 2) They agree with my longstanding theory that being normal is COMPLETELY over rated. I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to have a pet unicorn named Dave and a (something) named Fluffernutter? And no matter what people tell you, it is indeed possible to catch this crazy disease so YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Just to clear that up for you.

Oh, and my name is Max but shh, that isn't important right now. Despite the fact this story is about me. ANYWHO…

We were on our way to a book club event in the cities. Yes, I joined a book club. This can be translated to "Mom forced me to join a book club". It was actually fun though. The books we read were classics and most of them (besides Smokey the Cowhorse which is THE WORST BOOK EVER WRITTEN) were good. Mrs. K, the adult supervision, made sure of that. But anyways, we meet once a month, we pay dues, eat lots of yummy food and hang out. Like right now.

Except, the only thing I could think about was Dylan who was relentlessly whispering in my ear, "Pineapple, pineapple, pineapple, PINEAPPLE!"

Have you ever had someone mouth something totally stupid into your ear thousands and thousands of times, for minutes on end, never stopping to take a breath? It isn't as pleasant as one might think.

"Do you HAVE a death wish?" I snapped. "Not that I'm complaining. Having you magically disappear would actually make my life bearable for once, but geez."

Amanda tsked her tongue mournfully. "I'll write your obituary," she offered.

"I'll help!" Nudge squealed.

"Oh, wow," Star sighed.

Dylan propped his feet up on my seat. "Oh, admit it, Max, you would DIE if I wasn't here to torment you," Dylan retorted smugly, crossing his arms over his chest. "You would cry for weeks."

I pushed his feet off and glared at him. "Let's test that theory. You die and if your prediction comes true I'll pay you three hundred bucks. It's a win win situation. What do you say?"

He tapped his cheek and thought about it. "Three hundred bucks would be nice but…nah. No, thanks."

"One could hope," I muttered under my breath.

I stared out the window, counting the cracks in the road. Yeah, I was bored. But in case you're wondering, there are exactly one hundred. Just so you know.

Paradise by Coldplay thumped through the speakers and I thanked God for letting me get a window seat. I felt like I at least had a little more breathing room.

"I'm sexy and I know it!" I heard Gazzy scream from behind me. Dylan and Sam snickered and the girls groaned.

"No," I told him, turning around to get a better view. He did a little happy dance that frankly freaked me out. "You're ugly and you show it," I corrected him.

He scowled at me and I shrugged. "Honesty is the policy," I told him reassuringly.

He merely stuck out his tongue.

I snickered at his immature action and resumed looking out the window and counting the cracks 189...195…200

"MAAAAAAAAAXXXXX! MAXMAXMAXMAX MAAAAAAX!" heard Dylan yell from the back.

I spun around "what!" I hissed.

"Hi" He said with a toothy grin.

I hit him on the side of the head.

Gosh guys can be so annoying sometimes… ok, who are we kidding here? They are annoying all the time.

"Ok guys! We will be there in around 10 minutes." Mrs. K shouted from the front.

A deafening cheer arose and I mentally did a little happy dance with myself.

Nudge spun around form where she was sitting in the front and shouted "KODAK MOMENT!" and snapped a picture.

Ten agonizing minutes later, we finally arrived at the forsaken Roller Garden.

"Let me out, LET ME OUT!" I screamed, pushing JJ and Kate out of the seat and jumping out the door.

"I'm FREE!" I yelled, doing an epic heel kick, followed by my amazing signature move, The Butterfly.

Dylan jumped out next and muttered, "That was just awkward for everybody."

I gave him a cheesy grin. "Oh, you just WISH you could be as awesome as I am."

Mrs. K rounded us up and announced in a loud and very serious voice, "Ok, here are the rules: there will be NO harassing of the staff. NO pushing little kids down. And most importantly-,"

But me being me, I cut her off screaming "WAIT! Dave isn't here yet! DYLAN! What did you do to Dave?" I accused viciously, looking wild eyed.

Dylan looked at me like I was crazy…but then again I did just accuse him of stealing my pet unicorn…so…maybe I was a little odd… NAAAAAAH, that can't be it.

Mrs. K ignored my little outburst and continued "And MOST importantly, Max, NO accusing random strangers of stealing your pet unicorn…other than that, just…don't blow anything up…"

And with that, we marched into the Roller Garden, and yes, we found Dave. He was behind a bush taking pictures of a cute female unicorn (CREEPER)

OH and yes, Dave the unicorn is totally real. And he wants you to REVIEW!
