30 minutes into your 45 minute drive home, you get a call from dumb and dumber, your two best friends. In your opinion, they were idiots, and they were idiots by choice. You were driving home from some forest where the three of you had just filmed some shots for their short film that you agreed to be in. It was some dumb comedy thing but you thought it was funny so you indulged.

With a raised brow you accepted the call as you drove, not saying anything as Justin’s voice cut in, the two boys laughing nervously. They knew you were hangry and running off of 2 energy drinks. You worked 5am-10:30am then drove straight to them to film. You had snapped on them a couple times during filming. “Hey, beautiful, intelligent, educated best friend..”

Silence is all they had from your end. They knew you were already pissed and you didn’t even know why they were calling. You knew these idiots probably did something stupid. The two boys exchanged looks as they were hunched over the phone together. Monty spoke this time. “So, turns out you were right like you always are and we did in fact forget to turn that light off in the car. So the battery is dead which mean’s we’re stuck on the side of the road near the forest. Tow truck is 3 hours out so.. we were hoping..” He cleared his throat.

When the only answer they received was silence, Justin spoke up again. “We’ll buy you dinner if you come get us. Whatever restaurant you want.”

When there wasn’t an immediate answer Monty spoke up again, listening stuff as he waited for a response. “And we’ll buy you a new shirt or something. Shoes? Sunglasses? Name your price.”
