wiping my face.
Dani hugged me tightly. Some times a tight hug can really make you feel better for a second. As if someone really cares for you. Almost as if they're trying to hold you together.
"Sorry." I said, wiping my face.
"Don't be sorry. Don't ever be sorry for what you feel."
"Your really cool you know that Dani?"
"Well I try to be." She said, popping her collar, the tip of her green pony tail flying.
I laughed.

"There they are!" Mallery said.
"About time bitches!" Jenna waved at us.
We shook off the rain and took our usual booth.
"Sorry." I said, hugging Hannah.
"Traffic man." Dani said.
"Traffic in Alaska. That's a first." Hannah said, blowing her straw wrapper at Dani.
"Oh it's on!" Dani said, grabbing a straw.
She blew it, but it didn't work.
Jenna and Mallery laughed.
"It's like this." I said, blowing on mine, hitting Jeena right between the eyes.
"Nice!" Dani said, high fiving me.
"Hey, Vinny, the usual!" Hannah yelled.
The guy that served us last time nodded, and headed to the back.
They jumped into a conversation. I put in a few thoughts, and Laughed, when I felt like it. The pizza came and we dug in.
"Hey Did Lexi hear anything about the show?" Jenna asked.
"Nothing yet."
"She will though." Mallery said.
"Yeah, i tell her that. I think she's pretty upset though."
"Well why haven't the bastards called? Lexi's good." Dani said.
"Right!" Hannah said, tossing a hand to Dani.
Dani made a I know right? Face, and tossed her hand out too.
"They have like 300 to go over."
"Well they should of did her's first is all I'm saying." Jenna said, poking ice with her straw.
"She got the most cheers for her line. I think It was a nice touch that she had us, and not those boring-stick-up-your-ass Models." Hannah said.
I laughed.
"What?" Dani asked.
"My Moms A boring-stick-up-your-ass Model."
"Oh I'm sorry." Hannah said.
"It's okay, that stick is so wedged up there, I think she lost it fifteen years ago."
The girls tossed their heads back, and laughed.
"I'm for real."
"We know you are, that's why It's so funny." Mallery said.
I laughed along with them. We walked through the mall and then we all said goodbye. Dani stopped by her house to get clothes.
"Are you spending the night or moving in?" i asked, as she put a suit case in the back seat.
"Little bit of both." She said, shutting the door.
I smiled, and shook my head.
"Damn, you step out of the car for three seconds you damn drown." She said, staring the car, as I laughed.
We pulled up to the house.
"Hurry! I'm drowning!" I said, as Dani got her suitcase from the car.
"Oh I know right!"
She grabbed my hand and we ran to the door.
"Help We're drowning!" She called.
"In a puddled!" i added.
We laughed as we pushed into the living room.
"Why Is there a bear at your back door? Oh my God, if you tell me he's dancing I will shit my pants right here, and now, Ronan. What the fuck dude?"
"That's Herman the dancing bear. Do you want to feed him?"
"Yeah, chop off your arm."
"What?"
"Well I ain't feeding him mine!" She said.
"Feed Him a hot dog." I said.
Dani took the hot dog. I opened the back door.
Gah!" She called chucking the hot dog.
The hot dog bounced off of Herman's nose and Hit the floor. Herman ate it, and thundered back into the woods.
"That is the craziest thing I've ever seen." She said, still looking at the woods, where she saw Herman last.
"So I'm thinking hot dogs for dinner."
"Oh Ha Ha!" She said, tossing a place mat at me.
We both ended up laughing, doubled over. Maybe it was cause, Herman, the Hot dog, The place mat, or maybe it was cause I was going crazy, and it rubbed off on Dani. Dani woke me up in the middle of the night.
"What's that noise?"
"Herman." i said, rolling over.
"Well that fucking Herman Better knock it the fuck off!" She said, raising her voice at the last part, and throwing the covers over her head.
The scratching continued.
"That's it Herman's going down!" She said, getting up. "Even though he's bigger than me His ass Is going down hard, Whoa, that's not Herman." She said, opening the blinds.
"Not Herman?" i asked, sleepy, rolling out of bed. I walked over. "Not Herman." i nodded.
A moose with big antlers stared at us.
"Go away Mr. Moosey." She said, waving him away.
"Mr. Moosey?" i asked, cutting my eyes to her.
"You got a better plan?"
"Get your Moose ass off my lawn or I'll shoot it!"
The Moose turned and left.
"See?" I said, laying down.
We heard a big thump.
I tossed the covers of, "Mr. Moosey is going down!"
We looked out the window to see Mr. Moosey run full speed, and hit the wall with his antlers.
"See! You made Mr. Moosey mad!" She said, putting on her coat.
"Where the hell are you going?"
"So you can talk to Herman, but I can't talk to Mr. Moosey?"
I grabbed a coat and followed her out side.
"It's 2 in the morning and we're outside, looking for Fucking Mr, Moosey, in our P-fucking- J's." I said.
I had My arm slipped through Dani's as she shined the flash light.
"There he is. Mr. Moosey, will you please go home?" Dani asked.
Mr.Moosey turned to us with death in his eyes. He clawed at the floor.
"Oh fuck that!" I said, running away.
Dani was right behind me, and behind Her Mr. Moosey was closing in.
"Help! mad Moose Mad Moose!" I yelled, running to the house, and laughing.
There was a deep growl, that had Me, Dani, and Mr. Moosey stopping in our tracks. Herman burst through the trees and tackled Mr. Moosey to the floor.
"Oh shit!" I yelled, hand to my mouth.
"Go Herman!" Dani yelled, pumping the air with her fists.
"Go Herman! Get him with a right hook. Or paw." I called.
"Nice one Herman!" Dani called, as Herman hit Mr. Moosey with his claw.
Mr. Moosey came up taking no prisoners. He rammed Herman with his antlers. They circled each other, Herman growling, and Mr. Moosey, making Mr. Moosey noises.
"Alright Ten bucks on Herman." I said.
"Deal, Mr. Moosey has this, did you see the way He rammed Herman."
"Come on Herman!"
"Come on Mr. Moosey, I need that ten dollars!" She called, as they still walked in a circle.
Thunder boomed. Herman and Mr.Moosey ran for the woods.
"Mr. Moosey ran first So Herman wins. Pay up."
"No way! It wasn't a fair fight!"
We looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"We're fucking crazy!" She yelled, as I doubled over.
"Holy fucking shit!" I yelled, between laughs.
It Began to rain, so Like Mr. Moosey and Herman we ran for the Woods. Or house. You get it damn it.

"Did you girls hear that banging last night?" Lexi asked, in the morning.
"Nope." We said, too quickly looking at each other.
"Hey Lexi. Don't worry, you got too much Mad talent to not get a call back." Dani said.
"Thanks Dani." She smiled, pouring herself a cup of coffee.
We all vegged out. Hannah pushed the front door in.
"You asstards!" She said, Followed by Jenna and Mallery.
"Not cool guys." Jenna said sitting in between me and Dani.
We watched a movie. Once the movie was over Lexi left, and we went to my room. We told them about last night. They all laughed. We took a hike through the woods, went to the cafe and ate. They all went home. I sat on the couch, and Cookie jumped on my lap. Dani kind of moved in.
"I think we should Hunt Mr. Moosey down." She said.
"I think we should just pray Mr. Moosey runs all the way to Canada." I said, petting cookie.
"Oh come on that's boring."
"We already went for a hike."
"Well let's go again."
We went for another hike. We found a Small clearing with a river, and water fall.
"Look how pretty. Go stand over there. I'll take pictures from your music page."
"Let's go get my guitar though."
We got the guitar and took pictures. We made it back as it was getting dark. No sign of Mr. Moosey. Thank God. I think Dani was a little let down. I on the other hand could give two shits. We slept with out interruption that night. The next morning I woke up with a song on my mind.
"Ronan!" Dani said, tossing a pillow over her face.
"I got a song forming Dani."
"what's it called?"
"I think I'll call it Temporary high."
"Oooh I like that title." She said, sitting up.
"Good then you can record me singing some songs. I want you to sing this with me."
"Okay." She said, lying back down.
"It's done." I announced ten minuets later.
I set up the camera.
"hey little freaks. I'm back At my sisters. I didn't want to come back cause this is where she was. I have two new songs. The first ones called Hey Normal take that, and the second one is called Temporary high. My friend Dani's going to help me with that one. Here goes everything." I smiled.
I sang Hey Normal take that, and then Dani sat next to me.
"This is Dani. Isn't she pretty?"
Dani smiled, and gave a thumbs up.
"Alright. Temporary high. Here we go. Ready Dani?"
"Ready, Ronan."
I pushed play.
"You don't know just how beautiful you are. It's not your fault, no one ever told you so. One day you'll spread your wings and fly. You'll be just fine, when the time comes for you to shine, you'll know it, Oh yeah, You'll Fly away from here, and everyone will look at you as a Temporary high." I sang.
"You don't realize it, but I do. I can see just how wonderful you truly are. You have a power so bright, it blinds their eyes. You'll be just fine, when the time comes for you to shine, you'll know it, Oh yeah, You'll Fly away from here, and everyone will look at you as a Temporary high." Dani sang.
"Now is the time, to let yourself break through, they'll never know you unless you do. I believe in you so you should to. Your so Beautiful, You shine so bright, Your so wonderful, so why can't ya see it? You'll be just fine, when the time comes for you to shine, you'll know it, Oh yeah, You'll Fly away from here, and everyone will look at you as a Temporary high." We sang.
We listened to the music.
"Oh you don't know." she sang.
"Unless you try." I sang.
"Something so perfect shouldn't be kept hidden." I sang.
"Oh Baby can't you see, let your wings break free." Dani sang.
"Your so Beautiful, You shine so bright, Your so wonderful, so why can't ya see it? You'll be just fine, when the time comes for you to shine, you'll know
