The sun rose and everything fell. Marty woke up and everything was on the floor. He noticed his brother Alex was gone. He saw nothing but underwear underneath his brother’s bed and white sheets covered with something that looked like lemonade had fallen on to it. “Ha. No wonder he’s never had a girlfriend! He needs to learn how to hide his things like me.” Marty said as he was getting ready for his hot new date. He searched his closet and tried out different outfits, ignoring everything that had fallen in his and his brother’s room. In between each outfit he starred at himself and comment on how dreamy he looks. “I literally should just wear all outfits at once.” Marty said while drooling over himself. He wondered where Alex ran off to. Marty said, “Alex probably went to go buy more lemonade ha.” Marty impatiently got bored of looking for an outfit and decided to go eat breakfast. When he stepped out of his room everything was on the floor. The new television that Marty bought was in the bathtub, the living room was no longer called a living room because there wasn’t a sofa. The sofa was in the backyard, and all the kitchen wear was on the floor. The milk became rotten. Marty’s face was filled with confusion, but slowly it turned into laughter. He laughed so loud that one of the elder neighbors were yelling, “Shut up! You sound like a crazy old man.” Another neighbor shouted, “What the flippin earsplitting SpongeBob laugh is going on over there!?” In one house alone, there he was, he was in his house dying of laughing and twitching on the floor. Marty couldn’t control his laughter, even one of his farts creped up on him. He laughed for almost half an hour and just lied there on the floor, looking up at the ceiling. Marty smiled and said to himself, “So this is life huh, always surprising me.” He realized that he hasn’t eaten and his hot date was on her way to his house because he promised her a day with him, her, and the new television that he bought at Wal-Mart. He was still lying there on the floor. The door bell rang; he didn’t know what to do. He thought of only two plans either hide or open the door. As ruthless as he is, he decided to open the door. Not because he wants to let her in, but because he wanted to ask her a question, “Haha so do you think I’m hot like in all seriousness though?” Ignoring the question, the date peaked into his house and angrily said, “Omg that’s not a nice way to welcome muah. Well, whatever my boyfriend is waiting for me at home anyway. Toodles!” Marty closed the door, made his way back to the floor, until he had this thought of dancing. He wanted to get his groove on and clean. He ran to the backyard to grab his jukebox. Then he put the song “Funky town” that came out on the Shrek movie. Marty grabbed the broom and started shaking his butt, flowing with the beat of the music. Not only did he make the house sparkle, but he even thought of working with interior design. “I honestly don’t know who did this mess and I really don’t care, but all I know is that I scrub the floors like Cinderella.” As the melodic music lingered in the house Alex starred at the door handle and slowly turned the knob.
