Reality #3

Once upon a time, when Holly and Landon were dating for the first time, Landon made a special trip to Salt Lake to visit Holly.  They had a wonderful day filled with fun and adventure.  They met up with some of Landon's friends to have dinner and to see the very last Harry Potter movie in 3D!  After that, they went to McDonald's to get a little treat.

That weekend, Landon had received special permission to bring the beloved Porsche down to Salt Lake in order to impress Holly and woo her.  It kind of worked.  She thought he was pretty hot in that thing. But he's also hot not in it, too.

Now this particular McDonald's was in a pretty sketchy part of downtown.  It is right next to Pioneer Park, a super creepy place to be at night because all of the bums and drunkards and druggies hang out there and sleep there.

So Landon and Holly and their friends were enjoying their ice cream when all of a sudden this scary black man came up and started chatting with them.  Holly also noticed that this man smelled kind of funny, not like he hadn't showered in a while but more like he'd been rollin' and then smokin' some doobies and perhaps some other stuff, too.  He asked them for some money.  They said they didn't have any but they could buy him something to eat.  But he still didn't want that.

Then he went on this little rant of how he was underprivileged and they had lots of opportunities ahead of them.  He then happened to look out the window and see the beloved Porsche parked in the parking lot and looked right at Landon and asked him if that was his car.  Landon quickly blatantly lied to the man.  And I'm sure Heavenly Father forgave him because if not, they probably would've been shot.  And that would have been sad.

Eventually, the man left.  Holly and Landon and their friends quickly finished their ice cream.  They said their goodbyes inside the restaurant.  Then Landon instructed Holly to get in the car as quickly as possible and he wasn't going to be a gentleman and open the door because he didn't want them to die.  She forgave him for that because she didn't want him to die.

The end.
