Trio doing something right for a change
I can imagine that there will come a time when the
trio will succeed by not making Jim angry. They'll be
helpful and not screw things up. No pun intended. In
other words they'll eventually succeed in repairing
things such as motorcycles.
--------
One day, while Jim was asleep on the couch, the
skunkette trio sneaked back into the garage to take
one last crack at repairing Jim's motorcycle. With a
book on "Motorcycle Repair and Upgrades"in hand they
set out to surprise Jim by proving to him that they
weren't just a bunch of socially-impaired misfit
screw-ups.
Three hours later and with the right tools and
equipment the ladies full of oil and grime stood back
to admire their work.
Jim courtesy of hearing a great deal of noise was
forcibly awakened and wondered what the trio was up to
this time. With blood boiling in his veins, he stormed
back into the garage wondering out loud what the girls
were doing to his bike this time around.
The girls fearing Jim was on another one of his
warpath rampages shrink into the right side corner of
the garage.
Right before Jim said another word, he just stood
and stared in complete amazement at what the
skunk-girls did to his motorcycle.
The motorcycle had a new look thanks to the girls.
The motorcycle was given a 600horsepower
turbo-ignition engine system, with a top speed of
200mph.
The seat was now configured to hold four individuals
instead of one and it had a built in 400-Watt speakers
with a mp-3, cd player-radio.
He slowly walked toward the tricked out motorcycle
and caressed the handlebars, took out motorcycle keys
from his pocket and put it in the ignition. Jim then
proceeded to sit on the main seat of the Turbo-cycle
and turned the engine from off to on. With a loud
roar, the engine came to life.
As he sat there with the engine revving beneath him,
he turned and looked at the girls and calmly asked
Lori what type of fuel does the Turbo-cycle use. She
replied "propane". He looked at her and said
"Propane, my motor cycle now takes propane as a fuel"?
Lori preparing herself for an outburst of biblical
proportions quietly said "yes" and looked down.
Jim realizing for the first time what has happened
turned off the engine got off the motorcycle and
walked over to the girls and just looked at them.
He took his right arm and gave Lori a cordial hug.
He whispered into her left ear "Thank-you", Lori
looked up in surprise and saw him smiling. She and the
other two ladies smiled back.
Jim then took two steps back and said " Once you
girls clean up the mess in the garage and just as well
you get yourselves cleaned up, I'll give you a ride on
my motorcycle".
The girls looked at each other in surprise that they
weren't going to be reprimanded and smiled back at
Jim.
Lori, Onyx and Natasha nodded at Jim and proceeded
to clean up the garage with Jim helping.
Four hours later after cleaning up the garage and
taking their own hot showers to cleanse themselves of
the dirt and grime, Jim, Lori, Natasha, and Onyx sat
in their pre-assigned seats and with a loud roar from
the Turbo-cycles engine they road off into the late
afternoon light to enjoy a romp on the streets of
Florida.
Two hours later with all four yahooing and laughing
Jim drove his Turbo-cycle up the drive way and back
into the garage.
After Jim turned off the engine and put down the
kickstand all 4 got off the vehicle and Onyx and
Natasha walked back into the house. Lori walked to
the garage door and closed it. Lori took a look at Jim
smiled and fast walked to catch up to the other two
ladies.
Jim turned around to face the motorcycle. He turned
his head left and right in a gesture of saying no a
few times and could only smile while trying to
suppress a laugh. He turned around to face the door
that led into the house and walked out of the garage
and closed the door to the garage.
Jim for the first time was a very happy man.
