The Temptations Fan Fiction

[lightdion]

Sorry if I threw any kind of confusion toward anyone.. ;D
But I thought that we should start a thread that is for our Fan Fiction...
Please don't shoot me!!

[lightdion]

Okay, since I have nothing else to do, I'll start another one...
P.S: It's my first time doing Fan Fiction, so it won't be that good...
Note: If it was okay, I put some familiar names in it (Hint, Hint ) Anywhoo.....

....... Once back in the year 1967, when Motown was the King of Sound and Hits were scored to the label left and right, there was a group that stood out as the "Gems" of the label.
This all- male quintet group had brought Motown wonderful, long-lasting Hits such as "My Girl", "The way you do the things you do", "The Girls aight with me", "Aint to proud to beg".... the list went on. To go along with those wonderful voices was there ablity to have the smoothest moves put out there and with all of them being over six feet, there good looks could charm any woman in there right mind or make all the fellas wanna be taller in order to wear glasses and have boyishly good looks that this group all contained.
The group is none other than the Tempting "Temptations". That year, the line-up contained David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams and Otis Williams.

.....One day while Otis was at home relaxing, Berry Gordy called him reminding him that they were gonna be performing on TV that next day on the Apollo. He told him the time that the group were to be at the airport early the next morning to fly to New York plus other details. After Otis took in all of Berry's instuctions, he assured Berry that they had the steps to the song "Get Ready" down in their sleeps. It was a good thing he told Berry that because Berry quickly explained to him that they were to perform "Aint to Proud to beg" at their performance. Shocked, Otis whined that the group hadn't learned any kind of dance routine from "Aint to Proud" yet and that it would be impossible to do the song without a routine. Berry had no sympathy for him and told him that they had better come up with something in the next 24 hours because there was no way in hell he could contact Apollo to change the song with the band and what not. After he hung up with Berry, he immediately called up the rest of the group to come to his house ASAP for an emergency practice-after groaning and hitting his head against the coffee table first ;D ;D
.... Later on that day, Otis sat with his head in his hands "Lord, what are we gonna do" he prayed. "How are we going to come up with a three minute routine by tomorrow"? Blue complained who arrived first as usual.
"How in the hell did Berry not know that we didn't have the steps to "Aint to proud" down yet?" Otis asked. "Man, this could take all night. if were even lucky to get a routine tonight!!" He took a swig of whiskey. He wasn't a heavy drinker, but gave into the bottle when he under pressure. Blue sighed "Look O, don't let this get to you too much. I'm sure we'll get something once Eddie, Paul and, Ruff shows up" Otis set the drink aside"Ruff is another problem too." You know he hasn't shown up to the last TWO rehearsals. He sings lead on this song, and needs the most practice since he's up, front and center." "Well, did you tell him that?" Blue asked. "Of course I did, just twice as loud" Otis scoffed. "He 'assured me that he would be here". "Then he should be here" Blue said. "You know the last thing Ruff wants to do is make a complete ass out of himself"
"You got that right" Otis concured. It was always like Blue to use his optimism to make Otis more relived. Just then, Paul and Eddie barged in, enraged by their unplanned practice. "What the hell kind of steps can we learn in less than 24 hours"? was Eddie's greeting. "We were hoping the two of you would know"! Otis replied. Everyone turned to their fellow- group choreographer, Paul for their answer. But Paul was too busy taking gulps of the Whiskey that Otis had put aside earlier. "Paul..." Eddie began. "What"? Paul questioned them. "Aint no harm in taking a little to get my mind working on a routine" He smiled. "Whatever man" Otis disregarded him. The group had enough problems as it was and wasn't ready for another. "Well, since we're waiting for RUFF, can I get y'all anything?" Eddie's hard expression softened as his put his hand over his stomach. "Now that you mentioned it, Iam kinda hungry. You got any beans ang cornbread"? Otis and Blue looked at each other and shooked thier heads. Even thought he was the skinniest of the group, Eddie aka Cornbread ate more than all of them put together. "I don't know about beans and cornbread, but I've got a few stuff that you can throw together in the fridge" Otis informed him. As Eddie whipped up something, Paul began to figure out some routines and after they all ate, he began to teach them bits and pieces.......
As time passed by, they all began to look at thier watches, getting worried by the minute.Four hours passed and they had to be at the airport by 7:ooam. As they took a break, a nervous Otis called David, but he didn't answer his phone.
"Well is he there"? Paul anxiously asked. "NO!!" Otis belted out."I knew he wouldn't show up, cause he's done it to us before!!" "I can't believe we working hard here, while Ruff is being a usual "Pain in the butt"!" Paul concluded. "Man he's gotta show up"!! Eddie concluded. He pulled out a cigarette and took a stressful puff. "Call again." Now even Blue began to worry. "Man, why even bother, the cats not at home knowing that we are in a bind" He sighed and sat on the couch. Paul followed.
Otis began to get angrier by the minute "RUFF WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU??? He demanded........................

OMG, ok. I'm posting it!! Here's my warning/intro thingy: The name Honey Daniels I took from the movie "Honey"(Please don't sue!!). The name Jack Daniels I made up so I ain't taking it from the alcohol. Sams Club is a real grocery store that I put in there(Don't sue!!). Um I made up the story completley so it isn't true at all & I didn't steal anyones ideas(to my knowledge, if I did I apologize deeply!!!!). I didn't do any historical research really so maybe racism wasn't that bad at that time in Detroit(I didn't live back then so I don't know). Many things are probably historically incorrect so if that bugs you I'm sorry. The "ebony & ivory" nicknames I did not make up cause they were used. Real life characters thus far in my story are: David Ruffin, Jimmy Ruffin, Earline Ruffin, Mama Rose, & Melvin Franklin. If I missed one, my bad. The rest of the characters are from my imagination, yes I used the name Honey Daniels but read the story & you will clearly see she ain't no Jessica Alba =) I admit to the story being a "Mary Sue". Read above posts to see what a "Mary Sue" is if you don't know.That's it for now I think. Read & review my story & enjoy. I hope to be posting more soon =) Oh & yes it's long!!

Chapter one : David’s Story

It was 1958, Detroit Michigan. It was like any other day, get up, get dressed, go to school, get home, do homework, eat dinner, go to bed. And why should it be different then any other day? Because it was Friday, & after Friday is the best part of the week; the weekend. School had just gotten out & me my girlfriends couldn’t be any more relieved, we’d get our homework done that night & enjoy the rest of the weekend. So Fridays were always different then any other days, so why should this Friday be any different then other Fridays? Just because....

*School Bell Rings*

Honey-Oh my gosh can ya’ll believe it? Two days of freedom awaiting us!
Daisy-Honey you say that every weekend & every weekend ya we get to relax but nothing exciting ever happens like you say it will.
Honey-But I can feel it ya’ll, this weekends gonna be different!!
Meagan-Uh-huh, isn’t that what you told us last weekend? I believe so.
Honey-You’ll see, the both of you & when something different and exciting happens this weekend you both owe me five dollars!
*Both girls laugh*
Daisy-The day we give you five dollars is the day the colored people join our schools!
Meagan-Don’t joke about that, or someday it might happen!
Daisy-You worry to much Meg.
Honey-Well when that day happens you two owe me some money.

*David tries to pull Jimmy away, Jimmy resists*
Jimmy-And what’s your name sweetheart?
Honey-Her name is none of your concern, our names are none of your concern! So why don’t you follow your brothers example & show some decency!
Jimmy-Oh where are my manners?! I’m Jimmy & this is my little brother David. And who might you ladies be?
Honey-That’s better, but our names our names are still no concern of yours so why don’t you & your brother move along.
David-Ya man, Ma’s probably wondering were we are anyways. Ladies I apologize for his behavior &....
(Two Police men approach the teenagers)

Honey-It was alright mama.
Honeys dad(Mr. Jack Daniels)-Anything interesting happen?
Honey-No father, just a regular Friday.
JD-You were a bit late coming home, why was that?
Honey-Oh, I’m sorry. I hadn’t realized the time, me & the girls stopped to get a sarsparilla at the malt shop; I’m sorry if I worried you two.
DD-Your forgiven, we just wondered where you were.
Honey- Father, may the girls spend the night tomorrow? We wanted to go to the theater & have a girls night.
JD-I don’t see why not. Any homework?
Honey-I have to read a chapter of Pride & Prejudice but that’s all.
JD-Diane what do you think?
DD- I say alright, as long as you come run some errands with me tomorrow first.
Honey-Of course mama. Thank you both.
*JD & DD smile at their daughter*
Honey-May I be excused now, I better get on reading that chapter.
JD-Course.
DD-Wash up before you go to bed!
Honey-Yes mama.
*Kisses both parents on the cheeks & goes upstairs.
~~~~~~~~~~
*At Jimmy & David’s dinner table with their mama. They say an evening prayer & eat their dinner*
Jimmy & David’s mother(Earline Ruffin)-Why’d it take you two boys so long to get home today?
David-Well you see mama, Jimmy here....(Jimmy stomps hard on David’s foot under the table)
ER-Jimmy what?
David-Uh, he was thirsty, we were thirsty so we stopped at the malt shop for a cola before we came home.
Jimmy-Sorry if we worried you mama, we were just so thirsty!
ER-Uh-huh. How was your day at school? Any homework?
David-I just have to study for a history test ma’am.
ER-Jimmy?
Jimmy-None ma’am.
ER-Good then when we get back from running errands tomorrow you can come home & mow the lawn before you head off to work, & David can study for his test.
*Both sons in unison, “Yes ma’am”*

[davidruffinlover]

Chapter 3: *Sam’s Club Grocery store. Honey & her mother, David by himself*
DD-Honey I have a hair appointment, do you think you could do the shopping on your own?
Honey-Sure mama.
DD-Just follow what’s on the list, here’s the money. See you at home. *hands her cash, leaves.*
~~~~~~~~~~
David-“Follow the list” she says, “Jimmy & I will go to the hardwood store”; leave me doing the shopping! Ugh, lets see. Chicken, pound of beef, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, loaf of bread, cheese, oatmeal, apples....what? Ah hell no, that’s it! I’m adding my hot sauce to the list!
*Bakery section, Honeys getting two loafs of fresh bread. David comes up with his cart beside her*
Baker-What can I get for you sir?
David-Loaf of fresh bread please.
Baker-Coming up. You need anything else Honey?
Honey-No, thank you kindly sir.
Baker-In that case, your loafs will be done momentarily. *Disappears into the back*
David-So outta curiosity what is your name?*Trying to get Honeys attention but she doesn’t notice* Ma’am?*He taps her shoulder, she turns slightly startled to face him*
Honey-I....oh it’s you.
David-Uh yes Ms. I just wanted to know your name.
Honey-And why would you want to know my name?
David-Well uh, so I could apologize to you properly for my brothers behavior yesterday afternoon.
Honey-Oh, I see. Honey, Honey Daniels.
David-Nice to officially meet you Ms. Daniels.
Honey-Lord, you know my name now you might as well use it! Just call me Honey please.
David-Of course,....Honey. I’m....
Honey-Your David, I remember your brother introduced you yesterday.
David-Good memory.
Honey-Thank you, now I told you my name in an exchange for an apology....if my memory serves correctly that is.
David-It does indeed. Honey, I just wanna apologize for Jimmy’s behavior yesterday. See he fancies himself a ladies man & can get, carried away. But he really meant you & your friends no offense or harm.
Honey-Well Mr...
David-Oh Ruffin, David Ruffin.
Honey-Well Mr. Ruffin, that’s an acceptable apology if I’ve ever heard one. Your brothers forgiven, for my part anyway. I don’t know if Daisy & Meagan will feel the same.
David-Thank you. But, since you insist I use your name, I insist you use mine.
Honey-Alright then, David.
Baker-Your bread Honey! Sir, yours will be ready in a minute.
Honey-Thank you very much. *Puts bread into her cart & begins to walk away but turns to David first*
Honey-So David, your brother fancies himself a ladies man does he?
David-Yes, he does.
Honey-Hmm, well I think your better at being a “ladies man” then he. *Smiles, winks, & walks away, David smiled back. Baker comes with David’ bread & he finishes his shopping; Honey continues hers. Both end up at the same register as David drops a bottle of hot sauce into his cart(which accidentally falls into Honeys)*
Honey-What, you following me now?*Giggles*
David-What a pleasant surprise, Ms. Honey Daniels, we meet again.
Honey-You didn’t answer my question, David.
David-No, I ain’t following ya. *Gives small smile*
Honey-Bet you say that to all the girls. * Smiles back*
*Both groceries are all rung up & they walk out the store together*
Honey-Well, good day to you David.
David-And to you Honey.
*Both go separate ways. Honey arrives home, her ma in the kitchen*

[davidruffinlover]

Chapter 4: Honey-Mama, I’m home. Help me with the groceries please!
DD-In the kitchen dear. *They unload groceries*
DD-I thought I told you to stick with the list.
Honey-I did!
DD-What’s this then?*Holds up bottle of hot sauce*
Honey-I didn’t buy...oh no.
DD-Oh no what?
Honey-There was a man at the register with me, our groceries must’ve gotten mixed up. I can go return it to the store if you like & get our money back.
DD-Well please do, hot sauce! Of all things...
Honey-I’ll be back in time for lunch! *Runs out with the hot sauce*
*Running to the store, collides with a young man & his groceries & both fall, David on top of her*
Honey-Owww!
David-It was entirely my fault miss, I....you!
Honey-You....
(Officer from across the street)
Officer-You there! Get off of her, get off of her!!
*David scrambles to get off her, cop kicks him off*
Officer-Damn nigger! *Kicks him twice more, & almost again but Honey interferes*
Honey-Stop it, leave him alone!! *Crawls over to David as the officer backs off*
Officer-Stay away miss, he might attack you again! *Tries to pull her away*
Honey-Don’t touch me! He didn’t attack me, I ran into him you, you buffoon!!
Officer-But miss I....
Honey-Go! Before I tell the sheriff what you’ve done, just go! *Officer walks off,. Honeys bent over David*
Honey-Oh my god, are you alright?*Takes his head in her hands* David? Mr.Ruffin?!
David-I’m alright, I....am I in heaven?
Honey-No, no, your on Main Street on the ground.
David-Then how am I staring at an angel? *A smirk spreads across his dirt smudged face*
Honey-Oh you got jokes huh? Your fine...your glasses on the other hand....*She reached for them, lenses knocked out & broken* well, they might just be in worse shape then you are.
David-That’s great. *Groans as he sits up holding his ribs*
Honey-You need a doctor, I’ll take you...
David-No, no. What I need is to get home with these groceries.
*Honey helps him stand up & puts his groceries back into his cart*
Honey-What you need is for me to walk you home since you can’t see, very well that is.
David-Ya, I need that. Thank you.
Honey-I’ll need directions, to your home that is so tell me were to go. *She walks him home, him giving her directions along the way. They reach David’s home. A small house.*
David-Mama, Jimmy! I’m back.
Jimmy-Bout time man, our grandma....what the hell happened to you?! Ivory! What you doing here? And with my brother?!
Honey-I....
ER-What is all the commotion?! David you shoulda been here twenty minutes ago....Davis Eli Ruffin, what on earth!!
David-Calm down mama I’m fine.
Honey-Mrs. Ruffin I....
ER-Who are you & what happened to my son?!
Honey-Well you see....
ER-Spit it out or I’ll have to assume you did this!!
David-Mama!
Honey-No ma’am, I didn’t do this!
Jimmy-Like hell you didn’t! Bet you had your cop friends from yesterday show him a lesson even though the incident yesterday was my fault!
Honey-Noo!! Look, you can accuse me all you want after we lie him down somewhere. *Supporting a limping David, Jimmy & his mama lead him to lay on the couch. Jimmy goes into the kitchen reappearing with a glass of water for his brother*
ER-You better explain now missy.
Honey-Fine. I saw your son at the grocery store. He was at the same register as I was & our groceries must’ve got mixed up cause your hot sauce ended up in my cart. I was running on the way back to the store to return it & get my money back when I ran into to David here, literally I’m afraid. He landed on top of me, an officer across the street saw & got the wrong idea & kind of....used brute strength to get him off of me. I made the officer back off. Unfortunately, as you can see; your son was hurt & his glasses broken so I walked him home. And here we are.
ER-That’s quite a story missy, why should I believe you?
David-Cause it’s true mama, leave her be. She was just trying to help.
Jimmy-Save your breath bro, I knew she had one of her cop friends attack ya! Damn ivory!
ER-Jimmy! Show respect!!
*Jimmy huffed upstairs*
Honey-I’m truly sorry Mrs. Ruffin. I think David may need a doctor, my family will pay the medical bills & we’ll get him new glasses! Oh & here’s your hot sauce! *honey exclaimed pleadingly*
ER-Lord child he won’t need a doctor, I can bandage him up & he’ll be fine. Hot sauce? David? It wasn’t on the list....
David-Well, I thought it should be....ma’am.
ER-Course you did, well thank miss....
Honey-Daniels
ER-Thank Ms. Daniels for returning it!
David-Thank you Honey.
ER-David! Address her as Ms. Daniels, not your teenage slang!
David-But mama I....
Honey-Uh, you see Mrs. Ruffin it’s my name. Honey, my name is Honey Daniels. And I’m afraid David only respecting my wishes as I requested for him, earlier in the store; to call me by my first name. *Gave David a small smile*
ER-I see. Well thank you Ms. Daniels for helping my son.
Honey-Oh, it was my pleasure really. Besides, David’s been very kind to me so it’s the least I could do. Now, if you’ll excuse me I really must be going.
ER-Wait, let me give ya the money I owe you for the hot sauce!
Honey-Oh no, keep it really. I must be going. Goodbye. *She left*
ER-David, how kind have you been to that girl & what incident yesterday? *David explains*

[davidruffinlover]

Chapter 5: *Honey arrives home*
DD-About time you got home young lady! Daisy & Meagan are here to join us &....*Honey joins her family& friends at the table*What happened to you?! *Honey looks at her dirty dress*
Honey-Oh, well I tripped on the way back from the store I’m afraid, but I’m fine.
DD-Well good. Were’s our money back?
Honey-Oh, well see the cashier was an old man & can’t see very well so he was frantically apologizing & I felt sorry for him so I told him to keep the money. I hoped you wouldn’t mind too much....
DD-Well actually....
JD-Course we don’t mind dear, that was very kind of you *Gives his daughter a smile*
*Honey catches the looks of Daisy & Meagan, knowing they knew she was lying.*
Daisy-Honey, why don’t you let Meagan & I take you upstairs & get you cleaned up & see if you’ve managed to scuff yourself. Mrs. Daniels would you mind excusing us?
DD-I suppose not, sounds like a good idea actually. Go ahead girls. *Girls head upstairs & enter Honeys bedroom*
Meagan-Alright, spill you liar, liar pants on fire!
Daisy-Honestly Meg you can be so childish! Honey, you were lying through your teeth down there! What really happened?

Honey-I haven’t the faintest idea what you could possibly be referring to. I don’t lie....
Daisy-Right, & I’m an ebony!
Honey-Daisy!
Daisy-What?
Honey-Don’t use that word.
Daisy-Oh come on! I seem to remember being called ivory yesterday! So what does it matter?
Honey-It just matters to me alright?!
Meagan-Well someone’s being sensitive!
Daisy-More like defensive I’d say. But why would Ms. Not A Care In The World here be defending the colored’s?
Honey-I’m not defending them! I just think that the....name calling on both parts is extremely rude!
Meagan-Speaking of colored’s, those two boys yesterday sure were handsome despite their skin tone *Sighs Meagan in a dreamy voice*
Daisy-I agree, especially the shorter of the two, the one without glasses....the asshole one.
Meagan-I rather think so too, though his attitude was something to be desired.
Honey-Well what about the taller one with the glasses? The one with the attitude which was more desired.
Daisy-He was cute enough, acted like a pussy though. No edge to him, & I like the rebels.
Meagan-I gotta go with Daisy on that one too Honey.
Daisy-Come on Honey? Which one you fancy?
Honey-Well, if I had to pick I’d go with the younger, less asshole of the two; David.
Meagan-How you know his name?
Honey-I know his name cause his brother, Jimmy, told us both their names yesterday.
Daisy-Well ain’t somebody just miss smarty pants!
Meagan-So you like the wimpy one?
Honey-I didn’t say I liked him, I said I’d prefer him! Besides, it’s not like we can date out of our race anyways so it doesn’t matter.
Daisy-Well you have a point there. Hey you never told us what really happened! Spill....
Honey-I tripped & fell.
Meagan-Over what?
Honey-Over, over....*Both girls glaring at her* Oh alright I give, you two know me too well!! I ran into David, literally!
*Daisy & Meagan in unison: “Ohhhh, ow-ow!!” *
Honey-Oh shut up! You two are impossible!
*Daisy & Meagan in unison: “Someone fell for David!”
Honey-Tripped, I tripped!....Well ran into but not fell for!
Meagan-Uh-huh.
Honey-Besides, even if I was interested in him which I’m not! No dating outside our race so drop it!
Daisy-Alright, fine; we’re cool. So, what movie we gonna go see?
Honey-I don’t care. Meagan, you choose.
Meagan-Screw the movies, lets just go out!
Honey-But I told my parent’s we were going to the theater....
Meagan-And we will, just not enter it.

Chapter 6: *Later that night. The girls are wondering aimlessly around town, as are David & Jimmy(Jimmy got outta work). Girls are exiting the malt shop, giggling & such as the boys are walking down the same sidewalk. Honey & girls run into the two boys, Honey bonks heads with the one wearing glasses.*
*David & Honey in unison:”Oww!”*
*Other two girls & Jimmy watch the encounter, David straightens his glasses*
David-You again!
Honey- I’m soo, David? Well, we just keep running into each other don’t we?
David-More like you keep running into me!
*Both give small laugh. Girls & Jimmy clear their throats*
Jimmy-David, you ok man?
David-Ya, ya. I’m cool.
*Daisy & Meagan roll their eyes, Daisy decides to spice it up*
Daisy-Well Honey you said you fell for him but failed to mention you were on first name basis!
*Honey shot her a look that could kill*
David-What?
Honey-Nothing, nothing. Daisy was referring to our little run in earlier is all.
Meagan-Actaully Honey, Daisy here was referring to your little infatuation with David!
*David & Jimmy look at Honey*
Honey-Uh, haha, Meagan your so funny! See she’s referring to my crush on David....David Van Prick, Wyke I mean. The mayors son. *Gives nervous laugh*
Jimmy-Uh-huh. Sure ivory.
David-Jimmy lay off her huh?!
Jimmy-What? She is an ivory, they are ivory!
Daisy- Excuse you, you don’t hear us calling you names!
Jimmy-I hear you folk calling us names everyday missy!
Daisy-My name is Daisy!! Come on Meagan, Honey, lets go. Get away from these ruffians! *Grabs Meagan & Honey by the arms, Honey breaks away*
Honey-Ruffins.
Daisy-What?
Honey-Jimmy & David Ruffin.
Daisy-Aww you know his last name too, how cute now lets go!
Honey-Um, you gals go ahead, I’m gonna use the restroom here real quick & I’ll catch up with you.
Meagan-Fine, come on Daisy! *They huffed off*
Jimmy-Come on David lets leave miss ivory here & be on our way.
David-You know what I gotta use the restroom too.
Jimmy-David you went like twenty minutes ago!
David-Well I gotta go again.
Jimmy-You gotta bladder like a women! *Huffs off*
Honey-You don’t really have to go do you?
David-No & neither do you I’m guessing.
Honey-Great minds think alike....wanna walk?
David-Ya, sure. Why not.
Honey-I have um two apologies for you.
David-You can give me your two apologies if I can ask you one question, ladies first of course.
Honey-Deal. I want to apologize for running into you, again. I’m surprised you don’t have a concussion from me yet. And I want to apologize on behalf of my friends. They were very rude!
David-Both apologies excepted & I have been feeling rather light headed thanks to you, though no full on concussion has occurred. *Honey & David laugh*
David-Can I ask my question now?
Honey-You just asked one. *Laughs*
David-David Van Wyke huh? Or is it prick? *Both laugh*
Honey-Oh, David Van Wyke is correct, I just prefer prick.
David-Now why would you say that if your infatuated with him?
Honey-Eww, lied. I’m not infatuated, atleast not with him!
David-So there’s another David your infatuated with?
Honey-Perhaps....
David-Ah & what’s he like?
Honey-He’s....you’ve gone far beyond your one question!
David-Oh I am sorry, curiosity got the better of me.
*Honey stops walking, as does he. She steps closer to him*
Honey-Hmm, & do tell me Mr. David Ruffin; why would you be so curious as to whom I’m infatuated with? *Silence between the two*
David-Well you see there’s this girl you know, & we keep running into each other & I was wondering if you could put in a good word for me.
Honey-Oh, run into girls often do you? Well I have many friends I’m afraid you’ll have to describe this girl I supposedly know to me.
*They start walking side by side again*
David- Alright, well she’s about your height, has these amazing hazel eyes!
Honey-Oh really, I don’t know if I know anyone with hazel eyes besides myself.
David-That’s odd cause this girl happens to have long, luxurious honey blonde hair like you too.
Honey-Is that so? *David walk in front of her to stop her from walking & they stand*
David-She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, kind too. *Their gazing into each others eyes, Honey swallows hard & is breathing heavy*
Honey-And um, is she....is she white like I am too? Because, I’m afraid if so that this girl your looking for & you can never be. *Short silence*
David-That does interfere a bit doesn’t it?
Honey-I’m afraid so. *Daisy & Meagan across the street*
Daisy-Honey come on we got to get back!
Honey-I have to go. *begins walking away & turns to David* You know I’m sure if color didn’t have to be an issue, that this girl I know would’ve fell head over heals for you! *She smiled at him & ran off with her friends. David, that thought in his mind headed home. Next morning, Sunday.

Yes I also used some lines from the movie & I made the characters act how my story called for so no, Jimmy may not have been that mean nor David that nice; I have NO clue =)

[davidruffinlover]

Oh & some of the language such as "Yo sexy mamas" I don't believe was used back then but I could be wrong....=)

[davidruffinlover]
