A 4th Fluff

******************************

"Sunshine, how shall we celebrate this weekend?"

"I'm not sure what you mean."

"I mean, the 4th of July is traditionally celebrated by consuming mass quantities of charred mammal flesh, beer, potato and/or macaroni salad as well as a bevy of unhealthy snacks and dip. Followed by a noisy display of fireworks that leaves the air smelling like gunpowder. And then, of course, there is the family to deal with."

"Are you suggesting there are perhaps other ways of celebrating this holiday?"

"Yes."

"Care to share your thoughts?"

"Give me a moment to present them to you logically."

"Take your time."

"----"

"While I'm young would be a plus."

"Twat...okay, I'm ready. I suggest a patriot, more reverent way to celebrate, one without family accompaniment and without raising ones cholesterol level."

"Sounds interesting, proceed."

"Thank you. I suggest we prepare healthier fare that we can enjoy picnic style and watch a movie. And although I not opposed to beer, I'd like to try a healthier libation, one in keeping with what our forefathers had to endure during times of protest and fighting for their freedom."

"A movie! And what the hell kind of drink do you have in mind?"

"1776 and raspberry herbal tea."

"1776 and PINK tea?! Are you out of your mind?"

"I don't think I am. All I'm suggesting is that we show our respect for the true meaning of the 4th and we do together, alone, quietly, alone, together and without any clothes."

"Oh, OH! You mean a quiet, three day weekend here, alone, together, no noise, no crazy family, together, alone, and naked."

"And with a patriotic movie, pink tea and a picnic on the cushions."

"And naked, alone together, just the two of us."

"Just the two of us, naked for three days and then of course there are the fireworks."

"But you said you didn't like the fireworks."

"Not those fireworks, OUR fireworks."

"Ooohh, OUR fireworks. I gotcha."

"So, do you like my idea?"

"Brian, I at times, have no idea why some people call you an asshole."

"You approve of my suggestion."

"In keeping with the true meaning of the 4th, yes. I approve 100% of your suggestion. But where are we going to get that movie? It's not the most popular movie at Blockbuster."

"No, problem. I bought it several years ago. It's on the self."

"You OWN the movie?"

"Yes."

"I'm impressed. And the snacks?"

"In the fridge."

"Raspberry tea?"

"In the cupboard."

"You thought of everything."

"I try."

"So why aren't we naked?"

"Just waiting for you."

"So let's get naked and start our weekend off with a bang."

"Or two."

"Or three..."

"Or four..."

"Or with as many as we can in three days."

"Happy 4th, Bri!"

"Happy 4th, Sunshine."
