A Chad & Ronnie Adventure was made by L! on 5/9/2003 at 12:14:33 AM.
Bean and Donut Coffee Bar
Parodipolis
4:34:58:68:1 p.m. MST (Moon Standard Time)
Sitting the corner booth, a slightly disheveled man sits. He is wearing a multicolored trench coat. Colors everywhere with multicolored shapes & words. His dark brown hair looks not to have combed in awhile. He has dark blue eyes and he wears a well-used pair of horned rimmed glasses.
From under his jacket, one could see he is wearing a dark grey t-shirt, a pair of jeans & blue Converse High Tops.
The Man comes in everyday, sits at the same corner booth, orders the same thing, BLT with a strawberry shake. As he sits there, he seems to mumble & hums to himself. He has a notebook; the cover has been doodled on. Pages are falling out, some are ripped. It has been well used.
The Man sits there writing down notes, phrases, and pictures. He hardly ever talks to anyone.
He has his meal, pays for it. Just before he leaves, a Cosmic being appears and drinks a cup of Coffee. The man leaves.
He does this everyday. His Name is Chad.
Chad looks to be 20, but is actually much older. The people that know his think he is a bit odd. But, considering what he has done with his life, he is quite normal.
Chad lives in downtown Parodipolis, he can see of Off-Central Park from his Apartment. Chad doesn't have a job, doesn't need one.
Most of Chad's time is spent creating. He makes art pieces, improving on machines that don't exist yet.
Chad's Apartment is on the 18th floor of the Magillacutty Apartments. His apartment is a couple rooms, Living room/bedroom, Kitchen, Bathroom & Bedroom/Lab. Chad sleeps on the pull out couch. The bedroom/lab is currently cluttered of machine parts, Stacks of Paper ranging from comic books to newspapers to magazines to Notebooks.
In the Lab, he has a large collection of Music on Vinyl & CD. He had a Record/CD player. It's part Shaper Image, part Chad.
When Chad comes home at the end of the day, he unloads his coat pockets. Thought out the day, Chad will find stuff. Mostly, on the ground. He puts it in his jacket pockets. He has a big collection of stuff. He may never use it but he doesn’t care.
Chad comes home, puts his trench coat on his coat racket. He takes off his shoes. Out of the front two jean pockets, he takes out his keys, Watch & Wallet. Chad never liked anything in his back pockets, doesn't like how it feels when he sits down. He doesn't like the impression watches leave on his wrist, either.
Chad walks by his phone & answer machine. The little light is blinking. Chad presses the button on the machine. The messages start playing.
A couple from his friend, Joe asking if Chad wants to do something. Chad calls Joe his activities director, Chad might never leaves the apartment if it wasn't for Joe or his friend, Ronnie.
The next message is from Ronnie saying he will meet Chad at the spot.
A couple messages are telemarketers.
Chad looks at the atomic clock on the wall. It is now, 5:34:23:08:1, moon standard time. Chad only cares about MST; it's the most accurate.
Chad knows how to convert Local time into MST. It's easier that way, then just ask everyone to convert to MST.
The Phone rings, not the normal phone. This one has special ring. It's the one in the Lab.
" Hello?"
"It's me, Kyle." Said the voice on the other end.
" Oh, I'm sorry you have the wrong number."
Chad hangs up.
Chad walks back into the Living room/bedroom. Turns on the news, there is a report about superhero/mayor spiffy running off with fellow superhero Dancer's sister because they are reported on have a lovechild together.
Then, the Diana Ross song starts playing in Chad's mind. It quickly turns to other things.
Chad's mind is always running. Most times, he is thinking about four completely different things.
Chad flips around the channels, not good on. Not even an infomercial.
Chad goes to his Lab and tinkers around with some Machine parts. His Stereo blasts out The Who. He plays it as high as he wants. The walls are soundproof. Chad added the cushioning. Noisy neighbors upstairs.
The Next Day...
Chad Heads out, he has meeting with Ronnie. One of the few people he knows in the city. Chad & Ronnie set up a meeting by the Amazing Guy statue in Off-Central Park. Ronnie likes to hang out by the Amazing Guy statue for some reason.
Ronnie isn't that hard to spot. Ronnie is one the few white guy's with an Afro. His is red & poseable. It has a yellow comb stuck in it.
Ronnie's look follows a pattern, red & yellow. He wears red pants & a yellow sweater, with yellow striped socks & red oversized shoes. He wears glasses that are too big for his head.
Ronnie is standing in the middle of a crowd. He has M&M's up his nose, which isn't anything out of the ordinary. Ronnie is telling people of his theories like Aliens are the reasons Swiss cheese has holes & Aliens want to take over Cleveland. If he isn't telling of his theories, he is telling of his vast knowledge of string beans.
On Ronnie's Shoulder sleeps Little Cat, his hamster.
" Now people, let's take this seriously. Aliens from New Flan-Dar have come to own tiny blue ball before, they have giving us holey Swiss cheese, Pyramids & Video tape. Well, that all I have today. Come back at about 12:15 & I will have more." Ronnie said
The crowd slowly leaves.
" So, Ronnie. How's it going?"
" Good. Yourself?"
" Good. How's Little Cat?"
" Good, a bit gassy."
This is quiet a scene a man dressed in only red & yellow with a man dressed normally but with a strange looking coat.
" So, what do you want to do now?" Ronnie asks
" The Coffee Bar?"
" Sure!"
Ronnie & Chad walk over the Bean and Donut Coffee Bar. As they walk, Chad hums Darth Vader's theme song from Star Wars.
An employee of the Coffee bar yells to Sarah, " Sarah, the weirdoes are back!"
" What? Chronicler & anyone else he brings in?"
" No, the other weirdoes."
"The Guy in red & yellow & the guy in the multicolored trench coat?"
" Yeah!"
Chad & Ronnie walk in and over to the booth in the corner.
" So, how's Jane?" Chad said
" We broke up. She didn't like me talking to Dan, the 1 legged cricket I keep in my pocket."
Then, Ronnie opens his pant's pocket & waves at the cricket.
"Hello."
" I'm sorry." Chad said
"It’s ok. Me & Dan don't need her."
Sarah comes over,
" So, what would you like?"
" I'll have a BLT with a strawberry shake." Chad said
"I'll have eggs."
"How do you want them prepared?"
" Cooked & not in the shell." Ronnie said, then smiled at Sarah.
Sarah walks off to take care of customers.
Chad & Ronnie talks of many things, they're theories, (Chad believes Grover Cleveland was the only Alien President. Then Ronnie brings up that Aliens are trying to take over Cleveland & that there might be a connection.) Ideas on things, (Chad talks about new inventions & Ronnie talks about the current price of fine imported Lama hair.) they also talk about life in general.
Chad & Ronnie have they're meal, Chad pays.
They leave.
" What do we do now?" Ronnie asks
"Save the world from devastation?"
"No."
" Dance."
" Yeah."
Chad & Ronnie start dancing. Little Cat wakes up & dances with them. They don't really know how to dance, but they do it anyway.
From inside the Coffee Bar, Everyone is stairs at the two weirdoes dancing.
Sarah calls the Hospital; she thinks they might be having convulsions.
The End!
