Ch 3, Twinkies(Three months later) 1
“Ok, yea, I understand…I’ll have it to you by next week…no, there’s no need. I’ll have it for you, I promise. Ok…ok…bye” (thinks: oh shit what am I going to do? There’s no way I’ll be able to have that money for him by next week. If Sinthea finds out she’ll have my head for sure. Man, the only way that this could get any worse is if Clark showed up.) 2

“Knock, knock…knock”4
Steve walks over to the door and opens it to see who it is. (Thinks: shit, spoke too soon.) It was the one and only Clark standing at the door in his most famous position. Weed in one hand and a drink in the other while trying to eat a Twinkie. 5
“Hey man, what’s up? Thought I’d stop and see if you wanted to do anything before you sold you soul to the devil next week”, Exclaimed Clark who seemed to be swaying. 6
(Steve a bit irritated) “Do what?” 7
“I’m just joking man. So anyways, what are you doing?” Same old Clark, high as ever and getting worse. 8
Steve figured he mine as well let him in before he gets himself hurt or into trouble.“I was just about to jump in the shower. If you want you can go sit on the couch until I get done. (A little annoyed) Oh, and don’t touch anything” Clark had a tendency to break stuff on so called accidents. 9
“Yeah, yeah I know. I’m not a child dude. So, you got in Twinkies?”10
(Even more annoyed) “Do I what…No I don’t have any Twinkies. Now sit down and stay there.” Sometimes Clark could be such a pain and very childish. The good thing about him though is that he will always be there when you need him. Even if he has no idea what for. 11
Clark headed into the kitchen and started going through the cabinets. When Steve walked in to see what he was doing. He caught Clark standing one legged on a chair reaching as far as he could in one of the cabinets. 12
(Impatiently) “What are you doing?”“Dude I found it!” Clark said excitedly. 13
(Oh lord what now, Steve thought.) “Found what? Look, get down before you fall. I swear man; you really don’t act your age.”14
“Dude! It’s a chocolate Twinkie! Awesome!” Clark starts to eat it.15
Steve snatches the Twinkie away and looks at it.16
“No man, get your own, I found that one fare and square.”17
“Clark, this thing is covered in mold” He looks at it again and almost feels like puking.18
“Hmm, I never tried mold before” Reaches for the Twinkie, but Steve yanks back and throws it away.19
“No! What did you do that for? I was going to eat that, maybe even make my Twinkie casserole.”20
(confused look) “Twinkie casser…(changes sentence) Look, it was covered in mold. You would have gotten sick and God knows what else. Now go sit down and stay there so I can take a shower. Don’t argue either.” As Steve heads for the bathroom, he looks back to make sure Clark was sitting and then gets in the shower.21
(20 minutes later)22
“Clark? Clark where you at? Clar…what are you eating?” Steve had walked into the kitchen looking for Clark who was supposed to be sitting on the couch.23
“It’s a Twinkie casserole. Want some?” he was grinning and seemed to be enjoying every bite he took. Savoring it like weed is a more appropriate term for him. 24
“You’re eating what? Man, that doesn’t look so good. I don’t think you should be eating that. Maybe I should just… (as he reaches for it)...throw...”25
“No! You already threw away my chocolate Twinkie away; you are not throwing my casserole away. I worked hard to get this.” takes another savoring bite.26
“And just how did you work hard to get that?” Steve asked, a bit sarcastically. 27
“Well, I found a five dollar bill in your couch and decided to go to the store and buy some Twinkies. I couldn’t find my keys so I walked. See, I worked hard, I walked. Also, it worked up an appetite so it worked out well.” Takes another bite and hums. “Umm, this is good man.” 28
Steve looks at him in disgust and thinks about how to get the Twinkie...whatever it is away from Clark.“Look Clark! One eyed one horned, purple people eater!” 29
“Dude where! I don’t see it!” Clark was wide eyed and looking everywhere for it while Steve (thinking to himself how gullible Clark is) quickly takes the Twinkie thing and throws it away. 30
“Dude! How could you! (Clark cries and whines, then starts mourning his casserole. Clark walks over to the trash can and starts speaking. “You were a very good casserole. (Sniffles) We’ve been through a lot together you and I…” Steve looks at Clark confusingly. 31
“Clark, what are you doing?” “Shh man, can’t you see I’m saying a few words here.” Clark turns back to the trash can and gets on one knee. “I just want you to know my little Twinkie that I love you and there will be no other to replace you…” 32
“Clark, it’s a Twinkie, you can always buy more. Now get up and stop acting stupid” Steve was trying to be strict, but couldn’t help but smile at how ridiculous Clark was being. 33
Clark looks up at Steve and shrugs his shoulders. “Ok, so you want to go now? I have a craving for steak.” 34
Steve chuckles and throws his hands up in defeat. “Sure why not. Let me go get my keys, oh, and your keys are hanging on your pants dude.” 35
“What!? So that's where I put them.” Clark said in astonishment. 36
Steve just shakes his head and walks to his car as Clark hops into the passenger seat. (Steve thinks: I mine as well enjoy this day, for this may be my last day of peacefulness. Tomorrow, I’ll start trying to get the money.) He looks over at Clark who is sitting there singing God knows what and rolling up another hit. Steve rolls his eyes and drives off. 37
