Short Story 28 – Bill & Ted

Bill and Ted were two old English friends who had been friends since they were kids. They knew each other like brothers, and they loved to have fun.

One day, they decided to spend the day together. They started by going to the pub for a pint of ale.

“I hear the new fish and chips place in town is supposed to be great,” Bill said.

“Yeah, I’ve been meaning to try it,” Ted said.

As they were drinking their pints, they started to gyp each other.

“I bet you can’t finish your pint in one go,” Bill said.

“Oh, yeah?” Ted said. “Watch me.”

Ted chugged his pint, and then he burped loudly.

“See?” he said. “I told you I could do it.”

“That was disgusting,” Bill said. “But I’m impressed.”

After a few more pints, they decided to go to the fish and chips place.

When they got to the fish and chips place, they ordered a large portion of fish and chips each, and they shared a bottle of wine.

“This is delicious,” Bill said.

“I know, right?” Ted said. “I’m so glad we came here.”

As they were eating, they continued to gyp each other.

“I bet you can’t eat all your fish and chips,” Bill said.

“Oh, yeah?” Ted said. “Watch me.”

Ted ate all his fish and chips, and then he licked his plate clean.

“See?” he said. “I told you I could do it.”

“That was impressive,” Bill said. “But I’m still not impressed with your sense of humor.”

After they finished eating, they decided to go for a walk in the park.

As they were walking, they talked and laughed. They talked about their families, their jobs, and their plans for the future.

“I’m so glad we’re friends,” Bill said.

“Me too,” Ted said. “I don’t know what I would do without you.”

As they were walking, they started to gyp each other again.

“I bet you can’t outrun me,” Bill said.

“Oh, yeah?” Ted said. “Watch me.”

Bill and Ted started to race, and Ted won.

“I told you I could outrun you,” Ted said.

“You cheated,” Bill said. “You started before I did.”

“No, I didn’t,” Ted said. “You’re just making excuses.”

They continued to argue about who won the race all the way to the park.

After their walk in the park, they decided to go to the cinema. They saw a new comedy movie, and they laughed so hard that their sides hurt.

“That was hilarious,” Bill said.

“I know, right?” Ted said. “I haven’t laughed that hard in ages.”

As they were walking out of the cinema, they started to gyp each other about the movie.

“I thought the movie was terrible,” Bill said.

“You’re just being a party pooper,” Ted said. “The movie was great.”

They continued to argue about the movie all the way to the bar.

After the movie, they decided to go for a nightcap at a bar. They sat at the bar and talked for hours. They talked about everything under the sun, and they never ran out of things to say.

“I’m so glad we had this day together,” Bill said.

“Me too,” Ted said. “It was the perfect day.”

As they were getting ready to leave the bar, they started to gyp each other one last time.

“I had a better time than you did,” Bill said.

“No, you didn’t,” Ted said. “I had the best time.”

They continued to argue about who had the best time all the way to Bill’s house.
