The Ultimate Burrito
There is only one God and Goddess. The rulers of the planet Lays Classic. The God and Goddess roamed the earth in search of the Ultimate Burrito. The Ultimate Burrito was heard to be in the Nacho Cheese Falls, on the planet Barbecue Pork Chops. They searched for the Ultimate Burrito to get enough power to create another planet. They wanted another planet to give them more room. The planet they lived on was the size of a shoe. There was no room for the God orGoddess left.
The journey started off very fun and energetic, the God and Goddess stopped at the Lake of Spirits. "God this is going to be a really long and treacherous journey, can we really do this?" says Goddess. Yes sweet heart I know we can." says God. "We must if we want to live in a better home. We must continue. We have not that far left to go, " says God.
They walked and walked until they arrived at the path of transformation. This path was created to transform you. This was a very difficult path to walk on because it deformed your body turning it into a very ugly form. For this reason no one wanted to go down the transformation path. God and Goddess knew that it was worth it just to reach the Ultimate Burrito. "Aah! This is horrible God. Your face so hideous I can't stand to look at you." says Goddess. "We'll you ain't no dime piece your self," says God.
They finally arrived at the beginning of the trail to the Ultimate Burrito. They must jump over lava onto hot rocks. They jumped and jumped until they reached a wall and saw eyes on the wall.They tried to open the door and a sound arose from the wall. "What do you want?" said the wall. "We are in search of the powerful Ultimate Burrito! Do you know where it is?" said God. Yes, it is right here behind this wall. You must enter through the door to the left," said the wall.
They started walking towards the spot where the wall had told them. The wall quickly said, "you must promise to take me with you. Make me a friend for me to talk to and pretty things to look at, for I can not move. I am only a wall stuck to the soil forever." They both looked at each other "we can do that," says the God and Goddess.
They moved slowly towards the door and went inside. They spotted the Nacho Cheese Falls as soon as they entered the place. It looked as if a vast garden had surfaced around the Burrito. The sky was a blue, gold, and pinkish color. The grass was very green and there was a mild smell of burrito and cheese that lingered in the air. The Burrito was held on a fountain of shooting cheese.
They slowly walked towards the shiny burrito being careful of any traps that were around. They reached the Ultimate Burrito and grasped the power with all of there might. They pulled and pulled until they and the Burrito came crashing to the ground. They looked at each other in relief, quickly splitting the Burrito in half gaining its full power. They then closed their eyes, snapped their fingers, and another planet had formed. They walked over to the wall and snapped their fingers to transfer them to the new planet they called Earth.
Goddess was so happy she jumped up and down with tears of joy in her eyes. The Wall said "look you have made me a pretty lake to look at from all of your tears, thank you." Then God waved his hand in the air and tapped the ground three times and out from the ground came trees and from the trees came birds. "These are pretty things for you to look at and we are now your friends. We will talk to you whenever you want," says God and Goddess. "I am truly Happy," said the Wall. "Me too," said God. Then the world became complete.

The Dirty Truth
Looking across the long beautiful beach of Florida as the sun sets with its smooth sand that looks as if the sun hits it just right it would sparkle and shine. Destiny thought to herself, how could I let John leave without telling him? Was it real? Should John know? I must tell him she says as she gets up pacing slowly towards the ramp entrance by the side walk. Destiny hops into her Monti Carlo hoping that what she had to say would convince him to take her back; after all she is a very beautiful women with a glow that a thousand men can admire. When god made her he sprinkled her with sunshine and love.
Finally arriving at the condominium where John stayed, Destiny stopped and gasped at the sight of a big sign out front that read for sale. Destiny cautiously walked towards the door. Bullets of sweet sweat pouring from her forehead even though it was 65 degrees outside and a light wind was blowing. A smell came from inside as she crept closer. It smelled as if a big meal was cooking- collide greens, cornbread, yams, and pork chops. Destiny shifted from the door to the window peeking to see who was all inside through the window of the condominium. As she peeked through the window thoughts of what happened ran through her mind. How he caught her in bed with that other guy. How embarrassed was she! She did not see anyone so she moved back towards the door ready to knock but it was opened slightly already so she eased in slowly and peeked around the corner of the door.
Gasping and trying to catch herself, she rushed back to her car leaving the door to the condo wide opened. She turned her car on and tears started pouring from her eyes as she drove back to the beach. The beach was her thinking place. She's been going there since she was a little girl. She had to think everything over. I can't believe I saw him on the couch freaking it with another man. Oh my God, destiny said. Destiny finally thought to herself, I must go back to the condo and handle this like a woman. There is something that I must tell him and after everything that has is going on I know it's the right time.
When Destiny arrived at the condo she sat there staring at the door thinking of a way to tell him. Then she got out and told herself that it will turn out however it will turn out but at least he'll know the truth. She moves towards the door and knocks on it. A anonymous voice says who is it? It's Destiny, Destiny says. Destiny who? says the anonymous voice. Is John here? says destiny. Hold on the anonymous voice says.
The door opens and she walks in and sees a man on a couch and John standing on the side of the couch next to him. WHAT? says John angrily. We need to talk says Destiny. About what says John. I need to tell you something in private says Destiny. Whatever you can say to me you can say to Raul says Raul. Okay I love you and I want you to give us a second chance. I'm nothing without you.I know its been only three months but I really do love you says Destiny. Why should I believe that says John. Because I'm going to tell you a secret. You know we haven't done anything sexually yet-I've been scared, I've been scared, she repeated. After today I feel more comfortable with telling you now says Destiny. Look trick, how just tell him and bounce, says Raul. Excuse me? I will whoop yo, says Destiny while being quickly interrupted by John. Tell me what you have to tell me okay! Says John. Okay, just control your man before I get him. I know that you are with him, says Destiny. We ain't been doing nothing, you know what better yet leave says John.
I came here to pour my heart out to you, to tell you that I love you and how you gonna do me like this. I've changed says Destiny. I hope you don't believe her says Raul. I don't know says John, as an argument between John and Raul arises. Destiny shouts, what I came to tell you was that I am really a man!
