Savage Day - Pt 3

   When they got to the park Daniel could see that Darren was brooding on something.
   “Ya know Dan, I’ve been thinking” he said. “Maybe I should cut my hair like really short and dye it black. What d’ya think?”
Daniel started laughing.    “Oh yeah, I can picture it! Why don’t you get one of those black capes too?” He put his arms up in the air and grinned in a way that made him look very much like Dracula.
   “Hello, my name is Darren. Count Darren…” he hissed. “Mind if I chew your ear?”
Daz laughed at the thought of it.
   “People would talk, you know.” Dan said.
   “Yeah, I guess you’re right. What was I thinking?!”
   Suddenly a guy on in-lines went past Daniel, nearly knocking him down.
   “Geez, you really have to dodge those in-line skaters!” he said. “He looked kinda like Mark Hamill, doncha think?”
   “You know Dan, he could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer, and you wouldn’t know the difference.”
   “Darren, don’t say I didn’t warn you…”
Daz continued undaunted.
   “You couldn’t tell a monkey from your own reflection in the mirror!” he giggled.
   “That’s it! You’re begging for it!!” Dan shouted and threw himself on Darren, who fell down on the ground.
   “Help me!” Darren laughed.
   “I’m gonna break you and shake you and take you over!!” screamed Daniel in fury.
   “Okay, okay! I give!” Daz squeked.
Dan held a tight grip around Darren’s neck when he suddenly let go.
Darren opened his eyes in surprise and say an old lady standing just a few meters away; her eyes were wide open and she had a terrified look on her face.
   “Hi there! Care to join us for a ‘menage à trois’?” Darren said to her with a mischievous smile.
Dan was so shocked that he couldn’t move, he just lay there on top of Daz.
   The old lady let out a gasp and rushed past them with both hands to her mouth.
Daniel quickly rose and straightened out his shirt and pants.
   “For Christ’s sakes Darren!! Why do you always have to embarrass us like that?!?”
Darren couldn’t answer him due to the fact that he was laughing harder than he’d ever done in his entire life.
   “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe!!!” he said, gasping for air.
After a while he calmed down and Dan sat down next to him.
   “Gee Dan, I didn’t know you had that in you.” Darren said.
   “But you hurt me in a way that I’ve never known.”
   “Sorry… But it was fun, don’t ya think?” He smiled. Daniel didn’t.
They sat quiet for a while.
   “Just a twist in time, and maybe things could be different…” Darren said suddenly.
   “Excuse me?”
   “Don’t you ever wish that we could know now if all this is in vain, if it’s just a waste of everybody’s time?”
   “Sure, it’d be a whole lot easier. But I mean, when we’re rich and famous,” he said with a smile to Darren, “I’ll always look back on these days and think like ‘Wow, the fun we had back then!’”
   “But memories fade, you know, they’re designed that way.”
   “Yeah. Thank goodness!” Dan was still a bit shaken by the upsetting event just a few minutes ago.
   For a long time they just sat there, without saying a word.
Finally Dan broke the silence.
