Here is my story.
"**** I'm bored"
"You're always bored Eric, in fact I think you complaining about your boredom is the only source of excitement your life has at the moment."
"Your probably right, take a left here"
The lime green, small electric car daringly darted through three lanes of traffic in order to get to the turn lane, much to the displeasure of the school bus that almost hit it.

"Eric, what the hell are you doing?"
"You said to take a left turn, man."
"I said take a left turn, not try to get us killed"
A sly smile sneaks across Eric's face, "I told you I was bored".
The car finally pulls into the small, clay parking lot outside the bakery, the contents of the car spill out: two men, mid twenties. They look almost, but not entirely dissimilar.
One of the men is Eric. Tall, with some weight, his fasion sense seems to be non existant. He is often asked if he is Jewish, given his curly black hair and slightly larger than normal nose. While Eric will sometimes tell those who ask that he is, in fact, Jewish, in reality this is not the case.
"Josh, why the hell did you want to come to a bakery anyway?", Eric asks, his voice sounding more irritated than he really was.
"I need some bread", replies Josh. Josh, while by no means short, is a good few inches shorter than his cohort. His black skin, black hair and stylish clothes often give people an incorrect first impression of himself. He has a fairly irrational dislike of fellow African Americans, stemming from something Eric never really understood. Unlike Eric, people never ask if he is Jewish, which is ironic since he claims that to be his faith.
As the pair walk into the store, two things immediately obvious. One, the constant baking has left the air almost heavenly. Two, sitting near the register were the three most odd looking rolls the two had ever seen in their long history of bread consumption.

"They look...almost like large rocks", Eric muttered under his breath to Josh.
"I must buy them", Josh responded and continued to act upon his statement.
Twenty seven minutes and a few seconds later, the two were sitting in a park enjoying Josh's purchase of bread and hoping the turtles they threw crumbs to were doing the same.
"Eric?"
"Yea?"
"Look to your right."
"Okay...wait."
"Yea, is that what I think it is?"
"My God."
"Is that Widow Reynolds really doing a split at the bust stop?"
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/Daisy8s/Pic1.jpg
"My God."
"Take a picture Eric."
"My God."
"Fine Eric, I will do it."
The two sat in silence for many minutes. Josh went back to eating his bread and trying to peg the occasional duck with the occasional chunk while Eric still sat with a look of sheer shock still etched on his face.
"Eric, are you okay man?"
"Yea man. It was just...pretty shocking you know?"
"I guess. But I have never seen you that fazed man. Not even when we went scuba diving in Australia and you ran across that Great White Shark."

"Sharks I can handle, bat-crazy old people doing splits in public is a whole different sort of crazy man."
Another silence almost passed over the pair before Josh fought it off.
"Actually, Eric, there was one time I remember seeing you that shocked."
After a breif hesitation they both said in unison: "Hawaii".
Their minds both go back to that bizarre trip.

"I can't believe we are doing this man. I f***** hate flying."
"I know Josh, but you are the one that bought the tickets."
"We were high at the time! You had convinced me that Telly Savalas was still alive and hiding in Hawaii and that he had his own small army of spring onion people."
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/Daisy8s/Pic7.jpg
"And then we smoked out your cat and it started dancing. Oh Fran, such a cute kitty."
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/Daisy8s/Pic8.jpg
"I won't argue that, but that still doesn't explain how you convinced me to come."
"The tickets were already purchased Josh. It would of been a waste to not use them. Hawaii will do you some good."
"I suppose, but I still don't like it", Josh said as he pulled something large and round from his backpack.
"Is that a Buddha?"
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/Daisy8s/Pic2.jpg
"Yes. He looks over me."
"I thought you were Jewish."
"I am, but I prefer the comfort of a large friendly fat man looking over me. Plus Judism and Buddhism are practically the same."
"No, they really aren't Josh." Eric said before realizing his words were wasted. Josh had already put on his ear phones and passed out. It was then Eric realized the pills Josh took were not Advil for a headache, but sleeping pills to knock him out. Instantly regretting asking for some pills to help with his backache, Eric found himself falling asleep.
***
Eric found himself being poke awake by Josh. Everyone else around him was standing up and the window next to him painted a picture of paradise. Hawaii had arrived.
The beautiful sights of the Island did not prevent Josh's complaining though as the entered their hotel.
"Whats the one thing you get when you come to Hawaii? Leis'd by a beautiful girl."
"They were out of Leis, Josh. Be happy with your heart shaped lollipop. Plus you don't like girls anyway."
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/Daisy8s/Pic13.jpg
"Just because I am gay doesn't mean I don't "like" girls, Eric. I like girls just fine. I don't have to want to screw something to like it."
"Whatever."

After a fairly uneventful unpacking the two made their way to the lovely pool. Eric tried hard to ignore the stereotypical over abundance of Pineapple, but couldn't help but crack a smile at the Pineapple shaped pool.

Choosing that he would rather bathe in the Hawaiian rays, he settled down in one of the many empty chairs.
His light nap was instantly interrupted by a voice that could only belong to a beautiful girl.
"Is this seat taken?", she asked.
"No, not at all." Eric had never been so pleased to hear words come out of his mouth.
"My name is Avy", she said as she extended her flawless hand to him.
Eric shook it and was utterly amazed as the two began a conversation.
Avy, as it turned out, was a local. Her name was short for Aveolela, a Somaon name Eric could never properly announce. She loved to read and write and appeared to be incredibly intelligent and kind.
They talked for an hour before being breifly interrupted by Josh who came over with a rather large, handom man carrying a rather large bowl containing a rather large amount of a brownish substance.
"Eric, have you tried this stuff? Its Poi!"
"POI!" The man said enthusasitcally.
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/Daisy8s/Pic12.jpg
"That looks very nice Josh."
"POI!" the man said again, with equal enthusasim.
"I would love to enjoy that Poi with you Josh, but I believe Avy, here, and I are going to go for a walk."
Josh turned to Avy for the first time and a sign of recognition washed over his face. "Oh, okay. It was a pleasure meeting you Avy. See you later Eric."
The man shouted "POI!" once again, before waving his hand at Eric remenesiant to a Humming Bird flapping its wing.
"Thats...my friend Josh."
"Seems to have quite an eye for compionship."
"That...he does", Eric said before accompaning Avy to the beach.
Their walk was almost as enchanting as their pool side chat. Avy talked about some of the ancient myths of the Hawaiian's. Stories of good and justice overcoming evil and corruption at the point of a holy sword.

They walked until the sun started to set where they then proceeded to sit down on the course sand. Their first kiss happened just as the sun was finally devoured by the sea. Their first kiss led to the piece of clothing to be undone which quickly found itself leading to their first round of sex.
They would quickly realize that this first time would be the last time as all of a sudden a large swarm of people surrounded the couple. All of them carried large pieces of wood equipped with shark teeth. Very pointy shark teeth.

They also all appeared to have the same tattoo which resembled a wild onion.
After some intense arguing between Avy and what appeared to be her father, the Cheif, Eric was overcome, still very much nude, by several large men. His hands held by inexplicably modern handcuffs, the terrified man was carried to a large cave at the base of a volcano.
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/Daisy8s/Pic14.jpg
He was guarded by two large men carrying the shark tooth'ed swords. Hours passed by like days. Finally, for the first time since his incarceration the guards moved. A voice echoed through the cave: "ERIC!?'
To Eric's disbelief Josh walked through the cave and was saved from confrontation with the guards by the man he brought with him.
"TELLY F***** SAVALS?" Eric shouted in disbelief.
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/Daisy8s/Pic15.jpg
"Thats right. Telly F**** Savals." Telly said, in a voice that could destroy nations.

Twenty four hours later Eric was watching the Islands and Volcanoes of Hawaii pass by, his insides full of mixed feelings.

"Zeus, that was a great trip", Josh said, a large smile lighting up his face.
"Great trip? I was almost killed!"
"But, come on man..."
"Your right. The sex was worth it."
