Dinky Dummy

So I asked Scotty to cheer me up somehow the other day, and he replied by telling me this story. I always loved it when Scotty would tell me stories, because they always had this character called Dinky Dumby, and good ol' Dinky Dumby would always screw up in a hilarious way. So I'll share with you all this terrific story. Hope Scotty doesn't mind, and I hope you all enjoy it!

Once upon a time, up in Provo Julie was playing with Dinky Dummy. They were playing four square, but it didn't last very long because some dork from the new 420 would hit the ball, then some dork from the new 403 would hit the ball, then Julie would hit the ball, and then Dinky Dummy would kick the ball into the swimming pool. "No," Julie would say, "that's not how four square is played, Dinky Dummy." But Dinky Dummy just couldn't ever get it right, so they had to quit playing (because the Colony's owner showed up and started mouthing off about no horseplay around the pool, and that includes the street now). Then Julie got a great idea. "I have a great idea!" she said. "Let's go visit Scotty in CA!" Dinky Dummy just smiled and nodded. So, that night, after Leesa had gone to bed, Julie stole her keys and her car, and she and Dinky Dummy headed down to CA. On the way, Dinky Dummy kept asking to use the bathroom. "You just went!" Julie would cry, but for fear of leaving Leesa's car with a Dinky Dummy accident, she would stop for him every time. When they got to Vegas, Julie suggested that they stop for some In-n-out. After lunch, Julie made a quick stop to powder her nose. When she came out, she couldn't find Dinky Dummy. "Where could he have gone?" she said to herself. She started to circle the In-n-out and found him out back. He was with a tall dude wearing a coat (even though it was like a million degrees outside). "Hey!" Julie cried, a bit angry. The guy turned around and Julie could see that Dinky Dummy had purchased a bunch of fake Rolex watches. Now they had no money left! Julie was about to demand the money back from the stranger when she was met with a pleasant surprise. The man in the coat was Will! "What's up Julie?!" said Will. "My new summer job is SWEET!" "Will!" cried Julie. "It's so good to see you! Except that you stole all our money we were using to drive down to California to see Scotty." "Really?" asked Will. "Scotty's been dying for some yoga lessons! How 'bout if I give you your money back and then I pay for the rest of the trip so we can all go together!" Julie agreed, of course, but had to endure Will's guitar playing in the backseat the rest of the way (but it wasn't really that bad). Finally, after many long hours of driving, Julie pulled up outside of Scott's house. Scott just happened to be taking out the trash when Julie pulled up, but from there it became a madhouse. Dinky Dummy was so excited to see Scott that he jumped out of the car before it stopped moving, but recovered quickly, sprinting toward Scott and trying to show off his new watches at the same time. Just then, Will darted from the car with his guitar, trying to do yoga moves while running. But as soon as Julie got out of the car, Scott jumped and did a triple flip over Will and Dinky Dummy and landed right next to Julie and gave her the biggest hug in the world! It was the best ever! The End.
