Don't Drink the Apple Juice

Don't Drink the Apple Juice

Silly cheesy shirt story inspired by Homestuck

There's nothing more soothing than a warm summer sunrise peering over the Empire State Building. You process through all your thoughts and tasks of the day and concentrate on nothing but the beauty of the orange, pink, and yellow colors in the sky above. Until you get around to hearing car horns bellowing; a very common sound anywhere in New York. It's something you just have to get used to and begin to not hear after a while. You get used to a lot of things while living in Queens your whole life. But there's one thing that always seems to take you by surprise: a slap from your future or past self.
Some people in life you can just tell haven't outgrown their own typical high school cliques. Like some nerds will always be nerds staring at their computers all day. Some jocks will always be picking on those lower than them. Just like some cool kids with the leather jacket and shades will always wear their shades indoors. Dave Strider will always be one of those cool kids you can easily pick out in a crowd. Dave, like any typical cool kid, can lay down any sick beat with his turntables. He is pretty mastered at a ninja sword and always pretends like he doesn't care. Dave lives with his bro in an apartment building near downtown Queens and they have the time of their lives there. Much like Bro, Dave never takes off his sweet shades. But the most famous connection they have together, is the insane obsession with puppets.
Bro has his own act with his puppet named Cal every night at a small comedy club. Together, Bro and Cal perform original rap songs. Dave looks up to Bro and is always competing with his own share of rap songs, until one day when Bro disappears. Dave coolly chills out for a few hours waiting for Bro to return. He notices Cal sitting on the counter staring at him. Dave thinks puppets are awesome and all, but sometimes he swears that Cal is plotting. He doesn't stay in the kitchen long before a white light appears in front of the refrigerator. In the next few moments he identifies his Bro's pointy anime black shades.
"Sup bro, where've you been?" Dave asks calmly.
"I was just at the medium for a bit," the medium was an intense role playing game that Bro played years ago and time travels there often. "I've got a major cravin' for some apple juice."
"I think I might have drank the last one," Dave says discretly putting the juice behind his back. "Cal and I were just hangin' makin up some sick beats."
Bro just looks at Dave with an "are you kidding me?" kind of look. He then pulls out his katana(signature weapon-long sword) and points it at Dave mockingly. "Why must you compete with me lil Dave?"
Dave takes one look around the room for somewhere to dash to, seeing as though he's never been as good at strifing as Bro. He quickly shakes off the idea of running and chugs down the last apple juice in front of him. "You never know dude. My beats are pretty sick!" He takes out his ninja sword and strikes it into Cal, pushing him right into Bro's arms. Bro sweeps back catching Cal and delicately places him on his shoulders. He smiles broadly and charges at Dave with his katana raised high. Dave makes a mockingly ironic smilie and arms his ninja sword in such positioned down towards Bro's hip. Dave turns his body slightly missing Bro's katana but his own ninja sword accidentally hits Bro's time travel device causing a bright white light coming over both of them.
They get flung closer together, their weapons still armed, into a new surrounding. They pause briefly looking at the room before them. There's a small bed with green ghost buster sheets, old movie posters, a computer desk with a laptop, a toy chest covered in starts and moons, and a brown haired boy with glasses that appeared to be a few years older than Dave. Dave recognized him as his best friend John.
"Dave! What are you doing here?! You're supposed to be on tour!" Said john eagerly staring at them with a wild expression. There appeared to be something different about John. He was older and had a stubby beard. Weirdly enough, his room had stayed the same with an updated laptop.
"John! Sup man? What do you mean I'm supposed to be on tour? Pretty sure I am still a few years from that." Dave said walking towards his best friend to highfive.
At this moment, Bro starts arming his sword towards Dave. Bro is ready to stab him in a friendly manner until suddenly another white light appears. This time there's another guy with pointy anime glasses. They all recognize this man as another Bro.
"Hey!...wow..does my hair look that bad from the back? Doesn't matter. Bro! I'm you from an hour in the future. I have to make sure you, we, strife Dave. He drank the last apple juice! Not to mention, he hurt Cal." Future Bro was talking to present Bro waving his arms frantically.
"John! Run!" Yells Dave getting out his ninja sword. There then became a legendary battle between the 2 Bro's and Dave. They strifed but never got touched by eachothers swords. This went on for about two minutes until John intervined.
"Guys! You are both cool cool cool! All of you are awesome and very talented at rapping. Let's get along and drink apple juice." John preached to them. Dave and both Bro's just looked at eachother mischievously and then decided to shake hanmds after a disturbing glare from John.
"Well goodbye Bro, time to get back." Future Bro gave present Bro a highfive. "But watch our apple juice next time." And he slapped present Bro across the face. Taken by surprise, present Bro just glared until future Bro was absorbed by the white light. Note to self: never let your brother drink your apple juice.
After drinking apple juice with future John, Dave and Bro ended up going back to their apartment in their own present time. Seeing as though Cal got a rip in his stomache from Dave's poke, he stitched him up and gave Bro a juice box.
"Thanks dude, maybe later we will have a rap battle instead of swords." Bro looked up at Dave and gave him a smile. Later that day the brothers had an epic rap battle that lasted 20 minutes. They shared all the apple juice by the time it was over.
