More of the Tommy Chronicals!

You pull up on a house that looks a little too clean. While the whole subdivision is relatively new, this one reminds you of a Thomas Kinkade painting. You don't even have to check the address to know this is the place. Just about the moment you are deciding if you need to go ring the bell or just honk the horn Tommy pops his head out the door as if he has been waiting on you for the last 10 minutes. He starts jogging to the car and then sprints back to the house. After about a minute he comes back out with a coat and gets into the car...

YOUTH PASTOR: Hey Tommy! Hows it going?

TOMMY: Hey, good!

YOUTH PASTOR: You ready to go?

TOMMY: Yeah...wait! I have to go lock the front door.

Tommy gets out of the car and runs to the porch, once the door is locked however he casually strolls back to the car.

YOUTH PASTOR: Everything good now?

TOMMY: Yeah, I think so. We can go.

YOUTH PASTOR: So are you excited for your friend Billy to come to youth group tonight?

TOMMY: Yeah! I was telling him all about it this afternoon while we were playing Modern Warcraft online today.

YOUTH PASTOR: Well that's great. Do you think he is going to like it?

TOMMY: Yeah, I think so, he is really excited to try out the whip cream pie game we did.

YOUTH PASTOR: You know that we don't play the same games every week right?

TOMMY: You don't?

YOUTH PASTOR: No.

TOMMY: But you guys play games every week right?

YOUTH PASTOR: Oh yeah!

TOMMY: Oh man! I forgot my mom's cookies!

YOUTH PASTOR: You mean the sugar free raisin cookies?

TOMMY: Yeah.

YOUTH PASTOR: That's OK. I picked up some other snacks...so we should be good.

TOMMY: Oh, OK.

YOUTH PASTOR: So your mom says that Billy lives just down this road. Do you know where to turn?

TOMMY: Ummm...sorta.

YOUTH PASTOR: What do you mean "sorta"?

TOMMY: Well I know that it's off this road after a sign.

YOUTH PASTOR: Well what does that sign say?

TOMMY: It says something about "guns save lives"...Oh there it is!

You slam on your breaks in order to turn down a road that you were just about to cross.

YOUTH PASTOR: OK, well now that we are on this road do we just keep following it?

TOMMY: Yeah.

YOUTH PASTOR: How far?

TOMMY: I dunno.

Will they find Billy's house? Will Tommy live to see it? Tune in next time for the continued Chronicles of Tommy: Everyone's Favorite Homeschooled Student!
