James, Michael, and Richard, three friends filled with youthful bravado, strolled through the bustling amusement park, eyes locked onto their next conquest: picking up girls. <br /><br />"Alright, gentlemen, what's our plan?" James smirked, flexing his biceps. <br /><br />"Simple, we just be ourselves. How can they resist?" Richard replied, winking.<br /><br />They approached a group of girls near a popcorn stand. <br /><br />"Hey ladies," Michael drawled, leaning in. "How about we show you the real fun of the park?"<br /><br />One girl rolled her eyes. "No thanks," she said flatly.<br /><br />"Your loss!" Richard called back, trying to maintain his cool.<br /><br />The friends moved on, frustration creeping in.<br /><br />At the roller coaster line, they tried again.<br /><br />"Excuse me, miss," James said to a girl in line. "Want to skip the queue with us?"<br /><br />"Sorry, I'm good," she replied, ignoring him.<br /><br />The rejections continued, each one chipping away at their confidence. They tried jokes, pickup lines, even serenading a girl near the Ferris wheel, all to no avail.<br /><br />"What's going on?" Richard exclaimed. "Why's this so difficult?"<br /><br />"Maybe we're trying too hard," Michael suggested.<br /><br />"No, no, no," James snapped. "We're just not finding the right girls."<br /><br />Their frustration turned into bitterness, and their attempts became cruder. <br /><br />"Hey, sweetheart, you look lonely," Richard leered at a girl near the water ride.<br /><br />"Go away," she snapped.<br /><br />Their disrespect escalated as the sun began to set. Then, near a darkened corner, they stumbled across an older woman, her face wrinkled, her attire odd.<br /><br />"Whoa, look at that witch-looking lady," James laughed, pointing.<br /><br />"I bet she hasn't had fun in years," Michael added, smirking.<br /><br />"Hey there, beautiful," Richard called to her, sarcasm dripping from his words. "Want to hang out with some real men?"<br /><br />The woman's eyes narrowed, and she muttered something, her lips curling into a cold smile.<br /><br />"What's the matter, too ugly to talk?" James sneered.<br /><br />"Maybe she's just too wise to waste time on boys like you," the woman replied, her voice sharp.<br /><br />"Boys?!" Richard scoffed. "We're more man than you've seen in ages!"<br /><br />Continued at <a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.patreon.com/posts/day-at-park-part-87798068?utm_medium=sharesheet&utm_source=sharesheet&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link">www.patreon.com/posts/day-at-p&hellip;</a>
