Story 1: Driving to Cleveland
Jackson and Gobo were so excited to go to the One Republic Live Concert in Cleveland. Before the concert, they’ll go out to dinner at the Winking Lizard. Also, they’ll meet Ryan Tedder by going up on stage to sing and take photos with him. Jackson and Gobo were inside Jackson’s green and blue electric convertible car driving to Cleveland while they listened to some One Republic music on Jackson’s phone. Gobo sat next to Jackson on the front row seat.
“Oh boy! I am so excited to go to the One Republic Concert in Cleveland with you, Gobo!” said Jackson.
“Me too Jackson! What time is the One Republic Concert?” asked Gobo.
“The One Republic Concert will start at 8:00pm. We’ll go out to dinner before the concert!” said Jackson.
“That sounds perfect! Tell you what, I’ll use my phone to look up the restaurants in Cleveland!” said Gobo.
“That’s a good idea!” said Jackson.
Gobo used his phone to look up some restaurants in Cleveland.
“How about we go out to dinner at the Winking Lizard! They have a lot of good burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, and other food there!” said Gobo.
“Sure! We could go out to dinner at the Winking Lizard!” said Jackson.
“True chiz!” grinned Gobo.
“Say, shall we jam and vibe to some One Republic music while we drive to Cleveland?” smiled Jackson.
“Heck yeah! Let’s do it!” grinned Gobo.
Jackson and Gobo jammed and vibed to some One Republic music while driving to Cleveland.
Story 2: Dinner at the Winking Lizard
At the Winking Lizard, Jackson and Gobo sat at the booth table and pigged out on their dinner while they were striking some conversations with each other. Jackson had a Patty Melt Burger with a side of fries and a cup of Coke. Gobo had a Swiss Cheeseburger with a side of mac and cheese and a cup of Strawberry Lemonade.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!” laughed Jackson and Gobo.
“How’s your dinner?” asked Jackson.
“It’s really good! How was your’s?” asked Gobo.
“Mine was good too!” said Jackson.
“Hey Jackson, shall we take a selfie together?” asked Gobo.
“Heck yeah Gobo! Let’s do it!” smiled Jackson.
Jackson and Gobo took a selfie on Jackson’s phone.
“Anyhow, I’m looking forward to meeting Ryan Tedder at the One Republic Concert!” said Jackson.
“Yeah me too! At least we brought 2 tickets to meet Ryan Tedder at the One Republic Concert!” said Gobo.
“We sure did! What if we go up on stage to meet Ryan Tedder and take photos with him?” asked Jackson.
“That would be cool! I’m sure Ryan will look forward to meeting us!” said Gobo.
“I’m sure he will! Hey Gobo, I’m going to use the restroom real quick! I’ll be right back!” said Jackson.
“Okay Jackson!” said Gobo.
Jackson got up from the booth table and headed to use the bathroom real quick. Gobo continued to eat his dinner while he saw the lizard inside his exhibit room watching TV.
“Hey, I saw the lizard inside his exhibit room watching TV! I wonder what he’s watching!” said Gobo.
Gobo kept eating his dinner while he was still watching the lizard. Then, Jackson came out of the restroom and sat at the booth table across from Gobo.
“I’m back Gobo!” said Jackson.
“Hey Jackson, check out the lizard back there inside his exhibit room!” said Gobo.
“Wow! That is a cool lizard! He must be relaxing on the tree branch while he’s watching TV!” said Jackson.
“I can tell he’s watching Lamb Chop’s Play Along on the PBS Kids Channel!” said Gobo.
“I’ve never heard that TV Show before! What was the show about?” asked Jackson.
“It’s a TV Show about Shari Lewis and the Lamb Chop Puppet talking about funny jokes/riddles, singing some silly songs, and telling stories with the kids and Lamb Chop’s buddies (Hush Puppy and Charlie Horse)! You’ll have to watch it! It’s a cool TV Show!” said Gobo.
“That is an interesting TV Show! I’m sure I’ll watch a Lamb Chop TV Show!” said Jackson.
Gobo took a picture of the lizard watching Lamb Chop’s Play Along on his phone.
“We’ll have to watch it tomorrow while we hang out together,” said Gobo.
“I sure will! Anyhow, are you ready to drive to Cain Park Evans Theater to pay for our tickets for the One Republic Concert?” asked Jackson.
“Yup! Let’s go then!” said Gobo.
Jackson and Gobo got up from the booth table, carried their purses, left the Winking Lizard, and headed outside the parking lot while the lizard was still watching Lamb Chop’s Play Along inside his exhibit room.
Story 3: Outside the parking lot
After dinner, Jackson and Gobo hopped inside Jackson’s car and buckled their seatbelts before driving to the Cain Park Evans Theater to pay for their tickets to see One Republic at their concert.
“Alright Gobo! Let’s hit the road!” cheered Jackson.
“To the One Republic Concert we go!” beamed Gobo.
“Woo!” cheered Jackson.
“Whoopie!” beamed Gobo.
Jackson used his car keys to start the engine. But the engine did not start.
“What’s wrong?” asked Gobo.
“I don’t know! My car engine will not start!” confused Jackson.
Jackson tried very hard to start the engine with his car keys. The engine still did not start.
“Jeepers! That’s weird! My car is out of gas!” confused Jackson.
“Ugh great! How are we going to drive to the Cain Park Evans Theater to see Ryan Tedder at the One Republic Concert while your car is out of gas?” worried Gobo.
Jackson and Gobo unbuckled their seatbelts and hopped off Jackson’s car while they were stuck in the parking lot.
“Honestly, we will be stuck in the parking lot…forever!” flustered Jackson.
“Then, we will end up missing the One Republic Concert while your car is out of gas! What’ll we do?” frazzled Gobo.
“Don’t worry Gobo! We’ll help push my car to the gas station and help fill up the gas for the engine to turn on again before driving to the concert!” said Jackson.
“But how do we do that?” asked Gobo.
“We’ll just use our muscles to push my car to get to the gas station!” said Jackson.
“Alright! Let’s do it then!” said Gobo.
Jackson and Gobo used their muscles to help push Jackson’s car to the gas station and help fill up the gas for the engine to restart again before driving to the concert.
