How To Be Awesome

A book I'm writing about a couple friends who are complete nerds and are trying to be awesome according to a thirty year old handbook originally written by and for boy scouts xD It's a comedy book, so expect funniness.
---

"He's chasing us!"

"Well, I can see that, obviously."

"Well DO SOMETHING!"

Neil went into his purple pack of wonder, and took out his last fireball. He ran to the side of the beast, a pitched it towards his gut. The monster came down in flames, but not without a fight. It screeched and let out a fountain of acid from it's pores and it rained down over Neil and Jake.

"I don't have anymore healing potions!" cried Neil, his arm vaporizing before his eyes, his head pounding with blood.

He bandaged it, and wearily took his enchanted and glowing sword out of his pocket. It sparkled like it was the last stand. He ran towards the beast, and slashed. His sword reclined, and he hit again until finally, CLANG! He had hit the beast's weak spot.

The giant let out a loud, and final roar, and it collapsed to the ground, landing nearly on top of Jake, but knocked Jake clear across the forest.

Neil jolted towards him, and he was in near pieces.

Jake laid there, lifeless, and creeped out two more words, "Save... Greg."

"JAKE!", screamed Neil. Jake slowly disappeared into thin air along with the monster.

A loud boom shot out from no where, "GAME. OVER." and everything went black.
---
'I told you should have saved your lightning rods for the end boss!" complained Greg.

"I was going go get some more frost magic to freeze the guy, but you ran off ahead of me I and I had to respawn to catch up with you!" Neil retorted.

He exited out of World of Warcraft, and walked over to the couch where Bruce was sucked into Halo. He scarfed down some low-fat popcorn, and leaned back into the hypo-allergenic pillow.

As he reached for his new silver and bronze God of War X-Box controller, Bruce held up his free hand and said, "Wait until the end of the level. I'm in my zone."

Jake pounded both scrawny fists on the door. Greg carefully stepped down the last three stairs he was standing on, and shouted "Just a minute Jake."

He unlocked the door and Jake shot right past him. Typical.

"O-M-G guys, guess what happened today!"

Bruce didn't budge while Neil glared at him. Jake was the most annoying roomate a friend could ever have. While the rest of us had some dignity, Jake was such a computer geek he used internet talk at work, to his so called friends, and even to the cashier at Burger King. Neil, the least nerdy of the bunch, is his friend's brother to him, and isn't too peachy about it.

---

How'dya like it? It's kinda based off Big Bang Theory, but instead it's pretty much them trying to be cool.

Re: How To Be Awesome

So, what, they're four stereotypical nerds trying to become "cool"? Nice.


Yawn, another boring text signature. I should really make something better.

Re: How To Be Awesome

nice job, like the intro. you probably could have made more of it tough. like hell over exaggerate everything, and make it seem like it's going to be a lord of the rings epic- but then just turns out to be a video game. (or even better, dungeons and dragons xD)

you should make it at the end they find  the chemical compound for coolness, and so they start getting all the girls and tones of friends. just an idea.

Re: How To Be Awesome

What if...they get this new virtual-reality video game so they can become "cool", but then they can't escape from the game and have to FIGHT for their SURVIVAL.

Back on topic, how do you like the editsi n the beginning? I will change them if I need to, but I want it to keep around a the same story. I want someone to die in the beginning so that in the next chapter you feel better since Jake isn't dead  big_smile

Re: How To Be Awesome

Cool just means that you have reached a certain point in awesomosity, and if you don't know what awesomosity is then you probably don't have a very high score

Re: How To Be Awesome

Cool means your well-respected among a group of people, and not all of society.

And the only way you can be cool by your definition is to become a stuck up snob who bags on everyone. That's totally a high level of "awesomeosity" (that words not helping you) right?

Cool just means your temperature isn't warm, and it isn't cold.

Ahem. It's was a joke http://i52.tinypic.com/2uzp8qq.png

And, I don't understand, awesomeosity is just supposed to be a level of awesomeness, it's not even real. I didn't mean it like that http://i53.tinypic.com/2m2bbbl.png

My mom made it up for me. I guess that makes my level not too high either http://i52.tinypic.com/2uzp8qq.png

Let's just all agree that cool means you have the magical skill to wear sunglasses and be yellow and still look good.  cool
