Two males pick up a female hitchhiker who makes their lives very difficult.


Two males picked up a female hitchhiker, who made their lives difficult. Both males thought that she was very pretty. They only wanted one thing: sexual intimacy. They made things difficult for her. When she refused their sexual advances, they were making catcalls and cursory remarks at her.

She spoke up when the time was right and said, "Hey, I would really like to go to my destiny of choice. New York, New York, is where I want to go. To pursue my singing career, I'm looking for a place to get voice lessons to improve my voice. I would surely appreciate it if you could get me there without any trouble".

To decide what to do, the two males decided to put their heads together. Much to their disappointment, they decided to take her to New York. They thought about it for some time, and believed that it was the right thing to. do. They came up with a proposition for her. On one condition, they would agree to do this. When she begins to perform, she would need to give them a front row seat.

The two males took her to New York, New York, and dropped her off and wished her the best of luck.

There was a period of six months that passed, but the two males didn't hear a word from this female. They began to get worried, wondering what in tarnation was going wrong. They decided to try and track her down, but they had failed to get her name. This did not stop them from trying to find her.

It took the two males about three months to find her. When they found her, they began to get gruff. They asked her what had happened. The female replied that she was having a difficult time getting an agent that would represent her. She also said that there was a lot of competition out there, and that she still had to work on how to improve her voice.

The two males didn't believe that she was telling the truth, but the female reminded them to please be patient, and that she was good on her word. They were so tired of being given the run around that they began to put pressure on her. This scared the female so bad that she was fearing for her life. She told them to please be patient, and in time she would get them a front row seat to her performance. She asked them both for their names, and assured them that they would be sure to get a ticket when she gave her first performance.

The time was passing by, and still nothing was happening. The female began to get nervous when she was unable to get a agent. Finally, in about a year and a half, someone noticed how talented she was. The female practiced and practiced singing until it sounded absolutely beautiful. This was the break that she needed. She mentioned to the agent that she needed to get two tickets for a front row seat for two friends of hers. It was interesting that she would call these two males friends because of their meanness toward her, but she was true to her word, and sent the tickets in the male to them.

The two males were very surprised when they received their tickets. They made it to the performance and were very pleased that they had come. The female sounded so beautiful, like birds singing in the springtime and summer. At the end of the performance, they were able to talk to her, apologizing for the harsh treatment that they had given her.

This goes to show that it doesn't pay to be mean to someone whose only purpose is to fulfill her dream of being able to sing professionally, and who enjoys it as well. In this case, the female was very lucky not to have been violated sexually or, worse than that, killed.

I enjoyed singing since I was young. I don't remember how old I was, but I do know that singing and dancing was something that could bring out of a depressed mood. I was too shy when I was younger to get in front of a crowd; I was also afraid of getting into a contract that would pressure me to sing if I wasn't feeling well. This had prevented me from having the courage to do the two things that I enjoyed.

Wherever you are in life, don't give up on your dreams. Don't be afraid to go after something you enjoy, otherwise, you'll always wonder if you could've made it; there's the possibility that you could. Because I was shy, I did my singing and dancing in the privacy of my parents home. No one really knew that I had a talent. I still enjoy singing and dancing; I also enjoy writing. Perhaps there will come a day when my dreams will be fulfilled, and then perhaps you will enjoy that also. I am trying, and I know that if I don't try and make an attempt, I will never know the answer to the question if I could have made it.

As with the prompt for this story, even though the female was having trouble with the two males, she remained true to her word, and in response, she was able to be friends with the two males by sharing her success.

I encourage you to go for it by giving it a try. Nothing would make me happier than the happiness you would feel when you've accomplished your dream. I support you.
