The Misadventures of Country Bumpkin in the Big City Episode 1

On the lighter side, occasionally I'll write some flash fiction.  Serious, juvenile, mocking sophistication.  Without further ado...

The Misadventures of Country Bumpkin in the Big City

 
Episode 1 - The High Flatulent Beer

Scene 1

Winston and Sophie are getting ready to go out for date night when there's a knock on the door.
Winston: Who could that be?
Winston walks to the door.  In the background
Sophie: Remember it's date night.
Winston looks out the peephole to see Bubba eating a large bag of Cheetos.  Winston opens the door. Bubba walks in uninvited.
Bubba: Heya buddy, I was in the neighborhood so dropped by.  You got any of that high flatulent beer around?
Bubba wipes the orange Cheeto residue from his hands on his shirt.
Sophie: That's disgusting.
Winston: Why don't you use a napkin for that?  There's one in the kitchen by the wine.  We have time for one drink then Sophie and I have plans.
Sophie glares at Bubba and Winston and walks out onto the balcony.
Winston: You get the wine and I'll go talk with her.
Winston walks out to the balcony and Bubba goes to the kitchen.

Scene two

Bubba grabs a rag left out and wipes this hands and mouth leaving orange residue visible on the rag.  He then grabs a bottle of moderately expensive wine and pulls the cork out.  He takes a shot straight from the bottle and frowns.
Bubba: This tastes rotten.
Bubba then pours wine into a carafe and pours some brown sugar into the wine.  He grabs a spatula out of the sink and starts stirring the mixture and exclaims
Bubba (in a Kool Aid Man voice): Oh yeah!
(Background) Winston: You coming Bubba?
Bubba: Yeah, just a second.
Bubba places the orange stained rag over the carafe and walks out to the balcony.

Scene three

Bubba brings the carafe out to the balcony.  Sophie sees the rag.
Sophie: Bubba, that's disgusting!
Bubba: What is?
Winston: Never mind.  We only have time for one drink.
Bubba tosses the rag on the ground and starts to pour glasses of wine, knocking one over.
Bubba: I'm sorry, I'm a klutz.
Winston: No worries.
Winston takes the carafe and pours the remaining glass.
Winston: What should we drink to?
Sophie: To date night.
All: To date night.
Sophie takes a sip.
Sophie: This doesn't taste right.
Winston takes a sip.
Winston: No it doesn't.  What did you do Bubba?
Bubba: Added some brown sugar to the high flatulent beer.
Sophie: No! It has glutens now! I can't have any glutens!
Bubba leans over and looks at girlfriend's buttocks.
Bubba: Yeah, that's not a good idea, your glutes are getting big.
Sophie throws her glass of wine on Bubba.
Bubba sucks some wine from his shirt.
Bubba: Tastes good now.
End.
