The adventures of black thunder and McTrickle

In life everyone has their best friend. The person they do everything with, the person they tell everything to, and the person they share everything with. I have two best friends in my life, and their names are black thunder, and McTrickle. These aren't their real names of course. Their real names are Kyle and Victor, but when we joined our club (our super awesome amazing club) named WE ROCK! we decided that it was time to get some cooler names. Now I'm not saying we weren't cool already, but the names Kyle, Victor, and Emily just weren't cutting it for us.We decided, as we were a club of nature, that our nick names had to be of nature. Each person had to earn their special name, similar to how Native American's name their childern. Victor's name was the first we thought of.

One night during the summer, Victor, Kyle, and I were camping at Castle Rock Lake. It had been a long day of swimming, playing basketball, and visisting the local flea market so we decided it was time to cook dinner. The sky had been beatiful all day; clear, sunny, and birds chirping. Then of course just when we started to cook dinner it starting drizzling. It was only raining a bit but it was enough to put our campfire out. We decided to hit up the local McDonalds, frusterated and starving. By the time we got back to our campsite, the ground and our picnick bench were soaking wet. We decided to all climb into the tent and tell scary stories.

Kyle started off by telling a story of a man with a hook on his hand that used to murder lovers who parked their car in random places and made out. I'll admit, that one was scary but not as scary as mine. I told a story about a big hairy man that was half monkey, half man that roamed around Wisconsin for years. Supposedly his name was bigfoot I told them. Once everyone got a good scare out of those stories it was time for Victors. He told a story of a boy with dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, dark colored skin, and one ear peircing. This boy went from town to town killing his ex lovers who he could not bare to see in relationships with other boys. He named the boy black thunder. As Victor's story got scarier and scarier Kyle and I couldn't stop laughing because Victor was describing himself! As Victor got annoyed that we were laughing I said "Oh, black thunder don't be so upset", and from then on the name stuck. Victor was then known as black thunder.

Kyle's nickname, McTrickle was the next nickname to fall in the club's lap. Kyle had had this crazy obsession with waterfalls for years. Waterfalls were always on his mind. In school, at home, and most of all when he was hanging out with me and Victor. One day, Kyle was telling us about Niagra Falls. He was telling us all the facts of how tall it was, how many people drowned in it, and how many people go their to gush at the beatiful waterspout. I told Kyle we should just call him McTrickle because it suited his loving of all waterfalls personality. So, McTrickle it was. Now I just needed a cool nickname for the club.

Unfortunatley my name didn't have some cool story attached to it. Black thunder, McTrickle and I were sitting in journalism one day and decided that since their names had weird connotations with rain that mine to. We decided White Lightning would be appropriate because I'm white after all and it's the only element of rain we didn't use yet.


So there you have it. The story of how the coolest club got the coolest nicknames. Ever. End of story.
