A Beer in the Hand is Worth Two in the Quarry, Submission 2 by Charlie Arnold

At this point there's more beer in the carpet than the cups. Something else needs to be done to maintain interests as the embers fade. “I know of this party at the quarry. Everyone’s supposed to be there. They said some big show’s going down” said Jason. Tim is already passing out. There’s no chance he’s going to make it out the door. “Well I guess it’s up to us” yells Gabi as she jumps up, grabs the keys, and throws them at Jason faster than he can catch.

They arrived too late. Instead of feeling they missed out they are relieved. It’s better not to imagine why a donkey is being lead off stage. The car is playing a lonely game of chicken as they watch . Jason hits what he thinks are the brakes hard. The car accelerates kicking up stones. Startled by the barrage the crowd disperses into the night. With few options Gabi jumps out of the car followed by Jason. They roll to a stop as the car continues into the quarry.

“Now how are we supposed to get back” screams Gabi. Jason looks over to the donkey, Gabi mounts. “How do you get it started?” asks Jason as he puts his hand to his chin because he believes it gives the look of deep contemplation. A voice comes from the shadows, “smack the ass.” Gabi looks back in disgust as she rides off into the distance.

The voice didn’t clarify which ass should have been smacked. What got the donkey moving was Gabi’s heels when she jumped at the surprise of getting smacked by Jason.
