MELTING..Checkpoint..2/5

We decided to kill some time              
Before the real party started              
After shivers ran down my spine              
We got in his car and departed              
Even though we werent going far              
I'm glad he volunteered to drive              
Seeing so many shooting stars              
We both were feeling super alive              
Now up ahead in the near distance              
We saw all these flashing lights              
Its the cops was my paranoid insistence              
And there's no way in hell I can act right            
As my mind was racing with demise        
The cars started slowing down ahead              
And what to our miserable surprise              
Not an accident but a checkpoint instead              
But Dave looked over at me              
And said don't worry I got this              
I trusted how so confidently              
He prepared for the upcoming word blitz              
The cop approached our car now parked              
And asked if we knew what was going on here        
 A moment of brilliance from Dave had sparked    Which calmed my ultra paranoia and fears              
"yes it's a checkpoint for sobriety              
Just went through one last week"              
I could not believe this was reality              
And Dave grabbed the information sheet              
Before the cop could respond his jaw dropped        As Dave quickly accelerated away              
We escaped the police and sobriety stop              
And lived to tell this story another day              
We finally got into the local town              
And arrived at the early summer fair              
With energy in my body now all around              
There's still more to this story soon to share
